52.201-9001 Ordering Officers Under the Contract

As prescribed in 1.603-90(b) insert the following clause:

ORDERING OFFICERS UNDER THE CONTRACT (APR 2008) – DLAD

(a) Ordering Officers are authorized to place and sign delivery orders that are expressly within the terms and conditions of this contract. Ordering officers, however, are not authorized to sign purchase orders or contracts and cannot take any action to charge the account of the contractor unless they are also contracting officers. Ordering officers are authorized to modify delivery orders and perform all administrative functions pertaining to such orders including termination of the order for late deliveries and other product nonconformances. In the case of a termination, the applicable agency, commissary, or activity may reprocure the supplies locally. The ordering officer shall also notify the DLA Contracting Officer of all terminations and repurchase actions which were processed under the indefinite delivery contract. Delivery orders outside the expressed terms and conditions of the contract shall be signed by the DLA Contracting Officer. Further limitations on the authority of the ordering officer may be stated elsewhere in the contract or in the letter of appointment.

(b) [ ] If checked, the following individuals are appointed Ordering Officers under this contract:

NAME | TITLE

(End of clause)

52.204-9000 CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL SECURITY ( APR 2008 )

As Prescribed in 4.1303, insert the following clause:

(a) Work that is performed under this contract/task order, in full or in part, must be performed at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) HQ or DLA office(s), and therefore requires physical access to a federally-controlled facility. DLA and its field activity offices require all contractor personnel working on the federally-controlled facility to have a favorably adjudicated investigation prior to commencing work on a contract. Additionally, all DoD consultants and contractor personnel who access federally-controlled information systems must be assigned to positions which are designated at one of three sensitivity levels: IT-I (privileged), IT-II (limited privileged) and IT-III (non-privileged) (Ref DODI 8500.2, Para E2.1.36.). For IT-I, a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) is required; for IT-II a National Agency Check with Law and Credit Checks (NACLC) is required; and for IT-III designated positions, a National Agency Check with written Inquiry (NACI) is required.

(b) At the option of the Government, previously completed security investigations may be accepted in lieu of new investigations if determined to be essentially equivalent in scope to the required investigation. The length of time elapsed since the previous investigation will also be considered in determining whether a new investigation is warranted. In order to assist the Government in making this determination, the contractor must provide the following information to the contracting officer immediately upon receipt of the contract or when an employee is proposed for work requiring access to a federally-controlled facility or information system. This information must be provided for each contractor employee who will perform work on a federally-controlled facility and/or will require access to federally-controlled information systems:

(1) Full name, with middle initial

(2) Social Security Number

(3) Citizenship status

(4) Date of Birth

(5) Place of Birth

(6) Proof of the individual’s favorably adjudicated background investigation, consisting of identification of the type of investigation performed, date of the favorable adjudication, and name of the agency that performed the investigation.

(7) Company name and address

(8) Company phone and fax numbers

(9) Company email address

(10) Location of on-site workstation or phone number if off-site (if known prior to award)

(11) Delivery order or contract number and expiration date

(12) Name of contracting officer

(c) The Government will notify the contractor as soon as a determination is made regarding acceptance of the previous investigation. If a new investigation is deemed necessary, the contractor will be notified by the contracting officer or contracting officer’s representative (CO/COR). It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that adequate information is provided and that each contractor employee completes the appropriate paperwork in order to begin the investigation process. The contractor shall submit each request for investigation, through the CO/COR, to the DLA site Security Office. Submission shall include a Contractor Request Form, with supporting documentation, which states what information technology level and access is required for the position. Request shall include:

(1) SF 85P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions;

(2) FD Form 258, Fingerprint Card (the DLA site Security Office will perform all fingerprinting);

(3) Proof of Citizenship (birth certificate or passport are acceptable, and must be the original or a certified copy); and

(4) Appropriate documentation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service if the applicant is a foreign national.

Required documentation, set forth above, must be provided to the DLA site Security Office.

(d) If an investigation is required for unescorted entry purposes, the National Agency Check (NAC) results will be forwarded to the HQ DLA Enterprise Support (DES) Public Safety Office, Personnel Security Division (DES-SC) for review and determination regarding the applicant’s eligibility to occupy the specified position in performance of the DLA contract. If an SSBI, NACLC or NAC is required for logical/IT access, the results of the investigation are returned to the Defense Industrial Security Clearance Office (DISCO) for review and determination regarding the applicant’s eligibility to access DLA information systems. Determinations made by DISCO will be reflected in the Joint Personnel Adjudications System (JPAS).

(e) A waiver to allow assignment of an individual to commence work prior to completion of the NAC investigation may be granted in emergency situations when it is determined that a delay would be harmful to national security. A request for waiver will be considered only after the Government is in receipt of the individual’s completed forms. The DLA site Security Office and the contracting officer reserve the right to determine whether a waiver request will be forwarded for processing. The individual requesting the waiver may not be assigned to a position, may not physically work at the federally-controlled facility and/or be granted access to federally-controlled information systems, until the waiver has been granted.

(f) The requirements of this clause apply to the prime contractor and any subcontractors the prime contractor may employ during the course of this contract, as well as any temporary employees that may be hired by the contractor. When the Government, in its sole discretion, determines that the contractor’s continued presence on a federally-controlled facility or access to federally-controlled information systems presents an unacceptable security risk, the Government retains the right to require removal of contractor personnel, regardless of prior clearance or adjudication status. The reason for removal shall be fully documented in writing by the contracting officer. When and if such removal occurs, the contractor shall assign qualified personnel, with the required NAC, to any vacancy thus created.

(g) All contractor personnel who are granted access to Government Federally-controlled information systems shall observe all local automated information system (AIS) security policies and procedures as provided by the DLA site Information Systems Security Officer. Violations of local AIS security policy, such as password sharing, performing personal work, file access violations, or browsing files outside the scope of the contract, may result in removal of the employee from Government property and referral to the contractor for appropriate disciplinary action. Actions taken by the contractor in response to a violation will be evaluated and will be reflected in the contractor’s performance assessment for use in making future source selection decisions. In addition, based on the nature and extent of any violations of AIS security policy, the Government will consider whether it needs to pursue any other actions under the contract such as a possible termination.

(h) The contractor is required to obtain a Common Access Card (CAC) in accordance with procedures established at the DLA HQ or field activity office.

(i) Any new or replacement contractor employee must meet the NAC requirements of this clause, and may not begin work on the contract without written documentation signed by the contracting officer, stating that the new employee has met one of the criteria set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (e) of this clause, i.e., acceptance of a previously completed security investigation, satisfactory completion of a new investigation, or a waiver allowing commencement of work pending completion of an investigation. Individuals removed from this contract as a result of a violation of local AIS security policy are removed for the duration of the contract.

(j) The contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing, within 12 hours, when an employee working on this contract resigns, is reassigned, is terminated, or no longer requires admittance to the federally-controlled facility or access to federally-controlled information systems. The contractor is responsible for the turning in of identification badges, CAC Card and vehicle decal. The contractor must also complete the Information Operations Out-processing Checklist, which can be obtained by contacting the Information Assurance Operations Office (J6FA). The checklist must be completed, initialed and dated before submitting at the final checkout point.

(k) These security requirements do not excuse the contractor from meeting the delivery schedule set forth in the contract, or waive the delivery schedule in any way. Contractor shall meet the required delivery schedule unless the contracting officer grants a waiver or extension.

( END OF CLAUSE)

52.204-9001 Electronic Order Transmission

As prescribed in 4.502-90 insert the following provision:

52.204-9001 ELECTRONIC ORDER TRANSMISSION (Jun 2008) – DLAD

Supplies procured through the DLA may be ordered via electronic ordering. Offerors must check one of the following alternatives for paperless order transmission:

( ) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transmissions in accordance with ANSI X12 Standards through a registered Value Added Network (VAN).

( ) Electronic Mail (email) award notifications containing Web links to electronic copies of the DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services (orders are stored in Portable Document Format (PDF) and accessing them requires a free Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in).

Offerors choosing email notification for order transmission shall register their email address on the DLA DIBBS Home Page at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ as part of the VENDOR REGISTRATION.

Offerors choosing EDI for order transmission will receive transaction sets at time of award. The Contractor shall acknowledge receipt of each order by transmitting a functional acknowledgement or order receipt message within 24 hours, except for weekends and holidays where acknowledgement shall be the next working day. Failure to establish system(s) connectivity for successfully receiving and processing EDI orders within 30 days after date of award may be grounds for termination of the contract by the Government.

Issuance of an EDI transmission or email notification constitutes a binding order. Successful offerors are authorized and expected to commence performance upon receipt.

VENDOR SECURITY REQUIREMENTS (JUN 2008) – DLAD

(a) Work to be performed under this contract/task order may, in full or in part, be performed at the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) HQ or other field activity office(s), i.e., physical access to a Federally-controlled facility. DLA and its field activity offices require all contractor personnel working on the Federally-controlled facility to have a favorably adjudicated National Agency Check (NAC) prior to beginning work on a contract. Additionally, in accordance with Department of Defense (DoD) 5200.2-R, DoD Personnel Security Programs, and Defense Logistics Agency Regulation (DLAR) 5200.11, DLA Personnel Security Program, all DoD consultants and contractor personnel who have access to Federally-controlled information systems must be assigned to positions which are designated at one of three sensitivity levels, IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. These designations equate to Critical Sensitive, Non-Critical Sensitive, and Non-sensitive, all of which require performance of a NAC. (Note: Non-Critical Sensitive -IT 2 now requires a National Agency Check with Law and Credit (NACLC) and Critical Sensitive - IT1 require Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI))

(b) At the option of the Government, previously completed security investigations may be accepted in lieu of new investigations if determined to be essentially equivalent in scope to the required NAC. The length of time elapsed since the previous investigation will also be considered in determining whether a new investigation is warranted. In order to assist the Government in making this determination, the contractor must provide the following information to the contracting officer immediately upon receipt of the contract. This information must be provided for each contractor employee who will perform work on a Federally-controlled facility and/or will require access to Federally-controlled information systems:

(1) Full name, with middle initial

(2) Social Security Number

(3) Citizenship status

(4) Date of Birth

(5) Place of Birth

(6) Proof of the individual’s favorably adjudicated background investigation or NAC, consisting of identification of the type of investigation performed, date of the favorable adjudication, and name of the agency that performed the investigation.

(7) Company name and address

(9) Company email address

(10) Location of on-site workstation or phone number if off-site (if known prior to award)

(11) Delivery order or contract number and expiration date

(12) Name of contracting officer

(c) The Government will notify the contractor as soon as a determination is made regarding acceptance of the previous investigation. If a new investigation is deemed necessary, the contractor will be notified of such by the contracting officer or contracting officer’s representative (CO/COR). It is the contractor’s responsibility to ensure that adequate information is provided and that each contractor employee completes the appropriate paperwork in order to begin the investigation process. The contractor shall submit each request for investigation, through the CO/COR, to the DLA site Security Office. Requests shall include:

(1) Electronic Personnel Security Questionnaire (EPSQ) (SF 85P, Questionnaire for Public Trust Positions). This form, as well as instructions for completion, is available at www.dss.mil.)

(2) Fingerprint Card, (DD Form 258); the DLA site Security Office will perform all fingerprinting.

(3) Proof of Citizenship (birth certificate or passport are acceptable, and must be the original or a certified copy.)

(4) Appropriate documentation from the Immigration and Naturalization Service if the applicant is a foreign national.

Required documentation, set forth above, must be provided to the DLA site Security Office at the time of fingerprinting.

(d) Upon completion of the NAC, results will be forwarded to DLA HQ Command Security, Personnel Security Division (DSS-SC) for review and determination regarding the applicant’s suitability to occupy the specified position in performance of the DLA contract. Contractor personnel shall not commence work on this effort until the NAC has been favorably adjudicated. Results of investigations now go to DISCO, not DES-SC.

(e) A waiver to allow assignment of an individual to commence work prior to completion of the NAC investigation may be granted in emergency situations when it is determined that a delay would be harmful to national security. A request for waiver will be considered only after the Government is in receipt of the individual’s completed forms. The DLA site Security Office and the contracting officer reserve the right to determine whether a waiver request will be forwarded for processing. The individual requesting the waiver may not be assigned to a position, e.g., physically work at the Federally-controlled facility and/or be granted access to Federally-controlled information systems, until the waiver has been granted.

(f) The requirements of this clause apply to the prime contractor and any subcontractors the prime contractor may employ during the course of this contract, as well as any temporary employees that may be hired by the contractor. The Government retains the right to request removal of contractor personnel, regardless of prior clearance or adjudication status whose actions, while assigned to this contract, are deemed to conflict with the interests of the Government. The reason for removal shall be fully documented in writing by the contracting officer. When and if such removal occurs, the contractor shall assign qualified personnel, with the required NAC, to any vacancy thus created.

(g) All contractor personnel who are granted access to Government Federally-controlled information systems shall observe all local automated information system (AIS) security policies and procedures as provided by the DLA site Information Systems Security Officer. Violations of local AIS security policy, such as password sharing, performing personal work, file access violations, or browsing files outside the scope of the contract, will result in removal of the employee from Government property and referral to the contractor for appropriate disciplinary action. Actions taken by the contractor in response to a violation will be evaluated and will be reflected in the contractor’s performance assessment for use in making future source selection decisions. In addition, based on the nature and extent of any violations of AIS security policy, the Government will consider whether it needs to pursue any other actions under the contract such as a possible termination.

(h) The contractor is required to obtain a Common Access Card in accordance with procedures established at the DLA HQ or field activity office.

(i) When a contractor employee is removed from the contract, the contractor shall provide an appropriately trained substitute who has met the NAC requirements of this clause. The substitute may not begin work on the contract without written documentation, signed by the contracting officer, stating that the new employee has met one of the criteria set forth in paragraphs (b), (c), or (e) of this clause, i.e., acceptance of a previously completed security investigation, satisfactory completion of a new investigation, or a waiver allowing work to begin pending completion of an investigation. Individuals removed from this contract as a result of a violation of local AIS security policy are removed for the duration of the contract.

(j) The contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing, within 12 hours, when an employee working on this contract resigns, is reassigned, terminated or no longer requires admittance to the Federally-controlled facility or access to Federally-controlled information systems.

(k) These vendor security requirements do not excuse the contractor from meeting the delivery schedule set forth in the contract, or waive the delivery schedule in any way. Contractor shall meet the required delivery schedule unless the contracting officer grants a waiver or extension.

52.213-9007 DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) Quoting Information for BSM Automated Solicitations (APRIL 2006) - DLAD

(a) AUTOMATED SOLICITATIONS ON DIBBS: This provision applies to all BSM automated solicitations valued at or below $100,000, Requests for Quotations (RFQs), that are posted on DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). These automated solicitations are identified by “SPM” in the first three positions of a solicitation number, and “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the solicitation number.

(b) SUBMISSION OF AUTOMATED QUOTES: Automated quotes must be submitted electronically on DIBBS at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil or via electronic data interchange (EDI) prior to the solicitation return date and time for all Requests for Quotations (RFQs) posted on DIBBS. Quotes received by other electronic means, even though within the FAR definition of “electronic commerce” or “electronic and information technology”, such as facsimile (fax) or electronic mail (email), will not be considered for award. Quotes received by U.S. Mail will not be considered for award.

(c) RETURN DATE AND TIME: The time for receipt of quotes is 3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, or when applicable, Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the return date. All return date/times are synchronized to the U.S. Naval Observatory Clock. If a return date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the return date will be extended to the next business day. The direct entry of quote information into the DIBBS website is a method that precludes transmission delays, and will ensure the quote is evaluated. Quote submission using EDI/DIBBS is subject to electronic interface latency which can result in transmission delays. Offerors must consider transmission delays in the EDI/DIBBS system when submitting quotes for consideration, and assume the risk of late transmission/submission.

RETURN DATE AND TIME AUCTION: The solicitation return date/time is a firm closing date/time for auctions. Late quotes will not be considered for award.

RETURN DATE AND TIME NON-AUCTION: Awards will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time unless it is a FAST PACE or there is a documented urgency. At the return date/time all quotes received will be evaluated, therefore, all quotes over “the micropurchase threshold” should be submitted by the return date/time specified in the solicitation. Fast PACE solicitations, which are those solicitations estimated to be less than “the micropurchase threshold”, may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time when they are not auction solicitations.

PACE may extend the solicitation return date for three business days when prices from qualified quotes cannot be determined reasonable. Notice of the extension will be provided by email to all vendors in the competitive range (bids without exception) inviting them to revise their quotes. The notice will be sent to the email address registered on DIBBS for the person that submitted the quote. If a third party submitted the quote, the notice will be sent to the email addresses of the third party and the superuser for the CAGE on whose behalf the quote is being submitted. Vendors are responsible for the accuracy of email addresses in DIBBS and should ensure that they are correct. Vendors that have submitted their best quoted price will not need to resubmit their quote.

(d) HOW INTERRUPTIONS AFFECT RETURN TIME AND DATE: If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts DIBBS processes so that quotes cannot be submitted on DIBBS at the close of a solicitation, the return date/time will be extended to the same time of day on the next business day on which DIBBS processes resume. Notice of the extension will be provided on the DIBBS home page. A vendor’s inability to submit a quote caused by failure of a vendor’s hardware, software, Internet Service Provider, or the World Wide Web itself, is not cause for extension of a solicitation.

(e) LATE QUOTES: Quotes received after the return date/time for auction solicitations will not be considered.

Quotes received after the return date/time for non-auction solicitations may continue to run through the automated evaluation process until the evaluation process has begun. Once the evaluation process has begun, late quotes will only be considered if the contracting officer determines that it is in the best interest of the Government and that considering the late quote would not unduly delay the award. See the provision at 52.213-9008 entitled Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation for information related to the automated evaluation process.

(f) QUOTE REVISIONS: Quotes may be revised on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is awarded or cancelled by resubmitting a new quote. Quote revisions will overlay previously submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the Government database.

(g) QUOTE WITHDRAWAL: Quotes may be withdrawn on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is awarded or cancelled by resubmitting a new quote and selecting a bid type of “no bid.” Quote withdrawal will overlay previously submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the Government database.

(h) SET-ASIDE SOLICITATIONS: Solicitations with an estimated dollar value exceeding “the micropurchase threshold” but not over $100,000 are set-aside for small business when cited in the solicitation. When a solicitation is set-aside, only small business quotes that comply with the non-manufacturer rule will be considered. See FAR 19.502(c) for an explanation of this rule.

(i) FAST PACE SOLICITATIONS: A Fast PACE icon on the DIBBS “search results” screen identifies Fast PACE solicitations. These solicitations, estimated to be less than “the micropurchase threshold”, are not set-aside for small businesses. The solicitations may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time when they are not auction solicitations. Commencing at 3:00 P.M., 3 business days after the issue date, and continuing every day thereafter at 3:00 P.M. until the return date, all quotes “the micropurchase threshold” or less will be evaluated by DLA’s Procurement Automated Contract evaluation (PACE) program for an early award.

DISCLAIMER: The Fast PACE icon is used to indicate a “T” or “U” solicitation with an estimated dollar value of “the micropurchase threshold” or less, not the potential quoted value. Quotes valued less than “the micropurchase threshold” that are submitted in response to solicitations that have an estimated value greater than “the micropurchase threshold”, may result in an early award as a result of being evaluated as a Fast PACE quote, even if not originally designated as such.

(j) AUCTION SOLICITATIONS: Auction solicitations are identifiable by a statement on the solicitation and by a gavel icon appearing on the DIBBS dynamic RFQ search results, the Internet quote form, and the batch quote download file. Prices and other factors that could affect price evaluation (inspection and acceptance point, surplus, Buy American) are publicly displayed for all qualified quotes (bids without exception). (Note: large business quotes above “the micropurchase threshold” are not displayed on auction solicitations set-aside for small business, and any quote above $100,000 will not be displayed). Bidders remain anonymous and have the opportunity to lower their quotes up until the auction closes (the return date/time) in the hope of receiving the award. Awards of auction solicitations will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time without a documented urgency. At the return date/time, all quotes will be evaluated, therefore all quotes for auction solicitations must be submitted by the return date/time specified in the solicitation. DIBBS quotes received after the return date/ time specified in the auction solicitation will not be considered for award.

(End of Provision)

52.213-9008 Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation (PACE) Information

As prescribed in DLAD 13.106-2(b) (92), insert the following provision in all BSM automated solicitations valued at or below $100,000:

Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation (PACE) Information (JAN 06) - DLAD

(a) PACE EVALUATION: Acquisitions are candidates for automated award under DLA's Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation (PACE) program, when the solicitation states that the PACE program applies. The program uses price logic and other automated filters to make fully automated and buyer assisted automated awards valued at $100,000 or less. A purchase order with a “V” in the ninth position denotes an order issued under PACE. PACE only considers “qualified quotes” for award. Qualified quotes are in exact compliance with the solicitation requirements (bid type equal to “bid without exception”), and are submitted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS). Refer to provision 52.213-9007 for information related to DIBBS.

(1) The following are not, by themselves, considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will not make a quote ineligible** for an award:

(i) Quoting delivery days different than the required delivery days;

(ii) **Quoting origin inspection on solicitations requiring destination Inspection;

(iii) Quoting a superseding or previously approved part or correction to a CAGE/part number cited in the acquisition identification description (AID) on an item described by manufacturer’s CAGE and part number;

(iv) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item;

(v) Quoting other than a domestic end product on an unrestricted solicitation;

(vi) Quoting a hazardous item;

(vii) Quoting a new/unused Government surplus item; and

(viii) Quoting “Other” when the solicitation states a Higher Level Quality requirement is required

** NOTE: The Department of Defense is implementing a policy that limits government source inspections, and permits government source inspection for specific instances. Vendors should submit quotes based on the requirements stated in the solicitation. If a vendor’s quote does not comply with the requirements stated in the solicitation, evaluation factors will be applied. See paragraph (b)(1) below. Additionally, should a quote citing origin inspection for a solicitation requiring destination inspection be evaluated manually, the quote may become ineligible for award.

