- Description
- The Marine Corps Systems Command is seeking potential commercial sources to perform in the role of Product Support Integrator (PSI) for the tactical fuel and water distribution systems. The tactical fuel and water distribution systems are composed of collapsible tanks, hoses (various sizes and types), centrifugal pumps, filter separators, fuel monitors, hose reel system, quality surveillance equipment, fire fighting equipment, aircraft and ground refueling nozzles, repair equipment, and connection components to receive, store, transfer and distribute fuel in an expeditionary environment. The tactical fuel and water systems are located within the Marine Corps Operating Forces, aboard Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) ships, and held in long term storage at Logistics Support Bases. The Marine Corps will implement PSI for the tactical fuel and water systems in order to provide the war fighter increased operational readiness; increased reliability; enhanced logistics response times; enhanced deployment support; enhanced wartime support; reduction in the logistics footprint, and reduction in logistics costs. The selected PSI contractor will be responsible for procurement and logistics support, which could include, but is not limited to; procurement of components from suppliers and manufactures, provisioning of new systems and components, develop data system to manage shelf-life /use-life of components, technical data (manual), training, supply support, track transportation of new and replacement components, calibration program of meters and quality surveillance equipment, and limited maintenance of components. The Marine Corps will retain responsibility for the scheduled and unscheduled maintenance, initial testing of new components, management and inventory of systems at using unit and long term storage level, publications, and unit level follow-on training of tactical fuel and water systems. The system support processes will be transparent to the war fighter. Desired Results and Outcomes: Expected perf ormance results from the PSI contractor for the tactical fuel and water systems is achievement of efficiencies that drives the system to an increase in operational availability by; reducing the logistics burden, reducing procurement times, centralized life cycle sustainment management and ultimately reducing costs to the Marine Corps.
