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 Simplified Acquisition Procedure authorized under FAR Subpart 13.5 is applicable to this acquisition.

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

b. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award one Firm Fixed Price Contract. Proposals received for less than the stated number of items listed in the Price Schedule will be considered ineligible for award. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror'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. Product samples. The sample unit shall be a Full Fabric Width (2 to 3 yards) in length. The sample shall be submitted at no expense to the Government. Samples will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation criteria listed below. Evaluation criteria consist of factors. The proposals will be evaluated under two (2) evaluation factors: Technical and Price.

Factor 1 – Technical. The Sample will receive one of the ratings defined below.

Table 1. Technical Factor Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Pass Sample clearly meets the requirements stated in the evaluation criteria Fail Sample does not clearly meet the requirements stated in the evaluation criteria.

In order to receive a pass rating, the sample submissions must not contain any characteristic failures as stated in the evaluation criteria listed in Attachment 1 for the attached specifications in Attachment 2.

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.

d. Notice of Award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Minimum bid sample submitted for evaluation shall be full fabric width, and between two and three (2 to

3) yards in length. Bid Samples are required to meet the cloth characteristics in the Purchase Description.

In submitting a bid sample, contractors thereby attest that the bid sample they provide meets the characteristics of the Purchase Description for USMA Cloth # C0255 Type II.

Bid samples will be initially compared to current stock of this cloth examining width, hand, and weight.

This initial comparison will be performed by government employee(s) who use the cloth in manufacturing USMA Cadet Uniforms. Samples found in these initial comparison with acceptable width, hand, and weight will be acceptable.

If this comparison finds the bid sample differs from current stocks of this cloth, the sample’s characteristics of will be checked for adherence to the characteristics required in the Purchase Description.

Any failure to meet the requirements of the following checks will disqualify a sample as unacceptable.

In order: the first characteristic checked will be measuring the fabric width in section 3.5.1. If fabric width is found to be acceptable, the second characteristic to check will be fabric weight in 3.5. Table II -physical requirements. This will be checked by cutting and weighing a piece measuring 36 by 36 inches cut from the sample provided.

Cutting of the 36 x 36 inch piece will be performed on a Gerber GTxL Automated cutting machine using a square digital cutting pattern measuring 36.000 x 36.000 inches. That square yard sample will be weighed locally on a scale accurate to 0.001 pounds or 0.5 grams. If the sample’s fabric weight is found to be acceptable, the third and fourth checks will be a manual pick glass assisted count of Yarns per inch in the filling and warp directions.

Characteristic Pass Fail Fabric Width: 58 to 60 inches excluding selvage Fabric Weight: 18 to 20.6 ounces per square yard

Over 10,000 yards 25

4.4.1.1. All defects as defined in Section III of Fed. Std. No. 4, which are clearly noticeable at normal inspection distance of 3 feet, shall be scored and assigned demerit points as listed in 4.4.1.2. except as follows: Only coarse yarns that exceed twice the normal diameter shall be scored; Mixed filling (shade bar shall be scored only when resulting from wrong ply, wrong twist in the yarn, or off shade yarn; Only knots and slubs that exceed limits shown on Sears Fabric Defect Scale “C” for slubs and “D” for knots shall be scored. Defects found shall be counted regardless of their proximity to each other, except where two or more defects represent a single local condition of the cloth, in which case only the more serious defect shall be counted. A continuous defect shall be counted as one defect for each warp-wise yard or fraction thereof in which it occurs. Defects on the selvage shall not be scored unless the body of the cloth is affected. No linear yard (increments of 1 yard on the measuring device of the inspection machine) from any one roll with in the sample shall be penalized more than 4 points. The lot shall be unacceptable if one or more sample units fail to meet any requirement specified. See 4.4.1.2.

4.4.1.2. Demerit points.- Demerit point shall be assigned as follows:

For defects three (3) inches or less in any dimension. One (1) point.

Slack or tight selvages. 1/ Four (4) points.

Any slubs or knots which exceed “C” for slubs and “D” for knots on the Sears Fabric Defect Scale

Four (4) points.

1/ To determine the presence of unacceptable selvage conditions, the following procedure shall be observed: During the visual examination, the perch shall be stopped at a minimum of three times for each roll in the sample, the tension removed, and the finished cloth examined for the selvage conditions. Waviness in the selvage or significant ripples diagonally across the width of the fabric is an indication of slack or tight selvages.

4.4.2. Shade and appearance examination. If any color in any roll of the sample is off shade or if any roll does not have the same appearance as the standard sample, it shall be cause for rejection of the entire lot the sample.
