NAVSUP GLS and Fleet Logistics Centers Establish Earlier Procurement Request Due Dates

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- for Fiscal (FY) 2013 Expiring Funds Procurement Requests and FY 2014 Service Renewal Requirements with Oct. 1st starts are now earlier for all NAVSUP Global Logistics Support (GLS) and NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Centers (FLCs) customers.

The time for submission for all expiring funds requirements for contracts of more than $1 million has already passed, per NAVSUP GLS Customer Advisory 22-12 dated Nov. 19, 2012 and GLS Naval message DTG 152310ZNOV12. Any emergent requirements of more than $1 million will be considered on a case by case basis by each servicing NAVSUP FLC within the bounds and timelines set forth by law and regulation.

For expiring funds requirements under $1 million, revised submission dates follow:

For new and follow-on contracts of $150,000 to $1 million, the due date remains the same: May 1, 2013.

For annual rental or maintenance (ARM) requests of more than $150,000 the new due date is May 15, 2013 (For ARM of $150,000 or less, the new date is June 3, 2013).

For delivery / task orders awarded off an existing contract(s) over $150,000, the new due date is also May 15, 2013.

For the "exercise of option on a current contract" for any dollar amount, the new due date is May 24, 2013.

For purchase and delivery orders from $25,000 to $150,000, the new due date is June 3, 2013.

For purchase and delivery orders of $25,000 or less, the new due date is June 24, 2013.

NAVSUP GLS and NAVSUP FLC Contracting Departments are anticipating a sharp decrease in contracting capacity during our fourth quarter peak period due to sequestration impacts. As a result, customers are requested to prioritize requirements and submit Requests for Contractual Procurement (RCPs) to servicing NAVSUP FLCs as early as possible before pending furlough is implemented and contracting capacity reached.

Early submission of RCPs will enable NAVSUP GLS and FLC's to leverage our limited resources to best meet customer needs. It is further recommended contracting customers have a backup plan for spending expiring funds.

RCPs received after the revised due dates noted above will require review by NAVSUP FLC Chief of the Contracting Office (CCO) to assess feasibility of completion based on staffing capacity and statutory competition requirements.

If accepted, the NAVSUP FLC will make every effort possible to award the contract; but acceptance of late requirements does not guarantee obligation, except for truly urgent requirements (e.g. CASREP, NMCS/PMCS, work stoppage, safety).
