PROGRAM OBJECTIVES DISC is seeking from industry, the submission of Concepts that will incorporate into the logistics support system at Anniston Army Depot, innovative and efficient methods of supract term. The maximum term of the contract will not exceed five (1) years. Each contract year, whether in the base period or an option year, will have a specific dollar amount guaranteed. To the maximum extent practicable, the contract will be structured in accordance with Part 11 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). Specific modifications or revisions to the suggested provisions of those regulations, referred to as tailoring, as well as other provisions unique to government acquisition, will be implemented by an appropriate Addendum. II. CURRENT PROCEDURES NOTE: Prospective vendors should review the following information as baseline conditions from which to formulate improved logistical solutions. Vendors should determine the most efficient solution possible to enable the customers to perform their missions. If the additional U. S. Army sites are added, an amendment will a. 100% supply availability; b. Pricing and Material cross-referenced to MILSTRIP NSN by PN and technical data (prior to on-site inventory placement); c. Forecasting and tracking of material demand/usage and associated reports; d. Engineering and technical services, and configuration control; e. On-site positioning, replenishment, management of material and storage Bins; f. Billing on the basis of usage, rather than at time of bin replenishment. g. Provide initial stock based upon historical demand with adjustments to stock based upon real time usage; h. Material warranties; i. 14 hour emergency delivery; j. Kitting services ; 2. Surge and sustainment capability; are to be supported at all times; 8. Implementation of information technology that interfaces with organic information re required by ANAD to accomplish its respective mission. In the initial stage of the prospective contract, the scope of work will encompass only the logistical support for ANAD at Anniston, AL with respect to its requirements for spare parts and industrial hardware stored at or near the point of use in its maintenance, overhaul and repair mission (bench stock requirements). However, also included in scope of this endeavor is the potential broadening of the logistical support to the U.S. Army as follows: a. Expansion of logistical support to encompass those items, which are currently, stored in intermediate retail storage facilities at ANAD. If and when the logistical support thus expanded, delivery of those items will be required either to the intermediate storage facility or directly to the maintenance shop floor, as directed by ANAD through a requisitioning or order process. b. Expansion of logistical support to the four (4) additiot performance FSCs 1001, 1610, 1110, 1180, 1190, 8110, 8489, 4010, 4080, 4710, 4780, 4810, 1810, 1811, 1880, 1881, 1840, 1860, 1861, 1911, 1980, 1981, 1940, 1970, 1971, 1991, 1999, 6141, 6110, 6110, 6140, 6111, 6640, 6681, 7690, 8111, 9890, 9110 and 9901. C. Third Phase FSC Groups (Refer to Attachment I, Phase8.dbf for corresponding items.) Commencing with the ninth (9) month of contract performance Items to be furnished The balance of FSCs listed on page 1 of Addendum 7, after Phases 1 and 1 have been completed, and any other item which the customer determines to be bench stock will be furnished. NOTE: Submitters of concept papers are encouraged to offer a more ambitious, expedited phase-in schedule to attain levels of support that exceed the minimum schedules set forth above. Such schedules will be evaluated under factor No. 1 (Customer Oriented Supply Chain Management)ative cutoff date for submission of Concept Papers is October 17, 1998 at 1:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time (EST). Concept Papers received on or before that date will be evaluated for utilization at the Anniston Army Depot. Concept Papers received subsequent to that date may be evaluated for feasibility or utilization at other sites. If a Concept is received late and is not evaluated for utilization at the ANAD, the Proposer will be notified. The BAA number should be used on all correspondence regarding Concept Papers. A Concept Paper should outline, describe and otherwise explain the vendor's approach to support this initiative and the manner in which it will maintain sources, manufacturers, producers and other suppliers available for furnishing of these spare parts and others services in case of a nation emergency and to achieve industrial mobilization in time of war, international turmoil, and any anticipated surges in requirements. All Concept Papers will detail the elements of inventory control and supply maintenance, planning and forecasting, engineering and technical services, as well as surge and sustainment. The items of supply must conform to specifications and standards, quality conformance and quality certifications, identification of shelf-life requirements, and all other requirements of the specific item descriptions for the specific parts associated with maintenance, overhaul and repair of ground vehicles at the Anniston Army Depot. The COSCM concept must include a process and a time by which a 100 percent fill-rate will be achieved. A "100 percent fill-rate" means that a specific, needed, part, set, kit, chest, etc., is available for use when the Army mechanic or artisan attempts to retrieve it to accomplish his or her mission. The Concept should include innovation and efficiencies of supply chain management currently being employed in the commercial market place, and should reflect how those processes will be favorably. Customer affordability and cost/price realism are also important factors.The final award decision will then reflect an integrated analysis of expected outcomes and the price to achieve these results. We are requesting a cost management plan showing the methods and amounts of savings on an annual basis. Note: The contractual type that DISC proposes to use for this initiative is a firm fixed price or fixed price with economic price adjustment Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) having a base period of two (1) years and three (8) one-year options to extend the contract term.
