On Time Delivery Improvement

In accordance with the 448th Supply Chain Management Wing (448th SCMW), Air Force Sustainment Center Contracting Directorate (AFSC/OK) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Contracting On-Time Delivery (OTD) Improvement Initiative. DLA Contracting has established the following OTD requirements with the intent to improve OTD.

As detailed in section B of the Solicitation, the government has developed a Required Delivery Schedule (RDS), which is reflective of the customer need date as well as projected Production Lead Time (PLT). The government RDS considered such factors as historical data and active contracts. In developing your response, the government requests your company review the RDS provided and propose an achievable delivery schedule based on your internal PLT review.

With input from suppliers, the Contracting Officer may negotiate an updated RDS representative of all factors stated above along with any new information that may become available.
