Industrial Base Extension (IBex) Program Industry Capability and Capacity Determination Support for Arctic PACE

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) requires industry capability and capacity determination support through the Industrial Base Extension (IBex) Program to analyze Arctic Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) logistics. This requirement, solicitation SP4701-26-Q-0116, involves market research and industrial base analysis for remote environments where commercial data is scarce. The geographic scope includes the western tip of Alaska, Canada north of 55° latitude, eastern Greenland, Iceland, and the Faroe Islands. Managed by DCSO Philadelphia, the program uses commercial sector expertise to help government planners identify assets for use during contingencies or national emergencies. Amendment 0001 expanded the Statement of Work to include PACE route scoring, infrastructure assessments, and commercial fuel supply chain analysis. This amendment also moved the response deadline to June 30, 2026. Deliverables include a Geospatial Data Package and a Logistics Partner Matrix, with the first report due within 90 days of award. All quotes must include 'Source Selection Information' in the footer. The Industrial Base Extension (IBex) Program helps the Department of Defense operate in remote or hostile areas where commercial data is limited. DLA uses this program to partner with industry experts and identify commercial assets that can support contingency operations or national emergencies. Provide market intelligence for the Arctic Primary, Alternate, Contingency, and Emergency (PACE) research report to support DLA operations in remote environments.
