EVALUATION OF USE OF EXISTING GOVERNMENT-OWNED PROPERTY

(a) Rent-free use of existing facilities, special test equipment, and/or special tooling, title to which is in the

Government or to which the Government has the right to take title (all of which is herein described as property), including rent-free use by prospective subcontractors, will be a consideration in the evaluation of responses to this solicitation. Contractor must provide with their proposal, the list of Government Furnished

Property (GFP), the acquisition cost, age, and type of GFP.

(b) For purposes of evaluation only, the unit evaluation factors for each classification of property, computed as follows, shall be added by the Government to the price or prices offered. The evaluation factors shall be computed by multiplying the acquisition cost of each item of property by the rental rates specified below, and then multiplying the product obtained by the number of months of use proposed. A minimum of one month of use shall be required for purposes of evaluation. Fractional portions of a month shall be counted as a full month. This final product shall then be divided by the total quantity of units to be produced using such property to determine the unit evaluation factors. The factors shall be separately set forth by the offeror under the offered unit prices.

Monthly Rental Rates

(1) For land and land preparation, buildings, building installations, and land installations other than those items specified in (2) below: the prevailing commercial rate.

(2) For industrial plant equipment of the types covered by Federal Supply Classification Code Numbers

-- Two percent (2.00%) per month for electronic test equipment and automotive equipment;

-- One percent (1.00%) per month for special tooling and for all other property and equipment.

(c) If any item of property is to be used on other work for which use has been authorized during the period such property is requested for use on any contract resulting from this solicitation, the evaluation factors shall be calculated in accordance with the following: the acquisition cost of each item of property shall be multiplied by the rental rates specified for the applicable classification of property set forth above, and the product obtained shall then be multiplied by the number of months of rent-free use requested. The resulting product shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of use of the property proposed under this solicitation, and the denominator of which is the sum of the previously-authorized use of the property during the period of proposed use and the use proposed under this solicitation. The final product shall then be divided by the total quantity of units to determine the unit evaluation factor. The measurement unit for determining the amount of use to be considered in establishing the fraction referred to in the foregoing calculation shall be direct labor hours, sales, hours of use, or any other measurement unit which will result in an equitable apportionment of the factor. The measurement

(e) Where this solicitation provides that the property is offered for use on an as-is basis, F.O.B. loading dock at present location, the Government shall add to the offered price, in addition to the evaluation factors described above, a factor, for purposes of evaluation, which will be composed of the costs to the
