EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Executive Summary is provided as a synopsis of important and relevant features within Solicitation W56HZV-19-R-0079. If conflict exists between this summary and the provisions of the solicitation, the provisions of the solicitation govern.

A.1 Introduction: The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC)- Warren (WRN) plans to acquire eight commercial Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV)

Variants: Flatbed Truck (Left Hand Drive (LHD) & Right Hand Drive (RHD)), Personel Carrier (LHD & RHD), Water Truck (LHD & RHD), Fuel

Truck (LHD & RHD) and spare parts for all variants to meet Foreign Military Sales customers' requirements worldwide. The solicitation and award process will be conducted using Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15 procedures. The supplies required are contained in the solicitation.

A.2 Requirement Description: This is a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirement being solicited as a full and open competition. Funds are available and will be used for a three (3) year requirements contract utilizing a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Source

Selection Process which will result in the award of a single firm-fixed price contract. The successful contractor will be responsible for the design and manufacture of the Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) Variants that meet all technical performance requirements specifications in Attachment 0001 - Specification Water & Fuel HDV Variants; Attachment 0002 - Specification Flatbed & Personel Carrier HDV Variants, as well as all other contractual requirements.

A.3 Competition: This requirement will be solicited full and open and will result in a single firm-fixed price contract award. In accordance with the Non-manufacturer Rule Class Waiver Part 13 CFR 121.1204, NAICS code 336120 assigned to this solicitation is not listed in the Non-manufacturer Rule Class Waiver list; therefore, the solicitation cannot be issued a Small Business set-aside. This requirement is limited to companies whose primary business location is not currently on the prohibited countries list.

A.4 Acquisition Approach: This requirement in support of Foreign Military Sales (FMS) requirements for Heavy Duty Vehicles (HDV)

Variants: Flatbed Truck (Left Hand Drive (LHD) & Right Hand Drive (RHD)), Personel Carrier (LHD & RHD), Water Truck (LHD & RHD), Fuel

Truck (LHD & RHD) and associated spare parts for all variants. ACC-WRN intends to competitively award a commercial, firm-fixed priced

(FFP) three-year Requirements contract following FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation. The subject program will be acquired on a full and open competition basis utilizing lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) procedures to obtain best value for the Government.

Price and Technical factors will be evaluated per Section M.

Please Note: All quantities in Section B are estimates only.

The price factors consist of the Total Evaluated Price, which equals the sum of the proposed prices for all CLINs and the Transportation costs calculated by the Government in accordance with Provisions; "52.247-47 Evaluation FOB Origin, Section M.5 Method of Evaluation for

F.O.B. Origin Transportation Offers, 52.247-51 -Evaluation of Export Offerors and Section M.5.2 - Evaluation of Transportation Costs for

Long Term Contracts.

The Government transportation evaluation will also utilize offeror FAR 52.247-60 - Guaranteed Shipping Characteristics fill-ins. Because the Government does not know the specific quantity-by destination requirements that will apply during the term of this contract, transportation costs will be evaluated by using the ports of Umm Qasr (Destination Iraq)and Mombasa, Kenya (Destination Somalia)as the tentative destinations for all vehicle and spares CLINs. In addition, the Government will also evaluate each proposal for price reasonableness and unbalanced pricing.

The technical factor will be evaluated based upon the completed Technical Information Questionnaire (TIQ) and the substantiating documentation submitted in support of the offerors answers. These Factors and Subfactors will identify the minimum requirements that are key to successful contract performance. All potential offerors must be registered in System Award Management (SAM) prior to proposal evaluation. Any offerors not listed in SAM at that time, will be deemed ineligible and the Government will not evaluate their proposal.

All testing provisions, as set forth in Section E, must be satisfied prior to final acceptance of Vehicles.

Section B includes five data items under Exhibit A; Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs) A001 - A005 located under CLIN 0131. All

CDRLs listed under CLIN 0131 are Non-Separately Priced (NSP).

The Government also retains the right to conduct discussions if necessary.

Government reserves the right to reject any offers submitted that contain exceptions. Offerors are requested to carefully review the

Proposal Submission Requirements (Section L) and Evaluation Criteria (Section M), for understanding of what to submit and how it will be evaluated.

A.8 Responsibility: In order for the U.S. Government to determine that the Offerors are responsible and competent to perform on the contract, Offerors will have to ensure that they are in compliance with the standards listed in FAR 9.104. The U.S. Government may obtain certain information by exercising rights under FAR 9.105. Furthermore, contractors must be registered in the System for Award

Management (SAM) prior to proposal evaluation.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M.1 BASIS FOR AWARD

M.1.1 GENERAL The Government plans to award a Firm Fixed Price, Requirements type contract for the Heavy Duty Vehicle (HDV) Variants program as a result of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to choose not to award a contract if such action is in the

Governments best interest.

