COMMERCE BUSINESS DAILY ISSUE OF SEPTEMBER 16,1998 PSA#2181BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT BROAD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT SP0500-97-BAA01
AMENDMENT 2, ADDENDUM NO. 9 REVISION #1 FOR THE UNITED STATES MARINE
CORP LOGISTICS BASES ALBANY, GA AND BARSTOW, CA, AND THE BLOUNT ISLAND
COMMAND, FL By the use of Broad Agency Announcement (BAA)
SP0500-97-BAA01, as amended, the Defense Industrial Supply Center
(DISC) is seeking industry assistance in the re-engineering of the
methods by which DISC, as an Inventory Control Point (ICP) within the
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), will provide logistics support to its
military customers. This initiative is referred to as the DISC
Industrial Prime Vendor Program (DISC-IPVP). This Addendum No. 9 is a
request for the submission of Concepts for innovative methods for DISC
to provide the full breadth of Customer Oriented Supply Chain
Management (COSCM) with respect to the spare parts and industrial
hardware requirements of the United States Marine Corps Logistics Bases
located at Albany, GA, (MCLB Albany), Barstow, CA (MCLB Barstow), and
Blount Island Command, FL (BIC, FL). PLEASE NOTE THAT, IN 1999, DISC
WILL BE INTEGRATED WITH DEFENSE SUPPLY CENTER, PHILADELPHIA (DSCP). ANY
REFERENCE HEREIN TO DISC MEANS "DISC" OR ITS SUCCESSOR, "DSCP". The
supply items which the successful contractor will be required to
furnish under the contract are those that are maintained at or near the
point of use in the maintenance, overhaul and repair of land vehicles
at the two (2) MCLBs cited above, and in the logistical support
provided by BIC are as follows: Non-binnable items located at or near
the maintenance lines known as "Line Side Stock (LSS)", items usually
stored in a single bin or multiple sets of bin(s) at or near the
maintenance lines known as "Pre-Expended Bins/Benchstock (PEB/BS)", and
may include items containing a number of designated replacement parts
for a single assembly or subassembly provided in one container, box, et
cetera called, "Sets, Kits and Chests" (SKCs). In previously issued
Addenda for other Military customers, such items were simply referred
to as Pre-Expended Bin Stock (PEB Stock) or Bench Stock. At all three
(#) sites, the scope of work also will include supply chain management
of such other items commonly used in the maintenance, overhaul and
repair missions of MCLB Albany and MCLB Barstow, and in the logistics
support mission of BIC. This initiative includes the supply items
currently listed under the Federal Supply Classes (FSCs) set forth
below: 1005, 1010, 1015, 1240, 1290, 2090, 2510, 2520, 2530, 2540,

Announcement SP0500-97-BAA01, Amendment 2, Addendum 9, for United
States Marine Corps Logistics Bases, Albany, GA, Barstow, CA, and
Blount Island Command, FL. SCOPE The contractual vehicle in which DISC
proposes to use for this initiative is a firm fixed price or 23fixed
price with economic price adjustment Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC)
having a base period of two (2) years and three (3) one-year options to
extend the contract term. The maximum term of the contract will not
exceed five (5) years. Each contract year, whether in the base period
or an option year, will have a specific dollar amount guaranteed. To
the maximum extent practicable, the contract will be structured in
accordance with Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and
Part 212 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement
(DFARS). Specific modifications or revisions to the suggested
provisions of those regulations, referred to as tailoring, as well as
other provisions unique to government acquisition, will be implemented
by an appropriate Addendum. Interested parties are requested to submit
Concepts which propose innovative and efficient methods of providing
logistics support to the two (2) MCLBs at Albany, GA, and Barstow, CA
and Blount Island Command, FL. The term "innovative," means that the
methods of providing logistics support should include the means by
which the involvement of Marine Corps, DISC, DLA and DOD infrastructure
in the supply chain will be significantly reduced or eliminated. To
receive the most favorable evaluation,support to the two (2) MCLBs at
Albany, GA, and Barstow, CA and Blount Island Command, FL. The term
"innovative," means that the methods of providing logistics support
should include the means by which the involvement of Marine Corps,
DISC, DLA and DOD infrastructure in the supply chain will be
significantly reduced or eliminated. To receive the most favorable
evaluation, a Concept should cover the full breadth of Customer
Oriented Supply Chain Management (COSCM), providing as much detail as
possible. As a minimum, a Concept should include supply replenishment,
inventory control and supply maintenance, planning and forecasting,
engineering and technical services. The Concept must also include
evidence of the capability to respond to militar DISC intends to award
a contract to a single integrator for the logistics support of the two
(2) MCLBs and BIC unless a determination can be made that employing
more than one integrator can attain the overall purpose of this
Addendum to the BAA. Concepts that support all three sites are
preferred, however at a minimum, a concept must propose support to both
the Albany and Barstow MCLBs; a failure to do so may preclude
consideration for this initiative. Strategic alliances and partnering
arrangements among suppliers are encouraged. Concepts will be evaluated
