CAUTION NOTICES:

OFFER EVALUATION

This acquisition will utilize Best Value Source Selection procedures. This Solicitation requires the submission of a Technical Proposal consisting of a Product Demonstration Models (PDM) and Past Performance information as part of the offer. For award evaluation purposes Technical merit is significantly more important in the award evaluation process than price. The Technical proposal will be evaluated to determine compliance with all characteristics listed for evaluation in the solicitation (Additional Source Selection Evaluation Procedures).

Failure to furnish this information by the time specified in the solicitation may be cause for rejection of offers if not otherwise acceptable under the provisions for considering late offers.

Prices will be evaluated based on the Annual Order Limitation Quantity (AOLQ) listed in Schedule of Supplies Section of this solicitation.

Offerors are required to submit one PDM for each item listed under "INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMITTING PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION MODEL (PDM) (1)(a)" and past performance information from the period three (3) years prior to the solicitation closing date.

FAILURE TO SUBMIT A PDM WITH THE OFFEROR'S PROPOSAL AT THE TIME AND DATE OF THE INITIAL CLOSING

OF THE SOLICITATION WILL CAUSE THE OFFEROR'S ENTIRE PROPOSAL TO BE REJECTED.

The contract will contain a 60-month period, with five (5) separate twelve (12) month price Tiers. Failure to offer on all Tiers will result in reject of the offeror's entire proposal.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

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

PRODUCTION DEMONSTRATION MODEL - CAUTION NOTICE

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT ALL OFFERORS READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS NOTICE:

This solicitation requires submission of Product Demonstration Models (PDM) at time of closing as specified in this document. This solicitation will permit only an initial submission of the PDM with the offeror's proposal at the time and date of initial closing of the solicitation; offerors will not be given the opportunity to present subsequent submissions to correct deficiencies noted in the Government's evaluation of initial PDMs. Therefore, it is imperative that offerors put forth their best effort in constructing this PDM. Any correction to the PDM will not be permitted and will not be accepted by the Government.

FAILURE TO SUBMIT A PDM WILL CAUSE THE OFFEROR'S ENTIRE PROPOSAL TO BE REJECTED.

NOTICE TO PROSPECTIVE SUPPLIERS ON USE OF SUPPLIER PERFROMANCE RISK SYSTEM IN PAST

PERFORMANCE EVALUATIONS

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) application (https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/) will be used in the evaluation of suppliers' past performance. Reference provision language elsewhere in this solicitation.

“THE GOVERNMENT WILL RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONSIDER PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION THAT

OCCURS FOLLOWING THE CLOSING OF THE SOLICITATION AS WELL”.

CAUTION NOTICE - TWO PHASE TECHNICAL / PRICE EVALUATION

The Government anticipates that numerous offerors will submit proposals on 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 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.

CAUTION NOTICE -PRICE SUSTAINABILITY

As part of the United States Defense Industrial Base, offerors are strongly encouraged to develop pricing that adequately accounts for market risk and volatility, includes sufficient margins to withstand future unforeseen contingencies, and allows for long term viability. Offerors are advised to refrain from submitting any offers or bids with the anticipation that in the event costs increase that there may be a price adjustment and/or cancellation of the contract. Offers are reminded that the awardee is expected to, and will be contractually bound to, perform at the final pricing submitted for the duration of the contract performance period(s) established in this solicitation. The successful performance of your contract is critical to the continued support of our nation's warfighters.

LATE BIDS

It is the Offerors responsibility to ensure that offers reach the Government office designated in the solicitation on time.

It is also the responsibility of the Offeror to address and mark offers as specified in FAR 52.212-1(b) - INSTRUCTIONS TO

OFFERORS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUN 2020)

CAUTION: Facsimile offers are not authorized for this solicitation.

BERRY AMENDMENT COMPLIANCE

Offerors are cautioned that all components must be of domestic origin in compliance with DFARS clause 252.225-7012, Preference for Certain Domestic Commodities (DEC 2017).

A contractor may be suspended and/or debarred for knowing failure by a principal to timely disclose to the government, in connection with the award, performance, or closeout of a government contract performed by the contractor or a subcontract awarded there under, credible evidence of a violation of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or a violation of the False Claims Act.