M.1.1.1 There are two evaluation factors:

a. Technical Factor

b. Price Factor

M.1.1.2 It is the Governments intent to award single contract. Award will be made using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process IAW FAR 15.101-2, which states award will be made on the basis of the lowest total evaluated priced proposal meeting the acceptability standards for non-cost factors, to an offeror that is eligible for award. The Government will follow the source selection process set forth in Section M.3 below.

M.1.1.3 Award without Discussions: In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (this excludes clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a) which the Government reserves the right to conduct in order to obtain information to support the Pricing and Administrative volumes but shall not be obtained to revise the offerors proposed price or to obtain essential information to determine acceptability of the Technical Volume). Therefore, the offerors initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If discussions are held, they will be conducted with all offerors included in the competitive range.

M.1.2 Eligibility for Award. Award will only be made to an offeror who is eligible for award. To be eligible for award:

a. The offeror must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) (see provision 52.204-7); and

b. The offeror must be rated Acceptable under the Technical Factor; and

c. The offeror must be determined responsible (See Section M.3.5)

M.2 REJECTION OF OFFERS

M.2.1 The Government may reject any proposal if doing so is in the Government's best interest at any time after receipt of proposal.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following proposal conditions:

a. The proposal fails to meaningfully respond to the instructions in Section L of this solicitation (e.g.. fails to respond to all items in Attachment 0003 - TIQ Water & Fuel HDV Variants and Attachment 0004 - TIQ Flatbed & Personel Carrier HDV Variants and Attachment 0006

Critical Components List Water & Fuel HDV Variants and Attachment 0007 Critical Components List Flatbed & Personel Carrier HDV

Variants; fails to provide the required substantiating evidence outlined in the TIQs, fails to submit pricing Attachment 0005 -

Pricing Spreadsheet in accordance with the instructions, fails to follow key proposal instructions or format requirements in Section L;

or fails to provide data and information required in Section L); or

b. When an offerors proposal offers a product or service that does not meet all stated material requirements of the solicitation; or

c. The proposal proposes exceptions to the solicitation requirements, attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or solicitation terms and conditions; or

d. The proposal contains one or more OCIs that cannot be avoided or mitigated. Refer to Section L.3 of this solicitation, "Organizational Conflict of Interest."; or

e. The proposal is unbalanced as to price. See Section M.4.2; or

f. The proposals acceptance period does not meet the Governments required minimum acceptance period (Refer to Section L.1.2)

M.3 SOURCE SELECTION PROCESS

M.3.1 Compliance Review. After receipt of proposals, but prior to the evaluation process, the Government will perform a compliance review of the offerors proposal to determine the extent of compliance to the solicitation instructions, and whether the proposal meets any of the conditions listed in M.2, Rejection of Offerors.

M.3.2 Evaluation Process. This will be a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with (IAW)

FAR 15.101-2, which will follow the following process:

10 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

M.3.2.1. Unless otherwise rejected, proposals will first be sorted by lowest proposed price to highest proposed price. The Government will then conduct transportation evaluations starting with the lowest proposed price. The Government will continue to conduct transportation evaluations until the total evaluated price of an offerors proposal is lower than the next offerors proposed price. Once this point is reached, the Government will stop conducting transportation evaluations. The Government may not conduct a transportation evaluation or calculate the Total Evaluated Price of an offeror if its total proposed price is greater than the lowest Total Evaluated

Price that has been determined to be Technically Acceptable IAW M.3.2.2 below.

M.3.2.2. The Government will then conduct an evaluation of the Technical Factor proposal on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis on the offeror with the lowest Total Evaluated Price. If the lowest total evaluated priced proposal is determined to be Unacceptable or is otherwise ineligible for award, then the Government will conduct a technical evaluation on the next lowest total evaluated priced offeror's proposal. Unless the Government determines it is in its best interests to conduct discussions, the Government will follow this process until the lowest total evaluated price, technically acceptable proposal is identified. The Government may evaluate all technical proposals if discussions are anticipated.

M.3.2.3 The Government will then conduct an assessment of price reasonableness and unbalanced pricing of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror. The Government reserves the right to conduct an additional Technical or Price evaluation(s) on other proposal(s) received in response to this solicitation in order to determine price reasonableness of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer.