(2) The following are considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will make a quote ineligible for an

automated PACE award:

(i) Quoting an alternate product or otherwise taking exception to the solicitation’s item description;

(ii) Exceptions to Packaging requirements;

(iii) Exceptions to FOB terms;

(iv) Quoting destination inspection on a solicitation requiring origin inspection;

(v) Exceptions to required quantity;

(vi) Quoting a quantity variance greater than what is specified on the solicitation;

(vii)Quoting “None” when a Higher Level Quality Requirement is required; and

(viii) Quoting the use of Child Labor

(b) PACE EVALUATION FACTORS: PACE evaluates all qualified quotes on the basis of price alone and does not consider quantity price breaks. Price evaluation factors are added to the total quoted price in the following instances:

(1) $250 for quoting origin inspection when the Government’s requirement is for destination inspection (see DLAD 52.213-9001; factor does not apply to FMS and DVD (Direct Vendor Delivery) requirements if any qualified quote is above $25,000);

(2) $200 for quoting surplus material on non-critical items; $700 for quoting surplus material on critical items. When an automated quote of surplus material is in line for award after applying the above evaluation factors, a manual evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the more detailed evaluation criteria in DLAD 52.211-9003.;and

(3) The Buy American Act (BAA) places restrictions on the purchase of supplies that are not domestic end products. Refer to DFARS 252.225-7036.

(c) TIE QUOTES: If evaluated offers results in a tie between qualified quotes, the award decision will be based on the following order of precedence:

(1) A domestic end product offer over a non-qualifying country end product offer;

(2) Small business offer over a large business offer;

(3) Offer with the shortest delivery (If a quote contains different deliveries for multiple line items the automated evaluation program uses the average of the delivery periods); and

(4) First quote submitted.

(d) MANUAL EVALUATION: If the solicitation did not state that it was a candidate for PACE evaluation, or if the solicitation stated that it was a candidate for PACE evaluation but PACE is unable to make price reasonableness or contractor responsibility determinations, the solicitation and quote will be evaluated and awarded manually. When a quote is manually evaluated the contracting officer may consider quantity price breaks offered without further solicitation or discussion.

(e) MANUAL EVALUATION FACTORS: If the requirement is evaluated manually, price, delivery, and past performance will be considered in accordance with the terms in the solicitation. Delivery will be considered consistent with DLAD 52.211-9011.

(f) ALTERNATE OFFERS: Alternate offers will not be considered for automated award. Alternate offers may be submitted for evaluation for future procurements to the location identified in DLAD Clause 52.217-9002.

(g) NOTICE OF AWARD: The Government’s offer to purchase, as evidenced by an order, is made on the basis of a submitted quotation. Vendors are requested to notify the administrative contracting officer, within 14 days after receiving the notice of award, when they will not perform in accordance with an order. Failure to provide prompt notice will adversely affect your past performance evaluation if this order is later cancelled at other than the Government’s request.

(h) PACE Distribution: The PACE award will be posted to the DLA DIBBS web site and distributed via email notification with a Web link to an electronic copy of the DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services. Orders will be transmitted via DPACS Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to contractors who are DPACS EDI capable. Contractors that are not DPACS EDI capable will receive their orders via email award notification containing Web links. Delays in the receipt of awards that are caused by email interruptions and Internet access are not excusable delays and will not extend delivery schedules.

(a) The Government will award an Indefinite Delivery Purchase Order (IDPO) Contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and/or other factors specified elsewhere in this solicitation considered. Evaluation of prices will be based on the estimated annual demand, as stated in the schedule.

(b) Failure to agree to DLAD Clause 52.213-9003 (Section I) of this solicitation will affect the award decision for the solicited quantity in that any offer received that fails to agree to an Indefinite Delivery Purchase Order Contract will be rejected as technically unacceptable.

As prescribed in 13.390-1(90) insert the following clause:

INDEFINITE DELIVERY PURCHASE ORDER (IDPO) AGREEMENT (SEP 2008) – DLAD

NOTICE: The Government desires to award an IDPO agreement. The Government will award an Indefinite Delivery Purchase Order (IDPO) Contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and/or other factors specified elsewhere in this solicitation considered.

(a) The contractor agrees that it will accept additional orders under the same terms and conditions specified in the basic order. The initial delivery order represents the minimum quantity, therefore the Government is under no obligation to place additional orders. The Government may place additional orders for a period of _____ (buyer fill-in) year(s) from the date of the initial order. All additional orders will reference the basic order. The aggregate value of all orders shall not exceed the simplified acquisition threshold. Therefore, the maximum value under the IDPO is $100,000.

(b) Evaluation of Quotes. If quotes include variable pricing based upon conditions such as quantity ranges, transportation zones, and/or option years, quotes will be evaluated by establishing an average unit price. The average unit price will be established by adding all unit prices together, then dividing the sum by the number of unit prices.

(c) Pricing of Orders. When issuing orders, the unit price shall be based on the price from the quantity range that will cover the total quantity on the order, regardless of destination.

52.215-9022 Contractor Past Performance Evaluation – Automated Systems

As prescribed in 15.304-90(f)(2), insert the following provision:

52.215-9022 Contractor Past Performance Evaluation – Automated Systems (JAN 2009) – DLAD

(a) General.

(1) Past performance is an indicator of a contractor’s ability to perform satisfactorily on future awards.

(2) When used in best value source selections, past performance information will be evaluated based upon a comparative assessment among contractors from which quotes/offers were received.

(b) Scope. Past performance information shall not be used in this acquisition to -

(1) determine a contractor’s technical acceptability;

(2) make responsibility determinations.

(c) Past Performance Systems:

(1) The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) will evaluate a contractor’s past performance, including, but not limited to, their record of conforming to specifications, conformance to the standards of good workmanship, adherence to contract schedules, and commitment to customer satisfaction. DLA will utilize the following information systems in evaluation of contractor past performance: Automated Best Value System (ABVS); Past Performance Information Retrieval System – Statistical Reporting (PPIRS-SR).

(2) The ABVS is the DLA Legacy computerized past performance system that collects a contractor’s existing past performance data and translates it into a numeric score. The contracting officer then uses the score as an additional evaluation factor when making best value award decisions.

(3) The PPIRS-SR is a web-enabled, government-wide application that collects quantifiable delivery and quality contractor past performance information from the Department of Defense (DoD) contracting activities.

(4) Definitions:

(i) “Score(s),” as used in this provision, refers to the ABVS assessment of a contractor’s delivery and quality performance on past DLA contracts.

(ii) “Classification(s),” as used in this provision, refers to the PPIRS-SR assessment of a contractor’s delivery and quality performance on past DoD contracts, including DLA.

(5) ABVS Scores:

(i) DLA assigns an ABVS score to each contractor based on the contractor’s past performance. Contractors receive scores for performance in each Federal Supply Class (FSC scores). The FSC scores are based on DLA consolidated performance history. A contractor may have multiple FSC scores but will have only one DLA score, which is a compilation of the contractor’s FSC scores for all business conducted with DLA.

(ii) The ABVS score is a combination of a vendor's delivery and quality scores; scores range from zero to a perfect score of 100.

(iii) Scores are calculated daily based upon two years of data.

(iv) ABVS delivery scores provide quantification of the number and severity of contractor-caused delinquencies, terminations, cancellations, and withdrawals for products in that FSC (or, if the contractor has no history for the particular FSC, for all products the contractor provided to DLA within the time period under consideration).

(v) ABVS quality scores reflect the number and type of quality complaints (product and packaging nonconformances) issued against a contractor for products in that FSC or for all products it provided to DLA, as described in (iv), above.

(vi) Data sources for past performance information include:

(A) Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PEDREP);

(B) Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP);

(C) DLA Preaward Contracting System (DPACS).

(vii) DLA will make negative quality and delivery data reflected in the ABVS score available to contractors daily for review and challenge.

(viii) For further details concerning ABVS Score calculations and contractor data challenge procedures, refer to the ABVS website at http://www.dscr.dla.mil/UserWeb/proc/ABVM/Abvm.htm

(6) PPIRS-SR Classifications

(i) PPIRS-SR classifications are based on Federal Supply Class (FSC).

(ii) Classifications are calculated monthly based upon three years of data.

(iii) PPIRS-SR Classifications are comprised of a Delivery Score and a Quality color ranking.

(iv) The PPIRS-SR delivery score is based upon the total number of contract line items received and on weighted late deliveries.

(v) The contractor quality performance ranking is based upon a comparison among all contractors within an FSC.

(vi) Data sources for past performance information include:

(A) Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PEDREP);

(B) Systems, Applications and Products in Data Processing (SAP);

(C) DLA Preaward Contracting System (DPACS);

(D) Automated Best Value System (ABVS).

(vii) PPIRS-SR will make negative quality and delivery data reflected in the PPIRS-SR Classification available to contractors for review and challenge.

(viii) For details concerning PPIRS-SR Classification calculations and contractor data challenge procedures, refer to the “PPIRS-SR Procedural Guide for Application Development” at: http://www.ppirs.gov/ppirs-sr/ppirssrmanual102004.pdf

(7) Evaluation Using ABVS Scores and PPIRS-SR Classifications

(i) The Contracting Officer will first evaluate contractors using the ABVS FSC score for the solicited FSC in effect at the time of evaluation. The Contracting Officer will use a contractor’s DLA score to evaluate a contractor without an FSC score for that particular FSC. The Contracting Officer may consider the volume of business on which the FSC score is based as a measure of confidence in the score’s indication of performance risk. The Contracting Officer may choose to use the DLA score if the volume of business would tend to make the FSC-specific score an inadequate indicator of performance risk. The Contracting Office also may use the DLA score if the FSC scores among contractors are relatively equal. For non-NSN items, the Contracting Officer will evaluate using a contractor’s DLA score in effect at the time of evaluation. Contractors with no performance history for the particular FSC or any other FSC, Agency-wide, for the timeframe being rated will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably, and will be assigned a “999.9” in ABVS.

(ii) In order for the Government to assess performance risk, if the quoter/offeror having the lowest evaluated price also has an ABVS FSC score below 70 and would potentially be bypassed under best value in favor of a higher priced quoter/offeror with a higher ABVS FSC score, then past performance evaluation will be accomplished using PPIRS-SR, in lieu of ABVS, for all quotes/offers received.

(iii) Evaluation of PPIRS-SR delivery assessments will be based upon a numerical scale ranging from 0 (low) to 100 (high). A ‘0’ (zero) delivery score with

‘0’ (zero) lines is used to designate instances wherein the contractor has no history for the particular FSC being rated.

(iv) In PPIRS-SR, contractor quality will be assessed based upon relative ranking among all contractors within a given FSC.

(v) In the case of a contractor without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available in the PPIRS-SR, the contractor will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably on past performance.

(vi) Contractor caused discrepancies or delinquencies will be reflected in a contractor's past performance assessment. Repair, replacement or reimbursement of quality and packaging defects will not provide relief of negative DLA performance data. Contractor caused delivery extensions, regardless of consideration paid, will be reflected in the delivery score.

(8) The Contracting Officer may collect and analyze other information in addition to ABVS/PPIRS-SR past performance information for requisitions in excess of the SAT.

52.216-9003 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT-SPECIALTY METALS – MARKET PRICE -

PROSPECTIVE ADJUSTMENTS (JAN 2007)

Pursuant to 16.203-4(91)(iv) insert the following clause:

(a) WARRANTIES. The Contractor warrants that--

(1) The base unit prices set forth in the Schedule do not include

allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this clause;

(2) The Contract Line Items included in the TABLE (paragraph (f)) are subject to the Preference for Domestic Specialty Metals clause of this contract; and

(3) The prices to be invoiced shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of this clause.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this clause--

(1) "Market price indicator," as specified in column 5 of the TABLE is the measure of changes in the market price of the material cost for the specialty metal(s) included in the contract price of the contract line item Numbers (CLINs) subject to adjustment under this clause.

(2) "Base unit price" is the unit price of a CLIN listed in the TABLE, as applicable, during the initial contract period, or during an option period, exclusive of any price adjustment pursuant to this clause.

(3) "Base period" is the three calendar months preceding the month containing, as applicable, the closing date for receipt of offers (final proposal revisions if discussions were held) under negotiation procedures or the date of bid opening under sealed bid procedures. In addition, if the contract includes a period option, the base period is the arithmetic average of the three calendar months immediately preceding the month prior to the month containing the effective date for the option exercised.

(4) "Base market price indicator" (BMPI) for a CLIN listed in the TABLE is the arithmetic average of the market price indicator values for the base period for the specialty metal(s) specified in column (2) of the TABLE for that CLIN.

(5) “Base specialty metals cost” (BSMC) for a CLIN listed in the TABLE is the dollar value of the direct materials cost of a specialty metal as recorded in Column (4) of the TABLE for such item.

(6) “Adjustment period” for purposes of this contract, will be: (if none marked, adjustments will be done annually)

( ) Quarterly – adjustments will be calculated following the publication of the market price indicator for the second month in each consecutive three calendar month period.

( ) Semi-annually – adjustments will be calculated following the publication of the market price indicator for the fifth month in each consecutive six calendar month period.

( ) Annually - adjustments will be calculated following the publication of the market price indicator for the eleventh month in each consecutive twelve calendar month period.

(7) "Adjusting market price indicator" (AMPI) for a CLIN listed in the TABLE during the first adjustment period of contract performance is the arithmetic average of the market price indicator values for the three months immediately preceding the month prior to the first month of contract performance. For subsequent adjustment periods, the adjusting market price indicator for such CLIN is the arithmetic average of the three calendar months immediately preceding the month prior to the first month of the current adjustment period for which a prospective adjustment is being calculated.

(8) “Adjusted specialty metal material cost” is the base specialty material cost, adjusted as specified in paragraph (c)(2) on a prospective basis.

(9) “Non-specialty metals base price” is the base unit price for a CLIN minus the base specialty metal material cost for that CLIN.

(10) “Adjusted CLIN unit price” is sum of the adjusted specialty metal material unit cost and the non-specialty metals unit price rounded to four decimal places.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) Promptly following publication of the market price indicator(s) for the month specified in paragraph (b)(5) of the current adjustment period, the Contracting Officer shall calculate the adjusted specialty metal material price(s) and adjusted contract line item unit price(s), and modify the contract accordingly to incorporate CLIN prices that will be applicable to new orders issued during the next adjustment period.

(2) CALCULATIONS. All calculations shall be rounded to four decimal places. On the month prior to the beginning of the next adjustment period, the price adjustment(s) shall be calculated as follows:

(A) Compute the adjusting market price indicator (AMPI) for a CLIN, i.e., the arithmetic average of prices published for the indicator(s) shown in Column (5) of the TABLE for such CLIN, for the three month period preceding the current month.

(B) Using the base market price indicator (BMPI) (Column (6) of TABLE and the adjusting market price indicator (AMPI) computed per (A) above, calculate the market price indicator percentage change as follows:

AMPI – BMPI = ± market price indicator change percentage (MPIC %)

BMPI

(C) Use the base specialty metal(s) cost (BSMC $) (Column (4) of the TABLE) and the MPIC % ((B) above) to calculate the new adjusted specialty metals price as follows:

BSMC $ x MPIC % = ± specialty metal price change (SMPC)($)

± SMPC + BSMC = adjusted specialty metal cost per CLIN Material Price

Note: If more than one specialty metal is included in the TABLE for a CLIN, the SMPC is calculated for each using the former of the above two formulas and the change for each (increase or decrease) added to the BSMC to calculate the adjusted specialty metal cost per CLIN (vice the latter formula above.)

(D) Determine the adjusted contract line item unit price by adding the adjusted specialty metal(s) cost(s) to the non-specialty metals portion of the CLIN price.

(3) MODIFICATIONS. Price adjustments under this clause shall be effected by contract modification showing the base unit price(s), calculation of the adjusting market price(s), the base contract line item unit price, and the calculations used to arrive at the adjusted contract line item unit price(s).

(4) INVOICES. The prices invoiced and payable under this contract shall be based on the unit price(s) in the contract on the date the order is awarded.

(5) FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor’s failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor’s control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of the Default clause of this contract.

(6) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT.

(i) The Contractor agrees that the total increase in any specialty metal material cost pursuant to these economic price adjustment provisions shall not exceed ___% (percent) of the original material cost in any applicable contract year (whether a single year or multiyear program), except as provided hereafter.

(ii) If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the provisions of this clause will be required that will exceed the current contract ceiling price for any item, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the expected increase. The notification shall include a revised ceiling the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

(iii) If an actual increase in the indicator would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the Contracting Officer may issue a contract modification to raise the ceiling. If the contract ceiling will not be raised, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.

(7) REVISION OF MARKET PRICE INDICATOR. In the event –

(i) Any applicable market price indicator is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that the market price indicator consistently and substantially fails to reflect market conditions,

the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute and the contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the price was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions.

(d) FINAL INVOICE. The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice under (1) the basic contract and under (2) each option period, that the amounts invoiced during the period have applied all adjustments required by this clause.

(e) DISPUTES. Any dispute arising under this clause shall be determined in accordance with and subject to the “Disputes” clause of the contract.

(f) TABLE. The offeror shall complete columns (1) through (4) in the TABLE which follows, for all items containing specialty metals subject to adjustment under this clause (see paragraph (a)(2)). The offeror shall include with its offer adequate data to support derivation of the dollar value of specified material in the base unit price subject to adjustment (column (4)). Data supplied shall, at a minimum, provide an informal cost breakdown reflecting the current raw material cost, the specialty metal specification and the quantity of material per contract line item unit price.

(1) | (2) | (3) | (4) | (5) | (6)

52.216-9011 Economic Price Adjustment – DoD Electronic Mall (EMALL)

As prescribed in 16.203-4(92)(a)(1)(90)(i), insert the following clause:

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT – DOD ELECTRONIC MALL (EMALL) (JUL 2006) – DLAD

(a) The Contractor warrants that the unit prices offered are and shall remain --

(1) the established prices for the same commercial items sold in substantial quantities to the general public as reflected in published catalogs and/or price lists; and

(2) as low or lower than prices being offered to its most preferred customers for like quantities of the same items under comparable terms and conditions.

(b) Price Changes.

(1) Decreases: The Contractor may decrease prices without limitation and without prior notification to the Contracting Officer.

(2) Increases: The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing 30 days prior to the effective date of any price increase.

(i) The Contractor is limited to annual price increases not exceeding 5% cumulatively per item.

(ii) Any increase exceeding 5% in an annual period, whether individual or cumulative, is subject to the Contracting Officer’s approval and requires modification of the contract. The Contractor shall provide supporting data, including verifiable catalog or published list prices, corresponding increases in cost, discount structure, or any other information deemed appropriate by the Contracting Officer. Increases in commercial catalogs or published price lists do not automatically authorize corresponding increases in contract prices.

(iii) Price increases shall not apply to orders placed prior to approval of the price increase.

(iv) Within 30 days after receipt of the Contractor’s written notification, the Contracting Officer may cancel, without liability to either party, any undelivered portion of the contract items affected by the increase.

(c) Any dispute under this clause shall be resolved in accordance with the Disputes Clause of this contract.

(End of clause)

52.216-9012 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT (EPA) For UGR - A COMPONENTS – ACTUAL MATERIAL COSTS (APRIL 2007 SUBSISTENCE)

Pursuant to FAR 16.203-4(c) and DLAD 16.203-4(c)(90)(2) insert the following clause:

(a) WARRANTIES. The Contractor warrants that---

(1) distribution prices covered by this contract do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this clause; and

(2) all prices invoiced under this contract shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of this clause.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this clause, the term:

(1) “Contract unit price” means the total fixed price per unit charged to DSCP for a product delivered to DSCP’s customers. The contract unit price consists of two parts: Total Components price and Distribution price. The sum of these two prices shall be rounded up or down as applicable, (based on the rule of 5 or over to round up) to two (2) places to the right of the decimal point to calculate the contract unit price. Only the delivered price component of the contract unit price is subject to adjustment under this clause.

(2) “Total components price” means the total cost to the Contractor for all the food and disposable component items of the ration module, which is calculated by summing the total individual costs to the Contractor of each food and disposable component item in the ration module. The total cost to the Contractor for each ration component is calculated as the net unit price charged to the Contractor for that component, multiplied by the quantity of units per ration module. The net unit price for each component is the price paid by the Contractor to its supplier(s) for delivery of the component product to its distribution/assembly location (often called the “delivered price” or “landed cost”), taking into account any product discounts or rebates offered by the suppliers. The most recent vendor’s invoice price for a ration component should usually meet this definition as the net unit price for the component. The following table gives an example of how to calculate the Total Components price:

LUNCH/DINNER MENU 1 PERISHABLE - 8970-01-525-6813 - Chicken Parmesan
| Net | Net Unit | Case | Qty/ | Units/ | Component
Menu Item | Unit | Price | Pack | Ration | Ration | $ / Ration
Chicken Parmesan | CS | $22.45 | 50 PC | 50 PC | 50/50 | $22.45
Sauce | CS | $4.25 | 6 CN | 3 CN | 3/6 | $2.13
Lemon Cake | CS | $5.17 | 8 EA | 2 EA | 2/8 | $1.29
Total Components Price |  |  |  |  |  | $25.87

(3) “Distribution price” means the firm fixed price portion of the contract unit price, offered as a dollar amount per unit of issue, which represents all the elements of the contract price other than the total components price. The distribution price typically covers the Contractor’s projected general and administrative expenses, overhead, packaging costs, transportation costs from the contractor’s distribution/assembly point, and any other projected expenses associated with delivery to DSCP’s customers, plus profit. This price shall remain constant for the complete term of the contract period then in effect. Distribution prices shall be formatted to two (2) places to the right of the decimal point, for example, $4.50 per semi-perishable ration module.

(4) “Ordering catalog” means the listing of contract ration modules to be delivered to Government customers, and their corresponding contract unit prices available for ordering under this contract.

(5) “Ordering week” means the 7-day week, from Sunday at 12:01 AM through the following Saturday until midnight Eastern Time (ET, standard or daylight as applicable), during which the Government place orders for UGR-A modules to the Contractor.

(c) PRICE ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) General.

