(a) Please see the provision entitled ACQUISITION OF MANUFACTURER'S PART NUMBER: COMPONENTS in this solicitation. At least one component of the item to be purchased under this acquisition is restricted to specified manufacturer's part numbers as set forth in the

Technical Data Package. It is the responsibility of each offeror to ensure the availability of sufficient quantities of such source- _______ controlled components before making an offer in response to this solicitation. Except as described in paragraph (b) below, offers that__________ propose to substitute alternatives to the source-controlled components, even if the substitute items are represented as equivalent in all respects to the source-controlled components, will not be considered for contract award.

(b) Required Approval for Alternatives to the Source-Controlled Component:

(1) By meeting the following conditions, a firm may submit an offer conditioned on acceptance by the Government of alternatives to the source-controlled component(s) listed in the Technical Data Package:

-- Prior to receipt of this solicitation, the firm must have received written TACOM approval of a test procedure on its _____ proposed equivalent component.

-- The firm must indicate in its offer the date of the written TACOM approval, and the name and title of the approving official.

-- The firm must certify in its offer that it is in the process of having its item independently tested per the approved test procedure to demonstrate full physical, functional, and mechanical interchangeability of its part with an already-approved part cited in this solicitation, or that it is awaiting final TACOM engineering approval of the summary report furnished at the conclusion of testing; and

-- The firm must have secured final written approval of its part from TACOM engineering by the time of bid opening, (in the case of formally advertised acquisitions), or by the time of contract award, (in the case of negotiated acquisitions).

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Procuring Contracting Officer has the right to waive the above conditions in making an award when it is clearly established, in his sole discretion, that written approval of a nonlisted part from TACOM engineering can be obtained without delay in the anticipated date of award.

When either of the foregoing conditions are met, the Government reserves the right to make an award where use of the equivalent item is authorized in lieu of the source-controlled item. Where the foregoing conditions are not met, offeror will not be eligible for award unless he agrees to furnish the source-controlled item(s) from the indicated source(s).

L.13 Reverse Auction_____________________

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on the basis of initial offers or following discussions not using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify offerors of this decision and the following provisions will apply.

(a) The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the solicitation. The reverse on-line auction will be used as a pricing technique during discussions to establish the final offered prices from each offeror. These prices will be used in conjunction with the evaluation factors stated elsewhere in the solicitation in order to make the award decision in accordance with the basis for award stated in the solicitation.

(b) Following the decision to conduct discussions using on-line reverse auctioning as a pricing technique, the Contracting Officer or his/her representative will provide offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the on-line auction process. The Government intends to use a commercial web-based product to conduct the reverse auction.

(c) Prior to or simultaneously with conducting the on-line reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may hold discussions with the offerors concerning matters appropriate for discussion, such as issues involving technical proposals or unbalanced pricing.

(d) The lowest offerors price(s) for each round of the reverse auction will be disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having authorized access to the on-line auction. This disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offerors identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government; only a generic identifier will be used for each offerors proposed pricing, such as Offeror A or lowest-priced offeror). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, including to other offerors, during the reverse auction.

(e) The reverse auction system currently in use designates offers as "Lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "Not

Lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the first offer of that price as "Lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "Not Lead." Offerors shall not submit a tie offer, since this is inconsistent with the purpose of the reverse auction. If a tie offer is submitted, the "Not Lead" offeror that

11 15

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; it will be ineligible for award if the final price in the auction is the tie offer price.

(f) An offerors final auction price at the close of the reverse auction will be considered its final proposal revision. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the ______

Contracting Officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction.

(g) The following information is provided regarding the procedures to be followed if a reverse auction is conducted.

(1) Each offeror identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by Defense Logistic

Agencys commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the offeror of the event and to provide an explanation of the process.

(2) In order for an Offeror to participate in the reverse auction, such offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire solicitation, including this provision, and agree to the commercial reverse auction service providers terms and conditions for using its service. Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service providers terms and conditions is embedded within the email notification sent by the on-line reverse auction pricing tool system administrator.

(3) Offerors shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction service provider or the Government and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction. Offerors shall keep their own and other offerors pricing in confidence until after contract award.

(4) Any offeror unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service providers system during a reverse auction must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the offerors inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the offeror and outside the offerors control.

(5) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service providers website as embedded in the email notification. Offerors shall be responsible for providing their own computer and internet connection.

(6) Training:

(i) The commercial reverse auction service provider will provide familiarization training to offerors employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service providers website, and/or other means.

(ii) An employee of an offeror who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a 'trained offeror.' Only trained offerors may participate in a reverse auction. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that offerors provide an alternate offeror employee to become a 'trained offeror.' The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to take away the 'trained offeror' designation from any trained offeror who fails to abide by the solicitations or commercial reverse auction service providers terms and conditions.

L.15 Agency Protests____________________

Companies protesting this procurement may file a protest 1) with the contracting officer, 2) with the General Accounting Office, or 3) pursuant to Executive Order No. 12979, with the Agency for a decision by the Activity's Chief of the Contracting Office. Protests filed with the agency should clearly state that they are an "Agency Level Protest under Executive Order No. 12979." (Note: DLA procedures for

Agency Level Protests filed under Executive Order No. 12979 allow for a higher level decision on the initial protest than would occur with a protest to the contracting officer; this process is not an appellate review of a contracting officer's decision on a protest previously filed with the contracting officer). Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest, protests will be presumed to be protests to the contracting officer.
