D BID EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

D.1 Bidding Process:

The Purchaser’s bid shall consist of an amount per unit of issue specified in U.S. currency. Prospective bidders should be aware of certain risk factors that could affect a bidder’s assessment of this contract and the calculations supporting the resulting bid. Under no circumstances is the Agency or the Government responsible for any assumptions, planning factors, or decisions the Purchaser made related to determining their high bid. This is a firm fixed price contract where the bid price is expressed in U.S. currency specified by the bidder, per unit of issue.

All prospective bidders understand that Disposition Services is awarding this contract during a nationally declared emergency during the COVID-19 pandemic and the general circumstances that exists within the United States in reference to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Purchaser will perform all the requirements under this contract at the bid price submitted by the Purchaser. At no time shall the Government pay the Purchaser to take material offered. There shall be no reimbursement to the

Purchaser under this contract except for the limited circumstances related to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for return of property directed by the Government. The Government is not responsible for any indirect, inconsequential, or completeness (through assumption of sales value, act, or omission of factors) of expenses related to performance under this contract. The measure of the Government’s liability, in any case where liability of the

Government to the Purchaser has been established, shall not exceed refund of such portion of the purchase price as the Government may have received.

D.2 How to Bid:

Bidders shall use the following documents provided with this IFB to submit a bid: the SF114 and SF114A. Bidder shall enter bid as a price per unit of issue not to exceed five decimal places (example 0.01005). Minimum bid is

$0.00001 per unit of issue. Multiply your bid price by the quantity indicated in the “Total QTY” column advertised to calculate your extended bid amount.

The bidder awarded this contract will be awarded all Contract Line Items Numbers (CLINs) or none of the Items.

Bidders must place a bid on each individual Item to be considered for award. Purchaser will be expected to pay the

Unit Bid Price for each Item upon removal based on weight.

The highest priced cumulative bid will be determined by each bidder’s total contract price identified in the “total amount” on the SF114. “Total Amount” block on the SF 114 will be equal to the cumulative total from all CLINs from column “Total Price Bid” on the SF 114A.

The bidder with the highest “TOTAL AMOUNT” bid will be considered the apparent high bidder and will be vetted prior to award in accordance with provisions in Section D below. It is expected that the awarded company will remove all of the items in this IFB or none of the items in this IFB. The awarded company must possess all appropriate license for all items or have sub-contractors with appropriate licenses to remove all Items. Award will not be made to a bidder who demonstrates a capability to remove some, but not all, of the items listed in the IFB.

For illustrative purposes, if the four items advertised for sale in the IFB are in pounds, CLIN 1- 500,000 lbs., CLIN

2- 1,000,000 lbs., CLIN 3- 2,500,000 lbs., and CLIN 4- 150,000. Bidder A bids- CLIN 1 $0.10, CLIN 2 $0.02, CLIN 3- $0.02, CLIN 4 $0.20. “Total Priced Bid” on Example 1 shows Bidder A’s total bid price per CLIN.

Example 2 shows Bidder A’s “Total Amount” equals $150,000 for all CLINs awarded. Do not email bids or call-in bids directly to the SCO.

Email bid to: DRMSSALESBIDS@DLA.MIL

EXAMPLE 1: SF 114A

EXAMPLE 2: SF 114

D.3 A Responsive Bid:

Complies with the terms and conditions of the sales offering and satisfies the requirements as to the method and timeliness of the submission. Only responsive bids may be considered for award. A responsive bid submission shall contain at a minimum:

• SF114 completed and signed.

• SF114A

• The bid must remain valid 90 calendar days from the bid opening unless otherwise modified or cancelled.

mailto:DRMSSALESBIDS@DLA.MIL

D.4 How to Modify/Cancel Bid:

In addition to SBR Part 3, Articles B and C, by submitting a new bid in the same manner as the previous bid.

Separately, without disclosing bid amounts, notify the SCO of the modification. To cancel a bid, submit a zero (0) bid in the same manner as the original bid. Notify the SCO of the bid cancellation (specify date, time, and method of bid submission).

D.5 Bid Evaluation:

A responsible bidder is one that has the necessary organization, experience, financial resources, accounting process, operational controls, technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them, to perform the requirements of the sales contract, has no disqualifying factors (i.e., is not suspended, debarred or an ineligible transferee) and able to pass the Agency’s vetting process. A responsive bidder is one that has complied with all instructions for properly submitting a bid. Submitting the highest bid price does not convey any special right nor does it imply that the

Purchaser shall be the primary removal company or exclusively allowed to remove throughout the term of this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any bids that are not in the best interest of the Government. The general standards in FAR Part 9 on contractor responsibility determinations that are applicable to procurement contracts are not directly applicable to sales contracts awarded under 40 U.S. Code § 545 but may be considered by the

Sales Contracting Officer in evaluating bidder responsibility.

The Government intends that a single award will be made to a responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid inclusive of all lines unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.205. For illustrative purposes, if Bidder A’s bid submission cumulative total submits a bid for $150,000.00 “Total Amount,” and if

Bidder B’s bid submission cumulative total submits a bid for $160,000.00 “Total Amount,” then Bidder B is the apparent high bidder since he/she would have the highest total amount priced responsive bid.

D.6 Ineligible Bidder:

Bidder will not be eligible for award if they are:

• Officially indebted to the Government.

• Excluded from Federal programs by the General Services Administration as identified in the System for

Award Management at https://sam.gov/.

• Subject to denial, suspension, debarment, or other sanctions pursuant to export control and related laws, regulations, or orders administered by the DOS, DOC, DHS, or USTD.

The apparent high bidder is advised that accomplishment of a pre-award survey or furnishing documents to the Agency in support of the pre-award survey is part of the assessment of the bidder’s responsibility and is not a guarantee the bidder will receive award of a contract. The SCO may rely upon information obtained in the pre-award survey in making the assessment of the bidder’s present responsibility.

Once notified that you are the apparent high bidder, you will have ten (10) working days to complete and return to the SCO all documents provided in the AHB Notification.
