Caution Notice
The following notice provides a basic summary of this solicitation. All points are discussed in greater detail in other parts of the solicitation and vendors must read the entire solicitation, address all requirements throughout the solicitation in their proposal and agree to all terms and conditions contained herein.
(1.) The DLA Troop Support Medical Supply Chain is the activity responsible for purchasing Pharmaceuticals, Medical/Surgical, Optical, Laboratory, and Dental supplies, and related Medical equipment for U.S. soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines – around the world and around the clock.
Our primary focus is to support the warfighter in times of war, in peace, or during relief efforts in times of national emergency.
(2.) The objective of this solicitation is to establish multiple long-term indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity Optical ECAT contracts to support DLA Troop Support customers in the Contiguous United States (CONUS) to include the 48 contiguous states and the District of Columbia and Outside Contiguous United States (OCONUS) to include Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico.
(3.) This solicitation is 100% set-aside for small business participation.
(4.) This solicitation and any resultant contracts shall use the authority of FAR Part 8.4, Multiple Award Schedules and DFARS 208.4. The Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) method of providing logistics support empowers customers to select the product that best meets their mission needs based on factors important to them when making an ordering decision. This multiple award, customer best value approach is similar to GSA Federal Supply Schedules. This solicitation is intended to result in multiple awards of indefinite quantity/indefinite delivery contracts to any offeror determined to be technically acceptable and offering fair and reasonable pricing. This contract approach provides DLA customers access to multiple indefinite delivery contracts involving the same product lines, enabling them to select the item(s) they determine meet their requirements using the lowest overall cost alternative and/or utilizing best value ordering procedures to satisfy mission requirements.
All vendors holding contracts under the Optical ECAT Program will be given a fair opportunity to have their products considered when competing to fill a delivery order. As detailed later in this solicitation, orders exceeding the micro-purchase threshold (currently $3,000.00) shall be placed with the contractor that can supply the item that represents the best value to the Government and results in the lowest overall cost alternative to meet the Government's needs. Ordering activities will document each best value decision which specifies that at least three (3) sources, if available, were considered before placing the order. In accordance with DFARS 208.405-70, customer orders valued at $150,000 or greater must be re-competed among all Optical ECAT Program contract holders if it is determined there may be other sources of supply. This re-competition will be performed by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the requirements of the DFARS. If a requirement in excess of the micro-purchase threshold is defined so as to require a particular brand name, thereby precluding consideration of a product manufactured by another company, the ordering office shall include an explanation in the file as to why the particular brand name, product, or feature is essential to satisfy the agency’s needs. Note that orders valued at or below the micro-purchase threshold may be placed with any contractor, without regard to competition requirements.
SOLICITATION NUMBER SPM2DE-13-R-0001 Page 6 of 91
Orders will be reviewed on a periodic basis to determine which products represent the best value at the lowest overall cost alternative to the Government.
(5.) All vendors will be required to submit “Rochester Optical R5A or equal” frame samples as specified in the solicitation. Samples will be submitted at no expense to the Government and must be received prior to the time and date set forth for the closing of offers.
(6.) The Optical ECAT Program is voluntary for DLA Customers who have the option to source the same items through other contracts or outside of DLA. As a result, there will be no guarantee of sales or specific demand outside of the guaranteed minimum dollar value that is established for each contract. To be successful under this program; the vendor will need to market the program to DLA customers, establish supplier relationships, offer competitive pricing to other Government contracts and commercial sources, provide superior customer support and ensure a product offering that can satisfy most customer requests. Failure to do any of these tasks could result in minimal or no sales.
(7.) Fast Pay Applies for delivery orders up to a value of $100,000.00. Prompt Pay shall apply for all orders at or above $100,000.00.
(8.) Pricing will be adjusted through Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) provisions.
(9.) Orders must be confirmed within 24 hours. Orders that cannot be filled will count against the vendor fill rate. A minimum of 90% of orders must be filled under the contract. Vendors must maintain a 90% On-time Delivery rate.
(10.) All pricing for this solicitation must be offered on a FOB Destination basis.
(11.) Price submission instructions are contained in the FAR 52.212-1 section on page 65. Offerors are required to submit two catalogs: one catalog for customers located in CONUS, and one catalog for customers located in OCONUS. All CONUS and OCONUS facilities must be supported in order to receive a contract in Optical ECAT Program.
