AND REPLACES REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL SP0500-97-R-0027 The Defense
Industrial Supply Center (DISC), Philadelphia, is pursuing innovative
methods of providing Customer Oriented Supply Chain Management in
support of spare parts at various military centers, bases, camps and
posts. This BAA is for Oklahoma City -- Air Logistics Center (OC-ALC),
Tinker AFB, OK, in support of their indirect supply items currently
issued to OC-ALC personnel from bin stocks typically located at or near
the point of use (commonly referred to as "bench stock" or
"pre-expended bin stock"), which provides maintenance, repair and
overhaul functions in support of aviation weapons systems. The items to
be supplied consist mainly of fasteners, gaskets and seals, along with
various other aircraft spare parts primarily found under Federal
Supply Codes (FSC) 1560, 1620, 1650, 1660, 1670, 1680, 1730, 2840,
2915, 3020, 304O, 3110, 3120, 4010, 4020, 4030, 4140, 4240, 4320, 4330,
4720, 4730, 4810, 4820, 5305, 5306, 5307, 5310, 5315, 5320, 5325, 5330,
5340, 5350, 5355, 5360, 5365, 5905, 5906, 5910, 5920, 5925, 5930, 5935,
5940, 5945, 5950, 5961, 5970, 5975, 5980, 5985, 5990, 5995, 5999, 6110,

7350, 7510, 7530, 7920, 9330, 9390, 9505 & 9525. 1. SCOPE: Any
interested parties should propose a method to provide eff~icient supply
chain management and inventory control of aircraft spare parts to
OC-ALC. The contract will have a three (3) year base period, with a
series of one-year options, from one to a maximum of seven (7) years.
The goal of this initiative is threefold: (1) provide improved customer
service in terms of availability and timeliness of delivery for items
covered; (2) improve the inventory management process; and (3) achieve
an overall reduction in Government costs. The items required under the
subject contract will be specific parts associated with aircraft
maintenance, repair and overhaul. Those items needed to meet the
customer sites' day-to-day requirements will hereforth be referred to
as the customer's "bench stock". The customer's goal is for the
contractor to maintain bench stock, at each site, at a level that will
assure a 100% availability rate. Items may be required to be supplied
that have not been defined as "bench stock" on an as-needed basis
based on customer request for support. ~2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITY: It
is desired that the contractor be responsible for the managing of
bench stock areas at OC-ALC. There are four (4) weapon systems, KC-135,
E-3, B-52, and B1B, with six (6) locations where it is preferred the
contractor provide staff to manage inventory and distribute parts from
bench stock areas to OC-ALC employees. In addition, the contractor
will be expected to maintain the aircraft accessories area (LI) which
has four (4) locations and will not require a contractor to distribute
parts. It is anticipated that the implementation of the four weapon
systems would be activated in some form of phase-in process to minimize
transitional impact to the OC-ALC. The initial requirement is for the
KC-135 with three (3) locations and the Aircraft Accessories Area with
four (4) locations. 3. EVALUATION CRITERIA: The following factors will
be evaluated for their Technical Merit and are shown in descending
order of importance: 1. Customer Oriented Supply Chain Management
Concept: a. Inventory Control and Distribution Plans, b. Quality Plan;
2. Industrial Readiness Support Concept; 3. Management Plan; 4. Past
Performance/Experience; 5. Support of the Small Business, Small
Disadvantaged Business and Women-Owned Business Programs; 6. DLA
Mentoring Business Agreement (MBA) Program. 4. GENERAL INFORMATION: In
order to assist offerors in developing an effective CP a site visit
will be conducted at the OC-ALC on Wednesday, 19 February 1997. AIl
interested parties are invited to attend, but attendance is not
mandatory for consideration being given to any concept paper. The site
