SPM300‐11‐R‐0005 Amendment 0007 Page 2 of 14

Section I: Correction to amendment 0002

1. On the top of page 5 of amendment 0002, within item number 7, under Section II; pipeline pallet spaces for Zone 1 is corrected to read as 3,300 American sized pallets spaces (48 x 40 inches) for Zone 1. Zone 2 is corrected to read as 4,500 American sized pallets spaces (48 x 40 inches).

Section II: Additional Vendor questions that have come in post the pre-proposal question period.

1. Ref amendment 5- Q5 Page 4 of 13

Prime Vendor product is currently brought into Kenya via DTS, and is picked up by a third party logistics company. However, going forward the Prime Vendor will be responsible for all transportation to the customer.

Please clarify "all transportation to the customer". Does this mean from airport in Kenya to customer or does that include inbound flights?

DLA Troop Support Response: As stated above product is brought into Kenya via DTS so the Prime Vendor would be responsible for transportation from their Kenyan distribution point to the customer’s location. As stated on page 64 Emergency Air Lifts may be required; if an airlift is needed, the Prime Vendor may be responsible for the air freight as well if the airlift is used to rectify a situation created by lack of planning on the PV’s part..

2. Amendment 0005 discusses the availability of FFV in Kenya and that bakery items are to be supported through frozen items and dairy through UHT items. However Kenya is part of zone 2 and there is only one pricing sheet available for zone 2. Does the government expect the PV to source FFV locally in Kenya? If so, how should we price it since we are only allowed one price in the Zone 2 sheet? Will the Government make a separate line item for Kenya?

DLA Troop Support Response: FF&V for Kenya is not currently included in the schedule of items since it is currently being purchased via BPA, therefore, offerors are not required to list FF&V prices for Kenya at this time. However, in the future, the Government may require the PV to provide FF&V to customers in Kenya. At that time, the product price will be established using the new item procedures listed in this solicitation.

3. In regards to the solicitation, will private label holders (i.e. Sysco Labeled items) cost basis be their delivered cost to their dock, or will their cost basis be the manufacturer/grower of that product FOB their dock?

DLA Troop Support Response: See paragraph e. on page 79.

SPM300‐11‐R‐0005 Amendment 0007 Page 3 of 14

4. Since it will be necessary to have product on hand that has been purchased since the last price update, and since DSCP has said that without product price approval the price will not be accepted, can we anticipate approval on these requests prior to procurement? Once a product price change has taken place how long will the price approval request take DSCP to respond either up or down?

DLA Troop Support Response: The PV is encouraged to seek product price approvals prior to the items sailing from CONUS. The review process averages about 7 days, but can take longer dependent upon the accuracy of the supporting documentation submitted and the number of fair and reasonable requests received.

5. Historically all U.S. Flagged Sea Transport has been point to point (i.e. designated ocean carrier will provide sea vans and transport them to the CONUS manufacturer or distribution facility. The vans will then be loaded and will then be picked up and transported via DTS to OCONUS port and forwarded on to the Prime Vendor’s OCONUS distribution facility by a USTRANSCOM carrier.) Is it point to point?

DLA Troop Support Response: Yes, point to point will be used as explained in paragraph V.

TRANSPORTATION of the Statement of Work beginning on page 67.

6. Customs was somewhat ambiguous as to who pays subject to SOFA agreements. Have there been any cases where the Prime Vendor was responsible for customs costs? In what instances is the PV responsible for fees associated with customs?

DLA Troop Support Response: Under DTS Point to Point, it is an ocean carrier responsibility. As stated on page 71 paragraph C. Customs, the Prime Vendor is responsible for customs clearance from his OCONUS facility (s) to the final delivery points.

7. Page 175 states that the distribution price must be the same for both zones. Please clarify in detail, as one zone is more difficult and/or more expensive to service than the other.

DLA Troop Support Response: The language at the bottom of page 175 reads as follows:

Please Note: Distribution prices submitted for all customers in Zone 1 must be the same prices and Distribution prices submitted for all customers in Zone 2 must be the same prices.

This means that the distribution prices must be the same for all customers within each zone, not that distribution prices must be the same for both zones.

SPM300‐11‐R‐0005 Amendment 0007 Page 4 of 14

8. Refer page 175 of the solicitation – It is stated that distribution price for all customers within a zone should be the same. We feel it will be in the best interest of the Government to have the option of different distribution price for different countries within the zone.

