About this file

This document outlines the process for evaluating proposed weight reductions and adjusting total evaluated prices for lightweight body armor plates under solicitation M67854-19-R-1500. Offerors must propose a single claimed weight reduction percentage for all front and back plate sizes as well as side plates. The government will verify weights by weighing samples and adjust the claimed percentages if necessary to match the heavier verified weights. Based on the verified percentages, the government establishes price adjustments in $15 or $75 increments for each contract line item number. The total evaluated price incorporating these adjustments is then compared to the total proposed price in evaluating proposals. Offerors are instructed to propose blended unit prices for all plate sizes.

Lightweight Plate Value Adjusted Total Evaluated Price Process

Step 1: Offeror submits a single claimed weight reduction percentage for all front/back plate sizes.

Offerors shall propose a single claimed weight reduction percentage in accordance with Section M.3.4.2, Table 10 for all front/back plate sizes (XS, SM, MD, LG, and XL) in the written proposal (L.3.2.1.3).

Example:

Offeror’s Proposed Claimed Weight Reduction Percentage for Front/Back Plates: 12% Reduction

Step 2: Offeror submits a single claimed weight reduction percentage for the side plate sizes.

Offerors shall also propose a single claimed weight reduction percentage in accordance with Section M.3.4.2, Table 11 for the two side plate sizes (6x6 and 6x8) in the written proposal (L.3.2.1.3.).

Step 3: Government verifies the claimed weights by weighing the samples.

To calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP), the Government will weigh the 62 source selection samples submitted in accordance with Section L.3.2.1.2. Weight shall be taken on a tarred scale and rounded to the nearest .01 pound.

In the event the Government verified weights are heavier than the weights associated with the Offeror’s claimed weight reduction percentage, the Government will adjust the claimed weight reduction percentage to the next weight reduction percentage associated with the heavier weight.

Government Verified Weights
2.09 lbs
2.58 lbs
2.99 lbs
3.48 lbs
4.05 lbs

In the example, the Government verified weight of 4.05 lbs for the X-Large front/back plate exceeds the Offeror’s associated claimed weight of 3.98 lbs. The Government will adjust the claimed weight reduction percentage of 12% to the weight reduction percentage that is equal to or heavier than the Government verified weight of 4.05 lbs, which in this example is 10% reduction.

For Side Lightweight Plates, the Government verified weight of 1.06 for the 6x6 Lightweight Plate exceeds the Offeror’s associated claimed weight of 1.05. The Government will adjust the claimed weight reduction percentage of 8% to the weight reduction percentage that is equal to or heavier than the Government verified weight of 1.06 lbs, which in this example is 6% reduction.

Step 4: Government establishes a TEP adjustment for the unit price based on percentage reduction.

Finally, the Government will establish a TEP adjustment for the unit price based on the offeror’s Government verified claimed weight reduction percentage using Tables 10 and 11 (M.3.4.2).

The TEP will be used for source selection purposes only. The Government will award a contract to the successful offeror in the amount of the TPP (M.3.4.2).

The awardee’s Government verified claimed weight will be incorporated into the Specification and will become the threshold for contract performance. For sizes XS-S, SM-S, and SM-L, the Performance Specification will show a threshold weight equivalent in areal density to the threshold weights for the other front/back plate sizes (M.3.4.2).
