AFMC OL:H/PZABA at Hill AFB anticipates possible award of a Secondary Power Logistics contract in support of various supplies consisting of repairable NSNs for support of the A-10, B-1, B-2, F-15, C-5, F-16, C-130, and Gas Turbine Engines. All of the supplies will be provided under a performance based logistics construct with availability and reliability metrics used to gauge contractor performance. Other metrics may be included. The contractor will be paid based on the aggregate flight hours, operating hours or other appropriate measurements of usage of the specific weapon systems. The DLRs that will be included in this contract are currently procured under various contracts with the DLA, USAF, USA and USN. The contract will also include necessary support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The contract action will be strategic in nature and will be the primary vehicle for procurement of a wide range of supplies. Various Government approved operational sites will be supported by this effort. The contractor will be required to deliver their supplies to Government wholesale and retail supply points both CONUS and OCONUS within specified time windows and at contractor expense. Performance will include a five year base period with one five year option to extend the contract for a total performance period of ten years. Honeywell International Inc. (HII) is the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) of these items with design control, authorization, and documentation to manufacture. HII owns the limited data rights to these items. The Government does not have the drawings or complete data packages. However, some technical repair manuals and usage data is available by request from the owning service. Under a PBL contract, a Contractor will carry out logistics functions for the depot level repairables 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.

There are approximately 450 DLR items in 93 Federal Supply Codes (FSC) to be covered by this contract, with flexibility/processes to add more items as requirements dictate.
