F18 Depot Option - Increment 1

DLA Aviation at Philadelphia is soliciting a proposal for the acquisition of performance based support for F/A-18 Depot Option Level Support under the Boeing Captains of Industry (BCOI) contract, SPRPA1-14-D-200U. This will be an increment to the existing CLIN 0088. Under the BCOI contract the contractor will provide following: logistics management, which includes wholesale supply support, depot-level consumable support, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage, reliability improvements, and field engineering support. Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) - Aviation seeks to continue providing fleet support under the current BCOI contract by adding the F/A-18 Depot Option Support requirement. The support is broken down into two areas: direct aviation platform material support and spare parts/material support used in the repair of aviation components and airframes at DoD repair depots. This increment will add 15 NIINs to the current market basket. The attached list of items consists solely of consumable items which will be added to the existing BCOI contract, see Attachment A. The contractor will be required to meet supply chain performance based metrics for material availability for the additional 20 NSNs for the F/A-18 through Depot Option support. This effort contemplated to be procured from Boeing, under the authority of FAR 6.302-1, will be required to provide comprehensive support of the program. Due to the age of the weapon system, drawings are no longer up-to-date; tooling is no longer available or un-useable; materials may be obsolete and the vendor base has significantly diminished since the parts were last purchased. DLA lacks sufficient technical data to compete the complete requirement effectively and Boeing, as the F/A-18 A-D OEM, possesses the technical capability and data to produce these items. The integrated approach to supporting the F/A-18 High Flight Hour and Planned Maintenance Interval line enables DLA to meet Navy and Marine Corps planning timeframes and reduces the risk of impact to the warfighter. The contract is planned as a Fixed Price action against the BCOI contract, which is strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for procurement of a wide range of supplies. Under the F/A-18 Depot Option Level Support, the contractor will be required to provide the following: tailored support based on needs, material support, supply chain engineering support, field service rep, maintenance planning, planning and support, and provide engineering liaison. The performance metrics will be based on the level of demand for the individual NSN. For the depot support, the contractor will be required to fill material requirements to facilitate repair in Government repair depots supporting Boeing aviation platforms. The contractor will be required to fill all material requirements emanating from individual component repair and airframe depot events bill of materials (RBOMs) at DoD repair depots for Boeing aviation platforms. In addition to filling the RBOM requirements, the contractor is expected to make recommendations for Engineering Change Proposals (ECPs). Additionally, the contractor will be required to aggregate all material requirements, i.e. production, repair, allowances, in order to leverage the best value for material support. This add-on to the BCOI contract is directly for the F/A-18 Depot Option Level Support. The contractor will be paid based on the aggregate demands or other appropriate measurements of usage of the specific weapon systems. The items that will be included in this contract are currently procured under various contracts with the DLA. The contract will also include necessary support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The BCOI Contract is strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for the Depot support. The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies to Government wholesale and retail supply points both CONUS and OCONUS within specified time windows. The BCOI contract has a performance period of five (5) year base period with one five (5) year option to extend the contract for a total performance period of ten years. This effort is for the five (5) year option period of the original base. F/A-18 Depot Option five year period of performance started on 10 April 2023 and will conclude on 09 April 2028. Under the BCOI Contract, the Contractor will carry out logistics functions for the specified items while meeting daily Services demand requirements (i.e., filling various Services requisitions) within a specified response time to CONUS and OCONUS destinations. DLA requires strategies that would include partnering with Government entities such as Organic Depots.
