5. This solicitation is being issued under the First Destination Transportation (FDT) program to reduce cost of transportation through the use of Government-Arranged Transportation utilizing Government contracts and rates. If this acquisition is for Foreign Military Sales (FMS) FDT will not apply. For FDT program transportation requirements, see Procurement Note C15 – First Destination Transportation (FDT) Program, Government Arranged Transportation for Automated Awards, Procurement Note C17 - FDT Program-Shipments Originating from Outside the Contiguous United States and C20 - Vendor Shipment Module (VSM).

c.Required actions:

• Review VSM announcements. Schema updates are in the April 23, 2025 post: https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/notices/ msgdspl.aspx?msgid=1259

• Additional notices: https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/notices/msgdspl.aspx?msgid=1267 https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ notices/msgdspl.aspx?msgid=1252 https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/notices/msgdspl.aspx?msgid=1229

c. Offerors are encouraged to submit price break information with their quotes. Solicitations which are manually evaluated and awarded at increased quantities may be awarded based on the price break information submitted with the offeror's original quotation without further solicitation or discussion.

d. If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date, please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote.

The submission of an anticipated quote date does not preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.

The Offeror, by submission of its quotation, represents it will not provide covered telecommunications equipment or services to the Government in the performance of any award resulting from this solicitation, in accordance with paragraph (c) of the clause at FAR 52.204-24, Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment.

It is vitally important that vendors provide correct company official name(s) and contact information in all correspondence. DLA will work diligently on validating vendor requests. Vendors will be notified within 3 business days of when their requests were approved.

However, DLA cannot guarantee that it can complete all validation requests by the due date for any solicitation responses.

•To be eligible for award, offerors, and any sources of supply proposed for use, are required to have an approved JCP certification and have been approved by the DLA controlling authority to access export-controlled data managed by DLA.

E08 FIRST ARTICLE TESTING REQUIREMENTS (MAR 2025)

(1) If there is not a separate contract line item number (CLIN) for FAT, the offeror shall include all costs and risk associated with completion of the FAT requirement in the production CLIN price.

(2) If there is a separate FAT CLIN, the offeror shall include all costs and risk associated with completion of the FAT requirement in the FAT CLIN price.

The unit of issue for the FAT CLIN, EACH, is equal to one First Article Test (1EA=1FAT). To receive payment for any costs associated with FAT, the offeror shall propose costs associated with FAT on a separate CLIN. The offeror shall base the production CLIN price solely on all costs associated with completion of the production units and shall exclude all FAT-related costs.

(3) The contracting officer will use the total award price in selecting the best value offer from among all eligible offerors. However, for an offeror to be eligible for award, the contracting officer must determine that the FAT CLIN price (unless FAT is waived) and the production CLIN price are fair and reasonable; and, if set-aside under FAR Part 19, a fair market price. The offeror shall not propose a FAT CLIN price that is materially unbalanced in relation to the production CLIN price. In the event an offeror receives a waiver of the FAT requirement, the contracting officer will deduct the FAT CLIN price for the waived source in determining the total award price.

(4)(a) Notwithstanding the conditions for waiving first article, the contracting officer may order an additional first article sample, or portion thereof, in writing if there is a --

(ii) Lapse in production for a period in excess of 90 days; or

(iii) Change in the place of performance (manufacturing facility), manufacturing process,material used, drawing, specification or source of supply.

(b) When conditions in paragraphs (4)(a)(i), (ii), or (iii) occur, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer; who will determine whether to order an additional first article sample or portion thereof and provide instructions concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results. The contractor shall bear the costs of the additional first article testing resulting from any of the causes in paragraphs (4)(a)(i)-(iii) instituted by the contractor and not due to changes directed by the Government.

(5) Waivers. The offeror may submit a request for FAT waiver to the contracting officer, who may waive the FAT requirement when all of the following criteria apply:

(i) Contract number(s), date(s), and issuing Government agency or agencies.

(ii) Description of item previously furnished, identified by part number, type, model number and/or other identifying information. If the item previously furnished is similar but not identical to the item being acquired under the current buy, the offeror shall explain why manufacture of the item previously furnished is sufficient to demonstrate its ability to manufacture the item being acquired under the current buy without need for a first article test.

(iii) Engineering control document/change number of item previously furnished.

(b) There have been no changes to manufacturing processes, tooling, or place of performance.

(c) There have been no changes to manufacturing data (e.g., drawing revisions that change materials, dimensions, processes, inspection or testing requirements; or subcontractors used to manufacture the items successfully in the past).

(d) The offeror shall supply an item of the same design and manufactured by the same method at the same facilities as the item or similar item previously furnished and accepted under subparagraph (5)(a).

(6) Contractor-Performed FAT.
