E.20 Rework and Repair of Nonconforming Material________________________________________________

a. Rework and Repair are defined as follows:

(1) Rework - The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

(2) Repair - The reprocessing of nonconforming material in accordance with approved written procedures and operations to reduce, but not completely eliminate, the nonconformance. The purpose of repair is to bring nonconforming material into a usable condition. Repair is distinguished from rework in that the item after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications or contract requirements.

b. Rework procedures along with the associated inspection procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted to the

Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for review and approval prior to implementation.

c. Repair procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted on a Request for Deviation/Waiver, to the Procuring Contracting

Officer for review and written approval prior to implementation.

d. Whenever the Contractor submits a repair or rework procedure for Government review, the submission shall also include a description of the cause for the non-conformances and a description of the action taken or to be taken to prevent recurrence.

e. The rework or repair procedure shall also contain a provision for re-inspection which will take precedence over the Technical Data

Package requirements and shall, in addition, provide the Government assurance that the reworked or repaired items have met reprocessing requirements.

E.26 Interchangeability of Components_____________________________________

(a) DESIGN CHANGES TO ITEMS NOT UNDER GOVERNMENT DESIGN CONTROL. Once the Government accepts the first production test item, or ___________________________________________________________ accepts the first end item you deliver, (whichever comes first) you must not make design changes to any item or part that is not under

Government design control.

(b) WHEN THE POLICY CAN BE WAIVED. The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) will consider waiving this policy at your request. If _____________________________

4 12

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

your request reaches the PCO after the first production item test has been performed, then we may conduct another first production test at your expense.

(c) PRODUCTION OR DELIVERY DELAYS. Any production or delivery delays caused by this retesting will not be the basis for: _____________________________

(1) an "excusable delay" as defined in the DEFAULT clause of this contract.

(2) be the basis for an increase in contract price or delivery schedule extension.

************ End of Narrative E.26 ************

E.28 Drawings for Inspection____________________________

(a) When requested, the Contractor shall make available to the Government Inspector the drawings and specifications to which the product was manufactured. Upon completion of product inspection and acceptance by the Government Inspector, all drawings and specifications will be returned to the Contractor.

(b) If the Contractor is not the actual manufacturer of the item being procured (i.e. dealer, distributor, etc.), the Contractor shall ensure that subcontractor drawings are available for review to support the Government's inspection requirements.

(c) The Government may rely on the Contractor's Certificate of Conformance, IAW FAR 52.246-15, that the item tendered for acceptance conforms to the contract requirements. However, conditions may warrant that the Contractor be required to make available to the

Government the drawings, specifications, or other technical data such that the Government can determine if the item meets the contract requirements. These conditions may include, but are not limited to, the following: 1) Complex items or items which have quality characteristics for which contractual conformance must be established through precise measurements and functional operation, either as an individual item or in conjunction with other items, 2) Items used in critical applications or items denoted as critical on technical data, 3) Items with known quality conformance issues, 4) Items with an unstable design history, and/or 5) Contractor changes in technical requirements, technical data, and/or production processes which impact the fit, form, or function of the item.

INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

L.4 Data and Communications Submitted to the Government Electronically________________________________________________________________________

(a) The Government often employs Contractors as system administrators to operate and maintain Government computer systems. These systems include local area networks, web sites, databases, other electronic records, e-mail accounts, other electronic data transfer mechanisms and computer software. The employees of these contracted system administrators sign nondisclosure agreements obligating them not to reveal information contained in files, documents, computers or systems that they administer. However, unless such information is protected in some way, contracted system administrators do have the ability to access such information.

(b) Potential Contractors as well as any other parties are thus advised to take steps needed to prevent access by contracted system administrators to information submitted electronically to the Government. Absent such steps, it is assumed that contracted system administrators are permitted the capability to access the data. The access will be limited to that which is necessary for the contract system administrator to perform its duties for the Government. The access shall be subject to the condition that third party information is not to be revealed by the contracted system administrator.

