- Description
- The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Distribution is issuing this Sources Sought Announcement for planning purposes only. DLA Distribution is planning to establish a transshipment support capability in Salalah Oman in support of the fleet. The purpose of this Source Sought (SS) is to determine if there are commercial sources capable of providing, maintaining and operating a Contractor-Owned/Contractor Operated (COCO) Material Processing Centers (MPC) operation at the Port of Salalah in Oman. DLA's Warehouse Management System: Distribution Standard System (DSS) would be used for all Storage and MPC contract functions. Background: The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and DLA Distribution have a requirement to continue operations of the established MPC with transshipment capabilities to enhanced physical distribution services to the Armed Forces located in the US Central Command Area of Responsibility (AOR). The distribution facilities are strategically positioned in Salalah, Oman to reduce potential transportation impasses and customer wait time. The operations shall continue to provide distribution services and surge capability to NAVCENT components in support of the warfighter operating in the AOR. Concept of Operations: Operations will consist of a standalone MPC in a COCO on the Port of Salalah in Oman. The MPC will provide transshipment (delivery to the ships and freight forwarding after the United States Navy (hereafter Navy) vessel departs) and short term storage functions for visiting Navy vessels in the AOR. Coordination of material to be delivered to the Navy vessels will be handled between the assigned Navy Logistics Support Officer (LSO) and the Contractor. Cargo routing instructions will provide notifications to sources of supply to ship material to the Aerial Port of Debarkation (APOD) or Surface Port of Debarkation (SPOD) in Oman in time for the Navy vessel's arrival. Cargo will arrive approximately two weeks prior to the Navy vessel reaching port. Material will arrive at the APOD or SPOD and be transported to the Contractor's MPC facility. The Contractor will receive, segregate and stage the material for portside delivery to Combat Logistics Force (CLF) ships IAW LSO instructions and guidance. Limited washback and retrograde material is expected, which the contractor shall prepare for shipment to forward destination or return to the source of supply based on LSO instructions/guidance. In the event that material is received after the Navy vessel has left the port the contractor shall prepare for shipment and forward the material to the appropriate location for delivery to the ship IAW the Cargo Routing Information File (CRIF). The contractor shall designate space for a HAZWASTE Collection Point in the event it becomes a requirement. The Contractor shall provide the facility, IT infrastructure, outdoor storage with improved surface, and all required Material Handling Equipment (MHE). The Contractor shall maintain a fence line around the Contractor's facility with 24/7 Intrusion Detection System (IDS) and capability to respond within the required time frame if alarms are activated. The contractor shall maintain the facilities security to the requirements level of a controlled facility IAW the physical security manual. The entire fenced in area will be called the DLA Distribution Detachment Oman operating as a detachment of DLA Distribution Bahrain, Southwest Asia.
