CAUTION NOTICES

RapidGate

Many bases currently require enrollment in RapidGate and will not allow entry without RapidGate clearance. During the contract implementation period, the Contractor must contact all customer locations to determine whether enrollment in RapidGate or another security program is required for access to each location. If RapidGate or other security enrollment is required, the contractor must take all necessary steps to obtain this in time for the start of performance under this contract.

Failure to have RapidGate clearance may result in a vendor being turned away from the base and being unable to complete delivery. The contractor is responsible for the additional cost for RapidGate enrollment and must ensure that a RapidGate enrolled driver is available for all deliveries. We currently estimate that RapidGate enrollment will cost about $250 per company and $200 per enrolled employee for 1 year of access to multiple locations, but the cost of RapidGate or other security enrollment may vary, so the contractor should contact RapidGate to determine its own costs. If more than one driver is required, RapidGate enrollment must be obtained for each driver. Note that enrollment can take several weeks, so an awardee that is not already enrolled must begin enrollment at the time of award notification at the latest. If difficulty or delay in enrollment in RapidGate is encountered during the implementation period, the contractor MUST contact RapidGate and/or the Security Officer at the applicable customer locations to resolve any issues with processing RapidGate enrollment so that the contractor will be able to deliver as required. For additional information regarding RapidGate, including enrollment instructions, please visit their website at www.rapidgate.com.

Please note that RapidGate is currently a requirement for access to some military bases; however, these and other locations may require enrollment in other security programs at some time in the future. In this event, the contractor is responsible for obtaining all required enrollments and clearances for each of their drivers as soon as they receive notice of such a requirement.

CAUTION NOTICE - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS (FEB 2012)

FAR Part 3.1002(a) requires all government contractors to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity and honesty.

Contractors should have a written code of business ethics and conduct within thirty days of award. 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. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733).

If this solicitation or contract includes FAR clause 52.203-13 - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT; the contractor shall comply with the terms of the clause and have a written code of business ethics and conduct;

exercise due diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct; promote ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law within their organization; and timely report any violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 5 OF 78 PAGES

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

bribery or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or any violations of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C.

3729-3733). When FAR 52.203-13 is included in the contract, contractors must provide a copy of its written code of business ethics and conduct to the contracting officer upon request by the contracting officer.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 9 OF 78 PAGES

SPE3S1-21-R-0010

requirements of this solicitation.

DLA Troop Support intends to enter into one or more Indefinite Delivery/Quantity Contracts using Trade-Off Source Selection Procedures. The resulting contract(s) will utilize formula pricing, i.e. Cost of goods plus a Fixed Distribution Fee.

The contract(s) will be five (5) year contract(s), consisting of five 12-Month Tier Periods to supply Various Commercial Components of the Unitized Group Ration Heat & Serve and Unitized Group Ration M end-items/modules used by the military services.

NOTE: Deliveries might fall outside of effective period

See FAR clause 52.216-22, Indefinite Quantity (Oct 1995) for delivery periods and ordering.

The solicitation contains the following seven groups: Beverages, Fruits and Vegetables, Canned Meats, Starches, Condiments, Dehydrated Spices & Bases and Bakery Items.

The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards not based on groups to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer will be most advantageous to the government. See FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items.

2. Formula Item Pricing and Contractor Price Catalog

a. Pricing will be based on the following pricing formula:

Unit Price = Delivered Price + Distribution Price

b. Definitions:

Unit Price - The total price charged DLA Troop Support per unit for a product delivered to the Government, consisting of two components: “delivered price” and “distribution price”.

Delivered Price - The actual invoice prices for the food that the prime contractor has paid to a manufacturer or supplier for that product delivered to the distribution point (sometimes referred to as the “landed cost”).

Note: The Delivered Price portion of the Unit Price, for the first tier/year and that to be used in evaluating the next four tiers, shall be that Delivered Price effective the week of solicitation closing.

