PRODUCT DETAILS DESCRIPTION

The Air Drop Kit will be packed in Pelican brand name, or equal, hard plastic, watertight container(s) with custom foam inserts made of 6# polyethylene. The container(s) also serves as a long term storage container, therefore, the container(s) shall provide weather-tight security for when the container is on board a ship or stored in the open.

The container(s) shall be the most cost effective using commercially-available or standard-sized containers, be of minimum cube, and consist of the minimum containers to hold and protect all the items. It is anticipated that approximately 2 (two) containers will be required to fit the complete set of Air Drop Kit components. Custom-size containers require prior Government approval to be used for the Air Drop Kit.

Container(s) must have handles.

Each container will have integrated fork lift pockets or cut-outs for fork tines to accommodate lifting via warehouse forklifts, rough terrain forklifts, or pallet jacks, if practicable.

If integrated forklift pockets are not available, the containers shall be secured to pallets in a way that will allow the pallets to be re-used as the Air Drop kits primary means of transportation. All palletizing shall be done in accordance with MIL-STD-147, standard pallets of 48”L x 40”W are preferable where permissable. It is desired that one Air Drop Kit SET of containers will fit on one pallet; one container per pallet will be acceptable while staying IAW MIL-STD-147. Pallets shall be chosen that are corrosion and rot resistant, designed for permanent use and re-use and made of materials that can be recycled at the end of their useful life. Pallets shall be configured for easy handling with a fork lift truck, providing entry points on all four sides. Wooden pallets must be heat treated in accordance with DOD 4140.65-M. Tie down onto pallets shall be by methods other than steel strapping that requires a banding machine and band cutter for tie down and removal. Tie down devices shall have built-in tensioning features, shall be indefinitely reusable, and shall be included with each SET.

If integrated forklift pockets or cutouts are available, the contractor shall package and ship the items by the most cost effective means.

Marking of each container shall be in accordance with MIL-STD-129R.

(a) The approved first article items, as described elsewhere in this contract, consist of a quantity of 2 Sets that will be consumed or destroyed in testing. Any items consumed or destroyed in testing shall not be delivered as part of the contractually required quantity as set forth in the schedule. The cost of any items that are consumed or destroyed shall be included in the overall offer or contract price. A quantity of 2 Sets that successfully passes all specified tests, less the destructive tests, if any, 2 Sets serve as a manufacturing standard for the remainder of the contract.

A manufacturing standard will serve as 1) an aid in identifying configuration changes not controlled by the contractual design. 2) as an aid in identifying any process changes, or 3) as the approved workmanship sample, when required, unless alternate samples are submitted for specific characteristics by the Contractor and approved by the Government.

(c) The manufacturing standard will only be used to supplement contractual acceptance/rejection criteria for those process characteristics that require approved workmanship samples. For other characteristics, if configuration or process changes are identified in production units, the contractor will notify the contracting officer for disposition. Manufacturing items that serve as a manufacturing standard may be delivered as part of the contractual quantity with the last shipment made under this contract provided it meets all contractual requirements existing at time of delivery.

52.209-4006 (TACOM)

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST REQUIREMENT (JUL 2000)

(a) If the offeror submits a request for waiver of First Article Testing but fails to comply with the requirements of the provision entitled PROVISION FOR WAIVER, the requested waiver may not be granted. If the waiver is not granted, more favorable alternative offers of price or delivery, conditioned upon the granting of a waiver, will not be considered in the evaluation process.

(b) DELIVERY EVALUATION FACTORS

(1) As specified in this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement entitled FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL, and will require an accelerated delivery schedule if the successful offeror is granted such a waiver. However, in no case will a delivery schedule predicated upon waiver of the First Article Test requirement be considered as an evaluation factor for award, even if such a schedule would be more advantageous to the Government.

(2) If an offeror requests waiver of First Article Testing but takes exception to the accelerated delivery schedule set forth in the Section F clause entitled DELIVERY SCHEDULE (52.242-4022, TACOM) herein, such offeror is not eligible for the requested waiver. In consequence, any award to that offeror will reflect either (i) the Government-proposed delivery schedule shown in that same clause, or (ii) the contractor-proposed schedule in that clause, if the Government has accepted it.

(c) PRICE EVALUATION FACTORS. As specified in this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement in Section E entitled FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL, and requests the price of the proposed First Article Test (at Section B, Item -1-) from offerors who elect to seek such a waiver. In the event that the offeror requests and receives a waiver of First Article Test requirements, the price for such testing, as identified by the offeror in Section B, Item -2-, shall be deducted from the total price otherwise cited for the materiel herein solicited. The offer will then be evaluated for award at the resulting alternate price.

(1) If the offeror requests a waiver of First Article Test requirements, but fails to separately identify the cost of First Article Testing in Section B, Item -3- of this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to evaluate the offer based upon the price for -4-, and to require that offeror perform on the contract at such price whether or not the First Article Requirement is waived, at no additional cost to the Government.

(2) If the offeror requests but is not granted a waiver of First Article Testing, evaluation for award will be based upon the full amount entered for -5-: the amount entered for item -6- will not be deducted by the Government.

52.209-4007 (TACOM)
