The following Procurement Guidance Notices (PGNs) are incorporated by reference.

The full text of the notices can be found at: https://www.dla.mil/Aviation/Business/DAANS.

PGN-13-01 Evaluation and Award for Simplified Acquisitions (August 2024)

(a) AWARD. The Government intends to evaluate quotations. The award will be made to the quoter whose quote conforms to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government. Therefore, award may be made to other than the lowest priced or the highest technically rated quote.

(b) RELATIVE IMPORTANCE AND TRADE-OFFS. The Government will base the determination of best value on a comparative assessment of the quoters' 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.

[X] approximately equal to cost or price; or

[ ] 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.

The final award decision may involve a trade-off among cost or price and the non-price factors. Factors that may be considered in the trade-off process include, but are not limited to:

Item criticality and weapons system application

Current inventory status

Historical delivery or quality problems

Concerns over limited supply sources and industrial base

Benefits from obtaining new sources

(c) COST OR PRICE. The Government will evaluate the quoted cost or price. The Government will add any other cost or price evaluation factors identified elsewhere in this solicitation (e.g., Buy American Act or FOB Origin transportation costs) to arrive at the quoter's evaluated cost or price. The evaluated cost or price will be used in conjunction with the other non-price factors to determine the best value to the Government.

(d) PAST PERFORMANCE. Past performance includes, but is not limited to, the quoter's record of conforming to contract requirements and standards of good workmanship; adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the quoter's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the quoter's business-like concern for the customer's interest.

(1) The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) is the current term for past performance that is formerly known as Past Performance Information Retrieval System –

Statistical Reporting (SPRS), as applicable, will be used to evaluate quality and past performance on DLA awards (refer to Procurement Note L08).

(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 subfactors, SPRS assessments (as applicable) will be weighed most heavily. Historical quality history and delivery schedule compliance (not captured in SPRS) will be weighed more heavily than the remaining past performance subfactors. All other non-price evaluation factors specified in this solicitation weigh equally, unless otherwise indicated.

[X] SPRS Assessments ( PROC NOTE L08)

[ ] Historical Quality (not captured in SPRS)

[ ] Historical Delivery Schedule Compliance (not captured in SPRS)

[ ] Other (specify):

(End of Notice)

PGN-13-01 (ALT I) Evaluation and Award for Simplified Acquisitions (March 2018)

(a) Quoted Delivery. The Government will evaluate the quoter’s compliance with the delivery schedule specified in the solicitation. Quoting a greater number of days delivery than requested under the solicitation will result in the quote being evaluated less favorably than a quote meeting the requested delivery schedule. There will be no evaluation preference for quoted delivery which is earlier than the requested delivery schedule.

(b) Non-Price Factors. Quoted delivery and past performance will be evaluated equally, unless indicated otherwise below.

(2) If there is a separate FAT CLIN, the offeror shall include all costs and risk associated with completion of the FAT requirement in the FAT CLIN price.

The unit of issue for the FAT CLIN, EACH, is equal to one First Article Test (1EA=1FAT). To receive payment for any costs associated with FAT, the offeror shall propose costs associated with FAT on a separate CLIN. The offeror shall base the production CLIN price solely on all costs associated with completion of the production units and shall exclude all FAT-related costs.

(3) The contracting officer will use the total award price in selecting the best value offer from among all eligible offerors. However, for an offeror to be eligible for award, the contracting officer must determine that the FAT CLIN price (unless FAT is waived) and the production CLIN price are fair and reasonable; and, if set-aside under FAR Part 19, a fair market price. The offeror shall not propose a FAT CLIN price that is materially unbalanced in relation to the production CLIN price. In the event an offeror receives a waiver of the FAT requirement, the contracting officer will deduct the FAT CLIN price for the waived source in determining the total award price.

(4)(a) Notwithstanding the conditions for waiving first article, the contracting officer may order an additional first article sample, or portion thereof, in writing if there is a --

(iii) Engineering control document/change number of item previously furnished.

(b) There have been no changes to manufacturing processes, tooling, or place of performance.

(c) There have been no changes to manufacturing data (e.g., drawing revisions that change materials, dimensions, processes, inspection or testing requirements; or subcontractors used to manufacture the items successfully in the past).

If the item shipping costs, based on the actual shipping characteristics, exceed the item shipping costs used for evaluation purposes, the Contractor agrees that the contract price shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the transportation costs actually incurred, and the costs which would have been incurred if the evaluated shipping characteristics had been accurate.

(b) The guaranteed shipping characteristics requested in paragraph (a)(1) of this clause do not establish actual transportation requirements, which are specified elsewhere in this solicitation. The guaranteed shipping characteristics will be used only for the purpose of evaluating offers and establishing any liability of the successful offeror for increased transportation costs resulting from actual shipping characteristics which differ from those used for evaluation in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause.
