The information provided in response to this SSS is for discussion purposes and any potential strategy that may be developed from these discussions would be the subject of a separate, future announcement. The information received in response to this SSS may be utilized by the Government in developing an acquisition strategy, and requirements documents (i.e.; Statement of Objectives, Performance Work Statement (PWS), or Purchase Description). A DRAFT PWS has been attached to this SSS. The Air Force requires that only non-proprietary information be submitted in response to this SSS. The Air Force shall not be liable for or suffer any consequential damages for the use of any proprietary information submitted. The planned service acquisition is for five years; a one-year basic ordering period and four, one-year priced option periods for the aforementioned contract for services for the Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC). Please see the attached DRAFT PWS for specific contractor requirements. The Government requests interested parties to provide insight/recommendations regarding the attached PWS.

This effort is to provide Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material shortages (DMSMS) support for all Air Force (AF) users located at Hill AFB, Tinker AFB, and Robins AFB hereafter to be called Air Force Sustainment Center (AFSC) to proactively reduce mission capability impacts. This effort also supports users outside the AFSC. The AF must continue to proactively improve logistics support and system sustainability. The AF users must be able to status parts across multiple weapon system platforms which require linking of the data in order to run necessary queries and reports from a single access point. This effort will help assure all required parts and materials to support AFSC managed weapon systems are available within acceptable production lead times. In addition, the effort will reduce the overall cost of ownership of the weapon systems by, (1) facilitating economical DMSMS resolution costs, (2) reducing the number of reactive solutions, (3) minimizing any delays in organic depot-level repair as well as Contractor repair, and (4) improving system availability.
