- Description
- The purpose of this notice is to extend the registration closing date from March 2, 2006, 2:00 P.M. to March 7, 2006 C.O.B. THIS IS NOT A SOLICITATION NOTICE. In accordance with the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) statute, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will host a Tire Privatization Industry Day on Thursday, March 9, 2006, at the Defense Supply Center, Columbus (DSCC), Columbus, OH. The purpose of this Industry Day is to discuss establishing a Performance Based Logistics (PBL) approach for the supply chain management of tires for the Department of Defense. Under the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 1990, 10 U.S.C. 2687 note, the BRAC Commission?s recommendation to privatize the supply, storage and distribution for tires (Federal Supply Classes 2610, 2620, and 2630) became law on November 8, 2005. This recommendation is intended to create a more responsive supply support to user organizations and deployment, and the sustainment of forces when deployed worldwide. Privatization enables the Department to take advantage of the latest technologies, expertise, and business practices, which translate into improved support to customers at less cost. This recommendation disestablishes the wholesale supply, storage, and distribution functions for all tires used by the Department of Defense, retaining only the supply contracting function. The Department will privatize these functions and will rely on private industry for the performance of supply, storage, and distribution of these commodities. By doing so, the Department can divest itself of inventories and can eliminate infrastructure and personnel associated with these functions. This Industry Day is for informational purposes only. The Government will present several briefings to broadly address BRAC requirements, the Army and Air Force Tire programs, Distribution, Disposal and the acquisition strategy for the privatization of tires. DLA is interested in receiving industry comments, recommendations, and ideas regarding this initiative. The agenda will include a time for questions and answers as well as informal discussions. Written comments will also be accepted. Final registration is due by Thursday, March 2, 2006, 2:00 PM EST. To register, please send an email to Kathy Manley (614)692-2258, at DSCC.Tires@dla.mil with your company name and address, CAGE code, names of attendees, and a primary point of contact to include telephone number and e-mail address. A return email will confirm your registration. Schedule: 9:00 AM ? 3:00 PM, Thursday, March 9, 2006
