Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, Richmond proposes to issue a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) to support DLA's Strategic Sourcing and Automated BHTI Catalog / BOA initiatives. This strategic effort includes multiple NSNs to support various weapon systems / operational platforms associated with the BHTI Military Spares Catalog. A total of 299 NSNs are targeted for this RFP and contract action. It is anticipated that 299 items will be priced for the contract award. OEM Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. (97499) is the approved source of supply for these items; therefore, the proposed action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to the OEM. It is the Government's intent to use a letter solicitation format to the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); therefore, if a non-OEM source is interested in any of the NSNs, please notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date. These items have been identified as sole source; however, some items may have history showing awards to other than the OEM. Surplus dealers are also invited to respond to this synopsis. The response should include a completed surplus certificate, DLA Procurement Note 04, Government Surplus Property Material or adequate traceability documentation to show that the product is acceptable. Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM should identify items of interest and include evidence of ability to supply the items in accordance with the aforementioned acquisition strategy. In addition, respondents should identify the quantity available and price. DLA will consider all such responses and may alter the acquisition strategy if purchase of existing surplus or newly-manufactured inventory is in the best interest of the government. Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM are required by Tuesday, April 21, 2020. A copy of the letter of interest should be forwarded to the contracting officer identified herein and SBA PCR (anne.mastrincola@dla.mil). Additionally, letters expressing interest in subcontracting provided to the contracting officer will be forwarded to the identified Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This is proposed to be a FAR Part 15 effort. The attached 299 NSNs have been identified for the current procurement. If other NSNs are subsequently added, as defined by the terms of the contract, they will be synopsized separately. The anticipated closing date is Tuesday, May 12, 2020. Place of Contract Performance: 8000 Jefferson Davis Highway Richmond, Virginia 23297-5000 United States
