Solicitation 47QSCC23R0008 is amended as follows.

1. E.6.1 General Instructions Section e is replaced with the following:

e) Offerors shall submit their proposal documents in soft copy electronic versions. The contents of each volume must be submitted together simultaneously, although the Government will accept multiple emails submitted together due to size limitations (see further explanation below regarding multiple emails). All documents must be in Microsoft Office 2007 or Adobe Acrobat

9.4 or later version, in a searchable format. Electronic proposal documents shall be consolidated by volume. If documents cannot be grouped within one *.zip file and/or one email, offerors may use multiple emails provided they label each email “Email X of X” (ex. “Email 1 of

3”). Attachments that were uploaded to SAM in Excel format (i.e. Attachment 3, 7, and 8) must be submitted in Excel format. The Excel document is considered part of the applicable volume where the Excel document is specifically listed as part of the Volume contents in the Volume instructions. The Excel document must be submitted with, simultaneously, the rest of the contents of the applicable volume.

2. E.9.8, Instructions for Volume 3 – Price Proposal, is amended as follows. Changes are in bold underlined red or bold red strikethrough.

Note: Volume 3 will only be requested from offerors that receive an “Acceptable” rating or higher for Factors 1, 2, and 7; a “some confidence” or higher for Factor 3, a “somewhat relevant” or higher for Factor 4, and a “satisfactory” for Factor 6.

Offerors shall submit an electronic copy of Volume 3 in the format indicated under section

Tab Specific Notes

Tab 1: Volume 3 must include a table of contents summarizing the contents of the volume.

Tab 2-a: See below submission requirements for Factor 9, pricing proposal.

Tab 2-b: The pricing proposal must include the offeror’s plan to decrease pricing as inflation and global supply chain costs go down in the future. The plan must discuss how the contractor will utilize the EPA clause to request price decreases, and how decreasing costs will be monitored by the offeror to ensure price reductions are submitted when appropriate.

Tab 2-c: The offeror may utilize this section to explain their markup percentages and other pricing information. The document must also include the market indicator being used proposed for annual increases in accordance with the EPA clause section (b). This market indicator may be negotiated prior to award.

Tab 3: Offerors who are Other Than Small Businesses under the applicable NAICS for this procurement must submit a subcontracting plan as part of Volume 1. The subcontracting plan must be in accordance with FAR 19.704 and FAR 52.219-9. GSA expects offerors to thoroughly review the requirements set forth in FAR 19.704, Subcontracting Plan

Requirements and FAR Clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan before submitting their subcontracting plans. Any offeror required to submit a subcontracting plan, and either fails to provide one or provides one that does not meet the subcontracting requirements will be removed from consideration for being non-responsive. If subcontracting goals cannot be negotiated and agreed to by both parties (Government and apparent awardee) prior to award, then the Contracting Officer may determine that an award cannot be made to the offeror and may award to the next apparent awardee. The offeror’s compliance with

47QSCC23R0008 Amendment 0002 Page 4 of 5 subcontracting plans on previous contracts may also be considered in the responsibility determination per FAR 19.705.

3. E.9.8.1, Pricing Proposal, is amended as follows:

General Pricing Information

The Price Volume must address all pricing requirements listed in the solicitation.

Submission

The pricing proposal must include an Excel spreadsheet using the format at Attachment 7. All fill-in sections and tabs of Attachment 7 must be filled out and submitted by the offeror. The information filled in by the contractor must be numerical prices in US Dollars, except where percentage is specifically allowed. No additional information is allowed. Information outside of columns labeled “Offeror Fill-In”, with fill-in cells shaded with color, will not be evaluated or considered. See page count limitations in chart under Section E.9.8, above. The pricing proposal must also include the chart at solicitation section B.6, with the Total Estimated Value filled out by the offeror for each CLIN (CLIN 0001, 0002, 0003, 0004, and 0005), and with the Total

Estimated Contract Value filled out by the offeror. 1 page is allowed in order to submit this chart; see page count limitations under section E.9.8, above.

The Excel spreadsheet using the format at Attachment 7 must list, for each delivery zone (Zone

1, Zone 2, and Zone 3):

• The material price per NSN item;

• The markup amount, stated both in terms of US Dollars and percentage of material price, for each NSN. The markup amount must be inclusive of sourcing, management, transportation, general and administrative expenses, overhead, taxes, packaging, delivery, anticipated profits, and any other direct and indirect cost associated with this requirement;

• The final per-unit Firm Fixed Price (FFP) for each NSN. The per-unit FFP encompasses the material price and the markup discussed above.

Note that while the offeror must fill out for each zone (Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3) the material price, the markup, and the final per-unit FFP, the pricing for each Zone is not required to be different (i.e. the offeror may propose the same per-unit price for Zone 1 and for Zone 2, if the offeror chooses to do so).

For each zone (Zone 1, Zone 2, and Zone 3), the per-unit FFP for each NSN is then multiplied by the estimated quantity to calculate the Extended FFP. The Extended FFP for Zone 1, the extended FFP for Zone 2, and the Extended FFP for Zone 3 are then added together to calculate the Total Extended Price., 47QSCC23R0008 Amendment 0002 Page 5 of 5

The Total Extended Prices for each NSN are added together to calculate the Total Estimated

Price for that performance period.

The offeror must fill out the above for each contract period (Base Period, Option Period 1, Option Period 2, Option Period 3, and Option Period 4). Annual pricing must be in accordance with the EPA clause with escalation in accordance with EPA clause (b).

The sum of the Total Estimate Price of each contract period is the Total Estimated Contract

Value.

Note: Contractors must propose pricing for all items in Attachment 3. Pricing format is included at Attachment 7.

3. Attachment 7 is replaced with the attached version, titled Updated Attachment 7 Pricing Template Amendment 2.
