D BID EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

D.1 Bidding Process:

The bid shall consist of an amount per unit of issue specified in U.S. currency. Be advised certain risk factors could affect a bidder’s assessment of this contract and the calculations supporting the resulting bid. Under no circumstances is the Agency or the Government responsible for any assumptions, planning factors, or decisions related to determining the bid.

The Government expects all the terms and conditions of the contract to be met at the bid price submitted. At no time will the Government pay the Purchaser to take material offered. There shall be no reimbursement to the Purchaser under this contract except for the limited circumstances related to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for return of property directed by the Government. The Government is not responsible for any indirect, inconsequential, or completeness (through assumption of sales value, act or omission of factors) of expenses related to performance under this contract. The measure of the Government’s liability, in any case where liability of the Government to the Purchaser has been established, shall not exceed refund of such portion of the purchase price as the Government may have received.

D.2 Identification of Sales Purchaser:

Bidders should take care to ensure that their bid submission indicates whether they are submitting the bid as an authorized representative of a legal entity such as a corporation or limited liability company, or in their individual capacity or as owner of a sole proprietorship. The legal entity designated as the bidder on the SF 114 is the entity to whom the contract will be awarded upon receiving an affirmative responsibility assessment. Individuals or companies may use subsidiaries, affiliates or partners in a joint venture as subcontractors with SCO approval as per the contract terms but may not substitute such entities as a party to the DLA sales contract. AHBs should ensure all pre-award documentation identify any subcontractors that will be performing removals or processing materials on its behalf so that the appropriate reviews may be conducted.

D.3 How to Bid:

Bidders shall use the following documents provided with this IFB to submit a bid: the SF114 and SF114A. Bidder shall enter bid as a price per unit of issue not to exceed five decimal places (example 0.01005). Minimum bid is $0.01000 per unit of issue. Multiply your bid price by the quantity indicated in the “Total QTY” column advertised to calculate your extended bid amount.

The bidder awarded this contract will be awarded all Contract Line Items Numbers (CLINs) or none of the Items.

Bidders must place a bid on each individual Item to be considered for award. Purchaser will be expected to pay the Unit Bid Price for each Item upon removal based on weight.

The highest priced cumulative bid will be determined by each bidder’s total contract price identified in the “total amount” on the SF114. “Total Amount” block on the SF 114 will be equal to the cumulative total from all CLINs from column “Total Price Bid” on the SF 114A.

The bidder with the highest “TOTAL AMOUNT” bid will be considered the apparent high bidder and will be vetted prior to award in accordance with provisions in Section D below. It is expected that the awarded company will remove all of the items in this IFB or none of the items in this IFB. The awarded company must possess all appropriate license for all items or have sub-contractors with appropriate licenses to remove all Items. Award will not be made to a bidder who demonstrates a capability to remove some, but not all, of the items listed in the IFB.

For illustrative purposes, if the item advertised for sale in the IFB is by each and Bidder A’s “Total Amount” equals $50.00 and Bidder B’s “Total Amount” equals $40.00, Bidder A would be the apparent high bidder. Do not email bids or call-in bids directly to the SCO. Email bid to: DRMSSALESBIDS@DLA.MIL

EXAMPLE 1: SF 114A

mailto:DRMSSALESBIDS@DLA.MIL

EXAMPLE 2: SF 114

D.4 A Responsive Bid:

Complies with the terms and conditions of the sales offering and satisfies the requirements as to the method and timeliness of the submission. Only responsive bids will be considered for award. A responsive bid submission shall contain at a minimum:

• SF114 completed and signed.

• SF114A.

• The bid must remain valid 90 calendar days from the bid opening unless otherwise modified or cancelled.

D.5 When to Send Bid:

Bids must be in the possession of the Agency’s Public Sales Contracting Division by the offer closing date and time specified in this IFB. If the bid is not submitted on time, it shall be considered non-responsive. Late rules are outlined in FAR 52.212-1(f). Pay particular attention to the provisions that relate to the timing of e-mail submissions.

D.6 How to Modify/Cancel Bid:

In addition to SBR Part 3, Articles B and C, by submitting a new bid in the same manner as the previous bid.

Separately, without disclosing bid amounts, notify the SCO of the modification. To cancel a bid, submit a zero (0) bid in the same manner as the original bid. Notify the SCO of the bid cancellation (specify date, time and method of bid submission).

