4.5.2 Toxicity test. When the toxicity requirement (see 3.7) can be demonstrated with historical use data, on the finishing treatments used, toxicity testing may not be required (see 6.6 and 6.7).

5. PACKAGING.

(All packaging and storage shall follow current practices of the CUF at the USMA.)

5.1 Packaging. Each piece of cloth shall be rolled onto a sufficiently sturdy and smooth commercial cardboard tube as to not crush in storage, movement, or shipping of the cloth roll. Exterior-end of each roll shall be secured within the package as not to unroll or unfurl.

Each roll shall be enclosed in a commercial clear tubular bag of polyethylene film or other suitable clear material to protect the cloth from soiling and degradation in shipping and storage. Bags shall be closed with mechanical ties (twist-ties or cable ties) of suitable weight to secure the closure of the bag through shipping and storage. A complete package of cloth shall weigh no more than 105 pounds.

5.2 Marking. Each roll of cloth shall have a Piece Ticket and Identification Tag affixed to it.

5.2.1 Piece ticket. Each roll shall have a Piece Ticket affixed to the closure of the tubular bag with a cotton string or a plastic tag hanger. The Piece Ticket shall have a reinforced eyelet. At a minimum, the Piece Ticket shall be clearly and legibly marked with the cloth description, local CUF stock number “C0150, and the net linear yardage of the finished cloth on the roll in the bag. Additional information may be placed on the Piece Ticket but no less. Markings on the Piece Ticket shall be legibly printed, using water insoluble ink (see Figure 2).

5.2.2 Identification Tag. Each clear tubular bag shall be marked with an Identification Tag. The

Identification Tag shall indicate at a minimum the contractor name, contractor address, contract number, local CUF stock number “C0150”, cloth description, and the net linear yardage of the finished cloth on the roll in the bag. Additional information may be placed on the Identification Tag but no less. Identification Tags shall have minimum dimensions of 2.4-inches x 4-inches, and shall be completely legible as affixed to the bag. The Identification Tag shall be affixed to the bag approximately 3-inches in from the selvage edge closest to closure end of the bag (see Figure 2).

5.1.3 Delivery address. The contractor shall address all shipments of finished cloth to:

USMA Logistics Warehouse 917 Washington Road West Point, NY 10996.

6. NOTES

(This section contains information of a general or explanatory nature that may be helpful, but is not mandatory.)

6.1 Intended Use – Finished Mock Elastique cloth will be used to manufacture USMA Cadet Mock Elastique Trousers and Skirts worn by the United States Corps of Cadets attending the United States Military Academy. Trousers and skirts made from this cloth are worn during more temperate seasons in lieu of trousers made from 19 ounce, 100% worsted wool Cadet Gray elastique cloth. The 19 ounce, 100% worsted wool Cadet Gray cloth is the sole shell-cloth used for Cadet Dress Uniform coats. The Mock Elastique cloth is intended to mimic or “mock” the appearance of the

19 ounce Cadet Gray 100% worsted wool elastique cloth so that garments will match both these cloths. The USMA Standard Color Sample therefore is 19 oz 100% worsted wool Cadet Gray elastique cloth.

6.1.1 Purchase Descriptions that use WP-PD-21-02:

WP-PD-21-17 Trousers, Dress, Mock Elastique, Men’s WP-PD-21-18 Trousers, Dress, Mock Elastique, Women’s WP-PD-22-02 Skirt, Dress, Mock Elastique

6.2 Acquisition requirements. Acquisition documents should specify the following:

Provisions that are incorporated by reference (by Citation Number, Title, and Date), have the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available.

The following provisions are incorporated into 52.212-2 as an addendum to this solicitation:

Evaluation Factors for Award

(a) Basis for Contract Award. This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13.106-2, Evaluation of quotations or offers, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). The Government will select the best overall quote, based upon an integrated assessment of Experience, Past Performance, and Price Factors. Contract may be awarded to the contractor who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose quote conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by 52.212-2 of this solicitation and is judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation factors to represent the most advantageous to the Government. As part of making the assessment, an evaluation will be performed determining whether or not quote exceeds the minimum requirements at an associated price provides the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable to the Government.

(b) Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one (1) contract as a result of this solicitation. Quotes received for less than the stated number of items listed in the Price Schedule will be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR 52.212-1 (g), the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with contractors. Therefore, the contractor’s initial quote should contain the contractor’s 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.

(c) Evaluation Criteria. The Sample Fabric in accordance with specifications (CLOTH, MOCK

ELASTIQUE, POLYESTER AND WOOL) will be evaluated under two (2) evaluating factors:

Technical, and Price.

Factor 1 - Experience. The Sample Fabric in accordance with specifications (CLOTH, MOCK ELASTIQUE, POLYESTER AND WOOL) will receive one of the ratings defined below.

Table 1. Experience Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable SAMPLE clearly meets the minimum specifications/requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable SAMPLE does NOT clearly meet the minimum specifications/requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 2 – Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 13.106-3(a). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable.

Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the contractor's final option period price to the contractor's total price. Thus, the contractor's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and 1/2 of the 4th option. Contractors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period.
