B.9 Ordering Information

B.9.1 Issuance of Delivery Orders

B.9.1.1 Fair Opportunity for Consideration One or more delivery orders may be issued during the period of performance of this contract. The Government will provide all awardees a fair opportunity for consideration. In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1), the Contracting Officer will give each awardee a “fair opportunity” to be considered for each order in excess of the applicable Government Purchase Card limitations, unless one of the following conditions applies:

A. The agency need for services is of such urgency that providing an opportunity would result in unacceptable delays and/or, B. Only one awardee is capable of providing the services required at the level of quality required because the services ordered are unique or highly specialized and/or, C. The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to a delivery order already issued under this contract, provided that all awardees were given fair opportunity to be considered for the original order. When deciding whether to negotiate a sole source logical follow-on delivery order with the current contractor consideration will be given to the contractor’s past performance and price, and/or, D. It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

E. For orders exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, a statute expressly authorizes or requires that the purchase be made from a specified source.

F. In accordance with section 1331 of Public Law 111-240 (15 U.S.C. 644(r)), contracting officers may, at their discretion, set aside orders for any of the small business concerns identified in 19.000(a)(3). When setting aside orders for small business concerns, the specific small business program eligibility requirements identified in part 19 apply.

The Contracting Officer has broad discretion in determining which awardee should receive a delivery order.

Proposed price, timeliness, and past performance will always be considered for delivery order award.

Delivery orders may be awarded based on best value on the following factors:

a. The proposed price of the delivery order.

b. Timeliness of submission of an offeror’s response to delivery order proposal request (DOPR). Offeror’s response to DOPR, which are submitted late, may not be considered for award.

c. Past Performance-The Government will review the contractor’s past performance on other delivery orders issued under this contract.

d. Technical Approach

When placing orders, the Contracting Office is not required to prepare formal evaluation plans, score offerors, post notice in the System for Award Management (SAM.gov) or hold discussions or negotiation with each awardee. Even though the Contracting Officer does not have to comply with the competition rules in FAR 6 of the Federal Acquisition Regulations and does not have to conduct discussions before issuing a delivery order, there will be an internal record of why a particular offeror provided the best value on the particular requirements of each delivery order.

The government reserves the right to place multiple delivery orders from a single DOPR. Examples of instances which may require multiple delivery orders include, but are not limited to, situations in which no single vendor can meet FEMA's full requirement for travel trailers, or when FEMA determines that it is in the government's best interest to meet additional, unforeseen disaster survivor needs and/or replenish inventory. Vendors will be notified in individual DOPRs when the government may issue multiple delivery orders and will include detailed evaluation and selection criteria for such orders.

B.9.2 Electronic Delivery Orders The Government anticipates electronic issuance of delivery orders under the contract. Electronic signature technology is in place. It is anticipated the Government will take advantage of such technology and delivery orders will be issued electronically under the contract. If sent via electronic mail, a delivery order is considered issued when the Government sends the electronic order to the Contractor.

B.9.3 Distribution of Delivery Orders It is the Government’s intent to compete delivery orders. During the performance of this contract, the Contracting Officer will, to the best of his/her ability, attempt to compete each delivery order. If at any time the Government determines there is not sufficient time to effectively compete delivery orders, the Government reserves the right to evenly distribute the delivery orders consecutively based on the order of ranking during evaluation for the IDIQ contract award and rotate delivery order awards accordingly.

B.10 Minimum Guaranteed Order The government intends to award multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (multiple award IDIQ) contracts to multiple vendors as a result of this solicitation. Each resultant contract will have a guaranteed minimum order of 5 travel trailers. The government intends to award a delivery order upon award of each of the multiple award IDIQ contracts. This delivery order will satisfy the guaranteed minimum of 5 travel trailers.

B.11 Maximum Contract Ceiling The government intends to award multiple indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (multiple award IDIQ) contracts to multiple vendors as a result of this solicitation. Each resultant contract will have a ceiling of $297,000,000.00. The total contract ceiling for this requirement is $297,000,000.00, and the total of all orders placed against any contract awarded as a result of this solicitation shall not exceed that amount.