(A) All ordering catalog prices shall be fixed and remain unchanged until changed pursuant to this clause or other applicable provision of the contract. If the Contractor’s applicable total components price of a ration component(s) changes (i.e. increase or decrease) after the contract date, the corresponding contract unit price may be increased, or shall be decreased, by the same amount. The price change shall be effective at the beginning of the next ordering week. All ordering catalog unit prices computed in accordance with this clause and in effect when an order is placed shall remain in effect for that order through delivery. DSCP will be charged the contract unit price at time of each order regardless of any changes in the unit price occurring in any subsequent ordering week. In the event the Contractor finds a price recorded in the ordering catalog was not computed in accordance with this clause, and the error resulted in a higher contract unit price, than would have applied if this clause had been correctly applied, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing and promptly thereafter submit a refund proposal. The posting of updated prices in the ordering catalog, calculated in accordance with this clause, constitutes a modification to this contract. No further contract modification is required to effect the change.

(B) The Contractor shall submit a request weekly for approval of price changes and for the retention of current prices, no later than Thursday, 1:00 PM ET to be effective in the following ordering week’s ordering catalog prices. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of its request in the form of an EDI 832 transaction set or via an update to the USDA web-ordering tool, as applicable. The notice shall include the Contractor’s adjustment in the total components price component of the applicable contract unit price.

(C) The Contracting Officer may at any time require the submission of supporting data to substantiate any requested price change or the requested continuation of the pre-existing price for any item, including prices applicable to prior ordering weeks. Upon notice from the Contracting Officer that supporting data is required, the Contractor shall immediately furnish to the Government all supporting data, including but not limited to, invoices, quotes, price lists and any other substantiating information requested by the Contracting Officer.

(D) The Contracting Officer may reject any price change or request to maintain a current price for any item, to the extent such price is found not to be representative of the Contractor’s current total components price.

(E) Should the Contracting Officer determine that a price change request contained an erroneous unit price or price change, the Contracting Officer may direct that the contract unit price be set at the amount determined by the Contracting Officer to reflect the accurate Total Components price. If the accurate price is lower than the erroneous price or price change, then the contractor shall promptly thereafter submit a refund proposal.

(F) If the Contracting Officer does not notify the Contractor by Friday, 12:30 PM ET that a price or a price change request is being questioned or has been found to be erroneous, the requested contract unit price change(s) will be incorporated in the ordering catalog to be effective with the beginning of the following ordering week. Price change requests that the Contracting Officer questions or finds to be inconsistent with the requirements of this clause shall not be posted until the Contracting Officer specifically authorizes the posting.

(G) For all proposed prices that were not correctly entered in time into the ordering catalog for the following week, or were identified following the commencement of the applicable ordering week, and for any excessive prices found in prior ordering catalogs, that resulted in incorrectly higher contract unit prices, the Contractor shall promptly refund the difference between the correct amount and the incorrect amount to the Government, whether identified by the Contractor or by the Contracting Officer.

(H) As an example, the following illustrates a request for a contract unit price change for Lunch/Dinner Perishable Menu 1:

Price Effective for Ordering Week 13-19 Aug 2006

LUNCH/DINNER MENU 1 PERISHABLE - 8970-01-525-6813 - Chicken Parmesan
| Net | Net Unit | Case | Qty/ | Units/ | Component
Menu Item | Unit | Price | Pack | Ration | Ration | $ / Ration
Chicken Parmesan | CS | $22.45 | 50 PC | 50 PC | 50/50 | $22.45
Sauce | CS | $4.25 | 6 CN | 3 CN | 3/6 | $2.13
Lemon Cake | CS | $5.17 | 8 EA | 2 EA | 2/8 | $1.29
Total Components Price |  |  |  |  |  | $25.87
Distribution Price |  |  |  |  |  | $4.25
Contract Unit Price |  |  |  |  |  | $30.12

On 15 Aug 2006, the Contractor has received a new delivery of Chicken Parmesan at $21.50 per case, and Lemon Cake at a delivered price of $5.30 per case. The Contractor would request a contract unit price change as follows (requested changes in bold):

| Net | Net Unit | Case | Qty/ | Units/ | Component
Menu Item | Unit | Price | Pack | Ration | Ration | $ / Ration
Chicken Parmesan | CS | $21.50 | 50 PC | 50 PC | 50/50 | $21.50
Sauce | CS | $4.25 | 6 CN | 3 CN | 3/6 | $2.13
Lemon Cake | CS | $5.30 | 8 EA | 2 EA | 2/8 | $1.33
Total Components Price |  |  |  |  |  | $24.96
Distribution Price |  |  |  |  |  | $4.25
Contract Unit Price |  |  |  |  |  | $29.21

(2) Limitations. All adjustments under this clause shall be limited to the effect on contract unit prices of actual increases or decreases in the net unit prices for material. There shall be no upward adjustment for—

(A) Production cost increases incurred by the Contractor

(B) Changes in the quantities of material.

(d) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The aggregate of contract unit price increases for each item under this clause during any single performance period (base or option period) shall not exceed 10 percent (%) of the initial contract unit price in such performance period except as provided hereafter. There is no downward limitation on the aggregated percentage of decreases that may be made under this clause.

(1) If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the provisions of this clause will be required that will exceed the current contract ceiling price for any item, or in the event the latest actual cost for an item would exceed the allowable ceiling price under the contract, then the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the facts and circumstances. The notification shall include a revised ceiling the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of the remaining contract performance period, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

(2) If an actual increase in the component delivered prices would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the Contracting Officer may issue a contract modification to establish a separate price increase limit for the item for the remainder of the current performance period. If the contract ceiling will not be raised, or raised sufficiently, to enable continued ordering of the item, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.

(e) EXAMINATION OF RECORDS.

The Contracting Officer or designated representative shall have the right to examine the Contractor’s books, records, documents and other data the Contracting Officer deems necessary to verify Contractor adherence to the provisions of this clause. Such examination may occur during all reasonable times until the end of 3 years after the date of final payment under this contract or the time periods specified in Subpart 4.703 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whichever is earlier.

(f) FINAL INVOICE. The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice under the basic contract and any option period that the amounts invoiced hereunder have applied all decreases required by this clause.

(g) DISPUTES. Any dispute arising under this clause shall be determined in accordance with the “Disputes” clause of the contract.

52.216-9013 Evaluation of Offers for Indefinite Delivery Type Solicitations

As prescribed in 16.506(92)(a) insert the following provision:

EVALUATION OF OFFERS FOR INDEFINITE DELIVERY TYPE SOLICITATIONS (APR 2008) – DLAD

(a) When FAR clause 52.216-21 or one of its alternates is contained in this solicitation, this solicitation is for a Requirements contract. Offers will be evaluated on the basis of the estimated annual quantity. If quantity increments are offered with various prices, the highest price offered will be used for evaluation.

(b) When FAR clause 52.216-22 is contained in this solicitation, this solicitation is for an Indefinite Quantity contract. Offers will be evaluated on the basis of the estimated annual quantity. Unless (c) is checked below, if quantity increments are offered with various prices, the highest price offered will be used for evaluation. If line items for both DLA Direct and Customer Direct are included in the schedule, offers will be evaluated based on the total extended price for the DLA Direct and Customer Direct line items.

> (c) [ ] If checked, and subject to the terms and conditions of the solicitation relating to the evaluation of offers, the following procedures will be followed:

(1) When offers are requested on a quantity increment basis, each CLIN will be evaluated for price by:

[ ] applying a weighted factor of 18% to the first quantity increment, 36% to the second increment, and 46% to the third increment to arrive at an average weighted unit price.

[ ] applying a weighted factor of 5% to the first quantity increment, 65% to the second increment, 25% to the third increment, and 5% to the fourth increment to arrive at an average weighted unit price.

This average weighted unit price will be multiplied by the estimated annual quantity that may be procured during the contract period to arrive at a total annual evaluated price for each CLIN. If the solicitation provides for separately priced option periods, average weighted prices will be calculated as described above in (1) for each option period and then added to the base contract period total to determine the total estimated price of that line item for the evaluation.

(2) When quantity increment prices are not requested, offers for each CLIN will be evaluated by multiplying the unit price by the estimated quantity that may be procured during the contract period to arrive at total price for each CLIN.

(3) Prices offered must be unit prices only which are clearly stated and which require no further interpretation by the Government to determine the actual offered price. Prices must not be stated as part of a pricing formula or as charges per lot. Unit prices offered must include costs of compliance with all solicitation requirements, with the exception of additive CLINs. For each item of supply for which a price is offered, prices must be offered for each quantity increment and year. Failure to submit proposed prices in accordance with these instructions may result in rejection of the offer.

(4) In the event first article testing and/or technical data are required for any or all of the CLINS, the cost of such testing and data will be added to the appropriate CLIN or prorated based on the ratio of the estimated quantity for each CLIN to the total estimated quantity of the various CLINs covering the same item (NSN). In the event an offeror is low only on one CLIN (where there are several CLINs for the same item) (NSN), the cost of testing and data pertaining to that CLIN will be added for evaluation purposes.

(5) [ ] If checked, when F.O.B. origin offers are authorized, transportation costs will be considered in evaluation and will be based on the best estimated quantity of each CLIN as specified elsewhere in this solicitation. Carload or truckload rates will be used to evaluate the cost of transportation for each CLIN unless the best estimated quantity would not constitute a carload or truckload. In such case, Less than Carload (LCL) or Less than Truckload (LTL) rates will be used for evaluation purposes.

(End of Provision)

Alternate I (APR 2008). As prescribed in 16.506(92)(a) Use ALT I when assigning the greatest weight to the quantity increment most likely to be procured for each delivery order. Replace paragraph (c)(1) with:

> (c) ) [ ] If checked, and subject to the terms and conditions of the solicitation relating to the evaluation of offers, the following procedures will be followed:

(1) When offers are requested on a quantity increment basis, each CLIN will be evaluated for price on a weighted basis.

(i) To be considered for award for any item, prices must be offered for each quantity increment cited. Incremental quantities within which it is anticipated orders are most likely to be issued are assigned the highest weights.

(ii) Offers will be evaluated by multiplying the designated weight by the unit price for each order increment and adding the results. Only one award will be made for each line item. Each delivery order will be issued at the price offered for that increment.

(iii) The weighted average evaluated price will be developed for each item using the formula stated in subparagraphs (A) through (C) below.

INCREMENT | WEIGHT | INCREMENT | WEIGHT
A | ________ | D | _______
B | ________ | E | _______
C | ________ | F | _______

(A) The weighted average price (for a given item for a given year) will be arrived at as follows:

(Offered unit price) x (increment weight) = weighted unit price (Sum of weighted unit prices) divided by (the sum of the weights) = weighted average price.

(B) (The weighted average price) x (the estimated annual requirement) = estimated annual cost for a given item for a given year.

(C) The sum of the estimated annual costs for a given item for the base year plus any option periods = the total estimated cost for that item.

(End of Provision)

52.216-9014 Area Requirements – Tentative Destinations

As prescribed in 16.506-93(a) insert the following provision:

AREA REQUIREMENTS – TENTATIVE DESTINATIONS (APR 2008) – DLAD

Each tentative destination designates an area of the Continental United States, excluding Alaska, consisting of certain states, or other geographical locations, as more specifically described below. If offers are solicited on the basis of delivery f.o.b. origin, the tentative destination(s) will be used in the evaluation of offers. Each tentative destination, and the area which it represents, is designated by a separate Contract Line Item Number (CLIN).

(b) Except as otherwise provided by this solicitation, the Government shall order its requirements for each item of supply within the geographic area designated by the tentative destination (CLIN).

(c) The tentative destinations (CLINS) for the supplies set forth covered by this solicitation are as follows:

Item No. (CLIN) | TENTATIVE DESTINATION | AREA

(Will be indicated in the solicitation)

(End of provision)

52.216-9015 Area Requirements- Contiguous U.S.

(End of provision)

52.216-9017 Single or Multiple Awards

As prescribed in 16.506(f)(92) insert the following clause:

Single or Multiple Awards (APR 2008) – DLAD

(a) In accordance with FAR 52.216-27, Single or Multiple Awards, the Government may elect to award a single task/delivery order contract or to award multiple task/delivery order contracts for the same or similar supplies or services to two or more sources under this solicitation.

(b) Evaluation Criteria for Award: Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the evaluation provision(s) specified in the solicitation. In the event of multiple awards, the same evaluation criteria will be used to determine which proposals represent the best value to the Government. The exact number of awards is left to the discretion of the Contracting Officer based on the best interest of the Government, considering factors such as the administrative burden to the Government to administer multiple awards, the recurring nature of the requirement, the need to increase the active production base for military requirements, and the benefits that may be achieved through order-level competition.

(c) Task/Delivery Order Placement Procedure: In the event of multiple awards, each awardee will be provided an opportunity to compete for individual task/delivery orders unless an exception at FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies. However, all testing and approval requirements, such as, but not limited to, first article testing, shall be satisfactorily completed prior to participating in order competition. Requests for order proposals may be transmitted to awardees by electronic, facsimile or oral means. The Contracting Officer shall establish a common cut-off date for the submission of proposals. As a minimum, evaluation criteria for order placement will include price. The Government reserves the right to consider additional factors such as past performance on earlier orders under the contract, quality, timeliness, cost control, and delivery. The request for order proposals will specify the evaluation factors

(d) Conditional Award on Alternate Offer. The Government reserves the right to include amongst the multiple awardees any offeror who has submitted an alternate offer that has not yet been approved, but which has a reasonable likelihood of being approved within 180 days. This award would be a conditional award by which the alternate offeror would only be eligible to compete for orders in the event that the alternate offer is approved. The purpose of this conditional award is so that award to known acceptable sources to the Government is not delayed pending review of the alternate offer. In the event that the alternate offer is subsequently approved, and any required first article test is successfully completed and approved, that offeror will be eligible to compete for all subsequent task/delivery orders. In the event that the alternate offer is rejected, the conditional award will be subject to a no-fault termination at no cost to the Government. For alternate offer items, the Government reserves the right to impose first article test if recommended by the Engineering Support Activity. In such cases, the modification finalizing the award will also add the first article requirement. From the time the modification is issued, the contractor is legally bound to perform on delivery orders and shall comply with all terms and conditions of the contract.

(e) The competition advocate at each contracting activity/office (as defined in DLAD 2.101) shall act as the activity task and delivery order contract ombudsman pursuant to FAR 16.505(b)(5). The ombudsman shall attempt to resolve contractor complaints relative to placement of individual task and delivery orders at the local level. Complaints which cannot be so resolved will be resolved by the DLA competition advocate. Task/delivery order complaints must specify they are being filed pursuant to FAR 16.505.

(End of clause)

52.216-9029 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT LEAD, BATTERY CONSIGNMENT PROGRAM (FEB 2009)

(a) WARRANTIES. The contractor warrants that --

(1) The prices set forth in the Schedule do not include allowances for any contingency covered by this clause; and

(2) The contractor further agrees that there will be no price adjustment in the contract unit prices as provided by this clause for any additional costs incurred applicable to items purchased under this contract during the first 12 month contract period, nor prior to the effective date of a contract modification effecting such an adjustment.

(3) The prices to be invoiced shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of this clause.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this clause--

(1) “Unit Price Subject to Adjustment” (UPSA) is the estimated unit lead price per battery. The Contracting Officer will calculate the UPSA at the time of award using the London Metals Exchange Standard Lead average price for the most recent month available at the time of award, and the Government estimate of the number of pounds of lead required for each battery. The UPSA shall remain fixed throughout the life of the contract, including option periods and shall not be affected by any adjustment under this clause. For purposes of this contract, the Government’s estimate of the number of pounds of lead required for each battery is as follows:

CLIN/NSN GOVT ESTIMATED LBS OF LEAD/BATTERY

______________________ __________________________

______________________ __________________________

______________________ __________________________

(2) “Total Adjusted Lead Price” (TALP) for each contract year after the first is the price of the lead contained in each battery at the time of adjustment based on the Government estimated pounds and the London Metal Exchange Standard Lead monthly average from the tenth month of the preceding contract year.

(3) For purposes of this clause, “contract year” is a 365-day (366-day for leap year) period beginning with and including the first effective day of each contract performance/ordering period.

(4) “Adjustment Band” is the minimum percentage increase or decrease in the TALP compared to the UPSA (for the first adjustment) or the previous contract year’s TALP (for subsequent adjustments) required in order to warrant a price adjustment. For purposes of this contract, the adjustment band is +___% to -___%. When the percentage change is less than the specified percentages, no price adjustment will be made.

(5) “Adjusted Contract Unit Price” is the revised unit price of the specified CLIN/NSN, based on the TALP.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS.

(1) The calculation required for adjustment of the contract item unit prices shall be calculated before the beginning of each contract year after the first. Not more than 60 days and not less than 30 days prior to the end of the current contract year the contractor will submit the calculated TALP and, if applicable based on the adjustment band, the adjusted increased or decreased contract unit price to the contracting officer. The contractor shall also submit the London Metals Exchange Standard Lead prices used in the calculations.

(2) The calculation of the TALP for the next contract year shall be made by multiplying the Government estimated pounds of lead for each battery line item by the average of published final prices per pound for Standard Lead from the London Metals Exchange for the 10th month of the contract year in which the calculation is being made.

(3) If the percentage change between the TALP for the next contract year and the UPSA (for the first adjustment) or the current TALP (for subsequent adjustments) is equal to or greater than the percentages established in the adjusting band, then the calculated percentage change (up or down) will be applied to the current contract unit price to arrive at the adjusted contract unit price (correspondingly up or down) for each battery line item, which is applicable in the next contract year in accordance with (4) below.

(4) Any price adjustment under this clause will be effected by a contract modification showing the revised contract unit prices in Section B. The contracting officer may unilaterally determine the applicable price adjustment if the data required in paragraph (c)(1) of this clause is not submitted as required in paragraph (c)(1).

(5)CALCULATIONS. All calculations shall be rounded to two decimal places.

(6) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Contractor agrees that the total cumulative increase in any contract unit price pursuant to this economic price adjustment provision shall not exceed ___% (percent) of the original UPSA for each contract year. There is no limitation on the amount of decreases that may be made under this clause.

(7) REVISION OF MARKET PRICE INDICATOR. In the event –

(i) The applicable market price indicator is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that the market price indicator consistently and substantially fails to reflect market conditions, the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute and the contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the price was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions.

(d) FINAL INVOICE. The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice that the amounts invoiced hereunder have applied all decreases required by this clause.

(e) DISPUTES. Any dispute arising under this clause shall be determined in accordance with and subject to the “Disputes” clause of the contract.

d. Paragraph (f)(2): Enter the minimal dollar amount for an adjustment to be made for retroactive price changes. The default is $500.

52.216-9030 ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT – DEPARTMENT OF LABOR PRICE INDEX (FEB 2009)

(a) WARRANTIES. The Contractor warrants that--

(1) The base unit prices set forth in the Schedule do not include allowances for any portion of the contingency covered by this clause; and

(2) The prices to be invoiced shall be computed in accordance with the provisions of this clause.

(b) DEFINITIONS. As used throughout this clause--

(1) "Price Index" for the purpose of price adjustment under this clause shall be the revised version of the Producer Price Index(es) reported in the monthly publication entitled, “Producer Price Indexes”, published by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics for the following code number(s) and title(s):

_______________________________________________________________________

(2) "Base price index" for the first contract year shall be the three-month arithmetic average of the final index values for the month preceding, the month of, and the month following the closing date for receipt of proposals (final proposal revisions, if discussions were held). For a contract year other than the first contract year, the “base price index” shall be the final adjusting price index (see (3) below) from the immediately preceding contract year.

(3) "Adjusting price index" shall be the two month arithmetic average of the indexes published for the latest two months preceding the month in which the adjusting contract modification is effective.

(4) "Base unit price" for the first contract year is the unit price applicable to a quantity of a contract line item established at contract award, exclusive of any price adjustment pursuant to this clause. For subsequent contract years, the base unit price is the final contract unit price applicable to a quantity of a contract line item at the end of the immediately preceding contract year, which may include adjustments pursuant to this clause.

(5) “Adjustment period” is the period during which a particular adjustment to the unit price under this clause (calculated at the beginning of the adjustment period) will be applicable. The length of each adjustment period in months shall be calculated by dividing 12 by the number of adjustments allowed per year in (c)(1) below.

(c) ADJUSTMENTS. Promptly following the end of each adjustment period, the Contracting Officer shall calculate the adjusting index and any adjusted contract unit price(s) for the new adjustment period, and modify the contract accordingly. Price adjustments pursuant to this clause shall be made by contract modification, issued by the contracting officer and will show the base price index, the adjusting price index, the base unit price, and the mathematical calculations. The price adjustment shall be applicable only to deliveries occurring after the effective date of the contract modification establishing the unit price for the adjustment period in which the deliveries occur. The adjustment for each adjustment period will be based on the percentage change between the base price index and the adjusting price index for the adjustment period, as applied to the base unit price for that period.

(1) The Government shall be entitled to a price decrease in any particular adjustment period if the adjusting price index is less than the base price index. There shall be _______ price adjustments per contract year.

(2) Example of adjustment calculation:

Base Price Index - 109.88*

Adjusting Price Index - 112.72*

Less Base Price Index - 109.88

Change to Index - 2.84

Divide Change to Index

By Base Price Index - 2.84 / 109.88 = .02585 (2.585%)**

Multiply by the

Base Unit Price – $50.00 x .02585 = $1.29*** = Unit Price Adjustment

* In computing the base and adjusting price indexes, the resulting figure shall be rounded to the second decimal place.

** This figure shall be rounded to the fifth decimal place.

*** All dollar figures shall be rounded to the nearest cent.

(d) UPWARD CEILING ON ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT. The Contractor agrees that the aggregate of the increases in any contract unit price under this clause shall not exceed ___% (percent) of the original base unit price, except as provided hereafter.

(i) If at any time the Contractor has reason to believe that within the near future a price adjustment under the provisions of this clause will be required that will exceed the adjustment ceiling for any item, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing of the expected increase. The notification shall include a revised ceiling the Contractor believes is sufficient to permit completion of remaining contract performance, along with appropriate explanation and documentation as required by the Contracting Officer.

