About this file
This document is an Amendment of Solicitation for a U.S. Army contract (Solicitation Number W912CH-25-R-0080) issued by the Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal. The amendment (Number 0001) modifies Section L of the original solicitation, specifically removing language related to Days With FAT (First Article Test), which previously stated that proposed Days With FAT would be 90 additional days from the proposed schedule for Days Without FAT. The solicitation is for a firm fixed-price supply contract, with an expected minimum proposal acceptance period of 180 calendar days. Proposals must be electronically submitted via email to the Contract Specialist Christina Herbig, with a maximum email size of 10 megabytes and specific formatting requirements. Offerors are limited to submitting one proposal addressing two primary evaluation factors: Delivery Schedule and Price.
Key submission details include: proposals must be in English and US dollars, use Microsoft Office 2013 or PDF formats, and follow specific electronic file naming conventions. The solicitation notes the Army Contracting Enterprise is transitioning contract writing systems, and offers guidance for potential system-related document variations. Proposals will be evaluated based on delivery schedule (either matching, improving upon, or within 45 days of the government's solicited delivery schedule) and pricing. The contract is being administered by the Army Contracting Command - Detroit Arsenal (ACC-DTA), located in Detroit Arsenal, Michigan, with a solicitation closing date of October 23, 2025.

The Government will not assume the offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment not specified in its proposal.

The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.
L.1.2 Minimum Acceptance Period.
This provision supersedes any language pertaining to the acceptance period that may appear elsewhere in this solicitation (e.g. SF 33

L.3 EVALUATION FACTORS
Offeror proposals shall address the following Factors:
a. Delivery Schedule Factor
b. Price Factor
L.3.1 Delivery Schedule Factor
The following applies to all Delivery Schedule Subfactors, unless otherwise noted below. \par
The Government has no set delivery schedule as to the number of deliveries per month. The only requirement is that all must be delivered within the days specified in Narrative F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS. An offeror is not to propose a delivery rate; this makes the proposal unawardable regardless of what is proposed.
L.3.1.1 Offerors shall submit the following:
The Offeror shall submit a filled-in Section F of the RFP with its proposal if it proposes an alternative delivery schedule as allowed by this Factor. The offeror may propose an alternate delivery schedule For CLINS 0011, 0012, 0013, 0014, and 0015, expressed in terms of
"after date of delivery order award" by filling in its proposed schedule for days after delivery order award schedule for days without
FAT by filling in the Offerors Proposed Delivery Schedule in Narrative F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS.
If the offeror does NOT propose an alternative schedule for CLINS 0011, 0012, 0013, 0014, and 0015 within Section F, Narrative F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS, then the offerors proposed delivery date(s) is the same as the Government Solicited Delivery
Schedule set forth in F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS.
L.3.1.1.1 In order to be considered for award, a proposal must provide a delivery date expressed in terms of after date of contract award that is either
1) sooner than the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS; or
2) equal to the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in FAR F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS; or
3) within 45 days after delivery order award or less than the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in F.2, DELIVERY

Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS.
L.3.1.1.2 Proposals that provide a delivery schedule that is later than 45 days after the solicited schedule of the respective CLIN identified in F.2, DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR DELIVERY ORDERS will constitute a failure to meet a stated requirement of the solicitation
(deficiency) and be un-awardable.
L.3.1.2 If selected for award, the offerors proposed delivery date will be incorporated and become the requirement in any resulting contract.
L.3.2 Price Factor
L.3.2.1 In accordance with FAR 15.403-5(a)(1), certified cost or pricing data is not required for initial proposal submission. However, after initial proposal submission, if only one offer is received, the Government reserves the right to request certified cost or pricing data in accordance with DFARS 252.215-7008. In the event certified cost or pricing data is required, the offeror may submit a written request for exception based on the applicable clauses contained herein.
For initial proposal submission, the offeror shall provide its proposed prices by providing a filled in Section B of the RFP.
L.3.2.2 The Government reserves the right to request additional or more detailed cost or price information to support its evaluation.
L.4 PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:
L.4.1 Signature Actions/offeror Fill-Ins. Provide a scanned image of a signed copy of the SF33 cover page, a copy of all completed fillins for Sections A through K, and (if applicable) a signed copy of all Amendments to the solicitation. System for Award Management

Section L.1.2)
L.4.3 Statement of Acknowledgement. A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions of the
RFP, and a statement of agreement to furnish and deliver the items or perform services set forth in the RFP in consideration for offerors proposed price(s) set opposite each item. Any exceptions taken to the attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or other solicitation terms, conditions, or documents may be determined to be a Deficiency or grounds for the Government to reject the proposal from further consideration in the source selection process (Reference M.2.1).
L.4.4 Assumptions. The offeror shall consolidate and identify all offeror's generated "assumptions" contained anywhere in the proposal.
The offeror shall include a statement that none of the "assumptions" contradict or take exception to any terms, conditions, or requirements of the solicitation. Any exceptions taken to the attachments, exhibits, enclosures, or other solicitation terms, conditions, or documents may be determined to be a Deficiency or grounds for the Government to reject the proposal from further consideration in the source selection process (Reference M.2.1).
L.5 SOURCE NOTES ON DRAWINGS: CONFORMANCE TO MILITARY TECHNICAL DATA REQUIREMENTS

To the extent that there may be any inconsistency between a manufacturer's part number and specific technical requirements expressed on an ordnance drawing which references the manufacturer's part number, the specific technical requirements shall control and take precedence.

L. 10 Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Offerors
L.10.1 The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software suite will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Solicitation.
L.10.2 During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:
L.10.2.1 The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (e.g. solicitation amendments and awards, if any). Due to this:
i. This solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same Contracting
Office (e.g. requiring offer submission via the PIEE Solicitation Module vs. e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting
Officer.
ii. If the Contracting Office switches contract writing systems prior to award, documents you receive from the Contracting Officer or view on SAM.gov or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.
iii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response (amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting
Officer.
L.10.2.2 The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new
7 8
Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
contract writing software, you, as the Offeror, may still be the first to spot such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:
i. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions affect your award eligibility, violate or alter existing quote/proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.
ii. Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the Contracting
Office throughout the Solicitation and Award process.
iii. Contact the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the solicitation or solicitation amendment for guidance if you notice or suspect any inadvertent change has occurred between document issuances.
L.10.2.3 The Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents (if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the
Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.
L.10.2.4 In the unlikely event a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:
i. May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.
ii. Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.
riii. Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.
iv. Will issue a complete, properly-formatted award accurately reflecting this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.
