Block 14 cont’d

The purpose of this amendment is to:

1. Add the following note to FAR 52.216-9069 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT - PUBLISHED MARKET PRICE - DLA ENERGY DOMESTIC BULK (NOV 2011), which explains how DLA Energy uses and calculates evaluation factors:

DLA-Energy chooses a "default" or "recommended" escalator for each product based on which published price we believe will most accurately reflect price movements for that product in the specified location. Uncommon escalators are any other escalators being proposed as the basis for economic price adjustments besides the "default" escalator. Offers based on uncommon escalators receive adjustment factors in order to account for the difference in volatility between the uncommon escalator and the default escalator. Applying the adjustment factor to uncommon escalators allow DLA Energy to evaluate offers based on the relationship the uncommon escalator and the default escalator for a 12 month period, as opposed to the difference between the escalators on a single day (the base reference date). The problem with only comparing escalators on a single date is there may be something causing a market abnormality on that date, and using a full 12 month average for the comparison allows us to see the "normal" relationship between the two escalators. The adjustment factor is calculated by finding the difference between each price on the Base Reference Date and that price's 12 month average. Then, the difference between the uncommon escalator's BRP and 12 month average is subtracted from the difference between the "default" escalator's BRP and 12 month average to find the adjustment factor for the uncommon escalator. That value is then applied to the offer price of the offer using the uncommon escalator. Offers based on "preferred" or "default" escalators do not receive an adjustment factor.

FAR 52.216-9069 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT-PUBLISHED MARKET PRICE - DLA ENERGY DOMESTIC BULK (NOV 2011) is deleted and replaced. See Attachment 1.

2. Section M has been updated as follows:

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

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

(a) The Government will award one or more contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose offer(s) 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/cost, Section B

2. Description/specifications/statement of work, Section C

3. Inspection and acceptance, Section E

4. Deliveries or performance, Section F

5. Section 526 Compliance for Biofuels

Subfactors 1 – 5 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, delivery/transportation requirements in Section F and, as applicable, Section 526 compliance requirements for biofuel.

PAGE 2 OF 7 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

SPE60016R0714-0010

UNACCEPTABLE: The offeror’s proposal does not conform to any one or more of the following requirements: the Government’s supply and schedule requirements in Section B, product specifications in Section C, product quality assurance in Section E, delivery/transportation requirements in Section F and, as applicable, Section 526 compliance requirements for biofuel.

Proposals may be comprised of individual, independent offers, differentiated by product grade, 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 amendment. 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).

Offerors must provide 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. Offerors are advised that DLA Energy intends to execute the extension provision of any subsequent contract only if there are remaining quantities left on the contract; no quantities will be added. The extension provision will only extend the ordering and delivery period of the contract. In addition, the extension provisions contained in contract provision I209.09 EXTENSION PROVISIONS (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012) will be evaluated in conjunction with the evaluation of initial offers received.

The lowest price is defined as the lowest laid-down price, to include transportation costs as determined by the Bid Evaluation Model (BEM), which will provide the basis to make awards. The BEM is a computer evaluation model which analyzes numerous variables. These variables include the offeror’s proposed prices, fuel types, minimum and maximum award quantities, shipping locations, shipment mode capabilities, minimum and maximum cargo sizes, customer receipt locations, and receipt mode capabilities. Transportation rates will be included for tanker, barge, pipeline, railcar, and tank truck transportation modes in accordance with M41.04 EVALUATION OF OFFERS INVOLVING OTHER THAN F.O.B. TANKER (BULK) (DLA ENERGY JUL 2010) and M24.01 EVALUATION OF OFFERS INVOLVING F.O.B. TANKER LOADING FOR THE INLAND/EAST COAST/GULF/OFFSHORE PURCHASE PROGRAM (DLA ENERGY SEP 2010). Government additive costs will be used to evaluate, where applicable, proposals of product not fully additized at the loading facility, but instead are additized/injected en route to a facility or customer location. The BEM will calculate the overall pattern of delivery of fuel from contractor facilities to specific customer locations that represents the lowest total combination of price for product, transportation and other costs.

Offers will be submitted through the Offer Entry Tool (OET). There are two types of OET instances or “rounds” that are available for use during the solicitation process – the “Standard” round and the “Reverse Auction” (RA) round. A standard round is used for all offer inputs from initial offers on the solicitation through Final Proposal Revisions (FPR). In a standard OET round, the vendor can change most data fields in

PAGE 3 OF 7 PAGESCONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED:

their offer, including adding and removing shipping locations, adding or removing origin and destination bid lines, quantities, prices, and offer conditions.

After the solicitation has been posted to the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website, it will be posted to the OET as the initial standard round. Please note that there can be multiple standard rounds. All initial offers must be submitted via this OET standard round no later than the date and time specified for the receipt of initial offers. Only those offers who have submitted an initial offer by the date and time specified will be eligible to submit data in later OET rounds.

DLA Energy will request offeror submission of Interim Proposal Revisions (IPRs) before the conclusion of negotiations. IPRs will be submitted through the OET and considered a standard round. The information in the OET will be evaluated in the BEM. Each offeror will be provided with a “Minimum Cost Bid Evaluation Worksheet” (MCBEW). The MCBEW will provide detailed information on how an offer is evaluated to each demand location. This report includes product price, method of delivery for each leg of the route, transportation and additive costs, any applicable evaluation factors, and the evaluated laid in price for each location. This information will be generated separately for each offeror, and each offeror will receive only the information applicable to their offer.

Offerors will be given time to review the MCBEW, after which DLA Energy will close negotiations and call for Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs). FPRs will be submitted through the OET and considered a standard round.

FPRs will be evaluated in the BEM. If an offeror chooses not to revise its offer during the FPR standard round, then unless the offer is withdrawn, the offeror must still re-submit its previously entered OET information to be evaluated as a final offer in the BEM for possible award. The Government reserves the right either to make awards based on the FPR BEM evaluation, or to conduct one or more additional standard or RA rounds in OET.

At the start of each RA round, offerors will be provided with an updated copy of the MCBEW. At this time, offerors will also be provided with a “Laid-Down Cost Report” (LCR). The LCR will provide information on the price currently in line for award at each demand location. This report is limited to providing the solicitation line item, location, quantity currently in line for award, and the laid in price for the quantity currently in line for award. The laid in price is an aggregate of product, additive and transportation costs, as well as any evaluation factor(s). No information concerning apparently successful offer, shipping point, or product routing is included.

In contrast to a standard round, in an RA round an offeror is only allowed to lower their offered price, and may not make revisions to any other OET fields. All other OET fields, including product type, shipping location, quantity, conditions, etc., will be locked during an RA round. During an RA round, the offeror is responsible for ensuring that the “offered price” field for each submitted offer line contains the offer price they wish to have evaluated. The price in the “offered price” field can be equal to or lower than the previously offered price (shown in the field directly to the left of the offer price field in OET). As with the standard rounds, offerors are responsible for submitting revisions before the stated closing date and time for the RA round. Revisions received after the stated closing date and time will not be considered, and, unless withdrawn, the offer will be evaluated using the final offered price that was submitted prior to the stated closing date and time.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
