2. Ongoing Delivery Schedule

2.1 The ongoing delivery schedule of this Term Contract is six month (6) from the date of award. The total ongoing delivery schedule shall not exceed six months.

This term contract is an interim solution to supply transformation to move items that are currently stocked in the WDC and EDC warehouses. The resulting TERM CONTRACT is subject to cancellation at the Government's sole convenience once the 0S3 requisition channel contracts are awarded

3. Evaluation Factors:

Evaluation will be based on price, delivery and past performance as well as the below technical capability factors, however price is considered to be the most important factor.

Delivery will be 7-10 calendar days ARO (after receipt of order) to various direct delivery locations within the continental United States and 7-10 calendar days to Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska

3.1 Price Evaluation

The government will evaluate quotes received based on a best value determination.

Award will be based on fair and reasonable determination using the evaluation criteria of lowest price technically acceptable on a line by line basis. Upon receipt of all offers, the government will sort offers based on total price per line item and an award will be made to the offer with the lowest price and technically acceptable. No further offers will be evaluated when we determine our best value determination. If the lowest price is deemed not technically accepted, then the government will evaluate the second lowest price, and so forth for each line item. The government does not anticipate entering into discussions. The evaluation factors that apply to this acquisition include:

price, quality of the product, and compliance with solicitation requirements as outlined in the IPD, as well as, non-cost evaluation factors such as past performance. Adequate price competition is anticipated in response to this solicitation. Non-certified cost and/or pricing data may be requested for this evaluation but is not required. In the event that there is only one quote received, other than certified cost and pricing data maybe requested.

3.2 Past Performance Evaluation

A responsibility determination will be conducted to include review of past performance including FAPIIS, SAM, and EPLS. Reports will be retrieved by each Quoter's DUNS.

Assessment reports covering the previous 3 years from the RFQ closing date, with NAICS Code 424120 will be evaluated. The following PPIRS rated categories will be reviewed:

-Quality of Product

-Delivery Schedule

-Cost Control

-Business Relations

If it is determined through the review of the SAM.gov and FAPIIS.gov assessment reports that a quoter has more than two poor and/or unsatisfactory ratings in any of the above mentioned categories within the past 3 years from RFQ closing date, the quoter will be determined non-responsive and the quote, in its entirety, will be removed from evaluation. In circumstances where a quoter does not have any SAM.gov or

FAPIIS.gov assessment reports, they will be deemed neutral as opposed to responsive or non-responsive.

Please note that the Government reserves the right to review vendor past performance through additional methods such as ACO Report Cards, Surveys, FSS

Online reports, if necessary.

3.3 Technical Capability

http://sam.gov/ http://fapiis.gov/ http://sam.gov/ http://fapiis.gov/

The following rating criteria will be considered to determine technical capability: The vendor's proposed products will be compared to and verified to meet all requirements of the IPD.

Acceptable: The quoter meets and/or exceeds delivery schedule. (7-10 calendar days ARO) The quoter has demonstrated the ability to satisfactorily perform the requirements and specifications described in this solicitation.

Unacceptable: The quoter does not meet and/or exceed the delivery schedule (7-10 calendar days ARO). The quote provided fails to demonstrate a satisfactory understanding of the requirements and specifications described in this solicitation in one or more areas. Responses that indicate non-compliance of the solicitation requirements would cause significant concern that there would be a high risk of nonperformance or backorders associated with the vendor's performance.

This would include seamless access to shipping functionality, from the time of order entry to time of delivery with integration into EDI. At a minimum, this must include translation of event data from shippers, event monitoring (with expected and actual transit times), and alert notification.

4.4 Order Items and Pricing

Unless otherwise specified, all deliveries are to be made FOB destination within 7-10 calendar days after the receipt of order (ARO).

5. Delivery:

FOB Destination

Destination:

CONUS & OCONUS for All Part Numbers

5.1 Free on Board (F.O.B.):

All orders to be delivered to the Continental United States (CONUS), Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and U.S. Territories will be shipped F.O.B. Destination in accordance with FAR Clause 52.247-34 F.O.B. Destination (Nov 2001).

5.2 Delivery Schedule and Transportation

5.2.1 Continental United States (CONUS): Delivery time required is 7-10 calendar days after

Receipt of Order (ARO).

5.2.2 Outside of the Continental United States (OCONUS): Delivery time required to GSA consolidation/packing location is 7-10 Calendar Days after Receipt of Order

(ARO).

