It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure that 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 the solicitation closes to allow for security processing and to secure an escort.

1. Items: The contract that results from this solicitation will cover a full line of MRO supplies in support of the maintenance, repair and operations requirements of installations in the EUCOM and AFRICOM Areas of Responsablity (AOR) as described herein. For purposes of the contract, the term EUCOM and AFRICOM AOR’s includes the following countries: See attachment 6

The Price Evaluation List of Items illustrates the types of supplies that have been provided to customers in the EUCOM and AFRICOM AORs and potentially will be required of the awardees. Offerors shall have the ability to supply the items identified on the Price Evaluation List. The items have been listed to show a sampling of the scope of material that the contractor may be required to furnish. The Price Evaluation List of Items is provided using a Microsoft Excel Spreadsheet. The Price Evaluation List (PEL) is included in each of the following attachments: attachment 1, attachment 2, attachment 3, and attachment 4.

2. Minimum & Maximum Dollar Values: The Government guarantees that it will order under each contract awarded under this solicitation a minimum quantity of supplies having a minimum dollar value

S P E 5 B 1 - 1 4 - R - 0 0 0 1 P a g e | 5 of $250,000.00 for the Base Period for each of the zones. In the event that an option is exercised, the guaranteed minimum dollar amount for each Option Period awarded for each of the zones shall be $187,500.00.

The aggregate of delivery orders issued during the Base Period for each contract will be applied to the minimum guarantee. At the time when the aggregate of delivery orders equals or exceeds the guaranteed minimum for a contract, the guaranteed minimum for that contract will have been met and the Government’s obligations with regard to the guarantee will have been satisfied.

b) The maximum ceiling across all four contracts awarded under this solicitation is $270,000,000.00, meaning that the cumulative obligations of all orders placed against all contracts resulting from this solicitation cannot exceed $270,000,000.

CAUTION NOTICE

• Estimated Dollar Value: The estimated annual sales set forth in the solicitation are GOOD FAITH

ESTIMATES ONLY based on the best data available to the contracting officer at the time of issuance of this solicitation. Offerors shall consider any business risks associated with the estimates and include them within the breadth of their proposals. In addition, offerors are cautioned that the extent of the program will depend on the requirements of the forces in the EUCOM and AFRICOM AOR’s with emphasis on the potential drawdown during the contract period.

The annual estimated value of this acquisition (all contracts awarded for the 2 year base and two 18-month option periods) is $9 million per year with a $270 million five year maximum contract value.

The $270 million maximun accounts for potential surge and contingency requirements in both areas of responsibility. The estimated annual value of $9 million breaks down by region and zone to:

$3.2 million for EUCOM Region, Zone 1; $2.3 million for EUCOM Region, Zone 2; $1.6 million for AFRICOM Region, Zone 1; and $1.9 million for AFRICOM Region, Zone 2. The $270 million maximum breaks down by region and zone to; $96 million for EUCOM Region, Zone 1; $69 million for EUCOM Region, Zone 2; $48 million for AFRICOM Region, Zone 1; and $57 million for AFRICOM Region, Zone 2. This figure was derived by a combination of current and projected requirements obtained through market research performed by DLA Troop Support Europe & Africa;

coupled with numerous requests from Navy Construction Regiment personnel for increased support on the African Continent, and from both Army as well as Air Force personnel requesting this type of program in Europe.

• Options: Each contract awarded will contain a provision for unilateral option(s) (FAR 52.217-9) on the part of the contracting officer to extend the term of the contract in periods of eighteen months.

Submission of an offer is considered assent to the inclusion of the option provision.

• Proposals: Offerors shall submit the following items for their proposal to be considered:

1. Non Price Proposal (Volume I) for each Zone on which an offer is being submitted

2. Pricing Proposal (Volume II) for each Zone on which an offer is being submitted

3. Other (Volume III)

• Signed copy of SF 1449

• Completed copies of FAR 52.212-3, and other required Certifications

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

• CAUTION - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS (FEB 2012)

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 within thirty days of award. 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)

If this solicitation or contract includes FAR clause 52.203-13 - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT; 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) When FAR 52.203-13 is included in the contract, contractors must provide a copy of its written code of business ethics and conduct to the contracting officer upon request by the contracting officer.

• DLA Troop Support Europe and Africa is a forward component of DLA Troop Support Philadelphia

(DLATSP) and is a combat support activity whose objective is to continue, and to expand, its use of unique and innovative approaches for providing focused logistics support for its military services facilities customers, as well as other authorized customers, for their maintenance, repair and operations (MRO) requirements.

• The preference for EUCOM and AFRICOM AOR’s countries (See Attachment #6 for list of Countries) products will apply to certain delivery orders at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and will be specified on the individual delivery order.

