SPE300-15-R0024 - Amendment 0009

The solicitation is amended concerning two issues: 1) the number of days scheduled for implementation after contract award; and 2) the number of customers routinely served as cited in Factor II of the Non-Price evaluation criteria. Specific language changes are as follows (NOTE:

all original language and page numbers cited below are referring to the amended Statement of Work as contained in Amendment 0001):

The above is deleted and replaced with:

Contract Implementation Phase, A. 1. i. “Within 105 days after award, the Prime Vendor shall be fully prepared to support all customers under the terms and conditions of the new contract. New and fully functional catalogs must be established during this time.”

Within 180 days after award, the Prime Vendor shall be fully prepared to support all customers under the terms and conditions of the new contract. New and fully functional catalogs must be established during this time.

d) Amendment 0001, Attachment 1, page 45: III Contract Implementation Phase;

A; 2; ii; “The incumbent Prime Vendor will remain the principal source of food and non-food supplies for the entire 105 day implementation period.”

e) Amendment 0001, Attachment 1, page 46: III Contract Implementation Phase;

Sample Implementation Phase Note: The implementation timeline begins on the contract award date and ends 105 days thereafter. If a stop work order is issued during the implementation, the Prime Vendor will be required to stop work and will not be able to perform unless the stop work order is rescinded. If the stop work order is rescinded, the Prime Vendor will resume the implementation schedule from the date that the stop work order was issued. The 105-day period will not re-start from the beginning. For example:

Contract Award Date: March 30, 2017 Stop Work Order Issued: April 30, 2017 Stop Work Order Rescinded: June 30, 2017 Implementation Timeline: March 30, 2017–April 30, 2017 and June 30, 2017–Sept 30, 2017

B. CONTRACT TRANSITION OUT– RAMP DOWN

1. As part of this contract, the Prime Vendor will be required to participate in a contract ramp-down/transition out. DLA Troop Support anticipates that a follow-on contract will be awarded at least 105 days before the expiration of this contract to allow for a coordinated ramp-down of the existing Prime Vendor and ramp-up of the follow-on Prime Vendor. The Prime Vendor will be required to coordinate all aspects of its ramp-down with the Contracting Officer and provide a ramp-down schedule, if requested.”

The above is deleted and replaced with:

It is the Government’s intent to have all orders placed and delivered under the new contract 180 days after award, however, the Government reserves the right to phase in customer ordering points when it is in the best interest of the Government.
