- Description
- Purpose: The purpose of this survey is to solicit your interest, experience, current capabilities, and potential in performing the roles of Product Support Integrator/ Product Support Provider in support of a Family of Medium Tactical Vehicle (FMTV) Powertrain Supp ort Performance Based Logistics (PBL) Program. IAW AR 70-1 and DOD 5000.1, PBL is the preferred support strategy for materiel systems. The Army will implement PBL on weapon systems in order to provide the war fighter increased operational readiness, inc reased reliability, enhanced logistics response times, enhanced deployment support, enhanced wartime support, reduction in the logistics footprint, and reduction in logistics costs. Under this PBL contract, the contractor will be responsible for the management of the FMTV (A0, A1, A1R) powertrain (engine/transmission) to insure future supply and maintenance support. The support process is required to be transparent to the war fighter. Some considerations of the proposed PBL approach will include, but not be limited to the following: 1. Acknowledge initial feedback to customer request within 24hrs. Establishment of repair times. 2. Establishment of supply points and repair facilities in both CONUS/OCONUS. 3. Remove, replace, repair capability 4. Movement of vehicles/components from customer site to repair facility and back 5. This is not intended to manage configuration control of the power train. Configuration will still flow through the ECP process. 6. Maintain SA/Readiness levels of 90% e.g. repair floats used 7. Establishment of a funding/requisition process 8. Reporting/documentation of program accountability 9. Utilization of current Government assets in this CLS program 10. Reliability goals 11. Wartime vs. peacetime operations In addition further useful information from the contractor would include: 1. What additional resources would be required to support the PBL concept described? 2. What timeframe would be required to ramp-up resources needed to fully support the requirement? PBL Definition: See Appendix A for Definitions of PBL and other frequently used terminology. Intent: Length/Type of Contract: Contract is expected to be a Firm Fixed Price long-term contract. Length to be determined. Goal: Our goal is to structure a contract, which will incentivize the contractor to maximize system reliability, thereby reducing maintenance, spare parts and training requirements in the process. Desired Results and Outcomes: Operational readiness 90% or better. Enhanced Logistics response times. Enhanced deployment. Reduced Logistics Footprint, unscheduled maintenance, training burden, scheduled maintenance and maintenance times. Reduced Logistics costs. Proposed Measurements: Level of performance expressed in terms of measurable outcomes/how outcomes are to be measured and evaluated. Operational Readiness - Standard Army readiness reporting will be used to the maximum extent possible. Also, we will measure mission start and completion performance. (Vehicle starts and completes mission XX% of time) Logistics Response Time The period of time from when a failure/malfunction is detected and validated by the maintainer to the time the failure/malfunction has been resolved. This includes all related time to order, ship and deliver parts and perform mai ntenance. Reduced Logistics Footprint Measurable reduction in number of tools reqd (special and common). Measurable reduction in number of maintenance, repair and troubleshooting tasks. Measurable reduction of training required. Measurable increase in fuel economy. Any other reduction in the size or presence of logistics support required to deploy, sustain and move the Tactical Wheeled Vehicle fleet. Cost per Mile Total Operating Costs divided by the total number of miles driven. See Appendix B for Materiel System Description. PBL MARKET SURVEY QUESTIONAIRE 1. Name of Firm Address City, State, Zip Code Point of Contact Name Telephone Number Email Address Website Address 2. What would be your business approach to meeting these responsibilities for managing the FMTV powertrain support? 3. What potential constraints or boundaries do you see with one contractor having ultimate responsibility for managing the majority of logistics and configuration support under this component specific PBL arrangement? 4. Do you have any further suggestions, beyond those listed in the Proposed Measurements paragraph above, for measuring performance of the PBL, particularly supply support, reliability, training and maintenance 6. What would you recommend as the approach to supply chain management in support of the vehicle fleets? 7. How would you approach performance of sustainment maintenance and reduce vehicle maintenance, both scheduled and unscheduled? 8. Would you be willing to provide this type of support under a long-term contract? What length of contract would you need in order to make this a viable proposition? 9. What would you do differently in support of deployment contingency (wartime vs peacetime) operations?
