CAUTION NOTICE

The Berry Amendment is applicable for this solicitation.

Offerors are cautioned that all components must be of domestic origin in compliance with clause 252.225-7012, Preference for Certain Domestic Commodities (APR 2022), as contained in this solicitation.

Section 833 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2006 added language to 10 U.S.C. 2533a, requiring that all articles or items of "clothing,” including the materials and components thereof, purchased by the Department of Defense be grown, reprocessed, reused, or produced in the United States, other than sensor, electronics or other items added to, and not normally associated with, clothing (and the materials and components thereof).

Very Important: The vendor must certify their agreement to these terms by signing the certification located in Section K of this solicitation.

Very Important: Solicitation SPE1C1-25-R-0033 will be issued as a 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

The Trousers, Broadfall are classified under Federal Supply Classification (FSC) Code 8405. 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. FSC 8405 is currently identified on this list and FPI is considered to have a significant market share. In accordance with 8.602(a)(4), agencies shall include Federal Prison Industries, Inc. (FPI), in the solicitation process and consider a timely offer from FPI.

The Government intends to make an award for the purchase of the item Trousers, Broadfall PGC: 03911, NSN:

8405-01-611-2009(s), under this 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.

NON-GFM MATERIAL

The Government has changed its procedures regarding Government Furnished Material (GFM). GFM will no longer be provided to Contractors that are awarded contracts for end item dress clothing contracts. The Government will still make available to the Contractor, for use in connection with and under the terms of this contract, the material set forth below, and the Contractor shall use such materials in the furnishing of supplies hereunder. All other types of materials required in the performance of this contract shall be furnished by the Contractor.

Type of Material: Cloth, Navy Serge Shade #3346 (NSN: 8305-00-350-5655) Location: Peckham - SD0119 Lansing, MI

It is now the responsibility of the Contractor to purchase the material listed above from DLA Troop Support as needed. The Government shall be the sole source of the supply of the materials listed above and only such material obtained from the Government under this contract may be used in the performance of this contract.

Pricing - The material will be priced at the current DLA Troop Support contract price for the material being purchased. The material price will be listed in the solicitation and the Contractor is required to submit pricing inclusive of the material price:

Cut, Make, and Trim (CMT) + Material price. The Contractor can purchase any amount of cloth desired that does not exceed 2% of the total yardage required to produce the item based on the Government BOM. In order not to affect planning and the purchase of cloth by the Government, unlimited quantities of cloth cannot be sold to the Contractor. In the event that the Contractor would like material in excessive quantities, defined as purchasing more than 2% of the total unit allowance determined by the Government BOM for that delivery order, the Contractor may submit a request for the excess material.

Depending on fabric inventory levels, the Contracting Officer may, at his or her discretion, approve the request for some or

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 6 OF 74 PAGES

SPE1C1-25-R-0033

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

all of the excessive quantities.

Payment - Upon the delivery of end items, the Contractor will be paid the agreed upon unit price for the contract. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to pay the balance owed to the Government for the material as end items are shipped and payments are received. The Contractor will receive a bill from DFAS for the amount of the cloth purchased that will outline the procedures for payment. A copy of the bill must be submitted with every payment. The Contractor will only receive one bill and must make copies of it if incremental payments will be made. This ensures there is a copy of the bill linking every incremental payment made. The balance due for the purchase of the cloth must be paid within 180 days after the date of the bill for the purchase of the material. In the case that delivery schedules have been extended, the Government may extend the payment terms beyond 180 days. The Contractor will have a continuing balance owed to the Government for the material until end items are shipped and payments are received by the Contractor and made to the Government. In the case that a Contractor makes a late payment or no payment at all, a standard rate of interest will be charged to the Contractor's account which is determined by DFAS. Failure to make payment may also impact the placement of future delivery orders on this contract and will be considered as a part of any future assessment of past performance. Final payment on this contract will be withheld until all material is paid for. Note that once the sale is made for the cloth, the Contractor assumes all responsibility for the cloth including care and safety.

