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.

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.4.3 Volume III FACTOR 3: PRICE

L.4.3.1 The Offerors shall submit pricing in the Pricing Matrix, Attachment 0001 of the solicitation for the FFP Production and FAT

(Initial and Subsequent), Inert and Cutaways Fuzes CLINs, for all ordering periods and for all specified quantities reflected in the

Pricing Matrix. Each Offeror must propose a FFP price for Initial FAT and Subsequent FAT in each ordering period, and FFP unit prices for the specified quantities for the M734A1 and M783 Production, Inert Fuzes and Cutaways CLINs as reflected in the Pricing Matrix. All unit prices proposed shall be inclusive of all fabricating, testing, inspection, packaging and delivery of the solicited item.

L.4.3.1.1 FFP unit prices for the Production CLINs shall be proposed separately for the M734A1 and the M783 to reflect (i) a unit price for each specified quantity for the components and associated costs that are Common to both the M734A1 and M783 Fuzes and (ii) a separate unit price for the costs that are Unique to each Fuze, as shown in the Pricing Matrix (Production Unit Prices worksheet).

L.4.3.1.1.1 Based upon the unit prices proposed for the specified quantities for the Production CLINs, corresponding pricing curve formulae will be automatically calculated separately for the Common and Unique pricing for each Fuze as detailed in Section L of the solicitation and the formulae will be reflected in the applicable cell in the Pricing Matrix. Offerors shall not change or edit the curve formulae provided in the Pricing Matrix. Any alteration of the formulae for the pricing curve may result in the Offerors proposal being rejected.

L.4.3.1.2 Due to the low quantities anticipated, separate pricing for the Common components for the Inert and Cutaway Fuzes is not required.

L.4.3.1.3 Failure to provide a price for all required CLINs or separate unit prices for Common and Unique components for the Production

CLINs for all ordering periods may result in the offer not being considered for award.

L.4.3.1.4 The resultant curve formulae will be incorporated in to the awarded contract(s) and utilized on future delivery orders to calculate a unit price when quantities other than the specified quantity points are ordered.

L.4.3.1.5 Delivery Orders will be issued in accordance with the procedures for Future Delivery Orders as stated in Section H of the solicitation.

L.4.3.2 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. Offerors shall propose the per unit values of Government property for the Production, Inert and Cutaway Fuzes for each quantity 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 values were derived and documentation supporting the rental charges in sufficient detail to permit verification of the rental charges and evaluation of the per unit rental values.

L.4.3.3 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.4.4 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 in accordance with L.4.3. This price becomes the denominator and include first-tier subcontractors

only. For the purpose of evaluating Small Business Participation, the total contract price is determined in accordance with Section

L.3. 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 small businesses (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. U.S. small business concerns are defined (1) in FAR 19.001 and (2) by the criteria and size standards in FAR 19.102 for the applicable NAICS code. U.S. small business concerns include Small Businesses (SBs), Small Disadvantaged

Businesses (SDBs), Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), HUBZone Small Businesses (HUBZone SBs), Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (VOSBs), and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).

L.4.4.4 If the Offeror (to include any U.S. small business concerns who are proposing as part of a joint venture or teaming arrangement) is itself a U.S. small business concern, the Offeror's own participation as a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, or SDVOSB will also be considered small business participation for the purpose of this evaluation. In this event, the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. small business concern shall be detailed in the same manner as subcontracts to first-tier U.S. small business concerns.

L.4.4.5 Small Business Amounts: All Offerors shall address anticipated U.S. small business concern participation and subcontracting based on the total contract dollars proposed by the Offeror.

L.4.4.6 The Offeror shall provide information for small business participation and subcontracting in a table format in accordance with the following example:

Small Business Participation Table (in Millions)

| Business Category | $ Cost All Contracts | % of SB Participation | Cost Total SubK |

| Contract Total Price | $43.00 | | |

| SB | $10.34 | 24.00% | $10.34 of $43.00 |

| SDB | $2.86 | 6.65% | $2.86 of $43.00 |

| SDB | $2.36 | 5.50% | $2.36 of $43.00 |

| WOSB | $1.55 | 3.60% | $1.55 of $43.00 |

| HUBZone SB | $1.08 | 2.50% | $1.08 of $43.00 |

| VOSB | $1.55 | 3.60% | $1.55 of $43.00 |

| SDVOSB | $1.46 | 3.40% | $1.46 of $43.00 |

L.4.4.6.1 Guidance for filling in the above "Small Business Participation" Table:

(a) Include first-tier subcontractors only. Note that members of a joint venture may be considered the Offeror or the first tier subcontractors, depending on the legal form of the joint venture as defined in its agreement document.

(b) If the Offeror is a U.S. small business concern, detail the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. small business concern in the same manner as subcontracts to first tier U.S. small business concerns.

(c) Percentages should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

L.4.4.6.2 Additional Guidance for particular Business Categories:

(a) For "Contract Total Price": Include the Offeror's proposed Total Contract Price on this line.

