“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-15-01 Evaluation Factors for Acquisitions Above the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (October 2026)

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR ACQUISITIONS ABOVE THE SIMPLIFIED ACQUISITION THRESHOLD (October 2026)

(a) General Basis for Award: The award will be made to the offeror whose proposal/offer conforms to the requirements of the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government: The award may be made to other than the lowest priced or highest technically rated proposal/offer.

(b) Trade-off: The Government will base the determination of best value on a comparative assessment of the offeror’s prices, past performance, and other evaluation factors identified in 44 the 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.

[ ] approximately equal to price.

[ ] 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.

(c) COST or PRICE: The Government will adjust the offered price by adding cost or price related evaluation factors, e.

g. Buy American statute or transportation costs (FOB) identified in the solicitation. This adjusted price will be used in conjunction with the other evaluation factors to determine the best value to the Government.

(d) PAST PERFORMANCE

(i) See 'DLAD Procurement Note - L08 Use of Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) in Past Performance Evaluations for past performance information.

(ii) In addition to SPRS, evaluation of past performance may consider any other relevant information available to the Government.

(iii) Offerors may submit information on past and current Federal (non-DLA), State and local government and private sector contracts performed by the offeror at the proposed performance location within the last three years that are similar in nature to this acquisition.

(1) Offerors electing to submit this information must include the name and address of the contracting entity; the contract number; award and completion dates; the dollar value; the contract type; the items or services provided; two references, with title and phone number; and any problems encountered and the corrective action taken by the offeror.

(2) By submitting this information, the offeror agrees to permit the Government's representatives to contact the listed references and inquire about the offeror's performance. If more than three contracts are identified, the Government may randomly select and limit its review to three contracts. Offerors will be given the opportunity to discuss negative past performance information obtained from references if the offeror has not had a previous opportunity to comment on that information.

(iv) The acquisition specialist will not evaluate the absence of past performance 45 history as necessarily favorable or unfavorable.

(e) SURGE AND SUSTAINMENT. The Government will evaluate the offeror's ability to meet any surge and sustainment requirements identified in this solicitation when determining the offer that represents the best value to the Government. See DLAD Procurement Note - M07 Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Evaluation.

(2) When return, correction, or replacement is required, transportation charges and responsibility for the supplies while in transit shall be borne by the Contractor. However, the Contractor's liability for the transportation charges shall not exceed an amount equal to the cost of transportation by the usual commercial method of shipment between the place of delivery specified in this contract and the Contractor's plant, and return.

(3) Any supplies or parts thereof, corrected or furnished in replacement under this clause, shall also be subject to the terms of this clause to the same extent as supplies initially delivered. The warranty, with respect to supplies or parts thereof, shall be equal in duration to that in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause and shall run from the date of delivery of the corrected or replaced supplies.

(4) All implied warranties of merchantability and “fitness for a particular purpose” are excluded from any obligation contained in this contract.

(ii) Retain such supplies and reduce the contract price by an amount equitable under the circumstances.

(3)(i) If the contract provides for inspection of supplies by sampling procedures, conformance of supplies or components subject to warranty action shall be determined by the applicable sampling procedures in the contract. The Contracting Officer.

(A) May, for sampling purposes, group any supplies delivered under this contract;

(B) Shall require the size of the sample to be that required by sampling procedures specified in the contract for the quantity of supplies on which warranty action is proposed;

(C) May project warranty sampling results over supplies in the same shipment or other supplies contained in other shipments even though all of such supplies are not present at the point of reinspection; provided, that the supplies remaining are reasonably representative of the quantity on which warranty action is proposed; and

(D) Need not use the same lot size as on original inspection or reconstitute the original inspection lots.

(ii) Within a reasonable time after notice of any breach of the warranties specified in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, the Contracting Officer may exercise one or more of the following options:

The contractor shall prepare the shipping container(s) by marking the external packages in bold letters, “Product Verification Test Samples - Do Not Post to Stock," Contract Number [ ] and Lot/Item Number [ ]” adjacent to the MIL-STD-129 (latest revision) identification markings.

If the Government does not return approved samples that pass testing to the contractor, the Government will consider those samples as part of the contract quantity for payment and delivery.

(5) If samples fail testing, the Government may reject the entire contract lot from which the contractor took the samples. The Government may, at its discretion, retain samples that fail testing without obligation to the contractor.