5.2.3 Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico and U.S. Territories: Delivery required to receiving office shall be made no later than 6-7 Business Days after Receipt of Order (ARO) for AK, HI, PR and US TERRITORIES

5.2.4 Overseas Shipments & Export Consideration (OCONUS): Orders for overseas activities will be mailed to an APO/FPO address or shipped to a designated state-side location identified on the notices to deliver. Items ordered by Government customers from overseas locations are often routed through military freight processing centers and transportation channels. Special procedures relate to the recognition, packing, labeling, marking, and routing of such shipments. The vendor will be expected to book shipments in DOD's air clearance and surface manifesting systems (GSA will arrange training as necessary).

Until necessary training can be provided, GSA intends that initially all non-mailable orders for overseas shipment will be routed through a GSA Distribution Center for export marking, packaging and shipment to a military freight processing center. This will be "phased out" once the vendor is able to export directly into the Defense

Transportation System once training and adequate transition time has been provided.

6 I Page

Vendors shall ship directly to an overseas address if a Government customer has a World

Wide Express account number. For export orders over 800 cubic feet or 10,000 pounds the vendor will contact the designated GSA POC to be identified after award to arrange seavan booking. Packaging for shipments to overseas locations (i.e. where final consignee is non-CONUS) must be suitable for export shipping without requiring additional preservation, or packing/packaging.

5.2.5 Charges for Packaging, Packing and Marking (GSAM 552.211-76) The rate provided for in paragraph (b) of 48 CRF 552.211-73, Marking, is $150.00 per man-hour or fraction thereof for the first man-hour, $70 per man-hour or fraction thereof for the second man-hour and after with a minimum of 2 man-hours.

6. Export Procedures

6.1 General:

Shipments to GSA DoD overseas customers are shipped using the Defense Transportation System (DTS).

Shipments to federal civilian agencies are shipped via the GBL

(Government Bill of Lading) method.

Export shipments must be marked in accordance with FED-STD 123H for civilian agencies and MIL-STD 129P for military and Department of

Defense Agencies. Marking requirements can be found at:

https://vsc.gsa.gov/Marking Labeling Packaging

6.2 Routing instructions: Vendor will comply with routing instructions contained in item 10. SHIP TO/REQUIRED MARKING of the GSA notices to deliver, GSA form 3186, or EDI/XML. When directed, vendors must register with the GSA VANS (Value Added Network System program management office for electronic transmission of notices to deliver information from GSA to the vendor and for vendor transmission of requests for shipping instructions to a

GSA

https://vsc.gsa.gov/Marking regional transportation office. The appropriate GSA transportation office will determine the method and mode of shipment. Vendors will comply with the instructions from the GSA regional transportation office. Vendors are subject to payment of any charges or penalties over what would have been charged had the vendor followed the instructions from the GSA regional transportation office.

6.3 General Routing Determination: A Container-Load (CL) shipment is defined as a shipment that is 800 cft in volume or greater and/or 10,000 lbs or greater in weight, or any shipment which will occupy half of a standard 20' dry seavan, when the volume and weight of the container contents are evenly distributed over the floor of the container (for export purposes a seavan is referred to as a "container").

6.4 DoD DTS export shipments to DoD consignees: Shipping instructions for surface export LCL (Less-than container-Load) shipments will be provided in block10 of the GSA notice to deliver. Routing information for export air and export Container Load (CL) shipments, and shipments consigned to US Navy vessels, will be provided by a GSA regional transportation office. Vendors will be directed to move LCL surface (water) shipments to a DoD containerization and consolidation point (CCP). The GSA regional transportation office will obtain instructions from the Navy for LCL shipments to Navy vessels, and pass these on to the vendor.

6.5 Civilian agency export shipments: Civilian agency export CL and

LCL shipments will be routed and shipped via the GBL method.

6.6 Vendor Shipping Responsibilities: Vendors will not ship a CL shipment to a depot. CL shipments shipped to a depot will be refused and diverted to a temporary safe haven or will be booked directly to a vessel and will be delivered to a water port. Vendors shipping CL shipments to depots in violation of this rule will be responsible for reshipment charges or any charges over what it would have taken to ship the shipment had the GSA regional office routed the shipment.

6.7 FOB Destination shipments: FOB Destination CL shipments will be booked directly to a vessel and will be routed to a CONUS (Continental

United States) seaport port or, in the case of shipments to Canada and areas south of CONUS, to the point at or near the border at which the shipment will exit the CONUS. In the case of Navy shipments to vessels the vendor will be directed to deliver CL or LCL shipments to a designated receipt point.

