A comprehensive and holistic performance based supply chain management program in support of the AH-64 and CH-47 aircraft parts.   2

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Philadelphia will solicit a nine (9) (5 year priced base period and a 4 year unpriced option period) year Firm Fixed Price Incentive Fee proposal for the acquisition of a comprehensive and holistic performance based supply chain management program in support of the AH-64 and CH-47 aircraft parts. The anticipated contract will be awarded against the Boeing Captains of Industry (BCOI) contract, SPRPA1-14-D-002U. The BCOI contract is strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for the direct material support. The BCOI contract has a performance period of five (5) year base period with one five (5) year option to extend the contract for a total performance period of ten years.

For this effort, the Government intends to solicit and negotiate with Boeing Company, Cage Code 0PXV4, located in Saint Louis, MO, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1. The contractor will be required to provide consumables for the AH-64 and the CH-47 repair and depot overhaul activities; however, actual repair of depot level items is not included in this requirement. The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies to the Government within the specified time windows.

Under the BCOI contract the contractor will provide following: logistics management, which includes wholesale supply support, depot-level consumable support, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage, reliability improvements, and field engineering support.

For the direct material support, the contractor will be required to meet supply chain performance based on metrics for material availability and order response time to approximately 1,539 NSNs. The performance metrics will be based on the level of demand for the individual NSN.

The engineering support provided will be for the AH-64 and CH-47 aircraft, airframe, systems, components, and accessories. Tasks include requests for Boeing repair and design engineering expertise as it applies to the depot maintenance and repair initiatives for items designed and/or distributed by Boeing.

Performance Based functions will include: demand forecasting; inventory management; warehousing; supply chain engineering support; training; material support and availability; process improvements; and field service representative. Flexibility to add more items is necessary as requirements dictate.

Due to the age of the weapon systems, drawings are no longer be up-to-date; tooling may no longer be available or un-useable; materials may be obsolete and the vendor base may have diminished since the parts were last purchased. DLA lacks sufficient technical data to compete this requirement effectively and Boeing possesses the technical capability and the data to produce these items. The contract is planned as a Firm Fixed Price Incentive Fee action against the BCOI contract, which is strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for procurement of a wide range of supplies.
Many of the items that will be included in this contract are currently procured under the Army contract W58RGZ-15-D-0060.