(ii) If an actual increase in the price index would raise a contract unit price for an item above the current ceiling, the Contracting Officer may issue a contract modification to raise the ceiling. If the contract ceiling will not be raised, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.

(e) INVOICES. The prices payable under this contract will be based on the latest adjusted unit price incorporated into the contract as of the date of delivery.

(f) RETROACTIVE ADJUSTMENT. The contractor may request an equitable adjustment for deliveries made during an adjustment period for which payment has already been made, based on the difference between a higher final revised index applicable to an adjustment period and the index values used in calculating the unit price for that adjustment period, and subject to the adjustment ceiling in (d) above and the following conditions:

(1) The request for equitable adjustment clearly establishes that the unit price adjustment for the adjustment period would have been higher if the final revised index had been used, and identifies all invoices and payments to which it is applicable, cites the specific index differences relating to the requested adjustment, and provides a calculation of the total net price adjustment for items delivered during that adjustment period.

(2) No retroactive equitable adjustment shall be made under this clause unless the total change in the contract amount is $______ ($500.00 unless otherwise stated) or more for the applicable adjustment period. Total change in the contract amount is applied at the contract level.

(3) The contractor’s written request must be received by the Contracting Officer within 240 days following the contract delivery date(s) of the items for which the equitable adjustment is requested.

The Government shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment based on the difference between a lower final revised index applicable to an adjustment period and the index values used in calculating the unit price for that adjustment period, without limitation. An equitable adjustment under this provision in favor of either the contractor or the Government will not increase or decrease the unit prices of the items that are the subject of the equitable adjustment and will not provide a basis for an equitable adjustment in the amounts paid in adjustment periods subsequent to the adjustment period to which the equitable adjustment is applicable.

(g) FAILURE TO DELIVER. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this clause, no upward adjustment shall apply to product scheduled under the contract to be delivered before the effective date of the adjustment, unless the Contractor’s failure to deliver according to the delivery schedule results from causes beyond the Contractor’s control and without its fault or negligence, within the meaning of the Default clause of this contract.

(h) REVISION OF PRICE INDEX. In the event –

(i) Any applicable price index is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that the price index consistently and substantially fails to reflect market conditions,

the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute and the contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the price index was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions.

(i) FINAL INVOICE. The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice that the amounts invoiced hereunder have applied all decreases required by this clause.

(j) DISPUTES. Any dispute arising under this clause shall be determined in accordance with and subject to the “Disputes” clause of the contract.

If the contract ceiling will not be raised, the Contracting Officer shall so promptly notify the Contractor in writing.

(e) REVISION OF MARKET PRICE INDICATOR. In the event --

(i) A market price is discontinued or its method of derivation is altered substantially; or

(ii) The Contracting Officer determines that a market price consistently and substantially fails to reflect market conditions,

the parties shall mutually agree upon an appropriate and comparable substitute and the contract shall be modified to reflect such substitute effective on the date the price was discontinued, altered, or began to consistently and substantially fail to reflect market conditions.

(f) OPTIONS. If this contract contains a term (period) option provision which is exercised, the contract price(s) for each succeeding term shall be subject to adjustment pursuant to this EPA clause. The contract price(s) in effect on the last day of the term or period immediately preceding the period for which the option has been exercised will be the contract price(s) on the first day of the succeeding option period.

As prescribed in 16.203-4-90(j)(i) use the following clause.

52.216-9036 EVALUATION OF OFFERS - ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT (FEB 2009)

(a) Offers in response to solicitations will be evaluated without adding any amount for economic price adjustment unless the Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause included in the solicitation provides for offerors to specify the portion of the contract price subject to EPA. In this case, the offered price(s) subject to the EPA clause will be adjusted to the maximum possible extent under the EPA using the price ceiling limitation provision of such clause for the basic contract plus all options covered by the evaluation. The resulting price(s) will be used for evaluation of offers.

(b) If a successful offeror stipulates a lower maximum increase limitation then that included in the solicitation, it will be incorporated into the resulting contract.

(c) Offers which (1) increase the maximum ceiling percentage specified in the solicitation, (2) stipulate a maximum decrease limit, or (3) delete or otherwise alter the economic price adjustment clause, will not be considered for award, unless the Contracting Officer determines that award on such basis is in the best interests of the Government and all Offerors are afforded an opportunity to offer on the same basis.

52.216-9038 -- Price Redetermination – Prospective (DEVIATION).

As prescribed in 16.205-4, insert the following clause:

Price Redetermination -- Prospective (DEVIATION)(OCT 2008)

(a) General. The unit prices and the total price stated in this contract shall be periodically redetermined in accordance with this clause, except that --

(1) The prices for supplies ordered and services performed before the first effective date of price redetermination (see paragraph (c) of this clause) shall remain fixed; and

(2) In no event shall the total amount paid under this contract exceed any ceiling price included in the contract.

(b) Definition. “Costs,” as used in this clause, means allowable costs in accordance with Part 31 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in effect on the date of this contract.

(c) Price redetermination periods. For the purpose of price redetermination, performance of this contract is divided into successive periods. The first period shall extend from the date of the contract to ________, (see Note (1)) and the second and each succeeding period shall extend for ________ [insert appropriate number] months from the end of the last preceding period, except that the parties may agree to vary the length of the final period. The first day of the second and each succeeding period shall be the effective date of price redetermination for that period.

(d) Data submission.

(1) Not more than _______ nor less than ______ (see Note (2)) days before the end of each redetermination period, except the last, the Contractor shall submit --

(i) Proposed prices for supplies that may be ordered or services that may be performed in the next succeeding period, and --

(A) An estimate and breakdown of the costs of these supplies or services in the format of Table 15-2, FAR 15.408, or in any other form on which the parties may agree;

(B) Sufficient data to support the accuracy and reliability of this estimate; and

(C) An explanation of the differences between this estimate and the original (or last preceding) estimate for the same supplies or services; and

(ii) A statement of all costs incurred in performing this contract through the end of the ______ month (see Note (3)) before the submission of proposed prices in the format of Table 15-2, FAR 15.408 (or in any other form on which the parties may agree), with sufficient supporting data to disclose unit costs and cost trends for --

(A) Supplies ordered and services performed; and

(B) Inventories of work in process and undelivered contract supplies on hand (estimated to the extent necessary).

(2) The Contractor shall also submit, to the extent that it becomes available before negotiations on redetermined prices are concluded --

(i) Supplemental statements of costs incurred after the date stated in subdivision (d)(1)(ii) of this section for --

(A) Supplies ordered and services performed; and

(B) Inventories of work in process and undelivered contract supplies on hand (estimated to the extent necessary); and

(ii) Any other relevant data that the Contracting Officer may reasonably require.

(3) If the Contractor fails to submit the data required by subparagraphs (d)(1) and (2) of this section, within the time specified, the Contracting Officer may suspend payments under this contract until the data are furnished. If it is later determined that the Government has overpaid the Contractor, the Contractor shall repay the excess to the Government immediately. Unless repaid within 30 days after the end of the data submittal period, the amount of the excess shall bear interest, computed from the date the data were due to the date of repayment, at the rate established in accordance with the Interest clause.

(e) Price redetermination. Upon the Contracting Officer’s receipt of the data required by paragraph (d) of this section, the Contracting Officer and the Contractor shall promptly negotiate to redetermine fair and reasonable prices for supplies that may be ordered or services that may be performed in the period following the effective date of price redetermination.

(f) Contract modifications. Each negotiated redetermination of prices shall be evidenced by a modification to this contract, signed by the Contractor and the Contracting Officer, stating the redetermined prices that apply during the redetermination period.

(g) Adjusting billing prices. Pending execution of the contract modification (see paragraph (f) of this section), the Contractor shall submit invoices or vouchers in accordance with the billing prices stated in this contract. If at any time it appears that the then-current billing prices will be substantially greater than the estimated final prices, or if the Contractor submits data showing that the redetermined price will be substantially greater than the current billing prices, the parties shall negotiate an appropriate decrease or increase in billing prices. Any billing price adjustment shall be reflected in a contract modification and shall not affect the redetermination of prices under this clause. After the contract modification for price redetermination is executed, the total amount paid or to be paid on all invoices or vouchers shall be adjusted to reflect the agreed-upon prices, and any requested additional payments, refunds, or credits shall be made promptly.

(h) Quarterly limitation on payments statement. This paragraph (h) applies only during periods for which firm prices have not been established.

(1) Within 45 days after the end of the quarter of the Contractor’s fiscal year in which a delivery is first made (or services are first performed) and accepted by the Government under this contract, and for each quarter thereafter, the Contractor shall submit to the contract administration office (with a copy to the contracting office and the cognizant contract auditor) a statement, cumulative from the beginning of the contract, showing --

(i) The total contract price of all supplies or services ordered and accepted by the Government and for which final prices have been established;

(ii) The total costs (estimated to the extent necessary) reasonably incurred for, and properly allocable solely to, the supplies or services ordered and accepted by the Government and for which final prices have not been established;

(iii) The portion of the total interim profit (used in establishing the initial contract price or agreed to for the purpose of this paragraph (h)) that is in direct proportion to the supplies or services ordered and accepted by the Government and for which final prices have not been established; and

(iv) The total amount of all invoices or vouchers for supplies or services ordered and accepted by the Government (including amounts applied or to be applied to liquidate progress payments).

(2) The statement required by subparagraph (h)(1) of this section need not be submitted for any quarter for which either no costs are to be reported under subdivision (h)(1)(ii) of this section, or revised billing prices have been established in accordance with paragraph (g) of this section, and do not exceed the existing contract price, the Contractor’s price-redetermination proposal, or a price based on the most recent quarterly statement, whichever is least.

(3) Notwithstanding any provision of this contract authorizing greater payments, if on any quarterly statement the amount under subdivision (h)(1)(iv) of this section exceeds the sum due the Contractor, as computed in accordance with subdivisions (h)(1)(i), (ii), and (iii) of this section, the Contractor shall immediately refund or credit to the Government the amount of this excess. The Contractor may, when appropriate, reduce this refund or credit by the amount of any applicable tax credits due the Contractor under 26 U.S.C.1481 and by the amount of previous refunds or credits affected under this clause. If any portion of the excess has been applied to the liquidation of progress payments, then that portion may, instead of being refunded, be added to the unliquidated progress payment account, consistent with the Progress Payments clause. The Contractor shall provide complete details to support any claimed reductions in refunds.

(4) If the Contractor fails to submit the quarterly statement within 45 days after the end of each quarter and it is later determined that the Government has overpaid the Contractor, the Contractor shall repay the excess to the Government immediately. Unless repaid within 30 days after the end of the statement submittal period, the amount of the excess shall bear interest, computed from the date the quarterly statement was due to the date of repayment, at the rate established in accordance with the Interest clause.

(i) Subcontracts. No subcontract placed under this contract may provide for payment on a cost-plus-a-percentage-of-cost basis.

(j) Disagreements. If the Contractor and the Contracting Officer fail to agree upon redetermined prices for any price redetermination period within 60 days (or within such other period as the parties agree) after the date on which the data required by paragraph (d) of this section are to be submitted, the Contracting Officer shall promptly issue a decision in accordance with the Disputes clause. For the purpose of paragraphs (f), (g), and (h) of this section, and pending final settlement of the disagreement on appeal, by failure to appeal, or by agreement, this decision shall be treated as an executed contract modification. Pending final settlement, price redetermination for subsequent periods, if any, shall continue to be negotiated as provided in this clause.

(k) Termination. If this contract is terminated, prices shall continue to be established in accordance with this clause for

(1) completed supplies and services accepted by the Government and

(2) those supplies and services not terminated under a partial termination. All other elements of the termination shall be resolved in accordance with other applicable clauses of this contract.

(End of Clause)

Notes:

(1) Express in terms of units ordered, or as a date; but in either case the period should end on the last day of a month.

(2) Insert the numbers of days chosen so that the Contractor’s submission will be late enough to reflect recent cost experience (taking into account the Contractor’s accounting system), but early enough to permit review, audit (if necessary), and negotiation before the start of the prospective period.

(3) Insert “first,” except that “second” may be inserted if necessary to achieve compatibility with the Contractor’s accounting system.

52.216-9039 – Economic Price Adjustment – Standard Supplies (Jan 2009) Deviation

As prescribed in 16.203-4, insert the following

52.216-2 Economic Price Adjustment -- Standard Supplies (Jan 1997) (DEVIATION)

(a) The Contractor warrants that the unit price stated in the Schedule for _________ [offeror insert Schedule line item number] is not in excess of the Contractor’s applicable established price in effect on the contract date for like quantities of the same item. The term “unit price” excludes any part of the price directly resulting from requirements for preservation, packaging, or packing beyond standard commercial practice. The term “established price” means a price that --

(1) Is an established catalog or market price for a commercial item sold in substantial quantities to the general public; and

(2) Is the net price after applying any standard trade discounts offered by the Contractor.

(b) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of the amount and effective date of each decrease in any applicable established price. Each corresponding contract unit price shall be decreased by the same percentage that the established price is decreased. The decrease shall apply to those items ordered on and after the effective date of the decrease in the Contractor’s established price, and this contract shall be modified accordingly.

(c) If the Contractor’s applicable established price is increased after the contract date, the corresponding contract unit price shall be increased, upon the Contractor’s written request to the Contracting Officer, by the same percentage that the established price is increased, and the contract shall be modified accordingly, subject to the following limitations:

(1) The aggregate of the increases in any contract unit price under this clause shall not exceed 10 percent of the contract unit price [at the outset of each performance/ordering period].

(2) The increased contract unit price shall be effective --

(i) On the effective date of the increase in the applicable established price if the Contracting Officer receives the Contractor’s written request within 10 days thereafter; or

(ii) If the written request is received later, on the date the Contracting Officer receives the request.

(3) The increased contract unit price shall not apply to quantities [ordered] under the contract before the effective date of the increased contract unit price.

(4) No modification increasing a contract unit price shall be executed under this paragraph (c) until the Contracting Officer verifies the increase in the applicable established price.

(5) Within 30 days after receipt of the Contractor’s written request, the Contracting Officer may cancel, without liability to either party, any undelivered portion of the contract items affected by the requested increase.

(d) During the time allowed for the cancellation provided for in subparagraph (c)(5) of this clause, and thereafter if there is no cancellation, the Contractor shall continue deliveries according to the contract delivery schedule, and the Government shall pay for such deliveries at the contract unit price, increased to the extent provided by paragraph (c) of this clause.

> CONDITIONS FOR EVALUATION AND ACCEPTANCE OF OFFERS FOR PART NUMBERED ITEMS

> (Jan 2008) - DLAD

> (a) The product described in the acquisition identification description (AID) of this solicitation is that product which the Government has determined to be acceptable. All Offerors shall indicate below, or through an alternative means in an electronic quoting system, whether they are offering an “exact product,” an “alternate product” (which includes a “previously reverse-engineered product”), a “superceding part number,” or a “previously-approved product;” and shall furnish the data required for whichever is applicable. (To determine which type of product to indicate, Offerors must refer to the criteria in subparagraphs (b)-(e) of this provision, respectively.) Any product offered must be either a product cited in the AID; or be physically, mechanically, electrically, and functionally interchangeable with a product cited in the AID, including additional requirements referred to in the AID, if any.

> ○ Exact Product – Applies to CLIN(s): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

> ○ Alternate/Previously Reverse-Engineered Product – Applies to CLIN(s):

> ○ Superceding Part Number – Applies to CLIN(s): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

> ○ Previously-Approved Product – Applies to CLIN(s): . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

> (b) “Exact product.”

> (1) “Exact product” means a product described by the name of an approved source and its corresponding part number, as currently cited in the AID; modified (if necessary) to conform to any additional requirements set forth in the AID; and manufactured by, or under the direction of, that approved source. If an Offeror indicates that an “exact product” is being offered, the Offeror must meet one of the descriptions in subparagraphs (i)-(iv) below. (Any Offeror not meeting one of these descriptions is not considered to be offering “exact product;” even though the item may be manufactured in accordance with the drawings and/or specifications of an approved source currently cited in the AID.) For any Offeror other than the manufacturer cited in the AID, the Contracting Officer may request evidence to demonstrate technical acceptability of the supplies offered. Evidence requested will generally include information tracing the supplies back to the original equipment manufacturer or its authorized distributor. At a minimum, evidence must be sufficient to establish the identity of the product and its manufacturing source. The Contracting Officer determines the acceptability and sufficiency of documentation or other evidence, at his or her sole discretion. If an Offeror fails to provide the requested evidence/information or provides information that the Contracting Officer finds unacceptable, its offer may be rejected without further consideration under this solicitation.

> (i) An approved source currently cited in the AID offering its corresponding part number as cited in the AID;

> (ii) A dealer/distributor offering the product of an approved source that meets the description in subparagraph (i) above;

> (iii) A manufacturer who (A) produces the offered item under the direction of an approved source currently cited in the AID; and (B) has authorization from that approved source to manufacture the item, identify it as that approved source’s name and part number, and sell the item directly to the Government. If requested by the Contracting Officer, the Offeror must provide documentation to demonstrate such authorization, or other evidence of technical acceptability such as information that traces the supplies back to the original equipment manufacturer. Such evidence could be documentation obtained directly from the approved source or identification on a Web site maintained by the approved source confirming that the manufacturer is an acceptable source for the item identified by that approved source’s name and part number. If evidence cannot be obtained directly from the approved source, this does not necessarily preclude acceptance of the offer, if the Offeror provides adequate documentation or other evidence allowing the Contracting Officer to determine the approved source has oversight of and involvement in the manufacturing process.

> (iv) A dealer/distributor offering the product of a manufacturer that meets the description in subparagraph (iii) above. If requested by the Contracting Officer, the Offeror/Contractor must provide documentation that demonstrates such authorization or other evidence of technical acceptability such as information that traces the supplies back to the original equipment manufacturer or its authorized distributor. Such evidence could be documentation obtained directly from the approved source or identification on a Web site maintained by the approved source confirming that the item being offered is produced by a manufacturer that is an acceptable source for the item identified by that approved source’s name and part number. If evidence cannot be obtained directly from the approved source or manufacturing source, this does not necessarily preclude acceptance of the offer, if the contracting officer can adequately document that the approved source has oversight of and involvement in the manufacturing process by other means.

> (2) When the AID identifies the item being acquired as a critical safety item (CSI), offers of exact product will be evaluated in accordance with 52.211-9005.

> (c) “Alternate product.”

> (1) The Offeror must indicate that an “alternate product” is being offered if the Offeror is any one of the following:

> (i) An Offeror who (A) manufactures the item for an approved source currently cited in the AID; and (B) does not have authorization from that approved source to manufacture the item, identify it as the approved source part number, and sell the item directly to the Government;

> (ii) A dealer/distributor offering the product of a manufacturer that meets the description in subparagraph (i) above;

> (iii) An Offeror of a previously reverse-engineered product that is not currently cited in the AID; or

> (iv) Any other Offeror who does not meet the criteria in subparagraphs (b)(1), (d), or (e) of this provision.

> (2) If an alternate product is offered, the Offeror shall furnish with its offer legible copies of all drawings, specifications, or other data necessary to clearly describe the characteristics and features of the alternate product being offered. Data submitted shall cover design, materials, performance, function, interchangeability, inspection and/or testing criteria, and other characteristics of the offered product. If the offered product is to be manufactured in accordance with data the Offeror has obtained from elsewhere within the Government, the Offeror shall either furnish the detailed data specified in this paragraph, or supply a description of the data package in its possession; i.e., basic data document and revision, the date the data was obtained and from whom (Government agency/activity). If the Offeror does not furnish the detailed data with its offer, the Contracting Officer will be unable to begin evaluation of the offered product until such time as the detailed data can be obtained from the Government agency/activity possessing the data. If the alternate product is a previously reverse-engineered product, the Offeror shall provide: traceability documentation to establish that the offered item represents the item specified in the AID (i.e., invoice from an approved source or submission of samples having markings of an approved source); number of samples that were examined; the process/logic used; raw data (measurements, lab reports, test results) used to prepare drawings or specifications for the offered item; any additional evidence that indicates the reverse-engineered item will function properly in the end item; and any evidence that life cycle/reliability considerations have been analyzed.

> (3) In addition, the Offeror may be required to furnish data describing the “exact product” cited in the AID. The data required from the Offeror depends on the level of technical data describing the exact product, if any, available to the Government. The possible levels of technical data the Government may have and the corresponding data submission requirements for Offerors are identified in subparagraphs (a)-(d) below. For the item(s) being acquired under this solicitation, the level of data in the Government’s possession and the corresponding requirements for data submission are identified in the AID; or, if not specified in the AID, are as follows: [buyer insert (a), (b), (c), or (d), as applicable, if AID does not identify]. (If the level of data in the Government’s possession and Offeror requirements for data submission are not identified in either the AID or in this subparagraph (c)(3), then subparagraph (a) below applies.)

> (a) No data: This Agency has no data available for evaluating the acceptability of alternate products offered. In addition to the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, the Offeror must furnish drawings and other data covering the design, materials, etc., of the exact product cited in the AID, sufficient to establish that the Offeror's product is equal to the product cited in the AID.

> (b) Adequate proprietary (i.e., limited rights) data: This Agency possesses adequate drawings and/or specifications for the exact product as cited in the AID, but such data are proprietary (i.e., limited rights) and shall be used only for evaluation purposes. The Offeror must furnish the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, but is not required to submit data on the exact product.

> (c) Inadequate data: This Agency does not have adequate data available for evaluating the acceptability of alternate products offered. In addition to the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, the Offeror must furnish drawings and other data covering the design, materials, etc., of the exact product cited in the AID, sufficient to establish that the Offeror's product is equal to the product cited in the AID.

> (d) Adequate catalog data: This is a commercial off-the-shelf item. Adequate catalog data are available at the contracting office to evaluate alternate offers. In addition to the data required in subparagraph (c)(2) of this provision, the Offeror must furnish with its offer a commercially-acceptable cross reference list; or legible copies of all drawings, specifications or other data necessary to clearly describe the characteristics and features of the alternate product being offered, sufficient to establish that the Offeror’s product is equal to the product cited in the AID. The Offeror is not required to submit data on the exact product.