Fifth Wheel Trailers (fifth wheel) –The fifth wheel is a towable unit that connects to the tow vehicle directly above the rear axle by way of a special fifth wheel hitch. This causes several feet of the connected trailer to hang over the tow vehicle, placing about 15 to 25% of the trailers weight on the rear axle of the truck. Commercial semi-trucks and trailers use this hitch configuration.

Other terms used for fifth wheel:

5th wheel Fiver

The fifth wheel has one sub-type:

Toy Hauler - The term toy hauler is applied to both fifth wheels and travel trailers, and it describes an RV designed to carry items such as small cars, dune buggies, four wheelers, motorcycles, etc.

Distinguishing features of a toy hauler are the large door in the back which opens down to create a ramp; a dedicated garage area and/or fold-away furniture in the main living compartment; and often has a third axle to support heavy toys.

Laminate/Hard-Shell Walls – A sandwich of structural frame members, wall paneling, insulation, and exterior covering, adhesive-bonded under pressure and/or heat to form the RV’s walls, floor, and/or roof.

Length Measurements of a Travel Trailer – The measurement information provided by travel trailer manufacturers just includes the length of the trailer unit itself and doesn’t include the tongue, hitch, or tow vehicle. Therefore, the overall length of the entire setup requires multiple measurements: the interior, exterior, and overall length.

The interior length of a trailer is how much living space the trailer has, which is one of the easiest measurements to get. It’s simply the length from the front wall to the back wall inside the trailer.

The exterior (floorplan) length should be measured without the trailer tongue.

The overall length is the length of the entire trailer. (length is measured from the front tongue to the rear of the bumper)

Motor Home –an RV that has been built on or incorporates a form of a drivable chassis; it does not require an additional part of a vehicle to move or “drive” the unit.

Motor Home, Class A – A recreational vehicle built on a stripped truck chassis where the driving compartment is an integral part of the RV interior. Class A motor homes have the appearance of a standard bus.

Unlike the Class C motor home, the chassis of a Class A does not come with a driving compartment (or cab). The chassis includes the following major components: frame, engine, fuel tank, axles, drive train, wheels, tires, steering column, engine and braking controls, and dashboard instruments.

Other terms used for Class A motor home:

Coach Motor coach

The Class A motor home has one sub-type:

Bus Conversion – A bus conversion is a commercial passenger bus that has been converted into an RV. Some bus conversions are easy to spot because their previous skin is mostly intact, often resembling a Greyhound bus.

Though not sub-types, some Class As are referred to as a pusher or diesel pusher. A pusher is a motor home with rear mounted engine for the purposes of better accommodating large engines. Two other benefits of having the engine in the rear is the reduced engine noise and the ability to install the main door near the front of the vehicle.

Motor Home, Class B – The Class B motor home is created from a standard passenger or commercial minivan. Most models have raised roofs, but otherwise the living space is constrained by the dimensions of the van. A Class B is usually a term applied to factory-built units; Conversion van is a term applied to units that started out as conventional vans and were subsequently converted to RV's.

Other terms used for Class B motor home:

Camper van Conversion van Van camper

Motor Home, Class C – The Class C motor home, or mini motor home, is a recreation vehicle built on a cut-away van or truck chassis, including the cab. Many Class C motor homes are roughly the size and shape of rental moving trucks.

It differs from the Class A motor home in that the Class C chassis comes with the cab from the manufacturer.

Another distinguishing feature of the Class C is the bed compartment over the cab.

Recreation Vehicle or RV – An RV is a vehicle designed as temporary living quarters for recreational, camping, travel, or seasonal use. RVs may be motorized (motorhomes) or towable (travel trailers, folding camping trailers, truck campers, and park models). Off- road vehicles are not included in the RV definition.

Travel Trailer – The travel trailer is a towable unit that connects to a ball hitch mounted on the tow vehicle and is designed as living quarters for recreational travel. Some travel trailers have portions of the unit that can slide out from the center to expand the living area inside.

Other terms used for travel trailer:

Conventional trailer Bumper pull trailer Travel trailer coach Tag along trailer

The travel trailer has the following sub-types:

Toy Hauler – The term toy hauler is applied to both travel trailers and fifth wheels, and it describes an RV designed to carry items such as small cars, dune buggies, four wheelers, motorcycles, etc.

