(b) As of 10 August 2015, unless directed to do otherwise in Section L of this solicitation, vendors are required to submit a quote or proposal SAM.gov.

(c) Please pay close attention to the Issued By block location on the cover page of the solicitation for closing date and time. The closing date and time is based on the local time of the listed location of the Issued By office. In accordance with FAR 15.208(a), offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any revisions, and modifications, so as to be received by the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified.

(f) It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal/quote is received by the date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation. In accordance with FAR 15.208, if the proposal/quote was not received at the initial point of entry to the

Government infrastructure (in this case, received through SAM) by the exact date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation, it will be determined late. Proposal/quote is defined to mean ALL volumes or parts required in the solicitation are included in the electronic submission.

Note: There is no "expected" or "target" length of time for proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore offerors are strongly cautioned when submitting proposals to allow adequate time for submission.

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

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

REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE

ITEM NO. QUANTITY WITHIN DAYS

AFTER DATE OF

CONTRACT

0011 EST 25 EA 150 days after delivery order issuance at a rate of 75 EA per month

0012 EST 25 EA 150 days after delivery order issuance at a rate of 75 EA per month

0013 EST 25 EA 150 days after delivery order issuance at a rate of 75 EA per month

0014 EST 25 EA 150 days after delivery order issuance at a rate of 75 EA per month

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.

OFFERORS 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

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. 003 NOTICE REGARDING REQUIRED SOURCE-CONTROLLED COMPONENT OR MANUFACTURER'S PART NUMBER

(a) Please see the provision entitled ACQUISITION OF MANUFACTURER'S PART NUMBER in Section C of the Scope of Work in this solicitation.

This acquisition is restricted to source-controlled component(s) or manufacturer's part number(s) identified in the Schedule (Section

B), or in the Technical Data Package. Offers that propose to furnish any alternative to the required source-controlled component(s) or manufacturer's part number(s) will not be considered for contract award. It is understood that, by submitting an offer under this solicitation, offeror agrees to supply one of the required part numbers unless the proposed part meets the conditions set forth either in paragraph (b) below.

(b) Require Approval for Alternatives to the Source-Controlled Component or required Manufacturers Part Number.

(1) If a firm manufacturers an item which it believes to be totally equivalent to the required item(s), it may submit an offer based on the equivalent item if the following conditions are met:

(i) Prior to receipt of this solicitation, the firm must have received written U.S. Army TACOM approval of a test procedure on its nonlisted item;

(ii) The firm must indicate in its offer the date of the written U.S. Army TACOM approval, and the name and title of the approving official;

(iii) The firm indicates in its offer that it is in the process of having its item independently tested per the approved test procedure to demonstrate full physical, functional, and mechanical interchangeability of its part with an already approved part cited in this solicitation, or that it is awaiting final U.S. Army TACOM engineering approval of the summary report furnished at the conclusion of independent testing; and

(iv) The firm must have secured final written approval of its part from U.S. Army TACOM engineering by the time of bid opening, (in the case of formally advertised acquisitions), or by the time of contract award, (in the case of negotiated acquisitions).

(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Government expressly reserves to the Contracting Officer the right to waive the conditions set forth above in making an award when written approval from U.S. Army TACOM engineering of a nonlisted part number can be obtained without delay in the anticipated date of award.

(3) When either of the foregoing conditions are met, the Government reserves the right to make an award for a nonlisted item. In no other instance will award be made to any firm that does not agree to furnish one of the required part numbers listed in this

13 16

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

solicitation.

(c) Any firm that manufactures or regularly sells an item which it views as equivalent in all respects to one of the required component(s) or manufacturers part number(s), but that has not initiated approved qualification testing in order to demonstrate that its part is totally equivalent to the required part, should contact the Contract Specialist listed on the first page of the solicitation to inquire about getting qualification testing initiated.