(b) For SB: Include U.S. small business concerns from all categories (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSB and in the dollars and percentage on this line. The SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB are subcategories of SB and the dollars in each of these may not add to match the total dollars in the SB line due to the following: In some cases the same dollars may be reported in more than one block (i.e., a $10,000 subcontract to a Woman-Owned Small Business that is also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business should be entered on four rows: $10,000 under SB, $10,000 under WOSB, $10,000 under VOSB and $10,000 under SDVOSB). Be sure that the dollars are counted in the SB line only once and not four times (e.g. $40,000 representing the same firm participating at $10,000 in differing categories). Note that the SB percentage is not simply a total of the percentages of each SB subcategory and must be calculated separately as shown in the chart.

(c) For HUBZone SB: Include only "SBA certified" HubZone SBs. Note that this is different from some of the state HUB certifications.

L.4.4.7 Small Business List: All Offerors shall provide the names and CAGE codes of small business concerns (including the Offeror if a small business concern) who would participate in accomplishing the proposed contract; the small business classification of each U.S.

small business concern (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB); a short description of the specific services to be provided by each small business concern; and the estimated total dollars for each service or product.

a. This data shall be provided in a table format in accordance with the following example:

| Name of SB Concern | Cage Code | Location | SB Class | Description of Supplies or Services | Total $ (in Millions) |

| ABC Co. | 123XX | City, USA | SB | Wire | $0.50 |

| DEF Co. | XX123 | City, USA | SB | Plating | $0.75 |

| GHI, Inc. | DD123 | City, USA | SB, WOSB, VOSB | Circuit Cards | $1.20 |

b. If a small business does not have a CAGE code, insert the word "None" in the table above. Note that during the evaluation, the

Government may request that the Offeror submit a letter from the small business affirming the information provided in your proposal.

c. For SB Classifications(s), list all SB classifications that apply to each concern in the table above.

L.4.4.8 If the Offeror IS NOT a U.S. small business concern and must submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan under the RFP in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be consistent with the Offeror's Small Business Participation proposal information provided in response to L.4.4.5 (recognizing that the Small Business Subcontracting Plan percentages will be different in that the percentage calculation denominator is total subcontracting amount as opposed to this Small Business Participation

Factor where the percentage calculation denominator is the Offeror's proposed Contract Target Price).

L.4.4.9 Compliance with FAR 52.219-9.

L.4.4.9.1 Offerors which are both: (a) other than U.S. small business concerns (as defined by the NAICS code applicable to the RFP), and

(b) have had prior contracts requiring the submission of a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 are to:

Provide a description of their performance in complying with the requirements of FAR 52.219-9, including documentation of both their goals and their accomplishment of the goals established under subcontracting plans of prior contracts performed over the past twelve

(12) months (from date of solicitation issuance). This documentation shall include Individual Subcontracting Reports (ISRs/DD Form 294s) which list both goals and accomplishments against individual or master plans. If over the last twelve (12) months from the date of RFP release, the Offeror reported accomplishments against commercial or comprehensive subcontracting plans in lieu of individual or master plans, the Offeror shall submit the plans to document the goals and the Summary Subcontract Reports (SSRs/DD Form 295s) to document the accomplishments. (Note: if the Offeror has not performed a contract over the past twelve (12) months, which included FAR 52.219-9, the

Offeror shall so state).

L.4.4.9.2 Offerors which have had prior contracts requiring a Small Business Subcontracting Plan IAW FAR 52.219-9 and provide the information requested in L.4.4.9.1 above shall not respond to L.4.4.10 below.

L.4.4.9.3 If the reporting entity listed on a subcontracting report is different from the name of the proposing prime, provide an explanation of the legal relationship between the other entity and the proposing prime and a description of how the other entity's small business accomplishments reported are applicable to the current proposal. This explanation should include Business Name, CAGE Code and

DUNS number of the other entity and the proposing prime.

L.4.4.10 Approach to meeting FAR 52.219-8. Offerors which are either U.S. small business concerns, or other than U.S. small business concerns (as defined by the NAICS code applicable to the RFP) having had no prior contracts requiring a Small Business Subcontracting

Plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 shall substantiate their proposed approach to meeting the requirement of FAR 52.219-8.

Substantiation may include providing:

(a) A description of the Offeror's performance, over the past twelve (12) months (from date of solicitation issuance), in complying with the requirements of FAR 52.219-8 (Note: if the Offeror has not performed a contract over the past twelve (12) months (from date of solicitation issuance), which included FAR 52.219-8, the Offeror shall so state);

(b) A description and available documentation of any methods or techniques used to promote small business participation;

(c) Any listings of U.S. small business concerns who are subcontracting candidates;

(d) Internal procedures used to monitor small business participation during contract performance; and/or

(e) Any other information substantiating that the Offeror will satisfy the requirements of FAR 52.219-8.

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.

(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

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

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.
