Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program

The Logistics Technology Research (LTR) Program is exploring the application of emergent technologies and commercial or other innovative business practices to develop new capabilities and improved Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) processes to sustain Department of Defense (DOD) weapon systems. LTR seeks to develop and demonstrate capabilities with beneficial application across one or more DLA Major Subordinate Commands (MSCs) or HQ Process Owners.

LTR is a DLA-sponsored logistics R&D program with a mission to conduct research and development projects to provide improved capabilities and methods for delivery of parts and services to DLA’s customers. Problems addressed by LTR are usually, although not always, associated with DLA management of weapon system parts in Supply Class IX, although the R&D solutions can be deployed to additional areas of DLA’s business processes. LTR projects address problems faced by the Troop Support, Aviation, and Land and Maritime MSCs and several DLA Headquarters Process Owners.

Offerors are encouraged to propose innovative solutions within the scope of the LTR. Equal consideration will be given to all approaches that enable improved processes aligning with the DOD and DLA Director’s Strategic Initiatives.