> (4) Except for indefinite delivery purchase orders (IDPOs), if this solicitation is automated (i.e., if the solicitation number begins with SPE; or begins with SP0 and contains “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the procurement instrument identification number (PIIN)), the Contracting Officer will not evaluate offers of alternate product (which includes offers of previously reverse-engineered product) for the current procurement. Instead, the Offeror shall submit a request to the location below for evaluation of the alternate product’s technical acceptability for future procurements of the same item. The request for evaluation shall cite the National Stock Number (NSN) of the exact product and, as identified in this provision, include the applicable level of technical data on the alternate and exact products. All offers of alternate product will be handled in accordance with DLAD 17.7501(b)(4).

> (i) For solicitation numbers beginning with SPE7 or SPE9; or beginning with SP0 and

> containing “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the PIIN:

> Defense Supply Center Columbus

> Directorate of Procurement

> Alternate Offer Monitor, DSCC-BPI

> PO Box 3990

> Columbus, OH 43218-3990

> Defense Supply Center Philadelphia

> ATTN: Richard A. Ryons, DSCP-NASA

> 700 Robbins Avenue

> Philadelphia, PA 19111-5096

> (d) “Superceding part number.”

> (1) The Offeror must indicate that a “superceding part number” is being offered if the offered item otherwise qualifies as an “exact product,” except that the part number cited in the AID has been superceded. The Offeror may be requested to furnish data, or provide confirmation through some other means, sufficient to establish that there are no changes in the configuration of the part. However, if such data are unavailable, the Offeror may be required to furnish technical data as required in paragraph (c) for “alternate products.” (If such data indicate there have been changes in the configuration of the part, the offered item must be identified as an “alternate product.”)

> (2) For solicitation numbers beginning with SPE, any data to be furnished with an offer of a “superceding part number” should be mailed to the buyer at the procuring activity address on the solicitation. (Uploading the information with the quotation, or including it in the “Remarks” section, will make the offer a “bid with exception,” causing it not to be evaluated.)

> (e) “Previously-approved product.”

> (1) If the product offered has previously been furnished to the Government or otherwise previously evaluated and approved, the Offeror shall indicate in the space provided below, or through an alternative means in an electronic quoting system, the contract and/or solicitation number under which the product was furnished or approved.

> CLIN NR (s)_______________________have been previously furnished or evaluated and approved under contract/solicitation number ____________________________.

> (2) If the product was furnished or evaluated and approved by a contracting activity different from the one issuing this solicitation, Offerors are advised that the Contracting Officer may not have access to records of another activity or other information sufficient to reasonably determine the offered product’s acceptability. Therefore, in order to ensure that adequate data is available for evaluation, Offerors may elect to furnish with their offer the information requested by subparagraph (b) or (c) of this provision, whichever is applicable for the offered product. Offerors are advised that if the additional data is not furnished, the Government may not be able to evaluate the offer. (For solicitation numbers beginning with SPE, the information should be mailed to the buyer at the procuring activity address on the solicitation. Uploading the information with the quotation, or including it in the “Remarks” section, will make the offer a “bid with exception,” causing it not to be evaluated.)

> (f) For all types of offers (“exact product,” “alternate product,” “superceding part number,” or “previously-approved product”), Offerors shall provide the Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) Code of the manufacturer and the part number being offered for each item in the solicitation.

> (g) Failure to furnish adequate data and/or information as prescribed in subparagraph (b), (c), (d) or (e) of this provision (when required for the current procurement) within 10 business days or less, or as otherwise required by the Contracting Officer or elsewhere in this solicitation, may preclude consideration of the offer. For automated procurements, it is the responsibility of the Offeror when offering a “superceding part number” or a “previously-approved part number” to ensure that supporting documentation arrives at the contracting activity within 2 business days after the data is requested, or the offer may not be considered. The Agency will make every effort to determine, prior to award, the acceptability of the products offered which meet the dollar savings threshold shown below, and/or which have a reasonable chance to receive an award. Generally, the Agency will not evaluate alternate offers not meeting the dollar threshold. The savings potential is based on the cost of evaluation ($200.00 if only a local technical evaluation is involved, plus an additional $1,500.00 for each required Engineering Support Activity evaluation). If the time before proposed award does not permit evaluation and delay of award would adversely affect the Government, alternate offers will not be considered for the current procurement. Instead, they will be evaluated for technical acceptability for future procurements of the same item, if adequate data is submitted, as stipulated above. When an alternate offer will not be considered for the current procurement, the Contracting Officer may request that the Offeror, at its discretion, provide a sample product for testing and evaluation in addition to the data required in this provision. Although not mandatory, Offerors are encouraged to provide the sample. This may facilitate the post-award evaluation and, if the alternate product is approved, increase the likelihood of its being added to the acquisition identification description in time for the next acquisition of the item.. The Offeror shall not submit a sample product until requested to do so. The testing of the sample product will be done at a testing facility; therefore, the shipping instructions will be provided with the request Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, may be damaged or destroyed during testing, and consequently may not be returned to the offeror; samples that are not damaged or destroyed will be returned only at the Offeror’s request and expense. For alternate offers not evaluated, the Offeror’s complete technical data package will be returned.

> (h) If Offerors desire to restrict the Government's use of data submitted for evaluation, the data must bear the appropriate legends as prescribed by FAR 52.215-1(e).

> (i) It is the Government that determines if the documentation or other evidence furnished by an Offeror is adequate to satisfy the requirements in this provision. The Contracting Officer may at any time, pre-award or post-award, request evidence of the technical acceptability of the supplies offered in response to this solicitation. At a minimum, evidence must be sufficient to establish the identity of the product and its manufacturing source.

> (g) Any initial price adjustment (downward only) is subject to further adjustment (upward or downward) pursuant to paragraph (f) in the event of changes in the total weighted average price actually paid by the Contractor for the quantity of the item required in the performance of this contract, except that in no event shall a weighted average item unit cost exceeding that cited in paragraph (a) be utilized in adjustments pursuant to this clause.

> (h) Promptly upon contract completion, the Contractor shall furnish the Contracting Officer a copy of vendor invoices covering the total amount of the item utilized in the performance of this contract, any contract price recalculation required by this clause, and any other data required by the Contracting Officer to verify the final weighted average actual item cost under this contract.

> (i) Should the Contractor fail to submit any information required by this clause or if there is no agreement on any adjustment hereunder, the Contracting Officer may make a unilateral determination and modify the contract accordingly. Failure to agree with such change in the contract price shall be resolved in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract.

> (j) The Contractor shall include a statement on the final invoice that all price reductions required by this clause are reflected in the cumulative amount invoiced under this contract.

> (End of Clause)

> Note 1: The clause as shown is designed to ultimately allow for a downward only adjustment, normally from the Contractor's proposed cost. As such, the word "DECREASE" would be in the clause title. In the event no restriction is to be placed on the direction of the ultimate adjustment, the following changes are required to the clause:

> (1) Title--insert "ADJUSTMENT" vice "DECREASE"

52.217-9006 Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Requirements (Mar 2008)

As prescribed in 17.9306, the contracting officer (CO) shall insert the following provisions/clauses in solicitations/contracts when S&S items are identified. The CO in coordination with the supply chain’s industrial support shall obtain the approval of J-74 prior to authorizing any exceptions to these provisions/clauses. Any exceptions and/or alteration to the clauses must be submitted in writing for HQ DLA J-74 approval.

Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Requirements (Mar 2008) - DLAD

This solicitation includes items that are critical to support Department of Defense’s ability to conduct contingency operations. These items are designated as surge and sustainment items. The S&S delivery requirements are identified in the schedule of supplies and are in addition to normal peacetime contract deliveries. The objective of the S&S in this solicitation is to obtain contractual coverage to meet the S&S requirements for a Monthly Wartime Rate (MWR) or other delivery terms of the identified items in the schedule. S&S coverage includes access to production capability as well as vendor owned or managed inventory/safety stocks. Offerors are required to meet the terms and conditions of S&S requirements. Offerors are evaluated on their ability to meet the terms and conditions of the S&S requirement. The following information defines the requirements of the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) S&S requirements:

(a) Surge and Sustainment Capability means the ability of the supplier to meet the increased quantity and or accelerated delivery requirements, using production and or supplier base capabilities, in support of DoD contingencies and/or emergency peacetime requirements. This capability includes both the ability to ramp up to meet early delivery or increased requirements (i.e., Surge), as well as to sustain an increased production and delivery pace throughout the contingency (i.e., Sustainment). The spectrum of possible contingencies ranges from major theater wars to smaller-scale military operations.

(b) S&S Quantity and Required Delivery Schedule are identified on an individual item basis, based on the Services’ wartime planning requirements. The S&S Monthly Wartime Rate (MWR) is represented as a percentage or an exact number; however some items may require different delivery requirements. The S&S quantity and delivery requirements are above and beyond the production requirements in the schedule of supplies.

(c) S&S Capability Assessment Plan (CAP), (previously referred to as the “Surge Plan”). The CAP provides the offeror’s method of covering the S&S quantity and delivery requirements, identification of competing priorities for the same resources, and date the contractor can provide the required S&S capability. If any of the S&S quantity and delivery requirements cannot be met, the offeror must identify the shortfall and provide the best value solutions to include a proposed investment strategy to offset the shortfall. For example, the CAP may include, but is not limited to, one of the following scenarios to address wartime delivery requirements:

(1) The S&S quantity and delivery requirements can be fully covered within the supplier’s resources.

(2) The S&S delivery schedule can be fully covered with early deliveries due to unit pack shipping (e.g., S&S quantity and delivery requirements is for 10 feet of wire every 30 days, and the wire is sold to the government in 100 ft rolls. A single delivery of one roll in the first 30 days would meet the requirement for ten 30-day delivery periods).

(3) The total S&S quantity and delivery requirements can be met but at a different delivery rate, and the supplier has no cost-effective investment strategy that would improve the capability to deliver according to the quantity and delivery requirements (e.g., the schedule calls for 20 o-ring seals each 30-day period, but the vendor needs a 30 day ramp up and could deliver 40 in the second period and 20 each delivery period thereafter).

(4) The total S&S quantity and delivery requirements can be met but at a different delivery rate, and includes an investment strategy that would improve the supplier’s capability to deliver according to the MWR (e.g., the schedule calls for 20 seals each 30-day period, and the vendor can meet the schedule starting in the third ordering period but needs a government investment to be capable of meeting deliveries in the first two months).

(5) The S&S quantity and delivery requirements can be partially covered (the supplier can only provide a fraction of the total quantities specified); however, the supplier has no cost-effective investment strategy that would improve the capability to deliver at the MWR.

(6) The S&S quantity and delivery requirements can be partially covered (the supplier can only provide a portion of the MWR quantities specified), and includes an investment strategy that would improve the supplier’s capability to deliver at the MWR.

(7)The S&S quantity and delivery requirements cannot be met with existing resources, and there is no cost effective solution to improve the industrial capability to deliver at the MWR.

The CAP must include a stock rotation plan for government or supplier S&S investments (e.g., lead-time materials that were purchased using Warstopper funding) to ensure the newest materials are available for production. The stock rotation plan must not preclude the supplier from making the surge deliveries.

The CAP must include a recommended exit strategy on how to transition S&S assets and/or government investment (ramp down) in the event of contract expiration, termination, or award of follow-on contract to another supplier.

Guidance on where to find detailed instructions and points of contact on how to complete the CAP are found in Clause 52.217-9007

(d) Government Investments. Use of government investment may be considered to address S&S coverage shortfalls as specified in (c)(3) to (7) above. Use of government investment is limited per clause 52.217-9010. Contracting Officer (CO) approval is required prior to any government investment and any investment costs incurred by the supplier without the explicit written approval of the CO are the sole responsibility of the supplier.

(e) S&S Validation/Test Plan. In most cases, the Government will develop a validation/test plan prior to verifying the supplier’s capability against the required S&S CAP and the Schedule. Upon request, the supplier shall submit an S&S Validation/Test Plan that defines how the S&S capability can be verified when (1) complex industrial/manufacturing processes are involved, or (2) the supplier methodologies for gaining visibility over supplier base capabilities within an existing structure enable a more cost effective alternative. In any case, a Validation/Test Plan will be developed prior to any validation/testing of the supplier’s S&S capability.

(f) Agreement to Participate in S&S Validation/Testing. By submission of an offer, the supplier agrees to participate in S&S validation/testing as required by the Government to validate the stated S&S capability. Testing/Validation may include any methodology that can validate the supplier’s S&S capability. Validations will be conducted on randomly selected items by the Industrial Specialist and occur through final contract delivery. Validations include, but are not limited to, verification that the supplier and any subcontractor(s) have sufficient equipment, facilities, personnel, stock, pre-positioned raw material, production capabilities, visibility of supplier base resources, and agreements, networks and plans for distribution (receiving, storing, packaging and issuing) and transportation services to accommodate the S&S requirements in the contract. This validation includes examination of any in-house work, review of the stock rotation plan (if applicable), and other contracts that impact the production of any added or accelerated quantities. The Government reserves the right to require validation using other methodologies when deemed appropriate. The language in this clause does not limit the government's right, at any time after award, to perform inspections or validate the supplier's S&S capability.

(g) Supplier Notification of S&S Capability Changes. The supplier agrees to maintain S&S capability to produce and/or deliver the S&S quantity of supplies identified in the Schedule of Supplies in accordance with the S&S required delivery schedule throughout the life of the contract. Changes that negatively impact S&S capability must be reported in writing to the CO within ten (10) working days after the supplier becomes aware of such an impact. Such notification must include a revised S&S CAP with the supplier’s proposed corrective action(s) and date when the supplier can attain the required S&S capability. Refer to 52.217-9007(a) for instructions on submitting changes to the CAP.

(h) Government Changes, Additions and Deletions to S&S Requirements. The identification of new S&S items in the peacetime schedule or increases in quantities of items already in the S&S schedule must be done through bilateral contract modifications. Deletion of S&S requirements or decreases in quantities will be made by the Government through unilateral contract modifications. The government reserves the right to obtain S&S requirements from other sources without liability to the supplier. This language does not relieve the supplier of the responsibility to provide, in accordance with the applicable delivery schedule, non-S&S and S&S quantities agreed to in the Schedule and CAP during the contingency.

(i) Early or Unexpected S&S Requirements. The supplier agrees to support S&S requirements to the maximum extent practical (1) prior to the supplier achieving full S&S capability agreed to in the Schedule and the CAP, or (2) for requirements exceeding those agreed upon in the Schedule and the CAP. The government reserves the right to obtain S&S requirements from other sources without liability to the supplier. This language does not relieve the contractor of the responsibility to provide, in accordance with the applicable delivery schedule, non-S&S quantities and the S&S quantities agreed to in the Schedule and CAP during the contingency.

(j) S&S Execution. The Government will issue a delivery order or series of orders equaling the MWR for each month, when executing the S&S requirement. S&S orders do not count towards the non-S&S contract maximum. The order limitations clause applicable to non-S&S requirements does not apply to the S&S quantity if it conflicts with the quantity necessary to support a contingency. The Government reserves the right to order less than the MWR quantity specified for each S&S delivery. Multiple orders for the same NSN will be issued to support multiple contingencies provided the total quantity ordered does not exceed the MWR for each ordering period. The Government reserves the right to order in excess of the MWR provided the supplier accepts the order.

When a delivery order for S&S is issued and Government funds were used to establish the S&S capability, the supplier must use funds generated from the order to refresh or replace S&S material (e.g., inventories of lead-time materials, partially finished units, or finished product) consumed within ninety days to support future S&S requirements.

When a delivery order for S&S is issued and no Government funds were used to establish the S&S capability, the supplier must replace S&S material (e.g., inventories of lead-time materials, partially finished units, or finished product) consumed within ninety days to support future S&S requirements.

(k) Contract Expiration or Termination. The offeror’s capability plan must include an exit strategy. The exit strategy must include a description on how to transition the S&S assets and/or government investment as a result of contract expiration, termination, or award of a follow-on contract to another supplier. The exit strategy must be designed to conserve protected S&S resources when (1) the contract expires, (2) a follow-on contract transitions to another supplier and or (3) the requirement is reduced or eliminated by the requiring customer(s). The exit strategy must consider peacetime demand patterns, production run levels, normal lead-times for raw materials used in the production process, and other relevant factors, and address least cost/best-value alternatives that minimize the risk of unused raw materials or the untimely disposition of other serviceable S&S assets before the contract expires.

(End of Clause)

52.217-9007 Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Instructions to Offerors (Mar 2008)

As prescribed in 17.9306, the contracting officer (CO) shall insert the following provisions/clauses in solicitations/contracts when S&S items are identified. The CO in coordination with the supply chain’s industrial support shall obtain the approval of J-74 prior to authorizing any exceptions to these provisions/clauses.

52.217-9008 Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Evaluation (Mar 2008)

As prescribed in 17.9306, the contracting officer (CO) shall insert the following provisions/clauses in solicitations/contracts when S&S items are identified. The CO in coordination with the supply chain’s industrial support shall obtain the approval of J-74 prior to authorizing any exceptions to these provisions/clauses. Any exceptions and/or alteration to the clauses must be submitted in writing for HQ DLA J-74 approval.

Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Evaluation (Mar 2008) - DLAD

Surge and Sustainment capability is a requirement of this solicitation. The S&S evaluation will be based on the Capability Assessment Plan (CAP), test/validation plan (when required), S&S costs, and past S&S performance. The offeror’s proposal may be deemed nonresponsive for failure to submit the required S&S information in accordance with the solicitation. The government reserves the right to require additional information if necessary. The S&S will be evaluated as follows:

(a) CAP/Approach.

The offeror’s CAP will be reviewed and assessed for responsiveness, completeness, technical merit and S&S past performance. The CAP must demonstrate the ability to provide the full S&S quantity and delivery requirements as specified in the Schedule, the technical merits of the proposed solutions to any identified shortfalls in S&S quantity, and delivery requirements and the ability to achieve these without government investment.

(b) Validation/Test Plan (if required).

The offeror’s Validation/Test Plan (pre- or post-award) will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the plan accurately measures the stated capability in the offeror’s CAP. If supplier requests for government investment to conduct the test, the CO will determine and approve which phase(s) of the S&S capability testing will be funded (test plan development, testing and /or test plan report).

(c) Cost/Price.

The offeror’s proposed S&S cost/price will be evaluated for reasonableness and realism in accordance with FAR 15.403-3 but will not be included in the overall comparative price evaluation. The government reserves the right to request for additional information other than cost or price.

(d) Past S&S Performance.

Previous S&S performance will be considered in the evaluation. In the absence of or in addition to DLA S&S past performance, the CO may consider other relevant performance history where the offeror demonstrated the ability to quickly respond to and sustain higher than normal production rates or faster than normal delivery requirements, or both.

(End of Clause)

52.217-9009 Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Pricing (Mar 2008)

As prescribed in 17.9306, the contracting officer (CO) shall insert the following provisions/clauses in solicitations/contracts when S&S items are identified. The CO in coordination with the supply chain’s industrial support shall obtain the approval of J-74 prior to authorizing any exceptions to these provisions/clauses. Any exceptions and/or alteration to the clauses must be submitted in writing for HQ DLA J-74 approval.

Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Pricing (Mar 2008) - DLAD

(a) When pricing S&S items, the offeror will use a six-month period for the purpose of providing the offered prices for surge and sustainment items. However, the concept of S&S requires the offeror to surge to a delivery rate and sustain that rate throughout contingency operations that may last longer than six months or when the S&S item has a lead-time greater than six months.

(b) The offeror’s proposed S&S prices will be evaluated for reasonableness and realism in accordance with FAR 15.403-3. If proposed prices for the surge items are higher than the production quantities, information other than cost or price data must be provided if Truth in Negotiations Act (TINA) does not apply. Otherwise, the offeror shall provide certified cost or price data if TINA applies. Information supporting the offered surge prices must include a description of the causes of the price differences. The information shall be provided as a separate attachment to the proposal. Information may be submitted in the offeror’s own format unless the contracting officer decides that use of a specific format is essential and the format has been described in the solicitation.

(c) When S&S pricing exceeds peacetime pricing, the offeror must provide S&S pricing proposal that contains the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The offeror’s proposal must identify the additional costs, if any, for expedited S&S quantity and delivery requirements that are above the costs associated with peacetime buys, such as the cost of reserving the production capacity and maintaining extra inventory, raw materials, or components to meet the S&S requirements.

52.217-9010 Limitations on Use of Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Government Investment (Mar 2008) - DLAD

As prescribed in 17.9306, the contracting officer (CO) shall insert the following provisions/clauses in solicitations/contracts when S&S items are identified. The CO in coordination with the supply chain’s industrial support shall obtain the approval of J-74 prior to authorizing any exceptions to these provisions/clauses. Any exceptions and/or alteration to the clauses must be submitted in writing for HQ DLA J-74 approval.

Limitations on Use of Surge and Sustainment (S&S) Government Investment (Mar 2008) – DLAD

(a) The CAP must include the offeror’s investment strategy in accordance with 52.217-9006. In the event the S&S quantity and delivery requirement cannot be met with the supplier’s resources and there is no cost effective solution to improve the industrial base capability, limited government investment may be considered if it is in the best interest of the Government. The supplier shall not incur any expenses to be paid or reimbursed by a government investment until after receiving written approval from the contracting officer, and acts at its own risk in advance of such approval. Any government investment will only be used for obtaining S&S coverage in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. In the event of changes in conditions (e.g. manufacturing, labor market, industry, technology, etc.) that warrant a different investment approach to obtaining the S&S coverage, the supplier will submit a new capability assessment plan describing the revised strategy for Contracting Officer’s approval. If the initial investment has not been made or completed, the supplier will suspend S&S investment until receipt of written approval from the Contracting Officer.

(b) The contractor shall not use government S&S investments for any purpose other than to support S&S delivery orders, unless such use has been authorized by the Contracting Officer in writing. Contractor shall submit in writing to the contracting officer any desired use of the S&S investments and consideration offered to the government for this use.

(c) The supplier’s stock rotation plan for government S&S investments (e.g., lead-time materials) to ensure the newest materials are available for production is an authorized use of S&S investments because it is considered to be in support of S&S delivery orders. A stock rotation plan must be included as part of the supplier’s CAP and shall not preclude the supplier from making the surge deliveries.

