6. Continuation of Blocks 19-24: Schedule of Supplies/Services
A. DLA Troop support intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Fire &
Emergency Services (F&ESE) Tailored Logistics Support (TLS) Contracts under this single solicitation. Delivery orders will be competed amongst the contract holders.
B. PRODUCT SUPPORT:
Each awardee will be responsible for supplying, to authorized customers under the resulting contracts, various types of fire & emergency services equipment. These items include, but are not limited to: hoses, hose fittings, nozzles, tools, fire extinguishers and other extinguishing agents, poles, ladders, rescue equipment, respiratory protective devices, regulators, uniforms, station training gear, turn out gear, first response and search and rescue supplies, decontamination equipment, detection equipment, protective clothing used for hazardous material (HAZMAT) and other emergency scenarios, communication equipment and tools, first responder equipment, training equipment, compressors, emergency egress and protective systems, pumps, generators, and storage, containment, and racking systems. All items are commercial products or modified commercial products which are identified by manufacturer's part number, or commercial item descriptions. All items are to conform to the manufacturer's commercial specifications.
C. PRICING:
1) Offerors will provide ceiling prices for the Price Evaluation List (PEL) and pricing for one incidental service scenario. The contractor must provide ceiling prices on a minimum of 90% of the 118 items on the PEL. The contractor MUST provide a price for the incidental service scenario. Offerors may offer alternate items. However, the offeror must provide a complete technical data package for the Alternate item being offered as well as the item on the PEL for comparison purposes. If the item is deemed equal in form, fit, and function to the item on the PEL, it will be accepted. Alternate items determined not to be acceptable will not count towards the 90% minimum of PEL items required to be priced and will not be evaluated. The scenario price for the Incidental Service will be used for evaluation purposes and may be used as a benchmark during the post-award competition of delivery orders when the service is requested. It is anticipated that each Tailored Logistics Support Contractor shall be as aggressive as possible in pursuing all discounts and rebates. TLS Contractors shall guarantee that DLA Troop Support and its customers will receive discounts and rebates equal to or better than the offerors most favored commercial customers with similar sales.
CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 6 OF 98 PAGES
SPE8EH-21-R-0001
Form (CONTINUED)
2) Base Period and Option Year Prices: The Prices for the PEL and alternates accepted by the Government will be used for evaluation purposes and will be awarded as firm fixed ceiling prices. The fixed prices will constitute a Not to exceed CEILING PRICE for the BASE PERIOD (two year term) and each OPTION PERIOD (four two-year terms) on any resultant contract for the Fire & Emergency Services Tailored Logistics Support Program.
Note: Contractors are encouraged, when competing for delivery orders, to provide a quote less than their ceiling price.
D. TERM
The contracts resulting from this solicitation will be IDIQ Contracts with base ordering periods of two
(2) years and four (4) two-year option periods for a maximum term of ten (10) years. Each contract awarded will contain a provision for unilateral option(s) on the part of the Contracting Officer to extend the term of the contract. A 60-day implementation period is included, if needed, after award.
E. ESTIMATED DEMAND
The estimated annual sales set forth in the solicitation are GOOD FAITH ESTIMATES ONLY based on the best data available to the Contracting Officer at the time of issuance of this solicitation, and do not constitute guarantees that this volume or value will actually be ordered. Offerors must consider any business risks associated with the estimates and include them within the breadth of their proposals.
Total Estimated Value (10 Years) $2,800,000,000.00 Estimated Value Base Year (2 Years) $560,000,000.00 Estimated Value Option Year 1 (2 Years) $560,000,000.00 Estimated Value Option Year 2 (2 Years) $560,000,000.00 Estimated Value Option Year 3 (2 Years) $560,000,000.00 Estimated Value Option Year 4 (2 Years) $560,000,000.00 NOTE: The Contracting Officer estimates, based on an analysis of historical data for the current F&ESE TLSP, which has seven (7) contract holders, that the annual estimated demand value per contract holder for the current contract was $32 million. THIS INFORMATION IS BEING PROVIDED FOR
INFORMATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY AND IS IN NO WAY A GUARANTEE THAT THIS VALUE W
ILL BE ORDERED UNDER THE CONTRACTS RESULTING FROM THIS SOLICITATION
F. CONTRACT MINIMUM/MAXIMUM
For each awardee under a contract awarded under this solicitation, the Government guarantees that it will order quantity of supplies and incidental services having a minimum dollar value of $250,000.00 during the base period. The aggregate of delivery orders issued during contract performance for each awardee during the base period will be applied to the minimum guarantee for each awardee. At the time when the aggregate of delivery orders equals or exceeds the guaranteed minimum for the contract, the guaranteed minimum will have been met and the Government's obligations with regard to the guarantee will have been satisfied.
The maximum dollar value that can be obligated for a contract awarded under this solicitation is $7,000,000,000.00, meaning that the cumulative obligations of all orders placed against the contract resulting from this solicitation cannot exceed $7,000,000,000.00. The maximum of $7,000,000,000.00 also represents the maximum for the acquisition; the sum of all orders against all
CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 7 OF 98 PAGES
SPE8EH-21-R-0001
Form (CONTINUED) contracts shall not exceed $7,000,000,000.00.
Note: The Maximum Contract Value is $7 billion. The maximum dollar value of $7 billion accounts for potential surge and contingency requirements; however, $2.8 billion remains the estimated dollar value for the acquisition.
