8. Please describe, concisely but completely as possible, the infrastructure you would need to set up to accomplish delivery of the listed schedule of supplies to the potential delivery points cited on page one. Please explain in terms of the physical facilities and equipment that you would lease or otherwise acquire as well as any arrangements and agreements you would plan to make with trucking and warehousing firms, source stuff and packaging facilities, etc.

9. How long of a ramp-up period (implementation period) would you require to set up the infrastructure described above?

10. Surge and Sustainment is defined as increased quantities and/or accelerated delivery rates required to meet the Services’ requirements across a broad spectrum of contingencies. The increased quantity and accelerated delivery rate are above and beyond the normal peacetime requirements. For these items a surge quantity option would be considered (for example, 50% above normal demand).

Are there particular items (reference table page 6, Q#11), that would be difficult to provide a substantial increase in quantity combined with an accelerated delivery?