6.8 Source Loading and/or Container Stuffing: Container stuffing is the loading or placing of items into a seavan for export shipment. Source loading is the stuffing of a container at a vendor's inland facility. Source loading minimizes the exposure of a shipment to damage through second handling. Source loading maintains vendor liability for damages/shortage to the container contents provided there is no external evidence of damage to the container, the seal is unbroken, or there is a damage report from a carrier that handled the container. Source loading is the express policy of

GSA. Transportation and related FOB Destination charges are the vendor's responsibility and vendors are responsible for all charges to port in gate (delivery of and transit through the port gate to ocean carriers' port terminals). Transportation and related charges after port in gate are the responsibility of the overseas customer.

Source loading provides stuffmg of containers at vendors' facilities at vendors' expense and eliminates unnecessary costs to the customer consignee. Stuffing charges are not to be passed on to the customer unless the vendor can prove that a monetary benefit will accrue to the government/customer.

6.9 Container Procurement: In the case of FOB Origin shipments the ocean carrier is responsible for spotting empty containers at vendors' facilities and transporting loaded containers to a seaport. In the case of FOB Destination shipments the vendor is responsible for following ocean carriers instructions for obtaining an empty container, transporting the empty container to the vendor loading facility, loading

(stuffing) the container, and transporting the loaded container to the seaport. All

FOB Origin transportation charges are charged to the consignee customer. FOB

Destination. CONUS inland charges as outlined within this paragraph are the responsibility of the vendor, to and through in gate.

6.10 Rollovers and Advances: GSA CL surface export shipments are booked directly to a vessel. Booking is the reservation of container space aboard a vessel. A

Rollover ("roll) is the rebooking of a shipment from a vessel to which booked to an earlier vessel sailing. Vendor is responsible for notifying the GSA regional transportation office NLT 48 hours prior to the vessel cutoff date of any requirement to advance or roll a booking. Vendors are subject to $250.00 in liquidated damages for failing to notify the GSA regional transportation office of a need to advance or roll a shipment within 24 hours of the vessel/gate cutoff.

6.11 Shipping and customs documents: Upon booking the GSA regional transportation office will furnish the vendor shipping and customs documents.

Vendor will comply with instructions contained therein.

6.12 Special instructions for CENTCOM consigned containers: Seavan(s) consigned to the Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations (Afghanistan, Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, etc.) are required to be fitted with a Radio Frequency

Identification (RFID) tag and 72" cable seals and 1/4" bolt seals. Cable and bolt seals must be provided by the vendor, however RFID tags will be provided by GSA.

It is imperative that as the container(s) is/are loaded (or as soon as possible thereafter) required information in the SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS (DRAFT) is provided to the

GSA regional transportation office. Once the GSA regional transportation office receives the required information they will prepare Radio Frequency Identification

(RFID) tag(s), custom forms, and the final Sis, (Shipping Instructions) for each container. These will be FedEx'd to vendors before noon next day delivery. Each tag and its documents are unique to that one container, and may not be switched or substituted. Seavan(s) must remain overnight until the RFID tag(s), etc., arrive, therefore when the transportation company calls to deliver the sea van, vendors must alert them that the seavans will be a "Drop & Pick".

6.13 Packaging, Marking, Labeling and Documentation: Packaging, marking, labeling and documentation shall be in accordance with the requirements in the MAS contract. In the least, commercial documentation shall be included.

6.14 Commercial Documentation Requirement: A shipping document (packing list) will be produced and provided for all packages for orders designated as commercial. The commercial shipping document will list all items included in the package or box. All variable data will be either transmitted to the contractor on the

EDI 850 Notice to Deliver or derived from the contractor's internal cataloging/product information. The commercial shipping document will be furnished with each shipment. In a one-package shipment the commercial shipment document shall be affixed to the exterior of the package using an adhesive, packing list envelope. Multi-package shipments will be clearly labeled in a manner to reference the commercial shipping document, which shall be affixed to the lead carton. For "multi-packs" (boxes containing more than one type of product) a copy of the commercial documentation shall additionally be included in the box clearly identifying box contents.

7. Status Reports of Orders and Shipment GSAM 552.242-70 (Feb. 2009) The Contractor shall furnish to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) a report covering orders received and shipments made during each calendar month of contract performance. The information required by the Government shall be reported on
