ATTACHMENT C

52.215-9023 Reverse Auction As prescribed in 15.408-90(c)(1), use the following provision. (NOV 2012)

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on the basis of initial offers or following discussions not using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify offerors of this decision and the following provisions will apply.

(a) The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the solicitation. The reverse on-line auction will be used as a pricing technique during discussions to establish the final offered prices from each offeror. These prices will be used in conjunction with the evaluation factors stated elsewhere in the solicitation in order to make the award decision in accordance with the basis for award stated in the solicitation.

(b) Following the decision to conduct discussions using on-line reverse auctioning as a pricing technique, the

Contracting Officer or his/her representative will provide offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the on-line auction process. The Government intends to use a commercial web-based product to conduct the reverse auction.

(c) Prior to or simultaneously with conducting the on-line reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may hold discussions with the offerors concerning matters appropriate for discussion, such as issues involving technical proposals or unbalanced pricing.

(d) The lowest offeror’s price(s) for each round of the reverse auction will be disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having authorized access to the on-line auction. This disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror’s identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government; only a generic identifier will be used for each offeror’s proposed pricing, such as “Offeror A” or “lowest-priced offeror”). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, including to other offerors, during the reverse auction.

(e) The reverse auction system currently in use designates offers as "Lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "Not Lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the first offer of that price as "Lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "Not Lead." Offerors shall not submit a tie offer, since this is inconsistent with the purpose of the reverse auction. If a tie offer is submitted, the "Not Lead" offeror that submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; it will be ineligible for award if the final price in the auction is the tie offer price.

(f) An offeror's final auction price at the close of the reverse auction will be considered its final proposal revision.

No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the Contracting Officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction.

(g) The following information is provided regarding the procedures to be followed if a reverse auction is conducted.

(1) Each offeror identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by Defense Logistic Agency’s commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the offeror of the event and to provide an explanation of the process.

(2) In order for an Offeror to participate in the reverse auction, such offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire solicitation, including this provision, and agree to the commercial reverse auction service provider’s terms and conditions for using its service. Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service provider’s terms and conditions is embedded within the email notification sent by the on-line reverse auction pricing tool system administrator.

Attachment C Page 2 of 24

(3) Offerors shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction service provider or the Government and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction.

Offerors shall keep their own and other offerors’ pricing in confidence until after contract award.

(4) Any offeror unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider’s system during a reverse auction must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the offeror’s inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the offeror and outside the offeror’s control.

(5) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website as embedded in the email notification. Offerors shall be responsible for providing their own computer and internet connection.

(6) Training:

(i) The commercial reverse auction service provider and/or a Government representative will provide familiarization training to offerors’ employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website, and/or other means.

(ii) An employee of an offeror who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a 'trained offeror.'

Only trained offerors may participate in a reverse auction. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that offerors provide an alternate offeror employee to become a 'trained offeror.' The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to take away the 'trained offeror' designation from any trained offeror who fails to abide by the solicitation’s or commercial reverse auction service provider’s terms and conditions.

The thermal stability test shall be performed with the temperature of the test being 260 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit), in accordance with the requirements of MIL-DTL-83133H with AMENDMENT 1, and will be the basis for the acceptance or rejection of fuel. However, an additional test shall be performed with the temperature of the test being 275 degrees Celsius (530 degrees Fahrenheit) and this result shall be REPORT ONLY.

(B) OPTION B. The thermal stability test shall be performed with the temperature of the test being 275 degrees Celsius (530 degrees Fahrenheit). If the fuel fails the test at 275 degrees Celsius, a second test shall be performed at 260 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit). When both tests are performed, the results of the test at 260 degrees Celsius (500 degrees Fahrenheit) will be the basis for acceptance or rejection of the product.

(iv) EXISTENT GUM. The preferred vaporizing medium for aviation turbine fuel is steam, however, the existent gum test (ASTM D381) may be performed using air as the vaporizing medium at the following operating temperatures: Bath: 232 to 246 degrees Celsius; Test well: 229 to 235 degrees Celsius. If air is used instead of steam while performing ASTM D381 and the test fails then the sample shall be retested using steam.

