FURTHER, THE ABOVE ADDRESS IS ALSO APPLICABLE WHEN THE OFFEROR SUBMITS ITS PROPOSAL VIA A

COMMERCIAL CARRIER (E.G. UPS, FEDEX, DHL, ETC.).

NOTES:

NOTE REGARDING HAND-CARRIED PROPOSALS:

1. All hand carried offers are to be delivered to the Business Opportunities Office between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m ET., Monday through Friday, except for legal federal holidays as set forth in 5 USC 6103. Offerors using a commercial carrier service must ensure that the carrier service “hand carries” the package to the Business Opportunities Office specified above for hand carried Proposals prior to the instant solicitation’s scheduled opening/closing time. As previously stated, the hand-carried proposal’s package must be plainly marked ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMERCIAL CARRIER’S ENVELOPE with the solicitation number, closing date, and time set forth for receipt of offers as indicated in Block 8 of the Standard Form 1449 (Page 1 of the solicitation).

2. An offeror intending to deliver its proposal in person is advised that the Business Opportunities Officer (also referred to as the “Bid Room”) is located within a secure military installation. In order to gain access to the Business Opportunities Office, an escort may be required. The escort will be an employee of the Business Opportunities Office.

The following are telephone numbers for the Business Opportunities Office: (215)737-8411, 9044, 7354, 0317 and 8566. Upon arriving at the security office, the offeror should call the Business Opportunities Office in order to obtain an escort. An offeror is advised to allow sufficient time to complete delivery of hand-carried proposals. Since the length of

PAGE 4 OF 78 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

time necessary to gain access to the Business Opportunities Office varies based on a number of circumstances, it is recommended that an offeror arrive at the installation at least one hour prior to the time that the solicitation closes to allow for security processing and to secure an escort. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS ADVISORY IS A SUGGESTION AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT AN OFFEROR WILL GAIN ACCESS TO THE BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES OFFICE IF IT ARRIVES ON HOUR BEFORE THE PROPOSAL IS DUE. Ultimately, it is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that its proposal is received at the correct location at the correct time. Failure to do so may result in the offeror’s proposal being deemed untimely and not considered further for the award per FAR 52.212-1(f).

3. Examples of “hand carried” offers include: In-person delivery by contractor, Fed Ex, Airborne, UPS, DHL, Emery, other commercial carrier, USPS Express Mail, and USPS Certified Mail.

› Transmit “facsimile” offers (if authorized; see “Addendum” to 52.212-1(b)) or offer modifications/withdrawals to:

(215) 737-9300, 9301, 9302 or 9303 Facsimile offers shall NOT be considered at this time.

3. Block 17a › Offeror’s assigned Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number:

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 Section I of 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 on Section K of this solicitation.

Very Important: Solicitation SPE1C117-R-0074 will be issued as a 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE. PLEASE NOTE: In accordance with DFARS 208.602-70, as implemented by Section 872 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008, a federal supply class which has significant market share of greater than 5% as determined by DoD in consultation with the Office of Federal Procurement Policy must be acquired using competitive procedures.

The T-Shirt, Moisture Wicking (FSC 8415) is a part of the affected federal supply class, and is to be competed.

However, a timely offer from FPI/UNICOR will be considered for award in accordance with the specifications and evaluation factors as outlined in the solicitation.

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.

PAGE 5 OF 78 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

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.

The Government intends to make two (2) awards (Lot 1 – Towel, Bath, Brown [24x50 or 20x48 – any combination] and Lot 2 – Washcloth, Microfiber, Brown). However, the Government reserves the right to make one award for Lot 1 (Towels) and Lot 2 (Washcloth) if it is determined the same source is deemed the best value for both items. All materials are furnished by the Contractor.

THERE ARE FOUR (4) ONE YEAR OPTION TERMS FOR BOTH LOTS OF THIS SOLICITATION. YOU ARE REQUIRED TO OFFER ON THE OPTION YEARS AS WELL AS THE BASE ORDERING TERM FOR EITHER LOT 1, LOT 2 OR BOTH LOTS 1 &2. FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN THE REJECTION OF YOUR ENTIRE

PROPOSAL.

Refer to Section “L & M”. Technical Proposals are required to be submitted since this is a LOW PRICED TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) BEST VALUE SOURCE SELECTION ACQUISITION. Failure to submit a technical proposal may result in the rejection of your entire offer.
