- Description
- PLEASE NOTE CORRECTION OF POC EMAIL ADDRESS. CORRECT POC EMAIL ADDRESS IS: Laura.Barraza@dla.mil. The Defense Supply Center Columbus (DSCC) seeks expression of interest regarding DSCC?s desire to establish a Government supply contract for various ?kitting? projects. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) definition of kitting is ?two or more assorted items issued as a single item of supply?. The kit will have a Bill of Material and be used for a specific purpose. A kit will also consist of government approved components assembled in government approved packaging to be supplied to a storage depot or directly to the customer. Delivery destinations would include Defense Logistic Agency (DLA) depots and direct vendor delivery locations for Military bases located in the United States and worldwide. This prospective initiative will encompass multiple NSNs of various types, with a potential to add items over the life of the contract(s). This initiative anticipates a Request for Proposal (RFP), utilizing Best Value Source Selection criteria to award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract(s). Multiple awards are possible. The type of contract contemplated for this program is a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) or Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment (FP w/EPA) Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) with one or more option periods of one or more years. Standard long term contracts at DSCC are for a one year base period with four (4) one year options for a total contract length of five (5) years. Suggestions for other long term arrangements will be considered. The Government seeks information on vendors? capabilities and ideas for providing supply support. Depending upon the nature of the responses to this request, the Government will determine such things as acquisition strategy, source selection criteria, production lead times and economic order quantities. Each contract entered into under this prospective program will include surge and wartime readiness sustainment requirements. We anticipate the use of Electronic Commerce. Topics that vendors may wish to comment on include, but are not limited to: The overall feasibility and cost effectiveness of such an initiative Any Economic order quantities that lend themselves to price breaks Recommendations for use of existing Government furnished material Industry capabilities for long term support. If required, how would you help develop and configure a new kit? How would you deal with kit components that have a First Article Test (FAT), Critical Safety applications (CSI) or Shelf Life requirements? How do you monitor and make configuration changes? What would be the best method for acquiring sole source or long lead-time items? Would you buy from DLA if DLA offers the best deal in respect to price and/or delivery? What recommendations would you make if required to buy DLA managed kit components? Can you supply special packaging? Do you have a plan for handling surge demands? If customer requires services other than supplying actual kits, can you do that? (Such as stocking bins, re-ordering material, etc.) What other services in conjunction with kitting would you recommend? The Contractor will be required to deliver final products which will conform to the requirements cited in the Procurement Item Descriptions. Responses to this request that indicate that the information therein is proprietary or represents confidential business information will be received and held in confidence for U. S. Government only. However, DSCC?s intent is to develop an RFP with consideration to the aggregate of the information provided from industry as a whole. All respondents to this notice, who have not opted out, will automatically be placed on a mailing list to receive the RFP upon it?s issuance. Please provide written responses (emails are authorized) to the following POC: Defense Supply Center Columbus ATTN: Laura Barraza, Kitting Team Lead DSCC-QLAA 3990 East Broad Street Columbus Ohio 43215 Email address: Laura.Barraza@dla.mil Phone: (614) 692-2710 NOTICE: This notice of sources sought is the initiation of market research under FAR Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP).
