Notice text
Historical one year documentation indicates an estimate of $15,000,000 per year for an Original Acquisition Value. The total Original Acquisition Value for a two-year term contract is estimated at $30,000,000. Future generation of this amount is not guaranteed and is provided for bidding and planning purposes only.
Foreign Excess Personal Property (FEPP) offered under this IFB is an item of personal property that is offered for sale outside the territory of the United States and has been determined to be safe to sell with a DEMIL code A, and Limited F. This property is sold by DOD is in “as-is, where-is” condition (See SBR Part 2, Art.2). This property has been determined to be excess to the requirements of the US DoD components, however, not all such property will be referred under this contract as agency regulations and policies may first require (1) reutilization within their agency or to special programs; (2) transfer to other federal agencies; or (3) donation to specified eligible entities, before an item is eligible for sale to the general public. The Agency’s overseas management of FEPP follows the “disposition code” guidance of 41 CFR section 102-36.240 which describes excess personal property as either “new” property, “usable” property, “repairable” property or “salvage” property. FEPP also includes rolling stock, which consists of self-propelled wheeled and track mounted vehicles (such as passenger motor vehicles, trucks and dozers) and trailers with or without property permanently affixed to it (such as semi-trailers, cargo trailers and special purpose trailers). The FEPP offered under this IFB has been determined to be “new”, “useable” or “repairable’ under the General Services Administration (GSA) definitions. The FEPP property offered under this IFB would not be considered scrap, which is defined as property that has no value except for its basic material content. While DoD turn-in customers provide a supply condition code of A-H on all DTIDs for all property turned into the Agency, these codes are used in the DoD supply system as classifications for materiel in terms of readiness for issue and use, or to identify action underway to change the status of materiel. They do not directly correspond to the suitability of property being made available for reutilization, transfer, donation or sale. Agency personnel make an independent determination on whether the property should be classified as scrap because it has no value more than the item’s material content and/or whether an item is suitable for reutilization, transfer, donation or sale as FEPP. The quality of the property tendered under this contract will vary and it is being sold “as is where is” with no warranty as to its condition or suitability for its originally intended, or any other specific purpose.
This is a requirement-type contract. For property fitting the item descriptions herein, the agency will tender all such property at designated field sites and receipt in place locations that has been entered onto its accountable property records and has survived all reutilization, transfer, donation screening and is excess to the needs of the United States Government and eligible for resale under US property disposal laws. The Purchaser will be required to purchase all such material as described in this IFB from the field site and the receipt-in-place locations and that have been entered onto the accountable property system record. Purchaser must accept all material as described as tendered by the Agency at the bid price offered during the full term of this contract. Prices cannot be re-negotiated based on changes in market conditions.
There is no minimum or maximum quantity limit under this contract, and purchasers must accept and pay for material tendered until the twenty-four-month term of the contract has expired. No culling of described material will be permitted at sites, and the Purchaser must accept material from all locations specified in this IFB. Other locations may be authorized with mutual agreement.
The Purchaser is cautioned that prior to resale of the property acquired under this contract, they should
become familiar with their customer and the purposes for which it is acquiring the property. The US export
control regulations may apply to subsequent transactions of the property. The Purchaser should obtain a
statement from the buyer, containing information similar to that contained in the USG’s End-Use Certificate
(EUC) and must check any prospective buyer to ensure the buyer is not on the Department of Commerce
proscribed party list (entity and person) and prohibited country list; that the transfer will not violate 15
CFR Part 736 and issue a destination control statement in accordance with the EAR. Additionally
Information on managing exports of CCL items can be found at the Bureau of Industry and Security website at
https://www.bis.gov.
For purposes of this contract, the term usable property excludes records of the Federal Government, and naval vessels of the following categories: battleships, cruisers, aircraft carriers, destroyers, and submarines.
All property covered under the contract is being sold “as-is” and “where is”. No request for adjustment in
price for any item or rescission of the sale will be considered. This is not a sale by sample and property
issued under the terms of this contract may not be rejected by the Purchaser, unless an item falls outside
the scope of the contract. The United States Government (USG) is the sole arbiter of determining condition
code and determining whether property is considered usable FEPP under its property regulations and thus
eligible for referral under this contract. Purchaser’s opinion on whether the property is able to clear
customs, sell or market, or the availability of customers for items have no bearing on whether the
Government considers the property usable. No changes, modifications, or reductions of price will be applied.
Under no circumstances is culling for the purpose of effecting partial or incremental removals authorized.
Please read the attached IFB in it's entirety.
