Good morning, everyone.

The purpose of this site visit is to provide you with a visual overview of the areas utilized by our Logistics Support Services contract. These facilities will support all the PWS elements listed in the solicitation. As previously mentioned, no questions will be answered throughout the duration of this tour. Please submit all your questions in writing to the Contracting Officer, Max Ledesma.

Much of their work is done throughout the center on equipment installed in other buildings, but they do have work areas inside to bring some smaller items back for repair as needed.

Please exit the bus, enter the building up the ramp at the end of the building, and gather inside the high bay door.

Note – we have a facility project ongoing whereby the overhead lighting is being replaced with LED lighting. This effort is outside of the scope captured within this Logistics PWS and will not be performed by potential offerors.

This is our furniture area where many of the furniture repairs take place. This area is also used for crate storage for personnel pickup/deliveries, as well as storage for tables and chairs used in our special events.

This is our mailroom. This facility has its own dedicated HVAC system for security purposes and also has an X-ray machine and glove box for package screening and suspicious package isolation. All incoming and outgoing mail come through this facility.

This is our receiving staging area. On the left you will notice the containment bins in our hazardous material staging area. On the right is additional warehouse space for distribution staging or items currently being worked through the receiving process.

This is our receiving dock. All packages that can fit through the X-ray machines are screened for potential threats. Items are received here based upon purchase type and then staged for distribution.

This is our shipping area where we handle all the packaging, labeling, and custom crate construction.

On the left is our Transportation office where shipping requests are submitted. Here is where carrier selection is determined and where the paperwork is processed.

Next is the flight hardware area which has a wall of lektrievers for records. It also contains storage cabinets and warehouse shelving for inventory and storage and our ESD tables. All requirements for Flight Hardware come from the programs/projects for their specific acquisition needs.

Next is our property offices where our property custodians and supply clerks sit. They handle all the tagging criteria, cataloging, loans, cannibalization, physical inventories, and transfers.

This is our distribution break area. This crew is responsible for package deliveries, personnel moves, equipment moves, disposal pickup services, furniture deliveries, and special event setups.

This concludes the tour for 4631. Everyone please use the walkway and follow me back to the bus.
