Data Bases: On the World Wide Web, at HYPERLINK, http:// www.disc.dla.mil under Broad Agency Announcement. See BAA01, Amendment No. 2, Addendum No. 7. 1. DISC provided database of ANAD's historical demand/usage for the past twenty-four (24) months for DLA-managed items. B. Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) SPO500-97-BAA01, Amendment 2, Addendum 7, Parts Supplier/Parts Integrator C. Proposer Information Packet (PIP), Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) SPO500-97-BAA01, Amendment 2, Addendum 7, for Anniston Army Depot, Anniston, Al. SCOPE The contract type, which DISC proposes to use for this initiative, is a firm fixed price or fixed price with economic price adjustment Indefinite Quantity Contract (IQC) having a base period of two (2) years and three (3) one-year options to extend the contract term. The maximum term of the contract will not exceed five (5) years. Each contract year, whether in the base period or an option year, will have a specific dollar amount guaranteed. To the maximum extent practicable, the contract will be structured in accordance with Part 12 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Part 212 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). Specific modifications or revisions to the suggested provisions of those regulations, referred to as tailoring, as well as other provisions unique to Government acquisition, will be implemented by an appropriate Addendum. In the initial stage of the prospective contract, the scope of work will encompass only the logistical support for ANAD at Anniston, AL with respect to its requirements for spare parts and industrial hardware stored at or near the point of use in its maintenance, overhaul and repair mission (bench stock requirements). However, also included in scope of this endeavor is the potential broadening of the logistical support to the U. S. Army as follow: a. Expansion of logistical support to encompass those items, which are currently, stored in intermediate retail storage facilities at ANAD. If and when the logistical support thus expanded, delivery of those items will be required either to the intermediate storage facility or directed to the maintenance shop floor, as directed by ANAD through a requisitioning or order process. b. Expansion of logistical support to the four (4) additional U. S. Army sites at Red River Army Depot, Tobyhanna Army Depot, Letterkenny Army Depot and Corpus Christi Army Depot. Interested parties are requested to submit Concepts, which propose innovative and efficient methods of providing logistics, support to ANAD at Anniston, AL with respect to its bench stock requirements as defined herein. With respect to bench stock requirements, the term, "innovative," means that the methods of providing logistics support should include the means by which the involvement of Anniston Army Depot, DISC, DLA and DOD personnel and infrastructure in the supply chain management of ANAD's requirements will be significantly reduced or eliminated. Concepts should also address the manner, extent and capability of response to the expansion of logistical support required under the contract as set forth in the preceding paragraph. To receive the most favorable evaluation against the criteria set forth in this BAA, a Concept should cover the full breadth of Customer Oriented Supply Chain Management (COSCM), providing as much detail as possible. As a minimum, a Concept should include supply replenishment, inventory control and supply maintenance, planning and forecasting, engineering and technical services. Concepts must also include evidence of the capability to respond to spikes military readiness requirements and supply surge situations. If it is determined at a later date to expand to the intermediate storage facilities and/or additional sites, an amendment to this Addendum will be issued detailing all pertinent information. In the event, such amendment is issued, the government will request a revised concept paper to address the increase in scope. DISC intends to award a contract to a single integrator for the logistics support of ANAD with respect to its bench stock requirements and its intermediate retail inventory facilities, as well as the additional U. S. Army sites named above, unless a determination can be made that employing more than one integrator will attain the overall purpose of this Addendum to the BAA. Strategic alliances and partnering arrangements among suppliers are encouraged. Concepts will be evaluated on their breadth of innovative and efficient supply chain management with respect to the support of the spare parts and industrial hardware requirements of ANAD relating to their respective maintenance, overhauland repair and logistics support missions. In addition to providing for the furnishing of the required supplies, the COSCM Concept must demonstrate the elements of inventory control and supply maintenance, planning and forecasting, engineering and technical services, as well as surge and sustainment. The items of supply must conform to specifications and standards, quality conformance and quality certifications, identification of shelf-life requirements, and all other requirements of the specific item descriptions for the specific parts associated with maintenance, overhaul and repair of ground vehicles at ANAD. The COSCM Concept must include a process and a time by which a 100 percent fill-rate will be achieved. A "100 percent fill-rate" means that a specific, needed, part, set, kit, chest, etc., is available for use when the ANAD mechanic or artisan attempts to retrieve it to accomplish his or her mission. The scope of the prospective contract will also include provisions for the furnishing by the Contractor of spare parts and industrial hardware that have not been identified as bench stock or intermediate inventory at the date of contract at ANAD or any of the additional U. S. Army sites. DESCRIPTION OF CUSTOMER ACTIVITIES The following provides information concerning current operations at ANAD and the other four (4) depots.
