FSG 53 Performance-Based Acquisition Support Strategy

This synopsis is issued for informational and planning purposes only and is neither a Request for Proposal (RFP) nor does it constitute a guarantee or commit the Government, in any way, to solicit or award a contract now or in the future. SPE4A5-19-R-FG53 is the planned number of the forthcoming solicitation and is being used for solicitation identification, however, no solicitation is available at this time. The planned solicitation is in reference to the Federal Stock Group 53 (FSG 53) Performance-Based Supply Chain Management holistic project that includes a total of approximately 221,099 NSNs. A listing of the national stock numbers (NSNs) is attached to this synopsis. This project is expected to be a commercial, competitive, single-source contract action. This population of 221,099 NSNs meets the definition of bundling at FAR 2.101, and it is likely unsuitable for award to a small business due to the diversity, size, or specialized nature of the elements of the performance. A notice of Intent to Bundle Requirements of this acquisition was posted to www.fbo.gov on August 13, 2019 under the same planned solicitation number, SPE4A5-19-R-FG53. As stated in the Intent to Bundle Requirements notice, DLA has determined that measurably substantial benefits are expected to be derived as a result of the bundling as defined at FAR 7.107. The expected benefits of this bundling action are listed in FAR 7.107-3 and summarized below: (1) Cost savings (2) Price reduction (3) Quality improvements that will save time or improve or enhance performance or efficiency (4) Reduction in acquisition cycle times (5) Better terms and conditions (6) Anticipated financial benefits equivalent to five (5) percent of the estimated contract or order value (including options)
