PROCUREMENT CYCLE 25% by mid June All requirements are gathered by the end of April Procurement Requests sent to NAVSUP 25% by mid June 25% by mid July 25% by mid August 25% by mid September Contract award lead-time objective: 180 days for competitive or restricted source 240 days for sole source 365 days for basic Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ)
CHALLENGES Standard one year contracts require extensive work for award each year Vendors not providing complete or timely proposals Sole source or competitive one-bid requires extensive cost breakdown data which is adding 4-6 weeks Safety surveys now taking 30 days New Justification & Approval (J&A) requirements taking longer to approve FY17: 106 Procurement Request actions
CHANGING STRATEGY - IDIQ IDIQ: Indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity IDIQ is typically a 3 or 5 year contract Once the basic award is negotiated, follow on delivery orders can be placed quickly (must be within minimum and maximum quantities negotiated at time of basic contract) FY17 included 3 new IDIQ contract efforts FY18 will include 6 new IDIQ efforts
CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION Once contracts are in place the acquisition specialists: Keep track of the delivery schedule Process all contract required deliverables Work with E25 In-Service engineers through Lot Acceptance Testing Monitor deliveries Work closely with E22 Logistics Specialist to report due-ins and help with urgent needs
