REQUEST FOR INFORMATION OBJECTIVE NAVAIR Lakehurst's USMC Expeditionary Airfield Sustainment Lighting Program (SLP) is issuing a Request for Information (RFI) seeking integrated solutions to supply materials, tools and equipment for the management and operation of US Marine Corps expeditionary airfields located throughout world in current and future Areas Of Responsibility (AOR)'s. This initiative will also support Contingency Operations, Training, Exercises, and Humanitarian Relief efforts in the US and throughout the AOR's. The objective for this initiative is supporting the customer by ensuring reduced cycle times, achieving the best pricing available utilizing commercial business practices, and structuring processes to ensure maximum oversight, reducing administrative burden and increasing customer satisfaction while allowing the customers to focus on their core competencies. INITIATIVE OVERVIEW The Sustainment Lighting Program is one of the four systems of USMC Expeditionary Airfields supporting the forward deployed Marine. The Government is requesting input from industry, to determine the potential for a Long Term Contract in support of the Marine Corps expeditionary airfield operations, specifically the SLP. Projected Scope of Work: • Supply Chain Management → Develop and maintain an active and continually evolving state of the art supplier base • Distribution and Warehousing → Utilize transportation infrastructure to support geographic locations throughout the world to support EAF Marines • Quality Control → insure all products tendered meet the appropriate recognized national and industry standards regarding inspection, testing, grading, marking and general quality. • Customer Direct Support → Ensure all products delivered to ordering activities comply with the description of products requested by the customer • Data Management → Utilize a management System that is compatible with industry and government systems Item Selection → Any item required by the ordering activity to support construction and routine maintenance of EAF Airfields. In general, the scope includes Sustainment Lighting for EAF Airfields materials and other supplies, including but not limited to:  Electrical products (generators, wire, connectors, sockets, outlets, lights, etc.)  Tools of various kinds  Communication devices (such as walkie-talkies, two-way radios, etc. used by the maintenance personnel).  Contractors should be able to supply the entire product types listed above, as well as various other immediate need maintenance and repair items. • Non-routine Type Items → Items that might not routinely be used in the operations arena, but for reasons within the discretion of the ordering activity, the ordering activity has determined to use such supplies to meet its requirements.
