THE FOLLOWING NAVSUP LOCAL TEXT IS HEREBY MADE PART OF THE STATEMENT OF

WORK/PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT.

NAVSUP FLC San Diego may utilize contractor support through the AbilityOne Program, as needed, to perform contract closeout functions for this acquisition. Information, including business sensitive/confidential or proprietary data, that the offeror provides to the Government or information already in the possession of the Government may be viewed and utilized by the AbilityOne Program support contractor personnel during the course of its contract performance. The information that may be made available to the support contractor may include, for example, pricing and technical proposals, historical contract, pricing and performance information, Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) reporting information and similar data/information.

By submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation, the offeror and its subcontractors consent to a release of their business sensitive/confidential or proprietary data to the Government's AbilityOne Program support contractor personnel in order to perform close out services. Prior to the release of any such information to the support contractor, the support contractor will have in place with the Government a Non-Disclosure/Non-Use Agreement in accordance with the terms of the AbilityOne Program support contract.

Offerors may execute their own Non-Disclosure Agreement with the AbilityOne Program (AbilityOne contact information available from the contracting point of contact). The support contractor must provide copies of the executed agreements to the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for the support contract; and the offeror/contractor for this acquisition must provide copies of the executed Agreement to the Contracting Officer for this acquisition. If the offeror/contractor seeks such a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the AbilityOne Program support contractor, the Agreement must be executed no later than the date of final delivery under the resulting NAVSUP FLC San Diego contract.

REVIEW OF AGENCY PROTESTS

The contracting activity, Fleet Logistics Center San Diego (FLCSD) will process agency protests in accordance with the requirements set forth in FAR 33.103(d).

Pursuant to FAR 33.103(d)(4), agency protests may be filed directly with the appropriate reviewing authority; or, a protester may appeal a decision rendered by a contracting officer to the reviewing authority.

The reviewing authority for FLCSD is the Director, Regional Contracts Department, Fleet Logistics Center San Diego at 3985 Cummings Road, San Diego, CA 92136-4200. Agency procurement protests should clearly identify the initial adjudicating official, i.e., the "contracting officer" or "reviewing official".

Offerors should note this review of the Contracting Officer's decision will not extend GAO's timeliness requirements. Therefore, any subsequent protest to GAO must be filed within 10 days of knowledge of initial adverse agency action.

UNIT PRICES

Contractor unit prices, when incorporated into a Government contract, may be releasable under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) in the event NAVSUP FLCSD receives a FOIA request.

For supplies: New Equipment ONLY; NO remanufactured or "gray market" items. All items must be covered by the manufacturer's warranty.

No partial shipments are permitted unless specifically authorized at the time of award.

PROVISION BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items (NOV 2021)

(a)The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror who’s offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i)technical; (ii) past performance; and (iii) price

Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than price.

(b)Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c)A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

***ADDENDUM to FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

Award will be made on a best value trade-off basis to the quote/offer that represents the Best Value to the Government.

The following three (3) factors shall be used to evaluate quote(s):

FACTOR I: Technical

1.Offerors shall provide the exact brand name product and part number in the quantity requested by the required delivery date.

NOTE: If the contractor fails to address in their quote submission any of the above, they will be deemed unacceptable and will not be further considered for award

The term “technical,” as used herein, refers to non-cost/price factors other than past performance. The purpose of the technical factor is to assess whether the Quoter’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s requirements. The Technical Evaluation Team shall evaluate the Quoter’s proposal against these requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable, using the ratings and descriptions outlined in the table below.

FACTOR II: PAST PERFORMANCE

Evaluation of past performance will be based on information obtained from FAPIIS/SPRS, CPARS, SAM, previous contracts, as well as any other sources which may have relevant information.

The Government will focus its inquiry of the Offeror’s record of past performance as it relates to timeliness, quality, cost control, and customer satisfaction. The Government will assign one Past Performance Confidence rating to each Offeror using the five levels of confidence as shown in “Past Performance Confidence” Table below. This rating will become the Offeror’s overall rating for Past Performance.

Factor II Grading Criteria – Past Performance Confidence:

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR

15.305 (a)(2) (iv)). These offerors will be assigned the Neutral rating. However, the quote of an offeror with no relevant past performance history, while rated Neutral in past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the government when compared to the quotes of other offerors.

FACTOR III: PRICE

Price will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 13.106-3(a).

The Quoter shall provide a single summary quote that supports the total amount of the deliverables listed under line item 0001. Pricing shall be firm-fixed price.

(End of provision)

Notice to Vendor(s): The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date of receipt of quotations. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse the vendor for any costs.

52.252-5 Authorized Deviations in Provisions.

(a) The use in this solicitation of any Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 1) provision with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of “(DEVIATION)” after the date of the provision.

(b) The use in this solicitation of any Defense Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR Chapter 2) provision with an authorized deviation is indicated by the addition of “(DEVIATION)” after the name of the regulation.

(2) Will evaluate offers of qualifying country end products without regard to the restrictions of the Buy American statute or the Balance of Payments Program.
