NOTE: Prospective offerors 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 actually 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

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 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. Therefore, to minimize the risk of a ―late‖ offer, offerors submitting their offers via electronic commerce are strongly encouraged whenever possible to transmit their offers not later than 5:00 p.m. one day prior to the solicitation closing.

NOTE: All exceptions to the solicitation must be received with the Technical Data & Final Pricing Proposal. The Government reserves the right NOT to accept exceptions received after the Technical Data & Final Pricing Proposal due date.

―Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number‖ means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

―Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number‖ means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds

Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

―Registered in the CCR database‖ means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer

Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record ―Active‖. The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the CCR registration process.

(b) (1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2)The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation

―DUNS‖ or ―DUNS +4‖ followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror‘s name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—

(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does not have internet access, it may call

Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the

Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government‘s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(g) (1) (i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, ―doing business as‖ name, or division name

(whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day‘s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting

Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ―Suspension of Payment‖ paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2)The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of

Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor‘s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the ―Suspension of payment‖ paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

52.232-19 AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS FOR THE NEXT FISCAL YEAR (FAR APR 1984)

Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract beyond September 30, 2011. The Government‘s obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise for performance under this contract beyond September 30, 2011, until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer https://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/Subpart%2042_12.html#wp1084217 https://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/Subpart%2042_12.html#wp1084217 https://www.acquisition.gov/FAR/current/html/Subpart%2032_8.html#wp1029202 http://www.ccr.gov/

PART II

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS (PARAGRAPHS) THAT HAVE BEEN TAILORED TO BE MORE CONSISTENT WITH

COMMERCIAL PRACTICE UNDER FAR Part 52.212-1. ALL OTHER INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN FAR

52.212-1 ARE HEREBY INCORPROATED BY REFERENCE (SEE BLOCK 27A OF STANDARD FORM 1449) -

(ELECTRICITY) (RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES) (FAR JUN 2008)

(a) NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE AND SMALL BUSINESS

SIZE STANDARD. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish renewable energy certificates (RECs) which it did not itself generate, is 500 employees.

(e) PERIOD FOR ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

(g) CONTRACT AWARD. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussion with offers

(except clarifications as DLA Energy prescribed in Far 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror‘s initial offer should contain the offeror‘s initial offer should contain the offeror‘s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of offers that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the

Contracting Officer may limit the number of offers in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated offers. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) MULTIPLE AWARDS. Offerors are encouraged, but not required, to offer the entire requested quantity of RECs. All bidders should be aware that DLA Energy may make more than one award to multiple suppliers, in order to meet the total REC requirements of each of the individual line items. If an offeror chooses to submit more than one offer, it may do so by submitting a separate price submittal for each. Should an offeror state a minimum or maximum quantity limit, these qualifications should be stated in the offeror‘s original offer submittal. In the event such qualifications are received, and DLA Energy wants to award below the minimum quantity, DL Energy will then re-rank that offeror using such revised price. If DLA Energy cannot reach the contact person for that offer during the window in which prices are valid, then DLA Energy may pass over that offeror for the next higher priced item.

52.233-9000 AGENCY PROTESTS (DLAD SEP 1999)

Companies protesting this procurement may file a protest 1) with the contracting officer, 2) with the Government Accountability

Office, or 3) pursuant to Executive Order No. 12979, with the Agency for a decision by the Activity‘s Chief of the Contracting Office.

Protests filed with the agency should clearly state that they are an "Agency Level Protest under Executive Order No. 12979." (Note: DLA procedures for Agency Level Protests filed under Executive Order No. 12979 allow for a higher level decision on the initial protest than would occur with a protest to the contracting officer; this process is not an appellate review of a contracting officer's decision on a protest previously filed with the contracting officer). Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest, protests will be presumed to be protests to the contracting officer.

INT-L805 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (ELECTRICITY) (RENEWABLE ENERGY CERTIFICATES)

(a) OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL.

(1) Offeror‘s are encouraged to offer the entire quantity of Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) solicited per line item.

(F) The DLA Energy e-mail filter will scan the incoming e-mail and attachments for viruses and key words.

Abbreviations for terms such as ―Analysts‖ or using ―3Xs‖ as placeholders in a document are found in the filter‘s adult content library and may result in the e-mail delivery being delayed. Offerors are encouraged to verify receipt of e-mail offers by contacting the Contracting

Officer prior to the solicitation closing time.

(G) If any portion of an e-mail proposal received by the Contracting Officer is unreadable, the Contracting

Officer will immediately notify the offeror and permit the offeror to resubmit the proposal. The method and time for resubmission shall be prescribed by the Contracting Officer after consultation with the offeror and the resubmission shall be considered as if it were received at the date and time of the original unreadable submission for the purpose of determining timeliness, provided the offeror complied with the e-mail submissions instructions provided in this paragraph and with the time and format requirements for resubmission prescribed by the Contracting Officer.

(H) The Government reserves the right to make award solely on the e-mail proposal. However, if requested to do so by the Contracting Officer, the apparently successful offeror promptly shall submit the complete signed original proposal.

(3) PART II – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION. To substantiate meeting general and special responsibility criteria and the evaluation criteria stated in the RFP, the offeror shall submit the following:

(i) A description of how the offeror intends to supply (supply plan) the RECs required by this solicitation. The

Supply Plan (Attachment I) must include the power source (type of REC), location of source facility, a listing of the renewable electrical generation capacity and the date the capacity came into service, which will satisfy the requirements of meeting ―new‖ sources as outlined in

Part I, (2)(a);

NOTE: After contract award, no deviations to the approved Supply Plan (Attachment I) shall be permitted.

(ii) A plan that will describe the verification method to be utilized. The plan submitted is subject to DLA-

ENERGY‘s approval. If an Independent Auditor is used, upon contract award the Government reserves the right to request the name of the auditor to be used if one is not previously identified; and

(iii) A signed commitment letter, on company letterhead, from the Renewable Generator or the authorized representative for the RECs, that states the Renewable Generator /authorized representative, has committed to supply the RECs herein designated to the REC Provider. Failure to provide the commitment letter could preclude the offeror from further Government evaluation.

(4) PART III – PAST PERFORMANCE. Information collected in the Experience with Customers form (Attachment

II) will be used to contact offeror‘s customers and inquire about the offeror‘s past performance regarding the sales, deliverance and invoicing of RECs. Offerors are cautioned to submit accessible references. References that cannot be contacted and/or verified will not be considered. By submitting this form, the offeror agrees to permit the Government's representatives to contact the customers listed and inquire about the past performance of the offeror. The offeror will be given an opportunity to address unfavorable reports of past performance, and the offeror's response, or lack thereof, will be taken into consideration. The offeror‘s recent contracts will be examined to ensure that corrective measures have been put in place to prevent the recurrence of past performance problems. Prompt actions taken by the offeror to correct performance problems will be a reflection of management concern for customer satisfaction. However, such action may not mitigate all negative performance trends. Other past performance data available to the Government will be used in the evaluation of past performance.

(5) PART IV – COMMERCIAL SUBCONTRACTING PLAN. The Contractor shall submit a Commercial

Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR Part 19.704 (see Attachment VI).
