The offeror shall produce both the Product Demonstration Model and the production quantity at the same facility and certifies to this effect by their submission of the Product Demonstration Model. Failure of models to conform to all requirements of CG/PD-15-01 and/or 15-02 may result in an unfavorable evaluation of the offer. (c) Products delivered under any resultant contract shall conform to the specification/commercial product description. Approval of the Product Demonstration Model (PDM) as part of the technical proposal does not relieve the potential awardee from the requirements of the specification/commercial product description of the RFP. Additionally, approved PDMs will not serve as a manufacturing standard. (d) The use of alternate materials is not permitted with the exception of the basic fabric. Garments do not have to be Permethrin treated for the purposes of the PDM. RFID tags are not required for the PDM.

The Product Demonstration Models will be evaluated for conformance to the required specifications and reported as PASS or FAIL. Offers of products meeting this threshold requirement will then be evaluated based on the following Factor: 2. TECHNICAL-Non-Cost/Price Evaluation Factors- Past Performance - Performance Confidence Assessment Aspects: a. Past Performance Recency Your Past Performance Recency will be evaluated by using your PPIRS-SR score for Federal Supply Class (FSC) 8410 & 8415. If a vendor does not have a score, submit below information. If no information exists for the offers cage as well as the proposed places of performance cage you will be rated neutral. List the cage code for all places of performance proposed on subject solicitation. The offeror shall describe the extent of experience producing the same or similar item(s) for a commercial or Government entity within three years preceding the solicitation closing date. For each contract, the offeror shall provide:(1) Name of Customer.(2) The contract/order number.(3) Date of the contract/order.(4) The commercial or Government entity point of contact (name, address and telephone number).b. Past Performance Relevancy Your Past Performance Relevancy will be evaluated by using your PPIRS-SR score for Federal Supply Class (FSC) 8410 & 8415. If a vendor does not have a score, submit below information. If no information exists for the offers cage as well as the proposed places of performance cage you will be rated neutral. List the cage code for all places of performance proposed on subject solicitation.For each contract identified in response to paragraph (a) above, the offeror shall provide:(1) Average dollar amount of the contract per annum.(2) Total contract/order quantity.(3) Quantity shipped per month.(4) Period of performance.(5) Brief description of the item(s), including the National Stock Number (NSN) and specification number, if applicable.(6) Brief explanation of how the items are similar in construction/complexity to the items being solicited, if applicable. If you have not made items of the same or similar construction, explain how you will accomplish this should you be the successful offeror.(7) Were there any extraordinary actions to satisfy customer needs (be specific)? c. Quality of Products i. Quality of ItemsQuality of Items for each contract identified in response to paragraph (a) above, the offeror shall:-Describe the quality of items delivered in the three years preceding the solicitation closing date. For substandard quality, the offeror shall specifically address any warranty actions taken; quality deficiency reports issued, or returned merchandise (including one-for-one exchanges). The description of the problem shall also include an explanation for its occurrence, a clear plan or evidence of measures taken to preclude a recurrence and whether or not it was the offeror's fault or subject to mitigating circumstances.ii. Delivery Performance Your delivery performance will be evaluated by using your PPIRS-SR score for Federal Supply Class (FSC) 8410 & 8415. If a vendor does not have a score, submit below information. If no information exists for the offers cage as well as the proposed places of performance cage you will be rated neutral.For each contract identified in response to paragraph (a) above, the offeror shall:(1) Specifically indicate whether the items were delivered on time, ahead of or behind schedule. If the items were not delivered on time, the offeror shall also provide the number of days delivered ahead of or behind schedule, whether revised delivery schedules were granted and an explanation for any delivery extensions. For delinquent delivery, the description shall also include an explanation for its occurrence, a clear plan or evidence of measures taken to preclude a recurrence and whether or not the problem was the offeror's fault, otherwise excusable or subject to mitigating circumstances. NOTE: The Recency, the Relevancy, and the Quality of Products are of equal importance. The first non-cost or non-price evaluation factor of PDM(s) is the most important technical factor as it clearly shows an offerors capability and understanding of the specification. The second non-cost or non-price evaluation technical factor is Past Performance - Performance Confidence Assessment is the second important factor which evaluates the responsibility and reliability of an offeror based on the relevancy of past performance and the quality and delivery performance under commercial and Government contracts. Technical Evaluation (PDM) and Past Performance Evaluation are independent evaluations and will not be combined to arrive at an overall score. The Product Demonstration Models will be evaluated for conformance to the required specifications and provided Major Defects and reported as PASS or FAIL. Offers of products meeting this threshold requirement will then be evaluated based on the Past Performance Evaluation Factor. The best value trade off will be based on past performance and price, with past performance being significantly more important than price. Proposals will be evaluated for both technical merit and price reasonableness following the evaluation procedures in this solicitation. The DOD is committed to applying "Best Value" contracting as a means to rely on industry for timely delivery of quality products, while reducing the Government's administrative costs associated with contractor oversight. To this end, we are evaluating factors in addition to price under this solicitation. Since effective production and quality control practices translate into better quality products, fewer delinquencies, reduced administrative costs and lower overall cost to the Government, we will be using your Technical Proposal to assess the efficiency of your production methods and the effectiveness of your quality control procedures. Moreover, those offerors who consistently demonstrate an ability to deliver on time while consistently improving