--The U.S. Army TACOM, Warren, Michigan, invites your responses to a Market Survey Questionnaire. Visit this link to view the market survey: http://contracting.tacom.army.mil/majorsys/customerpay/customerpay.htm

Our goal is to determine contractor interest in a CUSTOMER PAY * contract in which the contractor will supply spare/repair parts to the ongoing High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) Recapitalization (RECAP) Program at Red River Army Dep ot (RRAD), Texarkana TX. The HMMWV RECAP program receives M998 configuration HMMWVs from field units, disassembles, replaces targeted parts and components, remanufactures others and rebuilds the vehicle to an M1097 configuration. The vehicle is at that p oint a zero miles, zero hours platform ready for issue to tactical formations. The spare/repair parts are to support the RECAP line; major assemblies such as engines and transmissions are not included. It is anticipated that the start date will be Octobe r 2005 and run for one year (FY06). The Government anticipates funding to be available for the completion of between 660 and 3,600 HMMWVs during FY 2006. An option for an additional year (FY07) may be included, if the Government determines approximate re quirements before issuance of the solicitation. * CUSTOMER PAY is a DoD initiative to optimize the supply chain by having DoD pay for materiel only when delivered for point of consumption use to the end user. The objective is to move the point of inspect ion and point of sale to the point of use. The concept involves the Contractor owning, managing, and delivering inventory to the customer. The billing and payment cycle begins at the time of use by (or delivery to) the customer.
