On Time Delivery Improvement
In accordance with the 448th Supply Chain Management Wing (448th SCMW), Air Force Sustainment Center Contracting Directorate (AFSC/OK) and Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Aviation Contracting OnTime Delivery (OTD) Improvement Initiative.
DLA Contracting has established the following OTD requirements with the intent to improve OTD.
As detailed in section B of the Solicitation, the government has developed a Required Delivery Schedule (RDS), which is reflective of the customer need date as well as projected Production Lead Time (PLT). The government RDS considered such factors as historical data and active contracts. In developing your response, the government requests your company review the RDS provided and propose an achievable delivery schedule based on your internal PLT review.
With input from suppliers, the Contracting Officer may negotiate an updated RDS representative of all factors stated above along with any new information that may become available.

SECTION F
DELIVERIES OR PERFORMANCE
52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY (JUN 1997)
(IAW FAR 11.404(a)(2))
(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:
DELIVERY FOR EACH ITEM IS ANNOTATED IN THE SCHEDULE (PART I SECTION B) UNDER EACH LINE ITEM.
The Government will evaluate equally, as regards time of delivery, offers that propose delivery of each quantity within the applicable delivery period specified above. Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.
ANNOTATE YOUR PROPOSED DELIVERY, IF ANY, UNDER THE GOVERNMENT’S DELIVERY SET FORTH UNDER EACH ITEM IN THE
SCHEDULE.
(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.
52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY -- ALTERNATE I (APR 1984)
(IAW FAR 11.404(a)(2))
If the delivery schedule is expressed in terms of specific calendar dates or specific periods and is based on an assumed date of award, the contracting officer may substitute the following paragraph (b) for paragraph (b) of the basic clause. The time may be expressed by substituting "on or before"; "during the months ..."; or "not sooner than ... or later than ..." as headings for the third column of paragraph (a) the basic clause.
(b) The delivery dates or specific periods above are based on the assumption that the Government will make award by 00 0000 . Each delivery date in the delivery schedule above will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the contract is in fact awarded. Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror results in a binding contract.
Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails.

(b) One or more qualification requirements apply to the supplies or services covered by this contract. For those supplies or services requiring qualification, whether the covered product or service is an end item, the product, manufacturer, or source must have demonstrated that it meets the standards prescribed for qualification before award of this contract. The product, manufacturer, or source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.

(d) Even though a product or service subject to a qualification requirement is not itself an end item under this contract, the product, manufacturer, or source must nevertheless be qualified at the time of award of this contract. This is necessary whether the Contractor or a subcontractor will ultimately provide the product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate this contract for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the Government's best interests.
(e) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product, or service has met the qualification requirement but is not yet on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list, the offeror must submit evidence of qualification prior to award of this contract. Unless determined to be in the Government's interest, award of this contract shall not be delayed to permit an offeror to submit evidence of qualification.
(f) Any change in location or ownership of the plant where a previously qualified product or service was manufactured or performed requires reevaluation of the qualification. Similarly, any change in location or ownership of a previously qualified manufacturer or source requires reevaluation of the qualification. The reevaluation must be accomplished before the date of award.
