BID EVALUATION AND CONTRACT AWARD

Bidding Process:

The bid shall consist of an amount per unit of issue specified in U.S. currency. Be advised certain risk factors could affect a bidder’s assessment of this contract and the calculations supporting the resulting bid. Under no circumstances is the Agency or the Government responsible for any assumptions, planning factors, or decisions related to determining the bid.

The Government expects all the terms and conditions of the contract to be met at the bid price submitted. At no time will the Government pay the Purchaser to take material offered. There shall be no reimbursement to the Purchaser under this contract except for the limited circumstances related to reimbursement of actual expenses incurred for return of property directed by the Government. This is not a service contract administered in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR). This is a contract for the sale of scrap pursuant to provision in Title 40, US Code, Chapter 5. The Government is not responsible for any indirect expenses related to performance under this contract. The measure of the Government’s liability, in any case where liability of the Government to the Purchaser has been established, shall not exceed refund of such portion of the purchase price as the Government may have received. The Government is not responsible for any indirect, inconsequential, or completeness (through assumption of sales value, act or omission of factors) of expenses related to performance under this contract. The measure of the Government’s liability, in any case where liability of the Government to the Purchaser has been established, shall not exceed refund of such portion of the purchase price as the Government may have received.

How to Bid:

Use the SF114 and SF114A provided with this IFB to submit a bid. Bidder shall enter bid as a price per LOT (36).

Minimum bid is $1.00 USD per LOT (36). Multiply your bid price by the quantity indicated in this IFB, 36 LOTS, to calculate your extended bid amount.

For illustrative purposes, if the item advertised for sale in the IFB is in LOTS and for a total quantity of 36 LOTS and Bidder A’s bid price is $1.00 per LOT, then $1.00 USD times 36 LOTS equals $36.00 USD. The $36.00 USD would be Bidder A’s extended bid amount.

Do not email bids or call-in bids directly to the SCO. Email bid to: dla.sales@dla.mil

A Responsive Bid:

Complies with the terms and conditions of the sales offering and satisfies the requirements as to the method and timeliness of the submission. Only responsive bids will be considered for award. A responsive bid submission shall contain at a minimum:

• SF114 completed and signed.

• SF114A

mailto:dla.sales@dla.mil

When to Send Bid:

Bids must be in the possession of the Agency’s Public Sales Contracting Division by the offer closing date and time specified in this IFB. If the bid is not submitted on time, it shall be considered non-responsive. Late rules are outlined in FAR 52.212-1(f). Pay particular attention to the provisions that relate to the timing of e-mail submissions.

How to Modify/Cancel Bid:

In addition to SBR Part 4, Paragraphs 3 and 4, by submitting a new bid in the same manner as the previous bid.

Separately, without disclosing bid amounts, notify the SCO of the modification. To cancel a bid, submit a zero (0) bid in the same manner as the original bid. Notify the SCO of the bid cancellation (specify date, time and method of bid submission).

Bid Acceptance Period:

The bid must remain valid 120 calendar days from the bid opening unless otherwise modified or cancelled.

Bid Evaluation:

A responsible bidder is one that has the necessary organization, experience, financial resources, accounting process, operational controls, technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them, to perform the requirements of the sales contract, has no disqualifying factors (i.e., is not suspended, debarred or an ineligible transferee) and able to pass the Agency’s vetting process. A responsive bidder is one that has complied with all instructions for properly submitting a bid. Submitting the highest bid price does not convey any special right nor does it imply that the Purchaser shall be the primary removal company or exclusively allowed to remove throughout the term of this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any bids that are not in the best interest of the Government.

The general standards in FAR Part 9 on contractor responsibility determinations that are applicable to procurement contracts are not directly applicable to sales contracts awarded under 40 U.S. Code § 545 but may be considered by the Sales Contracting Officer in evaluating bidder responsibility.

The SCO shall determine if each bid is responsive and responsible prior to award of the contract. The contract shall be awarded to the highest responsive, responsible bid. In the event of termination of the original Purchaser, the SCO may award the contract to the next highest responsive, responsible bidder if bids have not expired, and such award is otherwise determined to be in the Government's best interest. The Government intends to make a single contract award to the responsible bidder with the highest priced responsive bid, unless a determination is made to reject the bid under 41 CFR § 102-38.205.

The Government intends to make a single contract award based on the apparent high bid for the lot (36). The Agency intends to award one contract to a responsible bidder with the highest priced, responsive bid.

Ineligible Bidder:

A Bidder will not be eligible for award if they are:

• Excluded from Federal programs by the General Services Administration as identified in the System for Award Management at https://sam.gov/.

• Subject to denial, suspension, debarment, or other sanctions pursuant to export control and related laws, regulations, or orders administered by the DOS, DOC, DHS, or USTD.

The Apparent High Bidder shall cooperate in the Pre-Award process by assisting in arrangements and/or by providing requested information in a timely manner. Be advised that the Pre-Award survey and providing documents to the Government is part of the evaluation to determine responsibility and is not a guarantee of contract award. To facilitate the Pre-Award Survey, you have five business days to Complete and return SOI and EUC to the

SCO.

The Environmental Support Branch of Disposition Services will conduct an Environmental Responsibility Determination (ERD) on sale destinations to verify if the DoD purchased property will be managed in accordance with the Invitation for Bid, Statement of Intent, Federal, state, and local regulations.

The Environmental Support Branch of Disposition Services will conduct an ERD on sale destinations to verify if the DoD purchased property will be managed in accordance with the Invitation for Bid, Statement of Intent, Federal, state, and local regulations. List all downstream facilities receiving Government property to be processed in the Statement of Intent. Do not list downstream recipients of processed property.

ERDs typically take 10 business days to complete. Any findings annotated by the Government during an ERD must be corrected prior to a proposed destination/facility’s use. Purchaser is not authorized to process Government material at a site other than those listed on the SOI.
