DISPOSITION OF FAT UNITS IAW PARAGRAPH (e) OF FAR 52.209-3 OR 52.209-4. Procurement Note M04: Evaluation Factor for Government Testing of First Articles (MAY 2020) THE COST TO THE GOVERNMENT FOR FIRST ARTICLE TESTING SHALL BE A FACTOR IN EVALUATING OFFERS. THE GOVERNMENT’S TESTING COST WILL BE ADDED TO THE OFFERED PRICE OF THE APPLICABLE ITEM. UNLESS CITED ELSEWHERE IN THE SOLICITATION, THE TESTING COST IS SHOWN BELOW: $ 3050.00 . Due to the volatility of demands, and frequent quantity changes on open purchase requests, offerors are highly encouraged to submit quantity ranges when quoting. If a PR is evaluated manually, quoting ranges provides the buyer the option to combine requirements or reduce the quantity as needed without resoliciting or adding any additional administrative burden for either party involved when making an award. This does not apply to Auto IDC.

If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date, please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote. This does not prevent you from submitting an actual quote on DIBBS at a later date. It will overlay your previous no quote. This informs buyers of your intention to quote and prevents multiple calls for updates and cancelling of requirements assumed to be non-procurable due to no quotes/sources. The submission of an anticipated quote date does not preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.

(1) If there is not a separate contract line item number (CLIN) for FAT, the offeror shall include all costs and risk associated with completion of the FAT requirement in the production CLIN price.

(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 --

(ii) Lapse in production for a period in excess of 90 days; or

(iii) Change in the place of performance (manufacturing facility), manufacturing process,material used, drawing, specification or source of supply.

(b) When conditions in paragraphs (4)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) occur, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer; who will determine whether to order an additional first article sample or portion thereof and provide instructions concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results. The contractor shall bear the costs of the additional first article testing resulting from any of the causes in paragraphs (4)(a)(i)-(iii) instituted by the contractor and not due to changes directed by the Government.

(5) Waivers. The offeror may submit a request for FAT waiver to the contracting officer, who may waive the FAT requirement when all of the following criteria apply:

(a) The offeror requesting waiver has successfully manufactured, delivered and the government accepted the item or a similar item. The offeror shall provide the following information and be prepared to provide documentary evidence upon the contracting officer's request:

(i) Contract number(s), date(s), and issuing Government agency or agencies.

(ii) Description of item previously furnished, identified by part number, type, model number and/or other identifying information. If the item previously furnished is similar but not identical to the item being acquired under the current buy, the offeror shall explain why manufacture of the item previously furnished is sufficient to demonstrate its ability to manufacture the item being acquired under the current buy without need for a first article test.

(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).

(d) The offeror shall supply an item of the same design and manufactured by the same method at the same facilities as the item or similar item previously furnished and accepted under subparagraph (5)(a).
