PREFERENCE FOR CERTAIN DOMEST COMMODITIES and DOMESTIC OF NON-AVAILABILITY DETERMINATION Normally DLA Troop Support Solicitations include the Defense appropriations and authorization acts and other statutes (including what is commonly referred to as “The Berry Amendment”) which impose restrictions on the DoD's acquisition of foreign products and services. Generally, Clothing and Textile items (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7012), including the materials and components thereof (other than sensors, electronics, or other items added to, and not normally associated with clothing), must be grown, reprocessed, reused, melted or produced in the United States, its possessions or Puerto Rico, unless one of the DFARS 225.7002-2 exceptions applies.

NOTICE: For this solicitation only, a Domestic Non-Availability Determination has been approved.

The Buy American Act (DFARS 252.225-7001) will apply to Lot 2 only. The subject item is considered a COTS item.

Government Requirement:

Minimum Quantity: 20,000,000 each Estimated Quantity: 68,000,000 each Maximum Quantity: 140,000,000 each

The Government intends to make multiple awards to fulfill the above requirement within 90 days including a minimum quantity of 20,000,000 mask and a maximum quantity of 140,000,000 mask. The following award scenarios apply:

The Government intends to award Lot 1 in its entirety to Domestic Sources in compliance with the *Berry Amendment. In the scenario that the Government is unable to achieve the full requirement under Lot 1 award(s);

the balance of Lot 1 may then be awarded under Lot 2. For instance if the total quantity award(s) under Lot 1 consist of a maximum quantity of 100,000,000 mask; the balance of 40,000,000 mask may be awarded under Lot 2.

The award(s) will be made in accordance with the evaluation listed within subject solicitation.

3. Inspection and Acceptance: DESTINATION

4. This acquisition is utilizing BEST VALUE TRADEOFF Source Selection Procedures, FAR 15.101-1. As such, the Government intends to make an award to the firm that demonstrates the greatest probability of success and that will perform in a manner which will best meet the Governments stated requirements. See Section L&M for technical evaluation factors and criteria.

Based on the offeror(s) who are determined the best value, who is determined to be responsible in accordance with FAR

9.103 and 9.104, the Government will award to the best value, and will continue to make awards to the next best value offeror until the Government is able to reach their requrements for the Minimum Quantity (20 million each), Estimated Quantity (68 million each), and Maximum Quantity (140 million each).

DLA Troop Support will determine the Minimum Quantity, Estimated Quantity, and Maximum Quantity for each offeror based on each offerors' quantity to be delivered on or before 90 days after award. For example, if an offeror is able to deliver 20 million each (or 29.4% of the estimated quantity) on or before 90 days their Quantities will be as follows:

Minimum Quantity: 5.88 million each Estimated Quantity: 20 million each Maximum Quantity: 41.16 million each

*Monthly Maximum: 6.7 million each

Delivery orders may require concurrent deliveries; however, the Government will not require more than the determined monthly maximum. *The Monthly Maximum, per clause 52.216-19, will be determined by the offeror's stated total delivery quantity within the first 90 days divided by 3, OR based on the offeror's monthly maximum capability provided below, whichever is the highest quantity.

Offeror shall enter the country of manufacture and the maximum number of Surgical Masks they are able to deliver in 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days, and 150 days after the date of award:

2. Offerors are cautioned to submit a realistic quantity that they are able to deliver in 30 days, 60 days, 90 days, 120 days, 150 days, and 180 days. If an offeror is unable to meet their delivery schedule the Government reserves the right to terminate the contract.

NOTES:

1. Offerors are cautioned that restrictive quantity may result in exclusion from award due to the Government's need to obtain full coverage as set forth in the above delivery schedule.

The Government intends to make more than one award to the best value offerors, based on each offerors' quantity to be delivered on or before 90 days after award (and associated minimum and maximum quantities) until the Governement's Estimated Quantity of 68 million each in 90 days is met.

Evaluation will be made based on the offerors' ability to meet the Government's requirements listed within Sections L &M of subject solicitation.

