SUBSTITUTION OF ITEM AFTER AWARD

When the purchase order text (POT) identifies supplies by manufacturer's name, commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code , and part number, the specified item(s) are the only item(s) acceptable under this contract. The Contractor may not substitute a different item after award.

PROHIBITED PACKING MATERIALS (DLA MARITIME-NORFOLK AND PUGET SOUND)

The following packing materials are prohibited: asbestos, excelsior, newspaper or shredded paper (all types including waxed paper, computer paper and similar hydroscopic or non-neutral material), and loose fill polystyrene. In addition, the use of yellow wrapping or packaging material is prohibited except where used for the containment of radioactive material.

CONDITIONS FOR EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS FOR PART NUMBERED ITEMS

(a) The product described in the purchase order text (POT) or procurement item description (PID)of this solicitation is that product which the Government has determined to be acceptable. All offerors shall indicate below, or through an alternative means in an electronic quoting system, whether they are offering an “exact product,” an “alternate product” (which includes a “previously reverse-engineered product”), a “superseding part number,” or a “previously-approved product;” and shall furnish the data required for whichever is applicable. (To determine which type of product to indicate, offerors must refer to the criteria in subparagraphs (b)-(e) of this provision, respectively.) Any product offered must be either a product cited in the POT or PID or be physically, mechanically, electrically, and functionally interchangeable with a product cited in the POT or PID, including additional requirements referred to in the POT or PID, if any.

Exact product – applies to contract line-item(s) (CLIN(s)):

Alternate/previously reverse-engineered product – applies to CLIN(s):

Superseding part number – applies to CLIN(s):

Previously-approved product – applies to CLIN(s):

(b) “Exact product.”

(1) “Exact product” means a product described by the name of an approved source and its corresponding part number, as currently cited in the POT or PID ; modified (if necessary) to conform to any additional requirements set forth in the POT or PID ; and manufactured by, or under the direction of, that approved source. If an Offeror indicates that an “exact product” is being offered, the Offeror must meet one of the descriptions in subparagraphs (i)-(iv) below.

(Any Offeror not meeting one of these descriptions is not considered to be offering “exact product;” even though the item may be manufactured in accordance with the drawings and/or specifications of an approved source currently cited in the POT or PID.)

For any Offeror other than the manufacturer cited in the POT or PID, the Contracting Officer may request evidence to demonstrate technical acceptability of the supplies offered. Evidence requested will generally include information tracing the supplies back to the original equipment manufacturer or its authorized distributor. At a minimum, evidence must be sufficient to establish the identity of the product and its manufacturing source. The Contracting Officer determines the acceptability and sufficiency of documentation or other evidence, at his or her sole discretion. If an Offeror fails to provide the requested evidence/information or provides information that the Contracting Officer finds unacceptable, its offer may be rejected without further consideration under this solicitation.

(i) An approved source currently cited in the POT or PID offering its corresponding part number as cited in the POT or PID;

(ii) A dealer/distributor offering the product of an approved source that meets the description in subparagraph (i) above;

(iii) A manufacturer who (A) produces the offered item under the direction of an approved source currently cited in; and (B) has authorization from that approved source to manufacture the item, identify it as that approved source’s name and part number, and sell the item directly to the Government. If requested by the Contracting Officer, the Offeror must provide documentation to demonstrate such authorization, or other evidence of technical acceptability such as information that traces the supplies back to the original equipment manufacturer. Such evidence could be documentation obtained directly from the approved source or identification on a Web site maintained by the approved source confirming that the manufacturer is an acceptable source for the item identified by that approved source’s name and part number. If evidence cannot be obtained directly from the approved source, this does not necessarily preclude acceptance of the offer, if the Offeror provides adequate documentation or other evidence allowing the Contracting Officer to determine the approved source has oversight of and involvement in the manufacturing process.

(iv) A dealer/distributor offering the product of a manufacturer that meets the description in subparagraph (iii) above. If requested by the Contracting Officer, the Offeror/Contractor must provide documentation that demonstrates such authorization or other evidence of technical acceptability such as information that traces the supplies back to the original equipment manufacturer or its authorized distributor. Such evidence could be documentation obtained directly from the approved source or identification on a web site maintained by the approved source confirming that the item being offered is produced by a manufacturer that is an acceptable source for the item identified by that approved source’s name and part number. If evidence cannot be obtained directly from the approved source or manufacturing source, this does not necessarily preclude acceptance of the offer, if the Contracting Officer can adequately document that the approved source has oversight of and involvement in the manufacturing process by other means.

(2) When the POT or PID identifies the item being acquired as a critical safety item (CSI), offers of exact product will be evaluated in accordance with 52.211-9005.

(c) “Alternate product.”

