This acquisition will result in Firm-Fixed-Price, Indefinite-Quantity Contracts for delivery to stock only.

Phased pricing will allow all vendors the opportunity to offer on as many NSNs as possible. The Government may make multiple awards (maximum two for each NSN) by NSN where high-density items cannot be supported by a single source of supply. However, this will ultimately be determined by the competition received. An all or none clause is not included. For NSNs resulting in a single award, the managing activity will issue delivery orders by means of Electronic Data Interchange (EDI), using the conventions and formats prescribed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI X12) and the Department of Defense (DoD) Implementation Guidelines. The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will be using a Distribution Point with connections to several Value Added Networks (VANs) for passing transactions to vendors in ANSI X12 format. Supplies will be ordered using the following EDI Transaction Sets: (1) Transaction Set 850 - Call/Order (2) Transaction Set 810 - Invoice To determine the offeror(s) that provide the best value to the Government, the Agency will use the trade-off process (instead of the lowest priced technically acceptable source selection process). Access to a complete list of NSNs and P/Ns included on this solicitation can be downloaded from: http://www.dscc.dla.mil/programs/corporate_contracts/cc.asp on the date of issue. It is impracticable to distribute the applicable drawings with the solicitation, however, they will be available at .

FEDERAL, MILITARY AND COMMERCIAL SPECIFICATIONS CANNOT BE PROVIDED BY DSCC. *Reset is a major effort to "repair and refit" Army and Marine Corps units that have recently returned from deployment. It involves bringing more than 20,000 wheeled and 3,000 tracked vehicles, every aviation system in Southwest Asia and 300 different command and control systems to a condition where they can be reissued for use by units replacing soldiers redeploying from Iraq or be used to fight another conflict anywhere in the world. The Marine Corps Reconstitution effort, while smaller in scale, is equally important.
