Respondents must demonstrate the ability to provide all labor, materials, facilities, equipment, and supply‑chain management—including procurement of component parts, long‑lead‑time and DMSMS mitigation, logistics planning, forecasting, and shipping of serviceable assets—for an estimated annual quantity of 34 units. The effort will require a robust project‑management approach that meets tight schedules, cost containment, performance tracking, key‑personnel retention, and risk mitigation, and will be performed under a performance‑based service contract. Interested parties should submit (1) basic company data (name, address, contact information, ownership type) and (2) a tailored capability statement with supporting documentation of organizational and staff expertise; any anticipated subcontracting or teaming arrangements must include the proposed administrative and management structure. Responses are voluntary, not a solicitation, and must be emailed to Robert Winchester (robert.winchester@dla.mil) by 13:00 EST, 21 April 2026. Questions may be directed to Shante’l Wyche (Shante’l.Wyche@dla.mil). The requirement may be set‑aside for small businesses or competed openly, with the possibility of multiple awards.
