ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Sep 2023)

Provisions that are incorporated by reference (by Citation Number, Title, and Date), have the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available.

The following provisions are incorporated into 52.212-1 as an addendum to this solicitation:

INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

(a) Failure to meet a requirement or adhere to an instruction may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

(b) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. In addition to the above, for NAICS code 325180 – To qualify as a small business for purposes of Government procurement, the industrial gas manufacturer, including its affiliates, must be a concern that has no more than 1,000 employees. Employee size standard includes all domestic and foreign affiliates, all owned or leased facilities, and all facilities under a processing agreement or an arrangement such as an exchange agreement or a throughput. To qualify under the employee size standard, the firm, together with its affiliates, must be primarily engaged in industrial gas manufacturing. A firm’s “primary industry” is determined in accordance with 13

CFR § 121.107.

(c) Submission of Offers: Offers shall be submitted by the due date and time provided on the SF1449 block 8. Proposals shall be submitted electronically to the Contracting Officer, Tammie Campbell at email: tammie.campbell@dla.mil on or before 3:00 PM, Central Time (CT), Monday, July 7, 2025.

The response shall consist of four (5) separate volumes:

2. The format should include: The acronym "CUI"

5. Exceptions (price or technical) taken to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and/or any of its formal attachments shall be identified. Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. Provide rationale in support of the exception and fully explain the impact, if any, on the performance, price, and specific requirements of the solicitation. Failure to agree to the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being removed from consideration for award.

6. As the Government intends to award without discussions, Offerors are advised of the possibility that their proposals may be found unacceptable if exceptions are taken to the solicitation requirements. All exceptions to the solicitation requirements

(including the SOO) and supporting rationale shall be identified as such and consolidated into an overview section of subject volume. An overview section is only required if the Offeror takes exception to any requirement in the solicitation.

The overview section will not be included in the page count. Exception(s) to solicitation requirements may require the Government to amend the solicitation to reflect requirement change(s). If the Offeror takes no exception to the stated requirements, a statement to this effect shall be included in the respective volume.

7. Question and Answer Period: Any questions relating to this solicitation and its attachments shall be submitted in writing by email addressed to the Contracting Officer by 3:00 PM CT on Friday, June 20, 2025. Any questions received after this date may or may not be answered due to the constraints of the solicitation.
