Strategic Distribution and Disposition (SDD)

Amendment 01 BAA-0001-23 is hereby amended to remove the language "INITIAL CLOSING DATE FOR RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS: (60 DAYS)" located on page 2 of BAA-0001-23.

DLA is going through a major Digital Business Transformation (DBX) and is captured as a critical capability in the DLA Strategic Plan 2021-2026. The 5G Smart-warehouse project directly supports the DLA DBX in the DLA Strategic Plan.
DLA seeks interested parties to enhance DLA business processes using state-of-the-art emerging technologies and innovative business practices. Vendors who receive awards are intended to be organizations with demonstrated expertise in relevant areas of DLA business processes. The SDD mission will be accomplished through sharply focused awards, typically three to 24 months in duration, that will be executed by successful contract awardees.

Through the 5G Smart warehouse project, DLA seeks to provide both a proactive logistics response in a manner that consistently meets its customer needs. These objectives are to be accomplished through DLA's continued RDT&E activities of industry 4.0 technologies mentioned in section 1. It is envisioned that these technologies, going forward will lead DLA Distribution and Disposition services with the highest level of innovation needed to augment or replace many DLA's legacy technologies that achieved Initial Operation Capability (IOC) in the 1999’s. Many of the current warehouse systems are unsustainable, inefficient, and present many cybersecurity considerations, with DLA’s mission changing over the past 20 years, and cyber threats are now on the forefront. It is critical to DLA Distribution to add and/or replace legacy technologies with state-of-the-art technologies that are designed with cybersecurity considerations and evaluated through RDT&E activities.  See attached BAA for more information.