CAUTION:

The Government may make multiple awards based on an integrated assessment of technical acceptability and price in the best value to the Government. To ensure that multiple sources are available and to ensure the continuous availability of reliable sources of supply, the offeror who is selected as the best value for one award may be excluded from competition on the remaining quantity based on the authority in FAR 6.202(a)(4). Due to the varying production capabilities of each awardee, delivery orders will be issued under each separate contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and without notice to, or consideration of, any other contractor, or consideration of the terms and conditions of any other contract. The fair opportunity provisions of FAR 16.505(b) will not be applicable to orders under the resulting contracts.

CAUTION NOTICE - CHANGE TO VIM

Please note: Vendors under contract with DLA Troop Support Clothing & Textiles are able to use a web-based application called VIM, or Virtual Item Manager (https://vim.dla.mil). VIM allows manufacturers to generate and transmit contract documents such as Delivery Orders (DD1155s) and Material Inspection and Receiving Reports (DD250s). Previously, vendors registered using a user ID and password; however, soon all vendors must use an ECA certificate to access VIM. Please see below for more information.

Why is VIM requiring access via ECA certificate?

DoDI 8520.2 Mandates the use of DoD PKI identity certificates when accessing DoD information systems. The DoD established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DoD- approved certificates

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 13 OF 85 PAGES

SPE1C1-20-R-0102

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES OR COSTS (CONTINUED)

to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. ECA certificates enable contractors to securely communicate with the DoD and authenticate themselves to DoD Information Systems.

What are ECA Certificates?

ECA Certificates are individually issued digital identity credentials. The DoD relies upon these credentials to ensure the identity of the user in online environments or when a certificate holder tries accessing DoD Information Systems. ECA Certificates are stored either on hardware devices (smart cards or USB devices) or software versions (stored on your computer's hard drive). You will use your certificate to:

1) Establish your identity when trying to access a protected site

2) Legally "sign" a document, form or application

3) Encrypt messages (email) or documents to ensure confidentiality Much like a driver's license or a passport, they are unique to each individual, and cannot be shared. It is against DoD Regulations to share a username and password or allow someone to access another's ECA certificate for any reason.

TRANSPORTATION OF MATERIAL

Under this solicitation, material are transported to and from the Depots and the Contractor's Plant. It is the Contractor's responsibility to find a Carrier that is responsible and understanding of the specific procedures associated with transporting material. The inside of the carrier must be clean and free of residues. The material must be loaded in the carrier according to packaging specifications. The Contractor is solely responsible for any damage to the material during the Contractor's transport of the material.

PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION (SPRS)

SPRS is the Department of Defense's single, authorized application to retrieve suppliers's performance information. SPRS is web-enabled enterprise application that gathers, processes, and displays data about the performance of suppliers. The Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) Subpart 213.1 requires contracting officers to consider this data for supply contracts valued at less than or equal to $1 million.

SPRS compiles supplier's past performance data in areas of product delivery and quality to determine risks and creates a Supplier Risk Score used by procurement specialists. The quality and delivery classifications identified for a supplier in SPRS will be used by the contracting officer to evaluate a supplier's past performance in conjunction with the supplier's references (if requested) and other provisions of the solicitation under the past performance evaluation factor.

It is imperative that vendors validate their performance data in SPRS. Vendors must register at the PPIRS website https:// www.ppirs.gov for access to view their past performance scores and negative delivery and quality records affecting the scores. The PPIRS-SR User's Manual provides information concerning vendor scoring, negative & positive performance data utilized to calculate vendor scores, and the process in which to challenge discrepant performance data.

252.211-7006 PASSIVE RADIO FREQUENCY IDENTIFICATION (DEC 2019) DFARS

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause --

“Advance shipment notice” means an electronic notification used to list the contents of a shipment of goods as well as additional information relating to the shipment, such as passive radio frequency identification (RFID) or item unique identification (IUID) information, order

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 19 OF 85 PAGES

SPE1C1-20-R-0102

SECTION D - PACKAGING AND MARKING (CONTINUED)

information, product description, physical characteristics, type of packaging, marking, carrier information, and configuration of goods within the transportation equipment.

