Copy of HARC Questions Submission - ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics - 26 Jan 2026.xlsx

This file is a Questions and Answers (Q&A) submission from ASRC Federal Facilities Logistics, LLC (AFFL) regarding the Hardware Acquisition Recompete–Customer Direct (HARCD) solicitation. The document addresses two key inquiries submitted on January 26, 2026. The first question clarifies treatment of excess government stock versus Vendor Managed Inventory (VMI) and confirms that the Throughput Charge percentage applies uniformly to both VMI and commercially sourced materials based on negotiated unit prices, with Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) adjustments applied only to the material cost, not the throughput fee itself. The second question requests an extension to the material submission deadline, which the Government approved, extending the response date to March 20, 2026. The solicitation (SPE4A2-26-R-0001-0005) is issued by the Defense Logistics Agency Aviation and includes modifications to extend the solicitation close date accordingly.

The Q&A submission demonstrates clarification of pricing mechanisms central to the HARCD contract structure, specifically how throughput charges are calculated and applied to both depleted VMI inventory and newly acquired materials. The Government's responses confirm pricing methodology and administrative flexibility in response to supply chain delays, with a note that VMI orders are submitted via Form 940 requisitions rather than delivery orders, and are identified by requisition numbers rather than delivery order numbers.