DLA Troop Support Response: It is required that offerors submit proposals with the same distribution prices for all customers within each zone.

9. Please clarify the definition of manufacturer/grower as it pertains to items quoted on the market basket? How are we to treat items, which are quoted from a supplier/distributor (ie Imperial Sales, RPQ, Coastal Pacific, American Bounty, Ocean Direct)?

DLA Troop Support Response: We accept invoices /quotes that meet our criteria as stated in the pricing definitions on page 78.

10. For both Zone 1 and Zone 2, should the UOM for category 86 be pallet spaces as opposed to cases?

DLA Troop Support Response: Cases is the correct UOM for category 86.

11. We are struggling to get all quotes to be within the 45 day validity (i.e. dated after 29 Nov). This has been caused by the latest submittal extension and the fact that communications with manufacturers has been interrupted by the holidays. Therefore my question is will quotes older the 45 days be accepted?

DLA Troop Support Response: The older quotes will be accepted as long as the offeror will hold those prices.

Section III: Revisions (adds/changes/deletions) to the Solicitation

1. On page 61 in the third paragraph of paragraph C, change the word “identified” to “listed”.

2. On page 65 at the bottom after the last paragraph insert the following language:

Commercial airlift costs will not be reimbursed by DLA Troop Support if the airlift is used to rectify a situation created by lack of planning by the PV. Reimbursement for airlift costs will depend on the circumstances requiring the airlift, require sufficient evidence and documentation from the PV, and will be determined at that time. Final approval for payment is at the Contracting Officer’s discretion.

SPM300‐11‐R‐0005 Amendment 0007 Page 5 of 14

3. On the top of page 112 delete paragraph 4 and replace with the following:

4. The T-AFS will respond to any substitution request from the Prime Vendor within 48 hours.

The T-AFS will submit all other changes to the original order to the Prime Vendor no later than 6 days prior to required delivery date. The T-AFS will provide a detailed load plan to the Prime Vendor at least 2 days prior to the load-out. The T-AFS will arrange all port contracted facilities and will bear all port costs associated with the load-out (See FOSSAC below). The T-AFS/CTF- 53 will provide the capability to load product at the rate of at least 200 pallets per day, and will arrange any Navy required pre-load veterinary inspections. The T-AFS will absorb all customs fees and any demurrage costs associated with offloading delays except when such delays are prime vendor/contractor caused. Demurrage costs will start accruing after 4 hours and these costs shall not exceed $25 dollars per hour with a maximum of $400.00 per day per truck. Under extraordinary circumstance the Contracting Officer may honor requests for additional costs in excess of $400.00 when the Contractor can provide documentation that the additional costs were unanticipated, unavoidable and have been caused by the Customer. Customers will absorb demurrage costs associated with offloading delays except when such delays are prime vendor/contractor caused.

4. At the bottom of page 156, delete the paragraph under Award Details and replace with the following:

It is the intent of the Government to make two awards, one contract for Zone 1 and one contract for Zone II. Each zone will be independently evaluated for best value.

Additionally, zones will be awarded in the order of size (dollar value). The largest zone will be awarded first then the smaller zone second, i.e. zone 2, and then zone 1. An eligible offeror receiving an award in Zone 2 will not be excluded from consideration of an award in Zone 1.

Offerors may submit proposal(s) for one zone, both zones independently, or they may submit proposal(s) for a zone which is contingent upon receiving the award in the other zone (a combined, contingent proposal).

If an offeror submits a combined, contingent proposal, the Government will evaluate each contingent technical proposal to determine if the overall technical proposal (for 1 or 2 Zones) meets the requirements for the Zones proposed. The combined contingent proposal will be given an overall technical rating based on the evaluation factors included in the solicitation under the addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-2. T he evaluated price for all Zones will be calculated in accordance with FAR Clause 52.212-2 and its addendum.

A best value tradeoff evaluation will then be made against the apparent single best value offer for each individual Zone.

The top selected contracts will be based on those submitted for the prime and the major subcontractors, i.e., top contracts may include three (3) from the prime and two (2) from the major subcontractor. Contracts of greater size and complexity will be viewed more favorably, while contracts of smaller size and complexity than that found in this solicitation will be viewed less favorably.
