Amendment 0005

This Amendment is issued to update SECTION B-Additional Special Notes and FAR 52.212-2 -- EVALUATION -- COMMERCIAL ITEMS (Oct 2014):

Highlighted paragraphs 3 in Additional Special Notes and Evaluation Criteria Sub factor 1-Supply are updated to remove references to REFINERY supply letter of commitments. Offerors are not required at the time of offer to obtain a letter of commitment from the refinery. All awardees are required to obtain REFINERY letters of commitments 30 days after contract award. Paragraph 4 in Additional Special Notes updated wording for COQ/COA submission. All other letters of commitment are still required.

1) ADDITIONAL SPECIAL NOTES REGARDING ALL PRODUCTS IN THIS SOLICITATION:

1. Source, in this contract, as determined for government acceptance, is defined as the location of the storage tank(s) from which the product(s) will be loaded into trucks and directly delivered to the customer’s destination as stated in the schedule of this contract.

a. Acceptance storage tanks should be within the borders of the country for which the major requirements are located.

However, delivery from an identified, outside of the country, storage location to end user locations can be used and acceptable as long as this delivery route is listed on the vendor’s supply chain map/plan and the proper certificates of quality or analysis are presented to the region Quality Manager or QAR for acceptance in accordance with below guidance.

b. Offeror will need to inform the contracting officer of the location in which the products will be stored and sampled, for acceptance purposes, along with the distance the storage location is from the delivery locations.

c. Offeror will also inform the contracting officer of their commercial laboratory which will be used to perform acceptance testing prior to acceptance by the government.

i. All commercial laboratories to be used for acceptance testing must be approved by the U.S. Government.

ii. The Government will be provided, for evaluation and acceptance, the name of the laboratory to be used, the expected capabilities of that lab (full specification, etc.) for each product, a good point of contact name, phone number, laboratory location address, and email address.

iii. Samples of their certificates of analysis (redacted) will be provided to the government for evaluation. Certificate of analysis (See sample attachment 6) should reflect the same information as that listed in section 4 below.

iv. Offeror can expect a quality visit to their proposed laboratory if the laboratory has not already been vetted and accepted by the Government in the past.

v. If the offeror possesses their own laboratory, it can perform full specification testing in accordance with the specification requirements and want to use that lab for this contract and acceptance purposes, the lab will have to be vetted and approved by use, by the U.S. Government, prior to the beginning of the performance period.

vi. The use of a third party inspection contractor may be used to assist DLA Energy Quality in witnessing andverification of laboratory testing and equipment calibrations/standardizations for contractor owned laboratories.

1. Contract awardee(s) that plan on using their own laboratories will allow entry to any DLA Energy, third party inspection contractors, just like they would any DLA Energy QAR or representative stated in contract provision(s) FAR 52.246.2 and E21.01.

2. Failure to do so will result in the awardee(s) to have to use an outside, commercial lab for all of their “acceptance” testing.

2. The Offeror will provide the Fuel Source Data Sheet will be used to show all of the refineries or terminal sources where the offeror is sourcing the fuel to be provided to the U.S. Government.

a. This requires not only the refineries or terminal sources but the contractor’s “acceptance” storage tanks as well.

In order for the offeror to demonstrate that they possess the technical capability to provide the fuel (all products in the schedule) which meets the required specification(s), the offeror, must present either a current, full specification Refinery Certificate of Quality (COQ) or a recertification certificate of analysis (COA). All COQ/COAs should be presented in a format which resembles that of the one listed in ASTM D1655, figure X3.2 or the commercial laboratory sample provided. These certificates will be on refinery or commercial laboratory letterhead and signed and dated like the certificates of analysis listed below. Offeror must provide supply letter of commitments 30 days from time of award.

a. Certificates of Analysis will contain the source information (location, tank number, lot or batch number, etc.), specification tested to, along with the test methods used for testing.

b. To be acceptable for evaluation, the certificate of analysis (COA)/batch certificate will also be signed and stamped by the laboratory manager and be within 90 days of submission from a batch out of the terminal storage tank(s) or refinery batch tank(s) to be used for actual supply. Laboratory Manager signature cannot be more than 90 days old at date of submission for review.

FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

PAST PERFORMANCE:

Offerors are instructed to submit three (3) Past Performance Questionnaires that may include the performance still in progress, however, it should have a minimum of one (1) year of performance history and be no more than three (3) years old from the closing date of this solicitation. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s submitted past performance to include questionnaires from (3) current or previous contracts for relevancy and quality based on how well the contractor performed on projects of similar dollar value, scope, and complexity. Offerors are advised that the Government may use past performance information obtained from centralized past performance databases and sources other than those identified by the offeror.

Recency and Relevancy are evaluated as part of the Acceptable/Unacceptable ratings. Recent past performance is defined as past performance on contracts performed within the past three years. The evaluation will determine the degree to which a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is relevant to the effort to be acquired through this acquisition. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration shall be given to those aspects of an offeror’s contract history that would give the greatest ability to measure whether the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. This relevancy assessment shall measure the extent of similarity between the service effort, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and subcontract/teaming arrangements, and a measure of the likelihood that the past performance is an indicator of future performance. Relevancy is defined below:

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings

RATING DEFINITION

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Upon determining recency, relevancy, and how well the offeror performed, past performance will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as follows:

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

A record of poor performance may be considered an indication that the offeror has failed to conform to contract requirements and/or to standards of good workmanship; adhere to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; provide reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and/or display a business-like concern for the interests of the customer.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have Unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, an offeror with Unknown past performance shall be considered “Acceptable”.

Evaluation for Joint Ventures and Teaming Arrangements will be performed by evaluating the performance of each partner in accordance with the procedures outlined above. The ratings for each partner will be combined and the Joint Venture or Teaming Arrangement will receive one rating. As a Joint Venture, each partner’s experience and past performance may be evaluated and weighted against their respective roles identified in the Joint Venture agreement.

This evaluation may be combined for a final past performance rating.

This factor will be evaluated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. Only proposals with an acceptable rating will be considered for award. An offeror receiving a rating of Unacceptable in this factor is ineligible for award.

Note: The Government may conduct a pre-award survey of the Offeror’s resources to verify technical capability and to assist with the Responsibility Determination as defined in FAR 9.104-1.

(b) 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.
