LGPVC Proposed Clause

The DLA Aviation Contracting Office at Hill AFB plans to incorporate a clause into the Landing Gear Prime Vendor Contract, encompassing contract numbers FA8203-08-D-0001 through FA8203-08-D-0004. This clause outlines the process for modifying the contract’s parts lists—specifically, Attachment 7 for Air Force-managed landing gear parts and Attachment 8 for DLA-managed parts—to add or remove items that were not identified initially or later found to be non-competitive. When a landing gear part is deemed appropriate for inclusion based on competitiveness and demand, the Contracting Officer (CO) will issue a draft contract modification requesting ceiling prices and maximum delivery times from the prime vendors. The primes have 30 days to respond or may request an extension. The CO then reviews the submitted prices for reasonableness, seeks justification as needed, obtains concurrence for changes, and finalizes the contract modification. Parts found to be non-competitive or unsuitable will be removed through unilateral modification by the CO. This provision ensures ongoing contract flexibility and responsiveness to changing demands and market competitiveness, facilitating the efficient management of landing gear parts under the LGPVC. Points of contact for further inquiry include Nathan J. Flinders from Hill AFB, reachable by phone or email. The contract relates to NAICS code 336413, indicating the aerospace product and parts manufacturing sector, and supports streamlined updates to the parts inventory, maintaining alignment with operational needs and cost control.
