SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

Addendum to Clause 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS:

Paragraph "(c) Period for acceptance of offers." is changed to read as follows: The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 90 calendar days from the date of solicitation close.

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.

(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.

(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.

-- 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.

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

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. 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, 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

9 11

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

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.

NOTE: DLA Agency Protests for DLA Warren shall be filed with:
