SECTION A – STANDARD FORM (SF) 1449 ON PAGE 1

SECTION B – CONTINUATION BLOCK OF SF 1449

Questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing via email to dlaenergy.eteam@dla.mil no later than 15 September 2024. The Government may not provide answers prior to the date and time provided on SF 1449, block 8.

CONTINUATION OF SF 1449, BLOCK 8 OFFER DUE DATE

This date refers only to the non-price proposal requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP).

Offerors shall submit all Non-Price Proposal elements and all other required documents pursuant to this RFP. Offerors are encouraged to submit their proposals early as pricing is not required prior to the date/ time defined in SF 1449, Block 8.

Prices shall be submitted by utilizing Attachment VIII – Pricing Sheet PJM 2024. The Pricing Sheet shall be submitted via email to dlaenergy.eteam@dla.mil and must be received at a time to be determined later.

Prospective offeror’s are encouraged to review Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.208 regarding timely submission of offers. Specifically, please be aware that it is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that their offer is received at the designated Government office prior to the solicitation closing. Submission of offers by electronic commerce (e.g. e-mail or fax) is governed by FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i). If an offeror electronically submits its offer on the day the solicitation closes, then timeliness will be determined based on whether or not the offer was actually received prior to closing. In that situation, the offeror will bear the risk of any delay in the transmission of their offer (e.g. offeror clicked “send” prior to the closing of the solicitation, but the e-mail did not arrive until after the time for closing), and offers not actually received prior to closing will be late. However, pursuant to FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i), if an offeror utilizes a means of electronic commerce to send their offer and transmits it not later than 5:00 p.m. ONE DAY PRIOR to the time for closing (and can prove that they have done so), then the offeror will be protected from such unexpected transmission delays and its offer will be considered timely.

*E-mails being sent to DLA Energy by non-DoD entities during the weekdays from 0800 to 1700 may be delayed up to several hours. To minimize potential issues as a result of any e-mail delays, DLA Energy requests that any correspondence from Non-DoD Entities allow at least 24 hours to be received.

The Government reserves the right not to consider any exceptions to the stated solicitation requirements received after the Offer Due Date.

(iii) TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION LOSSES. The Contractor shall refund to (or charge) the PJM marginal loss credit. NOTE: For purposes of calculating energy charges, applicable transmission and distribution losses are a pass through. Contractor shall use the utility-defined line loss factor applicable to the respective rate class(s) for each individual account(s), as set forth in the state-approved distribution tariff of the applicable utility for each account. PJM Marginal Loss Credit should be charged as PJM Line Item #2220.

(iv) RELIABILITY MUST RUN (RMR) CHARGES. The Contractor shall treat RMR Charges as a direct pass through with no mark up.

(ii) RENEWABLE PORTFOLIO STANDARD (RPS). Contractor costs to comply with the state renewable portfolio standards (RPSs) associated with each of the accounts shall be passed through to the Government. The Government reserves the right to direct the Contractor to purchase Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) with those costs to be assigned to the applicable accounts and the RECs purchased by the Contractor to be used to satisfy the state RPS requirements associated with the applicable accounts. The costs associated with state RPS compliance are to be expressed as a per-kWh charge, applicable to the account and distributed over the calendar year, or the PJM planning year (June through May), as applicable based on state RPS regulations, in proportion to energy usage by the account.

Pursuant to FAR 52.212-5(d), the Government has the right to audit the price quotes or other information submitted by the Contractor’s REC suppliers in order to verify price reasonableness and best value.

(d) INDICES. In the event that the PJM LMP or any other index upon which any energy price for this contract is determined ceases to publish or is substantially altered in derivation or application (including, but not limited to, the elimination of price caps), the parties shall agree upon a substitute index. If the parties fail to agree on an appropriate substitute index, the matter shall be resolved in accordance with paragraph (d), Disputes, of the CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS clause of the contract.
