The estimated quantity of structure protection wrap rolls (30/pallet) will vary depending on current inventory levels and fire season activity. All quantities are estimates only, based on historical usage, current work plans, and projected needs, and are not guaranteed.

The USDA Forest Service Incident Support Cache supports national disasters nationwide (wildland fire suppression, floods, hurricanes, etc.). Due to the unpredictable nature of fires and other disasters, exact quantities cannot be predicted or assured.

The contractor is responsible for providing all necessary equipment, materials, supplies, transportation, and personnel to meet or exceed contract specifications.

Firm-fixed pricing must include:

• Price per roll

• All applicable state and federal taxes

Shipping charges will be quoted separately for each individual order.

Note: FAR 52.225-3 Buy American–Free Trade Agreements–Israeli Trade Act is included in this solicitation - One or more of the items under this acquisition is subject to Free Trade Agreements.

STATEMENT OF REQUIREMENT

The intent of this Contract is to re-supply the USFS fire caches with NFES 0881 Wrap - Structure Protection, Rolls. Structure protection wrap is used in wildland fire fighting to protect structures by providing a thermal barrier between the structure and an approaching flame front. The structure wrap consists of an aluminum foil laminated onto a fiberglass cloth. The foil protects structure by reducing heat transfer to the structure from radiant heat. The fiberglass cloth provides durability to the laminated cloth and attenuates heat transfer from convective heat. The Vendor’s firm fixed-price rates shall include, but are not limited to, all labor, equipment, materials, and State and Federal taxes.

SCOPE: This firm-fixed price IDIQ shall provide all items, to include FOB Destination shipping, for the following on an “as needed” basis as described herein:

1. Wrap - Structure Protection, Rolls (NFES #0881) composed on aluminum foil laminated to a glass cloth as described in “Attachment 2 Wrap - Structure Protection, Roll Specifications”

2. Wrap shall be packaged as described in “Attachment 3 Wrap - Structure Protection, Roll (Palleting)”.

DELIVERY INFORMATION: Required items shall be delivered via F.O.B. Destination to locations indicated in the “NATIONAL INCIDENT SUPPORT CACHE LOCATIONS” section below:

• The USDA Forest Service requires delivery of all items per DO within 60 calendar days of award, unless otherwise directed by the DO.

• If an item(s) is(are) recalled, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and Cache POC to coordinate removal/replacement of the item(s). Any price adjustments will be reviewed/approved by the contracting officer as appropriate.

• If the contractor anticipates difficulty meeting any required delivery date, the contractor must notify the Contracting Officer and Cache POC in writing (email) within 24 hours of discovering the issue. The notice must include relevant details of the anticipated delay and a proposed revised delivery date.

• This information is provided for awareness only and does not constitute a waiver by the Government of any schedule, right, or remedy.

(e) If, after award, there is a change in the composition of the item(s) or a revision to Federal Standard No. 313, which renders incomplete or inaccurate the data submitted under paragraph (d) of this clause, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and resubmit the data.

(f) Neither the requirements of this clause nor any act or failure to act by the Government shall relieve the Contractor of any responsibility or liability for the safety of Government, Contractor, or subcontractor personnel or property.

Past Performance The Government may utilize any references provided by the Contractor, along with information available from past contracts/orders with the USDA and any information found using sources such as Federal Government sources or the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following rating system:

• Neutral: Offeror does not have a past performance record.

• Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.

Evaluation Method All quotations will be evaluated to identify the offeror presenting the most technically advantageous solution based on the stated evaluation criteria. Once the highest technically rated offeror is identified, their price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable. Past performance will also be assessed to ensure it is acceptable or neutral.

Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined to be the highest technically rated, provided that:

1. The proposed price is fair and reasonable, and

2. Past performance is assessed as acceptable or neutral.

Award will not necessarily be made to the lowest-priced offeror. Tradeoffs will not be conducted.
