(2) Are shipped in direct support of U.S. military contingency operations, exercises, or forces deployed in humanitarian or peacekeeping operations; or

(3) Are commissary or exchange cargoes transported outside of the Defense Transportation System in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 2643.

The Contracting Officer will process requests submitted after such date(s) as expeditiously as possible, but the Contracting Officer's failure to grant approvals to meet the shipper's sailing date will not of itself constitute a compensable delay under this or any other clause of this contract. Requests shall contain at a minimum

(1) Type, weight, and cube of cargo;

(2) Required shipping date;

(3) Special handling and discharge requirements;

(4) Loading and discharge points;

(4) Ocean transportation was used and some or all of the shipments were made on foreign-flag vessels without the written consent of the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall describe these shipments in the following format:

ITEM DESCRIPTION CONTRACT LINE ITEMS

QUANTITY

TOTAL ____ ____ ____

(g) If this contract exceeds the simplified acquisition threshold and the final invoice does not include the required representation, the Government will reject and return it to the Contractor as an improper invoice for the purposes of the Prompt Payment clause of this contract. In the event there has been unauthorized use of foreign-flag vessels in the performance of this contract, the Contracting Officer is entitled to equitably adjust the contract, based on the unauthorized use.

(h) If the Contractor indicated in response to the solicitation provision, Representation of Extent of Transportation by Sea, that it did not anticipate transporting by sea any supplies; however, after the award of this contract, the Contractor learns that supplies will be transported by sea, the Contractor shall

(1) Notify the Contracting Officer of that fact; and

(2) Comply with all the terms and conditions of this clause.

Special Contract Requirements

Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items General Information: The Government plans to issue a single purchase order for the 30 Meter Elipticus Antenna.

The purchase order shall be a firm-fixed-price type contract. The Contracting Officer (CO) is the sole point of contact for this acquisition. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the CO. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the CO at the address located in Block 9.

An Ombudsman has been appointed to hear concerns from interested vendors during the proposal development phase of this acquisition. The Ombudsman for this acquisition is AFSC/PZC. This does not diminish the authority of the program director or CO, but communicates vendor concerns, issues, disagreements and recommendations to the appropriate Government personnel. When requested, the Ombudsman shall maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The Ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of quotations; interested parties are invited to call AFSC/PZC at 405-736-3273.

General Instructions: This acquisition will be conducted under the procedures of FAR Part 12 -- Commercial Items and FAR Part 13 -- Simplified Acquisition Procedures. This acquisition will utilize past performance and price as evaluation factors. Award will be made to the vendor with the optimal combination of past performance and price, and whose quote conforms to the solicitation requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, and certifications).

Vendors shall complete provisions/clauses as required. Vendors must complete the annual representations and certifications electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov. After reviewing the SAM information, the vendor verifies by submission of their quotation that the representations and certifications currently posted electronically at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items, are correct.

Tailored Instructions (FAR 52.212-1):

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet of this solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits a quotation in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is $37,500,000.

(b) Submission of quotations. Submit quotations to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Quotations may be submitted on the solicitation, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, quotations must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of quotations;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the vendor;

(4) A technical description of the items being quoted in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the vendor shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, to include contracts within three (3) years of issuance of this solicitation that contain comparable characteristics for the same or similar items/services, in the format outlined within Attachments 1 - 3 to this 52.212-1 addendum. Request each vendor submit up to three (3) Past Performance Information Forms (PPIFs), with a target page count of three (3) pages per PPIF. The requested number of PPIFs, and associated page counts, are preferences and not requirements. Vendors may submit less than three

(3) or more than three (3) PPIFs, with page counts less than three (3) or more than three (3) per PPIF. Vendors shall complete Part A of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 2) and e-mail it, and the Past Performance Questionnaire Cover Letter (Attachment 3), to all points of contact (POC) the vendor listed in the PPIF (Attachment 1). POCs will complete the questionnaires and forward them directly to the CO (anthony.

dollard@us.af.mil). Questionnaire respondents shall not send the completed information sheets back to the vendor. Vendors shall not follow-up with POCs regarding the status of the questionnaire(s)--the CO will conduct such follow-up with any POC(s) as necessary; and

(11) If the quotation is not submitted on a Standard Form (SF) 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Quotations that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Reserved.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of quotations. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple quotations. Vendors are encouraged to submit multiple quotations presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart

4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each quotation submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of quotations. We must receive your quotation at the address specified on page 1 of the Combined Synopsis Solicitation (CSS) by the deadline specified on page 1 of the CSS. In case of an emergency that delays our operations and makes submission or receipt of your quotation impossible, we will extend the deadline by one working day.

(g) Issuance of purchase order. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and issue a purchase order without interchanges. Therefore, the vendor's initial quotation should contain the vendor's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges with one, some, or all vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest quotation, and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received.

(h) Multiple purchase orders. The Government may issue purchase orders for any item or group of items of a quotation, unless the vendor qualifies the quotation by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, quotations may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to issue a purchase order for a quantity less than the quantity quoted, at the unit price(s) quoted, unless the vendor specifies otherwise in the quotation.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. If the descriptions in this solicitation refer to any Government specification, standard, or commercial item description, you may obtain a copy of any such documents from the places listed in FAR 52.212-1, paragraph (i).

(j) Unique Entity Identifier (UEI). Applies to all quotations submitted in response to solicitations that require the vendor to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM) database. Place your UEI that identifies the vendor's name and address on page 2 of the CSS. Also, if applicable, place your Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator on page 2 of the CSS. If you do not have a UEI, see FAR 52.212-1 paragraph (j) for instructions.

