Description

The Naval Inventory Control Point, Philadelphia will be soliciting a proposal for total logistics support (TLS)of approximately 1700 Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) systems on H-60 Aircraft in operation by the Army, Army reserve, Navy, Navy Reserve, Air Force and Marine Corps. TLS is a process whereby the awardee provisions, stocks, repairs, and/or replaces, stores, and ships serviceable ready-for-issue equipment directly to the end user within guaranteed delivery timeframes. TLS also requires the awardee to provide an integrated product life cycle approach, whereby the awardee assumes responsibility for many management and support functions previously performed by the Government, including 1)modification and upgrade, 2)engineering and logistics support, 3)configuration management, 4)material management, including furnishing consumable parts, 5)maintenance of source data packages to account for technical changes. The contract will incentivize the awardee to provide commercial technology insertion through a requirement to improve reliability of H-60 APU systems, measured by increased mean flight hours between unscheduled removals of APUs. TLS of H-60 APU systems is premised on a teaming relationship between the awardee, Caterpillar Logistics Service, Inc. and Naval Aviation Depot Cherry Point, NC. The resultant contract will be a Requirements contract consisting of a 4 year Base, with 5 one-year options. Due to the unique nature of the TLS process for APU systems, only Honeywell International, Inc., which is providing TLS of APU systems on F/A-18, P-3, S-3 and C-2 Aircraft under an existing contract with the Navy, will be solicited. See Note 22.
