THIS IS A COMBINED SYNOPSIS/SOLICITATION FOR COMMERCIAL ITEMS PREPARED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FORMAT IN SUBPART 12.6, AS SUPPLEMENTED WITH ADDITIONAL INFORMATION INCLUDED IN THIS NOTICE. THIS ANNOUCEMENT CONSTITUTES THE ONLY SOLICITATION; PROPSOALS ARE BEING REQUESTED. 1. The Army Material Command (AMC) has recently completed a full operational assessment of all AMC Life Cycle Management Commands (LCMC) and Depots/Arsenals to evaluate the readiness and efficiency of the depot operations. This effort also assessed key LCMC activities that impact Organic Industrial Base (OIB) performance. Through the operational assessment effort, AMC has identified numerous improvement opportunities that in total would transform OIB operational performance to better support of Army logistics. This involves improving processes, practices, behaviors, metrics, use of systems, employment of advanced technologies, operating models, strategies, coordination, reporting, culture, and management of human capital. The transformation involves shop floor operational improvements at the depots and arsenal themselves, improved processes and capabilities at the LCMCs, and better coordination, oversight, and support between the installations, LCMCs, and AMC. For results of these assessments please refer to Attachment 0002_AMC OBI Assessment Result. Additionally, upon award the awardee will also be provided with additional information and access as needed to complete the scope of work required. 2.