on their breadth of innovative and efficient supply chain management
with respect to support of the spare parts and industrial hardware
requirements of the MCLBs at Albany GA, Barstow CA, and the Blount
Island Command, FL relating to their respective maintenance, overhaul
and repair and logistics support missions. In addition to providing for
the furnishing of the required supplies, the COSCM Concept must
demonstrate the elements of inventory control and supply maintenance,
planning and forecasting, engineering and technical services, as well
as surge and sustainment. The items of supply must conform to
specifications and standards, quality conformance and quality
certifications, identification to shelf-life requirements, and all
other requirements of the specific item descriptions for the specific
parts associated with maintenance, overhaul and repair of land vehicles
at the cited MCLBs and the logistics support mission of BIC. The COSCM
concept must include a process and a time by which a 100 percent
fill-rate will be achieved. A "100 percent fill-rate" means that a
specific, needed, part, set, kit, chest, etc., is available for use
when the Marine Corps mechanic or artisan attempts to retrieve it to
accomplish his or her mission. The scope of the contract will include
a requirement that the Contractor supply related items that have not
been identified as LSS, PEB/BS, or SKCs at the date of contract, but
which are required by the MCLBs or BIC to accomplish their respective
missions. DESCRIPTION OF CUSTOMER ACTIVITIES The following provides
information concerning current operations at the two MCLB sites and
BIC. Those who will submit Concepts should review the information only
as a baseline conditions from which to formulate innovative, more
efficient, and less costly logistics solutions in support of each site.
Site visits are tentatively scheduled for all three (3) locations.
While attendance at the site visits is not mandatory, those who intend
to submit Concepts should attend in order to obtain a clearer picture
as to the physical layout of each site, maximum information concerning
each Activity, and any clarification or other information regarding the
support requirements or expectations of each customer. Each site will
provide a map of its facility. Specific information regarding the site
visits will be provided at a later date. A. MISSIONS MCLBs ALBANY &
BARSTOWPersonnel repair and/or rebuild all Marine Corps ground
equipment. This includes all wheeled and tracked vehicles, and their
various components. These two logistics bases provide an industrial
core that is essential to mobilization of Marine Forces. Both bases
perform the full spectrum of logistics support functions required to
support the entire life cycle of the Marine Corps Weapons Systems and
Equipment.BLOUNT ISLAND COMMANDEstablished under the Maritime
Prepositioning Forces Program, it is a sealift, storage and maintenance
facility. It provides logistics support for thirteen (13) Maritime
Prepositioning Ships (MPS) which are divided into (3) squadrons. These
ships are strategically located around the world to provide a force
development capability of U.S. Marine Corps equipment and supplies in
the event of war or other contingency. This Command prepares equipment
for each MPS Squadron and for the sustainment of a Marine
Expeditionary Brigade in combat for a period of thirty (30) days. B.

the criteria set forth in this BAA. In addition to submission of
proposals for the furnishing of supplies, interested parties should
propose concepts that provide innovative, efficient and complete supply
chain management for the requirements of MCLB Albany GA, MCLB Barstow
CA and BIC, FL. Concept Papers should describe in detail the manner in
which supply chain management will be provided regarding the
furnishing of supplies, advance planning and forecasting, the
maintenance of a supply and inventory control system, the maintenance
of a quality system, including vendor qualification processes,
procedures and audits, provision of engineering and technical services,
the ability to address surge and sustainment requirements, and any
other elements of supply chain management not mentioned. The Concept
should include the innovation and efficiencies of supply chain
management currently being employed in the commercial market place, and
should reflect how those processes will be designed to replace, or be
adapted to, the current supply chain management process in place at the
MCLBs and BIC. The following evaluation criteria will be employed to
determine the technical merit of each Concept Paper submitted. The
criteria are listed in a descending ordering of importance: Interested
parties should propose Concept Papers which explain how they will
provide innovative and efficient supply chain management. These Concept
Papers should describe how support will be provided in the following
categories: Inventory control, forecasting, and a provision for
anticipated services such as engineering, technical, and configuration
control of land vehicle spare parts to the above listed bases. The
Concept Papers will be evaluated for their ability to provide the
innovative type of supply management currently being employed in
support of comparable activities in the commercial sector. Concept
Papers will be evaluated against the following evaluation criteria to
determine their merit. The criteria are shown here in descending order
of importance (see Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) SP0-500-97-BAA01
