REQUIREMENTS FOR QUANTITY INCREMENTS OR RANGES

Offers are requested for increments or ranges of quantities as listed in the schedule of supplies or services.

Quantity increments consist of a primary amount and alternate amounts based on incremental increases. The quantity awarded will be either the full primary or one of the alternate quantities.

Quantity ranges consist of a specific series of ranges. The quantity awarded may fall anywhere within any range.

If this is an invitation for bids (IFB), a bid that only contains prices for quantities other than those quantities solicited in the schedule of supplies or services will be determined to be non-responsive.

If this is a request for quote (RFQ) or a request for proposal (RFP), an offer that only contains prices for quantities other that those quantities indicated in the schedule of supplies or services may be precluded from consideration for award if the Contracting Officer elects to make an award without discussion of proposals.

If this solicitation requests offers for quantity ranges, the following apply:

The unit price applicable to the entire award quantity shall be the unit price offered for the quantity range in which the award quantity falls;

If an offer specifies the same price for all quantity ranges of an item, the offer may include a statement in the schedule of supplies or services that the unit price applies to all quantity ranges of that item. If an offer specifies different prices for a quantity range of an item, the offer must show a unit price in each quantity range column in the schedule of supplies or services.

Award may be made on the basis of that quantity and price combination that is most advantageous to the Government without discussion of proposals.

Cost or pricing data, if required, shall be furnished at the request of the Contracting Officer and need not be submitted with your offer.

If this solicitation includes an option provision, option prices must be included for each increment.

Examination and testing of pallets shall be performed in accordance with specification requirements unless otherwise stipulated in the contract.

(b) When specified, the Contractor may also furnish a certificate of conformance for certain components/ ingredients or end item characteristics. The Contractor may still furnish a certificate covering any of the foregoing even though a subcontractor provided the materials. In such event, the Contractor is responsible for assuring that the materials met all contract requirements. For this reason, the Contractor should request a certificate of conformance from the subcontractor.

(c) The certificate of conformance should be worded substantially as follows:

(1) I certify that all (indicate type of material) called for by the contract conform to applicable contract requirements in every particular. (For meats only, the Contractor must also state that "no distressed, reconditioned meat has been used.")

(2) Such materials consist of the following: (Specify quantity, manufacturer and nomenclature for each item.)

Signature and Title of Certifying Official

Distribution: One copy to origin inspector, when applicable. One copy with shipment when origin USDA/ USDC inspection is not required. One copy with invoice for payment when Department of Defense (DD) form 250 is not used.

(d) It is the intent of the Government to be able to rely on the certificate of conformance. To assure that the certificate is reliable, the Government reserves the right to perform verification testing of each component for which specifications are established in the contract. Random samples shall be personally selected by the cognizant Government inspector. Random samples of packaging, labeling, packing and marking materials shall be submitted to the DLA analytical laboratory with a copy of the DD form 1222 furnished to DLA Troop Support HSQ. Food component materials shall be sent to the laboratory servicing the inspector's organization.

All costs incident to the sampling and submittal of materials shall be borne by the Contractor. The reliability of the Contractor's certificate of conformance will be determined on the basis of Government verification results.

(1) When it is determined by DLA Troop Support HSQ that the DLA analytical laboratory test samples meet the contract requirements, the certificate of conformance for these materials is considered reliable.

(2) When DLA Troop Support finds the materials do not meet the contract requirements based on recognized statistical methods, the certificate of conformance is considered unreliable. The Contractor shall be so advised and the particular deficiencies which render such certificate unreliable shall be identified. The unreliability status may be continued from contract to contract regardless of the particular contract on which the verification tests, or submission by Contractor of nonconforming material, has occurred. The Contractor is responsible for all costs incurred by the government in performing tests of future samples submitted for testing after such time as the Government has informed the Contractor of the unreliability status and until reliability is again established to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer. Testing and administrative costs shall be

PROCUREMENT NOTES:

L06, Agency Protests (DEC 2016)

Interested parties may file an agency level protest with the contracting officer or may request an independent review by the chief of the contracting office (CCO). Independent review by the CCO is an alternative to consideration by the contracting officer and is not available as an appellate review of a contracting officer decision on a protest previously filed with the contracting officer. Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest with the CCO for independent review, protests will be presumed to be protests to the contracting officer.

SECTION M

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD DLA TROOP SUPPORT

The Technical Evaluation, in the form of Product Demonstration Model, provides the acceptability of the AF Sweatshirts. This is done through the establishment of minimum requirements to be evaluated on an “acceptable' or “unacceptable” basis.

(1) Product Demonstration Models (PDMs) will be reviewed for:

a. Conformance to manufacturing operation requirements of the specification

b. Conformance to visual requirements of the specification

c. Conformance to dimensional requirements of the specification

The following technical acceptable/unacceptable Ratings will be assigned:

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 17 OF 89 PAGES

SPE1C1-21-Q-0241

Form (CONTINUED)

*NOTE: “Clearly meeting the minimum requirements of the solicitation” means the offer complies with all of the terms and conditions of the solicitation and the offer's PDM(s) meet the definition of PDM acceptability defined below.

**NOTE: “Not clearly meeting the minimum requirements of the solicitation” means the offer does not comply with all of the terms and conditions of the solicitation and/or the offer's PDM(s) DO NOT meet the definition of technical acceptability defined below.

PDM ACCEPTABILITY is defined as: PDM(s) meet the requirements of the acquisition documentation (i.e.

Specification; commercial item description, purchase description, etc.), and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The PDM(s) have at most a moderate number of weaknesses. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. The PDM(s) meet the stated requirements.

*NOTE: Weaknesses are defined as deviations from the requirements as specified in the specification, commercial item description, purchase description etc. PDMs will be rated based on the frequency and severity of weaknesses.

**NOTE: Price Evaluation---For each item the total price will be calculated by taking the offeror's proposed unit price and multiplying it by the corresponding evaluative quantity. This calculation will be done for each of the performance periods (base and option years). The total price for each item (inclusive of options) will be added together to arrive at the total proposal price. The total proposal price of each offeror will be compared against the other offerors. The Government will select the lowest price/technically acceptable offeror and determine if that firm is responsible, complies with terms and conditions of the solicitation and an award to that firm is in the best interest of the Government.

***NOTE: This evaluation does not necessarily determine the pricing to be fair and reasonable. Pricing for each item will need to be determined fair and reasonable. Additionally, pricing significantly unbalanced between any of the performance periods may result in a determination that the pricing cannot be determined fair and reasonable. Failure to determine the pricing fair and reasonable may result in the removal of the offeror from award consideration.
