About this file
This document is a Request for Information (RFI) from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Federal Acquisition Service seeking information from contractors on their ability to provide global supply logistics operations support solutions in the United States Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) region of Japan.
The key details are:
- The purpose is to support overseas customers with a more expeditious solution to supply items, with a target delivery standard of 3 business days.
- The potential services include purchasing and delivering consumer products from manufacturers/distributors in Japan and other TAA-compliant countries, certification for hazardous materials, booking/arranging onward transportation, responding to government discrepancies, and interfacing with GSA order processing systems.
- GSA is seeking feedback on this scope, ramp-up requirements, potential barriers, warehousing needs, compliance with customs/MARAD/AbilityOne/Berry Amendment requirements, and the ability to support surge requirements during contingency operations.
- GSA is also interested in feedback on alternate product sources for specific item groups with robust local supply.
