From Commander, Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers Public Affairs

SAN DIEGO (NNS) -- Fleet and Industrial Supply Centers (FISCs) Jacksonville, Norfolk, Pearl Harbor, Puget Sound and San Diego will no longer accept end-of-fiscal-year (FY) 2008 expiring funds requirements effective Aug. 28.

The contracting offices at these FISCs have reached capacity with almost 8,000 procurement actions in process. All new non-urgent Requests for Contractual Procurement (RCPs) submitted on or after Aug. 28 will be returned to the customer marked as follows:

"Your requirement was received after the advertised due dates for FY-08 COMFISCS Expiring Funds Requirements. We regret we are no longer able to accept FY-08 expiring funds requirements. Please consult your local FISC contracting office if you have any urgent requirements that will impact operational readiness, safety of personnel or result in destruction of government property."

The following RCPs will continue to be accepted:

1. RCPs with a Whiskey Requisition number beginning with G or W in the first position of the last four digits of the requisition serial number; for example, R21297-6214-W058 (CASREPs).

2. Amendments to existing RCPs.

3. RCPs citing FY-09 funding (next fiscal year renewals).

The following RCPs will continue to be accepted on a case-by-case basis until capacity is reached:

1. Any urgent requirements that will impact operational readiness, safety of personnel or result in destruction of government property. Please consult your local FISC contracting office if you have any of these requirements.

2. RCPs going to FISC Sigonella or FISC Yokosuka for work within their areas of responsibility.

3. NMCI work ("Yes" in NMCI-related block); Contract Number: N00024-00-D-6000

4. RCPs specifying an "Option Exercise," or "Exercise of an Option."

Until Sept. 30, the Contracting Corporate Board (CCB) will screen any manually submitted RCPs and accept and assign only truly urgent work that can be statutorily completed. This is necessary to ensure COMFISCS can complete customer requirements already in house.
