Various incremental quantities will be solicited. Deliveries will be to various DLA stocking locations. While price is a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final award decision will be based upon a combination of Price, Past Performance, Proposed Delivery, Surge and Sustainment, Subcontracting Plan, and Socioeconomic Participation.  All responsible sources may submit an offer/quote, which shall be considered.

Consolidation:

The proposed acquisition constitutes a consolidation of contract requirements as defined in FAR 2.101 since a solicitation issued may result in award of a single contract to satisfy two or more requirements for supplies previously provided under two or more separate acquisitions, each of which was lower in cost than the total cost of the contract for which offers are solicited. 

Note:  The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation.  During the on-line auction, offerors' proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having access to the on-line auction. This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed pricing (e.g., "Offeror A").
