GE T700 Intent to Bundle - Small Business Industry Day

This notice is issued for informational and planning purposes only. This announcement is neither a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor does it constitute a guarantee or otherwise commit the Government, in any way, to solicit or award a contract now or in the future. SPE4AX-21-R-0001 is the planned solicitation number and is being used for notice identification; however, no solicitation is available at this time. DLA Aviation intends to bundle approximately 674 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) into a procurement for T700 Engine performance based supply chain management support. This holistic project is expected to be a single contract action with General Electric Aviation (GE). This population of items meets the definition on bundling at FAR 2.101, and is likely to be unsuitable for award to a small business due to the diversity, size, or specialized nature of the elements of the performance specified. The purpose of this notice is to invite interested parties to attend a Small Business Industry Day hosted by the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation. The Small Business Industry Day presentation will explain the Government's rationale for this holistic project and to highlight how small businesses can become qualified suppliers to GE. GE will provide a briefing that will cover their commitment to small business, what it is looking for in a supplier, small business NAICS codes, supplier-teaming resources, and the steps for supplier qualification. The Small Business Industry Day will be held virtually on the 15th of December, 0900 - 1100, Eastern Standard Time (EST). Pre-registration for attendance is REQUIRED. This is a no-fee event. Additional event details, including conference line access will be provided once attendance is confirmed. Questions relative to this Small Business Industry Day should be addressed to the Program Manager, Mr. Ryan Finan at Ryan.Finan@dla.mil. Companies are required to e-mail Mr. Finan no later than 1600 EST on the 4th of December 2020 with the following pre-registration information: (1) Company Name (2) Full Name(s) of attendees (3) Contact Info.

Please submit questions in advance to Mr. Finan and Mr. Rackley no later than 1600 EST on 10th of December 2020 via e-mail.

Please mark business sensitive/proprietary questions appropriately. Presentations and questions/answers will be posted on the Beta.Sam.Gov website following event completion.
