The Government anticipates any resultant contract to include terms and conditions for one (1) five (5) year base period and three (3) five (5) year option periods. Subsumable contracts will be issued to ordering agencies not to exceed the ten-year period authorized by 10 U.S.C. 3403(f), unless appropriate approval is obtained.

The umbrella contract will allow for, but is not limited by, Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF), CPFF with Incentives, Cost Reimbursement (CR), Firm Fixed-Price (FFP), Level of Effort (LOE), FFP with Incentives, and Time and Materials (T&M), and Award Fee type delivery orders and task orders. This will be conducted under FAR Part 12 Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation, and FAR 6.302-1 Only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.

The proposed action is for performance-based supply chain management and logistics support for systems manufactured by RTX. In addition to parts, the support may include holistic support and logistics management services, including but not limited to wholesale supply and logistics support, inventory management, maintenance planning, configuration management, repair development, repair of repairables, and sustainment engineering associated with a RTX system, and/or end item. It may also include additive manufacturing solutions, depot-level maintenance, depot-level support, material management, engineering support and sustainment elements, packaging, storage, transportation, reliability improvements, and field engineering support.
