*** End of Narrative A0000 ***

Amendment 0004 is being issued to provide quantities for all production Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for the Rental Equivalent_______________

Evaluation Factor, and to make a correction to the method of calculating the Evaluated Royalty amount in the Solicitation. As a result, the following have been modified:

1. Section L-15, Clause 52.245-4003, Use and Rental of Government Property, paragraph (3) has been revised to add Maximum Quantities for each of the 18 CLINs. Also, Clause 52.245-4003 has been updated to the latest version dated June 2016 (previous version was dated

January 2014).

2. Section L.3.3.2, Table for Rental Equivalent Evaluation Factor, for use in calculating the amount of rent that would otherwise be charged in accordance with FAR 52.245-9, Use and Charges, has been revised to add quantities for each of the CLINs for the M2 Flexed, M2

Fixed and M2A1 Machine Guns.

3. Section M.3.6.3 Evaluated Royalty Amount has been revised to reflect that the correct royalty fee is 1.65% (instead of 5%), and applies to the total price (instead of a portion of) the M2A1 Machine Gun.

4. All other terms and conditions remain the same and in effect.

L-1 CHANGED 52.245-4003 USE AND RENTAL OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY (LS6020) JUN/2016

(a) For competitive and non-competitive acquisitions, as defined in FAR 52.245-1(f)(1)(i)-(x), the offeror/contractor shall submit with their offer/proposal a Property Management Plan which describes how the offeror plans to manage any Government

Property that may currently be in their possession and/or may be provided to them under this resultant contract based on the areas of Acquisition of Property; Receipt of Government Property; Records of Government Property; Physical Inventory; Subcontractor

Control; Reports; Relief of Stewardship Responsibility and Liability; Utilizing Government Property; Maintenance; and Property

Closeout. This includes any customary commercial practices, voluntary consensus standards, or industry leading practices and standards that the offeror may use.

(b) For competitive acquisitions, pursuant to FAR 45.201(b), the contractor is responsible for all costs related to making the

Government property available for use, such as payment of all transportation, installation or rehabilitation costs.

(c) For competitive acquisitions, in accordance with FAR 45.202(a), the Government shall consider any potentially unfair competitive advantage that may result from an offeror using Government property. To eliminate the competitive advantage, a rental equivalent evaluation factor shall be added to each offer which is predicated on the use of Government property which the offeror or ______________________________________________________________________________________ its subcontractors has in their possession. Pursuant to FAR 45.201(c), such offerors, including prospective subcontractors, are__________________________________________ required to submit the following with their offer:

(1) A list including a description of all Government property that the prime contractor and/or its subcontractors propose to use on a rent-free basis. The list shall identify the accountable contract under which the property is held and the authorization for its use (from the contracting officer having cognizance of the property);

(2) The dates during which the property will be available for use (including the first, last, and all intervening months) and, for any property that will be used concurrently in performing two or more contracts, the amounts of the respective uses in sufficient detail to support prorating the rent;

(3) The amount of rent that would otherwise be charged in accordance with FAR http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/52_237.htm Use and Charges.

(4) A description of the offerors property management system.

(5) Provide calculations and rationale for Government property in accordance with FAR clause 52.245-9 for rental adjustment purposes for the entire period of contract performance. Show calculations for [insert level of detail required for your specific solicitation, such as each ordering period or base period and each option period or each CLIN]. [If your solicitation contains quantity ranges, include the remainder of this subparagraph and insert a chart which details the quantities the offerors shall use for computing the rental cost of the

Government property. See example below. When the price evaluation methodology includes application of weights that are not disclosed to the offerors in the solicitation, care must be taken when determining the appropriate quantities for the chart so as not to disclose the weightings and evaluation methodology and to ensure the offer is not under or over evaluated by utilizing quantities too low or too high in computing the rental costs. If your solicitation does not include quantity ranges, exclude the remainder of this subparagraph.] For purposes of calculating the hours of usage, for items with a single numeric quantity, offerors shall use the quantity stated. For items with a quantity range, the offeror shall use [insert the appropriate quantity that is consistent with the quantity used for the evaluation of price (i.e., the maximum quantity in the highest quantity range)]. For example:

CLIN Item Description Maximum Quantity

0001 Ordering Period 1, M2 Flexed Machine Gun 1,000

0002 Ordering Period 1, M2 Fixed Machine Gun 1,000

M.3.5 FACTOR 4: PAST PERFORMANCE

M.3.5.1 The Offeror and its major/key subcontractors will be evaluated on the quality of their relevant and recent past performance, as it relates to the probability of success on this contract. Both independent data and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used to evaluate the Offerors past performance.

M.3.5.2 For the purpose of evaluating proposals, recent is defined as occurring within the following time standards: 1) occurring within the past 5 years, or 2) awarded earlier than 5 years ago, but for which deliveries occurred or were scheduled to occur within the past five years. However, the Government may evaluate any performance in the period subsequent from the closing date, but prior to the date of award. Relevant is defined as contracts demonstrating technical/management capabilities the same as or similar to those required to perform on this item. Major/key subcontractors are defined as those that will be providing critical hardware or whose subcontract is for more than 25% of the unit price.

M.3.5.3 This evaluation will encompass all aspects of schedule, performance and supportability, including the Offerors detailed record of: 1) compliance of products, services, documents, and related deliverables to specification requirements and standards of good workmanship; 2) commitment to customer satisfaction and business-like concern for customers interest, and 3) timeliness of performance for services and product deliverables, including the administrative aspects of performance.

