Attachment 1 - Terms and Conditions - 70Z03826QJ0000109.pdf

This is a Terms and Conditions attachment for a U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) solicitation for the acquisition of commercial items, specifically brackets (National Stock Number 1560-01-441-9854, Part Number 70500-22106-138). The document is effective November 28, 2025, and supersedes all other terms and conditions. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror representing the best value to the Government. Offerors must provide pricing including any quantity discounts and prompt payment discounts. The evaluation method requires that only the lowest priced offer be evaluated for Technical Acceptability; if it does not receive an acceptable rating or has unacceptable past performance, the evaluation continues to the next lowest priced offer until a technically acceptable option is identified. A written notice of award furnished to the successful offeror within the specified acceptance timeframe creates a binding contract without further action.

The solicitation incorporates numerous FAR clauses and USCG-specific requirements governing contractor conduct, including security prohibitions and exclusions (FAR 52.240-91), whistleblower rights, sustainable products and services, and restrictions on covered telecommunications equipment, Kaspersky Lab products, FASCSA-prohibited items, and transactions with Iran, Sudan, and certain foreign entities. Key operational requirements include quality assurance procedures, packaging and shipping instructions to the USCG Aviation Logistics Center in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, Certificate of Conformance documentation, F.O.B. Destination delivery terms, and electronic invoice submission to ALC-Fiscal@uscg.mil. Contractors must flow down all requirements to subcontractors and suppliers, maintain records per FAR 4.7, and report any identified prohibited products or security concerns to the contracting office within 72 hours.