(1) The Offeror must indicate that an “alternate product” is being offered if the Offeror is any one of the following:

(i) An Offeror who (A) manufactures the item for an approved source currently cited in the POT or PID; and (B) does not have authorization from that approved source to manufacture the item, identify it as the approved source part number, and sell the item directly to the Government;

(ii) A dealer/distributor offering the product of a manufacturer that meets the description in subparagraph (i) above;

(iii) An Offeror of a previously reverse-engineered product that is not currently cited in the POT or PID; or

(iv) Any other Offeror who does not meet the criteria in subparagraphs (b)(1), (d), or (e) of this provision.

(2) If an alternate product is offered, the Offeror shall furnish with its offer legible copies of all drawings, specifications, or other data necessary to clearly describe the characteristics and features of the alternate product being offered. Data submitted shall cover design, materials, performance, function, interchangeability, inspection and/or testing criteria, and other characteristics of the offered product.

If the offered product is to be manufactured in accordance with data the Offeror has obtained from elsewhere within the Government, the Offeror shall either furnish the detailed data specified in this paragraph, or supply a description of the data package in its possession; i.e., basic data document and revision, the date the data was obtained and from whom (Government agency/activity).

If the Offeror does not furnish the detailed data with its offer, the Contracting Officer will be unable to begin evaluation of the offered product until such time as the detailed data can be obtained from the Government agency/activity possessing the data.

If the alternate product is a previously reverse-engineered product, the Offeror shall provide: traceability documentation to establish that the offered item represents the item specified in the POT or PID (i.e., invoice from an approved source or submission of samples having markings of an approved source); number of samples that were examined; the process/logic used; raw data (measurements, lab reports, test results) used to prepare drawings or specifications for the offered item; any additional evidence that indicates the reverse-engineered item will function properly in the end item; and any evidence that life cycle/reliability considerations have been analyzed.

(3) In addition, the Offeror may be required to furnish data describing the “exact product” cited in the POT or PID. The data required from the Offeror depends on the level of technical data describing the exact product, if any, available to the Government. The possible levels of technical data the Government may have and the corresponding data submission requirements for Offerors are identified in subparagraphs (a)-(d) below.

For the item(s) being acquired under this solicitation, the level of data in the Government’s possession and the corresponding requirements for data submission are identified in the POT or PID; or, if not specified in the POT or PID, are as follows: [buyer insert (a), (b), (c), or (d), as applicable, if the POT or PID does not identify]. (If the level of data in the Government’s possession and Offeror requirements for data submission are not identified in either the POT or PID or in this subparagraph (c)(3), then subparagraph (i) below applies.)

(i) No data: This Agency has no data available for evaluating the acceptability of alternate products offered. In addition to the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, the Offeror must furnish drawings and other data covering the design, materials, etc., of the exact product cited in the POT or PID, sufficient to establish that the Offeror's product is equal to the product cited in the POT or PID.

(ii) Adequate proprietary (i.e., limited rights) data: This Agency possesses adequate drawings and/or specifications for the exact product as cited in the POT or PID, but such data are proprietary (i.e., limited rights) and shall be used only for evaluation purposes. The Offeror must furnish the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, but is not required to submit data on the exact product.

(iii) Inadequate data: This Agency does not have adequate data available for evaluating the acceptability of alternate products offered. In addition to the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, the Offeror must furnish drawings and other data covering the design, materials, etc., of the exact product cited in the POT or PID, sufficient to establish that the Offeror's product is equal to the product cited in the POT or PID.

(iv) Adequate catalog data: This is a commercial offtheshelf item. Adequate catalog data are available at the contracting office to evaluate alternate offers. In addition to the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, the Offeror must furnish with its offer a commercially-acceptable cross reference list; or legible copies of all drawings, specifications or other data necessary to clearly describe the characteristics and features of the alternate product being offered, sufficient to establish that the Offeror’s product is equal to the product cited in the POT or PID. The Offeror is not required to submit data on the exact product.

(4) Except for indefinite delivery purchase orders (IDPOs), if this solicitation is automated, the Contracting Officer will not evaluate offers of alternate product (which includes offers of previously reverse-engineered product) for the current procurement. Instead, the Offeror shall submit a request to the appropriate location below for evaluation of the alternate product’s technical acceptability for future procurements of the same item. The request for evaluation shall cite the national stock number (NSN) of the exact product and, as identified in this provision, include the applicable level of technical data on the alternate and exact products. The level of technical data that the Government has available for use to evaluate the acceptability of an alternate product offered, and the corresponding level of technical data that must be furnished with an offer of alternate product, will be identified either in the POT or PID or in paragraph (c)(2) of the provision at 52.217-9002. If the level of data and submission requirements are not identified in either of these locations in the solicitation, then 52.217-9002(c)(3)(i) applies.

