This subpart prescribes policies and procedures for soliciting offers, awarding contracts, placing orders, and post award administration under DLA’s Tailored Logistics Support Contracting initiatives. Included in this category are Prime Vendor (PV), similar existing support arrangements known as Modified Prime Vendor initiatives (MPV), and future initiatives that have characteristics of PV arrangements, but are not considered traditional PV. This subpart also discusses the management attention required throughout the life of a Tailored Logistics Support contract. It includes a clause to be used when the Government is relying on the Contractor’s purchasing system to verify that the Contractor competed the items or services or to justify fair and reasonable pricing. Any deviation from this subpart must be requested in writing and be approved by the Senior Procurement Executive. Deviations may be requested on a program rather than an individual acquisition basis.
