Intent to Bundle Requirements (DOD Funded)

This is a notification of DLA Aviation's intention to bundle approximately 2,261 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) into a procurement for TF34 Engine performance based supply chain management support. SPE4A2-17-R-SCC3 is the planned solicitation number and is being used for notice identification; however, no solicitation is available at this time. This holistic project is expected to be a single contract action with General Electric (GE) Aircraft Engines. This proposed procurement action meets the definition of bundling at FAR 2.101, and it 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.

DLA Aviation has determined that measurably substantial benefits are expected to be derived as a result of the bundling as defined at FAR 7.107. The expected benefits of this bundling are listed in FAR 7.107-3 and summarized below:

1) Cost Savings
2) Price Reduction
3) Quality improvements that will save time or improve or enhance performance or efficiency
4) Reduction of acquisition cycle times
5) Better terms and conditions
6) Anticipated quantified savings of at least five (5) percent of the estimated contract value including options