the quality of the products they produce will receive more favorable consideration than those who do not. You may provide additional technical information you believe will enhance your proposal; however, overly elaborate presentations are not desired. Failure to provide the information requested may render the offeror's proposal technically unacceptable. The Government reserves the right to verify the information provided for evaluation purposes. Offerors are required to submit a technical proposal consisting of: 1) Product Demonstration Model (PDM) and 2) Past Performance - Performance Confidence Assessment as part of their offer, and proposals must be received before the time set forth for solicitation closing. The technical proposal will be evaluated to determine compliance with all characteristics listed for evaluation in the solicitation (Additional Source Selection Evaluation Procedures). Failure to furnish this information by the time specified in the solicitation may be cause for rejection of offers if not otherwise acceptable under the provisions for considering late offers. Cost and Pricing Data: A full cost and pricing proposal is not required; however, the offeror may be required to submit information other than cost and pricing data during discussions. Therefore, offerors are cautioned to retain cost proposal worksheets, vendor quotations, and related support information. PRODUCTION DEMONSTRATION MODEL - CAUTION NOTICE IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL OFFERORS READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS NOTICE: This solicitation requires submission of Product Demonstration Models (PDM) at time of closing as specified in this document. The purpose of the PDM is to demonstrate the offeror's ability to translate from the specification to an actual end item. This will also confirm the offeror's degree of understanding of the requirements of the specification and solicitation. The PDM will demonstrate the offeror's capability to produce the end item free of defects and in accordance with the Specification, Commercial Item Description or Purchase Description. Consequently, this solicitation will permit only an initial submission of the PDM with the offeror's proposal at the time and date of initial closing of the solicitation; offerors will not be given the opportunity to present subsequent submissions to correct deficiencies noted in the Government's evaluation of initial PDMs. Therefore, it is IMPERATIVE that offerors put forth their best effort in constructing this PDM. Any correction to the PDM will not be permitted and will not be accepted by the Government. Subsequent PDM submission will not be permitted under this acquisition. It is acknowledged that this is a departure from previous acquisitions requiring PDMs wherein offerors were given the opportunity to correct deficiencies during negotiations. However, to repeat, additional PDM submission will not be accepted by the Government in the event of discussions/negotiations conducted after the initial closing of the solicitation. An offeror's PDM will be rated only one time - after initial submission with no opportunity for subsequent evaluations or submissions by the offeror. In any resulting contract, only the specifications, standards, patterns, drawings, etc. cited in the contract will control contract compliance. FAILURE TO SUBMIT A PDM WILL CAUSE THE OFFEROR'S ENTIRE PROPOSAL TO BE REJECTED Proposals will be evaluated for both Technical Merit and Price Reasonableness following the evaluation procedures in this solicitation. This attachment has been formatted to assist you in preparing a complete technical proposal. In order to provide full consideration of your qualification for contract award, you are encouraged to ensure that the information furnished in support of your technical proposal is factual, accurate, and complete. 1. The DOD is committed to applying "Best Value" contracting as means to rely on industry for timely delivery of quality products. 2. You may provide additional technical information you believe will enhance your proposal, however, overly elaborate presentations are not desired. 3. Failure to provide the information requested may render your proposal technically unacceptable. 4. The Government reserves the right to verify the information provided for evaluation purposes. Section M EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD (JUL 1998) DLA TROOP SUPPORT (a) The Government will make award to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforms with the solicitation and is most advantageous to the Government, cost or price, and other evaluation factors considered. The Government will award a contract only to concerns whose technical proposals establish that they can meet the requirements of the Government. For this solicitation, all evaluation factors other than cost or price, when combined, are - [ ] significantly less important than cost or price. As the evaluated cost/price becomes more equal, relative importance of all other evaluation factors becomes more significant. [ ] approximately equal to cost or price. [X] significantly more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important. (b) Technical and Non-Cost/Price Evaluation Factors (listed in descending order of importance): Factor 1: Product Demonstration Model (PDM) Sub-factor (a): ODU Shirt PDM (USED TO EVALUATE OFFERS FOR LOT 0001 AND/OR 0002) Elements i. Manufacturing Operations ii. Visual Examination iii. Dimensional Examination Sub-factor (b): ODU Trouser PDM (USED TO EVALUATE OFFERS UNDER LOT 0002) Elements i. Manufacturing Operations ii. Visual Examination iii. Dimensional Examination Factor 2-Past Performance - Performance Confidence Assessment Sub-factor (a): Recency Sub-factor (b): Relevancy Sub-factor (c): Quality of Performance Elements i. Quality of Products ii. Delivery Performance o Regarding Lot 0001:A. A failing rating in either the elements or subfactor for the ODU Coat will result in a failure for the overall PDM factor and the offeror will be removed from the competition.o Regarding Lot 0002A. A failing rating in either the elements or subfactor for ODU Trouser will result in a failure for the overall PDM factor and the offeror will be removed from the competition. Note Well: •1. The offeror shall produce both the PDM and the production quantity at the same facility and certify to this effect by submission of the PDM. •2. Approval of the PDM as part of this technical proposal does not relieve the potential awardee from the requirements of the RFP. •3. Manufacturing operations for the placement of labels must be completed to indicate compliance with the label requirements. The label need not be printed for the purpose of submission models; however, the model size must be indicated on a medium that is attached to the model. •4. PDM(s) are required for each place of performance. A failing rating on any PDM