- Description
- Background: The USMC CREW program office has procured 10,089 CREW systems. CREW systems are high power, modular, programmable, multiband radio frequency jammers designed to deny enemy use of selected portions of the radio frequency spectrum. The USMC CREW systems, Hunter and Chameleon, are proprietary NDI systems. The USMC CREW systems have been fielded in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM (OIF), Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF), and as part of the USMC Maritime Expeditionary Units (MEU's). Purpose: The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit interest in the conduct of Performance Based Logistics (PBL) for the USMC CREW Program. Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is looking for potential sources to perform the role of Product Support Integrator (PSI) for USMC CREW systems. In Accordance With (IAW) MCO 4000.57 and DOD 5000.1, PBL is the preferred support strategy for materiel systems. A PSI is an entity (i.e., individual, organization - public or private sector) charged with integrating all public and private support sources, defined within the scope of Performance Based Agreements (PBA), to achieve the documented performance outcomes. The Marine Corps will implement the PSI approach for fielded USMC CREW systems in order to provide the war fighter increased operational readiness; increased reliability; enhanced logistics response times; enhanced deployment support; enhanced wartime support; reduction in the logistics footprint, ! and reduction in logistics costs. The selected PSI will be responsible for all or portions of the system supportability and logistics support, which could include, but is not limited to, system installation, supply chain management (spares support), field and sustainment level maintenance (scheduled and unscheduled), warranty tracking, data management, and operator and maintenance training. Logistics support requirements are in CONUS and OCONUS locations. Field Service Representative support and presence at OCONUS US CENTRAL COMMAND (CENTCOM) Area of Operation (AOR) is required. System support processes will be transparent to the war fighter. Intent: Length/Type of Contract: Contract is expected to be a Firm Fixed Price Performance Fee Contract for up to six (6) years. Goals: Desired Results and Outcomes: Expected performance results from the PSI for the USMC CREW systems is achievement of efficiencies that reduce the logistics footprint; reduce logistics delay time, and reduce maintenance cost. Ultimately the goal is the reduction of Operations and Sustainment (O&S) costs to the Marine Corps and increase mission availability. Measurements: Level of performance shall be expressed in measurable outcomes and achievement of those outcomes by objective evaluation. SURVEY QUESTIONAIRE FOR THE USMC CREW PRODUCT SUPPORT INTEGRATOR (PSI) FOR USMC CREW SYSTEMS The following will not be shared outside of the USMC CREW program office. Name of Company: Address: City, State, Zip Code: Point of Contact (POC) information: Name: Telephone Number: Email Address: Website Address: What is the business of your company; i.e. large business, small business, 8 (a), etc. 1.

If so, on which systems and what was the extent of the support provided? 3. If you have performed under a PBL contract in the past, what are some of the best practices you have used to be successful? 4. What would be your plan for managing the supply chain (parts support) for field (intermediate) and sustainment (depot) level maintenance? 5. What potential constraints and boundaries do you anticipate within the responsibilities of managing a PBL support contract? 6. How do you propose the government should measure the specific areas of performance metrics related to reducing the logistics footprint, reducing maintenance/repair times, increasing mission availability and reducing total logistics delay time? What recommendations can your organization provide? 7. What would be your plan for reducing maintenance/repair times for scheduled and unscheduled sustainment level maintenance?8. Provide any other data deemed appropriate. The Technical Point Of Contact (TPOC) for this effort is Donald A. Kelley, telephone (703) 432-3177, or email at: Donald.Kelley@usmc.mil.