L. 004 PART NUMBERS NOT CURRENTLY APPROVED

As specified elsewhere in this solicitation, part or all of the contract item to be procured hereunder is restricted to certain approved manufacturer's part numbers as set forth in the Schedule and/or the Technical Data Package. Any firm that produces an item which it believes to be equivalent to one of these approved part numbers is hereby encouraged to have such item tested and approved, so that the item will be eligible to be bought on future acquisitions. Please write to the attention of the buyer at the address indicated on the cover page of this solicitation and request a statement of the procedures by which items can be tested and approved for procurement.

Such an enquiry should cite the applicable National Stock Number (NSN), the already approved part number, the part number of the item which the enquirer believes to be identical to our approved item, and a brief statement of the basis on which the new item is believed to be equivalent to our already approved item.

L. 005 PACKING/PACKAGING LEVEL FOR OPTION QUANTITIES

For purposes of computing a price for the option quantity specified in Section B of this solicitation and unless otherwise indicated in

Section B, it is understood and agreed that the option unit price includes the same level(s) of packing/packaging as those that apply to the basic contract quantity.

L. 006 SUBMISSION OF SUBCONTRACTING PLAN

(a) Concurrent with the offer in response to this solicitation, the offeror shall submit a subcontracting plan required by FAR 52.219-9, entitled SMALL BUSINESS AND SMALL DISADVANTAGED BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN. Note that such a plan is not required of offerors that are small businesses. The plan shall be submitted to the buyer's e-mail address on the face page of the solicitation.

(b) Each page of the subcontracting plan will be marked with the solicitation number and date, and may also be marked with other codes or identification symbols to aid in later identification. If this is a negotiated acquisition, the subcontracting plan may be negotiated along with the cost, technical, and managerial features of the offeror's proposal, and the Government reserves the right to discuss the subcontracting plan after the receipt of any best and final offer, in which case such discussion shall not constitute a re-opening of negotiations.

(c) Failure to submit and, if applicable, negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan which, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, provides the maximum practicable opportunity for small business and small disadvantaged business concerns to participate in the awarded contract shall render the offeror ineligible for award. In this connection, offerors should be aware of the statutory goal that has been placed on the Department of Defense to award five percent of its total planned subcontracting dollars to small disadvantaged businesses at the prime contract and subcontract levels. In view of this Congressional mandate, large businesses shall provide specific explanation as a part of any written subcontracting plan furnished in response to this solicitation/contract that identifies a goal for subcontracting to small disadvantaged business concerns that, in the aggregate, amounts to less than five percent of the proposal's total subcontracting dollars.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M. 001 EVALUATION CRITERIA FOR RANGE PRICING

(a) The total evaluated price will include the following:

(1) Basic CLINs 0011 through 0012

(2) Option CLINs 0013 through 0014

(b) For CLINs with range pricing, the Government will calculate a weighted average unit price for each CLIN by multiplying the unit prices proposed for each quantity range by the below weighting percentages. The total evaluated price of each such CLIN will be based on multiplying the weighted average unit price by the yearly estimated CLIN quantities specified in Section B of this solicitation.

Item: Parts Kit, Vehicular

Quantity Range Weighting Applied to Unit Price

From 03 to 10 10%

From 11 to 17 25%

From 18 to 28 55%

From 29 to 36 10% ___

Total: 100%

Offerors should note that the pricing of all offers will be carefully reviewed to detect offers that are unbalanced from range to range

(i.e. one or more ranges have pricing that is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques). Unbalanced offers may be determined unacceptable. See FAR 15.404-1(g) for more information on unbalanced offers.

M. 002 CONTRACTOR RESPONSIBILITY AND ELIGIBILITY FOR AWARD

(a)The Government will award a contract to the offeror that:

(1) submits 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) submits a bid or proposal that meets all the material requirements (including technical requirements of the specification, if applicable) of this solicitation, and

(3) meets 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.

M. 003 METHOD OF PRICE EVALUATION
