DLA Aviation Philadelphia is re-synopsizing the request for proposal for the requiring requirement in support of the V-22 COI:
DLA Aviation at Philadelphia anticipates possible award of a contract for the acquisition of performance based support, asfollows – logistics management, which includes wholesale supply support, Organizational, Intermediate and depot-level consumable support, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage, reliability improvements, and field engineering support for the Bell Boeing V-22 Next Phase COI items. DLA seeks to execute a comprehensive and holistic performance based supply chain management program to support the V-22 platform. The support is broken down into two areas: direct aviation platform material support and spare parts/material support used in the repair of aviation airframes and components at fleet sites and DoD authorized repair depots. For the direct material support, the contractor will be required to fill DoD and FMS customer requisitions for approximately 4,314 National Stock Numbers (NSNs). The NSNs are comprised of consumable spares and those consumables required to support Organizational, Intermediate and Depot level maintenance. The contractor will be required to meet supply chain performance based metrics for material availability for approximately 4,314 NSNs for this phase. The contractor is expected to make recommendations for Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). Additionally, the contractor will be required to aggregate all material requirements, i.e. production, repair, allowances, in order to leverage the best value for material support. The contractor will be paid based on the aggregate demands or other appropriate measurements of usage of the platform. The items that will be included in this contract are currently procured under various contracts with the DLA. The contract will also include necessary support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers.
The anticipated Contract will be strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for procurement of a wide range of supplies and Depot support. The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies to Government wholesale and retail supply points both CONUS and OCONUS within specified time windows. The contractor will be required to provide consumable material support used in repair of Organizational, Intermediate and Depot Level maintenance. Performance will include a five year base period with one five year option to extend the contract for a total performance period of ten years.
The Bell Boeing Joint Project Office is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of these items with design control, authorization, and documentation to manufacture. The Bell Boeing Joint Project Office (JPO) is a joint venture of Bell Textron, Inc. and The Boeing Company and is considered a separate business entity from both parent companies. The JPO owns the limited data rights to these items. The Government does not have the drawings or complete data packages. However, some limited demand data is available upon request.
Performance Based functions generally include: demand forecasting, inventory management, warehousing, configuration management, obsolescence management, training, and sustaining engineering/ maintaining reliability. There are approximately 4,314 consumable items to be covered by this contract with almost all consumables to be maintained under Performance Based criteria to include an availability metric/fill rate, with flexibility/processes to add more items including DLRs as requirements dictate.
A full list of NIINs is attached. The Government retains the right to add and delete NSNs as necessary. Any entity interested in providing some of the required products but cannot provide the required Performance Based outcome may be afforded an opportunity to partner with the primecontractor, Bell Boeing, or participate as a subcontractor. Please provide any anticipated teaming arrangements, along with a description of similar support offered to the Government and to commercial customers for the past three years. Any responses involving teaming arrangements should delineate between the work that will be accomplished by the prime and the work accomplished by the teaming partners. Entities seeking to become an approved source of supply for any of the items covered by this notice should note that the time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source. Sources that are not approved for manufacture of these items must obtain source approval from the Government. Please note that if the evaluation of source approval requirements precludes the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet Government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on support needs.
