DLAD 52.215-9023 – REVERSE AUCTION (OCT 2013)

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on the basis of initial offers or following discussions not using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify Offerors of this decision and the following provisions will apply:

(a) The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the

PAGE 2 OF 9 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

SPE60016R0712-0001

solicitation. The reverse on-line auction will be used as a pricing technique during discussions to establish the final offered prices from each Offeror. These prices will be used in conjunction with the evaluation factors stated elsewhere in the solicitation in order to make the award decision in accordance with the basis for award stated in the solicitation.

(b) Following the decision to conduct discussions using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative will provide Offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the auction process.

(c) Prior to conducting the reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may hold discussions with the Offerors concerning matters appropriate for discussion, such as issues involving technical proposals or unbalanced pricing.

(d) Unless auction instructions indicate that only Offeror’s rankings will be displayed, the lowest Offeror’s price(s) for each round of the reverse auction will be disclosed to other Offerors and anyone else having authorized access to the auction. This disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each Offeror’s identity will be concealed from other Offerors (although it will be known to the Government; only a generic identifier will be used for each Offeror’s proposed pricing, such as “Offeror A” or “lowest-priced Offeror”). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, Offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, including to other Offerors, during the reverse auction.

(e) An Offeror’s final auction price at the close of the reverse auction will be considered its final price proposal revision. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final price proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the Contracting Officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction.

(f) The following requirements apply when the Government uses a commercial web-based product to conduct the reverse auction:

(1) Each Offeror identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by Defense Logistic Agency’s commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the Offeror of the event and to provide an explanation of the process.

(2) In order for an Offeror to participate in the reverse auction, such Offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire solicitation, including this provision, and agree to the commercial reverse auction service provider’s terms and conditions for using its service. Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service provider’s terms and conditions is embedded within the email notification sent by the on-line reverse auction pricing tool system administrator.

(3) Offerors shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction service provider or the Government and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction. Offerors shall keep their own and other Offeror’s pricing in confidence until after contract award.

(4) The reverse auction system currently in use designates offers as "Lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "Not Lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the first offer of that price as "Lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "Not Lead." Offerors shall not submit a tie offer, since this is inconsistent with the purpose of the reverse auction. If a tie offer is submitted and no evaluation factors other than price were identified in the solicitation, the "Not Lead” Offeror that submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; otherwise its offer will be ineligible for award if their final price in the auction is the tie offer price. If evaluation factors in addition to price were listed in the solicitation, tie offers that are "Not Lead" will be considered and evaluated in accordance with those evaluation factors.

(5) Any Offerors unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider’s system during a reverse auction must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the Offeror’s inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the Offeror and outside the Offeror’s control.

(6) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website as embedded in the email notification. Offerors shall be responsible for providing their own computer and internet connection.

(7) Training:

(i) The commercial reverse auction service provider and/or a Government representative will provide

PAGE 3 OF 9 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

familiarization training to Offerors’ employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website, and/or other means.

(ii) An employee of an Offeror who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a “Trained Offeror.” Only Trained Offerors may participate in a reverse auction. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that Offerors provide an alternate Offeror employee to become a Trained Offeror. The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to take away the Trained Offeror’s designation from any Trained Offeror who fails to abide by the solicitation’s or commercial reverse auction service provider’s terms and conditions.

G. Section L has been updated as follows:

FAR 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (BULK) (TAILORED) (DLA ENERGY) (SEP 2015), is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show –

The solicitation number;

The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

PAGE 4 OF 9 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

All technically acceptable and responsible offerors will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014). A technically acceptable offer is one that meets the Government’s product requirements in Section B, specifications in Section C, quality assurance requirements in Section E, delivery requirements in Section F, and, as applicable, Section 526 compliance requirements for biofuel as incorporated by addendum to the solicitation. An offer that proposes an exception to one of the foregoing requirements will be reviewed to determine whether the fuel will meet the Government’s specification and delivery requirements, can physically be accepted, and not compromise fuel quality. If so, an offer containing the exception will also be technically acceptable.

FACSIMILE OFFERS Yes _X__ (FAR 52.215-5), Incorporated by reference. No ____

(e) PERIOD FOR ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

PRODUCT SAMPLES. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

MULTIPLE OFFERS. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, REVISIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS OF OFFERS.

Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the

PAGE 5 OF 9 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer. Withdrawls are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(i) CONTRACT AWARD (NOT APPLICABLE TO INVITATION FOR BIDS). The Government may evaluate offers and award a contract after conducting discussions with offerors whose offers have been determined to be within the competitive range. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of offers that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of offers in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated offers. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. While the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract after oral or written discussions with offerors, it reserves the right not to conduct discussions, as determined by the Contracting Officer.

(j) MULTIPLE AWARDS. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

H. Section M has been updated as follows:

FAR 52.212-2 – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

FAR 52.212-2 – EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY

The following subfactors will be used in determining technical acceptability:

SUBFACTOR

1. Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs, Section B

2. Description/Specifications/Statement of Work, Section C

PAGE 7 OF 9 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

3. Inspection and Acceptance, Section E

4. Deliveries or Performance, Section F Subfactors 1 -4 will be rated either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. These ratings are defined as follows:

ACCEPTABLE: The offeror's proposal conforms to the Government's supply and schedule requirements in Section B, product specifications in Section C, product quality assurance in Section E, and delivery/transportation requirements in Section F in the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE: The offeror's proposal does not conform to any one or more of the following requirements:

Government's supply and schedule requirements in Section B, product specifications in Section C, product quality assurance in Section E, and delivery/transportation requirements in Section F.

Proposals may be comprised of individual, independent offers, differentiated by shipping mode and/or FOB point. An individual offer within a proposal may be rated “Unacceptable”, while remaining offers within the same proposal may be rated “Acceptable”. A rating will be made for each individual offer within each proposal.

Each individual offer within a proposal must receive an “Acceptable” rating for every subfactor in order to be rated technically acceptable. If an individual offer within a proposal receives a rating of “Unacceptable” for one subfactor, it will be rated technically unacceptable. Therefore, some individual offers within a proposal may be considered technically acceptable while other individual offers within the same proposal may be considered technically unacceptable.

An offeror that proposes an exception to any of the requirements of the solicitation, as related to the aforementioned subfactors, will be reviewed to determine whether the fuel will meet the Government's specification and delivery requirements, can physically be accepted, and not compromise fuel quality. If so, an offer containing the exception will also be technically acceptable. Programmatic exceptions are addressed to all offerors via amendments. Likewise, a rating may be made “Acceptable” if an offeror corrects, or the Government accepts by reason of exception, any subfactors previously rated “Unacceptable” by the Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB).

The Contracting Team is responsible for addressing “Unacceptable” ratings, questions, clarifications, and/or comments posed by Technical Team members and relative to each offeror's proposal, during negotiations.

Offerors must additional written details to address all areas rated “Unacceptable” prior to the receipt of Final Proposal Revisions, which the Government will review for acceptance.

FACTOR 2: PRICE

Fixed Price with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) contracts will result from this solicitation. The Contract Team will evaluate proposals for pricing purposes in accordance with FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014). The Government will award a contract in a manner that will result in the lowest overall cost to the Government for the solicited items as a whole, in accordance with M10 EVALUATION – ALL OR NONE (DLA ENERGY MAR 2000 and M72 EVALUATION OF OFFERS (EXCEPTIONS/DEVIATIONS) (DLA ENERGY APR 1997).

A manual bid evaluation is conducted to determine which offeror receives an award for the single lift delivery of various quantities of the various fuels in the most advantageous overall award pattern. The lowest price is defined as the lowest laid-down price, to include transportation costs, and multiplied by the minimum award quantities. Government additive costs will be used to evaluate, where applicable. Offerors will then be given an opportunity to provide a further discount using the Reverse Auction (RA) Procurex tool (Ref. DLAD 52.212-9023). All offerors will be entered in the RA. No further action is required for offerors that choose not to offer a price discount during the RA. Any offeror that does participate will enter a discount price in the RA. The discount price will be offered by product and region, rather than specific line item. For example, a discount may be offered for all JP8 in the West Coast region. This discount will be offered from a notional price (e.g., $1.00), and not from an actual offer price. The Contracting Officer will establish an RA bid line for each product and region. Each bid line will have a notional price established. This notional price is the price against which vendors will offer their discounts. The minimum decrement for bids will be $0.00001. At

PAGE 8 OF 9 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

the conclusion of the RA, the lowest discount price offered by each vendor will be recorded. This discount will be applied to the price offered at time of FPRs. A mock RA will be held to allow all offerors to become familiar with the process before the actual RA is conducted.