(12.) Offerors should complete the proposal submission checklist on pages 71 through 72 and ensure that all applicable elements are included in their proposal.

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.
(2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database.
Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.
(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via CCR accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423 or 269-961-5757.

1. Paragraph (g), Invoice.
Delete paragraph (g) in its entirety and substitute with instruction in the Statement of Work.
2. Paragraph (m), Termination for Cause.
Delete paragraph (m) in its entirety and substitute the following:
(m) Termination for Cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If this contract is terminated in whole or in part for cause, and the supplies or services covered by the contract so terminated are repurchased by the Government, the Government will incur administrative costs in such repurchases. The Contractor and the Government expressly agree that, in addition to any excess costs of repurchase, or any other damages resulting from such default, the Contractor shall pay, and the Government shall accept, the sum of $1,350.00 as payment in full for the administrative costs of such repurchase. This assessment of damages for administrative costs shall apply for any termination for cause following which the Government repurchases the terminated supplies or services together with any incidental or consequential damages incurred because of the termination. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.
3. Paragraph (t), Central Contractor Registration (CCR).

(a) All price adjustments authorized or mandated by this clause are based upon changes in the Contractor’s list prices and certain Other Federal Agency (OFA) contract unit prices. The clause also provides for voluntary price reductions (VPR) in the form of “specials” or “discounts”.
(b) Definitions:
(1) Contract Unit Price: The price per unit of issue comprised of the “List Price” and the applicable “Discount”. The Contract Unit Price is determined by reducing the applicable list price by the appropriate discount. Contract unit prices and any revisions thereto are loaded by the Contractor into an E-CAT File and are forwarded electronically to the Government. For proposed price changes, the Contractor shall also separately submit (in Excel Spreadsheet or ACCESS Database format) the additional information as required in paragraphs (g) and (h) below in order for the Government to review and evaluate these proposed price changes. Upon the Government’s determination that the offered unit prices are acceptable/fair and reasonable, the Government shall release them into the contract electronic catalog residing in the E-CAT System. (Contract unit prices, list prices, and discounts under this contract are not visible in the E-CAT System to the Contractor or any customer. The prices visible in the E-CAT System to the Contractor or any customer are the delivered unit prices which are the contract unit prices plus the DLA Troop Support administrative fee percentage (in effect at that time) charged customers ordering under this contract.)
(2) Discount: The percentage reduction off the list price proposed by the Contractor, accepted by the Government, and maintained in the contract file (not the E-CAT System) by the Government. These percentages may vary per item and quantity ordered. They shall be agreed to at time of award and may not be reduced for the life of the contract. These discounts are in addition to
SOLICITATION NUMBER SPM2DE-13-R-0001 Page 18 of 91 any standard trade discounts in the Contractor’s established commercial Catalog/Price List.
(Contractors may offer larger discounts and/or reduced List Prices at any time.)
(3) List Price: The established Catalog Unit Prices of the items. In order for a “List Price” to meet the criteria as an established Catalog Price, it must meet the definition in (c)(1) below.
(4) Voluntary Price Reduction (VPR): See paragraph (l).
(c)(1) The term "established Catalog Unit Price", as used in this clause, means a Unit
Price that
(i) is a Catalog Price for a commercial item sold in substantial quantities to the general public and
(ii) (ii) is the net price after applying any standard trade discounts offered by the Contractor.
(2) Unless otherwise specified, all reference to the terms “OFA Unit Price”(s) or “ OFA Price(s)” as used in this clause, shall be the prices appearing in the Contractor’s current contract it may have with another Federal Agency for the same items under this contract.
(d) The offeror/Contractor warrants that
(1) the List Prices and the subsequent revisions thereto are the established Catalog Unit Prices in effect at time of Award or adjustment for like quantities of the same items and
(2) any contract unit prices determined using these List Prices do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this clause. The offeror/Contractor also warrants that any contract unit prices determined using OFA Unit Prices do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this clause.
(e) Prior to award the Contractor must furnish:
(1) their current established Catalog/Price List, offered Discounts, proposed contract unit prices; and
(2) if applicable, a copy of their current OFA Contract(s), OFA Unit Prices, and the OFA contract expiration dates applicable to items offered as well as any other information required by the Contracting Officer.