(k) Reserved.

(l) Notification to Unsuccessful Vendors. When the issuance of a purchase order is based on evaluation factors other than price alone, the Contracting Officer shall furnish the information described in FAR 15.503(b)(1) upon vendor request.

ADDENDUM 52.212-1 ATTACHMENTS

Attachment 1 - Past Performance Information Form Attachment 2 - Past Performance Questionnaire Attachment 3 - Past Performance Questionnaire Cover Letter

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 -- Evaluation - Commercial Items

1.1 Solicitation Requirements (Terms and Conditions)

Vendors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and Statement of Work (SOW) requirements, in addition to the past performance and price factors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the vendor being ineligible for award. Vendors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable, and the quotation, therefore, ineligible for award.

1.2 Number of Contracts to be Awarded:

The Government intends to select one contractor for this acquisition. However, the Government reserves the right not to award a contract at all, depending on the quality of the quotation, prices submitted, and the availability of funds.

1.3 Interchanges

In accordance with FAR 1.102-2(c)(3) the Government shall exercise discretion, use sound business judgement, and comply with applicable laws and regulations during the course of this acquisition. The Government intends to award without interchanges, but reserves the right to conduct interchanges if necessary. Therefore, it is imperative that vendors submit their best terms initially. If during the evaluation of quotations it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to conduct interchanges, the Contracting Officer may conduct interchanges with one, some, or all vendors before issuing any purchase order.

Interchanges are information sharing between the Government and vendors after receipt of quotations which can be conducted to address any aspect of the quotation. Interchanges may be oral or written. Written interchanges take the form of Interchange Notices (IN)s. INs are used to accurately capture contemporaneous sharing of information. If interchanges are conducted, the Government may request final quotation revisions at the conclusion of interchanges.

2.0 Evaluation Factors Used to Evaluate Each Quotation

Award will be made to the vendor quoting the combination of factors deemed most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors described below.

Factor 1: Past Performance Factor 2: Price

2.1. Factor 1 - Past Performance

Vendor past performance will be evaluated as follows:

2.1.1 Past Performance Information

Past performance information is defined as the vendor's record of conforming to requirements and standards of good workmanship, adherence to contract schedules and the administrative aspects of performance, reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction, integrity and business ethics, and generally, business-like concern for the interest of the customer.

2.1.2 Past Performance Quality

The Government will evaluate the quality of the vendor's past performance. Assessment of the vendor's past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of vendors. Thus, a vendor with an exceptional record of past performance may receive a more favorable evaluation than another vendor with no past performance record, or, whose record is less than exceptional. Past performance will not be scored, but the Government's conclusions about overall quality of the vendor's past performance will be highly influential in determining the relative merits of the vendor's quotation and in selecting the vendor whose quotation is considered most advantageous to the Government.

2.1.3 Past Performance Evaluation

Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on a consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The Government is seeking to determine whether the vendor has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of supplies/services at fair and reasonable prices. This is a matter of judgement. Vendors will be given an opportunity to address especially unfavorable reports of past performance, and the vendor's response--or lack thereof--will be taken into consideration.

The Government will consider performance quality of contracts performed within three (3) years of issuance of this solicitation. If any part of the performance falls within this timeframe, the contract in its entirety may be evaluated. Past performance records on contracts with comparable characteristics (e.g. similarity of product /service, complexity, dollar value) are considered to be a stronger predictor of future success than records that contain dissimilar characteristics. Therefore, when selecting the vendor whose quotation is considered most advantageous to the Government, records with comparable characteristics will be more influential than records that contain dissimilar characteristics.

2.2 Factor 2 - Price

Price quotations will be evaluated as follows:

2.2.1 Completeness

Quotations will be reviewed for completeness. Incomplete quotes will be considered ineligible for award.

2.2.2 Price Reasonableness

The proposed prices will be evaluated for reasonableness. Reasonableness must represent a price to the Government a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 13.106-3(a)(2).

2.2.3 Price Realism

The Government intends to determine price realism based on adequate price competition. In the event the Government cannot determine price realism based on adequate price competition, the Government reserves the right to conduct a more detailed price realism evaluation using one or more of the price analysis techniques described in FAR 13.106-3(a)(2). The Government may also use other evaluation techniques, as needed. To be realistic, the proposed price must demonstrate an adequate understanding of the requirement. Quoted prices that are determined to be unrealistically low due to an inadequate understanding of the requirement will make the quotation ineligible for award.

2.2.4 Unbalanced Pricing

Vendors' quotations will be reviewed for unbalanced pricing. The Government will evaluate any supporting information provided by the vendor explaining variances that appear unbalanced. Evaluated quotes that are determined to be unbalanced may be deemed ineligible for award by the Contracting Officer if a determination is made that lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total price, the price of one or more line items (including sub line items) is significantly over or understated as demonstrated by application of price analysis techniques, such that:

a) There is reasonable doubt the quote would result in the lowest overall cost to the Government, even though it is the lowest priced quote; or

b) The quote is so grossly unbalanced; its acceptance would be tantamount to allowing an advanced payment.

2.2.5 Total Evaluated Price (TEP)

The TEP will be calculated as the sum of the total proposed prices for all separately priced line items (including sub line items). The total proposed price for each separately priced line item shall be calculated as the proposed unit price multiplied by the corresponding quantity.

The TEP will be used for evaluation purposes only.