will result in an overall failing rating for the PDM evaluation and will result in the rejection of the offer as being unacceptable. NOTE: Technical Evaluation and Past Performance Evaluation are independent evaluations and will not be combined to arrive at an overall score. Past Performance Evaluation is more important than the Technical Evaluation. When taken together, the two evaluations are significantly more important than price. The following rating shall be utilized to evaluate Past Performance and the Technical Factor (PDMs): •1. Past Performance Evaluation: The following rating symbology will be utilized to arrive at the overall rating for PastPerformance. The rating is arrived at by combining and applying equal weight to the PastPerformance Relevancy subfactor and Past Performance Quality and Delivery Performance subfactor. This overall rating is known as the Performance Confidence Assessment: PAST PERFORMANCE: Performance Confidence Assessment Substantial ConfidenceBased on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a highexpectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. • Satisfactory ConfidenceBased on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has areasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. • Limited ConfidenceBased on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a lowexpectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. • No ConfidenceBased on the offeror's recent/relevant performance record, the Government has noexpectation that the offeor will be able to successfully perform the required effort. • Unknown Confidence (Neutral)No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror's performance record isso sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, volume of business and general trends in performance will be considered. Offerors may be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance and the offeror's response or lack thereof will be taken into consideration. Since the anticipated offerors have varying degrees of relevant past performance as it relates to these items, the Government will utilize the following rating scale to evaluate Past Performance Relevancy: PAST PERFORMANCE: Relevancy Subfactor Ratings: Very RelevantPresent/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude ofeffort and complexities this solicitation requires. RelevantPresent/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort andcomplexities this solicitation requires. Somewhat RelevantPresent/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort andcomplexities this solicitation requires. Not RelevantPresent/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude ofeffort and complexities this solicitation requires. The following adjectival comparison will be utilized to evaluate the Past Quality and Delivery Performance: PAST PERFORMANCE:Quality and Delivery Performance Subfactor Ratings • OutstandingAn overall Outstanding rating indicates the offeror's past performance record consistentlymeets or exceeds contract requirements. Past contractual performance has beenaccomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offerorhave been highly effective. • GoodAn overall Good rating indicates the offeror's past performance record consistently meetsor exceeds contract requirements. Past contractual performance has been accomplishedwith some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror have beeneffective. • AcceptableAn overall Acceptable rating indicates the offeror's past performance record met contractrequirements. Offeror's record of past performance contains reports of some minorproblems for which corrective actions taken by the offeror appear to have been or wereacceptable. • MarginalAn overall Marginal rating indicates the offeror's past performance record has not metsome contract requirements. Offeror's record of past performance contains reports ofserious problems for which the offeror did not identify corrective actions or proposedcorrective actions that were only marginally effective or were not fully implemented. • UnacceptableAn overall Unacceptable rating indicates the offeror's past performance record has notmet most contractual requirements, recovery was not accomplished in a timely mannerand proposed corrective actions appear or were ineffective. • NeutralThe offeror has no relevant record of past performance. Offeror will not be ratedfavorably or unfavorably. •2. Technical Factor - Product Demonstration Models:•a. Product Demonstration Model(s)•1. Conformance to visual requirement of the specification•2. Conformance to dimensional requirements of the specification•3. Conformance to manufacturing requirements of the specification Product Demonstration Model(s) Ratings: Product Demonstration ModelPASS Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate. The proposal's strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on the contract performance when the PDM substantially meets the stated requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e., specification: commercial item description; purchase description, etc.), but the PDM does not contain a weakness; contains a weakness or weaknesses that are either easily correctable in production or require preventative corrective action in production. FAIL Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Proposal does not meet requirements and contains significant deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable. The PDM substantially fails to meet many significant designs and/or other requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e. specification: commercial item description; purchase description, etc.) and indicates a lack of understanding of the technical requirements. The PDM exhibits a significant weakness or weaknesses determined by the evaluation team that render the PDM completely unacceptable for its intended function. The PDM cannot become acceptable without extensive corrective action or remedy that would be tantamount to a new PDM. PRICE EVALUATION For each item the total price will be calculated by taking the offeror's proposed unit price and multiplying it by the corresponding evaluation quantity. This calculation will be done for each of the performance periods (base and option years). The total price for each item (inclusive of options) will be summed together to arrive at the total proposal price. The total proposal price of each offeror will be compared against the other offerors.Note: This evaluation does not necessarily determine the pricing to be fair and reasonable. Pricing for each item will need to be determined fair and reasonable. Additionally, pricing significantly unbalanced between any of the performance periods may result in a determination that the pricing cannot be determined fair and reasonable. Failure to determine the pricing fair and reasonable may result in the removal of the offeror from award consideration.
