5. 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)

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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
