This is only an e stimate and will not bind the contractor or the Government in any way or at any time into a contract with any of the specified terms below.This is not a Request for Proposal (RFP) or an Invitation for Bid (IFB), nor is it to be construed as a commitment by the government. Responses to this notice are not offers and cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.The intent of this market survey is to identify market interest, potential sources of supply for full implementation of PBL support ,and solicit recommendation as to how best perform the sustainment of the identified materiel. This market survey is intended to provide a forum to identify opportunities to decrease sustainment costs, improve sustainment efficiency, and increase sustainme nt readiness for all customers. The intent is for the source of supply to provision, stock, store and ship ready for issue equipment directly to users upon demand while meeting and maintaining performance requirements in accordance with the terms of the co ntract and government approved technical data and technical manuals. The PBL contractor will be responsible for determining requirements to support demand forecasts. The PBL contractor will utilize best commercial and/or business practices while teaming wi th the Government and implement a program that is transparent to all customers. Information gathered through this market survey could be used to aid in the definition and refinement of requirements for the secondary item supply support for the night vision goggles, AN/PVS-7D, AN/PVS-14 and AN/AVS-6. Potential uses for the information received may include development of requirements packages and possible future solicitations. Additionally, the Government seeks input on the data required to effectively esti mate demand forecast, cost, and performance measurements.The PBL arrangement will have a supply support sustainment focus, and will make the supplier accountable through a series of performance metrics. Performance metrics will measure the effectiveness an d efficiency of the supply chain. The metrics requirements will be incorporated into the contract and offer increased challenges over the contract period. The supplier will be responsible for their supply chain management (to include forecasting, purchasin g, inventory, and transportation). In addition, we need to define supplier capability to interface with Army inventory management systems in order for the supplier to receive and process requisitions and maintain a requisition status tracking and reporting system.This will be a 10 year effort. The PBL contract may be awarded by individual system or multiple combinations thereof and will contain cash incentive clauses based on performance metrics. The Government will maintain ownership of wholesale and retai l inventory. The PBL contractor shall be accountable for the storage and management of the wholesale inventory using the Contractors inventory management processes. The supply support arrangement will involve sustainment for approximately 500,000 at CONUS and OCONUS locations.It is crucial that any interested sources identify their interest and capability to respond to this requirement, by responding to this survey. Any interested sources must send the following information, NLT 27 July 2007, to C-E LCMC I EW/S Directorate, ATTN: AMSEL-LC-IEW-N-II (Susan F. Weir), Bldg. 1201, Ft.
