NOTE A

STEPLADDER PRICING

Stepladder pricing is utilized in this solicitation to provide Offerors an opportunity to propose different pricing for separate quantity ranges within applicable Contract Line Items (CLINs). Price evaluation of step ladder CLINs will utilize a randomly selected quantity. Notwithstanding the option to propose different unit pricing for different quantities, the Offeror may propose the same unit price for all quantities.

For all option CLINs with stepladder pricing, the Government may unilaterally exercise a given line item more than once. Option CLINs with stepladder pricing may be exercised until the total quantity purchased equals the maximum quantity listed for that option CLIN in Section B.

MAXIMUM QUANTITY MULTIPLE OPTION QUANTITY CLINS

CLINs, SLINs or other provisions in this contract set forth option quantities associated with option exercise periods.

Offerors should use those estimated quantities for planning purposes and in the preparation of its proposals. After award of the contract, the Government may need to move quantity between these option CLINs. The contract resulting from this solicitation will have a maximum dollar value or a maximum number of units that may be purchased. The Government, may, through contract modification, move quantities of items, labor or estimated costs between the option CLINs as long as the contract maximum is not exceeded.

If pricing varies by option exercise period, the pricing applicable is the pricing applicable when the option is exercised. For example, items moved from option year 4 to option year one will be payable at the rates applicable in option year one.

The following table provides the approximate timeframes that the CLINs and associated SLINs, where applicable, will be awarded or exercised. This information is provided for planning purposes only and is subject to change depending on need and funding availability.

The Contractor shall flow down a requirement for similar notification from Subcontractors to the Contractor. The Contractor shall initiate and submit an alert to the GIDEP within 30 calendar days of knowledge of the counterfeit part or material.

Counterfeit parts and material are defined by SAE AS5553 and SAE AS6174 may be electronic or mechanical in nature. Counterfeit electronic parts may typically be used parts, which have been refurbished and represented as new. Commonly counterfeited electronic parts include parts such as microcontrollers or specially screened devices, or common parts, which have several pin-compatible versions from multiple manufacturers, such as memory devices and operational amplifiers. Counterfeit mechanical parts are typically improperly made, marked, or treated products. Examples are improper anodization or heat treatments, falsified data, mismarked parts sold as a higher-grade steel, or used/fake parts such as valves or circuit breakers.

An authorized supplier is a supplier authorized by the original component manufacturer to buy parts or materials directly from the manufacturer. Parts provided from authorized suppliers typically have never left the manufacturer’s authorized supply chain, and are accompanied by full manufacturer support and warranty.
