Quick Summary
The Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFLCMC) is conducting market research via a Sources Sought Notice for In-transit Inspection Point (IIP) services for the Worldwide Warehouse Redistribution Services (WWRS) Program. This initiative seeks to identify capable sources for managing and transferring excess serviceable support equipment and spare parts from Foreign Military Sales (FMS) countries. Responses are due by March 9, 2026, at 1:00 p.m. EST.
Purpose & Context
This Sources Sought Notice (SSN) is for market research, planning, and information purposes only; it is not a solicitation and does not guarantee a future contract award. The U.S. Government (USG) aims to identify responsible potential sources with the expertise, capabilities, and experience to meet the requirements. Information gathered will assist in developing the acquisition strategy, including determining if the effort can be competitive or a total small business set-aside. Foreign-owned, foreign-controlled companies, and foreign nationals are explicitly not allowed to participate.
Scope of Work
The required IIP services include:
- Receipt and Inspection: Visually inspecting, verifying, and documenting materiel serviceability (Federal Condition Code "A") against Redistribution Orders (RDOs).
- Processing: Sanitization, marking, and packaging according to MIL-STD-2073-1E (Level A/B or higher), MIL-STD-129R, and MIL-STD-130N(1).
- Logistics: Secure storage, preparing documentation (DD forms 1387, 1348), coordinating with freight forwarders, and ensuring timely shipment to the buyer's designated freight forwarder.
- Documentation & Liaison: Uploading inspection reports and shipment data to AFSAC On-line (AOL), and providing daily IIP liaison support at the WWRS Program Management Office (PMO) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base (WPAFB), OH.
- Disposal: Managing materiel disposal as instructed by the WWRS PMO.
Historically, the program processes approximately 54 shipments per month, with materiel values ranging from $1.2M to $3.9M.
Key Requirements & Eligibility
- NAICS Code: 488991 (Packaging and Crating) with a $34M size standard.
- Certifications: Contractors must be certified with MIL-I-45208 Inspection Procedures or ISO 9000/9001/9002.
- Security: Personnel require a favorable NACI or equivalent investigation.
- IT Systems: Compatibility with AFSAC On-line (AOL) and the WWRS Logistics system.
- Registration: All prospective contractors must be registered in SAM.gov.
- Small Business: Highly encouraged; a set-aside may be considered if sufficient interest and capability are demonstrated, with prime contractors performing at least 50% of the effort (FAR 52.219-14).

Interested parties should submit a capability package, not exceeding 15 pages, that clearly demonstrates their ability to meet the requirements.