(End of clause)

As prescribed in 17.9508(a), insert the provision/clause in solicitations / contracts.

Tailored Logistics Support Purchasing Reviews DLAD 52.217-9017 (JUN 2006)- DLAD

1. From the commencement of performance of this contract until 3 years after the final contract payment, the Contractor shall allow the Contracting Officer, Administrative Contracting Officer, Defense Contract Management Agency, Defense Contract Audit Agency, and any other duly authorized representative of the Contracting Officer access to all records and information pertaining to those items or services for which the Government is relying on the Contractor’s purchasing system to determine that competition was obtained or to justify that prices are fair and reasonable. The Contractor shall maintain records subject to this clause for not less than 3 years after the contract final payment.

2. The Contracting Officer may conduct reviews of purchased items or services provided under this contract regardless of dollar value that meet the criteria in paragraph 1 of this clause to ascertain whether the Contractor has obtained the best value. The Contractor shall seek competition to the maximum extent practicable for all purchases. Contractor purchases of any supplies or services shall solicit a competitive quotation from at least two independently-competing firms. For other than sole source items, the request for quotations shall, to the extent practical, solicit offers from different manufacturers or producers. If the Contractor is unable to obtain quotes for competing items from two or more such independently-competing firms, the Contractor shall retain supporting documentation for its rationale for selection of the suppliers solicited and chosen to supply the items, and for its determination that the price was fair and reasonable. The Contractor is responsible for maintaining this same documentation for all sole source/non-competitive actions. The following price reasonableness and documentation requirements are applicable to all purchases, regardless of dollar value:

a. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business. The Contracting Officer will examine the prices with particular care in connection with buys that may not be subject to effective competition restraints. The Contractor’s price will not be presumed to be reasonable. If an initial review of the facts results in a challenge of a specific price by the Contracting Officer or the Contracting Officer’s representative, the burden of proof shall be upon the Contractor to establish that the price is reasonable under the standards in FAR Subpart 15.4 and FAR 31.201-3.

b. The Contractor shall keep the documentation to a minimum, but shall retain data supporting the purchases either by paper or electronically. At a minimum, price quotations and invoices shall be retained. Should the Contractor receive an oral price quotation, the Contractor shall document who the supplier or subcontractor is by complete name, address, telephone number, price, terms and other conditions quoted by each vendor. Price quotes for supplies shall be broken down by individual items, shipping costs, and any other included expenses. Price quotes for incidental services which are not pre-priced in the contract shall include labor hours and costs or prices, as applicable, including the total price of the job, individual pricing for the portions of the work if applicable, materials, and all other elements of cost, overhead, and profit. This price breakdown documentation shall be made for each subcontractor performing work on this contract.

3. When the Contractor is purchasing from subcontractors or other sources and receives a discount or rebates, the Contractor shall immediately pass these savings to the Government in the contract price and invoice for payment. The Contractor is required to use diligence in the selection of the most economical method of delivery of the product or services by selecting a best value method of delivery based on the urgency and nature of the work or product required. When labor hours are involved in the work to be accomplished and the Contractor has not already pre-priced the effort to use its own labor force, the Contractor shall provide the labor at rates required by the contract (for example, Service Contract Act or Davis-Bacon Act rates) or at rates based on competition if mandatory rates are not required by the contract.

4. If the Contracting Officer determines that the purchased product or service is unreasonably priced, the Contractor shall refund to the Government the amount the Contracting Officer determines is in excess of a reasonable price. The Contracting Officer shall notify the Contractor in writing in accordance with FAR 32.610, giving the basis for the determination and the amount to be refunded. The Contractor shall make the refund payment in accordance with directions from the Contracting Officer, and shall provide proof of the refund payment to the Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer may collect the amount due using all available means in accordance with FAR Subpart 32.6. FAR 52.232-17, Interest, is applicable to payments not made within 30 days of the demand for payment. Any disputes arising under this provision shall be handled in accordance with the “Disputes” clause of this contract.

5. At the midpoint of each performance period if the period is a year or less long or annually if the performance period is more than a year, upon receipt of notification from the Contracting Officer of the intent to exercise an option, or if otherwise requested, the Contractor shall provide the Contracting Officer an affirmation in the following form, signed by an authorized representative of the Contractor:

“To the best of my knowledge and belief, during the period beginning ____________ (insert date) and ending_______________(insert date), _______________(insert Contractor’s name) furnished all supplies or services called for by Contract No. _____________ in accordance with all applicable requirements. I further affirm that the supplies or services are of the quality specified and conform in all respects with the contract requirements, including specifications, drawings, preservation, packaging, packing, marking requirements, and item identification, and are in the quantity required. The items and services were competed or prices are justified as fair and reasonable in accordance with the requirements of ______________(name/number of the clause).”

52.217-9020 Corporate Contract Fill Rate and Unfilled Orders

As prescribed in 17.9700(a) insert the following clause:

CORPORATE CONTRACT FILL RATE AND UNFILLED ORDERS (AUG 2008) – DLAD

(a) Definitions. As used in this Clause:

(1) "Fill rate" means the percentage of the total quantity of the items ordered which are shipped within ____ days of receipt of order. For example, if ten orders of ten each are received and eight shipments of 10 each and one shipment of five each are made in response to nine of the orders, a fill rate of 85% has been obtained. The fill rate achieved during each semiannual period will be used to set the authorized markup for the following period.

(2) "Receipt of the order" means the date on which the electronic transmission of the requisition/delivery order is made from the Supply Chain to the contractor. Requisitions will be issued for DLA owned stock. Delivery orders will be issued for new material.

(3) "Shipment" means the date on which the item is delivered by the contractor to the designated carrier.

(b) The contractor agrees to provide a fill rate of ____% for the items included on this contract. If the agreed upon fill rate of ____% is achieved the markup to the contract price which the contractor is authorized to charge is %. If a fill rate lower than ____% but greater than or equal to ____ is realized, the authorized markup is reduced to ____%. If a fill rate less than ____ but greater than or equal to ____ is realized, the authorized markup is reduced to ____%.A fill rate of less than ____% is determined to be an unacceptable level of performance. If the calculated fill rate is less than ____% for two successive contract periods, the Government may terminate the contract for default; however, if the contract is not terminated, the authorized markup for a fill rate less than ____% is reduced to ____%.

(c) Items for which orders are received in the first 6 month period that cannot be filled for any of the following reasons will not be used in the Fill Rate calculation:

(1) If no Government stock is transferred and the lead time to obtain stock is greater than the time between the inclusion of the item on the contract (i.e. contract award or contract modification) and the time in which the item would normally be included in the fill rate calculation for the next contract period, then the item will not be used in the Fill Rate calculation.

(2) If the Government Due In is not received by the contractor, then the item will not be used in the Fill Rate calculation.

(3) If the Contractor receives order(s) for quantities greater than the Government-provided annual demand estimate, then the item will not be used in the Fill Rate calculation.

(d) The fill rate will be calculated semiannually on a cumulative basis for all orders received in the semiannual contract period. In order to avoid administrative difficulties, the period of time used to calculate the fill rate and the period of time to which a particular authorized markup applies will not coincide. The contractor will calculate the fill rate for the preceding six months when the tenth month of the contract is completed. The calculated fill rate and the date on which this calculation is based will be provided to DPRO and the supply chain within 30 days after completion of the tenth month and after the completion of each subsequent six month period for confirmation and concurrence of fill rate.

(e) The percentage of on time shipments will be calculated on a semiannual basis. For purposes of this clause only, dates will be calculated starting with the first complete day after receipt of the order. For example, if the order is received at 4:00 p.m. on Monday, shipment at any time during Tuesday will be counted as shipping on the first day. For purposes of this clause only, months will be calculated starting with the first complete calendar month after the beginning of the contract. For example, if the contract is issued on Aug 12, 2007, the first month is September, 2007. Complete records of the fill rate will be maintained by the contractor and made available for Government inspection.

(f) The Government will prepare a modification to the contract adjusting the authorized markup as needed effective the beginning of the thirteenth month of the contract (or other definitive period). The subsequent periods for fill rate calculation and authorized markup adjustment will be every semiannual period. The authorized markup for the initial twelve month contract period is ____%.

(g) A backorder is defined as a requirement for an item which cannot be filled within ___ days of receipt of order. The contractor agrees to ship ___% of all backordered items within 90 days of receipt of the order. Receipt of the order is defined as the date on which the electronic transmission of the requirement is made from the Supply Chain to the contractor. Shipment is defined as the date on which the item is delivered by the contractor to the designated carrier. The percentage of backorders filled on time will be calculated on a semiannual basis concurrent with the fill rate calculations.

As prescribed in 17.7302(90) insert the following clause:

5

SPECIAL PROVISIONS FOR BULK MILK DISPENSING EQUIPMENT

(JUN 2008 SUBSTINENCE) – DLAD

(a) General. Regulations require that the cost to the Government for bulk milk dispensing equipment must be identified and paid for from a different fund than the milk itself. Accordingly, unit and extended prices on each offered item requiring the furnishing of bulk milk dispensing equipment will be broken down and will state separately (1) the charge for the milk itself, and (2) the charge for the bulk milk dispensing equipment called for by that item. The dispensing equipment charge will include the cost of furnishing, installing, servicing, maintaining and removing such equipment. Evaluation of offers will be based on the total charge for each such item. By submission of this offer, the offeror confirms that the separate charges entered for such items represent the true and accurate charges for the milk and bulk milk dispensing equipment, and that the price offered for milk does not include any cost on account of bulk milk dispensing equipment. Dispensing equipment charge will be the per-gallon rate for equipment and services.

(b) Invoices. Invoices covering items requiring the furnishing of bulk milk dispensing equipment must show separately for each such item the charge for the milk product furnished and the applicable charge for the bulk milk dispensing equipment.

(c) Computations. (Applicable only in contracts which contemplate the use of both government-furnished and contractor-furnished dispensers.)

(1) Basic. To the extent both government-furnished and contractor-furnished equipment is to be used in the dispensing of bulk milk required under this contract, the following dispenser charge procedures shall apply. In each case, the Government shall give written notice to the contractor stating which of the consumption points will employ contractor-furnished dispensers exclusively. Such points shall be called “Contractor Dispenser Points”.

(2) Central Deliveries. Where bulk milk is delivered to a central delivery point for redistribution by the Government both to Contractor Dispenser Points and to other consumption points, data shall be furnished by such central delivery point to the contractor stating the gallonage issued during the invoice period to Contractor-Dispenser Points. Such data shall be the basis of invoicing dispenser charges.

(3) Direct Deliveries. Where bulk milk is delivered to Contractor Dispenser Points directly by contractor, delivery receipt data applicable to such points shall be the basis of such invoicing.

(4) Mixed-Equipment Points. Where bulk milk is delivered either directly or through a central delivery point to any consumption point where any or all of the dispensers are furnished by the Government, no dispenser charges shall be applicable to, such milk, except as provided below. Contractor shall not be required to furnish dispensers at any consumption point where any Government dispensers are located, except as provided below.

(5) Urgency Exception. Where urgent requirements, as determined by the ordering officer, necessitate the use of both government and contractor-furnished dispensers at the same consumption point, the minimum number of contractor-furnished dispensers shall be ordered in writing only and supplied to such point. In such case, dispenser charges (per line item) shall apply to that proportion of the bulk milk delivered to such point which corresponds to the proportion of contractor-furnished dispenser spigots to the total number of spigots at such point. (For example: If half the number of spigots used in dispensing chocolate milk at that point are contractor-furnished, half of the chocolate milk gallonage there shall be subject to the dispenser charge.)

52.219-9002 DLA Mentoring Business Agreements (MBA) Program.

As prescribed in 19.9007, insert a provision substantially as follows:

DLA MENTORING BUSINESS AGREEMENTS (MBA) PROGRAM (DEC 1997) DLAD

(a) The offeror is invited to participate in a program whereby small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses are afforded the opportunity (through the offeror's provision of developmental assistance in its capacity as prime contractor) to participate in the DLA procurement process. (The offeror may alternatively propose to mentor a Javits-Wagner-O'Day (“ABILITYONE”) Act-qualified nonprofit agency.) In order to participate, the offeror shall submit a proposal outlining the assistance already rendered or to be provided to the protege, as well as the kinds of value-added activity the offeror might expect to receive, in return, from the mentored entity. The offeror-mentor may propose to provide the benefit of its managerial expertise, technical capabilities, market knowledge, etc.; the protege will be expected to provide a specialized service or product, or, potentially, admission into its own market. Participation is entirely voluntary.

(b) The Government will evaluate the offeror's proposal for participation in the DLA MBA Program on a comparative basis among all offerors, rather than via establishment of an "acceptable" standard. The factor is an independent element in the overall award decision; the offeror who proposes or demonstrates the most comprehensive plan for tutoring a protege will receive the highest rating for this evaluation factor during the source selection process. The evaluation will assess the offeror's willingness to assist such entities in receiving better market shares, improving their processes, and generally contributing to their viability under long-term contracting arrangements.

(c) The proposal submitted by the successful offeror will be incorporated into its contract with DLA. The successful offeror will be expected to incorporate the salient points of the evaluated proposal into a written agreement (the MBA) with a protege selected by the offeror. The offeror's performance under the proposal will be monitored by the contracting officer and cognizant small business specialists (from the buying activity and/or the Defense Contract Management Agency) during the contract period. This performance will be one factor used to determine placement of orders against multiple-award contracts and/or exercise of options in the contract's follow-on years (as applicable). It will also be used as an independent evaluation factor, and as an element of past performance evaluation, in subsequent source selection decisions.

(End of Provision)

52.219-9003 DLA Mentoring Business Agreements (MBA) Performance.

As prescribed in 19.9007, insert a clause substantially as follows:

DLA MENTORING BUSINESS AGREEMENTS (MBA) PERFORMANCE (DEC 1997) DLAD

(a) The contractor's proposed MBA plan shall become part of this contract upon award. The contractor is hereby obligated, as part of its contractual undertaking, to enter into a written, binding mentoring business agreement with a protege based on and reflective of this plan. Performance under the MBA plan shall be evaluated by the contracting officer, and may become a consideration prior to option exercise for the follow-on years of long-term contracts. MBA plan implementation may also become an independent evaluation factor and/or part of the overall past performance evaluation factor in future source-selection decisions.

(b) The contractor-mentor and its protege(s) shall meet semi-annually with the DLA contracting officer and the small business specialist(s) from the buying activity and/or the DCMA component to review progress/accomplishments under applicable MBA proposals. The contractor is also required to submit periodic progress reports (no less frequently than annually) to the contracting officer regarding proposal fulfillment. Any MBA with a protege that has voluntarily been submitted to the Government shall be compared by the contracting officer to the contractor's proposed plan, hereby incorporated into this contract, to ensure that it adequately reflects the mentor's obligations expressed therein.

Because EC/EDI transactions are often reformatted in transmission, the use of these codes will prevent misinterpretation within the system. The recording of unique codes instead of the traditional “x-in-the-box” form of information entry may also preclude potential mistakes in socioeconomic program reporting.

The offeror’s recording of its business type herein by means of an alpha code replaces the marking of the appropriate boxes in FAR 52.219-1, paragraph (b). The penalties for misrepresentation of business status still apply; see FAR 52.219-1, paragraph (d)(2).

> Code B=Small Business. Enter code B if your firm is a small business concern, as defined in FAR 52.219-1, paragraph (c).

This transportation cost will be added to the offered price to determine the overall cost to the Government; however, if the location from which the government furnished property will be shipped is not known at the time of issuance of the solicitation, the cost of transporting such property to the offeror’s plant will not be a factor in the evaluation of offers.

Government furnished materials will be shipped from: ____________________________________

Weight: _____________________________________

Cube: ______________________________________

(d) The delivery schedule contained in Section F is based on the assumption that delivery of Government-furnished property will be made to the contractor within 45 days, unless otherwise indicated, after date of award.

(e) Contractor's Receipt for GFP: Concurrently with each shipment of GFP, the Government will furnish the Contractor with shipping documents setting forth the exact quantity of property furnished. Within five days after receipt of GFP for performance under this contract, the Contractor shall acknowledge receipt on the Government shipping documents and return them to ___________________________________________________. The Government reserves the right to suspend further shipments of property until receipts for GFP have been properly prepared and received by the Government. Notwithstanding any other contract provision, delays by the Contractor caused by suspension of GFP shipments for failure to meet this provision shall not constitute an excusable delay within the meaning of the contract.

(a) Material to be Made Available by the Government:

(1) The Government will make available to the Contractor, for use in connection with and under the terms of this contract, the materials set forth below (hereinafter referred to as Government material), and the Contractor shall utilize such materials in the furnishing of supplies or services hereunder. The Government reserves the right to furnish such cloth put up either in rolls or folded, whenever such cloth is 46 inches wide or narrower. Cloth more than 46 inches wide will be furnished put up on rolls. The Government shall be the sole source of the supply of the materials listed herein and only such material obtained from the Government under this contract may be used in the performance of this contract.

Where material furnished contains fractions of a yard, the yardage shall be rounded to the whole yard. Fractions of less than one-half yard will be rounded to the next lower full yard; fractions of one-half yard or more will be rounded to the next higher full yard, e.g., 159 1/4 yards shall be rounded to 159 yards; 159 1/2 yards shall be rounded to 160.

TYPE OF MATERIAL UNIT PRICE LOCATION

(2) the offeror shall determine the quantity of Government material it will require in the performance of the contract and shall include the value of such material in its offered price(s). To calculate the value of the Government material, the offeror shall multiply the quantity of Government material it will require per unit by the unit price of the material set forth in paragraph (a)(1) of this clause.

(3) The Government reserves the right to make available not more than 10% of the material in short pieces. The Contractor shall cut and use short pieces furnished and/or generated and not retain them for return to the Government at completion of the contract. Only the types of materials listed above will be made available to the Contractor by the Government. All other types of materials required in the performance of this contract shall be furnished by the Contractor.

(4) The Government may furnish material in widths other than those specified herein. Where such other widths are furnished, the quantity thereof shall be converted to the mathematical equivalent in linear yards of the width specified and the value of the material furnished and returned will be determined accordingly. It is expressly agreed that this method of adjustment shall be exclusive. It is further agreed that regardless of widths furnished, the Government material shall not be deemed deficient or defective within the meaning of (k) below.

OR

(APPLICABLE FOR THE FOLLOWING ITEMS ONLY):

Tent Liners; Cover, Maintenance, Frame Supported; Fly, Tent; Screen, Latrine; Windbreaker, Flexible Material; Shelter Half, Tent; Cover, Tent (Various Type Tents and Sizes); all Paulins, except: Paulin, Ctn.

(4) The Government may furnish material in widths other than those specified herein. When the width furnished differs from the specified width by more than plus or minus 2 inches, the Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment in accordance with paragraph (k) herein if such substituted width causes increased performance costs; provided, however, that no equitable adjustment shall be allowed unless the 5-day and 30-day notices in paragraph (k)(2) and (k)(3) shall first have been given as provided therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for administration of the Government material account, where widths other than those specified are furnished, the quantity thereof shall be converted to the mathematical equivalent in linear yards of the width specified and the value of the material furnished and returned will be determined accordingly.

(5) In the event the Government makes the material available at locations other than those specified above, or requires the return of the material to a location other than specified above, freight adjustment(s) shall be made in the same manner as prescribed in the Changes clause specified in the solicitation/contract. No adjustment of less than $50.00 will be made pursuant to this paragraph.

(b) Property Account Number: The property account number is the contract number. Consolidated records are not authorized. The Contractor shall maintain separate records for each contract.

(c) Contractor's Request for Government Material: It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to request its requirements of the Government material, pursuant to the provisions of this clause, in sufficient time to comply with the delivery schedule of the contract. In the event that the Contractor requests Government material in excessive quantities, the contracting officer may, at his or her discretion and prior to release of any such excessive Government material, require the Contractor to submit such evidence as the contracting officer may deem adequate to support the Contractor's request for such material. When submission of such evidence is required, the Contractor shall also provide a copy of the same to the assigned property administrator located at the cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Office. Failure of the Contractor to furnish such evidence when required shall justify the contracting officer in refusing to grant the Contractor's request for such Government material. When the request for excessive Government material is approved, the value of that material shall be withheld from subsequent payments due the Contractor under this or any other contract pending final adjustment at completion of contract performance (see paragraph (e) of this clause).

(d) Availability of Government Material: For each required delivery of material, the Contractor shall submit a properly executed original DSCP Form 1786, Prime Contractor's request for Government material, to the Commander, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, 700 Robbins Avenue, Bldg 6-1-D, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5092, ATTN: Material Accountability Section, Directorate of Clothing & Textiles, DSCP-FQCA.

The Contractor shall be solely responsible for making transportation arrangements for the pickup and delivery of this material, using its own truck, or a leased or rental carrier. These arrangements shall be specified by the Contractor on the DSCP Form 1786. The Government material will be available for pickup not later than 21 calendar days after receipt of the original DSCP Form 1786 by the Government. The Contractor and the cognizant DCMA property administrator will be furnished copies of DSCP FL 504, Government-furnished Material Information, which will indicate the availability date of the Government material. On or after this date, such material may be picked up at the location specified above. Prior to pickup, the Contractor shall contact the storage location to coordinate the exact date for pickup and provide the name of the motor carrier to be used. If such pickup is not made within 10 calendar days after the availability date specified on DSCP FL 504, or the actual date the Government material becomes available, whichever date is later, the Government reserves the right to return the Government material to storage, unless a revised date for its pickup has been requested by the Contractor. If the Contractor later requires this Government material which has been returned to storage, submission of a new DSCP Form 1786 will be required. The Government will not be liable for any additional expense, delay, or loss incurred by the Contractor as a result of the aforementioned action being accomplished. All material picked up at the location specified will be made available at the shipping platform. Loading into the vehicle will be the responsibility of the Contractor or its representative. Delivery of the Government material shall be deemed to be accomplished when the material has been picked up by the Contractor, or its authorized representative.

