OFF-RAMP/ON-RAMP________________

OFF-RAMP

To ensure the success of the G2S, each G2S prime Contractor must meet the satisfactory performance standards in Section F of the contract. If a G2S prime Contractor does not meet the performance standards, it is the Governments intent to off-ramp G2S prime

Contractor by:

(a) Providing a cooling off/remedial period during which the G2S prime Contractor will not be allowed to compete on Order RFPs. The G2S prime Contractor will be required to submit a get-well plan. The time period for the cooling off/remedial period will be at the

Contracting Officer's discretion and will depend on the specific performance issues that the G2S prime Contractor is experiencing. The

G2S prime Contractor will not be penalized further for not meeting the quote metric during this cooling off/remedial period.

(b) Permitting such G2S prime Contractors IDIQ contract to expire instead of exercising the option; or

(c) Implementing a termination for convenience (if applicable and only if such action is in the Governments best interest); or

(d) Implementing a termination for default, if applicable; or

(e) Taking any other action which may be permitted under Federal regulations and the G2S terms and conditions.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Consistent with FAR 16.504(c)(1)(ii)(A), the Contracting Officer has determined that it is in the Governments best interest that at all times during the term of the contract, there remain an adequate number of G2S prime Contractors eligible to compete for the delivery/task orders. Over time, the total number of G2S prime Contractors may fluctuate due to various reasons including industry consolidation, significant changes in the marketplace or advances in technology, general economic conditions, the Governments exercise of the off-ramp process, a need to add or replace small business contractors, or other reasons. Recognizing this, DLA intends to periodically review the total number of G2S prime Contractors participating in the G2S ordering process and determine whether it would be in the Governments best interest to initiate an open season to add new G2S prime Contractors.

In the event that a small business G2S prime Contractor loses its small business status after the re-certifications process, the G2S prime Contractor may choose to propose as a large business on Order RFPs, after they meet the requirements stated below (e.g. Small

Business Subcontracting Plan and Small Business Commitment Document).

Open Season Procedures:

If DLA determines that it would be in the Governments best interest to open a new solicitation to add new G2S prime Contractors, the

Contracting Officer may do so at any time provided that:

(a) The solicitation is issued under then-applicable federal procurement law;

(b) A decision is made to award the same or a different number of G2S contracts than the number awarded following the original solicitation depending upon the overall quality of the offers received.

(c) Any Offeror that meets the eligibility requirements may submit a proposal in response to the new solicitation; however, existing G2S prime Contractors may not hold more than one basic contract at a time.

(d) The award decision under any solicitation is based upon substantially the same evaluation factors/sub-factors/sub-sub factors as the original solicitation.

(e) The terms and conditions of any resulting awards from a new solicitation are not materially different from the existing version of the basic contract;

(f) The terms for any such new awards from a solicitation is coterminous with the existing term for all other G2S prime Contractors, including the option periods;

(g) If awarded a G2S IDIQ contract, any new G2S prime Contractors is eligible to submit a proposal in response to Order RFPs and receive order awards with the same rights and obligations as any other G2S prime Contractors; and

(h) The award of any new G2S contract(s) does not increase the combined G2S maximum ceiling.

DELIVERY ORDER RATINGS______________________

The Contracting Officer reserves the right to prioritize orders, based upon the best interest of the Government. In the event the

Contracting Officer decides that the orders need to be prioritized, the Contracting Office will provide the following rating as indicated in the table below:

RATING EXPLANATION______ ___________

G2S-1 Highest G2S order rating. Orders designated with this rating take priority over other G2S-rated orders.

G2S-2 Higher priority than G2S-3, but not as high of a priority as G2S-1.

G2S-3 Normal priority.

G2S-4 Lowest G2S order rating.

The application of delivery order ratings is specific to the G2S contract only, and will not conflict with any Defense Priorities &

Allocations System (DPAS) Ratings. DPAS orders will govern.

If applicable, the rating will be indicated in section A of the order or modification.

SMALL BUSINESS RESERVATION AND SMALL BUSINESS SET ASIDES ON ORDERS__________________________________________________________________

The Government anticipates multiple-award contracts resulting from this solicitation. This solicitation is being issued as an unrestricted acquisition. However, a portion of contract awards will be reserved for small businesses IAW FAR 19.503. These reserve award(s) will be made to the best value offeror(s) in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in the solicitation. The Government

10 26

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

therefore anticipates multiple contract awards resulting from this solicitation in two separate categories: other-than-small business awards, and small business awards. This acquisition will allow for individual delivery/task orders to be set aside for small businesses in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F).

After the contracts are awarded, the Contracting Officer intends to reserve all orders under $250,000 for small business G2S prime

Contractors. However, if it is determined through market research (e.g. the quarterly forecasting results) that there is NOT a reasonable expectation that two or more small business G2S prime Contractors will submit competitive offers in terms of market prices, quality and delivery, the Contracting Officer may decide to not set aside the order. In addition, if only one small business is awarded a G2S contract, then the Contracting Officer may decide to limit the amount of small business reservation set asides to a combined

$1,000,000 over any given six (6) month period. If an order set aside is dissolved, then an unrestricted Order RFP will be released and other-than-small businesses as well as small businesses are eligible for award.

All small business G2S prime Contractors will be authorized to receive small business set aside orders for the first five years of the

IDIQ base period. In accordance with 13 CFR 121.404(g)(3), 120 days prior to the end of the base period, all G2S prime Contractors will be requested to re-certify to maintain their small business status for the next option period. This process will need to be completed before each subsequent option period. If it is discovered that a small business G2S prime Contractor has lost its small business status after the re-certification process, it may continue to hold its IDIQ contract, but will be excluded from competing on orders that are set aside for small businesses. It will also need to maintain the other-than-small business quote rate that is identified in the

Statement of Work. In order to maintain adequate small business competition, the Government may solicit for additional small business

G2S prime Contractors, if there is a need to add or replace small business contractors.

All small business G2S prime Contractors that lose their small business status following the re-certification process will be required to submit a small business subcontracting plan, and resubmit the Small Business Commitment Document, as necessary, in accordance with the requirements of this solicitation. The small business subcontracting plan, and Small Business Commitment Document will be evaluated prior to the G2S prime Contractor being authorized to compete on unrestricted orders.

*** END OF SMALL BUSINESS RESERVATION AND SMALL BUSINESS SET ASIDES ON ORDERS ***

COMMERCIAL ORDERS_________________

The Contracting Officer will make a commercial item determination prior to the issuance of an Order RFP.

If an item/incidental service is determined commercial, the Order RFP will clearly communicate that the item is commercial, by stating that the commercial clauses apply. All Order RFPs will include or reference the applicable commercial or noncommercial clauses.

Applicable commercial and noncommercial clauses can be found in Section I, after the base contract clauses. Orders for commercial supplies/services will be issued separately from noncommercial supplies/ services and must be Firm-Fixed-Priced (FFP).

Best value for commercial orders can be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) or Tradeoff.
