Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Philadelphia is issuing this combined sources sought and synopsis notice as means of: 1) conducting market research and to gauge potential interest in subcontracting opportunities for the support of the anticipated program in which DLA intends to contract on a sole source basis with The Boeing Company; 2) notification that DLA Aviation at Philadelphia will solicit for a follow-on contract with Boeing to execute a comprehensive and holistic performance based supply chain management program to support the P-8 aircraft. The acquisition of performance-based support will be under the Boeing Captains of Industry (BCOI) contract, SPRPA1-14-D-002U, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The contractor will be required to fill DoD and FMS customer requisitions for a total of 5,900 P-8 National Stock Numbers (NSNs). Approximately two/thirds are to be maintained under Performance Based criteria to include an availability metric/fill rate. Items not covered by the Performance Based metric will be handled as stock items with catalogue pricing and abbreviated lead times based on existing vendor agreements. The NSNs are comprised of consumable material. The contractor will be required to meet supply chain performance based metrics for material availability. Under the BCOI contract the contractor will provide following: logistics management, which Includes wholesale supply support, consumable support, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage, reliability Improvements, and engineering support. The support includes spare parts/material support used in the maintenance activities at P8 DoD Operating Sites. The contract is planned as a Firm Fixed Price action against the BCOI contract, which is strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for procurement of the P8 support. The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies to Government wholesale and retail supply points within specified timeframes. The BCOI contract has a performance period of five (5) year base period with one five (5) year option to extend the contract for a total performance period of ten years. Boeing will be using their commercial demand data to develop a forecast due to lack of military historical usage data. Provisioning has not been completed for this aircraft and changes are still being made to the design/configurations. Boeing will ensure the parts delivered are the latest configuration using their technical knowledge as the aircraft manufacturer delivering production aircraft. DLA intends to award a follow-on contract to Boeing as an interim support strategy for commercial common consumables during early operations and while processing the provisioning information. The long-term strategy is being developed as the aircraft continues to be provisioned. A complete list of NIINs and FSCs is attached.
