SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

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.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.20 Submission of Subcontracting Plan_______________________________________

(a) Please refer to FAR 52.219-9, SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN, which is incorporated by reference in Section I of this solicitation. The clause requires large businesses to submit a subcontracting plan for small and small disadvantaged business concerns.

Such plans are not required from offerors that are small businesses.

(b) Large businesses may submit a copy of their plans as an attachment to their offer in response to this solicitation. The plan will be submitted to the Contracting Officers e-mail address on the cover page of the solicitation.

(c) Mark each page of your subcontracting plan with the solicitation number and date. If this is a negotiated acquisition, the

Government reserves the right to negotiate any and all elements of the proposed plan during negotiation of cost, technical, and/or managerial features of the proposal. The Government also reserve the right in negotiated acquisitions to discuss the subcontracting plan after receipt of any best and final offer, in which case such discussion shall not constitute a re-opening of negotiations.

(d) Failure to submit and, if applicable, negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan which, in the judgment of the Procuring

Contracting Officer, provides the maximum practicable opportunity for small business and small disadvantaged business concerns to participate in the awarded contract shall render the Offeror ineligible for award. Offerors should be aware of the statutory goal that has been placed on the Department of Defense to award five percent of its total planned subcontracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses (to include Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions) at the prime contract and subcontract levels. As required by this Congressional mandate, large businesses shall provide specific explanation as a part of any written subcontracting plan furnished in response to this solicitation/contract that identifies a goal for subcontracting to small disadvantaged business concerns and/or Historically Black Colleges and Universities and/or Minority Institutions that, in the aggregate, amounts to less than five percent of the proposal's total subcontracting dollars.

************ End of Narrative L.20 ************

L.23 Offerors Quality Assurance System

(a) This solicitation will result in a contract that will require the Contractor to use a quality-assurance system to ensure the quality of the contract items.

(b) To allow DLA Land Warren to analyze your proposed quality system, especially if that system is not based on a national or international standard, you must identify your system as part of your response to this solicitation.

(1) If the Government is requiring ISO 9001:2015 (tailored: delete paragraph 7.3) where you will be required to supply conforming product to an established design, and your quality system conforms to ISO 9002, MIL-I-45208 or another comparable specification or standard, this is sufficient description: you need not further describe your quality system in response to this

12 16

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

solicitation.

(2) If the Government is requiring ISO 9001:2015 (untailored) where your capability to design and supply conforming product needs to be demonstrated, and your quality system conforms to ISO 9001, MIL-Q-9858, or another comparable specification or standard, this is sufficient description: you do not need to further describe your quality system in your response to this solicitation.

Note: If the Government is requiring ISO 9001:2015 (untailored), quality systems conforming to ISO 9002 or MIL-I-45208 or comparable quality systems are not acceptable for this contract.

(3) If your quality system does not conform to any of the standards listed immediately above, identify the name of the quality system you intend to use and provide a description of your proposed system in enough detail to let us assess its suitability for use in performing the resulting contract. This is of particular importance if your proposed system is unique, using quality control methods and techniques that your company has developed in-house.

(4) If you provide a description of your quality system, make sure that your description covers how your system:

(i) Achieves defect prevention, and

(ii) Provides process control, and

(iii) Ensures adequate quality controls throughout all areas of contract performance.

If some of the features of your system are described in other forms (brochures, for example, or articles), you may attach a copy of such items to your response to this solicitation. If your system is described in a textbook or publication that is available from a commercial or academic distributor, include a reference to the publication by author, title, copyright date, and publisher in your system description. You need not physically attach a copy of a textbook to your offer.

(c) If you already described your quality system as an attachment to another DLA Land Warren solicitation within the previous 90 days, you can either send us another copy, or simply identify the number of the previous solicitation.

(d) If you do not provide us a description of your quality system, or if the description you send does not show all of the required features as stated in paragraph (b) above, your offer may be ineligible for contract award.

************ End of Narrative L.23 ************

L.1 Contract Price Reduction for Waiver of First Article Test (FAT)

(a) All offerors are required to insert an amount for 0001AA which includes the full price for FAT.

(b) In addition, those offerors intending to request a waiver of the First Article approval requirement, as described elsewhere in this Section L, shall insert the total price for FAT under Item 0001AB (See Section B of this solicitation). If the successful Offeror requests and is granted a FAT waiver, the dollar amount entered for item 0001AB will be deducted from the total amount cited for 0001AA.

The remaining dollar amount will constitute the price at which award will be made.

************ End of Narrative L.1 ************

L.17 Caution Concerning the Pricing of First Article Approval

The Government cautions entering prices for first article items and for production items that reflect a fair apportionment of total contract costs, based upon the value received for those items. The Government has a right to reject an offer if it is materially unbalanced as to price. An offer is materially unbalanced as to price when, in the judgment of the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), it cites prices that are significantly less than cost for some work, and significantly more than cost for other work.

************ End of Narrative L.17 ************

L.18 Destinations for Option Quantities

To compute a price for any option quantity, assume you will be shipping a proportional share of the option quantity to each destination scheduled to receive shipments of the same item under the basic contract. For example, if the basic contract involves one third of the quantity to go to destination X, and two thirds to destination Y, assume those same percentages will apply to any option quantities the Government will exercise.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

************ End of Narrative L.18 ************

L.19 Packaging Level for Option Quantities

For purposes of computing a price for the option quantity specified in Section B of this solicitation and unless otherwise indicated in Section B, it is understood and agreed that the option unit price includes the same level(s) of packing/packaging as those that apply to the basic contract quantity.

************ End of Narrative L.19 ************

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.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.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.

(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.

14 16

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(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.

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:
