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.
Quantity Range Pricing
The Government intends to purchase a total of 6 Grip Assembly, Contr. These requirements are for FMS customers which are typically more volatile and could impact the quantity on the potential award (higher or lower quantities). Therefore, the Government is requesting range pricing for the following ranges. Please provide range pricing below.
1 to 2 EA $____________________ 3 to 4 EA $____________________ 5 to 10 EA $____________________ 11 to 15 EA $____________________
16 EA + $____________________
The Item No.’s (starting on page 4) list best estimated quantities. These Item No.’s will be unpriced as all pricing should be completed in the table above.
In the event of competition, the Government will be awarding based on the total quantities needed at the time of award. The Government will evaluate competitive proposals based on the needed quantity price range.
*In the event the ranges listed above do not reflect appropriate range pricing, the contractor is able to provide alternate quantity ranges.

(b) One or more qualification requirements apply to the supplies or services covered by this contract. For those supplies or services requiring qualification, whether the covered product or service is an end item, the product, manufacturer, or source must have demonstrated that it meets the standards prescribed for qualification before award of this contract. The product, manufacturer, or source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.

This is necessary whether the Contractor or a subcontractor will ultimately provide the product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate this contract for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the Government's best interests.
(e) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product, or service has met the qualification requirement but is not yet on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list, the offeror must submit evidence of qualification prior to award of this contract. Unless determined to be in the Government's interest, award of this contract shall not be delayed to permit an offeror to submit evidence of qualification.
(f) Any change in location or ownership of the plant where a previously qualified product or service was manufactured or performed requires reevaluation of the qualification. Similarly, any change in location or ownership of a previously qualified manufacturer or source requires reevaluation of the qualification. The reevaluation must be accomplished before the date of award.
