(a) The Government requires delivery to be made according to the following schedule:

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

ITEM NO. QUANTITY WITHIN DAYS

AFTER DATE OF

CONTRACT

NOTE: DELIVERY SCHEDULE WILL BE DETERMINED WITH EACH DELIVERY ORDER WITH DELIVERIES TO BEGIN____

270 DAYS AFTER DATE OF DELIVERY ORDER CONTRACT.___

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.

OFFERORS PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

ITEM NO. QUANTITY WITHIN DAYS

AFTER DATE OF

CONTRACT

(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

Contractors 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.

L.1.1.3 The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. The burden of proving acceptability remains with the Offerors.

L.1.1.4 The Government intends to award without discussions (see FAR 52.215-1).
