Request for Proposals Attachment 19 Surge Manufacturing and Supply Chain Readiness Assessment

ATTACHMENT 19

Surge Manufacturing and Supply Chain Readiness Assessment Upon written direction from the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), the Contractor must submit a Surge Manufacturing and Supply Chain Readiness Assessment for the BARDA supported product. The requirement must identify, or the COR must provide, the applicable planning scenario, target quantity, product presentation, requested delivery timeline, planning assumptions, due date, and any relevant public health emergency context. The assessment must evaluate the Contractor’s ability to manufacture, test, release, package, store, ship, and deliver the product under the specified planning scenario. The assessment must identify production constraints, component and service constraints, supply chain constraints, logistics constraints, and potential Government actions that may support timely performance. Depending on the assessment planning scenario specified, the assessment must include, to the extent applicable and reasonably available at the time of submission: 1. Proposed manufacturing and delivery approach for the specified planning scenario. 2. Expected production cadence, batch or lot assumptions, cycle time, testing time, release time, packaging time, storage requirements, shipment timing, and projected finished product availability.
3. Manufacturing, testing, release, packaging, storage, shipment, component, service, supplier, distributor, or manufacturer constraints that may affect the requested delivery timeline. 4. Components or services expected to be limiting factors, including known source availability, lead time, shelf life, storage condition, transportation restriction, foreign source status, single source or sole source status, and alternate source status where known. 5. Inventory, replenishment needs, ordering constraints, and timing risks for components or services needed to support the specified planning scenario. 6. Supply chain nodes for which Government action may support the requested timeline. 7. Mitigation options, alternate sources, unresolved dependencies, and decision points requiring Contractor or Government action.
8. Contractor points of contact and proposed status update cadence if the planning scenario proceeds to an active order, option, or other funded action. The Contractor must promptly notify the COR after identifying a material change that could affect the assessment, including a change in production availability, component availability, service
