A determination by the Government not to compete this proposed contract based upon responses to this notice is solely within the discretion of the Government.� Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a sole source or competitive procurement. PURPOSE:� The Government desires a Performance Based Long Term Contract provider to enter into a partnership to include supply support, demand/planning forecasting, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage/warehousing, reliability improvements, and field customer service/engineering support of the A-10 Airframe manufactured by Northrop Grumman, and the associated A-10 Bill of Materials (BOM) of DLA managed consumable parts attached to support United States Air Force (USAF) customers.� The contract is anticipated to be Requirements-type, Firm Fixed Price Contract, with a five-year base period, and 1, five-year option period. OBJECTIVES:� The overarching objectives of this acquisition are to: (1) decrease A-10 Airframe repair delays due to outstanding consumable requirements, and fill requisitions within material availability priorities; and (2) accelerate the airframe repair turnaround time through enhanced material availability.� In order to meet these objectives, the contractor must have the ability to drive changes into the weapons system configuration and, more importantly, understand, analyze, and assess the implications�both in terms of performance and operational usage�of any potential configuration change.� The contractor will be required to aggregate all material requirements in order to leverage the best value for material support. �The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies utilizing a Performance Based Long Term Contract process that pushes material into the DLA system to satisfy demands while significantly reducing DLA�s inventory investment and / or provides material directly to the end user. The contractor shall be responsible for forecasting, acquiring, stocking, and fulfilling requirements via its commercial operation/facility utilized to meet contract requirements.� In addition to filling material requirements, the contractor is required to make recommendations for Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs) along with being responsible for obsolescence management and mitigating Diminishing Manufacturing Source (DMSMS) challenges for the A-10 Bill of Materials (BOM).
