The number of commercially priced items is now 622.

 The purpose of this announcement is to advertise that Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Land & Maritime is soliciting for a successor initiative of Industrial Product-Support Vendor (IPV) Program that will provide integrated supply chain management and logistics support of  line-side delivery of bench stock items to customers involved in maintenance, repair, and overhaul operations at the maintenance depots for the maintenance/production lines at Tobyhanna Army Depot (TYAD) located in Tobyhanna, PA.  The bench stock parts will normally be stored at or near the point of use (line-side support) in performance of the maintenance, repair, and/or overhaul of military weapons systems or related equipment.  The IPV contract is a performance-based agreement structured around the Performance Work Statement (PWS).  Performance-based contracting emphasizes that all aspects of an acquisition are based upon the purpose of the work to be performed as opposed to the manner in which the work is executed.  The proposed procurement contains an option to extend the contract period one or more times at the discretion of the Government.  The total duration (base plus option years) shall not exceed (7) years. 

This acquisition includes a complete Schedule of Supplies for IPV at TYAD which is currently approximately 3900 items, from which 612 items will be priced commercially to support TYAD.  That population of 612 NSNs is considered the All or None population and therefore will be required to be priced in order to be considered a responsible offeror.  This solicitation will be unrestricted with Full and Open competition. The solicitation will be available on or about February 1, 2016 at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/RFP/.

The item under this acquisition may be subject to Agreement on Government Procurement approved and implemented in the Unites States by the Trade Agreements Act of 1979.  All offers shall be in the English language and in U.S. Dollars.  All responsible sources may submit an offer, which shall be considered. The North American Industry Classification System for this procurement is 332722 and number of employees is 500.

The statutory authority for "Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements" for this initiative is 10 U.S.C.2304(c)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1(a)(ii) and (iii).  Interested persons may identify their interest and capability to respond to the requirement.

The Government will base the determination of best value on a comparative assessment of the offerors' prices and non-price factors listed within the solicitation.  The combined weight of the non-price factors is significantly more important than price.