D.7 Bid Evaluation:

A responsible bidder is one that has the necessary organization, experience, financial resources, accounting process, operational controls, technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them, to perform the requirements of the sales contract, has no disqualifying factors (i.e., is not suspended, debarred or an ineligible transferee) and able to pass the Agency’s vetting process. A responsive bid is one that has complied with all instructions for properly submitting a bid. Submitting the highest bid price does not convey any special right nor does it imply that the Purchaser shall be the primary removal company or exclusively allowed to remove throughout the term of this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any bids that are not in the best interest of the Government.

The general standards in FAR Part 9 on contractor responsibility determinations that are applicable to procurement contracts are not directly applicable to sales contracts awarded under 40 U.S. Code § 545 but may be considered by the Sales Contracting Officer in evaluating bidder responsibility.

The Government intends that a single award will be made to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid inclusive of all lines unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.205. For illustrative purposes, if Bidder A’s bid submission cumulative total submits a bid for $150,000.00 “Total Amount,” and if Bidder B’s bid submission cumulative total submits a bid for $160,000.00 “Total Amount,” then Bidder B is the apparent high bidder since he/she would have the highest total amount priced responsive bid.

D.8 Ineligible Bidder:

A Bidder will not be eligible for award if they are:

• Officially indebted to the Government.

• Excluded from Federal programs by the General Services Administration as identified in the System for

Award Management at https://sam.gov/.

• Subject to denial, suspension, debarment, or other sanctions pursuant to export control and related laws, regulations, or orders administered by the DOS, DOC, DHS, or USTD. The DOS, DOC, DHS, and USTD name these entities, individuals, and countries in the Federal Register and at the following website:

Consolidated Screening List Search Engine (https://www.trade.gov/data-visualization/csl-search).

D.9 Pre-Award Survey:

The Agency will conduct a Pre-Award survey of only the Apparent High Bidder. The Pre-Award survey may be conducted at the AHB’s facility. The Pre-Award survey may include but is not limited to a review of facilities, equipment, financial capability, quality assurance, safety, environmental responsibility and transportation capabilities.

The Apparent High Bidder shall cooperate in the Pre-Award process by assisting in arrangements and/or by providing requested information in a timely manner. Be advised that the Pre-Award survey and providing documents to the Government is part of the evaluation to determine responsibility and is not a guarantee of contract award.

To facilitate the Pre-Award Survey, you have ten business days to:

• Complete and return FAR Provision 52.204-24.

If the Agency determines the AHB is not responsible, the next highest bidder will begin the same pre-award survey process. This same process of vetting the next highest bidder will continue until a responsible bidder is identified.

D.10 Contract Award:

The SCO shall determine if each bid is responsive prior to award of the contract. The contract shall be awarded to the highest responsive bid submitted by a responsible bidder. In the event of termination of the original Purchaser, the SCO may award the contract to the next highest responsive, responsible bidder if bids have not expired, and such award is otherwise determined to be in the Government's best interest.

Under 41 CFR § 102-38.205, the Agency reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. The Agency may reject any or all bids when such action is advantageous to the Government, or when it is in the public interest to do so.

When you have successfully completed the pre-award assessment as the apparent high bidder, you will receive a Statement indicating the amount of payment due. Submit payment within three business days of the Statement (An extension of up to ten (10) business days may be authorized by the SCO upon written request by the AHB that is submitted before the initial three business day suspense).

When payment is posted and confirmed by the SCO; and all other vetting has been completed, a Start of Work meeting will be scheduled.

D.11 Start Work Meeting:

The purpose of the conference is to ensure the Purchaser fully understands the terms and conditions of this contract.

The Agency shall determine the method, date, time, and location of the start of work meeting. The Purchaser is responsible for any cost incurred by their organization and staff. The Government shall not provide any compensation for costs incurred to attend meetings. At the conclusion of this meeting the official signed Notice of Award will be sent to the Purchaser and SPOC. After the start of work meeting, property is authorized for release.

Instead of appealing to the ASBCA, you may bring an action directly in the United States Court of Federal Claims (except as provided in the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. 603, regarding Maritime Contracts) within 12 months of the date you receive this decision.
