MH-60 Performance Based Supply Chain Management
Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will issue solicitation number SPE4AX-18-R-MH60 in reference to the MH-60 Performance Based Supply Chain Management holistic project. SPE4AX-18-R-MH60 is expected to be issued via a letter solicitation to Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation (SAC) to add approximately 396 NSNs to the existing SAC long term contract (LTC) as a separate performance-based support subsumable contract with metrics and incentives/disincentives tied to achieving improved customer outcomes.
This population of items meets the definition of bundling at FAR 2.101, and it is likely unsuitable for award to a small business due to the diversity, size, or specialized nature of the elements of the performance specified.
DLA has determined that measurably substantial benefits are expected to be derived as a result of the bundling as defined at FAR 7.107. The expected benefits of this bundling action are listed in FAR 7.107-3 and summarized below:
(1) Cost savings
(2) Price reduction
(3) Quality improvements that will save time or improve or enhance performance or efficiency
(4) Reduction in acquisition cycle times
(5) Better terms and conditions
(6) Anticipated financial benefits equivalent to five (5) percent of the estimated contract or order value (including options)
It is the Government's intent to use a letter solicitation format to SAC; therefore, if any non-OEM source is interested in this requirement, please notify the Contracting Officer prior to the synopsis closing date and submit a complete response on how the offeror would provide holistic support for this population of NSNs to support the H-60 including a complete response to the Government Sources Sought. A copy of the letter of interest should be forwarded to the contracting officer identified herein and SBA PCR (michael.massello@sba.gov). ; The Government may alter the acquisition strategy if sufficient information is received on how another offeror can provide holistic support for this population of items to provide the desired customer outcomes.
