CAUTION NOTICE
1. DLA Troop Support is establishing various follow-on “prime vendor” contract for metals, metal products and related services throughout the continental United States (CONUS) and overseas (OCONUS). A “prime vendor” is a business concern that functions as the primary supplier of all metal products either personally or through business partnerships with other concerns. This solicitation encompasses one region defined as the Northeast Region. The Northeast Region consists of the following states: Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont and West Virginia. This region has previously been awarded under the prime vendor program.
2. Ordering offices may include, but are not limited to: military activities, other federal agencies, contractors performing under DoD contracts; including the Maintenance, Repair, Operations (MRO) contractor(s), Naval Facilities Engineering Command (NAVFAC) contractor(s), Army Corps of Engineers (ACE) contractor(s), state Governments, Local Governments, and any other prime vendor/virtual prime vendor performing under a DoD contract. Based on the success of this acquisition, it is anticipated that this initiative may expand to various other military and Government installations within the region. Any such additions or deletions made by DLA may result in a significant increase or decrease in the Government’s contract estimated dollar value, but the maximum contract dollar value will not be changed if and when new authorized customers are added.
3. Based on the expansion of the contract, there may be significant additions to the list of items required to be supplied. The items listed in the Price Evaluation List (PEL) represent estimates based on historical usage data. Further, this list represents items ordered by current customers of the Metals program. Other activities, as added to the contract, may require additional items, not identified on the list, but included in the Items Covered as listed on page of this solicitation. This information will be furnished to the contractor prior to the inclusion of any respective installation. If the Government does exercise the right to add product lines, the contractor shall have a maximum of 30 calendar days to arrange for distribution of any new items.
4. This procurement is being solicited on an UNRESTRICTED basis, and will be evaluated utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection procedures. Award will be based on factors other than cost or price alone, technical factors and past performance, as well as price and will be made to the lowest priced offeror meeting the minimum requirements for technical acceptability and past performance. Evaluation factors for award are contained in FAR 52.212-2 “EVALUATION – COMMERCIAL ITEMS”, contained on page 87. The information provided in the non-price proposal will be used for evaluation purposes only. However, the Government reserves the right to make any part of the proposal a contractual requirement at time of award.
5. Proposals shall be prepared and submitted in accordance with Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 and FAR 52.212-2, of this solicitation. These sections provide instructions on the preparation and evaluation of proposals.

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.