************ End of Narrative L.4 ************

L.5 Source Notes on Drawings Conform to Mil Tech Data Requirements_____________________________________________________________________

Notwithstanding the fact that ordnance drawings furnished with this solicitation may list particular manufacturer part numbers as approved sources, or as being the same as, or equivalent to, the ordnance part described on the drawing, the item to be supplied under this solicitation must conform to all specific technical requirements expressed on such drawing(s). To the extent that there may be any inconsistency between a manufacturer's part number and specific technical requirements expressed on an ordnance drawing which references the manufacturer's part number, the specific technical requirements shall control and take precedence. Offerors shall bear the responsibility of verifying that the approved part as supplied will conform with all such specific technical requirements.

************ End of Narrative L.5 ************

L.6 Notice Regarding Required Manufacturers Part Number / Source Controlled Components / Source Controlled Contract Items_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(b) With the exceptions described in paragraph c below, and in the narrative entitled REPRESENTATION OF INTENT

TO SUPPLY A SOURCE-CONTROLLED ITEM, offers that propose to furnish any alternative to the required manufacturer's part number(s) will not be considered for contract award. It is understood that, by submitting an offer under this solicitation, Offeror agrees to supply one of the required part numbers unless the conditions set forth either in paragraph (c) below or in the narrative entitled REPRESENTATION OF INTENT TO SUPPLY A SOURCE-CONTROLLED ITEM are met.

(c) Required Approval for Equivalent Items

(1) \*()If a firm manufactures an item which it believes to be totally equivalent to the required item(s), it may submit an offer based on the equivalent item if the following conditions are met:

at the conclusion of independent testing; and

iv. The firm must have secured final written approval of its part from Government 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).

v. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Government expressly reserves to the Procuring Contracting Officer the right to waive the conditions set forth in paragraph (c)1 above in making an award when it is clearly established that written approval from Government Engineering of a non-listed part number can be obtained without delay in the anticipated date of award.

(2) When the foregoing conditions are met, the Government reserves the right to make an award for a non-listed item. In no other instance will award be made to any firm that does not agree to furnish one of the required part numbers listed in this solicitation.

(3) Any firm that manufactures or regularly sells an item which it views as equivalent in all respects to one of our required part numbers, but that has not initiated approved qualification testing in order to demonstrate that its part is totally equivalent to the required part, should see the notice entitled PART NUMBERS NOT CURRENTLY APPROVED, located elsewhere in this Section L.

(d) It is the responsibility of each Offeror to ensure the availability of sufficient quantities of source-controlled components before making an offer in response to this solicitation. Except as described in paragraph (e) 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.

(e) 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 Government Engineering approval of a test procedure on its proposed equivalent component.

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

-- The firm must have secured final written approval of its part from Government 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 that written approval of a non-listed part from Government 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 agreeing to furnish the source-controlled item(s) from the indicated source(s).

(3) Any firm that manufactures or regularly sells an item which it views as equivalent in all respects to one of our required components, but that has not initiated approved qualification testing in order to demonstrate that its part is totally equivalent to the required component, should see the notice entitled PART NUMBERS NOT CURRENTLY APPROVED, located elsewhere in this Section L.

(f) If the drawings in the Technical Data Package for this requirement contain reference notes indicating one or more sources of supply have previously furnished the items depicted on the drawings, these notes also specify some sort of approval requirement, typically phrased in one of the following ways:

SOURCE-CONTROLLED ITEM), the listing of sources of supply on drawings with such approval requirements means that only those listed sources may furnish the items depicted on such drawings. Thus, any Offeror responding to this solicitation and not meeting the exception criteria set forth herein will be deemed to have agreed to furnish the contract item from a listed source.

