- Description
- The U.S. Army Contracting Command Europe (USACCE), Regional Contracting Office Bavaria (RCO Bavaria), on behalf of the Special Operations Command Europe (SOCEUR), is looking for firms capable of providing a contractor-owned and operated warehouse facility for procuring, maintaining, and transporting supplies/equipment. The contractor shall be responsible for operating and maintaining this facility on the African continent that is centrally located between the following countries: Mali, Niger, or Nigeria. The preferred location for these contractor warehousing operations is Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, as this is the location of the Governments aircraft, the Short Take Off and Landing airfield, and is centrally located to the countries listed above. Even though a preferred location is given, the Government is not restricting other locations for the warehouse operations in this area. The requirement is to procure, store, inspect, transport, and deliver required items to satisfy user needs. The contractor will operate a storage facility for contingency supplies and equipment that is centrally located as described above. This facility should be collocated with an airport with access to the flight line. The contractor will operate a Veterinary Command (VETCOM) approved storage facility. This facility will be subject to inspection by VETCOM personnel in order to ensure compliance with applicable health and safety regulations. The contractor must be capable of transporting supplies and equipment within 24-48 hours to an airport so that they can be air-transported by the Government to undetermined locations within Africa. The contractor shall inspect and rotate Class I, III, and VIII supplies in order to ensure that expired supplies are replaced. The contractor must maintain maximum flexibility to adapt to changing requirements. The Government believes that the Contractor will be required to restock and replenish supplies/equipment at least two times a year. The period of performance is a base period beginning 1 October 2008 and 4 one-year option periods. The contract is for contingency operations. All interest firms should review the Special Notice (Solicitation Number: W912PB-08-SOO-AFRICA), which is a draft Statement of Objectives for the African Warehousing operations in which we are seeking sources. All interested and capable parties are requested to submit a statement of interest, a comprehensive description of their companys capabilities, and past performance information that shows experience in providing similar warehousing operations in Africa and/or a contingency environment. Please include specific competencies and a reference list of similar service contracts performed (include contract number, dollar value, description of services, and customer points of contact). This information will be used to determine the interest and availability of firms who can perform these services. All responses shall be submitted electronically to the RCO Bavaria point of contact, Mr William Hilliard, at william.a.hilliard1@eur.army.mil, by 15 August 2008. Telephone inquires will not be accepted. All questions are to be submitted via email to joanna.lovett-black@eur.army.mil and klaus.neumann@eur.army.mil. Interested firms are encouraged to review the draft Statement of Objectives for this requirement on FedBizOps for further information: https://www.fbo.gov/spg/USA/DABN/DABN09/W912PB-08-SOO-AFRICA/listing.html.
