Line Item Summary

Solicitation Number:

SBE10014Q5001

Contract Number: Title: Long Lasting Insecticide Mosquito Net BPA

Date of Solicitation:

Line Item No. Description Quantity Unit Unit Price Total Cost

The purpose of this procurement is to establish a means to provide high-end mosquito nets, specifically Long-Lasting Insecticide Nets (LLIN) as part of an initiative to combat malaria for employees posted worldwide. In establishing this Blanket Purchase Agreement, the Contractor shall provide LLINs based on the requirements below.

A long-lasting insecticide net (LLIN) is required for use in areas prone to insecticide-resistant species. Resistance to pyrethroids seems to be the most widespread in the AF region, but also NEA and SCA posts.

The European Logistics Support Office (ELSO) in Antwerp, Belgium, in coordination with the Office of Medical Services (MED) procures and stocks LLINs as part of their Expedited Logistics Program for efficient and effective shipment to post. A Blanket Pur-chase Agreement will allow for a method to routinely replenish the stock at ELSO when needed.

CONTRACT LINE ITEMS:

The Contractor shall provide LLINs in accordance with the specifications listed below, for the Base Year and all Option Years

Required Specifications of all LLINs: At a minimum, all LLINs must be approved or presently undergoing review for approval by the World Health Organization (WHO). Nets must be treated with a chemical combination with proven success in pyrethroid-resistant re-gions worldwide, specifically throughout Africa, the Middle East, and South/Central Asia. The nets must have an active shelf life of a minimum of two-years sealed in the original packaging, plus a minimum of three years active-use, without the need to reapply chem-ical treatment. Nets must retain their biological activity for at least twenty washes, in accordance with the WHO Standard (#95% knockdown or #80% mortality after 3 min exposure).

CLIN X001 Large Long-Lasting Insecticide Net Net must be able to cover a US Standard Full or Standard Queen mattress at a minimum

CLIN X002 Small Long-Lasting Insecticide Net Net must be able to cover a US Standard Twin mattress at a minimum.

CLIN X003 Alternate Size Long-Lasting Insecticide Nets Contractor may propose other net sizes available.

CLIN X004 Freight & ODCs

Annual order volume for LLINs is estimated to be: 8,000 – 10,000 total nets per year. Generally individual BPA calls will be for 1,000 – 2,000 nets throughout the year, not more frequently than once monthly.

There is no guarantee, stated or implied, as to the amount to be purchased during the period of performance of this procurement. This agreement does not have minimum or maximum quantities, other than limitations for individual orders as detailed in Section 1.8

PROJECT MANAGER:

(a) Each packing box shall be of solid construction in accordance with best commercial practices and suffi-ciently strong in direct ratio to the weight of the contents to withstand excessively rough handling while in transit overseas. It shall be constructed of lumber that is well seasoned, reasonably sound, free from bad cross grain and from knots or knotholes that interfere with nailing or that occupy more than 1/3 of the width of the piece of lumber. Box shall be constructed with three-way corners and diagonal bracing. All nails shall be ce-ment-coated, of correct size and properly spaced to avoid splitting or warping, and shall be driven into the grain of the wood. Dimension of lumber shall be in accordance with the following table, dependent upon the weight of the contents:

Weight of box and Minimum dimensions of lumber for struts, contents frame members, and single diagonal braces Up to 45 kg 19.05 x 57.15mm 46 to 113 kg 22.23 x 73.03mm 114 to 181 kg 22.23 x 98.43mm 182 to 272 kg 22.23 x 123.83mm or 25.4 x 98.43mm

(b) Each box shall be lined with waterproof paper and shall be bound with 19.05mm steel straps firmly stapled in position to prevent the straps from slipping off the box. Articles must be secured and braced inside the ship-ping container to prevent the articles from shifting.

(c) Packing cases weighing 453.5 kg and more must be equipped with skids. Each skid shall consist of two end sections of 50.8 x 152.4mm lumber placed flat and a center section of 50.8 x 101.6mm lumber placed flat and then arranged in line to prove 254mm forklift spaces between center and end sections. When goods are ready for shipment, the Contractor shall prepare four (4) copies of a packing list, indicating the contract and, if applicable, order numbers; case number; itemized list of contents; net and gross weights in kilograms; and out-side dimensions, including all clears, of each shipping container. The Contractor shall provide three (3) copies of the packing list to the U.S. Despatch Agent specified in the contract or order. The Contractor shall place the fourth copy of the packing list in packing case number one, which shall be marked as such so that it is easily identified by the consignee. Upon receipt of the packing list, the Despatch Agent will furnish export marks and instructions regarding shipment to the port specified, depending upon steamer services available at the time.

(d) The export marks shall be stenciled on one side of each box reserved for that purpose, and the appropriate case number stenciled in the lower left-hand corner of the same side. The contract and, as necessary, order numbers, net and gross weights in kilograms shall be stenciled on the same side. However, if the size of the box is too small to accommodate all stenciling on one side, the contract and order numbers and weights may be stenciled on the side opposite that used for the export marks and case number.

(e) The contract and, as necessary, order numbers must appear on all containers and papers relating to this clause.

52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose 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:

Technical Ability & Approach Organizational Experience & Past Performance 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 op-tion 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 of-fer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received be-fore award.

EVALUATION FACTORS

A. Technical Ability & Approach The Offeror's technical approach will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the Offeror has developed a strategy for the effect-ive and efficient management of contract activities to successfully fulfill the requirements of the Statement of Work. The ability of the proposed product to meet all of the salient specifications and requirements outlined in the Statement of Work. The Offeror's approach to ensuring the quality of the mosquito nets and the timely, secure delivery will also be evaluated.

B. Organizational Experience & Past Performance This factor will evaluate the relative success & relevancy of the Offeror's past performance in the management of projects similar to the requirement outlined in the Statement of Work during the last three (3) years. The Government will determine whether the Offer-or's experience provides evidence that the organization has current capabilities and experience to assure successful performance of this requirement. The evaluation will focus on the Offeror's technical understanding and capability as demonstrated by the size, scope, complexity, and results achieved in the completion of actual contracts similar to those expected under this contract. Technically simil-ar tasks will be rated more highly than less relevant tasks.

C. Price/Cost Technical Factors, when combined, are more important than price. As technical proposals are found to be similar in evaluation, price will become a stronger determining factor. Selection of the firm to perform this task order will be based on the Government’s assess-ment of the best overall value.

The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated to determine reasonableness.

BPA AWARD

Award of the BPA shall be made to the responsible Offeror whose offer, in conforming to this RFQ, provides an overall best value to the Government, technical evaluation factors and price considered. The Government's objective is to obtain the highest technical quality considered necessary to achieve the project objectives, with a realistic and reasonable price. Technical evaluation factors, when combined, are more important than price. In the event quotes are evaluated as technically equal in quality, price will become a major consideration in selecting the successful Offeror.
