1 Year Performanced Based Logistics Contract for repair of MK-41 components

NAVSUP Weapon System Support plans to award a one  year Performance Based Logistics (PBL) contract for the MK 41 VLS. This PBL contract will be awarded to Lockheed Martin (LM) (Cage Code: 38597) located in Baltimore, MD in November 2018. Under the anticipated contract, the contractor will stock, warehouse, repair, modify and/or replace, store and provide for shipment of Ready-for-Issue (RFI) condition assets within the negotiated contractor response times.

The PBL contract will require an integrated product life cycle approach whereby the contractor assumes responsibility for many management and support functions related to the PBL such as engineering and logistics support. LM will be required to meet established response times through component repair replacement, reliability oversight and inventory, configuration and obsolescence management.



The maximum period of performance for this effort will not exceed one (1) year. Justification for Sole Source Acquisition: the statutory authority applicable to permit other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. 2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(2)(ii) and (iii) with only one responsible source and no other supplies and services will satisfy agency requirements.

Absent interest/approval of additional sources, the Government intends to negotiate a contract with Lockheed Martin (LM) (Cage Code: 38597) the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) for the components to be covered under this PBL contract. LM is the only source with the engineering expertise and technical data necessary to perform essential PBL tasks such as repair, resolution of obsolescence issues, sustainment of reliability, and configuration management covered by the contemplated procurement. Further, only LM owns the necessary design, configuration, manufacturing, production, and process data required for reliability sustainment. In addition, only LM has access to the original design data/OEM intellectual property.




For any questions concerning this notice, contact the PCO, Michael Schmidt,  Michael.schmidt3@navy.mil
The subject items require Government source approval prior to contract award, as the technical data available has not been determined adequate to support repair via full and open competition. Only the source previously approved by the Government for repair of these items, LM 98357, will be solicited. The time required for approval of a new source is normally such that an award cannot be delayed pending approval of a new source.

If you are not an approved source you must submit, together with your proposal, the information detailed in the NAVSUP WSS Source Approval Information Brochure for Repair. This brochure identifies technical data required to be submitted based on your company's experience in repair of the same or similar items. If your request for source approval is currently being evaluated at NAVSUP WSS, submit with your offer a copy of the cover letter that forwarded your request for source approval. Offers received which fail to provide all data required by the Source Approval Brochure or document previous submission of all data required by the Source Approval Brochure will be considered for award under this solicitation.

Please note, if evaluation of a source approval request submitted hereunder cannot be processed in time and/or approval requirements preclude the ability to obtain subject items in time to meet Government requirements, award of the subject requirement may continue based on Fleet support needs.
