REWORK AND REPAIR OF NONCONFORMING MATERIAL ES7012

(a) Rework and Repair are defined as follows:

(1) Rework - The reprocessing of nonconforming material to make it conform completely to the drawings, specifications, or contract requirements.

(2) Repair - The reprocessing of nonconforming material in accordance with approved written procedures and operations to reduce, but not completely eliminate, the nonconformance. The purpose of repair is to bring nonconforming material into a usable condition. Repair is distinguished from rework in that the item after repair still does not completely conform to all of the applicable drawings, specifications, or contract requirements.

(b) Rework procedures along with the associated inspection procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted to the

Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) for review prior to implementation. Rework procedures are subject to the QAR's disapproval.

(c) Repair procedures shall be documented by the Contractor and submitted on a Request for Deviation/Waiver, to the Contracting Officer for review and written approval prior to implementation.

(d) Whenever the Contractor submits a repair or rework procedure for Government review, the submission shall also include a description of the cause for the nonconformances and a description of the action taken or to be taken to prevent recurrence.

(e) The rework or repair procedure shall also contain a provision for re-inspection which will take precedence over the Technical Data

Package requirements and shall, in addition, provide the Government assurance that the reworked or repaired items have met reprocessing requirements.

DRAWINGS FOR INSPECTION ES7042

When requested, the Contractor shall make available to the Government Inspector, the drawings, specifications and any applicable

Engineering Exceptions associated to the drawings, to which the product was manufactured. Upon completion of product inspection and acceptance by the Government Inspector, all drawings, specifications and Engineering Exceptions, will be returned to the Contractor.

If the contractor is not the actual manufacturer of the item being procured (i.e. dealer, distributor, etc.) the contractor shall ensure that subcontractor drawings are available for review to support the Government's inspection requirements.

NOTICE REGARDING FIRST ARTICLE ES7032

a. Notwithstanding the provisions for waiver of first article, an additional first article sample (or portion thereof) may be ordered by the Contracting Officer in writing when (i) a major change is made to the technical data, (ii) whenever there is a lapse in production for a period in excess of one year, or (iii) whenever a change occurs in place of performance, manufacturing process, material used, drawing, specification or source of supply.

b. When any of the conditions above occurs, the contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer so that a determination can be made concerning the need for the additional first article sample (or portion thereof), and instructions can be provided concerning the submission, inspection, and notification of results.

c. Costs of any additional testing and inspection resulting from conditions specified above shall be borne by the contractor, unless the change was directed by the Government. Further, any production delays caused by additional testing and inspection will not be the basis for an excusable delay as defined in the default clause of this contract. Such delays shall not form the basis for adjustment in contract price or delivery schedule.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

NOTICE REGARDING FIRST ARTICLE TEST SAMPLE ES6304

a. The approved first article items, as described elsewhere in this contract, consist of a quantity of one 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 zero that successfully passes all specified tests, less the destructive tests, if any, zero serve as a manufacturing standard for the remainder of the contract.

b. A manufacturing standard is an item, which conforms to all technical performance requirements. 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.

USE OF MIL-STD 1916 ES6019

(a) The Government will not accept lots whose samples submitted for acceptance contain non-conformances unless appropriately documented and approved by the contracting officer. The contractor shall use MIL-STD 1916, DOD Preferred Methods of Acceptance of Product. The

Verification Level (VL) shall be VL IV for major characteristics and VL II for minor characteristics.

(b) MIL-STD HDBK-1916 provides guidance on the use of MIL-STD 1916. This handbook is not contractually binding.

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.

(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.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M PROVISIONS

CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY AND ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD MS6312

a) The Government may award up to ONE contract to the offerors that:

(1) Submit the lowest evaluated offer if award is based on price only, or the offer that provides the best value to the Government if factors in addition to price are identified elsewhere in this solicitation,

(2) Submit a bid or proposal that meets all the material requirements of this solicitation, and

(3) Meet all the responsibility criteria at FAR 9.104.

(b) To make sure that an offeror meets the responsibility criteria at FAR 9.104 the Government may:

(1) Arrange a visit to the offerors plant and perform a preaward survey;

(2) Ask the offeror to provide financial, technical, production, or managerial background information.

(c) If the offeror does not provide the Government with the data requested within 7 days from the date the requested is received, or if the offeror refuses to have an onsite visit to the offerors facility, the Government may determine the offeror to be nonresponsible.

