C-130 HOLISTIC STRATEGIC EFFORT

This is a notification of DLA Aviation's intention to bundle approximately 8,900 National Stock Numbers (NSNs) into a procurement for C-130 performance based supply chain management support. SPE4AX22XR0005 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 Lockheed Martin Corporation. 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 Aviation 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 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 of acquisition cycle times 5) Better terms and conditions 6) Anticipated quantified savings of at least five (5) percent of the estimated contract value including options A virtual small business industry day will be held prior to the issuance of the solicitation in spring 2022, the exact date to be determined.
