STATEMENT OF WORK (SOW)

FOR

DLA STORAGE COVER SOLUTIONS

SECTION C-1: INTRODUCTION

1.0 BACKGROUND

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is the largest logistics support agency in the United States (U.S.) Department of Defense (DOD). The DLA Director reports to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics (USD AT&L) through the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Logistics and Materiel Readiness (ASD L&MR). DLA provides worldwide logistics support, acquisition, and technical services to the military services, other federal and civilian agencies, and partner nations in peacetime and wartime.

The primary mission of DLA is to provide supplies and services to United States Military forces worldwide. Within the general scope of DLA’s mission involves managing and supporting DOD warehouse operations via a worldwide enterprise consisting of over 34 distribution centers and facilities. The scope of operations involves over 10,000 personnel who manage a $105 billion inventory of over 2.4 million items and process approximately 15 million transactions annually for over 243,000 customers.

DLA has a requirement to provide Storage Cover Solutions for various distribution centers, warehouses, and operations. The requirement includes not only DLA owned sites, but other DOD sites as well. The intent is to leverage the best, most suitable emerging technologies to improve its equipment readiness capabilities to support the Warfighter to the utmost extent practicable.

To achieve operational efficiencies, DLA is planning the implementation of innovative and emerging technology advancements in Storage Cover Solutions to combat deterioration of equipment. Distribution Operations seeks to enhance logistics support capabilities and reduce equipment maintenance expenditures thru cost-effective storage solutions.

The Government has determined that a multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract is the best type of contract vehicle to accomplish the high volume and variety of storage solution projects anticipated by DLA. An IDIQ contract of this nature can act as the primary support vehicle for the Storage Solution requirements with the resultant contracts allowing for centralized ordering. As such, the IDIQ is anticipated to be well suited to accommodate acquiring solutions comprised of current, innovative, emerging, and custom designs for storage solutions in addition to ancillary services such as on-site design services, on-site installation training, on-site installation, and periodic inspection services.

The multiple award IDIQ contract approach will enable DLA to complete the Requirement Analysis phases of each project in a more cost-effective and efficient manner. It will also provide a competitive pool of Contractors who are, or will become familiar with, procedures and regulations governing supplies procured for DLA. Individual Delivery Orders (DOs) will be competed among successful Offerors and subsequent contracts are anticipated to support DLA requirements originating within the Contiguous United Stated (CONUS) and Outside the Contiguous United States (OCONUS).

1.1 OBJECTIVE

The DLA Storage Cover Program will provide a singular, consolidated acquisition mechanism through which all of DLA can maximize its opportunities to achieve the following Program Objectives:

• Increased production efficiency through technology, equipment, hardware, and software solutions

• Reduced operating costs and improved realization of Return on Investments (ROI)

• Enhanced audit readiness and accountability of operations

• Process improvement and simplification

• Streamlined warehouse control, management, and operations
