    Description

    The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is seeking sources for the procurement of Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P) Installation Kits, which are critical for integrating JBC-P systems into U.S. Army vehicles.

This acquisition is vital for enhancing the operational capabilities of the Army, and interested suppliers must submit their capability information, including a completed Contractor Questionnaire, by January 16, 2025. For further inquiries, potential respondents can contact Michael Toscan at michael.r.toscan.civ@army.mil or Darrick Kibble at darrick.l.kibble.ctr@army.mil.

    The document outlines the procedures for requesting Technical Data Packages (TDPs) related to a specific acquisition under the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR). Companies seeking the TDP must submit requests to a designated DLA email address within seven days of the posting date. To receive the TDP, companies must have an active status in the Defense Logistics Agency Joint Certification Program (JCP) and submit a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA) alongside their request. Additionally, a valid DD2345 certification and CAGE verification in the System for Award Management (SAM) are required. Once verified, the TDP will be made accessible via the DoD SAFE platform, at which point the requester will receive the necessary access information. The document underscores the importance of ensuring the NDA signee and JCP data custodian are the same individual, emphasizing the necessity for accurate and updated information in the JCP portal. This process aligns with federal guidelines for safeguarding sensitive defense-related information in relation to government RFPs and grants.
    The Contractor Questionnaire outlines a structured approach for businesses to respond to a government request for proposals (RFP) related to the manufacturing and supply of specific kits. The document requests a company overview, including its core competencies and relevant contact details, such as Company Name, Address, and identification numbers. It emphasizes the need for detailed descriptions of past performance, manufacturing capabilities for varying quantities, and strategies for sourcing both electronic and mechanical components. Key elements include identifying potential sourcing issues, handling Department of Defense (DoD) Technical Data Packages (TDPs), and managing obsolescence issues that could affect delivery. The questionnaire also inquires about delivery lead times, compliance with DoD requirements, and experiences with First Article testing. Overall, the document serves to gather comprehensive information to evaluate a contractor’s suitability for fulfilling government contract obligations regarding specialized kits while ensuring adherence to strict quality and delivery standards.
    The document is a Use and Non-Disclosure Agreement related to the Joint Battle Command-Platform (JBC-P) Installation Kits, outlined under SAM.GOV Notice ID: DLA-Aberdeen-25-008. It provides a framework for a Recipient, representing a business entity, to access technical data or software from the government with specific restrictions on usage. Key points include the responsibility of the Recipient to use the provided data only for government purposes, to protect the data with proper security measures, and to notify the original Contractor regarding the receipt of data. The Agreement specifies conditions under which the data can be used or disclosed, mandates destruction of the data within 30 days upon termination, and establishes that the Contractor retains rights as a third-party beneficiary. The effectiveness of the Agreement extends until November 6, 2025, with obligations surviving its termination. This document serves as a protective measure for sensitive governmental data, ensuring compliance while facilitating market consultations and potential contracting opportunities in defense-related projects.
