The following have been modified:

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (FEB 2012)

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

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

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

(4) A technical description of the items being offered 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 offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm through 30 Sep 13, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. 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 offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

This requirement also applies to all proposed first tier subcontractors, teaming partners, and joint ventures.

security deviations, violations, compromises; performance incentives and award fee earned versus total award fee pool, etc.; management performance in meeting program schedules and milestones; and cost performance (under or overruns, cost incentives earned or lost, etc.). The discussion should include "lessons learned" or a description of any corrective action taken to prevent recurrence of past performance listed and considered substandard, and a narration or recitation of how the past performance may benefit this program.

(e) The Past and Present Performance Volume may be provided to the government or commercial points of contact for verification. Past and present performance information on recent contracts not listed by the contractors, or that of previous or planned subcontractors, may also be solicited directly from the ACO or other authoritative government or commercial sources. Verification of past and present performance information may also be handled telephonically. The Past and Present Performance Volume shall include a list of all customers to whom a Past and

Present Performance Questionnaire was provided, including current point of contact and phone number.

(f) Provide a comprehensive list of recent and relevant contracts as defined above in paragraph (c), over the past three- (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation.

(h) Contractor Past and Present Performance Questionnaires. Contractors shall provide the reproducible Past and

Present Performance Contractor Performance Questionnaire, Attachment 3, to its customers for direct response back to the Government. The Past and Present Performance Information obtained directly from contractors’ customers will be used, in addition to information from other sources, to evaluate contractors’ past and present performance in accordance with the criteria set forth in Clause 52.212-2 of this solicitation. Completed Contractor Past and Present

Performance Questionnaires sent directly to the Government from any offeror will not be considered in the evaluations. It is the responsibility of contractors to ensure that their customers complete the questionnaires for all projects that are to be considered in the evaluation of a contractor’s past/present performance and to ensure that its customers send such completed questionnaires directly to the Contracting Office not later than the date and time established for receipt of proposals.

(1) Each offeror shall send out the Past and Present Performance Questionnaire located at Attachment 3 to each of the offeror’s past performance references Points of Contact (POC) identified in the contracts listed in the Past

(2) If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past and present relevant contracts.

(3) Past performance information pertaining to a teaming partner, joint venture, and/or subcontractor cannot be disclosed to a private party without that party’s consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the

Government will need that consent before disclosing teaming partner, joint venture, or subcontractor past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government in assessing the offeror’s past performance, a consent letter shall be completed by the subcontractor, teaming partners or joint ventures identified in your proposal. The signed consent shall be submitted as part of your Past Performance volume.

(i) If the offeror claims there is no past performance, this status must be identified to the contracting officer no later than the due date/time for past performance information from all offerors. A “neutral/unknown” confidence assessment rating will be assigned for a lack of any past performance information. This will not automatically disqualify an offeror, but is a factor considered in the evaluation process as described in the addendum for FAR

52.212-2.

(j) All questionnaires and references are to be submitted to the Contracting Officer at 341 st Contracting Squadron no later than 2:00pm Mountain Standard Time, 4 June 2013.

3. Volume III – Technical Capability.

An evaluation of technical acceptability of each offeror's technical capability proposal shall be made. The contracting officer may conduct discussions, request clarifications, and/or have communications with offerors to determine technical acceptability of their proposal IAW the solicitation requirements.
