- Description
- Industrial Product - Vendor Support (IPV) - Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Successor Initiative. These Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) initiatives support the implementation of a total supply chain management system by the contractors to provide direct support of bench stock items to Army Material Command (AMC) Depots. A Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between AMC and DLA establishes the IPV programs as managed partnerships where DLA supported by IPV contractors provides full supply chain management to Army Maintenance Depots for bench stock items (materiel stored in bins such as bolts, nuts, and washers. These parts support the maintenance, overhaul and repair of various weapons systems and other military equipment. The scope of the IPV program supports bench stock items. The IPV contractors are responsible for requisitioning material on behalf of the Army, providing required material, and stocking the bins at the production line. Support for this successor initiative includes the Anniston Army Depot (ANAD) located at Anniston, AL and the Red River Army Depot (RRAD) located at Texarkana, TX and the possibility of an additional site added after award of contract. Each Army site will be separate contracting initiatives. This announcement constitutes an official Request for Information (RFI). Intent is to identify market interest and solicit recommendations as how best to define requirements for PBL solicitations/contracts supporting IPV at both depot locations. Future solicitations/contracts will provide total support and management services supporting IPV for each Army site. The current Red River IPV contract expires July 18, 2021. The current Anniston IPV contract expires September 15, 2021. This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the Government. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract. The purpose of this RFI is to determine suitability of current industry capabilities and to support the possibility of a competitive requirement. DLA Land and Maritime intends to use information resulting from the RFI responses to aid in refining its acquisition strategy, budgeting assumptions, set-aside determination and performance specifications to be included in the RFP.Objectives: DLA Land and Maritime will utilize PBL contracts to provide IPV support at each designated Army depot site. The overarching objective is to meet the following performance metrics at a reasonable cost: (1) To have bench stock items that conform to specification always available when needed (2) responding to zero stock balances that impacts production bin fill rates, (3) meeting a required bin fill rate, (4) meeting required average customer wait time for all stock outs, and (5) insuring zero quality defects. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) defines the effort required to implement the IPV program. There are two different PWSs attached to the notice. The PWS is site-specific. The Government may issue separate solicitations to support each site (ANAD and RRAD) under FAR Part 12 that may result in fixed price contracts lasting 7 years (5 year base with 1, two-year option). Estimated award dates are 3rd quarter fiscal year (FY) 2021 for the contracts supporting ANAD and RRAD. Although DLA’s intent is to issue an IPV contract for each depot; this Request for Information/Market Survey combines both requirements. The reason for combining both requirements to obtain market information is based upon the IPV requirements for each depot is similar. Responses: Written response to this RFI shall be single spaced and should address all the topics stated in the attached questionnaire. If material provided contains proprietary information, please mark and identify disposition instructions (submitted data will not be returned). Responses should include, but are not limited to the following: (A) Company History: To include; Small Business Administration (SBA) size classification; major products; and primary customer base. Additionally, RFI responders should provide examples of past experience that would warrant the Government’s consideration of the company as a prospective contractor for maintenance, supply support, training and all other services listed in the PWS. (B) Metrics: Utilizing the metrics listed above and methods to create and maintain a metrics database, for monitoring the performance of each functional area of the contract. (C) Additional Information: Technical or otherwise, provide information to aid the Government in making an informed assessment of the suitability of the commercial marketplace to accomplish IPV support. The technical responses should address elements in the PWS. (D) Cost: Vendor should provide a Rough Order Magnitude (ROM) for elements addressed in the PWS to include a cost of start-up/implementation.Depot Tours: A tour of the depots prior to the issuance of solicitation may be possible. Please indicate if interested in participating in a tour of the depots. Submission Information: RFI responses shall be submitted electronically to DSCC.IPV@dla.mil no later than December 10, 2019. Additional Information: There is no commitment by the Government to issue a solicitation, make an award or awards, or to be responsible for any monies expended by industry responses to this RFI. If a solicitation is released, it will be synopsized in the Beta.SAM.gov website located at http://beta.sam.gov/. It is anticipated that solicitations will be open for a minimum of 30 days. All information received in response to this RFI that is marked Proprietary will be handled accordingly. Responses to the RFI will not be returned.