Distinguishing features of a toy hauler are the large door in the back which opens down to create a ramp; a dedicated garage area and/or fold-away furniture in the main living compartment; and often has a third axle to support heavy toys.

Expandable – A travel trailer designed to vertically or horizontally expand and collapse (not including slide outs). Typically includes one or two canvas ends that fold out to create additional beds. The expandable travel trailer is a hybrid between a pop-up camper and a traditional travel trailer. The trailer looks like a travel trailer on the road, but when placed at the camp site, it expands to provide more room.

Vertically: On vertically expanding units, the slightly larger top portion of the trailer slides down over the bottom half, considerably reducing the height during transportation. At the campground, the trailer is expanded to full height, resembling a traditional trailer.

Horizontally: On horizontally expanding units (also called fold-out trailers), tent-like compartments fold out from the body to create beds.

Folding trailer – The folding trailer is a small, light-weight towable that folds or collapses into a low profile. Its small size and weight make it suitable for towing behind light vehicles such as cars, SUV's, and mini pickup trucks.

Camper trailer Folding camper Pop-up trailer Tent trailer

Teardrop Trailer – A teardrop trailer gets its name from the tear shaped profile — pointed in the back and rounded in the front. In general, teardrop trailers are small and light, towable by large cars and SUV's. Some are small enough to be towed by motorcycles.

Most teardrop trailers are so small that they provide only the very basics: bed, a small amount of inside storage, and minimal external cooking facilities. Some models are large enough to accommodate inside cooking and dining. The shape notwithstanding, some manufacturers group all very small trailers into the teardrop category.

Truck Camper –The truck camper is not a vehicle but an add-on living quarters designed to slide into the bed of a full-size pickup truck. The camper is fastened to the truck frame during transport and slides out onto its own legs at the camp site.

Frequently Asked Questions

How to count the number of people that can sleep in an RV:

Main Sleeping Area: The main sleeping area sleeps two people, irrespective of bed size (king, queen, or double).

Usually located at the hitch end of the trailer.

Secondary Sleeping Area: A secondary sleeping area that sleeps one or more individuals and is composed of a bed, a bunk, or a bunk bed. For example, two double width bunks set one over the other sleeps four people; two single width bunks set one over the other sleeps two people; one single bunk set over one double bunk sleeps three people.

Total number of people to sleep in an RV = Main Sleeping Area + Secondary Sleeping Area

Ready-to-be-used by FEMA to house disaster survivors condition:

FEMA defines “ready-to-be-used to house disaster survivors condition” as an RV that has been built to NFPA 1192 and manufacturer’s specifications and has been inspected by the dealer. In addition, the RV must pass FEMA’s independent, third party, pre-delivery inspection. The inspection is conducted in accordance with the applicable sections of the Recreation Vehicle Dealers Association (RVDA), “Figure 2-1, Pre-delivery Inspection Checklist Page 1 and Page 2 Examples,” and is conducted by National Recreation Vehicle Inspectors Association (NRVIA) Level II inspectors or an equivalent inspector, as determined by FEMA.

What is a sleeping area?

Sleeping areas in an RV are defined by FEMA as a space divided or partitioned from the general living area and designated specifically for sleeping. Sleeping areas contain a bed or a bunk that meet the space requirements.

Sleeping areas are not areas that are designed or designated for other activities, such as a kitchen or living room, where the sleeping accommodation has been converted to a sleeper sofa or a convertible dinette.

Sleeping areas are designed for one or more individuals’ use.

Sleeping areas are designated by a door, a pocket door, an accordion door, or a curtain which acts as a door, but is not the entire wall between the sleeping and living areas, except for Short Travel Trailers, which may have a curtain running the full width of the unit.

Definitions:

Bed: a dedicated space with a mattress on which one or more individuals sleep Bunk: same as bed Bunk Bed: a dedicated space with a mattress for two or more individuals to sleep where one bed is located over the other

Space Requirements:

Minimum for a single person: a mattress with a minimum width of 28 inches.

Minimum for two people: a mattress with a minimum width of 48 inches.

Minimum length for all mattresses is 74 inches.