(v) WORKMANSHIP. The workmanship criteria in MIL-DTL-83133H with AMENDMENT 1, paragraph 3.4, is revised to read, “At the custody transfer point, the finished fuel shall be clear and bright and visually free from undissolved water and particulate matter in accordance with ASTM D4176, Procedure 2, with a result of Rating 1, maximum. If the sample fails ASTM D4176 only because it contains visible particulate matter, but meets the particulate matter requirements of 1.0 mg/L maximum as stated in MIL-DTL-83133H with AMENDMENT 1, Table I, the workmanship criteria is met. In case of dispute as determined by sample results taken from the custody transfer point, the fuel shall be clear and bright at 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit) and shall contain no more than 1.0 mg/L of particulate matter. The sample in dispute shall be taken into an area where the sample is permitted to slowly equilibrate to 21 degrees Celsius (70 degrees Fahrenheit).

Attachment C Page 9 of 24

(2) SPECIAL LOCATION REQUIREMENTS

(i) Rocky Mountain/West. Aviation fuel movement via the Chevron Pipeline (Utah, Idaho, or Washington state entry points) shall be limited to total sulfur content of 0.15 mass percent, maximum.

(ii) REFINERIES IN ALASKA. For fuels refined in Alaska and delivered to Alaska locations, the total Acid number shall be relaxed to 0.020 mg KOH/g maximum.

(iii) All references pertaining to Synthetic Paraffinic Kerosene (SPK), Fischer-Tropsch processes/materials, or synthetic blending materials shall not apply.

(iv) ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENT APPLICABLE TO AN8 ONLY. AN8 is used for Antarctic fuels operations and shall have a freezing point of minus 58 degrees Celsius (minus 72 degrees Fahrenheit) or lower while maintaining a flash point of 38 degrees Celsius (100 degrees Fahrenheit) or higher. AN8 sulfur content requirement shall not exceed 0.0015 mass% (15 ppm). The Fuel System Icing Inhibitor (FSII) content of AN8 shall be between 0.10 to 0.15 vol%. The National Stock Number for AN8 is 9130- 01-373-0208.

(c) ADDITIVES. Additives are required for deliveries of JP8/AN8 per MIL-DTL-83133H with AMENDMENT 1, unless addition is excluded by specific solicitation line item, applicable contract clause, or other contractual requirement.

(1) The corrosion inhibitor/lubricity improver (CI/LI) additive(s) used shall be of the type and concentration cited in

QPL-25017.

(2) Metal deactivator additive shall not be used in JP8 unless the Contractor has obtained written consent from the Contracting Officer.

(3) Line injection of additives (FSII, CI/LI and SDA) from shipping tank to delivery conveyance is permitted under the following conditions:

(i) A laboratory hand blend containing the required additives and aviation turbine fuel must be tested to verify compliance with the specification.

(ii) Additives must be proportionately injected throughout the entire loading process to ensure the additive is homogeneously blended into the product. The Contractor shall maintain records evidencing the homogeneous blending of all line injected additives. Such records shall include meter or tank gauge readings or test results taken at intervals to provide confidence in the injection process.

(iii) When FSII is line injected, additive concentration must be verified based on a sample representative of the entire shipment.

(iv) When SDA is line injected, and insufficient time is available for the fuel to reach equilibrium before departure of the shipping conveyance, the Contractor is not required to report or verify the conductivity level on a representative sample from the conveyance. This does not relieve the Contractor of the requirement to inject SDA homogeneously and in sufficient quantity to obtain a conductivity level which the Contractor would anticipate to be within the specification limits once the fuel is at equilibrium. The receiving activity will measure the conductivity and advise the Contractor if it does not meet the specification requirements and the Contractor shall adjust the SDA injection quantity accordingly.

C0006 - C16.69 FUEL SPECIFICATIONS (PC&S) (DLA ENERGY FEB 2013)
