Added: Jun 18, 2015 1:01 pm DLA Distribution has identified a continued need for distribution labor support services which will be advertised under solicitation SP3300-15-R-5009.

The subject acquisition will provide a wide range of warehouse and distribution operation service requirements to support surge and non-recurring services (e.g., surge services at existing locations, at new locations, and those where a Government workforce is performing; and nonrecurring services, which may be one-time or as required services and are ordered on an "as needed" basis but not provided on a regular basis). Contractor will provide all management, personnel, supervision, facilities, materials, supplies, tools, equipment, and transportation worldwide.

Work will encompass support to Distribution Center operations and other DLA Distribution or DLA initiatives for workload surges; unforeseen, unplanned workload; contingency operations, and special projects. Operations and initiatives may include but are not limited to:
a. Government workforce augmentation. The Contractor may be required to work alongside a government workforce already providing mission support operations at a DLA Distribution Depot for surge workload, non-recurring or special project initiatives.
b. Warehouse Support Operations. The Contractor may be required to perform warehouse and distribution requirements/operations in government and/or contractor owned warehouses, providing all management, supervision, personnel, facilities, operating materials, supplies, and material handling equipment (MHE).
c. Depot contract support. The Contractor may be required to take over warehouse and distribution operations of a DLA Distribution Depot if an operating contractor is found unable to continue in the performance of the contract support requirements.
d. Department of Defense contingency operations. The Contractor may be required to support CONUS/OCONUS DOD contingency operation to include but not limited to humanitarian and warfighter support operations. Support may include but is not limited to furnish all facilities, transportation, labor, MHE/equipment and supplies necessary to perform the support operations. Environmental conditions may include extremes of temperature, physiologic demand (water, mineral, salt, and heat management), and poor air quality (especially particulates), while the operating conditions may impose extremes of diet (to include fat, salt, and caloric levels), discomfort, sleep deprivation, emotional stress, and circadian disruption.
e. Department of Defense exercise support. The Contractor may be required to support exercise operations of the US Government and its Allies. These exercises may include but are not limited to supporting requirements found in section C-1.1 Scope of Work.
