PART I – SF 1449 CONTINUED IMPORTANT NOTICES TO OFFERORS

1. This solicitation is for the delivery of liquid helium in DEWARS, Type II, Grade A, both BLM and non-BLM, on an f.o.b. destination basis into Contractor-owned DEWARS. The Government may award multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ)-Type contracts for the liquid helium and ancillary services specified in the schedule. The Period of Performance is TWO YEARS, that is, 1 Jan 2014 – 31 Dec 2015.

2. Helium purchases under product CLINs 0001 through 0032 of this solicitation are subject to the Helium Act and as such, FAR Clause 52.208-8 REQUIRED SOURCES FOR HELIUM AND HELIUM USAGE DATA (APR 2002) applies.

Only Federal helium suppliers as designated by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) will be eligible for a contract award for CLINs 0001-0032.

3. The resultant contract(s) will contain an Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause. For BLM (In-Kind) requirements, the EPA escalator is mandated by the BLM pursuant to the Helium Privatization Act. All BLM Gaseous Helium product CLINs (0001 through 0032) will be adjusted using the BLM index (In-Kind rate). For CLINs 0033 through 0064, the non-BLM requirements, the BLM (Conservation Helium) rate will be utilized. The

EPA

mechanism will not be applicable to any CLINS for services.

4. Except for the annual BLM adjustments, the awarded prices for product will remain firm for the length of the contract, two years. Any recovery costs associated with moving crude helium to the refining plant and moving the refined helium to the transfill locations for filling or any other production costs must be included in the unit price. All prices proposed for the BLM product CLINs (0001 through 0032) shall be based on the BLM FY 2014 (Oct 2013 – Sep 2014) Crude Helium Price of $69.00 per MC (In-Kind) and the Non-BLM product CLINS (0033 - 0064) shall be based on the Crude Helium Price of $84.00 per MC (Conservation Helium) for FY 2013 (Oct 2012 – Sep 2013). Both are considered to be the base reference prices for this procurement. When constructing the yearly pricing proposal, offerors should begin with the base reference prices and add to it any other variable and fixed costs, including profit. If the Conservation Helium price for FY 2014 becomes available before Final Price Revisions (FPRs) are due, an amendment will be issued to this solicitation in order to incorporate the new index prior to submission of FPRs.

5. ALL OFFERORS MUST COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS LISTED IN INSTRUCTION L-0003 L2.35 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND CONTENT (AEROSPACE ENERGY) (DLA ENERGY JAN 2012) AND ALL OFFERS WILL BE EVALUATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH

INSTRUCTION M-0001 M2.14 EVALUATION - COMMERCIAL ITEMS (AUG 2009).

6. For questions regarding Small Business or Small Disadvantaged Business affairs, offerors are directed to Mr. Greg Thevenin of the DLA Energy Small Business Office at 1-800-523-2601 or 703-767-9465.

7. 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.

8. As a result of ongoing automation efforts within the Defense Logistics Agency, DLA Energy's clause numbering process has been revised. FAR, DFARs, and DLAD clauses will no longer have unique DLA Energy clause numbers. Rather, they will be identified by the applicable cite in the regulation where the clause can otherwise be found. As an example, DLA Energy's internal clause B1.09-2 will now be labeled B-0001 B1.09-2.

Also, the FAR clause 52.212-5, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS REQUIRED TO IMPLEMENT STATUTES OR EXECUTVE ORDERS- COMMERCIAL ITEMS, is no longer identified as DLA Energy Clause I1.04, but simply as 52.212-5, its FAR cite. If you have any questions about DLA Energy's new clause numbering process, please contact Keith Harvey at (210)925-1966.

10. As prescribed by Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD), Provision 52.215-9023 (REVERSE AUCTION) has been included in this competitive acquisition since the estimated value is in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold. This provision provides that the Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to obtain FPRs, the Contracting Officer will notify offerors of this decision. Please familiarize yourself with these mandatory provisions.

SPE601-14-R-0302 may utilize Procurex’s web-based reverse auctioning tool found at https://dla.procurexinc.com to conduct price negotiations. Note that the use of this reverse auction pricing tool requires no additional fee to you. If the Contracting Officer elects to utilize the reverse auction process, an email invitation will be sent to you. The email invitation will direct you to the Procurex webpage to create a password and complete your registration. For access assistance contact Procurex at 1-866-412-7161.

By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, you are agreeing to participate in the reverse auction and your prices may be disclosed during the reverse auction. This disclosure is anonymous. Your final auction price at the close of the auction will be considered your final proposal revision. While the Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions, this technique is not a source selection decision and the results of the auction shall not be considered an award determination. The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the solicitation. If you object to the Reverse Auction and would otherwise respond to this solicitation, please contact this office either via telephone or email. Keith Harvey, Contracting Officer may be reached at telephone number 210-925-1966 or email address keith.m.harvey@dla.mil for this purpose.
