The contractor must be able to access the Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC) website to process shipments through Electronic Shipper System (ESS).

An ECA will be required, for users who don’t have a Common Access Card (CAC) or Transportation Worker Identification Credential (TWIC) provided by the government, in order to access SDDC systems through Electronic Transportation Application (ETA).

Registration Process

An individual should decide which commercial provider from which they will obtain their ECA.

Once this is determined, use the information in this document to contact one of the three commercial ECA provider’s websites. You will need to follow the directions provided by the ECA provider to purchase your certificate.

Below are three commercial ECA providers:

IdenTrust, Inc. (formerly DST) http://www.identrust.com/eca/eta Email: helpdesk@identrust.com Phone: 888.882.1104

Operational Research Consultants, Inc. (ORC) http://www.eca.orc.com Email: ecahelp@orc.com Phone: 800.816.5548

Verisign, Inc.

http://www.verisign.com/authentication/government-authentication/dod-interoperability/index.html Email: eca-support@verisign.com Phone: 1-866-202-5570 option 2 or Local: 650-426-3896

Shipping point of contact needs to have a valid e-mail address in order to get user id and password for ESS.

DeCA HQ Transportation Office will provide instructions on how to obtain user id and password for Electronic Shipper System (ESS) once the External Certificate Authority (ECA) has been obtained. Once Electronic Transportation Application (ETA) access has been approved by Surface Deployment and Distribution Command (SDDC), DeCA HQ Transportation Office will assist with any questions that may arise.

C. INFORMATION REQUIRED FROM THE CONTRACTOR

Within three (3) workdays after the order is issued, the contractor will notify DeCA HQ Transportation Office via input into the ESS system what their container requirements are. Traffic management specialists will book the containers as requested by the contractor.

Containers will be booked as Port of Embarkation (POE) or to door moves. This means the containers must be either picked up from the POE (or designated location) or live-loaded at the POE (or designated location). The POEs currently used by DeCA for this requirement are Savannah, GA and Norfolk, VA.

The DeCA Transportation Office will book the containers through the POE which provides the best value to the government. (If the container is loaded at the contractor’s facility or live-loaded at designated location other than the POE, it is the contractor’s responsibility to get the loaded container to the POE prior to cut-off date.

NOTE: It is the responsibly of the contractor to conduct a visual inspection of the container(s) to be used for any shipment to ensure that it is free of any defects such as holes or damaged or unserviceable door seals.

Price adjustments include price increases and price decreases. Adjustments will be considered as follows:

(b) Price adjustments ceiling. Contract prices will be adjusted upward to a maximum of 50 percent of the awarded unit price. There is no limit on downward adjustments under this clause. If the results of the price adjustment calculation specified herein should exceed the 50 percent ceiling, the Government may unilaterally raise the ceiling, provided such increase is consistent with the prevailing market conditions. Prices will ONLY be adjusted on the periods identified in the "Schedule for Price Adjustments".

(c) EPA Baseline. In order for there to be a pre-determined process for calculating the application of this EPA clause, there must be a formally recognized "index", against which the EPA formula can be applied. That index is contained within a publication called "PLASTICS NEWS" (referred to hereinafter as PN) for plastic products and "PULP & PAPER WEEK" (referred to hereinafter as PPW) for paper products.

PN is published weekly by Crain Communications Inc., 740 N. Rush Street, Chicago, IL 60611-2590, (800)678- 9595. The edition used for price adjustments will be the third weekly edition published for the month identifying the previous week's prices in the pricing section of the magazine.

PPW is published weekly by Miller Freeman Publications, Incorporated, 600 Harrison Street, San Francisco, California 94107, (415) 905-2263. The edition used for price adjustment will be the edition that contains the information for a specific commodity for that month.

The baseline pricing will be the pricing found in the proper edition of PPW and the third weekly edition of Plastics News the month of the solicitation closing date, or January 2018.

(1) Price adjustments. Pricing adjustments to the unit prices for those line items listed in the attachment under "RESIN" will be equal to the price per pound of the type of resin indicated above (as quoted in the publication "Plastics News"); times the resin weight per unit; plus the award price. The mathematical formula to be applied in calculating price adjustments is as follows:

REVISED/ADJUSTED UNIT PRICE = [(NEW RESIN PRICE - BASE RESIN PRICE) X WEIGHT OF RESIN

PER UNIT] + AWARDED UNIT PRICE

(2) Price adjustments. Pricing adjustments to the unit prices listed in the attachment under "PULP" will be equal to the price per short ton for the category of paper indicated above as quoted in the publication of "PULP & PAPER WEEK"; times the weight of paper (converted from weight per short ton to weight per bale); plus the award price.

The mathematical formula to be applied in calculating price adjustments is as follows:

REVISED/ADJUSTED UNIT PRICE = [(NEW PAPER PRICE - BASE PAPER PRICE) X WEIGHT OF PAPER

PER UNIT] + AWARDED UNIT PRICE

(3) The "new resin price" will be that price published by "Plastics News" during the appropriate edition identified in the Schedule for Price Adjustments shown below. The "new resin price" will serve as the basis of the revised price for the succeeding period in accordance with the above formula.

(4) The "Weight of Resin per unit" is the weight of the unit (lbs).

(5) The "new paper price" will be that price published by "Pulp & Paper Week" during the appropriate edition identified in the Schedule for Price Adjustments shown below. The "new paper price" will serve as the basis of the revised price for the succeeding period in accordance with the above formula.

(6) The "weight of paper per unit" is derived as follows:

The weight of one roll (lbs) divided by 2000 lbs/ton (rounded six digits to the right of the decimal).

(Example: One Roll = 32 lbs divided by 2000 lbs/ton = .000500 short tons)

(7) The "base resin price" by which adjustments will be made will be the published price quoted for the applicable category of resin in the Pricing Update section of the publication "Plastics News." The “base paper price” will be obtained from the publication "Pulp & Paper Week".

The appropriate issue of the publication shall be the appropriate edition for the month immediately prior to the calendar month of the bid opening/proposal closing date. For example, if the date is during the month of June, the "base period" price shall be the price as shown in the third weekly edition of "Plastics News" published in the month of May (lowest price shown in the given range for Volume Category II for a given resin type), and the appropriate May edition of "Pulp & Paper Week" (lowest price shown in the given range of pricing). The price in effect in those editions will be used in establishing the base price.

(8) Rounding. In the event of a unit price being revised (due to the application of a proposed unit pack versus the DeCA pack or any other reason), it will be rounded to the nearest 1/100 (two digits to the right of the decimal (Example: $14.75 in lieu of $14.754321)).

(9) If PN or PPW publishes a range of prices for a specific month, the low price of the range will be considered the resin/pulp price for that month whether used as a base price or as the new price.

(10) If PN or PPW discontinues publishing the pricing update information or the pricing information is not available for the adjustment month, then a substitute published price may be selected by mutual agreement of the contract parties. If another source is substituted for PN or PPW, the base price will be reviewed to determine what affect, if any, the change in the source document has on the baseline figures, which are utilized to calculate the periodic adjustments to price. If necessary, the figures utilized for all economic price adjustments to date under this contract will be reviewed to ensure that there is consistency in the application of the new source document, in order to determine the most current unit price(s) to be paid.

(d) Schedule of Price Adjustments. Contract prices will be unilaterally adjusted pursuant to the above cited formula at the frequency indicated in the "Schedule" for Price Adjustments" shown below:
