C2ISR Enterprise Contracted Logistics Support (ECLS)

15 January 2016

CAUTION:

This market survey is being conducted to identify potential sources that may possess the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements for providing logistic support services for task-oriented ECLS weapon systems sustainment in support of the Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC), C2ISR Division (HBG), Logistics Branch (HBGL) at Robins Air Force Base, (RAFB) Georgia. The preponderance of work performed will be at this location with occasional travel requirements to support field sites in both CONUS and International locations. Current weapon systems supported by this effort will include the U-2 aircraft, the Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS), Special Projects, Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and associated support systems. We are establishing an enterprise approach for accomplishing effective Supply Chain Management (SCM) to provide global logistics support to the war fighter. The ECLS performance tasks include functioning as the Service Provider (SP) at the enterprise level for Materiel Management, Warehousing and related SCM activities as identified by the C2ISR weapon systems. Additionally, technical support of sustainment activities associated with product support of weapon system inventory of the kind provided by a sustainment equipment specialist will be required. An essential component of the ECLS effort is to use the web-based Automated Logistics Management Support System (ALMSS) and/or other DoD approved supply support systems (e.g., D200 [Requirements Management System], D035 [Stock Control and Distribution System], D043 [Master Item Identification Control System]).

These logistics support systems will be used to track material usage, provide historical data, determine stocking levels, and provide stock control and distribution functionality for both national stock number and part number peculiar items for wholesale and retail distribution. No trainee (apprentice) level personnel will be accepted for performance under this effort. All positions require a minimum of a Secret clearance, with some positions requiring access at the Top Secret clearance level. Foreign companies, as a prime, partner or subcontractor, are excluded from participating in this effort. The term of this effort is 5 years to be executed as an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract. A smaller scoped effort is being performed by the GINN Group under GSA task order ID04150042 at a value of $1.672M per year. Current period of performance for this effort is 12 months with two – 6 month extension options.
