THIS IS ADDENDUM #3 TO BOARD AGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT (BAA) SP050097-BAA01 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 Warner Robins -- Air Logistics Center (WR-ALC) Robins, Georgia, in support of their indirect supply items currently issued to WR-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. These items consist mainly of fasteners, gaskets, and seals along with various other aircraft spare parts primarily found under Federal Supply Codes (FSC) 1610,1620, 1630, 1650, 1660, 1670, 1680, 2835, 2915, 3010, 3020, 3040, 3110, 3120, 3439, 3455, 3460, 3694, 4010, 4020, 4030, 4140, 4210, 4240, 4330, 4440, 4510, 4710, 4720, 4730, 4820, 4920, 4930, 4940, 5120, 5130, 5305, 5306, 5307, 5310, 5315, 5320, 5325, 5330, 5340, 5345, 5350, 5355, 5360, 5365, 5670, 5680, 5905, 5920, 5925, 5935, 5940, 5945, 5961, 5970, 5975, 5977, 5985, 5995, 5999, 6110, 6135, 6140, 6145, 6150, 6210, 6220, 6230, 6240, 6340, 6515, 6625, 6635, 6640, 6670, 6680, 7220, 7230, 7240, 7340, 7510, 7910, 7920, 8020, 8030, 8105, 8305, 8315, 9310, 9320, 9330, 9390, 9505, 9515, 9525, 9535, 9540, 9905. 1. SCOPE Any interested parties should propose a method to provide efficient supply chain management and inventory control of aircraft spare parts to WR-ALC. The contract will have a two (2) year base period, with eight (8) one-year option periods, to a maximum of ten (10) 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 henceforth 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 managing bench stock areas at WR-ALC. There are three weapon systems [F15, C130, C141] and an accessory shop (TI). 3. EVALUATION CRITERIA The following factors will be evaluated for their Technical Merit and are shown in descending order of importance: A. Customer Oriented Supply Chain Management Concept 1. Inventory Control and Distribution Plans 2. Quality Plan B. Industrial Readiness Support Concept C. Past Performance/Corporate Experience D. Management Plan E. Support of the Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business and Women-Owned Business Programs F. DLA Mentoring Business Agreement (MBA) Program 4.
