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.

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:

i. Prior to receipt of this solicitation, the firm must have received written Government Engineering approval of a test procedure on its non-listed item.

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

iii. The firm indicates 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 Government Engineering approval of the summary report furnished 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).

16 22

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

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 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 Government Engineering approval of the summary report furnished at the conclusion of testing; and

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

-- 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).

(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.

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, 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.

18 22

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(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.
