RFP: SPE4A518R0237. Multiple NSNs for OEM Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. (97499), Sole Source Long Term Contract.
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation, Richmond proposes to issue a Letter Request for Proposal (RFP) to support DLA's Strategic Sourcing and Captains of Industry (COI) initiatives. This RFP is for a long-term strategic / sole source contract, which will include multiple NSNs to support various weapon systems / operational platforms. A total of 11 NSNs are targeted for this contract effort. It is anticipated that 11 NSNs will be priced for the contract award. OEM Bell Helicopter Textron Inc. (97499) is the approved source of supply for these items; therefore, the proposed action is intended to be awarded on a sole source basis to the OEM.
It is the Government's intent to use a letter solicitation format to the sole source Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM); therefore, if a non-OEM source is interested in any of the NSNs, please notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date. These items have been identified as sole source; however, some items may have history showing awards to other than the OEM. Surplus dealers are also invited to respond to this synopsis. The response should include a completed surplus certificate, DLA Procurement Note 04, Government Surplus Property Material or adequate traceability documentation to show that the product is acceptable. Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM should identify items of interest and include evidence of ability to supply long-term requirements. In addition, respondents should identify the quantity available and price. DLA will consider all such responses and may alter the acquisition strategy if purchase of existing surplus or newly-manufactured inventory is in the best interest of the government. Responses to this announcement from other than the OEM are required by Friday, December 29, 2017. A copy of the letter of interest should be forwarded to the contracting officer identified herein and SBA PCR (anne.mastrincola@dla.mil).
Additionally, letters expressing interest in subcontracting provided to the contracting officer will be forwarded to the identified Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM). This is proposed to be a FAR Part 12 effort. The attached 11 NSNs have been identified for the current procurement. If other NSNs are subsequently added, as defined by the terms of the contract, they will be synopsized separately. The Letter RFP issue date is Tuesday, January 02, 2018. The anticipated closing date is Thursday, January 18, 2018.
