Sources Sought NIIN List.xlsx

This is a Sources Sought notice and National Item Identification Number (NIIN) list for the F135 Propulsion System Supply Chain Management & Programmatic Support contract. The Defense Logistics Agency Weapons Support - Richmond (DLA WS RIC) is seeking sources for a potential Long-Term Contract (LTC) anticipated to consist of a five-year base period with a five-year option, for a total of ten years of performance. The contract is expected to be issued as a comprehensive sole-source requirements-type contract under basic agreement SPE4AX-22-D-0001 and will provide holistic F135 Engine support including consumable and depot-level repairable (DLR) spare parts. The material population comprises approximately 435 DLA-managed common NIINs designated for sole-source support from the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), along with approximately 3,500 non-NSN engine components identified as sole-source to the OEM. An additional 435 items included in the attachment for forecast management purposes will not be designated as sole-source and will remain supported through normal DLA supply chain channels.

The contract scope encompasses both material support and ancillary services including programmatic supply chain forecasting and management. All items will be evaluated on a line-by-line basis, with items identified for competitive sourcing to be removed from the final award population. The sources sought notice is issued for information and planning purposes only and does not constitute a formal solicitation or commitment by the government. This notice represents the transition of F135 Propulsion System Sustainment management from the F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) to DLA. Additional items may be added in the future through amendments to the sources sought notice.
