The purpose of this notice is to synopsize the Kuwait Ammunition Supply Point and Theater Storage Area 3.0 (ASP/TSA 3.0) requirement in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation 5.207. 

Army Contracting Command – Rock Island (ACC-RI) intends to issue a solicitation for Class V munitions supply support for all ammunition stocks accounted for by 1st Sustainment Command (Theater)(1st TSC) to U.S. Military / Government component, Department of Defense agencies and, as required, Coalitions Forces in the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility.  It is estimated that the Request for Proposal, W519TC-24-R-0005, will be issued on or about 27 March 2024.  However, this date is subject to change.  Future notices, as applicable, will provide updates of the anticipated solicitation release date. 

ACC-RI intends to conduct a full and open, best value competition to award a single Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee contract.  The period of performance is anticipated to consist of a nine-month base period with four one year evaluated option periods and will also include Federal Acquisition Regulation clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, for up to six-months. A 90-day mobilization period is applicable. 

The successful offeror for this acquisition will be required to support the 1st TSC for those interconnected warehouse operations support services that are critical to mission accomplishment, and cannot be efficiently acquired independently via separate competitive acquisitions.  Please reference the attached PWS for a list of principal functions/tasks. 

It should be noted that any interested parties must be able to demonstrate the existence of a current U.S. facility clearance to the SECRET level IAW DODD 5220.22, National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual.  This SECRET level clearance may also apply to affiliates, team members, and subcontractors if they have access to classified information.  At the time a future solicitation is issued, all respondents will be required to submit Facility Clearances for all entities who will be handling classified information (to include, but not limited to: subcontractors, teaming, and any joint ventures) in accordance with the directions delineated in said solicitation document.