Distribution Price - The firm fixed price, offered as a dollar amount, which represents all the elements of the contract unit price other than the delivered price. This distribution price typically consists of the prime contractor's projected general and administrative, overhead, direct labor, any other projected expenses associated with the prime contractor's function, and anticipated profit. The Distribution Price is intended to reflect the difference between the Delivered Price and the Unit Price to deliver the specific product to the depots. The Distribution Price dollar amount shall remain fixed for the term of the contract.

The Delivered Price portion of the Unit Price, for the first year and that to be used in evaluating the next four years, shall be that Delivered Price effective the week of solicitation closing.

All items will have type pack 1.

3. All prices offered for the following items must be F.O.B. Destination. Prices must include freight to the following destination:

DLA Distribution San Joaquin 25600 S Chrisman Road Rec Warehouse 30-UGR Tracy, CA 95304-5000 United States

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 10 OF 78 PAGES

4. Offerors shall also include their prices for all five years. The Fixed Distribution Price remains the same for each tier period for all five years. Offer on each tier is mandatory.

5. Unit prices and extended prices must be formatted no more than two decimal places. Ex: $XX.XX

6. Below is the NSN and item description for the requirements of this solicitation. See Attachment for pricing spreadsheet of these component items. It is anticipated that items may be added or deleted after award as necessary.

7. Offerors are reminded that the quantities stated in the solicitation represent only the estimated yearly quantities. Price evaluation will be based on all items (or NSN) listed in the Attachment. Pricing will be evaluated for all five-year periods. The estimated quantities will be multiplied by the offered unit prices for all five tiers, to estimate the lowest overall aggregate cost for each item to the Government.

STATEMENT OF WORK

I. INTRODUCTION

A. A firm receiving an award under the formula pricing arrangement will be subject to price verification techniques such as market analysis and random price and invoice analysis. The fixed distribution prices for all five years, and initial unit prices, of the item will be determined to be fair and reasonable. During the life of the contract, price analysis will be performed to ensure that prices are fair and reasonable.

Contracting officer may request product samples prior to award. All offerors must provide product samples within 7 days after date of request. Failure to do so may result in an unsuccessful offer.

B. Product Brand/Label changes: The contractors may also propose, in writing to the Contracting Officer at any time, another brand/label of product for any contract item. If another brand/label is proposed, the government may request new product samples. If the Government considers the new proposed item an improvement, and a better value considering price, it will advise the contractor in writing of its acceptance of the replacement brand/label, and the new item will be the contract brand/ label evaluated for future delivery orders. An approved brand/label replacement shall not modify any existing delivery order (s),unless such delivery order is formally modified. Complete delivery instructions will be provided with each delivery order.

Minimum/Maximum Quantities: See clause 52.216-22 - Indefinite Quantity The minimum to be ordered under each contract shall be equal to 5% of the estimate total dollar value of the contract. The Government is only obligated to purchase the mailto:Jennifer.Dam@dla.mil

contract minimum dollar value, not a minimum quantity for any item or destination. The contract maximum will be 150% of the estimated total contract dollar value awarded.

C. The resulting contract will be a Five (5) year contract, consisting of five 365-day Tier Periods.

TIER 1: Date of award through 365 days TIER 2: Day 366 through day 731 days TIER 3: From 731st day thru 1095 days TIER 4: From 1096th day thru 1460 days TIER 5: From 1461 day thru 1826 days

NOTE: Deliveries might fall outside of effective period

An offer on all five tiers is mandatory. Offers that do not contain pricing for all tiers of each line item could result in a rejection of the proposal of that specific line item.

This solicitation is hereby issued using Trade-Off Source Selection Procedures. Offerors must meet all terms, conditions, and requirements of this solicitation. See FAR Provision 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items for evaluation criteria.

PRE-AWARD PLANT SURVEY: To determine the responsibility of prospective contractors, the government reserves the right to conduct physical surveys of the plants which are to be used in the performance of a contract. In the event the government is prevented from making such survey by the offeror or its proposed subcontractor, the offer may be rejected. As a part of the pre-award survey, the offeror may be required to obtain from its intended sources of supply, letters confirming availability of components, materials machinery and tooling.