(e) Payment: Upon delivery of end items, $____ per unit will be deducted from the contract price and applied to cover the value of the Government material. (This is an administratively determined rate to be offset against the value of the Government material furnished the Contractor, and should not be used by the offeror to determine its material requirements on which to base its offer price.) The balance of the contract price, less discounts computed on the basis of the amount remaining payable, shall be paid to the Contractor. The Contractor shall bill at the contract unit price, and shall also reflect deduction for the administratively determined rate per unit. Subsequent to final delivery, the Government shall issue a unilateral modification to the contract for the purpose of adjusting and finalizing the Government material account. Adjustments to the account shall be made as follows:

(1) if the total amount deducted from the contract price to cover the value of the Government material exceeds the value of all such material furnished the Contractor, the Contractor shall receive payment of the excess amount; or,

(2) if the total value of the Government material furnished the Contractor exceeds the amount deducted from the contract price to cover the value of the Government material, the Contractor shall reimburse the Government for the value of such material for which sufficient deductions were not taken. Regardless of the amount of Government material consumed, the unit cost to the Government of each item accepted including Government material shall not exceed the contract unit price for the item. (See notice requirements contained in paragraphs (k)(2) and (k)(3) below.) Should the Contractor take exception to any portion of the data contained in the modification, such exception, with supporting data, must be presented in writing to the contracting officer within 30 calendar days of the Contractor's receipt of the modification in order to be considered.

(f) Value of Government Material Furnished Contractor: To determine the total value of Government material furnished the Contractor, the Contractor will be charged for the total value of material furnished at unit prices stated in (a) above less $______ per rejected end item purchased by the Contractor and will receive credit at the unit price specified in (a) above for Government material unconsumed and returned by him in an undamaged condition to the Government.

(g) Contractor Inventory:

(1) Irreparable rejects: The Contractor agrees to purchase any or all irreparable rejects when notified in writing by the contracting officer, or its duly authorized representative, at $_______ per unit. An irreparable item shall be defined as an item that is physically unable to be repaired.

In computing the price offered, the offeror agrees it has taken into consideration the anticipated net proceeds, if any, of the sale of scrap and ends at the estimated market price at time of sale based on a projection of the current market price in the locality at which any contract awarded to it will be performed. The offeror further agrees that the price quoted by it on the items covered by this solicitation reflects consideration of anticipated receipt, if any, from the sale of scrap and ends.

(3) Return or Disposition of Other Government Material:

(i) All Government material other than irreparable rejects, scraps and ends, will be returned to the Government at the Contractor's expense, or disposed of by the Contractor as otherwise directed by the contracting officer within 30 days after completion of deliveries.

If short pieces generated by the Contractor during manufacture of the end item are being returned, these short pieces will be separately packed and identified and tagged with a piece ticket. Where a portion of material in a container is used, and short pieces are generated, this material will be packed separately from full-length pieces, and the container will be clearly marked "Short Pieces" followed by the length range of the contents. Each length range will be packed and marked separately.

(j) Responsibility for Government Material: The Contractor assumes the risk of, and is responsible, for any loss or damage to Government material from the time the material is delivered to the carrier at the originating location to the time it is re-delivered by the Contractor to the Government.

(k) Deficiency or Delay in Furnishing Government Material:

(1) In the event the Government material is not available for delivery to the Contractor (as in (d) above), the contracting officer shall, if requested by the Contractor, make a determination of the delay occasioned the Contractor thereby. If the Contractor does not make such request of the contracting officer within 7 days after the 21 days allowed for the Government to make the material available (paragraph (d) above) no equitable adjustment will be made to delivery or performance dates, or the contract price.

(2) In the event the Contractor believes that damaged, defective, or incorrect Government material has been furnished, EXCLUSIVE OF THE DEFICIENCIES ALLOWED BY THE ACCEPTABLE QUALITY LIMITS OF THE APPLICABLE FABRIC SPECIFICATION, or in the event of shortages, either within individual pieces or the entire shipment, narrow widths, or other discrepancies, the Contractor shall immediately examine the material in question, thoroughly document the type, location and extent of the deficiencies being alleged. For the determination of alleged defective Government material for excessive visual defects, the Contractor's examination of the Government material shall be in strict accordance with the quality assurance provisions for the fabric, including random sampling procedures and, as applicable, FED-STD-4 or MIL-STD-655 and the applicable Sears slub (i.e. knot in yarn) and knot gauges. The Contractor shall inspect and use fabric as it is opened and shall set aside higher point count (metric for assessing fabric defects) rolls for return as either "excess" or "defective" goods. Over-point count fabric set aside prior to cutting by the Contractor shall be returned to the shipment in question prior to random sampling. Upon completion of the examination, the Contractor shall immediately provide the QAR and the cognizant DCMA property administrator with a written notification of the alleged deficiencies, including the findings of its own examination of the material using a cloth perch (machine which allows unrolling/rerolling of fabric to search for defects). As a minimum, the Contractor shall provide the following data:

(vii) Total number of yards in shipment

(viii) Acceptable Quality Limits (or Acceptable Quality level (AQL), if applicable)

(ix) Number of rolls or yardage in sample

(x) Acceptance number

(xi) Recommended disposition

The Contractor shall promptly provide the QAR access to a cloth perch, which the QAR will use to examine the material in question. The QAR shall verify the damage, defect, shortage, narrow width, or discrepancy as documented in the Contractor's notification, and will report the findings of the verification to the contracting officer and cognizant DCMA property administrator. NOTE: THE QAR'S EXAMINATION OF ALLEGEDLY DEFICIENT MATERIAL WILL BE LIMITED TO VERIFYING THOSE DEFICIENCIES SET FORTH IN THE NOTIFICATION AND EXAMINATION REPORT PROVIDED BY THE CONTRACTOR. In the absence of the Government QAR, the Contractor shall immediately so notify the contracting officer of the damage, defect, shortage, narrow width, or discrepancy. The Contractor shall not cut or use such Government material, or in the event the damage, defect, shortage, narrow width or discrepancy is such that it could not reasonably have been discovered until after cutting or further processing, the Contractor shall not further process such Government material pending instructions from the contracting officer. If replacement is to be made, the Government shall effect the replacement at its own expense, including transportation costs. When the return of the GFM is authorized, the Contractor will ship it in accordance with paragraph (g)(3)(ii) and include a copy of the Contractor's notification of deficiencies (including examination report) and the QAR's deficiency verification (DLA Form 506, and DLA Form 499 or 504). If the Contractor fails to notify either the cognizant Government QAR or the contracting officer within 5 days of discovery of any damage, defect, shortage, narrow width or discrepancy in the Government material, no equitable adjustment will be made in the delivery or performance dates or the contract price.

(3) In cases of delay or failure to furnish any of the duly requested Government material or in cases where the Government has furnished damaged, defective, short, narrow width, or other discrepancies in the material, the contracting officer, upon written request of the Contractor, shall equitably adjust the delivery or performance date, or the contract price or both and any other contractual provisions effected thereby, in accordance with FAR 52.243-1, Changes--Fixed-Price. If the Contractor does not request such an adjustment within 30 days from the time the Contractor either knew or should have known of any such delay or failure to furnish duly requested material, or shortage within the piece, narrow width or other discrepancy in the Government material furnished, no adjustment will be made. Under no circumstances shall the Government include as an element of any adjustment under this clause any amount for loss of prospective profits. Further, the foregoing provisions for adjustment are exclusive, and the Government shall not be liable to suit for breach of contract by reason of any delay or failure to furnish Government material to the Contractor.

(4) In no event may the Contractor assert a defense against assessment of additional monies due under (e) above, nor shall the Contractor claim refund of monies deducted under said paragraph on the ground of shortages, narrow width, or other discrepancies in the Government material unless the 5-day and the 30-day notices in paragraphs (k)(2) and (k)(3) above shall first have been given as provided therein.

(5) Cloth containing deficiencies considered acceptable in accordance with applicable specifications shall not be considered defective. Any claim for shortage within the roll shall be adjusted as follows: For shortage on individual pieces only, credit will be taken by the Government for the minus tolerance provided for individual pieces in the "Examination for Length" paragraph of the fabric specification; for the entire shipment, the Government will reduce the total shortage by the total overage on all pieces in the shipment found to be longer than the length specified on the piece ticket. Narrow widths shall be subject to adjustment only where the discrepancy exceeds 1/4 inch. Measurement shall be "overall" or "exclusive of selvage (i.e. non-fraying woven edge)," in accordance with the width provision of the applicable fabric specification.

(l) Protection of Government Material, Title, Access: The Contractor shall establish and maintain a program for the use, maintenance, repair, protection and preservation of Government property in accordance with sound industrial practice and the applicable provisions of Subpart 45.5 of the FAR, with the exceptions noted in paragraphs (b), (c) and (p) and with the exception that Government property shall be physically segregated from the Contractor’s own property. The Contractor shall arrange and maintain its plant(s) to insure clean and sanitary conditions and insure proper identification and segregation of material for each Government contract. Title to the Government material shall remain with the Government and shall not be affected by the incorporation or attachment thereof to any property not owned by the Government. The Government shall at all reasonable times have access to the premises wherein any Government material is located. Additionally, the following requirements shall be adhered to with respect to broad woven and knitted fabrics. Original piece tickets and wrapping shall remain intact until material is spread for cutting. Material shall be stored dry and away from heat and shall not be exposed to weather. Rolls shall not stand on end at any time, nor be cross stacked and under excessive load. If necessary, rolls shall be placed on side-supported pallets with no more than 4 tiers of rolls per pallet.

(m) Retention of Essential Records: The Contractor shall retain the original Government piece tickets on the pieces until spread for cutting. The Contractor shall also retain in its possession for a period of 12 months subsequent to completion of performance of this contract, all piece tickets removed from Government material. The Contractor shall assemble all piece tickets from a particular lay in one bundle, and all bundles shall be consecutively numbered so as to indicate the order in which the lays were cut. All piece tickets retained by the Contractor shall be returned to the Government upon the Government's request. In addition, the Contractor shall retain cutting records and any fallout records for each lay (section) for the above stated 12-month period. The Contractor shall retain the documentation specified in this paragraph in addition to the basic information required by FAR 45.505-1.

(n) Settlement of Length Discrepancies: The length marked on the piece tickets of cloth made available as Government material reflects the measurement metered during preparation for delivery of the cloth, using mechanical measuring devices. An inherent disparity exists between these measurements and cutting table measurements, because the latter are subject to many variables that cannot be controlled. Accordingly, claims for shortages based on cutting table measurements will be considered for allowance only when the shortage on an individual piece exceeds 3-1/2% of the length marked on the piece ticket. All other claims for shortages shall be based on measurements using a mechanical measuring device (calibrated in accordance with the current edition of MIL-STD-45662, Calibration System requirements) activated positively by direct contact, with the fabric in continuous motion. These measurements can be determined by using such devices as true meter, length counter on cloth perch, or similar devices. Length measurements shall be in units of 1/8 yard and multiples thereof.

(o) Final Shipment Notice and Contractor's Representative: Simultaneous with release of the final shipment, the Contractor shall provide information copies of the final shipping document to the cognizant DCMA property administrator and to the Material Accountability Section, Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, ATTN: DSCP-FQCA. The representation reads as follows: "It is represented that, with respect to the type(s) of material which the contract provides shall be furnished solely by the Government, all material of said type(s) used in the performance of this contract was furnished by the Government for the performance of this contract; that property furnished by the Government under this contract has been returned to the designated depot(s) or installation(s) and/or disposed of or transferred as authorized by the contracting officer, or its authorized representative, in the form of finished articles, or otherwise; and that this representation is made with full knowledge and understanding of the penalty imposed by Section 1001, Title 18, U.S. Code, for so representing falsely." The cognizant DCMA property administrator shall monitor the Contractor's adherence to the time frames specified for the disposition of excess Government material (paragraph (g)(3)) and for the execution of the above referenced representation. In the event the Contractor fails to comply with these time frames, the Government reserves the right to initiate the final adjustment to the Contractor's Government material account based on the data contained in the Government's official property record.

(p) Records of Government Property: Notwithstanding (m) above, the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia will maintain the Government's official Government property records for the Government material provided. The requirements of FAR 45.505(c) are hereby made applicable to the Contractor’s property records in lieu of the official Government property records. The recording of pricing information shall be maintained as part of the Contractor’s property records.

(q) Discounts: Unless otherwise stipulated by the Contractor and agreed to by the Government, prompt payment discounts will be computed on the basis of the balance of the contract price remaining payable after deduction of the administratively determined rate per unit (which is applied to cover the value of the Government material furnished) as specified in paragraph (e), above.

(r) Diversions of Shipment: Diversions of shipment shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Changes clause specified in the solicitation/contract. When Government material is furnished under this clause and the end item destination and storage location for the Government material were originally located in the same geographical area, a freight adjustment shall be made when the diversion precludes the Contractor from picking up the Government material by its own or leased trucks upon delivery of end items. The price adjustment for such shipment shall be based on the difference between the transportation costs of end item shipment to the new destination and one-half the transportation costs of the end item shipment to the old destination.

52.245-9022 Sized Items

As prescribed in 45.106(106) insert the following clause:

SIZED ITEMS (Jul 2008) - DLAD

(a) Contracts for quantities less than the quantity solicited for each destination shall be in the same ratio to the total quantity solicited for each size by destination in the solicitation, except that when the total quantity herein specified for any size is determined by the contracting officer to be impractical for pro-rating between Contractors, the Government reserves the right to award such total quantity to any one Contractor. Unless otherwise specifically permitted in the solicitation, offers limited to selected sizes only or quantities of sizes not in the same ratio as the stated tariff of sizes by destination will not be considered for award.

(b) The Contractor shall make all shipments in even case lots limited to one size. In the event that monthly delivery requirements result in less than case lot quantities remaining for shipment at the end of any one month, the Contractor shall hold said quantity until even case lot quantity is obtained. Where shipment in an even case lot quantity for each size is impracticable because it is the final shipment, the Contractor may ship less than an even case lot quantity for each size and may mix different sizes within the same carton.

(c) Changes:

Sizes and/or quantities of each size awarded are subject to change by the contracting officer. The Government and the Contractor agree that the monetary adjustment shall be limited to the value of the saving or excess in material usage. (No adjustment shall be made for labor, overhead, freight, package and packaging.) The savings or excess usage shall be determined as follows:

(1) Clothing (except for items in Para (2) below):

The material usage shall be computed by multiplying the number of square inches for each size being increased, decreased by the number of items being changed in that size. The difference between the total increase and the total decrease in square inches represents the savings or excess in material usage for the change in sizes. This excess or savings in usage shall be first converted to linear yards using the appropriate fabric width, and then converted into dollars using the cost per yard of the material(s). (NOTE: On Government-furnished Material (GFM) contracts, the material width(s) specified in clause 52.245-9011 of the contract shall be used; on Contractor

-furnished Material (CFM) contracts, the width as verified by the Contractor's invoices or the Government's physical inspection of the material(s) shall be used.) The resultant amount shall be the sole equitable adjustment in contract price for the size change. In the event the total square inches for each size change are not included in the contract, the Government will compute the square inches involved and determine the adjustment in accordance with the above procedures.

(i) On contracts where GFM is utilized and the change in sizes affects the usage requirement, payments shall be made by a modification crediting the Contractor's material usage account where the usage requirement increases, and charging the Contractor's material usage account where usage requirement decreases.

(ii) On CFM contracts where the change in sizes affects the usage requirements of the CFM, payment shall be effected by a modification either increasing or decreasing the contract price whichever is appropriate in CFM contracts.

(2) Knitwear, Rubber Footwear, Equipage (i.e. accessory) Items, Protective Clothing, and Protective Gloves: Any such change shall be deemed to be a change within the purview of the "Changes" provision.

(3) Leather Footwear: The material usage for any given size which has been changed, compute as follows: (see chart below)

(i) Multiply the point value of the size being changed by the quantity being changed;

(ii) Multiply the point value of the new size by the quantity being changed;

(iii) Determine the difference between (i) and (ii) above to arrive at the net points gained or lost;

(iv) The excess or savings shall be converted to dollars by multiplying the net points gained or lost by the unit cost. This figure will then be multiplied by 2%. The resultant total shall be the sole equitable adjustment.

NOTE: When utilizing Point Value Table, the following will apply:

Extra narrow will be computed using Narrow.

Extra Wide will be computed using Wide.

Half Sizes will be computed using the Next Higher Size.

(v) An additional adjustment will be made where size changes require expenditures for leather component materials beyond the quantity and/or unit price originally committed and contracted. At the time of a change in sizes, the Contractor shall provide documentation regarding the market price of hides and leather footage costs both at time of offer and at the time the size change was directed. (The Contractor's supportive invoices for the additional quantity, together with the invoice for the original material will be considered satisfactory documentation.)

(d) However, where, as a result of the change in sizes, work in process, residual inventory (i.e., components, raw materials, etc.), and/or means of production (i.e., markers, dies, etc.) cannot be utilized, an adjustment will be made to compensate the Contractor for the direct costs expended. (If Government-furnished Property is involved, material credit will be given for work in process). In the event an adjustment is made, the contracting officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of the property for which the Contractor has been compensated.

(e) The method of adjusting for size changes indicated above will also be applied to pattern changes.

(End of Clause)

52.245-9023 Firm And Flexible Sizes

As prescribed in 45.106(107) insert the following clause:

FIRM AND FLEXIBLE SIZES (Jul 2008) - DLAD

(a) The sizes set forth in Section F hereof for the first three delivery increments are firm; however, the Contractor may not proceed to cut and fabricate for such increments until following the expiration of 3 working days from the date of award during which time the Government reserves the right to make one change to these firm sizes.

(b) Except as provided below:

(1) The size for the remaining delivery increments are flexible;

(2) The flexible sizes are furnished for the purposes of formulation and evaluation of offers;

(3) The Contractor may not proceed to cut and fabricate the flexible portion.

(c) Firm sizes for the flexible portion will be furnished by the contracting officer not later than 120 days prior to the end of each applicable delivery period. If notice of change for the flexible portion is not given by such time, the Contractor may cut sizes and quantities set forth in the flexible schedule for the applicable delivery period. Once the Contractor has been furnished the firm sizes for the flexible portions of the schedule, it will be considered a firm schedule for the applicable delivery increment.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, sizes and/or quantities of each size are further subject to change by the contracting officer; any such change shall be deemed to be a change within the purview of the article entitled "Changes.” All changes made under the provisions of this clause shall be made in accordance with clause 52.245-9022, Sized Items.

(End of Clause)

52.245-9024 Special Measurements

As prescribed in 45.106(108) insert the following clause:

SPECIAL MEASUREMENTS (Jul 2008) – DLAD

(a) In addition to the Government's rights under the provisions of DLAD clause 52.245-9022, Sized Items, the Government reserves the right to make size changes to include special measurement items. Special measurement items may be outside the range of the normal size tariff for that item. The Contractor will be responsible for adjustments to the Government-furnished patterns made necessary by the addition of special measurement items.

(b) Delivery of the special measurement items shall be to the location designated in the contract modification formalizing the change. The special measurement items shall arrive at the designated location within twelve (12) calendar days after the effective date of the contract modification.

(c) Any increased costs incurred by the Contractor as a result of a special measurement size change will be definitized by the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO). Definitization shall be based on the following:

(1) Any increased costs for labor shall be limited to charges for special pattern grading and special cutting.

(2) Any adjustment (increase or decrease) for material usage will be based upon the Contractor's actual material usage.

(d) The total claim for an equitable adjustment under this clause shall not exceed 25% of the highest unit price for the corresponding item under this contract, exclusive of transportation costs. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the contract as changed.

(End of Clause)

52.245-9025 Contractor Control of Government-furnished Property (GFP)

As prescribed in 45.106(109) insert the following clause:

CONTRACTOR CONTROL OF GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED PROPERTY (GFP) (Jul 2008) - DLAD

(a) Clause 52.245-1, Government Property, requires the Contractor to comply with basic requirements to be observed by the Contractor in establishing and maintaining control over Government property provided pursuant to the terms of the contract. The Contractor shall establish a system, either manual or mechanized, which will assure adequate control for all Government property provided under this contract, including property provided under the contract as may be in the possession or control of a subcontractor. The system shall assure that records created and maintained provide the true physical and financial accounting of Government property, contract items shipped into the Contractor’s plant by other Contractors, property in possession of subcontractors, assembly Contractor acquired material converted to Government property under the terms of this contract, and property furnished by the Government to use by the Contractor under the terms of this contract. The property control system for Government property shall comply with the requirements of FAR and shall be approved, in writing by the Government contract property administrator. In addition to that information described in FAR 52.245-1, inventories for Government property shall include lot numbers for all food items.

(b) Unusable Subsistence Means:

(1) A food item which is fit for human consumption but its condition is such that it must be issued with a limited time frame and due to its condition cannot be used as a component within the meal assembly, or

(2) A food item which is in such condition as to be unfit for human consumption and which must be destroyed by burning, burial or other means. Disposition of such supplies will be directed by the contracting officer and will be at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor is responsible for all handling, storage, preparation for shipment and authorized destruction for all Government-furnished Material (GFM) at no cost to the Government.

(c) Definitions:

(1) Manufacturer’s damage is defined as that damage to Government-furnished property--

(i) Discovered at the time of ration assembler’s inspection of incoming shipments as verified by the Government representative (except damage directly attributable to transportation), or

(ii) Found to be unusable during production operations due to defects obviously originating at the manufacturer level.

(2) Assembler’s damage is defined as that damage to GFP ration components which is not attributable to manufacturers damage, concealed damage, inspection incurred damage, or transportation damage.

(3) Concealed damage is defined as that damage where the cause or responsibility cannot be determined by the Government representative upon receipt inspection, is discovered subsequent to receiving inspection and not identifiable; as manufacturer or assembler incurred, i.e., which are discovered after the components have been accepted by assembler but prior to, or during assembly. Concealed damage shall be verified by the army veterinary inspector (AVI) and shall be certified by the AVI as not being assembler damage.

(4) Inspection incurred damage is defined as those components-

(i) Damaged or destroyed in verification examination,

(ii)Components submitted to the laboratory for destructive or special testing, and

(iii) Components destroyed by the Contractor in required Contractor examination and testing.

