Failure to submit a complete proposal comprised of a Solicitation Package and PDM(s) will result in rejection of an offeror's entire proposal. Partial proposals (e.g., PDM only or Solicitation Package only) will not be evaluated and will not be eligible for award. Additionally, failure to submit a complete proposal before the Offer Due Date/Time (reference block 8 of SF 1449) will result in an offeror's proposal being rejected as untimely. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure that its complete proposal is received at the designated Government office before the closing date and time specified in this solicitation. Reference FAR 15.208(a), which states "Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any revisions, and modifications, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. Offerors may use any transmission method authorized by the solicitation.”

The only methods of proposal submission authorized under this solicitation are: (1) submission of an electronic proposal to the DLA Internet Bid Board System, or (2) submission of a hard copy proposal through traceable means via the U.S. Postal Service or a Commercial Carrier (e.g., FedEx, Airborne, UPS, DHL, Emery), to:

GAIN ACCESS TO MAKE A DELIVERY. NO EXCEPTIONS SHALL BE MADE.

DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS): An offeror must be registered in DIBBS, and able to log in, to submit an electronic proposal. Therefore, if not already registered, offerors are encouraged to register in DIBBS immediately. Offerors who are already registered in DIBBS are encouraged at this time to ensure they can log into their DIBBS account. An offeror's failure to register or be able to log in, or who experiences an inability to upload or submit a proposal on DIBBS for any reason other than a DIBBS system issue that has been confirmed by the DIBBS Help Desk, will not constitute an acceptable reason for a late submission.

NOTE: Proposal submissions using DIBBS are subject to electronic interface latency which can result in transmission delays.

Offerors must consider transmission delays in the DIBBS system when submitting proposals for consideration and assume the risk of late transmission/submission. Offerors are encouraged to submit electronic proposals in DIBBS as early as possible to account for possible transmission delays.

Product Demonstration Model (PDM) Submission: PDMs must be submitted through traceable means via the U.S. Postal Service or a Commercial Carrier (e.g., FedEx, Airborne, UPS, DHL, Emery) to:

DLA Troop Support Attention: Randall McArthur Bldg. 3-A-4422 700 Robbins Avenue Philadelphia, PA 19111-5092

The Directorate of Clothing and Textiles (C&T) requires electronic invoicing on all contracts unless another method is mutually agreed to by the Contractor, the Contracting Officer, the contract administration office, and the payment office.

UTILIZATION OF WIDE AREA WORKFLOW - RECEIPTS AND ACCEPTANCE (WAWF-RA) IN CONJUNCTION WITH DFARS 252.232-7003, Electronic Submission of Payment Requests and Receiving Reports.

The Directorate of Clothing and Textiles utilizes VIM-ASAP, which is short for DLA Virtual Item Manager ARN Supply- Chain Automated Processing, to transmit data to WAWF-RA. VIM-ASAP is the only authorized method to electronically process requests for payment to WAWF-RA for the Directorate of Clothing and Textiles.

http://www.dfas.mil/ecommerce/wawf/info.html... information regarding bill paying process and how to use Wide Area Workflow http://www.dfas.mil/ecommerce/myInvoice/gettingstarted.html myInvoice is an interactive web application developed specifically for contractors/vendors and government/military employees to obtain invoice status. It is available 24/7.

CHANGE TO VIM-ASAP

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 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.

Violation of this policy will result in the immediate revocation of the original owner's certificate.

How can I obtain an ECA certificate?

The following are the three entities authorized by the DoD to issue ECA certificates. Review and apply for an ECA certificate from one of the below organizations to access your vim account:

1) IdenTrust: http://www.identrust.com/certificates/eca/index.html

2) ORC (Operational Research Consultants): http://eca.orc.com/

3) Verisign: https://eca.verisign.com/

I have an ECA certificate, how do I access vim now?

Simply log into vim with your existing user ID and password as usual and then follow the steps:

1) Under menu, click the “certificate registration” option

2) Read the brief instruction and then click “continue”

3) Your certificate will display in a pop-up. Select the certificate and click “continue” http://www.dfas.mil/contractorsvendors.html http://www.dfas.mil/ecommerce/wawf/info.html http://www.dfas.mil/ecommerce/myInvoice/gettingstarted.html https://vim.dla.mil http://www.identrust.com/certificates/eca/index.html http://eca.orc.com/ https://eca.verisign.com/

4) You will be prompted to enter your current password for confirmation and click “ok”

5) The message displays “your certificate has been successfully registered…” click “ok” to complete the process. You will be logged out of vim and prompted to login with your certificate.

6) Click “accept” to the terms and then select “certificate login”.

7) Your certificate will display in a pop-up. Select the certificate and click “ok” and you will be logged into your VIM account.

Remember, your old login credentials will no longer be valid, and you will use your certificate to login into VIM.

To promote compliance with such code of business ethics and conduct, contractors should have an employee business ethics and compliance training program that facilitates timely discovery and disclosure of improper conduct in connection with government contracts and ensures corrective measures are promptly instituted and carried out. A contractor may be suspended and/or debarred for knowing failure by a principal to timely disclose to the government, in connection with the award, performance, or closeout of a government contract performed by the contractor or a subcontract awarded there under, credible evidence of a violation of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or a violation of the False Claims Act.

Government Acceptance Testing. Unless otherwise stated in the contract, testing performed at the DLA PTC for acceptance purposes will be completed in forty five (45) calendar days. The contract delivery requirements are based on the assumption that DLA Troop Support and the DLA PTC will require a total of 45 calendar days from the date of the receipt of samples at the Government laboratory to the date the completed test results are mailed to the contractor.

If this time frame is exceeded, the contract delivery schedule will be extended by the number of additional days needed to complete the testing, provided the contractor can establish that the delay in its delivery was caused by the Government exceeding the prescribed time. The foregoing provision for the extension of delivery schedules is exclusive and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract by reason of any delay of the Government in providing test results.
