2. The Government will also review the second evaluation factor: Past Performance. The Government intends to award to the firm who is the best value to the Government with regards to passing PDMs, and acceptable Past Performance and Price. Passing PDMs and Past Performance when combined are more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated price becomes more important. From among the firms with Passing PDMs, the Government will then select the responsible firm that complies with terms and conditions of the solicitation, and an award to that firm is considered in the best interest of the Government. If the firm fits these criteria, award will be made to them. If not, the Government will review each subsequent technically acceptable offer until one is identified that does meet the criteria, in which case award will be made to that firm.

NOTE: A rating of Unacceptable for PDM will result in the offer being removed from award consideration and the proposal will not be reviewed any further.

NOTE: The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance up until award.

3. This solicitation will contain a Two-Phase Technical/Price Evaluation.

The Government anticipates that numerous offerors will submit proposals on this solicitation.

During this preliminary evaluation, all offerors Product Demonstration Models (PDMs) and proposed prices will be evaluated. Certain offerors may be excluded from further consideration at this point, if their PDM ratings and/or offered prices are not competitive when compared with PDM ratings and prices proposed by other offerors. The remaining offers will then be evaluated for the remaining technical and past performance evaluation factors. After the completion of this review, the contracting officer will determine whether to establish a competitive range and conduct negotiations, or to award without discussions.

4. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations with a competitive range group of offerors from among firms with most highly rated offers. If negotiations are conducted, award will be made to the offeror (based on final proposal revision) that is the best value to the Government, has a passing PDM or better, and is determined responsible and compliant with the solicitation terms and conditions based on an “integral assessment of PDM, Past Performance and Price".

The Maximum Quantity for the contract (all 3 tiers combined) is 125% of the AEQ or 368,000 units x 1.25 = 460,000 per tier or 460,000 x 3 tiers = 1,380,000 units

The Guaranteed Minimum Quantity of 92,000 pair can be met by any combination of items during the life of the resultant contract.

Notes Regarding Guaranteed Minimum Dollar Value, Guaranteed Minimum Quantity, submission of Unit Prices and Delivery Terms

Each Price Tier Period represents a 12-month period.

The Government is only bound to order the Contract Guaranteed Minimum Quantity of 92,000 pair for one (1) contract.

However, in fulfilling the guaranteed minimum quantity, the total dollar value expended by the Government shall not exceed the dollar value of the guaranteed minimum quantity procured at the lowest unit price established under the contract and is hereafter referred to as the “guaranteed minimum dollar value.” The Government will be considered to have fulfilled its obligation to order the guaranteed minimum quantity when the guaranteed minimum dollar value has been met.

The Guaranteed Minimum dollar value is the final agreed lowest unit price between the Government and the contractor for the item, multiplied by the Guaranteed Minimum Quantity for the contract.

Government Acceptance Testing. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, testing performed at the DLA PTC for acceptance purposes will be completed in forty five (45) calendar days. The contract delivery requirements are based on the assumption that DLA Troop Support and the DLA PTC will require a total of 45 calendar days from the date of the receipt of samples at the Government laboratory to the date the completed test results are mailed to the contractor.

If this time frame is exceeded, the contract delivery schedule will be extended by the number of additional days needed to complete the testing, provided the contractor can establish that the delay in its delivery was caused by the Government exceeding the prescribed time.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 16 OF 76 PAGES

The foregoing provision for the extension of delivery schedules is exclusive and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract by reason of any delay of the Government in providing test results.

The prime contractor will require the fabric or component supplier to present to the source QAS the complete lot prepared for shipment, a set of tally sheets by shipment listing case numbers, roll numbers, and yardage of each roll and a shade swatch (header) from each roll with roll and case numbers identified on each swatch.

The following sampling procedure will be followed unless otherwise specified.

- SHADE SAMPLING IS APPLICABLE

- The color of the test specimen shall match the standard sample viewed using AATCC Evaluation Procedure 9, Option A, with sources simulating artificial daylight D75 illuminant with a color temperature of 7500 (+/- 200)°K, with illumination of 100 (+/- 20) foot candles, and shall be a good match to the standard sample under incandescent lamplight at 2856 (+/- 200)°K.

(b) The swatches shall be submitted to the Government laboratory for shade evaluation. If any swatches are rejected, the end items made from the rejected component lot shall also be rejected. In these instances, the Contractor shall without cost to the Government, cut additional shade swatches from each remaining piece or roll in the rejected sample lot which was not previously sampled and submit these swatches to the Government for shade evaluation.

(c) Swatches submitted in accordance with (a) and (b) above, shall also be evaluated for uniformity of shade when so specified in section 3 of the fabric specification and when the standard sample is referenced for uniformity of shade.

Notification. The vendor shall notify the DLA-PTC representative via email between fourteen (14) calendar days and thirty (30) days from when lots are to be presented to the QAS. This allows arrangements to be made if the lab specialist requests to witness testing at the place of performance. The DLA-PTC will reply in writing by the date of lot presentation, whether witnessing, or side-by-samples, are requested. If no reply is received by the date of presentation to the QAS, the contractor may proceed.

Notifications should include:

Commercial lab contact information Government lot # Contract Product Specification Date of lot presentation to the QAS Certified Test Reports. Test reports shall be signed and certified by the testing facility, accompanied with a DD Form 1222 and emailed to the Government for evaluation to the following address: paactlab@dla.mil.

The test report presented to the Government shall be not older than ninety (90) calendar days. A separate report shall be provided from each test facility when a single lot of material, components, or end items is tested by more than one test facility for different characteristics.