(f) Upon acceptance by the Government, the Award Unit Prices will be established at the List Prices minus the offered Discounts provided the resulting contract unit prices do not exceed the current OFA Unit Price (if applicable) for the same item.
Accordingly, offers are cautioned to propose discounts which, when applied to the list prices, will not exceed OFA Unit Prices (if applicable).
(g) Downward Adjustments.
(1) Downward adjustments to contract unit prices are mandated whenever there are decreases in either 1) List Prices or 2) OFA Unit Prices when the reduction results in a revised OFA Price which is now lower than the current Contract Unit Price. The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the amount and effective date of each decrease in list price and any OFA Unit Price reduction which results in an OFA Unit Price which is now lower than the current Contract Unit Price. If the offered price decrease is based upon a reduction in list price or OFA Price, the Contractor shall propose a lower Contract Unit Price taking into
SOLICITATION NUMBER SPM2DE-13-R-0001 Page 19 of 91 consideration the benchmarks in paragraphs (g)(2) and (3) below. The Contractor must furnish a copy of the revised Catalog/Price List or OFA Unit Price as soon as it is available. Also, the Contractor must provide a copy of the “E-CAT file” at least 30 days prior to the date when the reduced List Price(s) or OFA Price(s) take effect. In addition to the “E-CAT file” and any other information required by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall also separately furnish, within the timeframe above, an Excel spreadsheet or ACCESS database (in both hard copy and disc) that displays for each item with an offered decrease in Contract Unit Price the appropriate information below:
(i) For List or OFA Price changes: The item number; e.g., 0001AA.
(ii) For List or OFA Price changes: The Supplier (Catalog); e.g., ABC Imaging, Inc.
(iii) For List or OFA Price changes: The Product Name/Nomenclature; e.g., High Speed Handpiece.
(iv) For List or OFA Price changes: Part Number; HIH 2000
(v) For List or OFA Price changes: The list price upon which the current Contract Unit Price is based.
(vi) For List or OFA Price changes: The applicable Contract Discount used as a basis for determining the current Contract Unit Price.
(vii) For List or OFA Price changes: The Contract Unit Price currently in effect.
(viii) For list price changes: The reduced List Price.
(ix) For List or OFA Price changes: The applicable Contract Discount or larger Contract Discount now offered.
(x) For List or OFA Price changes: The reduced Contract Unit Price now offered.
(xi) For list price changes: The percentage decrease in list price from the list price which determined the current Contract Unit Price to the new, lower list price.
(xii) For list price changes: The percentage change in Contract Unit Price from the current Contract Unit Price to the new lower Contract Unit Price now offered.
(xiii) For OFA Price changes: The current OFA Unit Price which is about to expire and the new reduced OFA Unit Price which will replace it and triggered this Contract Unit Price reduction.
SOLICITATION NUMBER SPM2DE-13-R-0001 Page 20 of 91
(xiv) For list price changes: For any items offered to Federal Agencies under an OFA Contract, the current OFA Unit Price(s) for the same item.
(2) Reductions in List Price(s). If the offered price decrease is based upon a reduction in the List Price, the appropriate discount or larger discount now offered will be applied to each reduced list price to determine the adjusted Contract Unit Price provided the proposed lower Contract Unit Price does not exceed the lower of the following two benchmarks:
(i) The offered reduction in Contract Unit Price on a percentage basis must be at least equal to the percentage reduction from the list price currently in effect under the contract to the new lower List Price; i.e., the current Contract Unit Price must, as a minimum, be reduced by the percentage decrease in List Price.
(ii) The new proposed lower Contract Unit Price shall not exceed the current OFA Unit Price for the same item.
(3) OFA Price Reductions. If the offered price decrease is based upon a reduction in the OFA Price, the proposed lower Contract Unit Price shall not exceed the following benchmark:
The new proposed lower Contract Unit Price shall not exceed the revised lower OFA Price for the same item.
(4) If the proposed Contract Unit Price exceeds the lower of the appropriate list price benchmarks (for reductions based upon reduced List Prices) or the OFA Price benchmark (for reductions based upon reduced OFA Prices), the Contracting Officer shall determine the proposed price reductions unreasonable and negotiate a price reduction which results in a Contract Unit Price that does not exceed the appropriate benchmarks.
