a. Basis for Contract Award. This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). The test program authorized under FAR Subpart

13.5 is applicable to this acquisition. Award will be made to a single quoter who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose quote is technically acceptable, conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose quote, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the lowest price.

1. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price 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 quoters. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter’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.

2. Evaluation Criteria. Product samples. One (1) raincoat is required at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers (see 52.212-1 Addendum).

Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor. The Past Performance Factor will receive one of the ratings defined below.

SPECIFIC RELEVANT CONTRACTS

Specific Relevant Contracts Sheet

The quoter shall provide documentation outlining the quoter’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the effort being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. Quoters are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

1. Contract Number, Award Date and Contract type.

2. Price/Cost – original awarded AND final (or projected final, if contract is current).

3. Delivery Schedule – original AND final (or projected final, if the contract is current).

4. Contact Information - Address and telephone number for the Government (or commercial) procuring contracting activity AND contract administrative activity (if applicable).

Name, telephone number, fax number and e-mail address for the following:

5. Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO)

6. Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)

7. Government or commercial technical representative or COR Identify in specific detail for each contract listed, why or how you consider that effort relevant or similar to the effort required by this solicitation. In determining relevancy, consideration should be given but not limited to such things as project similarity, project, size and complexity, contract type, contract environment, division of company proposing, and subcontractor interaction.

8. Narrative explanation on each contract listed describing the objectives achieved and the following data: any cost growth or schedule delays encountered. For any Government contracts which did not/do not meet original requirements with regard to cost, schedule, or technical performance, a brief explanation of the reason(s) for such shortcomings and any demonstrated corrective actions taken to avoid recurrence. Quoters may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the quoter to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to an unacceptable rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an quoter may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The quoter is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the quoter to be considered an acceptable past performance candidate.

9. Negative Performance Documentation. A copy of any cure notices, show cause letters or contract discrepancy reports received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action by the quoter or proposed subcontractor.

10. Completion Date/Delivery Schedule. The contractor shall list each time the delivery schedule was revised and provide an explanation of why the revision was necessary.

4.5. Test methods.

4.5.1 Hydrostatic resistance. The hydrostatic resistance of the sealed seem areas of the raincoat shaIl be determined in accordance with Method 5514 of FED-STD-191 except for the following: The sealed seam area of the fabricated raincoat, sample unit, shall be tested without cutting or otherwise damaging the raincoat. the seam shall be flexed 10 times in the following manner. The raincoat sealed seam shall be grasped using the thumb and fingers of each hand in such a manner that the thumbs are parallel to each other and approximately 1/2 inch beyond (outside) the edges of the sealant. With the seams held firmly in the above manner, the thumbs shall be brought together so cloth and sealant are is contact. The sealed area shall be flexed vigorously 10 times with the cloth and sealant in contact with itself throughout test. The flexing action shall be such that when fully flexed in either direction there shall be a minimum of two inches between each thumb nail when the flexed area is fully extended with the test area in contact with itself' at all times. The test area shall be visually examined for the characteristics indicated in 3.11.1 prior to conducting the hydrostatic test. The hydrostatic test shall be made with the sealed seam in the center of the 4-1/2 inch diameter test area with the uncoated side of the seam in contact with the water. The hydrostatic head shall be raised to 25 on each sealed seam (three on the cape and two on the coat) for a total of five. The five determinations shall be reported separately as pass or fail . No more than one of the five areas tested shall show 1 leakage in less than 10 minutes. A failure of the raincoat is defined as a hydrostatic failure in two or more of the five determinations.

4.5.2. Blocking resistance. Method 5872 of FED-STD-191 shall be followed except that the sample unit shall be one completely fabricated raincoat and that the test specimen shall be prepared by folding the raincoat so that two inner sealed seam surfaces are superimposed and are in the center of the glass plates.
