SCOPE Any interested parties should propose a method to provide innovative and efficient supply chain management for aircraft, and other weapon system, spare parts to the eight (8) military bases, to include: inventory control, forecasting and engineering and technical services. The resultant contract will have a base period of two (2) years with three (3) one-year option periods, for a maximum of five (5) years. The projected outcomes of this initiative are to achieve a reduction in total logistics costs and a reduction in the time required to accomplish the customer's overhaul, maintenance and repair missions as well as reliable direct industry surge and sustainment capability. The concepts will be evaluated for their ability to provide the innovative type of Supply Chain Management currently being employed in support of maintenance activities for the Commercial Airline, and other, Industries. In addition to providing the required supplies, the Supply Chain Management concept must demonstrate the ability to forecast and provide anticipatory services (i.e., kitting capability, engineering and technical services). The items required under the subject contract will be specific parts associated with aircraft, aircraft engine and other weapon system maintenance, repair, and overhaul performed at military bases. Those items must conform to drawing, specification and standard requirements, Quality Assurance requirements, and identification and shelf life requirements as defined by the item description for each item. The customer's goal is for the contractor to provide a system and process that will assure a 100% availability rate for required parts. The vendor may also be required to supply related items that have not been previously defined as "bench stock"on an as needed basis, based on customer request for support. NOTE: The following "Description of Activities" area details information about the current operations. Prospective vendors should review this information as baseline conditions from which to formulate improved logistical solutions. Vendors should determine the most efficient solution possible to enable the customers to perform their missions. 2. DESCRIPTION OF ACTIVITIES A. Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan The customer requires the contractor to be responsible for managing those bench stock areas at Kadena identified herein: there are fifty-five (55) weapon systems to include, F-15C, C-141B, C-017A, C-130A, HH-60G, C-135A, C-135E, E-003B, F-16A, F-4C, C-135H, C-135R, C-130N, C-130P, C-130E, GRC171A, GRT121, GRN030, GRN031, GRC211, RT1446, GPA131, GPN022, GPA124, GPN020, TPX042, TMQ037, WSR088D, GMQ020, 6202406, 1429291, 5162017, 3492525, M32A60A, M32A86D, MD3, MEP116A, E35U3, NF2, MA1A, M32C5, 230TESTSTD, M89, MC2AD, MC1AC, MC2A, 1H1, GFU7E, OJ314, GTH3TELEANL, L133, L143, L149, L151, L275 with one hundred sixteen (116) locations in sixty three (63) buildings. B. United States Marine Corps, Okinawa, Japan -- will include all types of weapons systems as well as communication, engineer and motor transport equipment. The Marines also do the maintenance for the M16A1 and 9mm for the Army at Torii Station. Each of the following bases will involve one, at the most two, buildings. Camp Kinser -- three (3) Intermediate Maintenance Activities (IMA) Camp Foster -- two (2) IMAs Camp Hansen -- two (2) IMAs Camp Schwab -- one (1) IMA C. First Marine Air Wing Futenma, Okinawa, Japan -- weapon systems KC-130F/R, CH-53E, UH-1N, AH- 1W, CH-46E with eighteen (18) locations in thirteen (13) buildings. Iwakuni, (Mainland) Japan -- weapon systems F/A18/C/N/D, EA6B, AV8B/N with nineteen (19) locations in twelve (12) buildings. Kaneohe, Hawaii -- weapon system CH53D with nine (9) locations in five (5) buildings. Note: The Government intends to make one award for all three (3) customer groups if, after evaluation, this represents the most prudent business decision. However, due to the fact that two different customer segments are represented in this acquisition, the Government reserves the right to make more than one award. Concepts should address the most feasible solution. 3.