(d) If the Government visits the offerors facility, please make sure that current certified financial statements and other data relevant to the bid or proposal available for Government personnel to review.

METHOD OF PRICE EVALUATION MS7911

The unit price for each year will be multiplied by the estimated annual requirement for the corresponding year, and the results for each year added together to produce the evaluated price for the total maximum quantity. Based on this method of evaluation, award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer represents the lowest evaluated price and represents the Best Value to the Government as outlined elsewhere in this solicitation.

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR FIRST ARTICLE TEST REQUIREMENT - INDEFINITE QUANTITY CONTRACT MS6314

(a) If the offeror submits a request for waiver of First Article Approval but fails to comply with the requirements of Section L, Provision LS7304 Provision for Waiver of Required First Article Approval, 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 -

CONTRACTOR TESTING (FAR 52.209-3). In the event of a waiver, the Government will compute a delivery schedule for the first delivery order issued hereunder by excluding all lead times that would be included if first article approval were required. However, in no event shall such accelerated delivery schedule for the first delivery order be considered as an evaluation factor for award, even if such schedule would be more advantageous to the Government. (Note that delivery orders subsequent to the first order shall have delivery schedules as specified in individual orders, or as specified in Section B or F herein, regardless of whether First Article Approval applied initially. Note further that, absent a waiver, the Government expects to require First Article Approval only once during the course of this contract in conjunction with the first delivery order to be issued hereunder. However, the Government reserves the right to require additional first article testing if the Contractor changes or moves the production facility at which the contract item is manufactured, or submits a significant configuration change in the form of an Engineering Change Proposal (ECP/VECP) or a Request for

13 16

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Variance or Request for Waiver (RFV/RFW), during or after performance on the first delivery order.)

(2) If an offeror requests waiver of First Article Approval but takes exception to the resulting delivery schedule for the first delivery order as described above, the requested waiver will not be granted. In consequence, any award to that offeror shall include all First Article Approval requirements, and the delivery schedule for the first delivery order shall include the appropriate first article lead times.

(c) PRICE EVALUATION FACTORS.

(1) As specified in this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to waive the requirement entitled FIRST ARTICLE APPROVAL

CONTRACTOR TESTING (FAR 52.209-3), and subtract the price of the proposed First Article Test (CLIN 0018) from the proposal of offerors who elect to seek such a waiver. In the event that the offeror requests and receives a waiver of First Article Approval requirements, the price for such testing, as identified by the offeror in CLIN 0018, 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.

(2) If the offeror requests a waiver of First Article Approval requirements, but fails to separately identify the cost of First

Article Testing in CLIN 0018 of this solicitation, the Government reserves the right to evaluate the offer based upon the prices for

CLIN 0011 - 0015, 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.

(3) If the offeror requests but is not granted a waiver of First Article Approval, evaluation for award will be based upon the full amount entered for CLINs 0011 - 0015: the amount entered for item CLIN 0018 will not be deducted by the Government.

Contractor must provide with their proposal, the list of Government Furnished Property (GFP), the acquisition cost, age, and type of GFP.

(b) For purposes of evaluation only, the unit evaluation factors for each classification of property, computed as follows, shall be added by the Government to the price or prices offered. The evaluation factors shall be computed by multiplying the acquisition cost of each item of property by the rental rates specified below, and then multiplying the product obtained by the number of months of use proposed. A minimum of one month of use shall be required for purposes of evaluation. Fractional portions of a month shall be counted as a full month. This final product shall then be divided by the total quantity of units to be produced using such property to determine the unit evaluation factors. The factors shall be separately set forth by the offeror under the offered unit prices.

(c) If any item of property is to be used on other work for which use has been authorized during the period such property is requested for use on any contract resulting from this solicitation, the evaluation factors shall be calculated in accordance with the following:

the acquisition cost of each item of property shall be multiplied by the rental rates specified for the applicable classification of property set forth above, and the product obtained shall then be multiplied by the number of months of rent-free use requested. The resulting product shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the amount of use of the property proposed under this solicitation, and the denominator of which is the sum of the previously-authorized use of the property during the period of proposed use and the use proposed under this solicitation. The final product shall then be divided by the total quantity of units to determine the unit evaluation factor. The measurement unit for determining the amount of use to be considered in establishing the fraction referred to in the foregoing calculation shall be direct labor hours, sales, hours of use, or any other measurement unit which will result in an equitable apportionment of the factor. The measurement unit used and the amount of respective uses in sufficient detail to support the proration shall be set forth for each item of property.
