Air Force GEN IV IPV

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation issued a Special Notice on May 14, 2025, regarding the Air Force Industrial Product-Support Vendor (IPV) GEN IV contract opportunity. The notice concerns the availability of government storage and distribution services at three Air Logistics Complexes located in Hill AFB (Ogden, UT), Tinker AFB (Oklahoma City, OK), and Warner Robins AFB (Warner Robins, GA). This opportunity is rooted in legislation from the National Defense Authorization Acts for Fiscal Years 2017 and 2025, which established a program allowing the Secretary of Defense to provide storage and distribution services to contractors supporting Department of Defense contracts. The notice targets contractors interested in potential Public Private Partnership agreements for logistics and distribution services.

The primary objective of this Special Notice is to inform contractors about the option to utilize DLA distribution warehouse space under specific conditions. Contractors must ensure full-cost recovery for services and are prohibited from charging for deficiency corrections. The program requires that these services do not interfere with DLA's core mission and mandates annual reporting to Congressional Armed Services Committees on cost-effectiveness, contract performance impacts, and existing support contract details. Interested contractors should contact Joe Saffron, Chief of Strategic Programs Engagement Division at DLA Distribution, for additional information about the partnership opportunities. The notice is open until July 21, 2025, providing contractors ample time to explore this potential collaborative arrangement. Eligibility appears to be broadly defined, focusing on contractors supporting Department of Defense contracts who can meet the specified service and reporting requirements.
