- Description
- Request for Information The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) / Defense Supply Center Richmond (DSCR) is exploring an effort to implement an Integrated Logistics Partnership (ILP) Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract that increases supportability of the KC-135 Flight Control Overhaul Program (KC-135 Overhaul) at OC-ALC, Oklahoma City Air Logistics Center, Tinker Air Force Base. This ILP establishes a contractual partnership for parts and services with a third party, private sector supplier of goods and services, hereafter known as the “ILP Contractor” and the government. The ILP Contractor will be responsible for providing spare parts and services for the KC-135 Flight Control Overhaul Program to OC-ALC on a daily basis while being co-located with OC-ALC. The ILP Contractor will coordinate and synchronize logistics and production processes to provide a predictable and reliable supply of items to meet normal, increased, and contingency (surge and sustainment) maintenance requirements. Sources are sought for a potential, initial 5 year program (single award) that will provide third party support for the KC-135 Flight Control Overhaul Program at Tinker Air Force Base. The prospective ILP Contractor will act as the single point of contact for all KC-135 Flight Control Overhaul Program parts. Outcomes will lead to increased operational availability, improved operational reliability, reduced logistics response time, and reduced cost per overhaul. An estimated 2500-2800 NSNs may be covered under this initiative with the possibility for additional NSNs after contract award. An initial list of NSNs is available at the website listed below under ILP KC-135 NSNs. However, items to be included in this effort may not be limited to those identified in this notice.