• Proposals are being solicited for Tailored Logistics Support Prime Vendor (TLS PV) Program of military installations, federal agencies, and other DOD authorized customers located within EUCOM and AFRICOM areas of responsability. DLA Troop Support Europe and Africa anticipates that participation in the program may be expanded to various additional ordering activities in the EUCOM and AFRICOM Region. However, expansion of the program will depend greatly on the successful management of its contract by the awardees.

• The Government is seeking proposals for tailored logistics packages that, to the maximum extent practicable, will employ the techniques, advantages and economies of commercial business practices to reduce the total logistics cost to DLA Troop Support Europe and Africa and its customers. Tailored logistics provide rapid response, direct vendor delivery, advanced distribution, material management, total asset/in-transit visibility, and information fusion, in response to, and in satisfaction of DLA Troop

S P E 5 B 1 - 1 4 - R - 0 0 0 1 P a g e | 7

Support Europe and Africa customers’ demands, including surge requirements. Therefore, to the maximum extent practicable, the contracts resulting from this solicitation will integrate the business practices of the commercial and military supply distribution systems.

• As part of the proposal, the offeror shall submit a plan on how the offeror would provide support for the customers in the EUCOM and AFRICOM AORs. Time frames for delivery within a country will be outlined in any resultant Request for quote issued to satisfy requirements submitted by program customers.

• As the MRO Program expands with respect to coverage, significant additions to the lists of items that may be required may occur. If items or product lines within scope are added to the contract resulting from this solicitation, the Contractor will be required to arrange for distribution of such items or product lines within 30 days of their addition to the contract. Each TLS contractor may be required to develop sources in European and African countries that have the ability to provide products with quality comparable to U.S. standards and deliver these where required within the required timeframe.

• The Government intends to award a single contract per zone, to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government, considering Non Price factors and price. Throughout this solicitation the term “contract” includes each of the contracts awarded by zone pursuant to the solicitation.

• Offerors are advised that the Berry Amendment and the Trade Agreements Act apply to this solicitation. Additionally, there are other procurement restrictions that may apply to certain specific products. Clauses implementing applicable restrictions may be separately incorporated into the contracts or individual orders under the contracts. Contractors shall be aware of which provision applies at the time that they submit their offer.

• Offerors may submit proposals for one or more Zones. A single TLS PV contract will be awarded for each Zone. Proposals for each Zone will be evaluated using Best Value Tradeoff source selection procedures with the non-price factors being significantly more important than price. As the non-price ratings of offers become more equivalent, price will become more important. The contracts will be awarded in the following order: EUCOM Region Zone 1 first, EUCOM Region Zone 2 second, AFRICOM Region Zone 2 third and AFRICOM Region Zone 1 fourth. The rational for awarding in the above mention order is based on historical sales acquired from market research and anticipated requirements. The offeror who is selected for award in Zone 1 from the EUCOM Region can compete for zones 1 & 2 in the AFRICOM Region but will be excluded from consideration from Zone 2 in the EUCOM region, and the offeror who is selected for award in Zone 2 from the AFRICOM Region can compete for zones 1 & 2 in the EUCOM Region but is excluded from consideration from Zone 1in the AFRICOM region. For example: The contract for Zone 1 will be awarded to that offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government considering non-price evaluation factors and price.

To ensure the continuous availability of reliable sources of supply, the offeror who is selected as the best value for Zone 1 of the EUCOM Region will be eliminated from competition on Zone 2 of the EUCOM Region but it will be able to compete for zones 1 and 2 of the AFRICOM Region. The contract for Zone 2 of the AFRICOM Region will be awarded to that offeror whose proposal is the most advantageous to the Government considering non-price evaluation factors and price. To ensure the continuous availability of reliable sources of supply, the offeror who is selected as the best value for Zone 2 of the AFRICOM will be eliminated from competition on Zone 2 of the AFRICOM Region but it will be able to compete for zones 1 and 2 of the EUCOM Region. In the event the Government does not receive more than one acceptable offer, the same vendor may be awarded more than one zone within a region.

• This solicitation contains DLAD 52.215-9023 for Reverse Auction (RA). If discussions are held, the

Government may conduct a Reverse Auction on the Distribution Ceiling Prices in the Distribution Matrix and the Management Fee Price in the Management Fee Matrix for each pricing period with those offers in the competitive range. The Contracting Officer will establish a competitive range and those firms removed from the competitive range shall be notified in writing prior to the RA. All offerors whose proposals are included in the competitive range shall be notified of the date and time of the Reverse Auction. If and when conducted, the RA represents the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) for the Distribution Ceiling Prices and Management Fee in accordance with DLAD 52.215-9023. The Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations for all elements of pricing. By submitting an offer, the offeror consents that the RA Vendor (DLA’s commercial RA service provider) may have access to its submitted data for the purpose of the RA. The RA Vendor shall have a confidentiality agreement in place.

• Offerors will provide four elements of pricing for the AFRICOM Region and three elements of pricing for the EUCOM Region.

