CAUTION NOTICES:

CAUTION NOTICE -PRICE SUSTAINABILITY

As part of the United States Defense Industrial Base, offerors are strongly encouraged to develop pricing that adequately accounts for market risk and volatility, includes sufficient margins to withstand future unforeseen contingencies, and allows for long term viability. Offerors are advised to refrain from submitting any offers or bids with the anticipation that in the event costs increase that there may be a price adjustment and/or cancellation of the contract. Offers are reminded that the awardee is expected to, and will be contractually bound to, perform at the final pricing submitted for the duration of the contract performance period(s) established in this solicitation. The successful performance of your contract is critical to the continued support of our nation's warfighters.

OFFER EVALUATION

This acquisition will utilize Best Value Source Selection procedures. This Solicitation requires the submission of a Technical Proposal consisting of a Product Demonstration Models (PDM) and Past Performance information as part of the offer. For award evaluation purposes Technical merit is significantly more important in the award evaluation process than price. The Technical proposal will be evaluated to determine compliance with all characteristics listed for evaluation in the solicitation (Additional Source Selection Evaluation Procedures).

Failure to furnish this information by the time specified in the solicitation may be cause for rejection of offers if not otherwise acceptable under the provisions for considering late offers.

Prices will be evaluated based on the Annual Order Limitation Quantity (AOLQ) listed in Schedule of Supplies Section of this solicitation.

Offerors are required to submit one PDM for each item listed under "INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION MODEL (PDM) (1)(a)" and past performance information from the period three (3) years prior to the solicitation closing date.

FAILURE TO SUBMIT A PDM WITH THE OFFEROR'S PROPOSAL AT THE TIME AND DATE OF THE INITIAL CLOSING

OF THE SOLICITATION WILL CAUSE THE OFFEROR'S ENTIRE PROPOSAL TO BE REJECTED.

The contract will contain a one (1) year Base Term and Four (4), One (1) Year Option Terms. Failure to offer on all Terms will result in rejection of the offeror's entire proposal.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 5 OF 59 PAGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM (CONTINUED)

PRODUCTION DEMONSTRATION MODEL - CAUTION NOTICE

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL OFFERORS READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS NOTICE:

This solicitation requires submission of Product Demonstration Models (PDM) at time of closing as specified in this document. This solicitation will permit only an initial submission of the PDM with the offeror's proposal at the time and date of initial closing of the solicitation; offerors will not be given the opportunity to present subsequent submissions to correct deficiencies noted in the Government's evaluation of initial PDMs. Therefore, it is imperative that offerors put forth their best effort in constructing this PDM. Any correction to the PDM will not be permitted and will not be accepted by the Government.

FAILURE TO SUBMIT A PDM WILL CAUSE THE OFFEROR'S ENTIRE PROPOSAL TO BE REJECTED.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIERS ON USE OF SUPPLIER PERFROMANCE RISK SYSTEM IN PAST

PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) application (https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers' past performance. Reference provision language elsewhere in this solicitation.

“THE GOVERNMENT WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONSIDER PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION THAT

OCCURS FOLLOWING THE CLOSING OF THE SOLICITATION AS WELL”.

CAUTION NOTICE - TWO PHASE TECHNICAL / PRICE EVALUATION

The Government anticipates that numerous offerors will submit proposals on 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 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.

LATE BIDS

It is the Offerors responsibility to ensure that offers reach the Government office designated in the solicitation on time.

It is also the responsibility of the Offeror to address and mark offers as specified in FAR 52.212-1(b) - INSTRUCTIONS TO

OFFERORS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUN 2020)

CAUTION: Facsimile offers are not authorized for this solicitation.

BERRY AMENDMENT COMPLIANCE

Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPM) 15, "Guidelines for Regulating Wood Packaging Materials in International Trade." DOD shipments inside and outside of the United States must meet ISPM 15 whenever WPM is used to ship DOD cargo, or when wood is being acquired by DLA for future use as packaging material. WPM is defined as wood pallets, skids, load boards, pallet collars, wooden boxes, reels, dunnage, crates, frame and cleats. Packaging materials exempt from the requirements are materials that have undergone a manufacturing process, such as corrugated fiberboard, plywood, particleboard, veneer, and oriented strand board (OSD). All WPM shall comply with one of the following official quality control programs:

Heat Treatment (HT) or Kiln Dried Heat Treatment (KD HT) in accordance with American Lumber Standard Committee, Incorporated (ALSC) Wood Packaging Material Program and WPM Enforcement Regulations (see http://www.alsc.org/; or

All WPM shall include certification/quality markings in accordance with the ALSC or NWPCA standards, as applicable. Markings shall be placed in an unobstructed area that will be readily visible to inspectors. Pallet markings shall be applied to the stringer or block on diagonally opposite sides of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible.

All containers shall be marked on a side other than the top or bottom, contrasting and clearly visible. All dunnage used in configuring and/or securing the load shall also comply with ISPM 15 and be marked with an ASLC approved DUNNAGE stamp. Failure to comply with the requirements of this restriction may result in refusal, destruction, or treatment of materials at the point of entry.

The Agency reserves the right to recoup from the Contractor any remediation costs incurred by the Government."

PALLET SHALL BE 4 WAY ENTRY, WINGED TYPE. PALLETIZED LOAD DIMENSIONS SHALL NOT EXCEED 43 INCHES IN

LENGTH, 52 INCHES IN WIDTH, AND 54 INCHES IN HEIGHT (INCLUDING THE PALLET).

THE PALLETIZED LOAD SHALL BE BONDED USING APPROVED COMMERCIAL BONDING MATERIALS. THE USE OF METAL BANDING, IN SECURING BOXES TO PALLETS, IS DISCOURAGED. PALLET LOADS SHALL CONTAIN THE SAME NUMBER

OF CARTONS, OF IDENTICAL QUANTITIES, OF ONE NSN, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT POSSIBLE.

PALLET LOADS CONTAINING MORE THAN ONE NSN SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED TO LIST ALL THE NSN'S CONTAINED IN THE LOAD. NO CARTON SHALL HAVE MORE THAN ONE NSN. AT THE END OF A SIZE RUN, NO MORE THAN ONE CARTON PER NSN MAY BE SHORT OR OVER THE SPECIFIED QUANTITY. SAID CARTON SHALL BE CLEARLY MARKED

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

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 18 OF 59 PAGES

SPE1C1-22-R-0083

SECTION D - PACKAGING AND MARKING (CONTINUED)

relating to the shipment, such as passive radio frequency identification (RFID) or item unique identification (IUID) information, order 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:
