SECTION A

A-1

Note: All hand carried offers are to be delivered to the Business Opportunities Office between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for legal federal holidays as set forth in 5 USC 6103, and except on the closing date of this solicitation, in which case delivery must be made by the time set for receipt of offers as stated in block 8 of the Standard Form 33. 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 offers prior to the scheduled closing time above. Package must be plainly marked ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE COMMERCIAL CARRIER’S ENVELOPE with the solicitation number, date, and time set forth for receipt of offers as indicated in Block 8 of the Standard Form 33 .

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.

Contractors intending to deliver offers in-person should be advised that the Business Opportunities Office (Bid Room) is located within a secured military installation. In order to gain access to the facility, an escort may be required. The escort will be an employee of the Bid Room. The following are telephone numbers for the Bid Room: (215) 737-8511, (215) 737-9044, (215) 737-7354, (215) 737-0317, or (215) 737-8566. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that the offers are received at the correct location at the correct time. Please allow sufficient time to complete delivery of hand carried offers. Since the length of time necessary to gain access to the facility varies based on a number of circumstances, it is recommended that you arrive at the installation at least one hour prior to the time solicitation closes to allow for security processing and to secure an escort.

Note: This is a suggestion and not a guarantee that you will gain access to the base if you arrive one hour before the offer is due.

Facsimile offers are acceptable forms of transmission of initial proposals or revisions to initial proposals. The fax number for the Bid Room is 215-737-9300.

PAGE 3 OF 130 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

E-mail offers are not acceptable forms of transmission for submission of initial proposals or revisions to initial proposals submitted in response to this solicitation. As directed by the Contracting Officer, e-mail may be used during discussions/negotiations, if discussions/negotiations are held, and for proposal revision(s), including Final Proposal revision(s).

Matthew Conroy (matthew.conroy@dla.mil) or James Lecollier (James.Lecollier@dla.mil) may receive the e-mailed proposal revisions. If and when a request for proposal revision is issued, the date and time for receipt of proposal revisions, if applicable, will be designated in that request. Submission of proposals and any revisions are subject to the terms of FAR 15.208.

Note: Submission of proposals through the upload capability in DIBBs is prohibited.

Note: The Government intends to evaluate offers and make award(s) without discussions with offerors.

Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Note: In accordance with DLAD Clause 52.215-9023, Reverse Auction, the Government may utilize Reverse Auction as a pricing technique under this solicitation.

Note: Included in Section I are the full text versions of the Cyber Incidents clauses, DFARS 252.204-7008, and 252.204-7012.

CAUTION - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS

FAR Part 3.1002(a) requires all Government contractors to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity and honesty. Contractors should have a written code of business ethics and conduct. To promote compliance with such code of business ethics and conduct, contractors should have an employee business ethics and compliance training program that facilitates timely discovery and disclosure of improper conduct in connection with Government contracts and ensures corrective measures are promptly instituted and carried out.

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. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733)

PAGE 4 OF 130 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

This solicitation or contract includes FAR clause 52.203-13 - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT; contained elsewhere in the solicitation or contract. The contractor shall comply with the terms of the clause and have a written code of business ethics and conduct; exercise due diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct; promote ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law within their organization; and timely report any violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or any violations of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733)

Set-Aside Status NAICS SB EMPLOYEE # Unrestricted 311422 1,250

B-2 General Information

The effective period of the contract for the first tier will be from effective date of award through 365 days. The contract contains five, one-year tiers.

The quantity above in B-1 (B) represents the estimated quantity. The supplies in paragraph B-1 (D) above represent the minimum and maximum quantities to be purchased.

A plan to address the Surge and Sustainment requirements is required for this solicitation. Offerors are required to provide the Surge and Sustainment Plan according to the chart in Section I, Surge and Sustainment.

B-3 Indefinite Quantity Contract:

This solicitation will result in an Indefinite-Quantity Contract (IQC), as provided in FAR Clause 52.216- 22 Indefinite Quantity. In an IQC, the Government awards a range of quantities rather than a single fixed quantity. The bottom of the range is the minimum (the IQC minimum quantity), which the Government is obliged to order and which is all it is committed to order. The top of the range is the maximum (The IQC maximum quantity) which is the largest quantity the Government may order, and which the contractor agrees to provide if ordered. The Government may order a quantity within that range. Sometimes an estimated quantity is stated also; this may be the same as the minimum or the maximum, or it may be a quantity within the IQC range.