EUCOM Region Offerors will provide the following elements of pricing: firm fixed Acquisition Ceiling Prices for PEL items for three pricing periods, firm fixed Distribution Ceiling Prices for 20 pricing tiers (Distribution Matrix) for three pricing periods, and a total acquisition price for an incidental service based on a scenario. Offerors must provide Acquisition Ceiling Prices for 100% of the items on the PEL. Offerors may be excluded from the competition for failure to do so. Offerors may offer alternate items. However, the offeror must provide a complete technical data package for the Alternate item being offered as well as the item on the Price Evaluation List for comparison purposes. If the item is deemed equal in form, fit, and function to the item on the Price Evaluation List, it will be accepted. Alternate items determined not to be acceptable will not count towards the 100% of PEL items required to be priced and will not be evaluated. The prices for the PEL and Acceptable Alternates will be Acquisition Ceiling Prices. They will be firm fixed per unit ceiling prices after contract award. The Acquisition Ceiling Price represents the maximum acquisition unit price the TLS PV can charge for an item on the PEL.

For the Distribution Matrix, Contractors will offer a firm fixed total Distribution Ceiling Price, offered as a dollar amount, for each of the twenty pricing tiers listed in the matrix. The tiers are specific dollar value ranges based on the Total Acquisition Price Per Order when the TLS PV submits the order. They will be used to assign a corresponding total Distribution Ceiling Price for the order. The Distribution Ceiling Price represents the total maximum distribution price the TLS PV can charge for an order within the range. The prices are fixed for each pricing period. There will be three pricing periods under the contract and they will be sequential: Base Period: Two Years; Option 1: Eighteen Months; and Option 2: Eighteen Months. The scenario price for the Incidental Service will be used for evaluation purposes.

AFRICOM Region Offerors will provide the following elements of pricing: firm fixed Acquisition Ceiling Prices for PEL items for three pricing periods, firm fixed Management Fee for 20 pricing tiers (Management Fee Matrix) for three pricing periods, a total acquisition price for an incidental service based on a scenario and a total acquisition price for transporation based on two

S P E 5 B 1 - 1 4 - R - 0 0 0 1 P a g e | 9 scenarios. Offerors must provide Acquisition Ceiling Prices for 100% of the items on the PEL.

Offerors may be excluded from the competition for failure to do so. Offerors may offer alternate items. However, the offeror must provide a complete technical data package for the Alternate item being offered as well as the item on the Price Evaluation List for comparison purposes. If the item is deemed equal in form, fit, and function to the item on the Price Evaluation List, it will be accepted. Alternate items determined not to be acceptable will not count towards the 100% of PEL items required to be priced and will not be evaluated. The prices for the PEL and Acceptable Alternates will be Acquisition Ceiling Prices. They will be firm fixed per unit ceiling prices after contract award. The Acquisition Ceiling Price represents the maximum acquisition unit price the TLS PV can charge for an item on the PEL.

For the Management Fee Matrix, Contractors will offer a firm fixed Management Fee Ceiling Price, offered as a dollar amount, for each of the twenty pricing tiers listed in the matrix. The tiers are specific dollar value ranges based on the Total Acquisition Price per Order when the TLS PV submits the order. They will be used to assign a corresponding Management Fee Ceiling Prices for the order. The Management Fee Ceiling Price represents the total maximum Management Fee the TLS PV can charge for an order within the range. The prices are fixed for each pricing period. There will be three pricing periods under the contract and they will be sequential: Base Period: Two Years; Option 1: Eighteen Months; and Option 2: Eighteen Months. The scenario prices for the Incidental Service and Transportation will be used for evaluation purposes.

• NOTICE TO POTENTIAL CONTRACTORS. MILITARY EXTRATERRITORIAL

JURISDICTION ACT OF 2000, Public Law 106-523.

The Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act of 2000 amended Title 18, US Code, to establish Federal jurisdiction over certain criminal offenses committed outside the United States by persons employed by or accompanying the Armed Forces outside the United States, and certain other persons.

The regulations implementing the Act define persons employed by the Armed Forces outside the United States as civilian employees of the Department of Defense, Department of Defense contractors (including subcontractors at any tier), and employees of a Department of Defense contractor (including subcontractors at any tier) when that person is present or resides outside the United States in connection with such employment and is not a national of or ordinarily resident in the host nation. Persons accompanying the Armed Forces include the dependents of these individuals. Command sponsorship of the dependent is not required for the Act to apply. Third country nationals may also be subject to the provisions of the Act depending on the circumstances.

The Act grants the United States criminal jurisdiction over persons covered by the act if they engage in conduct that would constitute an offense punishable by imprisonment for more than one year if the conduct had occurred within the territorial jurisdiction of the United States.

Its full text may be accessed electronically at https://www.acquisition.gov/far/index.html. Text is available for viewing in Subpart 52.2 Text of Provisions and Clauses, through either the HTML or PDF Format links.

Addendum to 52.212-4:

Delete paragraph (m) in its entirety and substitute the following:

(m) Termination for Cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law.