II. CONTRACTING AUTHORITY

A. DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer is the ONLY person authorized to approve changes to, or modify any requirement of the contract. Notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in the contract, said authority remains solely with DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer.

B. In the event the vendor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the DLA Troop Support Contracting

Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustments will be made to cover any costs associated with such change.

III. NEGOTIATIONS

For the subject acquisition, the Government intends to award on initial offers but reserves the right to conduct negotiations if determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Initial responses to negotiations shall be in a form of communication customary in the industry for transmitting information to include phone, facsimile transmission, letter, in-person and e-mail.

However, any information provided during negotiations, to include all changes to the initial offer, must be reduced to writing and transmitted to the DLA Troop Support Business Opportunities Office by the time and date specified at the time of Final Proposal Revisions. Information not submitted to the DLA Troop Support Business Opportunities Office by the specified date and time will not be considered by the Government during final evaluations.

I. Solicitation Provisions:

Product samples are not required at time of submission of proposals, however the Government reserves the right to request product samples when needed to verify the product's technical acceptability pertaining to, but not limited to, packaging, shelf life and organoleptic quality. All offerors are required to provide, in the technical and pricing proposal, the brand/label of all items offered.

When Product Samples are required, they shall be submitted within 7 days of request at no expense to the Government. Product samples will become the property of the Government and will not be returned to the offeror.

Failure to submit Product samples when requested may result in rejection of an offer.

If the product is # 10 can, then 4 cans are required as product samples. If the product has a small unit of issue such as 1 oz. pg. Capuccino, Instant Vanilla, then one box of 25 is required as sample. The Product Samples shall be submitted to:

Department of the Army FCDD-SCC-EMR (Attn Jill Bates) Combat Capabilities Development Command - Soldier Center 10 General Greene Avenue Natick, MA 01760-5056 Lab # 508-206-3315 Jill.M.Bates@us.army.mil

Note: The end or side of the box should have a sticker, or be printed on the box, with the following information:

Product Sample Solicitation Number Product Identity Company Name and Address Point of Contact Name and Phone Number

Inside the case, along with the samples, should be the required paperwork, fully identifying the product, solicitation number, contract number (if applicable), or any other information to assist in identifying the product and conducting the evaluation.

Offerors may direct proposed subcontractors to submit Product Samples directly to Natick on their behalf. In those instances, the offeror will send written notification of subcontractor submissions to Natick and such Product Samples must be clearly labeled for which offeror they are being submitted.

This documentation must also be part of their proposal. Product Samples will not be evaluated until written notification from the offeror is received. This consideration does not relieve the offeror of the full responsibility for submitting all Product Samples in a timely manner. Late submissions of Product Samples may be the basis for rejection of the proposal.

Unless requested by the Contracting Officer, samples do not need to be sent to DLA Troop Support.

Please forward the product samples in the EXACT packaging that will be used if awarded the contract. All packages sent to Natick and DLA Troop Support have to be marked with product codes and/or Julian dates. If the product code is not in the clear, you have to provide product code deciphering information.

All samples being shipped to Natick for evaluation MUST be preceded by an email message notifying Natick and DLA Troop Support of the following:

Items being sent, The number of boxes, cases, or shipping containers being sent, mailto:Jill.M.Bates@us.army.mil

52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) - FAR

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Past Performance

1.1 Delivery

1.2 Quality history

Past Performance subfactors 1.1 and 1.2 are of equal importance.

Technical factors, when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price. As technical and past performance factors become more equal, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important.

2. Pricing: The Government will evaluate each offeror's unit prices. Pricing will be evaluated for the estimated quantity. The estimated quantities for this acquisition will be multiplied by the offered unit price for each tier. The total price on all tiers of each line item will be used to estimate the aggregate price per line item. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the Tier prices are significantly unbalanced. Offerors are reminded that the quantities stated in the Schedule of Supplies represent only the estimated quantities

3. Product Samples: When product samples are required, they will be evaluated for product acceptability.

All required submissions must be received from offerors before the time set for closing. Failure to furnish this information by the time specified may be cause for rejection if not otherwise acceptable under FAR provisions for considering late offers.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the…
