Subject:
P3 Aircraft Life Extension Program (ASLEP) Variable
Pricing Request for Proposal
Dear P3 Supplier,
Lockheed Martin Aeronautics has recently received formal requests
for proposals (RFP) from the Taiwanese Government for twelve (12)
Wing Kits and the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol for a total of
nine (9) Wing Kits, in order to provide critical hardware in
support of their ongoing P-3 Aircraft Service Life Extension
Programs (ASLEP). In addition to these current inquires, there
remains significant potential P-3 ASLEP business opportunity with
Lockheed Martin’s other U.S. Government Customers. In order to
capture this business, your company’s support in providing
detailed P3 hardware pricing during this RFP process is vital in
order for Lockheed Martin to provide “responsive” proposals.
Towards this end, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics is issuing Request
for Proposals to obtain Five (5) Year Variable Pricing for P-3
hardware, as outlined in the Pricing Instructions and related
documents contained in the RFP being provided to your company.
Submission of your pricing in the requested format will improve
Lockheed Martin’s ability to respond to its various P-3 Customers
in a timely manner, as well as eliminate our need to make
numerous pricing requests of your company, over the next several
years. As you can see there are definite benefits to be
considered by all parties, to participate in this process and to
complete the requested pricing schedules. Because our customers
consist of both US and foreign government agencies, this pricing
will have to be fully FAR Part 15, Truth-In-Negotiation Act
(TINA) Compliant.
The responsible P-3 Buyer will be sending your company
which will contain a numbered solicitation (which will
the pricing instructions applicable for your package),
list with quantities to be quoted, and any other
attachments.

http://www.lockheedmartin.com/aeronautics/materialmanagement/p3/p
3index.html has been established which contains all pertinent
documents, as well as the Variable Pricing training materials
used during previous Variable Pricing program discussions.
Your proposal response is due no later than 11 February 2008.
Pricing must remain valid through 11 February 2009.
Lockheed Martin looks forward to working with your company to
form a long-term partnership to support a successful P3 Aircraft
Life Extension Program. If you have any questions, please do not
hesitate to contact the buyer who released the RFP to your
company or the undersigned at (770) 494-8667.
