In accordance with DFARS 208.602-70, as implemented by Section 872 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, the Department of Defense (DoD) publishes an annual list of product categories for which the Federal Prison Industries' (FPI) share of the DoD market is greater than five percent, (5%), which is considered a significant market share and must be competed.

(FPI), in the solicitation process and consider a timely offer from FPI.

There are two lots for this solicitation. The Government intends to award one contract per lot, making awards based upon an

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 8 OF 132 PAGES

SPE1C1-22-R-0030

Part 12 Clauses (CONTINUED) integrated assessment of technical factors and price resulting in the best value to the Government. However, the Government reserves the right to make awards of multiple lots to the same contractor if the government deems that it is in the Government's best interest. The Government intends to make more than one award under this solicitation for different quantities of the same supplies to two or more sources (FAR 16.504 (c)(1)(i). The intent is to have different contractors for each of the separate contracts that will be awarded from this solicitation.

This solicitation contains two separate and distinct lots that may result in up to two separate awards. For the purposes of efficiency, these lots are being combined in one solicitation rather than issuing separate solicitations for each lot. The minimum, estimated, and maximum quantities for each lot are contained in Section B of this solicitation.

The quantities for Lot 0001 represent 50% of the total quantity for the Drawers, Men's - White, Pair: PGC: 00293, NSN:

8420-00-009-2347(s); White, 3 Pack: PGC 02770, NSN: 8420-01-495-1988(s); Tan, Pair: PGC: 04101, NSN:

8420-01-643-5298(s); Tan, 7 Pack: PGC 00038; NSN: 8420-01-669-3645(s).

The quantities for Lot 0002 represent 50% of the total quantity the Drawers, Men's - White, Pair: PGC: 00293, NSN:

8420-00-009-2347(s); White, 3 Pack: PGC 02770, NSN: 8420-01-495-1988(s); Tan, Pair: PGC: 04101, NSN:

8420-01-643-5298(s); Tan, 7 Pack: PGC 00038; NSN: 8420-01-669-3645(s).

It is the intent of the Government to award a contract for each lot based on the evaluation criteria and plan outlined in the solicitation.

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.

Offerors are reminded that under the authority of FAR 6.202(a)(4), the Government may exclude an offeror from receiving more than one award under this solicitation.

BEST VALUE TRADEOFF ACQUISITION WITH ADJECTIVAL RATING PDMS

For this solicitation, PDM and Past Performance will be reviewed. Aspects of Past Performance are Recency, Relevancy and Quality. Included in the Quality sub-factor will be Quality and Delivery Performance. These sub-factors will be combined to arrive at an overall Performance Confidence Assessment. Technical merit and Past Performance are more important than price.

1. Best Value Source Selection Trade-Off Procedures Source Selection procedures will be utilized for this solicitation.

“Best Value” evaluation will be employed using the following evaluation factors: Product Demonstration Model (PDM), Past Performance and Price.

All PDMs will be evaluated using adjectival ratings in accordance with the criteria outlined in the solicitation. There will be no allowable re-submittals for PDM (Product Demonstration Model).

2. The Government will also review the second evaluation factor: Past Performance. The Government intends to award to the firm who is the best value to the Government with regards to passing PDMs, and acceptable Past Performance and Price. Passing PDMs and Past Performance when combined are more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated price becomes more important. From among the firms with Passing PDMs, the Government will then select the responsible firm that complies with terms and conditions of the solicitation, and an award to that firm is considered in the best interest of the Government. If the firm fits these criteria, award will be made to them. If not, the Government will review each subsequent technically acceptable offer until one is identified that does meet the criteria, in which case award will be made to that firm.

NOTE: A rating of Unacceptable for PDM will result in the offer being removed from award consideration and the proposal will not be reviewed any further.

A rating of Marginal for PDM may result in the offer being removed from award consideration and the proposal will not be reviewed any further.

NOTE: The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance up until award.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 9 OF 132 PAGES

3. This solicitation will contain a Two-Phase Technical/Price Evaluation.

The Government anticipates that numerous offerors will submit proposals on this solicitation. In the event that eight or more proposals are received, the Government may use a two-phase evaluation process, which allows the Contracting Officer to conduct a preliminary evaluation of all offers, in order to determine which offers are the least likely to be candidates for further consideration. During this preliminary evaluation, all offerors Product Demonstration Models (PDMs) and proposed prices will be evaluated. Certain offerors may be excluded from further consideration at this point, if their PDM ratings and/or offered prices are not competitive when compared with PDM ratings and prices proposed by other offerors. The remaining offers will then be evaluated for the remaining technical and past performance evaluation factors. After the completion of this review, the contracting officer will determine whether to establish a competitive range and enter into negotiations, or to award without discussions.

4. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations with a competitive range group of offerors from among firms with most highly rated offers. If negotiations are conducted, award will be made to the offeror (based on final proposal revision) that is the best value to the Government, has a passing PDM or better, and is determined responsible and compliant with the solicitation terms and conditions based on an “integral assessment of PDM, Past Performance and Price".

Section B Supplies/Services