Contractor Request for Material - The Contractor shall submit a properly executed DLA Troop Support Form, Prime Contractor's Request for the Purchase of Material, to the Contract Specialist. The procedure for requesting material has not changed. It is the responsibility of the Contractor to request the material in sufficient time to comply with the delivery schedule of the contract. The Government reserves the right to ship partial orders of material depending on the current available stock. The Contractor is not required to purchase the entire amount of material at one time that is required to complete the delivery order. The Contractor may purchase the entire amount of material required to complete the delivery at one time and schedule partial shipments for later dates. If the cloth required to complete a delivery order is purchased all at once, payment is due 180 days after the date of the sale. If smaller increments are purchased, payment is due 180 days from each incremental sale. The Government will not purchase extra fabric leftover after the end of a contract.

Procedures -

1. All concerns regarding material should be directed to the Contracting Officer by letter or email within 30 days of the purchase of the cloth. The Contracting Officer will respond within three business days of receipt. The Contractor must notify the QAR and Contracting Officer within the timeframes listed above when there is an issue regarding quality of the material.

Ultimately, it is the Contracting Officer's decision to determine a solution.

2. The Government reserves the right to furnish cloth on rolls or folded. Unless sponged, rolls should contain approximately 100 yards of fabric at approximately 60” width. The Government may furnish material in widths other than those specified.

Rolls of cloth may have as small as 23 yards of fabric and some may contain 96 yards with the majority of rolls containing 75 yards of fabric. Regardless of widths furnished, the material shall not be deemed deficient or defective when the width furnished differs from the specified width by less than plus or minus 2 inches. If more than plus or minus 2 inches, the Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment. The Peckham warehouse does not have the manpower to cherry pick the largest sized rolls.

3. Palletization: Rolls of fabric are hardly palletized by the Peckham warehouse personnel. Rolls of fabric can be requested to be palletized but it is not guaranteed that the request will be honored. Palletization of rolls is doable if the number of yards requested is 4,000-5,000, which equates to 4 pallets. A pallet of rolls of cloth consists of a base of 5 rolls needing to be secured to the pallet, followed by 4, 3, 2, and 1 rolls stacked on top of each other with each layer requiring to be secured to the pallet. Palletized rolls of cloth are unstackable.

4. Material furnished shall be charged to the Contractor's account in multiples of one yard. Where material furnished contains fractions of a yard, the yardage shall be rounded to the whole yard. Fractions of less than one-half yard will be rounded to the next lower full yard; fractions of one-half yard or more will be rounded to the next higher full yard.

5. The Government reserves the right to provide not more than 10% of the material in short pieces. The Contractor shall cut and use short pieces furnished and/or generated and not retain them for return to the Government.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 7 OF 74 PAGES

6. For the determination of defective material for excessive visual defects, the Contractor's examination of the material shall be in strict accordance with the quality assurance provisions for the fabric, including random sampling procedures and, as applicable, federal standard (FED-STD) 4 or military standard (MIL-STD) 655 and the applicable Sears slub (i.e. knot in yarn) and knot gauges.

The Contractor shall inspect fabric as it is opened and shall set aside higher point count (metric for assessing fabric defects) rolls for return as either "excess" or "defective" goods. Over-point count fabric set aside prior to cutting by the Contractor shall be returned to the shipment in question prior to random sampling. Upon completion of the examination, the Contractor shall immediately provide the Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) with a written notification of the alleged deficiencies, including the findings of its own examination of the material using a cloth perch (machine which allows unrolling/rerolling of fabric to search for defects). As a minimum, the Contractor shall provide the following data:

(A) Type of material

(B) Nature of nonconformance (including examination report of alleged defective point count)

(C) Number of rolls or pieces in shipment

(D) Name of manufacturer of material

(E) Contract number(s) of material

(F) Lot identification of material

(G) Total number of yards in shipment

(H) Acceptable quality limits (or acceptable quality level (AQL), if applicable)

(I) Number of rolls or yardage in sample

(J) Acceptance number

(K) Recommended disposition

The Contractor shall provide the QAR access to a cloth perch, which the QAR will use to examine the material in question.

