The Department of the Air Force, Air Force Materiel Command, Air Force Life Cycle Management Center, Air Force Security Assistance and Cooperation (AFSAC) Directorate has a continuing requirement for a Parts Repair Ordering System (PROS) contract.

The purpose of the AFSAC PROS program is to provide acquisition services for nonstandard and difficult-to-support standard items, and act as a contracting vehicle to award task orders for specialized, technical services in support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) customers. The AFSAC PROS contract will be a performance-based service acquisition; the Prime Contractor will provide and execute a vehicle to procure supply items, maintenance support services, and the management of task orders. This effort will be tri-service, supporting Air Force, Navy, and Army FMS customers.

• The objectives of the PROS contract are to provide timely support, competitive pricing, quality service, and quality program management. The PROS program goal is to provide “onestop shopping” for our FMS customers. Contractors should expect difficulty in predicting what parts or repairs our foreign customers will need at any given time to sustain their diverse weapon systems. The historical average for repeated procurement is less than 1.5%. Contractors should also be aware that supply and repair items may have long lead times, and the Prime Contractor cannot invoice until shipment occurs. The current PROS program provides parts and repair ordering capability to over 100 countries possessing nearly 11,000 aircraft and hundreds of different weapon systems. These systems date from the 1940s to present day. Orders will range from within the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (approximately 90% of the current workload) to over $5M for replacement of major aircraft or ship parts and support equipment. Filling a requisition includes verifying the requirement, locating multiple vendors, competing the procurement, documenting the procurement in a pricing memorandum, awarding orders, monitoring vendor performance, and administering the requisition through delivery.Approximately 75% of current supply actions are non-standard: not stored, stocked, issued, or managed by the U.S. Air Force and do not have an associated National Stock Number (NSN). Standard items with an NSN account for approximately 25% of the remaining actions and are waived by the U.S. Air Force for supply action usually due to inability to meet an established need date. However, the managing U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) source of supply restricts acquisitions to only U.S. DoD approved sources. Approximately 22,000 supply requisitions and 4,500 maintenance requisitions are issued per year. Approximately 80% of the contract actions are supply; the remaining 20% are maintenance and task orders.
