On page 16 of 66, Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, paragraph #4, General Information add the following after the last sentence: Technical Capability sub-factors assigned a final numerical score within the satisfactory, very good, or exceptional range allows a proposal to receive further consideration for contract award.

3. On page 19 of 66, Addendum to FAR 52.212-4, Commercial Items, paragraph #5, Delivery Days change to read the following:

DELIVERY SCHEDULE: Sail dates normally occur in a 7-day cycle. The containers must be delivered to the POE not any earlier than 3 to 4 days prior to the sail date (See Attachment C, Paragraph F, for Age of Product at Delivery). Any loss of product that occurs from the timeframe between loading the beef products on the container to acceptance at the POE remains solely with the BTE contractor. The freshest beef products possible are required. Further acceleration of delivery is not authorized due to reduced shelf life of beef products at final destination. If the BTE contractor, without authorization by the Contracting Officer, accelerates delivery or the beef products exceed the specified shelf life when the container is received at the POE, the BTE contractor shall authorize a VCM at final destination for a price adjustment (reduction) for any close-dated beef products or provide credit for any products that exceeds the contractor’s warranty period.

4. On page 42-43 of 66, Base Price and Special Factor (Meat Items) (Apr 2000) paragraph (a) is changed to the read the following:

a. Base Price:

(1) OCONUS Locations: For OCONUS locations, the weekly weighted average price appearing in the first USDA National Carlot Meat Report published for a month will be used to compute prices for deliveries made the following month. The weighted average price for an item shall be rounded to two decimal places to the right of the decimal point (i.e., whole cents only) to arrive at the base price. If a weekly weighted average for an item is not quoted in the first USDA National Carlot Meat Report for a month, the last published weekly weighted average quote, rounded to two decimal places, will be used.

(2) The base prices that will be used in the evaluation of offers will be the weighted average prices for the week ending December 1, 2007, or the most recent weekly weighted average report at the time of evaluation, if later.

5. Replace Attachment E (Excel Pricing Spreadsheet) with the revised version entitled Amendment 0002. Offerors are required to submit the revised version labeled Attachment E – Amendment 0002 with proposal. All base prices have been updated on the spreadsheet based on the weighted- average prices from the USDA National Carlot Meat Report for the week ending December 1, 2007. The following change has been made to Sub-CLIN 0001AJ on the Attachment E (Excel Pricing Spreadsheet):

Sub-CLIN 0001AJ has been changed to read the following: BEEF ROUND, SHANK OFF, PARTIALLY BONELESS, IMPS 160.

6. The date and time for receipt of offers (Block 8 of the SF 1449) will be extended to January 25, 2008, 4:00 p.m., Local Time (Fort Lee, VA).
