Please be advised that a hard copy solicitation will not be available. If you intend to submit an offer, you are asked to return a completed and signed Offeror Submission Package to the DLA Energy bid custodian before the closing date and time. E-mail offers are authorized via BulkFuelsBidCustodian@dla.mil. The items under this acquisition may be subject to an Agreement on Government Procurement approved and implemented in the United States by the Trade Agreement Act of 1979 -- DFARS Clauses 252.225-7020 TRADE AGREEMENTS CERTIFICATE and 252.225-7021 TRADE AGREEMENTS apply to this procurement.  All offers shall be in the English language and in U.S. dollars.

DLA Energy is rolling out the new Bulk Offer Entry Tool (OET) for use in the Bulk Fuels purchase programs.  The usage of the Bulk OET is OPTIONAL for solicitation SPE600-15-R-0715; future solicitations may make the usage of the Bulk OET mandatory.  The Bulk OET will allow offerors to electronically submit and sign their offer (including the SF 1449). 

1) By completing the various mandatory and optional fields in the tool, offerors will provide the information necessary to allow their offer to be imported directly into the Bulk Fuels Bid Evaluation Model (BEM) for evaluation.

The Bulk OET does not replace the Bulk Fuels Offer Submission Package (OSP) in its entirety.  Offerors will still need to complete those portions of the OSP as indicated by the Contracting Officer in the instructions included with the solicitation.  In general terms, offerors can expect to be required to complete and submit sections F (Source of Supply) through I (Port Restrictions) portions of the OSP.   The OET does provide the capability for offerors to attach the completed forms as a .PDF document as part of their company's overall offer submission.

In order to utilize the OET, offerors must first establish an OET account using the DLA Accounts Management and Provisioning System (AMPS).   You can access AMPS at https://amps.dla.mil/oim where offerors can either create a new AMPS account or log in using their existing account (offerors will be asked to provide their CAGE code when creating a new AMPS account).   Once offerors have established an account in AMPS, they will need to request the following role: 

OET Prod - Vendor Offer Submission Role OET-100  

To select this role, offerors will first choose 'Energy Applications' then 'Energy OET' under the Browse Roles by Application tab.  

When applying for this role, offerors need to include their company name and the purchase programs they typically offer under in the notes or comments section of the application.  Also, when applying for OET - offerors MUST include every CAGE code they intend to use to submit offers in the 'notes' section of the initial role request.  Once the offerors role has been approved, they will be provided with a user name and password that can be used to log into the Bulk Fuels OET at:   https://offerwizard.dla.mil/bulkoet/bulkoet.html .  If an offeror experiences difficulty in establishing an account, they can contact the DLA Energy Bulk Technical Team at DESC.BTechTeam@dla.mil for assistance or Mr. Bill MacLaren, Bulk Fuels Procurement Analyst, Tel: (703) 767-8426, Email: William.maclaren@dla.mil .

In future solicitations, the Bulk OET will also be able to act as the mechanism for completing the reverse auction process when required for Bulk Fuels procurement. This mechanism may not be utilized for this WestPac solicitation since the Bulk OET is optional.  Reverse auctions conducted under this WestPac solicitation will follow the procedures in the solicitation.
