This Request for Information (RFI) is the initiation of market research under Part 10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and is not a Request for Proposals (RFP).  The Government does not intend to pay for information furnished pursuant to this RFI.

The Defense Logistics Agency - Troop Support (DLA-TS) is conducting market research on various Christian Ecclesiastical Items (see attached listing) to determine an acquisition strategy that will enhance our support of military customers worldwide, as well as to determine what your industry will be capable of providing.  For this reason, DLA - Troop Support would appreciate your company sharing your expertise and insight into how these items can be most efficiently procured.

DLA - Troop Support anticipates issuing a solicitation for these ecclesiastical items around October 2014.  The solicitation is intended to result in a Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Type contract.  A wide variety of items are included - approximately 500 items.  It is anticipated that the contract period will be for a one-year base period and four (4) one-year term option periods. The Government has a unilateral right and is not committed to invoking any option term.  The duration of the entire contract will not exceed five years.

The Government intends to solicit FOB Destination pricing for each item with delivery timeframes of 14, 30 or 60 days depending on the item. Shipments are primarily customer direct with inspection and acceptance of the items to take place at Destination.  All services will be supported by this acquisition - Air Force, Army, Coast Guard, Marine Corps, and Navy.  Therefore, there will be many shipping locations under the contract.  There are approximately 700 -1000 Continental United States (CONUS) shipping addresses to all fifty states as well as Puerto Rico.  All overseas customers (APO/FPO addresses) will be sent to one of two consolidation points in Pennsylvania or California for the Government's shipment to the final destination.

It should be noted that this inquiry, in no way, should be interpreted as a solicitation for offers.  No information provided in response to this inquiry will be considered binding between the vendor and the Government.  With these facts in mind, please review the item schedule of supplies and answer the questions followed.  Please be specific in your responses.  The responses you provide will remain confidential.  Please respond to Earl Joyner at [email protected] by June 30, 2014 at 3:00 pm.

Thank you for your time and consideration.