B-4 Tier Pricing

Offerors are requested to submit offers in all five tiers. Offerors may submit their offered prices within Section L of the solicitation or using their own similar format. Failure to indicate an offer on any tier shall be deemed non-acceptance of the tier and could result in rejection of the offeror’s entire proposal. Offerors may offer unit prices that differ per Tier.

B-5 Product Demonstration Models (PDMs):

PAGE 6 OF 130 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

Acceptable PDMs, also referred to as approved PDMs, will be used as production standards by both the

Contractor and the Government. The production lots/product-codes used as the production standards by both the Contractor and the Government shall be identical. The approval of any PDM will not constitute a waiver of the requirement that all delivered product must meet all other contractual requirements such as but not limited to analytical requirements, physical requirements, microbiological requirements and/or performance requirements unless specifically stated by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall be responsible for the shipment of PDM samples to Natick, to DLA Troop Support, and as required, to Government Quality Assurance Representatives (GQAR).

As required by this solicitation/contract, for each component item requiring a PDM, each Contractor shall possess said Contractor’s own set of approved PDMs and shall be responsible for the retention and distribution of said PDMs to Government entities.

Initial PDM:

PDMs must be submitted prior to the close of the solicitation and found to meet the standards as referenced elsewhere in the solicitation. If a PDM for the same item has been approved for another contract within a period of a year, a PDM for that item may not need to be submitted for this contract.

Refer to Sections L and M for submission and evaluation instructions for PDMs.

New PDM:

During the course of contract performance, new items may be introduced for delivery during the next delivery period. PDMs are required for all new food items and shall be submitted 45 days prior to end of the current delivery period and the start of the delivery period in which the new items will be incorporated into the FSR. If approved product technical requirements documents for new food items are not available to meet this requirement, PDMs shall be submitted within 30 days from the date the requirements document is published.

Offerors shall certify that the PDM(s) conforms to all specification/production description characteristics, or shall adequately describe any differences the PDM may have from the requirements of the product description or specification(s). Failure of models to conform to the specification may result in rejection of the offer.

Offerors shall also warrant that product submitted under any resultant contract shall conform to all packaging, labeling and packing requirements as well as analytical requirements. Product from any resultant contract that does not conform to all requirements shall not be accepted by the Government.

Replacement PDM:

Changes in production methodology or packaging, such as implementation of new technology, may result in a product with one or more observable characteristics differing from the production standard.

If it is determined by the contractor that any change in a product characteristic, other than changes to shape or dimension compatible with performance requirements, results in a product that is no longer comparable to the production standard, the contractor shall submit a replacement. If it is determined that any

PAGE 7 OF 130 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

changes to shape or dimension impact on the ability to compare the new product to the production standard in terms of the performance requirements designated for appearance, odor, flavor, and texture, the contractor shall submit a replacement. The contractor shall submit a replacement if determined necessary by the Government.

Offerors shall certify that the PDM(s) conforms to all specification/production description characteristics, or shall adequately describe any differences the PDM may have from the requirements of the product description or specification(s). Failure of models to conform to the specification may result in rejection of the offer.

Offerors shall also warrant that product submitted under any resultant contract shall conform to all packaging, labeling and packing requirements as well as analytical requirements. Product from any resultant contract that does not conform to all requirements shall not be accepted by the Government.

Upon approval by DLA Troop Support, the Replacement PDM will become the product standard.

Replenishment PDM:

Every 12 months, or as needed, for finished-product components inspected by the Government at origin, the Government Quality Assurance Representative (GQAR) shall replenish the Government's supply of PDM's at origin with 70 samples randomly selected from a lot inspected and accepted by the Government for all contractual requirements. In addition, the GQAR shall randomly select from the lot 32 replenishment samples for Natick and 4 replenishment samples for DLA Troop Support.

Upon approval by DLA Troop Support, the Replenishment PDM will become the product standard.

