NEW ONLINE ACCESS TO THE AIR FORCE'S REQUIREMENT PROJECTIONS FOR SPARE PARTS Headquarters Air Force Materiel Command, Logistics Contracting Division, 4375 Chidlaw Road, Suite 6, Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio, 45433-5006. (937) 257-8152. Attention: William Foran, e-mail: foranb@wpgate1.wpafb.af.mil. Headquarters Air Force Materiel Command announces new online access to the Air Force's requirements projections for spare parts. Requirements Projection On the Web (RPOW) is a list of Air Force (AF) projected competitive and non-competitive spares buy requirements for a period of 3 fiscal years. RPOW is the forerunner to replace the current Air Logistic Center Planned Hardware Acquisition Listing (APHAL). The objective is to make it easier for private industry and Government personnel to gain insight into future Air Force buys. The website is constructed so that visitors may filter requirements projections to obtain the specific information they need. Large and small businesses can use RPOW as a means of reviewing the AF's current and future requirements and use that information to identify possible contract opportunities. For small businesses, the website is easily accessible through the Small Business Homepages. The RPOW data also allows Government personnel to analyze future requirements for applications of efficient contracting and acquisition reform. RPOW does not contain firm requirements. The projections in RPOW may or may not generate a buy requirement due to budgetary constraints, etc. The forecast data is for planning purposes only and does not constitute an invitation for bid or a request for proposal. It is not a commitment by the Government to purchase the described items. This website is the result of joint efforts by the Acquisition Pipeline Inventory Reduction (APIR)/Sustainment Process Improvement Reform Implementation Team (SPIRIT).
