Notes:

NOTE REGARDING “HAND-CARRIED PROPOSALS:”

1. All hand-carried proposals 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 federal holidays as set forth in 5 United States Code Section 6103. Offerors using a commercial carrier service must ensure that the carrier “hand-carries” the package to the Business Opportunities Office specified above for hand-carried proposals prior to the instant Solicitation's closing date and 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 proposals as indicated in Block 8 of the Standard Form 1449 (Page 1 of Solicitation).

2. An offeror intending to deliver its proposal in-person is advised that the Business Opportunities Office (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) 737-8511, 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 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 ONE 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).

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 (DEC 2017), 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.

Very Important: Solicitation SPE1C1-21-R-0044 will be issued as a 100% SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE.

The Government intends to make more than one award for the purchase of the item Socks, Black, Athletic, PGC:

00338; NSN: 8415-01-692-2228(s); under this solicitation for different quantities of the same supplies to one or more sources (FAR 16.504 (c)(1)(i). The intent is to have different contractors for each of the separate contracts that will be awarded from this solicitation.

This solicitation contains two separate and distinct lots that will result in two separate awards. For the purposes of efficiency, these lots are being combined in one solicitation rather than issuing separate solicitations for each lot.

Minimum quantities, estimated quantities and maximum quantities for each lot are contained in Section B of this solicitation. The quantities for Lot 0001 represent 50% of the total annual estimated quantity for PGC: 00338; NSN:

8415-01-692-2228(s); 3 pair banded, and the quantities for Lot 0002 represent 50% of the total annual estimated quantity for PGC: 00338; NSN: 8415-01-692-2228(s); 3 pair banded. It is the intent of the Government to award a contract for each lot based on the evaluation criteria and plan outlined in the solicitation.

However, no offeror will receive an award for both lots unless it is determined that there are no other offers that meet the solicitation requirements for Lot 0002. Lot 0002 would then be dissolved into Lot 0001.

The award for Lot 0001 will be made before the award for Lot 0002. To ensure that multiple sources are available, and to ensure the continuous availability of reliable sources of supply, the offeror who is selected as the best value for Lot 0001 will be eliminated from competition on Lot 0002 based on the authority in FAR 6.202(a)(4). The offeror who is selected for Lot 0001 will withdraw from consideration for Lot 0002.

Orders will be issued under each separate contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and without notice to, or consideration of, any other contractor, or consideration of the terms and conditions of any other contract. The fair opportunity provisions of FAR 16.505(b) will not be applicable to orders under the resulting contracts.

RFID is required at item, case and pallet level.

BEST VALUE TRADEOFF ACQUISITION WITH ADJECTIVAL RATING PDMS

For this solicitation, PDM and Past Performance will be reviewed. Aspects of Past Performance are Recency, Relevancy and Quality. Included in the Quality sub-factor will be Quality and Delivery Performance. These sub-factors will be combined to arrive at an overall Performance Confidence Assessment. Technical merit and Past Performance are more important than price.

1. Best Value Source Selection Trade-Off Procedures Source Selection procedures will be utilized for this solicitation.

“Best Value” evaluation will be employed using the following evaluation factors: Product Demonstration Model (PDM), Past Performance and Price.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 7 OF 120 PAGES

SPE1C1-21-R-0044

Form (CONTINUED)

All PDMs will be evaluated using adjectival ratings in accordance with the criteria outlined in the solicitation. There will be no allowable re-submittals for PDM (Product Demonstration Model).

2. The Government will also review the second evaluation factor: Past Performance. The Government intends to award to the firm who is the best value to the Government with regards to acceptable passing PDMs, and acceptable Past Performance and Price. Passing PDMs and Past Performance when combined are more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated price becomes more important. From among the firms with Passing PDMs, the Government will then select the responsible firm that complies with terms and conditions of the solicitation, and an award to that firm is considered 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 offer until one is identified that does meet the criteria, in which case award will be made to that firm.

NOTE: A rating of Un-Acceptable for PDM will result in the offer being removed from award consideration and the proposal will not be reviewed any further.

NOTE: The Government reserves the right to evaluate past performance up until award.

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

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. The remaining offers will then be evaluated for the remaining technical and past performance evaluation factors. 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.

4. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations with a competitive range group of offerors from among firms with most highly rated offers. If negotiations are conducted, award will be made to the offeror (based on final proposal revision) that is the best value to the Government, has a passing PDM or better, and is determined responsible and compliant with the solicitation terms and conditions based on an “integral assessment of PDM, Past Performance and Price".
