Delivery Key

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

First Article Test

Production Lot 1

Production Lot 2

The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered non-responsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered non-responsive and rejected.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

THE FOLLOWING NAVSUP LOCAL TEXT IS HEREBY MADE PART OF THE STATEMENT OF WORK/PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT.

EVALUATION OF FIRST ARTICLE TESTING

(a) Offerors are advised that the contract awarded as a result of this solicitation will require first article testing. This requirement may be waived by the Contracting Officer when supplies identical or similar to those called for have previously been delivered by the offeror and accepted by the Government. Therefore, offerors can submit alternative offers, one including testing and approval and the other excluding testing and approval. If the Government waives the requirement for first article unit(s), test plans, testing and test report(s) for eligible offerors, the prices set forth in paragraph (g) will be used in evaluating offers. In addition, all provisions relating to first article testing will be deleted from the resulting contract.

(b) Offerors shall identify these identical or similar supplies by the contract number, agency, national stock number, contract award date, and contract delivery date.

(d) The approved first article serves as a manufacturing standard.

(e) Earlier delivery, if required in case of waiver of first article, shall not be a factor in the evaluation for award.

(f) The prices for first articles and first article tests in relation to production quantities shall not be materially unbalanced, if first article test items or tests are to be separately priced.

(g) Unit price offered if First Article is waived: $___________
