52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (BULK) (TAILORED) (DLA

ENERGY) (JUN 2013)

(a) NORTH AMERICAN INDUSTRY CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM (NAICS) CODE AND SMALL BUSINESS SIZE STANDARD. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees. Per Small Business Administration(SBA) for NAICS code 324110, “To qualify as small for purposes of Government procurement, the petroleum refiner, including its affiliates, must be a concern that has either no more than 1,500 employees or no more than 200,000 barrels per calendar day total Operable Atmospheric Crude Oil Distillation capacity.”

(b) SUBMISSION OF OFFERS. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt;

(3) The name, address, and telephone, and facsimile number of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) “Remit to” address, if different from mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications in the certification package. See FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically;

(9) Acknowledgment of solicitation amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation.

Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or that reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(12) All price, quantity, delivery, and transportation terms as specified in the Offeror Submission Package.

(c) 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, and delivery requirements in Section F. 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. The offeror must demonstrate its understanding of the quality assurance requirements in E1 and/or E1.21 of the solicitation and provide evidence of an acceptable inspection system via the submission and acceptance of the supporting documentation required under Section E of the Offeror Submission Package (OSP).

(d) FACSIMILE OFFERS Yes (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.

(f) 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.

(g) LATE SUBMISSIONS, MODIFICATIONS, REVISIONS, AND WITHDRAWALS

OF OFFERS.

(1) 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) (i) 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--

(A) 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

(B) 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

(C) If this solicitation is a request for offers, it was the only offer received.

(ii) 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.

(3) 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.

(4) 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 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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(h) CONTRACT AWARD.

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.

(i) 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.

*Reference below to Amendment 0001 Note #8

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, which are equal in importance, 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

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.

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, and delivery/transportation requirements in Section F.

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).

All offerors will have the opportunity to make revisions to submitted proposals during negotiations and to submit a final proposal revision unless the offeror should choose to withdraw before the time final proposal revisions are required.

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 M24.02 EVALUATION OF OFFERS INVOLVING F.O.B. TANKER

LOADING FOR THE ROCKY MOUNTAIN/WEST COAST/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 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.
