THE QUOTES USING LOW PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE EVALUATION CRITERIA:

QUOTERS – PLEASE SEE THE FOLLOWING FOR EVALUATION CRITERIA

The following Best Value Factors listed will be used to evaluate the Quotes using Low Price Technically Acceptable Evaluation Criteria – GO – NO GO Criteria:

TECHNICAL APPROACH

DELIVERY

PAST PERFORMANCE

CONSTRUCTIVE ACCEPTANCE

Technical Acceptance Factor #1: Technical Approach Quoters shall provide a technical submission to summarize compliance and the quoters ability to meet the requirements listed in the Performance Specification.

Quoters shall provide 1,400 rounds of 5.56mm Special Ball, Long Range, MK 262 MOD 1 as product samples for this requirement being solicited. Product samples will be evaluated by NSWC Crane personnel against the performance specification identified in this solicitation. The 1,400 product sample rounds must be of identical configuration to what is being quoted in in reponse to this solicitation. If a quoter submits multiple quotes which entail differing configurations, 1,400 rounds are required per quotation/configuration proposed. With the submission of the product samples additional documentation identifying components used to manufacture the cartidge shall be provided. This includes case, primer, propellant and projectile.

Product samples will first be evaluated by NSWC Crane against Performance Specification DTL-JXNN-F 17- 0017 REV D/CHG 2, Go/No Go criteria. Evaluation of the product sample(s) will initially consist of confirming that the product samples meet the Go/No-Go criteria of specification paragraph number 3.3.1

(Projectile), 3.3.2 (Cartridge Case), 3.3.3 (Propellant), 3.3.4. I (Primer), 3.4.2 (Primer Seating Depth), 3.4.3 (Case Mouth Diameter), 3.4.4 (Cartridge Overall Length), 3.4.5 (Bullet Extraction Force), 3.5.1 (Velocity),

3.5.2 (Chamber Pressure), 3.5.3 (Port Pressure), 3.5.4 (Dispersion) and 3.5.5 (Funaction and Casualty) as noted in 4.6.2 of the Specification and laid out in Appedix A, B and C of the specification. Failing the Go/No- Go requirements of the tests listed above will result in the a “No-Go” for technical approach. Product samples that successfully pass evaluation will be considered “technically acceptable”.

As part of the technical evaluation, laboratory measurements and field tests may be used to determine product compliance with the performance specification.

**PRODUCT SAMPLES ARE TO BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 19 JULY 2024**

NOTE: Government will accpet RAMSHOT – TAC power provided that the origin of the manufacturer.

Technical Acceptance Factor #2: Delivery Quoters will need to fill out the clause 52.211-8 for evaluation by the Government. All vendors who can meet the Governments required delivery date will be deemed technically acceptable. The Government will not review individual quotes for delivery only clause 52.211-8.

Technical Acceptance Factor #3: Past Performance Past performance will be evaluated based on the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

In accordance with (IAW) provision 252.204-7024(e) the Government will review the Quoter’s Summary Report" for Product Service Code (PSC) information. IAW provision 252.204-7024(c)(3), the Government will also utilize the "Suppliers Risk Report" will be utilized to assess the risk of unsuccessful performance and supply chain risk. Below is a snapshot of the supplier color legend listed in the report in each report. In addition, IAW provision 252.204-7024(c)(1) and (2) the Government will review the Quoter's “Item/Risk Report” to determine whether the procurement represents high performance risk to the Government as well as to ensure the quoted pricing is consistent with historical prices paid for the products or otherwise creates a risk for the Government.

Summary Report:

The Government will review the summary report score for the PSC(s) associated with this effort only.

Supplier Risk Report:

The Government will review the supplier risk score as well as the suspected counterfeit area.

Item/Price Risk Report:

Past performance will be based on GO / NO GO basis. An unacceptable (NO GO) equals a yellow or red listing in the SPRS system for the PSC(s) in the summary report as well as the supplier risk score/suspected counterfeit area and the item/price risk report. A quoter with no past performance (scores in either summary or supplier risk report) will be evaluated as neutral.
