F-1 CHANGED 52.211-8 TIME OF DELIVERY JUN/1997

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

* The required delivery schedule for the base award quantity is provided in Section B. The delivery dates are based on First

Article Test approval.

* Options 1-4:

Any First Article Testing shall be IAW Section J Attachment 0011, Contract Quality Requirements - First Article Test (Government

Testing and Contractor Testing).

The first delivery of an Option production quantity is required to be delivered no sooner than 60 days after FAT approval, or 60 days after Option exercise if FAT is not required. Production is anticipated to be required at a rate of 15,000 units per month.

* Early deliveries are acceptable upon notification to the PCO at no additional cost to the Government. However it is incumbent upon the Contractor to monitor GFM quantities to support the required delivery schedule per Section B of the 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.

OFFEROR'S 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

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.

(e) If the production lot sample contains samples for ballistic testing, the test samples shall be identified as such on the outer packs and the applicable Ballistic Test Request (BTR) number shall be stenciled on all outer packs and included on all shipping documents.

(f) The Contracting Officer shall by written notice to the Contractor within 30 days after receipt of the sample units by the government, approve, disapprove, or conditionally approve the lot acceptance sample.

(g) If the production lot sample fails to meet applicable requirements, the Contractor may be required at the option of the Government, to submit an additional production lot test sample for test. When notified by the Government to submit an additional production lot test sample, the Contractor shall at no additional cost to the Government make any necessary changes, modifications, or repairs and select another sample for testing.

L.4.2.2. IAW 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. Offerors shall propose the per unit value of Government property for each CLIN/quantity range in accordance with FAR 52.245-9, Use and Charges, in the Price Matrix attachment to the solicitation. Offerors shall provide detailed calculations demonstrating how the per unit rental value was derived and documentation supporting the rental charges in sufficient detail to permit verification of the rental charges and evaluation of the per unit rental value. To calculate the rental values, Offerors shall use the stated quantity for CLINs with a single quantity and the maximum quantity within each quantity range for CLINS with multiple quantity ranges.

L.4.2.3. Unbalanced Pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or ___________________ more line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. The greatest risks associated with unbalanced pricing occur when (a) Startup work, mobilization, first articles, or first article testing are separate line items; (b) Base quantities and option quantities are separate line items; or (c) The evaluated price is the aggregate of estimated quantities to be ordered under separate line items of an indefinite-delivery contract. Offerors shall provide documentation, including data, calculations and supporting rationale, for any apparent unbalanced pricing which will be used to determine if the proposed prices are balanced.

L.4.3. Volume III - FACTOR 3: PAST PERFORMANCE _______________________________________

L.4.3.1. Offerors shall identify pertinent past history, which indicates that similar efforts of equal or greater complexity have been performed using the Offeror's existing plant capability and demonstrate satisfaction of customer requirements.

The Government plans to rely on existing documentation from Federal databases to the maximum extent practicable. Sources of existing information available to the Government include, but are not limited to, PPIRS, FAPIIS, and Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS). The

Government may use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror.

L.4.4. Volume IV - FACTOR 4: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION __________________________________________________

L.4.4.1. The Small Business Participation Factor Volume is comprised of a single chapter. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient detail to permit a complete evaluation. Any information provided as part of the Small Business

Participation Factor Volume may be used to correlate the evaluation of the other proposal volumes.

L.4.4.2. This provision applies to every Offeror (U.S. and non-U.S.), regardless of size status or locations of working facilities or headquarters. For proposal preparation purposes, the Offeror's Small Business Participation proposals shall be consistent with any subcontracting references/identification contained elsewhere in any other Factor Volume. Percentages are calculated using proposed total contract price as calculated IAW L.4.2. This price becomes the denominator and includes first-tier subcontractors only. For the purpose of evaluating Small Business Participation, the total contract price is determined by multiplying the unit price for a single 120mm M931 FRPC from Option 2, range 8,000-35,000 times 963,728, which is the estimated maximum number of 120mm M931 FRPC, and multiplying the unit price for a single 120mm M933A1 / M934A1 HE from Option

2, range 8,000-15,000 times 237,800, which is the estimated maximum number of 120mm M933A1 / M934A1 HE to be purchased on this contract, and adding both totals. Offerors shall also explain their rationale as to why the percentage of SB participation being utilized for this effort is appropriate for their company. Offerors shall describe their approach and efforts undertaken to utilize SB. SB targets will be incorporated into any resulting prime contract and contractors will be required to report SB participation.

L.4.4.3. All Offerors, including Offerors who are themselves U.S. small business concerns based on the NAICS code assigned to this requirement, are to identify the extent to which U.S. small business concerns will be utilized as first-tier subcontractors in the performance of this proposed contract.
