Description

PBL for F/A-18E-F & EA-18G Consumables Request For Information (RFI) Support Concepts & Cost Estimate PURPOSE: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation is currently conducting market research for performance based logistics support for F-18E/F/G consumables. As was presented at the F/A-18 Consumables Industry Day, NAVSUP WSS is transitioning the F/A-18 platform national stock numbers (NSN) from the Navy to DLA Aviation effective 1 Sep 12. DLA is interest in identifying whether potential respondents have the full range of capability and are capable of bearing the full cost and performance risk of supporting the program. In order to ensure we are capitalizing on industry ™s experience and innovation, DLA Aviation is asking interested contractors to provide potential support concepts and cost estimate for the requirement presented below. Upon receipt of responses, DLA will review and craft an affordable acquisition strategy that will optimize the support it can provide to the Navy customer. REQUIREMENTS: During the F/A-18 Consumables Industry Day on 14-15 Aug 12, DLA Aviation laid out a description of the requirements for the acquisition of approximately 11,500 NSNs in world-wide support of the F/A-18E-F and EA-18G platforms. The requirement is envisioned to be competitive (full and open), with the resultant contract being a performance based, 5-year, FFP indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) type contract with a 3 year base and 1-2 year option. The primary objectives to be achieved by the contractor who is awarded this contract is 90% material availability (MA) and zero backorders greater than 180 days. Deliveries of materials shall meet the time-definite delivery standards stated in DoD 4140.1-R, dated 23 May 03. The need date for award of a resultant contract is 1 Oct 13. At this point, DLA intends to consume existing inventory and transition management responsibilities and inventory investment to a selected contractor to support future demands. DLA will consider other solutions that provide better support or less cost. SMALL BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD: The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for this anticipated acquisition is 336413. SUPPORT CONCEPTS: In order to determine the best way forward, the DLA Aviation Team is requesting that interested contractors provide: 1.Explanation of the overall acquisition approach suggested, which should include, at a minimum, the following: -Single contract award or breakout -Strategies to reduce inventory, to include contractor ownership -Entry and exit strategies oTransition of inventory “ active & inactive NSNs oHow long for transition oInventory will be located at DLA storage facilities at the beginning of transition. Desire recommendations on best value method to transfer or consume Government owned inventory during drawdown -Management for Active population of NSNs to include forecasting and replenishment -Discuss strategies for achieving material cost reductions -Recommendations for support of emerging demands for the Inactive NSN population. -Discuss potential options for incentives and disincentives -Highlight potential cost/performance efficiencies and methods driving those efficiencies -Recommended additional potential metrics that would be beneficial -Process for completing timely source inspections -Methodology for filling backorders and the resolution process -Handling of expected exclusions/exceptions to the NIIN population and how to handle with regards to the effects on the metrics -Discuss considerations for unforecasted demand -Discuss achievements of DoD Small Business goals and plans to ensure compliance and increased growth in achievement over the term of the contract 2.Assumptions made in developing this RFI response 3.Expectations of DLA/Navy from contractor ™s perspective for data, tools, assets, expertise, collaboration, etc. COST ESTIMATE: In addition to the above requested support concepts, DLA Aviation is asking interested contractors to provide a budgetary estimate to execute the requirement. Please note this is not a request for proposal, but instead is a request for an estimate to execute the requirement. Under no circumstances shall a contractor solicit quotations on the NSNs from the various suppliers. For purposes of this RFI, use $77.8M per year as the estimated material cost (unloaded). Responders should also take into consideration that some items may require source inspection for critical safety items. DLA will clearly identify those items in any subsequent RFP. Request you provide estimates on the following: Program Support (Number of man-years by job description/level of expertise). Estimated price of transportation based on cube/weight (transportation to point of embarkation for OCONUS deliveries). Estimated price of warehousing based on provided transactions and cube/weight. In addition to the above, request contractors estimate (high-level) change in cost for increases in performance levels (Increase MA from 90% to 95% and Zero backorders greater than 90 days, vice 180 days). DISCLAIMERS: This RFI is for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or request for proposal. Neither DLA nor the Government will be responsible for any costs incurred in furnishing this information. No contractor will be eliminated from responding to a formal RFP on the basis of their response to this RFI and responses will not be used for source selection purposes. Although all comments received will be carefully reviewed and considered for inclusion in any possible later action, DLA makes no commitment to include any particular recommendations. Respondents will not be notified of the results of the review. DLA will not publicly disclose proprietary information obtained as a result of this RFI.