M.3.2.4 Pursuant to 52.212-1, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at any time, which would be conducted with all offerors determined to be in the competitive range established in accordance with FAR 15.306(c).

M.3.2.5 Award will be made to the proposal with the lowest Total Evaluated Price which was also rated Acceptable under the Technical

Factor, and is otherwise eligible for award.

M.3.3 Source Selection Authority: The Source Selection Authority (SSA) is the official designated to direct the source selection process and select the offeror for contract award.

M.3.4 Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB): A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) has been established by the Government to evaluate proposals not otherwise rejected in response to this solicitation. The SSEB is comprised of technically qualified individuals who have been selected to conduct this evaluation IAW the Evaluation Criteria for this solicitation.

M.3.5 Determination of Responsibility

Per FAR 9.103, a contract will be placed only with an offeror that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible. Prospective offeror(s), in order to eligible for award for this acquisition, must be able to demonstrate that it meets standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. In addition, the Government may assess the offerors financial ability to meet the solicitation requirements. The

Government reserves the right to conduct a Pre-award Survey on any or all offerors (or its subcontractors) to aid the Contracting

Officer in the evaluation of each offerors proposal and ensure that a selected offeror is responsible. No award can be made to an offeror who has been determined not responsible by the Contracting Officer. To ensure that the offeror meets the responsibility criteria of FAR 9.101, the Government may:

a. Arrange a visit to your facility and perform a necessary Pre-Award Survey. The offeror's refusal to authorize the Government to visit the offerors facility may result in a determination that the offeror is not responsible.

And/or

b. Request an offeror provide financial, technical, production, or managerial background information. If the requested information is not submitted within seven calendar days from the date of the receipt of the request, or if an offeror refuses the Government access to its facility, the Government may determine the offeror non-responsible. If the Government visits the offeror's facility, please ensure that current data relevant to the proposal is available for Government personnel to review.

M.4 EVALUATION CRITERIA

M.4.1 Technical Factor

M.4.1.1 The Technical Factor will be evaluated on a Technically Acceptable or Technically Unacceptable basis set forth in the Evaluation process set forth in M.3.2. This assessment will be performed using the completed Technical information Questionnaire (TIQ) (Attachment

0003 - TIQ Water & Fuel HDV Variants and Attachment 0004 TIQ Flatbed & Personel Carrier HDV Variants) in accordance with Section

L.4.1.1, and the substantiating documentation submitted in support of answers on the TIQ in accordance with Section L.4.1.2. An

Acceptable proposal is a proposal that demonstrates that the proposed product meets each requirement in the TIQ, by clearly indicating the proposed solution meets requirements to each question in addition to providing thorough, clear, and complete substantiating documentation for each TIQ question which the Government evaluates and determines to meet the requirements of the solicitation. The burden of providing thorough, clear, and complete information rests with the offeror. Unsubstantiated claims may result in an

Unacceptable rating which will make the offeror ineligible for award. In order to be considered for award, the offeror's proposal must

11 13

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

be determined Acceptable for 100 percent of the requirements in Attachment 0003 - TIQ Water & Fuel HDV Variants and Attachment 0004 -

TIQ Flatbed & Personel Carrier HDV Variants. Any offeror's proposal assessed as Unacceptable for any requirement in the TIQ will be ineligible for award.

M.4.1.2 Exceeding Technical Requirements

The offeror will not be awarded extra credit for exceeding the technical requirements outlined in the technical specification and

Section L.4.1.1 of the solicitation.

M.4.2 Price Factor:

The information submitted in response to Section L.4.2 will be evaluated to assess the reasonableness of the offeror's total price. The

Price Factor evaluation will consist of the following:

M.4.2.1 Total Evaluated Price: The Price Factor evaluation will result in a determination of the Total Evaluated Price. The Total

Evaluated Price equals the sum of (a) the proposed prices for all CLINs, as calculated in Attachment 0005 - Pricing Spreadsheet; and (b) the transportation costs determined by the ACC-WRN Transportation Office for all the FOB Origin CLINs.

M.4.2.2 Price Reasonableness: The Government shall also evaluate whether or not the Offerors proposed price is reasonable. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Government may make a determination of price reasonableness by any means allowable under FAR 15.404-1.

M.4.2.3 Unbalanced Pricing: The Government will evaluate the Offerors proposal for unbalanced pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over- or understated as indicated by the application of cost and price analysis techniques. Offerors are cautioned that a proposal the Government assesses to be unbalanced as to price, may either be rejected or determined unacceptable for award. See FAR 15.404-1(g) for more information on unbalanced pricing.
