IMPORTANT NOTICE TO OFFERORS

1. This solicitation is for the delivery of gaseous helium, Type I, Grade A, both BLM and non-BLM, on an f.o.b. origin basis into Government-owned or leased compressed gas tube-bank trailers and Government-owned or leased International Organization for Standardization (ISO) containers, as well as High Pressure Cylinder Assemblies (HPCA). The Government may award multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinte Quantity (ID/IQ) Type contracts for the bulk helium and ancillary services specified in the schedule. The period of performance is October 1, 2012 through March 31, 2015.

2. Helium purchases under product CLINS 0001 through 0006 of this solicitation are subject to the Helium Act and as such, the requirement is stated as BLM. However, offerors are encouraged to propose non-BLM helium since if BLM is not available for all or part of the quantity, the Government will evaluate and award a contract(s) for non-BLM helium supplies instead. As such, offerors are encouraged to propose both BLM as well as non-BLM quantities. If the contract(s) are awarded for BLM Helium, FAR Clause 52.208-8 REQUIRED SOURCES FOR HELIUM AND HELIUM USAGE DATA (APR 2002) applies.

3. Offerors are advised that awards will be made based on the evaluated price of each CLIN for product to be delivered f.o.b. orign based on multiplication of the estimated quantity by the proposed unit price of the product. To each CLIN, the Government will add as "other price-related factor" the Government's estimated costs for transporting the product from the nearest military aerial or seaport location as stated in the offeror's proposal. This process will identify the lowest laid-down price to DLA Energy customer locations in Afghanistan.

4. Notwithstanding paragraph 2. above and as allowed by FAR Part 8.5, if BLM helium is not available, that is, if DLA Energy doesn’t receive any offers for the BLM CLINs 0001-0003 or if offers are received for less than the full BLM quantities stated in CLINs 0001-0003, the Contracting Officer will evaluate and award the requirements as offered in non-BLM helium CLINs 0004 through 0006.

5. The resultant contract(s) will contain an Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause. For BLM requirements, the EPA escalator is mandated by the BLM pursuant to the Helium Privatization Act. All BLM Gaseous Helium product CLINs (0001 through 0003) will be adjusted using the BLM index (In-Kind rate). For non-BLM requirements, the BLM “Open Market” rate will be utilized. The EPA mechanism will not be applicable to any CLINS for services.

6. ALL OFFERORS MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN INSTRUCTION L-0003 L2.35 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND CONTENT (AEROSPACE ENERGY) (DLA ENERGY AUG 2009) AND ALL OFFERS WILL BE EVALUATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

INSTRUCTION M-0001 M2.14 EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (DLA ENERGY AUG 009)

7. Questions regarding Small Business or Small Disadvantage Business affairs should be addressed to Mr. Greg Thevenin of the DLA Energy Small Business Office at 1-800-526-2601 or 703-767-9400.

8. The Contracting Officer may request that the DLA Energy Region Quality Assurance Representative (QAR perform a Preaward Survey (PAS) in accordance with FAR Part 9.106-1. If requested, the offeror and its employees, including those at the fill point and/or production facility, shall be required to participate fully in the PAS process. The DLA Energy Contracting Officer will discuss any recommendation by the QAR as a result of the PAS that is other than "Full Award," with the offeror during negotiations. This will allow the offeror an opportunity to respond or otherwise provide information in its Final Proposal Revision as to how the offeror intends to correct the issue(s) and/or QAR concern(s) that led to an other than "Full Award" recommendation.

9. The clauses/provisions shown throughout this solicitation and any resultant contract(s) that have only the clause/provision number, title, and date, that is, are not shown in full text, are hereby considered to be incorporated by reference in accordance with FAR 52.252-1 SOLICITATION PROVISIONS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE or

FAR 52.252-7 CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE.