Submission Process for New, Replacement, and Replenishment PDMs:

A total of 106 PDMs of each item shall be submitted as follows:

A total of 32 PDMs of each item shall be sent to:

DEPARTMENT OF THE ARMY

RDNS-SEC-EMR (Jill Bates)

NATICK SOLDIER SYSTEMS CENTER

10 GENERAL GREENE AVENUE

NATICK, MA 01760

Note: The end or side of the Case should have a sticker, or be printed on the Case, with the following information:

Product Demonstration Model Contract Number Product Identity Lot# Company Name and Address Point of Contact Name and Phone Number

PAGE 8 OF 130 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

Inside the Case, along with the 32 PDMs, should be the required paperwork fully identifying the item;

the lot number; the contractor; the subcontractor (i.e., supplier of CFM accessory-pack food items and bulk-packed food items¹); the contract number; the type of ration; the type of PDM (New, Replenishment, or Replacement); the current PDM lot number; USDA certification as applicable; analytical and microbiological test results performed by contractor and/or Government; any other information to assist in identifying the product and conducting the evaluation. Analytical and microbiological test results, wherever required, must be submitted with PDMs.

For items requiring Government origin inspection:

a. The contractor shall submit a total of 70 New or Replacement PDMs to the cognizant in-plant Government inspector (GQAR) for Government use. In this instance, the offeror shall advise the Government inspector prior to production of the PDMs and shall obtain a signed statement from the inspector confirming possession of the PDMs and identifying the PDMs as from the same production lot as those submitted to Natick. The offeror shall submit this statement(s) along with four PDMs to DLA Troop Support (c/o the applicable Contract Specialist). These four PDMs must come from the same product-code as those submitted to Natick and to the USDA Government inspector.

b. The GQAR shall collect a total of 70 Replenishment PDMs for Government use. The offeror shall submit four PDMs to DLA Troop Support (c/o the applicable Contract Specialist). These 4 PDMs must come from the same product-code as those submitted to Natick and collected by the GQAR.

Contractors may possess their own sets of approved PDMs that were derived from identical finished-component production lots and/or identical bulk-component production lots; to be referred to as in-common product-code PDMs. The submitting Contractor will send written notification of in-common product-code submissions, endorsed by each participating Contractor, to DLA Troop Support for approval by the Contracting Officer. DLA Troop Support shall notify Natick as to which contractors are submitting what in-common product-codes. Once notified of Contracting Officer approval, the submitting Contractor shall include in its submission package the identity of the Contractors for whom the submission pertains. The submitting Contractor shall also be responsible for the distribution and shipment of any in-common product-code PDM samples to Natick, to DLA Troop Support, and, for items requiring Government origin inspection, to on-site and off-site GQARs. The GQAR at each participating Contractor shall receive their required 70 PDM samples.

¹Bulk-packed means packing prior to finished-product packaging.

Evaluation Process for New, Replacement, and Replenishment PDMs:

A Natick PDM evaluation panel shall evaluate New and Replacement PDMs for compliance with product specifications and for compliance with the sensory characteristics designated and defined in the product’s technical documents. These sensory characteristics, namely appearance, odor, flavor, and texture (or combination thereof where dictated by the product’s technical documents), shall represent distinct sensory characteristic categories and shall be evaluated by category by panelist. Each panelist shall assign to each sensory characteristic category a quality rating by using a 9-point quality scale, where 9 is the highest rating and 1 the lowest rating. The mean value of the panelist’s ratings for each sensory characteristic category shall be determined.

PAGE 9 OF 130 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

Natick shall assign an overall quality scale rating to each New and Replacement PDM that it evaluates.

The overall rating shall be equal to the mean score of the lowest-rated sensory characteristic category. For each New PDM, an overall quality rating of 6.00 through 9.00 shall indicate an acceptable rating and an overall quality rating of 1.00 through 5.99 shall indicate an unacceptable rating. For each Replacement PDM, an overall quality rating of 6.00 through 9.00 shall indicate an acceptable rating and an overall quality rating of

1.00 through 5.99 shall indicate an unacceptable rating. In addition, for a Replacement PDM to be found “acceptable”, its overall quality rating shall be equal to or higher than the original overall quality scale assigned to the Initial, New, or Replacement PDM representing the item to be replaced. A lower overall quality rating shall indicate an unacceptable Replacement rating.

Natick shall evaluate Replenishment PDMs for appearance, odor, flavor and texture; and the evaluation must determine the Replenishment PDM to be equal to or better than the existing product standard for all characteristics in order to be rated as “Acceptable”.

The results of Natick’s PDM evaluations shall be reported to DLA Troop Support as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. An “Acceptable” PDM-rating shall not constitute a waiver of any specification requirement unless specifically stated by the Contracting Officer.
