About this file

This document is an amendment to a solicitation for a Master Lease Contract for container leasing services. The amendment provides revisions to points of contact, submission instructions, and evaluation criteria. Offerors must submit pricing for transportation of 20-foot dry and ammunition-grade containers to 11 locations by the deadline. The Department of Defense United States Transportation Command intends to award approximately five fixed-price indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contracts to responsible offerors based on lowest price technically acceptable procedures. Evaluation will consider business and technical factors, with technical subfactors for transition plans and technical approaches. The amendment details submission requirements for business, technical, and price proposals, and outlines the price evaluation methodology to determine total evaluated price.

Paragraph (c) “Period of acceptance of offers” is tailored to read as follows: The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

Paragraph (e) “Multiple offers” is tailored to read as follows: Multiple offers with identical Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) codes shall be excluded from consideration.

Paragraph (g) “Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids)” is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: The Government intends to evaluate offers and award contracts 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. 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 Officermay 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.

Paragraph (k) System for Award Management is tailored to read as follows:

The offeror shall be registered in the SAM database prior to contract award. Offerors shall remain registered during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database by the time prescribed, the Offeror will be determined ineligible for award and be excluded from further competition. Offerors shall ensure their company information in SAM is accurate and complete. Offerors shall also ensure the company information provided in the offer is consistent with the information in SAM.

(End of Addendum)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

FAR 52.212-2 is replaced in its entirety:

(A) The Government intends to award approximately five (5) Fixed Price, IDIQ contracts resulting from this solicitation utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures, IAW DOD Source Selection Guidelines, to the responsible Offerors whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The Government intends to award without discussions but may hold discussions if determined necessary by the Source Selection Authority. If necessary, a Competitive Range will be established for the purposes of holding discussions with the most highly rated Offerors with the lowest Total Evaluated Price (TEP). If the Contracting Officer determines 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 efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. For purpose of this acquisition, proposals that require major revisions under one or more evaluation factors, or do not have a reasonable chance for award, are not among the most highly rated proposals and will not be included in the competitive range.

Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. With submission of a signed offer, the Offeror accedes to the terms and conditions included in the solicitation and agrees to perform all requirements included in the MLC PWS. Failure to meet a solicitation requirement may result in an offer being determined non-compliant and/or technically unacceptable and therefore, may result in the Offeror being eliminated from further consideration.

(B) To receive an award, offeror(s) must (1) be deemed responsible in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 9,

(2) conform to all required terms and conditions, and (3) represent the best value to the Government price and other factors considered.

(1) Past performance will be considered as part of each offeror’s responsibility determination IAW FAR part 9. The Government intends to utilize information included in PPQs (Attachment 7) received in response to subject solicitation in making a responsibility determination for each offeror.

(C) Each Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated against the following criteria:

1. Business Proposal

2. Technical Capability

a. Implementation/Transition Plan

b. Technical Approach

3. Price

Factor 1 - Business Proposal. The offeror’s Business Proposal will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. The Government will not award to an offeror that has an Unacceptable rating for this factor. In order to be rated Acceptable, the offeror’s proposal shall conform to all requirements of the solicitation, including but not limited to the Submission of Offers under the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1.

General Compliance Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 2 - Technical Capability. Each offeror’s Technical Capability Proposal will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable at the subfactor level, as defined below.

Technical Capability Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

If any technical subfactor is rated as Unacceptable, the overall technical rating will be Unacceptable. If all technical subfactors are rated as Acceptable, then the overall technical rating will be Acceptable. Offeror’s proposals must receive a rating of Acceptable for all of the following technical subfactors in order to be considered for award:

(a) Subfactor 1 – Implementation/Transition Plan. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must submit a realistic transition plan (phase-in and phase-out) for accomplishing the requirements identified in the PWS, Paragraph 8.0, Contractor Transition.

(b) Subfactor 2 – Technical Approach. To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must provide a Technical Approach which clearly describes how the offeror will achieve the objectives of the PWS paragraphs: 1.3.1 Contract Management, 1.3.2 Leasing Operations, 1.3.3 Systems Information, and all subparagraphs. The proposed approach shall effectively demonstrate the offeror’s ability to comply with the PWS requirements. Proposals that merely paraphrase the requirements of the Government’s PWS, or use such phrases as “will comply” or “standard techniques will be employed” will be considered unacceptable and will not be considered further.

Factor 3 – Price Proposal.

(a) To determine the TEP the Government will evaluate each Offerors Total Proposed Price (TPP) for Transportation Tier 1 - 20' Dry ISO; 20' Ammunition Grade containers for the eleven locations in which Offerors are required to submit pricing (Attachment 2—MLC Pricing Tab 2). To be considered for an award, Offerors shall submit pricing for all green highlighted cells in Attachment 2 – Tab 2 and all Offeror’s proposed pricing identified in Attachment 2, will be evaluated to determine fair and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1.

Reasonableness may be determined based on comparison to prices submitted by the competition, current market conditions, comparison to the Government estimate, or utilization of any other price analysis technique identified in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). An Offeror’s pricing may be determined fair and reasonable for some locations and not for others. The Government may accept some or all rates or services initially offered without conducting discussions. If discussions are conducted, they will be limited to those offers considered to be within the competitive range and may be limited to certain rates or services specifically identified in writing by the Contracting Officer to the Offerors. Offerors remaining within the competitive range upon conclusion of discussions will be afforded an opportunity to submit a final proposal revision. Pricing for subsequent option periods will be evaluated in the same manner, but at a later date.

(b) Proposed delivery and redelivery rates shall be all inclusive fixed price rates which include administrative overhead and fuel cost. In order to protect the contractor and Government against significant market fluctuations, the Government will allow contractors to submit new pricing each fiscal year. The new pricing will be used for ensuing option periods, should they be exercised.

(c) In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g) Unbalanced Pricing, the Government may determine a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced. Unbalanced pricing exists when the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated and poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(d) Adequate price competition is expected; therefore, other than certified cost or pricing data is not being requested initially. However, should the Contracting Officer make a determination during the evaluation process that adequate price competition does not exist, other than certified cost or pricing information may be requested for evaluation purposes along with comparing proposed prices to other commercial prices paid or historical data to assist in negotiations and/or the price reasonableness determination.

(e) Options. The four one-year option periods will be unpriced at the time of award. The option year rates will be competed and evaluated prior to exercising each contractor’s option period. The Government will conduct a price analysis to determine whether the prices are fair and reasonable.

(f) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(g) If the Government extends the contract pursuant to FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, such extension shall be at the rates in effect under the contract when the option is exercised.
