The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will issue a Request for Proposal on or about March 11, 2022 at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/.  The proposed contract will be a small business set-aside. Only offers from small business concerns will be considered. 

This is not a request for quote or proposal.  The purpose of this pre-solicitation notice is to provide prospective vendors the opportunity to review the 4 NSNs.  The solicitation, which is a small business set-aside procurement, will be for the following 4 NSNs comprised of various FSCs and NAICS codes: 

NSN                                       FSC        Item Name                                                           NAICS    AMC       AMSC

The solicitation will be issued on an all or none basis per NSN, which means vendors may provide a proposal on one NSN, all NSNs, or any number of NSNs in between.  Each NSN listed on the request for proposal will have a contract minimum and maximum that is set at the NSN level. This will be used to determine if cost and pricing data would be required with any proposals, and if none of the exceptions to cost and pricing data were found.

An indefinite quantity contract with three base years and one possible option year is anticipated. The total duration, base period plus option years shall not exceed 4 years.  The solicitation for the 4 items will be issued as a FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation. However, if a company would like to provide information as to an item's commerciality with its proposal, that information will be reviewed, and may or may not lead to a determination that the item is commercial and would be moved to a FAR Part 12 procurement.

Items are all for DLA Direct (Stock) requirements.  When solicited, the NSNs will have quantity breaks.  The solicitation will specify Inspection/Acceptance at Origin or Destination and whether Military Packaging or commercial packaging applies. Government required delivery will be annotated on the solicitation. 

While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final decision will be based on a combination of price, past performance, delivery and any other factors listed in the solicitation.

If NSNs are a drawing, the drawings will be located on the cFolders once the solicitation is released.  Drawings can be downloaded by authorized users from the cFolders website via the Internet at https://pcf1.bsm.dla.mil/cfolders.  Problems with cFolders can be addressed by the cFolders Help Desk at (855) 352-0001 and/or via email at DSCC.ProdDataCustSvc@dla.mil.
