DLA seeks to execute a comprehensive and holistic performance based supply chain management program to support the V-22 platform. The support is broken down into two areas: direct aviation platform material support and spare parts/material support used in the repair of aviation airframes and components at fleet sites and DoD authorized repair depots.� For the direct material support, the contractor will be required to fill DoD and FMS customer requisitions for approximately 4,314 National Stock Numbers (NSNs). The NSNs are comprised of consumable spares and those consumables required to support Organizational, Intermediate and Depot level maintenance.� � The contractor will be required to meet supply chain performance based metrics for material availability for approximately 4,314 NSNs for this phase. The contractor is expected to make recommendations for Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). Additionally, the contractor will be required to aggregate all material requirements, i.e. production, repair, allowances, in order to leverage the best value for material support. The contractor will be paid based on the aggregate demands or other appropriate measurements of usage of the platform. The items that will be included in this contract are currently procured under various contracts with the DLA. �The contract will also include necessary support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The anticipated Contract will be strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for procurement of a wide range of supplies and Depot support.� The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies to Government wholesale and retail supply points both CONUS and OCONUS within specified time windows. The contractor will be required to provide consumable material support used in repair of Organizational, Intermediate and Depot Level maintenance. �Performance will include a five year base period with one five year option to extend the contract for a total performance period of ten years. The Bell Boeing Joint Project Office is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of these items with design control, authorization, and documentation to manufacture.