The QAR shall verify the damage, defect, shortage, narrow width, or discrepancy as documented in the Contractor's notification, and will report the findings of the verification to the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor fails to notify either the Government QAR or the Contracting Officer within 5 days of discovery of any damage, defect, shortage, narrow width or discrepancy in the Government material, no equitable adjustment will be made in the delivery or performance dates or the contract price.

The Contractor shall not cut or use such material, or in the event the damage, defect, shortage, narrow width or discrepancy is such that it could not reasonably have been discovered until after cutting or further processing, the Contractor shall not further process such material pending instructions from the Contracting Officer.

If replacement is to be made, the Government shall provide replacement at its own expense, including transportation costs.

When the return of the material is authorized, the Contractor will ship it and include a copy of the Contractor's notification of deficiencies (including examination report) and the QAR's deficiency verification.

7. In cases of Government delay, failure to furnish the requested material, the Government has furnished damaged, defective, short, narrow width, or other discrepancies in the material, the Contracting Officer, upon written request of the Contractor, shall equitably adjust the delivery or performance date and any other contractual provisions effected thereby, in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.243-1, Changes--Fixed-Price. If the Contractor does not request such an adjustment within 30 days of the purchase of the cloth, no adjustment will be made. Under no circumstances shall the Government include as an element of any adjustment under this clause any amount for loss of prospective profits.

8. The length marked on the piece tickets of cloth made available as material reflects the measurement metered during preparation for delivery of the cloth, using mechanical measuring devices. An inherent disparity exists between these measurements and cutting table measurements, because the latter are subject to many variables that cannot be controlled.

Accordingly, claims for shortages based on cutting table measurements will be considered for allowance only when the shortage on an individual piece exceeds 3.5% of the length marked on the piece ticket. All other claims for shortages shall be based on measurements using a mechanical measuring device (calibrated in accordance with the current edition of military standard (MIL-STD) 45662, Calibration System requirements) activated positively by direct contact, with the fabric in continuous motion. These measurements can be determined by using such devices as true meter, length counter on cloth perch, or similar devices.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 8 OF 74 PAGES

Shipping Arrangements -

1. The Contractor shall be solely responsible for making transportation arrangements for the pickup and delivery of this material, using its own truck, or a leased or rental carrier. These arrangements shall be specified by the Contractor on the DLA Troop Support Form, Prime Contractor's Request for the Purchase of Material. The Government material will be available for pickup not later than 21 calendar days after receipt of the original DLA Troop Support Form, Prime Contractor's Request for the Purchase of Material.

2. Prior to pick-up, the Contractor shall contact the storage location to coordinate the exact date for pickup and provide the name of the motor carrier to be used. If such pickup is not made within 10 calendar days after the availability date, or the actual date the material becomes available, whichever date is later, the Government reserves the right to return the material to storage, unless a revised date for its pickup has been requested by the Contractor. If the material has to be returned to storage, the Government will not be liable for any additional expense, delay, or loss incurred by the Contractor as a result of missing a scheduled shipment.

3. Shipping of the material from the Government to the Contractor shall be F.O.B. Origin with all material picked up at the location specified and made available at the shipping platform. Loading into the vehicle will be the responsibility of the Contractor or its representative. Delivery of the material shall be deemed to be accomplished when the material has been picked up and loaded into the vehicle by the Contractor, or its authorized representative. Title to and risk of loss of or damage to the material shall pass to the Contractor upon delivery.

Government BOMs by size are attached to this solicitation. Special measurements will vary. The Government reserves the right to change the BOM at any time.

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 74 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 conduct 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

Solicitation SPE1C1-25-R-0033 will be issued as a Best Value, Trade Off and Source Selection Procedures will be utilized.
