About this opportunity
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking research and development proposals through the Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program to develop innovative technologies and improve logistics processes for sustaining Department of Defense weapon systems. The solicitation targets R&D solutions that can enhance capabilities across DLA's Major Subordinate Commands, with a specific focus on Supply Class IX parts management and broader business process improvements. Evaluation criteria will emphasize technical factors such as Feasibility, Viability, and Desirability, with additional consideration given to Past Performance and Cost/Price, where technical aspects will be weighted more heavily. The Broad Agency Announcement (BAA) SP4701-24-B-0001 will initially be open for 45 days to receive White Papers, with potential for full technical and cost proposals to be requested from selected vendors. Interested offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions that align with DOD and DLA strategic initiatives.
The solicitation does not include any specific set-aside designations, though small business participation is encouraged. The government intends to invest up to $7 million annually over fiscal years 2024-2028, with awards structured as cost-type Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts. Each contract will have a one-year base period with four potential one-year option periods, and individual project durations are expected to range from 4-24 months. The NAICS code is 541715 with a size standard of 1,000 employees, categorizing the opportunity in research and development services for physical, engineering, and life sciences. Proposals will be evaluated for their potential to improve processes within Troop Support, Aviation, and Land and Maritime Major Subordinate Commands, with the ultimate goal of enhancing DLA's logistics capabilities and service delivery.
Notice text
The Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program is exploring the application of emergent technologies and commercial or other innovative business practices to develop new capabilities and improved Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) processes to sustain Department of Defense (DOD) weapon systems. LTR seeks to develop and demonstrate capabilities with beneficial application across one or more DLA Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs) or HQ Process Owners.
LTR is a DLA-sponsored logistics R&D program with a mission to conduct research and development projects to provide improved capabilities and methods for delivery of parts and services to DLA’s customers. Problems addressed by LTR are usually, although not always, associated with DLA management of weapon system parts in Supply Class IX, although the R&D solutions can be deployed to additional areas of DLA’s business processes. LTR projects address problems faced by the Troop Support, Aviation, and Land and Maritime MSCs and several DLA Headquarters Process Owners.
Offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions within the scope of the LTR. Equal consideration will be given to all approaches that enable improved processes aligning with the DOD and DLA Director’s Strategic Initiatives.
