Logistics Civil Augmentation Program (LOGCAP) is an initiative by the United States Army to plan during peacetime for wartime or unforeseen military contingencies using commercial contractors to prepare plans and execute approved plans to provide logistics services and engineering support to augment U.S. forces in support of DOD missions with reasonable assurance of success and within reasonable costs.

Contractor must be able to obtain and provide a Secret Level Facility Security Clearance issued by Defense Security Service (DSS) prior to solicitation closing. REQUEST FOR COMMENT: At this time, we request your participation in a Request for Comment (RFC). The purpose of the RFC is to afford industry an opportunity to comment on any perceived issues with regard to the LOGCAP recompetition and to allow the Government to receive the benefit of industry comments. The Government's purpose in providing an opportunity for industry comment is to identify potential problem areas, and provide alternative recommendations in order to enhance the success of the initiative. The Government believes industry feedback is important, and is receptive to any and all ideas from industry which would result in limiting unnecessarily constraining requirements, realizing cost savings, or highlighting potential technical or contractual problem areas associated with the initiative. Any comments provided should not be viewed as a vehicle for presenting a specific approach or product intended to be proposed but as an opportunity to improve an eventual solicitation package. Comments, whether supportive or critical, are earnestly solicited regarding every aspect of the proposed initiative. Replies are not mandatory. Replies will be separated from, and have no bearing on, subsequent evaluation of proposals submitted in response to any resulting formal Request for Proposal. The use of comments received from industry to complete final statements of work and resulting solicitation documents will be at the discretion of the LOGCAP Program Manager (PM) and the Procuring Contracting Officer. Any subsequent solicitation will be synopsized prior to its release. Eligibility in participating in a future acquisition does not depend upon a response to this notice. The Government will not critique a potential offeror's comments and the RFC should not be used by offerors to market their products/services. The Government does not intend to pay for the information solicited and will not recognize any costs associated with submission of the RFC. Proprietary information is not being solicited. Information considered proprietary, if any, should be identified as such. Responses to this synopsis must be submitted in writing to either the Contract Specialist, Mr. Dick Terhune, (309) 782-8589, Fax: (309) 782-2673, email: terhuned@osc.army.mil or HQ, OSC Ombudsman, Mr. Stephen R.