(h) Required Approval for Non-listed Part Number:

(1) When the following conditions are met, the Government reserves the right to consider and accept an offer conditioned on a manufacturer's part number not cited in the Technical Data Package. In order to be eligible for such consideration, any firm offering a non-listed part number must:

-- have received, prior to receipt of this solicitation, written TACOM approval of a test plan on its item, designed to demonstrate that the non-listed part is physically, functionally, and mechanically interchangeable with the listed part number(s) cited herein;

-- indicate in its offer the date of the formal Government Engineering approval of the test plan, and the name and title of the approving official;

-- be in the process of having its non-listed part number tested by an independent testing facility under the terms of the approved plan, or be awaiting final Government Engineering approval of the summary report furnished at the conclusion of testing;

and

-- have secured final written approval of its part from Government 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 that written approval from Government Engineering can be obtained without delay in the anticipated date of award.

(3) Any firm that cannot comply with conditions in paragraph (c) above upon submission of its offer under this solicitation, but that believes one of its part numbers to be equivalent to the approved part number(s) cited in this solicitation, is invited to begin the qualification procedure to gain approval of such non-listed part number for purposes of future acquisition action. Please see the narrative entitled PART NUMBERS NOT CURRENTLY APPROVED, which is located elsewhere in this Section L.

L.11 Acquisition of New Facilities, Special test Equipment or Special Tooling_____________________________________________________________________________

(a) It is not the intent of the Government to acquire, or to have acquired for its account, any facilities, special test equipment, or special tooling as those terms are defined below. The Government shall under no circumstances reimburse the Offeror for the cost of any new facilities, special test equipment, or special tooling as a separate item. An Offeror may, however, amortize the cost of any such facilities, special test equipment, or special tooling it may require in the submitted price of the items. Such facilities, special test equipment or special tooling shall not be subject to Government option rights to take title to the same except as specified in the

DEFAULT, TERMINATION FOR THE CONVENIENCE OF THE GOVERNMENT, and/or PROGRESS PAYMENT clauses of this contract.

************ End of Narrative L.11 ************

L.12 Part Numbers Not Currently Approved________________________________________

As specified elsewhere in this solicitation, part or all of the contract item to be procured is restricted to certain approved manufacturer's part numbers as set forth in the Schedule and/or the Technical Data Package. Any firm that produces an item which it believes to be equivalent to one of these approved part numbers is encouraged to have such item tested and approved, so that the item will be eligible to be bought on future acquisitions. Please write to the attention of the Contract Specialist at the email address indicated on the cover page of this solicitation and request a statement of the procedures by which items can be tested and approved for procurement. Such an inquiry should cite the applicable National Stock Number (NSN), the already approved part number, the part number of the item which the enquirer believes to be identical to our approved item, and a brief statement of the basis on which the new item is believed to be equivalent to the already approved item.

************ End of Narrative L.12 ************

L.13 Reverse Auction_____________________

The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the PCO 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 PCO decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, 9 12

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

the PCO 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 PCO 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 PCO 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 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 PCO decides that further discussions are needed and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the PCO 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 PCO 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 PCO or designated representative immediately. The PCO 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 PCO reserves the right to request that offerors provide an alternate offeror employee to become a 'trained offeror.' The PCO 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 Procuring 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 Procuring Contracting Officer; this process is not an appellate review of a Procuring Contracting

Officer's decision on a protest previously filed with the Procuring Contracting Officer). Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest, protests will be presumed to be protests to the Procuring contracting officer.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.8 Evaluation of Incomplete Option Pricing___________________________________________

(a) Per FAR 17.203(d), Offerors may price the option CLIN in this solicitation incrementally, by entering different option unit prices that will apply to different subquantities or quantity ranges (in the event that the Government elects to exercise less than 100% of the option). Notwithstanding this, the provision entitled EVALUATION OF OPTIONS (FAR 52.217-5, located elsewhere in this Section M) indicates that the Government's evaluation for contract award will include each Offeror's price for 100% of the option quantity.

(b) If an Offeror specifies unit prices that apply to one or more option quantity ranges, but does not specify a unit price for 100% of the option, the Government will evaluate that offer for award as follows. The option price for such offer shall be deemed to be the higher of (i) the unit price that applies to the basic (non-option) quantity, or (ii) the highest unit price that is identified against any range or subquantity of the option CLIN.
