MCCUU end item.

b. If awarded a purchase order, before a contractor undertakes performance, the contracting officer shall require written acceptance of the purchase order by the contractor. The Government cannot accept performance by the contractor as a binding agreement.

L.3.2.1.1 Factor 1. Technical Performance

Element 1. Fabric Yardage Sample

Offerors shall provide 10 linear yards (full fabric width of 48 inches minimum (threshold), 60 in

(objective)) of the fabric proposed for NexGen MCCUU in any camouflage print or solid color

(woodland MARPAT preferred if available), and safety data sheets. The sample shall contain a label that includes the solicitation number, unique identifier (e.g., fabric producer, style#), the

Offeror’s Name.

Section J, Attachment 3, and signs and returns the NDA to Anthony Fennell at anthony.fennell@usmc.mil. The Offeror must furnish a written statement on their plan to address the ability to achieve apparent spectral reflectivity target values in their quote.

Offerors shall fill Section J, Attachment 2 table with the data they have obtained in testing on the same fabric style as the source selection sample. The offeror shall provide test reports to substantiate data reported in this form.

The pages containing Section J, Attachment 2 table and substantiating test reports do not count against the quote page limit, and shall be submitted as Appendix A and B, respectively, in the submitted quote. The table may be incorporated in the purchase order and be used for quality assurance purposes. The following uniform data is NOT required for submission of performance compliance; Insect Repellant Active Ingredient Level, USDA bite protection, Instrumented

Marine Corps seabag combat uniform and sustained through DLA under a multi-year contract award. The Offeror shall identify the risk of producing CLIN 0001 fabric as low, moderate, or high and how risk will be mitigated and shall also identify the same for the potential scale up to

DLA procurement.

This written plan will not count against the page limit requirement.
