Description

DESCRIPTION: The Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support – Richmond (DLA WS RIC) issues this Sources Sought for a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) in coordination with the transition of the management of the F135 Propulsion System Sustainment from the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) to DLA. The potential contract is anticipated to have a five-year base and a five-year option (10-year total period of performance). The potential contract is anticipated to be a comprehensive sole-source requirements-type contract with ancillary services, issued as a basic contract for holistic F135 Engine support under the terms and conditions of basic agreement SPE4AX-22-D-0001. It will include both consumable and depot-level repairable (DLR) spare parts, as well as ancillary services such as programmatic supply chain forecasting and management. The current potential material population for programmatic support currently consists of approximately ~435 DLA-managed common NIINs and approximately ~3,500 non-NSN engine components identified as sole source to the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for material support. The remaining ~435 items (see attachment) will not be designated as sole source for material support and will likely remain supported through normal routine DLA supply chain channels on independent acquisitions and are only included in this project for the purpose of holistic forecast management. All items will be evaluated on a line-by-line basis. Items identified for competitive sourcing will be removed from the final award population. Additional items may be added in the future in which case amendment(s) may be made to the sources sought notice.
