SUBJECT: TDS FINAL SOLICITATION- SUMMARY OF CHANGES

4 April2014

1. The purpose of this memorandum is to identify the changes made from the draft solicitation documents posted to Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) (posting# HTC711-14-R-COO l-WWX6) on 14 March 2014 to the finalized solicitation documents posted today. The changes are as follows:

a. Revised program name from Total Worldwide Transportation (TWT) to Total Delivery Services (TDS).

b. Updated paragraph 4.1 "Cost Recovery Rate" (CRR) of Attachment 1, Performance Work Statement

(PWS) to incorporate a CRR of "3%" for the International service segment (i.e. CLINs XOO 1-X004) and a CRR of" 1 %"for the Domestic service segment (i.e. CLINs X005-XO 15). Please be aware that these proposed CRRs are subject to change as they are pending formal USTRANSCOM leadership guidance. If the CRRs require revision, USTRANSCOM will formally amend the TDS solicitation on FBO and revise the proposal due date, if necessary.

c. Updated paragraph 4.2.4 "Additional Documentation" (now titled "Account Information Report") to incorporate a yearly reporting requirement which requires contractor submission of a listing of non-active accounts. This requirement has been requested by the Services as it will prevent the build-up of inactive accounts, and provide the Government a clearer picture of active accounts, thus facilitating Transportation Officer management of shipping accounts on their respective installations.

d. Updated clause 52.212-1 "Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 , Instructions to Offerors- Commercial Items (Jul 20 13)" and 52.212-2 "Evaluation- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)" to incorporate an additional Technical Capability subfactor titled "Small Business Utilization Plan." This plan shall identify the offeror's approach to utilizing all small business concerns (Small Disadvantaged Business, Women-Owned Small Business, HUBZone Small Business, Veteran-Owned Small Business and Service-Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business) in the performance ofTDS.

e. Updated Attachment 4, Past Performance Questionnaire to add questions regarding small business utilization.

f. Incorporated the following language into PWS para 1.2.2.1: " For next-day service, delivery is by 0800 (CLINs X005 and XOlO), 1030 (CLINs X006 and XOll), and 1500 (CL!Ns X007 and XOJ 2) to most areas.

Delivery to rural areas within each service level will be in accordance with each carrier's commercial service guide."
