Description
This is a notification of DLA Weapons Support – Richmond’s intention to bundle F135 propulsion system sustainment requirements into a long-term holistic contract. SPE4A1-26-R-0005 is the planned solicitation number and is being used for notice identification; however, no solicitation is available at this time. This holistic project is expected to be a single contract action with Pratt & Whitney.
This proposed procurement action meets the definition of bundling at FAR 2.101, and it is likely to be unsuitable for award to a small business due to the diversity, size, or specialized nature of the elements of the performance specified. DLA anticipates that measurably substantial benefits will be derived as a result of the proposed bundling. Expected benefits include, but are not limited to: Improved material availability and readiness Reduction of administrative and production lead times Enhanced demand forecasting and supply chain integration Single point of accountability for F135 material support Quality and performance improvements This notice is issued to satisfy the 30-day notification requirement prior to solicitation release.
It does not constitute a solicitation, request for proposals, or commitment by the Government to proceed with bundling. A formal solicitation, if issued, will be released in accordance with applicable regulations. Please note the contract number listed in this annoucement is not a valid contract number.
An entry was required in order to post this announcement. This procurement has not yet been awarded, and therefore no contract number exists at the time of this post. Interested parties should monitor SAM.gov for any future notices related to this requirement.