(d) “Superseding part number.”

(1) The Offeror must indicate that a “superseding part number” is being offered if the offered item otherwise qualifies as an “exact product,” except that the part number cited in the POT or PID has been superseded. The Offeror may be requested to furnish data, or provide confirmation through some other means, sufficient to establish that there are no changes in the configuration of the part. However, if such data are unavailable, the Offeror may be required to furnish technical data as required in paragraph (c) for “alternate products.” (If such data indicate there have been changes in the configuration of the part, the offered item must be identified as an “alternate product.”)

(2) For solicitation numbers beginning with SPE or SPM, any data to be furnished with an offer of a “superseding part number” should be mailed to the buyer at the procuring activity address on the solicitation. (Uploading the information with the quotation, or including it in the “Remarks” section, will make the offer a “bid with exception,” causing it not to be evaluated.)

(e) “Previously-approved product.”

(1) If the product offered has previously been furnished to the Government or otherwise previously evaluated and approved, the Offeror shall indicate in the space provided below, or through an alternative means in an electronic quoting system, the contract and/or solicitation number under which the product was furnished or approved.

Contract line item number(s) (CLINS) _____________have been previously furnished or evaluated and approved under contract/solicitation number _____________________.

(2) If the product was furnished or evaluated and approved by a contracting activity different from the one issuing this solicitation, Offerors are advised that the Contracting Officer may not have access to records of another activity or other information sufficient to reasonably determine the offered product’s acceptability. Therefore, in order to ensure that adequate data is available for evaluation, Offerors may elect to furnish with their offer the information requested by subparagraph (b) or (c) of this provision, whichever is applicable for the offered product. Offerors are advised that if the additional data is not furnished, the Government may not be able to evaluate the offer. (For solicitation numbers beginning with SPE, the information should be mailed to the buyer at the procuring activity address on the solicitation. Uploading the information with the quotation, or including it in the “Remarks” section, will make the offer a “bid with exception,” causing it not to be evaluated.)

(f) For all types of offers (“exact product,” “alternate product,” “superseding part number,” or “previously-approved product”), Offerors shall provide the commercial and Government entity (CAGE) code of the manufacturer and the part number being offered for each item in the solicitation.

(g) Failure to furnish adequate data and/or information as prescribed in subparagraph (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) of this provision when required for the current procurement within 10 business days or less, or as otherwise required by the Contracting Officer or elsewhere in this solicitation, may preclude consideration of the offer.

For automated procurements, it is the responsibility of the Offeror when offering a “superseding part number” or a “previously-approved part number” to ensure that supporting documentation arrives at the contracting activity within 2 business days after the data is requested, or the offer may not be considered.

The Agency will make every effort to determine, prior to award, the acceptability of the products offered which meet the following dollar savings threshold, and/or which have a reasonable chance to receive an award; generally, the Agency will not evaluate alternate offers not meeting the dollar threshold. The savings potential is based on the cost of evaluation and is $200.00 if only a local technical evaluation is involved, plus an additional $1,500.00 for each required Engineering Support Activity evaluation.

If the time before proposed award does not permit evaluation and delay of award would adversely affect the Government, alternate offers will not be considered for the current procurement. Instead, they will be evaluated for technical acceptability for future procurements of the same item, if adequate data is submitted, as stipulated above.

When an alternate offer will not be considered for the current procurement, the Contracting Officer may request that the offeror, at its discretion, provide a sample product for testing and evaluation in addition to the data required in this provision. Although not mandatory, offerors are encouraged to provide the sample. This may facilitate the post-award evaluation and, if the alternate product is approved, increase the likelihood of its being added to the POT or PID in time for the next acquisition of the item.

The Offeror shall not submit a sample product until requested to do so. The testing of the sample product will be done at a testing facility; therefore, the shipping instructions will be provided with the request. Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, may be damaged or destroyed during testing without liability from the Government to the submitter, and consequently may not be returned to the offeror; samples that are not damaged or destroyed will be returned only at the offeror’s request and expense.

For alternate offers not evaluated, the offeror’s complete technical data package will be returned.

(h) If offerors desire to restrict the Government's use of data submitted for evaluation, the data must bear the appropriate legends as prescribed by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.2151(e). In the event an award is made to an offeror submitting data without the appropriate legend, the Government will have unlimited rights to its use as defined in Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clause 252.2277013.

(i) It is the Government that determines if the documentation or other evidence furnished by an Offeror is adequate to satisfy the requirements in this provision. The Contracting Officer may at any time, pre-award or post-award, request evidence of the technical acceptability of the supplies offered in response to this solicitation. At a minimum, evidence must be sufficient to establish the identity of the product and its manufacturing source. The Contracting Officer determines the acceptability and sufficiency of documentation or other evidence, at his or her sole discretion.
