This solicitation may result in a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Contract (IDC) IAW FAR 12.

NOTE: THE MINIMUM BID ACCEPTANCE WILL BE 120 CALENDAR DAYS AFTER CLOSING UNLESS A DIFFERENT PERIOD IS SPECIFIED BY

THE OFFEROR.

**Total Maximum Contract Value not to Exceed: $10,000,000**

This solicitation is a 100% Small Business Set Aside (SBSA) in accordance with (IAW) FAR 19.502-2 (b). Only offers from approved small business sources will be considered. Approved sources are listed in the Purchase Order Text.

Government seeks to award a Small Business Set Aside (SBSA), Firm-Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery contract(s) consisting of a 3-year base performance period and one, 2-year option period IAW FAR 52.216-27 and FAR 16.504.

Contractors are required to price no less than 50% of the 139 NIINs being solicited to be considered for award. Any offers providing a quote for less than 50% of the NIINs will be removed from consideration.

The Guaranteed Minimum will be 10% of the value of the estimated annual quantity for the base year. There is no guarantee that the Government will place any orders after the guaranteed minimum or base period of the contract/order.

The individual NIINs represent currently known items with recent procurement history and the items for which there is forecast data. The list of NIINs is not intended to be all-inclusive and does not necessarily identify all NIINs that may be purchased via this action. It is expected that items included in this/ these IQC contract(s) will remain applicable for support under the contract(s); however, items may be excluded during each contract period upon notification to the source(s) supporting these efforts. As defined within this/these contract(s), items that meet the specified criteria of the SQS may be added to this/these contract(s) if not included in the current list of items and identified at a later date.

IAW Procurement Note L27 Addition and Deletion of Items: Addition/Deletion of NIINs: NIINs that are not specifically identified at time of contract award may be added/deleted to/from the contract(s). All items must meet the same compliance criteria established by the baseline contract (similar type items within the specified FSCs, AMSC “C” items, and other criteria established by the Government).

Pricing is to be based on the Estimated Annual Demand identified in the pricing sheet and pricing will be evaluated based on the estimated annual demand. Pricing will be evaluated line-by-line for each offer received that meets the 50% threshold of NIINs proposed. A single contract or several contracts may be awarded as a result of this effort.

If an awardee fails to perform on an item awarded on their contract, the item may be removed from that contract and will be competed amongst other eligible awardees. Failure to perform may be defined as failure to meet Contractual Delivery Date for a particular item or failure to achieve a 90% on-time delivery rate for the population of items awarded.

ESA can provide a 3D model to any contractor of the wing outer mold line, consider this in the offer.

Vendors should provide evidence of obsolescence or non-availability of material cited in drawings as part of the proposal

All offerors must submit a copy of the attached pricing spreadsheet directly to buyer, along with a signed copy of the solicitation.

(b) RELATIVE IMPORTANCE AND TRADE-OFFS. The Government will base the determination of best value on a comparative assessment of the offerors' prices, past performance, and the other evaluation factors identified elsewhere in this solicitation. The determination of best value also considers the relative importance of the evaluation factors. All evaluation factors, when combined, are:

[ ] significantly more important than cost or price. As other evaluation factors become more equal, the evaluated cost or price becomes more important.

[ ] significantly less important than cost or price. As the evaluated cost/price becomes more equal, relative importance of all other evaluation factors becomes more significant.

(e) PAST PERFORMANCE EVALUATION FACTORS. The Government will use the past performance evaluation factors marked below in addition to cost or price and other evaluation factors specified in the solicitation. Unless indicated otherwise, past performance is significantly more important than other non-price factors. Within the past performance

“Case” means either a MIL-STD-129 defined exterior container within a palletized unit load or a MIL-STD-129 defined individual shipping container.

“Electronic Product Code™ (EPC)” means an identification scheme for universally identifying physical objects via RFID tags and other means.

The standardized EPC data consists of an EPC (or EPC identifier) that uniquely identifies an individual object, as well as an optional filter value when judged to be necessary to enable effective and efficient reading of the EPC tags. In addition to this standardized data, certain classes of EPC tags will allow user-defined data. The EPC Tag Data Standards will define the length and position of this data, without defining its content.

“EPCglobal®” means a subscriber-driven organization comprised of industry leaders and organizations focused on creating global standards