“Bulk commodities” means the following commodities, when shipped in rail tank cars, tanker trucks, trailers, other bulk wheeled conveyances, or pipelines:

(1) Sand.

(2) Gravel.

(3) Bulk liquids (water, chemicals, or petroleum products).

(4) Ready-mix concrete or similar construction materials.

(5) Coal or combustibles such as firewood.

(6) Agricultural products such as seeds, grains, or animal feed.

“Case” means either a MIL-STD-129 defined exterior container within a palletized unit load or a MIL-STD-129 defined individual shipping container.

“Electronic Product Code™ (EPC)” means an identification scheme for universally identifying physical objects via RFID tags and other means.

The standardized EPC data consists of an EPC (or EPC identifier) that uniquely identifies an individual object, as well as an optional filter value when judged to be necessary to enable effective and efficient reading of the EPC tags. In addition to this standardized data, certain classes of EPC tags will allow user-defined data. The EPC Tag Data Standards will define the length and position of this data, without defining its content.

“EPCglobal®” means a subscriber-driven organization comprised of industry leaders and organizations focused on creating global standards for the adoption of passive RFID technology.

“Exterior container” means a MIL-STD-129 defined container, bundle, or assembly that is sufficient by reason of material, design, and construction to protect unit packs and intermediate containers and their contents during shipment and storage. It can be a unit pack or a container with a combination of unit packs or intermediate containers. An exterior container may or may not be used as a shipping container.

“Palletized unit load” means a MIL-STD-129 defined quantity of items, packed or unpacked, arranged on a pallet in a specified manner and secured, strapped, or fastened on the pallet so that the whole palletized load is handled as a single unit. A palletized or skidded load is not considered to be a shipping container. A loaded 463L System pallet is not considered to be a palletized unit load. Refer to the Defense Transportation Regulation, DoD 4500.9-R, Part II, Chapter 203, for marking of 463L System pallets.

“Passive RFID tag” means a tag that reflects energy from the reader/interrogator or that receives and temporarily stores a small amount of energy from the reader/interrogator signal in order to generate the tag response. The only acceptable tags are EPC Class 1 passive RFID tags that meet the EPCglobal™ Class 1 Generation 2 standard.

“Radio frequency identification (RFID)” means an automatic identification and data capture technology comprising one or more reader/ interrogators and one or more radio frequency transponders in which data transfer is achieved by means of suitably modulated inductive or radiating electromagnetic carriers.

“Shipping container” means a MIL-STD-129 defined exterior container that meets carrier regulations and is of sufficient strength, by reason of material, design, and construction, to be shipped safely without further packing (e.g., wooden boxes or crates, fiber and metal drums, and corrugated and solid fiberboard boxes).

(b)(1) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause, the Contractor shall affix passive RFID tags, at the case- and palletized-unit-load packaging levels, for shipments of items that --

(i) Are in any of the following classes of supply, as defined in DoD Manual 4140.01, Volume 6, DoD Supply Chain Materiel Management Procedures: Materiel Returns, Retention, and Disposition:

(A) Subclass of Class I - Packaged operational rations.

(B) Class II - Clothing, individual equipment, tentage, organizational tool kits, hand tools, and administrative and housekeeping supplies and equipment.

(C) Class IIIP - Packaged petroleum, lubricants, oils, preservatives, chemicals, and additives.

(D) Class IV - Construction and barrier materials.

(E) Class VI - Personal demand items (non-military sales items).

(F) Subclass of Class VIII - Medical materials (excluding pharmaceuticals, biologicals, and reagents - suppliers should limit the mixing of excluded and non-excluded materials).

(G) Class IX - Repair parts and components including kits, assemblies and subassemblies, reparable and consumable items required for maintenance support of all equipment, excluding medical-peculiar repair parts; and

(ii) Are being shipped to one of the locations listed at https://www.acq.osd.mil/log/sci/RFID_ship-to-locations.html or to --

(A) A location outside the contiguous United States when the shipment has been assigned Transportation Priority 1, or to --
