CAUTION NOTICE

Offerors are cautioned that all components must be of domestic origin in compliance with clause 252.225-7012, Preference for Certain Domestic Commodities (FEB 2013), 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.

The Government intends to make an award for the purchase of the item Socks, Men’s, Cotton/Nylon, Dress, Black, NSN: 8440-00-543-7773(s); PGC: 00306 and NSN: 8440-01-495-2994(s); PGC: 02767

LOW PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) ACQUISITION

1. In the past, most Best Value Clothing and Textile solicitations utilized Best Value Trade Off Procedures, however, this acquisition is utilizing Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Best Value Method. As such, no “trade off” applies and the Government intends to award to the low priced firm who is compliant with the terms of the solicitation, and deemed “Technically Acceptable”. Also, unlike previous acquisitions for this type of item, there will be no allowable re-submittals for PDM (Product Demonstration Model) and only firms with acceptable PDMs will be eligible for award. Technical Acceptability is being defined herein as acceptable PDMs and compliance with all solicitation terms and conditions. All PDMs will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria outlined in the solicitation.

2. From among technically acceptable firms, the Government will then select the lowest price offeror and determine if that firm is responsible, complies with terms and conditions of the solicitation and an award to that firm is 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 low priced offer until one is identified that does meet the criteria, in which case award will be made to that firm.

3. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations with a competitive range group of offerors from among technically acceptable firms, based on price. If negotiations are conducted, award will be made to the lowest priced offeror (based on final proposal revision) that is technically acceptable, responsible and compliant with the solicitation terms and conditions.

This solicitation will contain a Two-Phase Technical/Price Evaluation.

Caution Notice: 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. After the completion of this review, the contracting officer will determine whether to establish a competitive range and enter into negotiations, or to award without discussions.

Solicitation SPE1C1-15-R-0096 will be issued as a 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE, which will result in an Indefinite Delivery/ Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm fixed price contract in accordance with FAR Part 13.5, Test Program For Certain Commercial Items.

There are four (4) ONE-YEAR OPTION TERMS for this solicitation. You are required to offer on the OPTION YEARS as well as the BASE ORDERING TERM. Failure to do so will result in the