M.3.5.4 Based on the Offerors previous and current experience and performance on same or similar items (maximum 5 years) including the frequency of cost growths and schedule delays, the Government will assess those risks associated with the Offerors past performance.

The Government will focus its inquiry of the Offerors record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, and quality of product, timeliness of performance, business practices, and customer significant achievement. Offerors are cautioned that the Government may use data obtained from other sources.

M.3.5.5 Past Performance Factor Ratings:

The evaluation will result in a single rating. A rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable will be assigned to the Offerors past performance submission.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

| Rating | Description |

| Acceptable | Based on the Offerors performance record, the Government |

| | has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will |

| | successfully perform the required effort or the Offerors |

| | performance record is unknown. |

| Unacceptable | Based on the Offerors performance record, the Government |

| | has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be |

| | able to successfully perform the required effort. |

NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of Acceptability/Unacceptability, unknown shall be considered Acceptable. Additionally, an unacceptable past performance will be considered any information that supports a less than satisfactory rating from sources where the information is from informal rating systems such as PPIRS or FAPPIS.

M.3.6 FACTOR 5: PRICE

M.3.6.1 Prices proposed in Section B of the solicitation will be utilized to compute a total evaluated price in the performance of a price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). However, if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, a cost analysis may be performed per FAR 15.404-1(c).

M.3.6.2 A price evaluation will be conducted by totaling the weighted evaluated firm-fixed prices for all CLINs (i.e. production) for all ordering periods. For CLINs with a single numeric quantity, the weighted evaluated price will be calculated by multiplying the proposed firm-fixed unit price by the set quantity by the weighted percent. For CLINs with multiple quantity ranges, a weighted evaluated price will be calculated. The weighted evaluated price will be calculated as follows:

12 14

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

1) The evaluated quantity for each quantity range will be the maximum quantity within that range.

2) The evaluated quantity will be multiplied by the proposed firm-fixed unit price to determine the evaluated amount for each quantity range.

3) The evaluated amount will be multiplied by the weighted percent per quantity range to derive the weighted evaluated price per quantity range. The weighted evaluated price will be rounded to the nearest hundredth (two (2) decimal points).

4) The weighted evaluated prices per quantity range will be summed for all quantity ranges within each production CLIN to compute a total weighted evaluated price for each CLIN.

5) The total weighted evaluated price for each CLIN will be multiplied by the weight per weapon system to derive the weighted evaluated price for each CLIN. The weighted evaluated price will be rounded to the nearest hundredth (two decimal places).

M.3.6.3 Evaluated Royalty Amount. In accordance with the license agreement between the U.S. Government and General Dynamics Ordnance and Tactical Systems (GD-OTS), a 1.65% royalty fee will apply to the M2A1 Machine Gun. Therefore, an evaluated royalty amount will be added to the M2A1 Machine Gun total evaluated price (TEP) of Offerors other than GD-OTS. The royalty price adjustment will be calculated by applying a royalty rate of 1.65% of the price of each M2A1 Machine Gun. The royalty price adjustment will be calculated as follows:

Royalty Adjustment Amount

| | Weighted | | |

| | Evaluted Price | | |

| | for M2A1 | | Evaluted |

| Ordering | Machine Gun | Royalty | Royalty |

| Period | Production Units | % | Amount* |

| O.P. 1 | $13,757,177.50 | | |

| O.P. 2 | $13,894,749.28 | | |

| O.P. 3 | $14,033,696.77 | | |

| O.P. 4 | $14,174,033.74 | | |

| O.P. 5 | $14,315,774.08 | | |

| O.P. 6 | $14,458,931.82 | | |

| TOTAL | $84,634,363.19 | 1.65% | $1,396,466.99 |

*Rounded to the nearest hundredth (two (2) decimal places.

NOTE: The unit prices contained in the sample above were fabricated for demonstration purposes only and in no way reflect the unit____ prices the Government expects to pay.

The weighted evaluated prices for the M2A1 Machine Gun for all ordering periods will be summed to derive the Total Weighted Evaluated

Price. The Total Weighted Evaluated Price for the M2A1 Machine Gun units will be multiplied by the 1.65% royalty to calculate the

Evaluated Royalty Amount for the M2A1 Machine Guns.

M.3.6.4 If Government Property is proposed for use in performance of any contract resulting from the solicitation, the total evaluated price will be adjusted to include a rental equivalent Factor for each item of such property calculated in accordance with FAR clause

52.245-9. This adjustment will apply for the use of Government property by the Offeror as well as any subcontractor thereto. The value of the Offerors proposed Government Property will also be evaluated for cost realism.

C.6.5 Price Evaluation Preference for HUBZone Small Business Concerns: If a HUBZone certified small business concern submits an offer in response to the solicitation, in accordance with FAR 52.219-4, when applicable and as required by the provision, an adjustment will be made by adding the applicable factor(s) to the price of other offers.

M.3.6.6 The total evaluated price will be the sum of the weighted evaluated price for the production quantities, the evaluated royalty amount (for Offerors other than GD-OTS) and, if applicable, a rental equivalent Factor for the value of any Government Property and the price evaluation preferences for HUBZone Small Business Concerns, when applicable.
