Font size may be adjusted for charts, graphs, and titles.

The Government reserves the right to use information submitted by the offeror and other sources, such as the other Government offices and commercial sources to assess performance. The offeror shall send out a Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire) for each contract reference identified. The responsibility to send out the Past Performance Questionnaires rests solely with the offeror; whereas, it shall not be delegated to any other entity.

Once the questionnaires are completed, the information therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to you, the offeror. The Past Performance Questionnaires shall be sent directly to the Government from the respondent via email or fax. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account the past performance information regarding principal subcontractor(s) that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. Completed Past Performance Questionnaires are requested to be received in the issuing office by 3:00 p.m. CDT on 28 April 2014. Please note that this date precedes the proposal due date.

Part IV – Pricing Proposal:

To be eligible for award, offerors shall insert a proposed all-inclusive cost-per-pound rate for each Subcontract Line Item Number (SLIN) listed in Attachment 2, CLIN Matrix which corresponds to the service segment to be provided (i.e., International, Domestic, or both), with noted exceptions within the Domestic segment.

Offerors that choose not to propose rates for a non-mandatory Domestic SLIN shall insert a statement of “No Bid” in every cell that you will not be proposing on. Note that a rate offered with the value of "$0" (zero dollars) will be considered as "no charge" for service by the Contracting Officer.

The offeror shall also provide proposed accessorial rates for all SLINs within CLIN X015.

(4) For each proposed SLIN (International and Domestic), the offeror must provide an individual price for each weight increment. Offerors shall only complete the CLIN matrix for the base year. Option year prices shall be adjusted according to the Economic Price Adjustment.

(5) Do not alter the format of Attachment 2, CLIN Matrix (e.g., cell formats, cell shading, or page layout) during rate submissions. Cell inputs shall only be numeric and rounded to the nearest two decimal positions (e.g., $2.50).

Alternations, formula adjustments, cell formatting, adding terms or conditions, etc., may result in your offer being deemed non-responsive.

Paragraph (c) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Period for acceptance of offers” is tailored to read: “The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.”

Paragraph (e) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Multiple Offers” is tailored to read: “The government will not consider multiple offers presenting alternate terms and conditions for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.”

Paragraph (g) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids).” is tailored to read:

“The Government intends to evaluate offers and award contracts without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offerors initial offer should contain the offerors most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. 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.”

Paragraph (h) of FAR 52.212-1 entitled, “Multiple awards” is tailored to read: “The Government intends to award approximately three (3) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts for International Transportation Services and approximately three (3) IDIQ contracts for Domestic Transportation Services as a result of this solicitation. These IDIQ awards will be made based on the evaluation criteria listed herein. Offerors who propose on and receive awards in both service segments (i.e., International and Domestic Transportation Services) will be awarded only one (1) IDIQ contract which encompasses the International and Domestic Transportation Service requirements. Subsequent task order awards will be awarded pursuant to the fair opportunity ordering procedures set forth in the PWS of this Request for Proposal (RFP).