(d) The Contractor shall maintain a salvage department to daily identify and classify, under the Government representative’s guidance and direction, all damage to GFM (i.e., manufacturer’s, assembler’s, or concealed damage). All damaged GFM, after screening by the Contractor and verification by the Government representative, shall be reported to the contracting officer for disposition. The report(s) shall be submitted on a monthly basis and numbered sequentially; i.e., the first month’s report will be No. 1, the second month will be No. 2, etc. DSCP Form 2651-1, 2651-2, 2651-3 and 2651-4 supplied by the assigned Government representative will be used. Troop issue quantities should include the approximate number of truckloads required to ship said product. Number of truckloads should be separately designed for crackers alone and for all other components. Failure to submit applicable DSCP Forms 2651’s on a monthly basis will result in findings by the PCO that the assembler will be the cause of any delays in the assembly operations by reason of insufficient GFM, and is therefore liable for all the resultant cost. The submitted DSCP Form 2651’s must be executed by the Government representative or the document will not be considered valid and therefore will not relieve the Contractor of this requirement or of its liability for any assembly shutdown. In addition, nonconformances detected in GFM must be reported to the PCO on a daily basis.

(End of Clause)

52.245-9026 Special Instructions for Compressed Gas Requirements (includes FSCs 6830 and 8120)

52.245-9028 Allowable Losses for Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) and Tray Pack Government-furnished Property (GFP)

As prescribed in 45.106(112) insert the following clause:

ALLOWABLE LOSSES FOR MEAL, READY-TO-EAT (MRE) AND TRAY PACK GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED PROPERTY (GFP)

(Jul 2008) – DLAD

(a) All component items received will be palletized.

(b) The Government will deliver the following components listed in paragraph (c) below. If by truck, delivery will be made F.O.B. From the Contractor’s plant; if by rail, delivery will be made F.O.B. rail cars from the Contractor’s plant.

(c) The quantities of each component listed below are based on assembly of ________ cases and Contractors will be furnished proportionate quantities based upon their final award share. The following percentages represent the allowable loss due to assembly Contractor damage:

Component | Quantity | Unit | Loss Allowable Percentage

NOTES: | (1) Being procured in equal quantities of orange, lemon-lime, grape and cherry flavors. (2) Being procured in equal quantities for incorporation into appropriate menus at random. (3) Being procured to allow for at least three different varieties with no more than two of any one kind, in an assembled MRE case.

(d) An amount of money not to exceed ___% of the total contract amount, or ________ whichever is smaller, will be withheld pending determination of the Contractor’s liability for GFP.

(e) The liability of the assembly Contractor for loss and damages to GFP (components) shall be calculated as follows:

(1) A final physical inventory will be performed by the assembly Contractor and the results furnished the DCMA office within 14 days after completion of the contract with a copy to the principal contracting officer (PCO). Additionally, the Contractor shall prepare a final inventory reconciliation as described below and provide this report to the DCMA and the contracting officer within 30 days from contract completion. Failure to comply with these timely submissions will be deemed a breach of contract and may result in the Contractor being liable for the value of the GFM residuals determined not suitable for transfer due to such delay. Additionally, the Government shall not be liable for any resultant start-up delays due to lack of GFM. The Contractor will be required to store, prepare for shipment and handle all residual components for a period of ninety days after agreement to the final inventory has been reached between the Contractor and the Government. The date of agreement shall be the day the Government executes the contract modification concerning the inventory reconciliation. The final inventory will be performed on an item-by-item basis and at a minimum give the quantities, dates of pack and status for all components. The Contractor will provide any and all resources necessary for DCMD/AVI verification of the final inventory. The Contractor will be responsible to reimburse the Government for any and all losses to the components based on the following inventory reconciliation list. (Calculate the amount owed (TOTAL RESIDUAL below) by deducting items ii-v below from item i):

(i) Quantity received per component

(ii) - Quantity consumed in completed cases

TOTAL

(iii) - Quantity transferred out on DD 250’s (or if transferred in)

TOTAL

(iv) - Manufacturer damages, concealed damages*, and inspection damages**

TOTAL

(v) - Actual assembler damage

= TOTAL RESIDUAL

* Concealed damage is damage that cannot be determined by the government

representative upon receipt inspection, is discovered subsequent to

receiving inspection, and not identifiable as manufacturer or assembler

incurred.

** Inspection incurred damage occurs when components are damaged in

verification examination, submitted to a laboratory for destructive or

special testing, or destroyed by the contractor in required contractor

examination and testing.

The residual figure as calculated above will be compared to the physical inventory. If the actual physical inventory is less than the residual figure, the Contractor will be liable to the Government for the difference in the monetary value of that item. The dollar value will be calculated by multiplying the unit price or the weighted average price of the item by the number of components unaccounted for. Offsets may be made in the area of homogenous items, described in paragraph (g). Offsets for homogenous items will be made based on the values of the items, e.g., a calculated shortage of $2,000 for peanut butter may be offset by a calculated overage of $2,000 for cheese spread.

(2) If the Contractor’s assembler damage exceeds the allowable loss percentage, for an item as delineated in H-5C of the assembly solicitation, the Contractor will reimburse the Government. The Contractor’s liability will be calculated by multiplying the Government’s unit price of the component by the number of units in excess of the allowable cost. The monetary loss of any one component due to excessive damage cannot be reduced by the savings from another component. Therefore, if the total dollar value of the contract damages (computed as the sum of the total dollar value of the damages allowed for each individual GFM item) is less than the total dollar value of the damages allowed under the contract, but various individual component items were damaged over the allowable tolerances, the Contractor is still liable for the cost of these individual component damages. However, in the area of homogeneous items, as listed in paragraph (g), offsets may be taken. Offsets will be calculated on a value basis as described in paragraph (e). For example, if the actual losses for cheese spread have exceeded the allowable losses but the actual losses for peanut butter, a homogeneous item, are less than the allowable loss quantity, the dollar difference between the actual and allowable losses for peanut butter can be applied to the value of the excess losses of cheese spread to reduce the Contractor liability for the cheese spread. This procedure is allowed only for homogeneous items.

(3) A ___% surcharge will be added to the total liability for loss and damages to account for administrative handling and transportation charges.

(4) In no event shall the Contractor be reimbursed if the value of actual physical inventory exceeds the value of calculated residual. Homogeneous items are defined as follows:

(f) The Government reserves the right to substitute any of the above or alternate components, and the Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional compensation so long as the substituted items are of substantially the same size as the components for which they are substituted. The contracting officer shall be notified no less than ten (10) working days in advance of any component shortage. If the Contractor fails to provide this notice, and assembly is delayed, resulting assembly delay damages shall not be assessable against the Government. Wire notices of GFM components shortages will include the total receipt and on hand quantity for subject items.

(g) GFP listed herein is scheduled for delivery to the assembler’s plant in quantities as outlined below, however, not in any particular component order or any regular daily rate of delivery. Regardless of this schedule, deliveries of components will be accelerated to the extent necessary to ship minimum carload and/or truckload quantities.

| Percentage of Components Needed to Support Assembly (See H-5.c.) | Components Delivery Period
Thermostabilized Items: |  |
Sugar: |  |
Crackers: |  |
Other Components: |  |

Components required to support the quantity of the line items awarded will be delivered as shown above. However, the Government will not be liable for assembly delays caused by delinquent components if the components are delivered before the first day of the corresponding final assembly delivery period or if the components necessary to maintain assembly are delivered prior to an assembly shutdown caused by lack of components. The assembly Contractor shall immediately notify the contracting officer of the failure of any components to be delivered in accordance with the above schedule. The PCO may be contacted by telephone at area code (215) 737-____.

(h) The component delivery schedule shown above may be adjusted at no additional cost to the Government. The Contractor warrants and agrees that he will be ready and able to receive and to store by time of award until assembly or disposition pursuant to this contract, and at no cost to the Government, 70% of the total quantity on a unit basis of all components to be delivered. (The 70% will be determined on a unit basis, e.g., cheese spread - 15,912,000 x 70% = 11,138,400 bags). This percentage does not apply to individual components but rather to the total of all components. Therefore, deliveries in excess of 70% of one component may be offset by deliveries of less than 70% of another component. (E.g., if 100% of one item, e.g., 15,912,000 bags of cheese spread are received, they may be offset by receipt of only 30% of another item, e.g., 5,853,600 pouches of peanut butter). The Contractor may be required to receive and store in excess of the quantity required herein in accordance with the changes clause of this contract. Assistance in determining required storage facilities is available by contacting DSCP-FTRHR at a/c (215) 737-____.

(i) The Contractor will promptly unload all GFP delivered F.O.B. his plant, at his own expense, irrespective of the schedule provided herein for the delivery of the GFP. The Government will not be liable in any manner or form for any demurrage charge accruing as a result of the Contractor’s failure or inability to unload cars promptly. It is the assembly Contractor’s responsibility to have adequate warehousing and offloading capabilities for the quantities of components schedules below. Failure to have adequate offloading capabilities may result in Government storage of product, either at a Government or commercial facility, which will be charged to the assembly Contractor. Any and all changes resulting from the Contractor’s failure to unload cars shall be the liability of the Contractor.

(j) If required, the Contractor will, at no cost to the Government, continue to store, handle and prepare for shipment or dispose of residual GFP for a period of ninety calendar days beginning immediately after whichever of the following occurs later:

(1) agreement to the final inventory has been reached between the Contractor and the Government

(2) final shipment of assembled meals

Disposition will be in accordance with instructions from the contracting officer. In the event that Contractor storage exceeds this period, the Government will only be liable for those additional and direct costs incurred by the Contractor as a result of this extended storage. Preparation for shipment of GFM shall include adequate packing, unitization and blocking and bracing. Any damage to GFM during transportation as a result of inadequate preparation for shipment shall be the liability of the Contractor.

(k) Payment hereunder will be based upon the number of completed boxes assembled and delivered. No compensation will be allowed for subassemblies which are not incorporated into completed boxes. All such subassemblies shall be and remain sole property of the Government and shall be accounted for as residual inventory. All Contractor-furnished material (CFM) will be inventoried at the completion of this contract following the procedures stipulated in this solicitation, and forwarded to the troop issue destination as directed by DSCP-FTR (See paragraph H-5(e)), unless the Contractor requests otherwise in writing. If a request is received from a Contractor for use of residual CFM under this contract for any subsequent contracts, or from any previous contracts for use in the assembly of this contract, a complete inventory of the item(s) involved, the applicable lot numbers and dates of processing shall be provided. DSCP-FTR shall forward direction regarding approval of the proposed transfer. If the transfer is approved, modification of the prime contract shall be effected in the following manner:

(1) In regard to residual CFM to be considered for use under the current contract, the following shall apply:

(i) For residual quantities up to and including the total quantity negotiated as a tolerance under the prior contract (computed by adding the quantity damaged plus residual material enough to reach the quantity tolerance), all residual material will be transferred at no cost. The current contract quantity requirement for the residual item(s) shall be reduced accordingly.

(ii) For residual quantities over the quantity negotiated as a tolerance under a prior contract (see paragraph (k) above), the quantity of residual material up to that tolerance quantity negotiated (computed by the quantity tolerance) shall be transferred in accordance with paragraph (k)(1)(I) above. Any quantity over and above the tolerance negotiated may be offered to the Government. If the request is accepted, the Contractor shall be reimbursed for that product at the unit price negotiated under the prior contract. The current contract quantity requirement for that item shall be reduced accordingly.

(iii) For purposes of executing the above transfer, the Contractor shall promptly forward closing inventories of all products at the completion of all the applicable contracts. This ending inventory shall be verified by the DCMA property administrator or an authorized representative. All GFM and CFM, if when combined with the damaged CFM totals the negotiated damages quantity in the contract, shall be immediately retained for use on the following contract at no cost to the Government. Any remaining CFM may be transferred in accordance with paragraph (ii) above. All final transactions shall be accomplished by formal modifications.

(2) In regard to residual Contractor-furnished material under this contract to be considered for use under a subsequent contract, if applicable, the provision of paragraph (k)(1) above shall govern except reference to “prior contract(s)” shall be deleted and substituted with “the current contract” and reference to “the current contract” shall be deleted and substituted with “future contract”.

(l) The Government reserves the right to increase or decrease the quantities of Government-furnished components specified herein but not by an amount to exceed 5% for any specific item. Notwithstanding the fact that supplies have been accepted at F.O.B. origin, blocks 21b and 22 of the DD 250 will be signed by the cognizant Government inspector and Contractor quality assurance representative respectively for evidence of receipt of shipment for count, identity and condition of supplies received. The fully executed copies of the DD 250 must be immediately mailed to the attention of _____________.

(m) The Contractor shall not incorporate any defective components into the assembled meals. For defective GFM components, the Contractor shall, at its own expense, set aside, store and handle such defective components in accordance with (i) and (j) above, provided that, in the event that the quantity of such defective components exceeds 5% of the total quantity of that component furnished, an equitable adjustment shall be made in the contract price to compensate the Contractor for its cost of storing and handling that quantity of defective components which is in excess of 5% of the total quantity of that component furnished and the contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause of this contract entitled “disputes”. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with contract performance. In addition, the cost data detailing Contractor costs, if any, for storage and handling of the quantity of defective components in excess of 5% of the total quantity of that component furnished must be submitted within 10 days of completion of the screening operation. Failure to submit this cost data within 10 days of completion of this operation shall constitute the Contractor’s agreeing that this screening operation was performed at no cost to the Government. In the event that the Contractor discovers excessive defects for any GFM component, the Army Veterinary Inspector (AVI) should be notified immediately, so that they can perform a warranty inspection if such is determined applicable.

(n) It is the responsibility of the Contractor to promptly inspect all GFM arriving at this plant for count, condition and identity and to promptly annotate bills of lading and material inspection and receiving reports (DD Form 250) furnished by the component Contractor as to any shortage or damage, after notice to and verification by the Army Veterinary Inspector (AVI) (see (e)(2) for procedure requirements). The final responsibility for signing the material inspection and receiving reports, resulting in acceptance of the product, rests with the Government inspector even though this acceptance may be based on the Contractor’s inspection results. The Contractor must distribute fully executed DD forms 250 within seven calendar days from receipt of shipment with receipt clarified to mean date of delivery and not inspection or acceptance. Distribution is as follows: 1 copy to Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, ATTN: ____________, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5092 and 1 copy to the payment office indicated on the DD Form 250 accompanying the component shipments. The payment office copies shall be forwarded via express mail or overnight delivery; Contractors shall group DD Forms 250 by payment office for daily expediting. Failure to comply may result in any lost payment discounts to the Government being assessed against assembly in addition to liability for all resultant costs associated with insufficient GFM. Manufacturer/transportation damages not annotated at time of receipt inspection in accordance with (e)(2) will be considered assembler damage, unless promptly made available for verification by the AVI and the AVI manufacturer/ transportation damages shall be annotated at time of receipt inspection only, unless concealed damages can be ascertained by the AVI. An email shall be forwarded to: __________ by every Friday which includes all GFM receipted for during that week. The following information should be contained in the weekly email:

Notwithstanding any other clause to the contrary, and/or in addition thereto, the Government reserves the right to conduct PVT to ascertain if any or all requirements of the purchase identification description contained elsewhere herein are met prior to final acceptance.

> (c) On any given contract, the Government may require PVT through a Government-designated testing laboratory on the contract or production lot at Government expense to verify

> conformance. When the contract is designated by the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO)/Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) for PVT, the Government Quality Assurance Representative (QAR) will select a random sample, from lots presented by the contractor for Government acceptance, to verify that the entire lot tendered meets the requirements of the contract or during production to ensure critical manufacturing processes are in control and send the samples to a Government-designated laboratory for testing at the Government’s expense. The PVT samples shall be shipped with a copy of the DD Form 250, a DD Form 1222 (as prepared in coordination with the QAR) and marked as follows: “PRODUCT VERIFICATION TEST SAMPLES, Contract No._____________, Lot/Item No.________________." Upon shipment of the PVT samples, the original unsigned DD Form 250, along with a copy of the DD Form 1222, shall be submitted to the PCO.

> Upon notification to the contractor that PVT is invoked, the contractor shall not ship any material from the sampled lot until the contractor receives notification of acceptable PVT results. Government reserves the right to reject the lot, or withhold payment if the contractor ships prior to Government approval of the PVT. The Government will notify the Contractor of the results of the testing within 15 working days after receipt of the samples by the Government.

(d) Samples subjected to PVT are deemed to be part of the contract quantity. Samples destroyed during testing will be paid for at the contract price, provided the samples pass PVT. Those samples not destroyed during PVT will be returned to the Contractor at the Government's expense and will be included as part of the total contract quantity within the limits of the quantity variation clause specified in the contract.

(e) The Contractor will not be paid for those samples destroyed during testing which fail PVT. Such failure will result in rejection of the entire contract lot from which the samples were taken. Those samples from a rejected lot which were not destroyed during PVT may be returned to the Contractor at the Contractor's request and expense.

(f) [This subparagraph pertains only to contracts and bilateral purchase orders.]

> (1) The QAR will evaluate the test results and accept or reject the rest of the production lot based on those results. At acceptance, the QAR is authorized to notify the contractor and send copies of the report to the Product Verification Program (PVP) Office and the PCO. If the Government fails to act within the period set forth herein for notification, the Contracting Officer shall, upon timely written request, equitably adjust, under the Changes clause of this contract, the delivery or performance dates and/or the contract price and any other contractual terms affected by the delay. The Government is not required to accept/reject the supplies tendered until after receipt of the PVT results.

(2) The Government shall have the option to require the contractor to screen the entire lot tendered for any defects noted by the PVT. Any defects found shall be corrected before re-tendering the lot for acceptance by the Government. Furthermore, the Government may subject this lot to additional PVT. If the Government disapproves the lot tendered for acceptance because of a failure to pass PVT, the Contractor shall be deemed to have failed to make delivery within the meaning of the Default clause of this contract. In such case, the Government reserves all rights to remedies to which it is otherwise entitled by law, regulation, or this contract.

(g) [This subparagraph pertains only to unilateral purchase orders.]

(1) The QAR will evaluate the test results and accept or reject the rest of the production lot based on those results. At acceptance, the QAR is authorized to notify the contractor and send copies of the report to the PVP Office and the PCO. The Government is not required to accept/reject the supplies tendered until after receipt of the PVT results.

(2) The Government shall have the option to require the contractor to screen the entire lot tendered for any defects noted by the PVT. Any defects so found shall be corrected before re-tendering the lot for acceptance by the Government. Furthermore, the Government may subject this lot to additional PVT. If the Government disapproves the lot tendered for acceptance because of a failure to pass the PVT, the Government has the right to reject the entire offer, thereby releasing the parties from further obligations under the purchase order.

Alternate I When acquiring Packaged Petroleum Products, use the following paragraph (c) in lieu of paragraph (c) in the basic clause:

(c) On any given contract, the Government may require PVT through a Government-designated testing laboratory on a lot tendered for acceptance or during production on a number of samples

at the Government’s expense. However, the provision of sample containers and all costs associated with the transportation of samples to and from the testing facility will be the responsibility of the Contractor. The samples will be sent to a Government-designated testing laboratory for PVT. Testing will consist of chemical and/or mechanical/dimensional conformance tests as the Government deems necessary to verify conformance to contract requirements. When the contract designates such test, the Government QAR will conduct lot acceptance testing, which is required on 100 percent of lots produced and will observe the Contractor in the packaging and shipment of the samples to the designated laboratory for testing. The QAR will perform the evaluation and accept or reject the samples. Upon acceptance, the QAR is authorized to notify the contractor and send copies of the report to the PVP Office and the PCO. The Contractor shall not delay shipment of the supplies pending receipt of PVT results unless specifically directed to do so by the QAR or Contracting Officer. The Government reserves the right to hold acceptance until after receipt of the PVT results.

Alternate II When acquiring Heat and Die Number requirements, use the following paragraphs (c) (1) and (c) (2) in addition to paragraph (c) in the basic clause.

(c) (This paragraph applies only when "HEAT NUMBER" or "DIE NUMBER" requirements are in the contract description or specifications. It shall take precedence over any provisions of this contract or of this PVT clause which are inconsistent herewith.)

(1) If the contract description or specifications require that the supplies be identified by "HEAT NUMBER" or "DIE NUMBER", the selection of samples on a random basis in accordance with paragraph (c) above shall be from each "HEAT" or "DIE NUMBER" lot which is included in the production lot or contract lot tendered for acceptance.

(2) Subparagraph (h)(2) above is modified to provide that, if the PVT reveals nonconformities in the chemical or mechanical properties of the samples tested, the nonconformities shall be cause for rejection of the entire "HEAT" or "DIE NUMBER" lot included in the production or contract lot. Any "HEAT" or "DIE NUMBER" lot that is rejected may not be re-tendered for Government inspection and acceptance.

Alternate III When acquiring Instrument Bearings, use paragraphs (a) and (c) in addition to the basic clause and paragraph (b) in lieu of paragraph (c) in the basic clause.

(a) When PVT is a requirement, the Contractor shall notify the PCO and the QAR in writing at least 30 calendar days before anticipated completion of manufacture of the contract quantity or first manufacturing lot. This is to allow for sufficient time for scheduling and PCO coordination with the Government test facility.

(b) In the event that the Government test activity performs destructive testing on any of the PVT samples, the Contractor shall receive the full contract unit price for that sample or samples as long as the testing found that sample or samples to be in conformance with technical requirements. PVT samples determined to be conforming and not destroyed or degraded in testing shall be returned, by the Government test activity, to the contractor at Government expense. The Contractor shall examine the returned PVT samples, refurbish as necessary, and may include them in the production quantity if found to be unharmed by the PVT.

(c) The PCO may waive the requirement for PVT where supplies being offered are identical to supplies that were accepted by the Government within a period of two years prior to the date of current solicitation. Offerors offering such products, who wish to rely on such prior acceptance by the Government, must furnish evidence with the offer that prior Government acceptance is presently appropriate for the products to be furnished hereunder by indicating below the information for identical supplies accepted by the Government.

(End of Clause)

52.246-9024 Alternative Inspection Requirements for Selected Items

As prescribed in 46.202-3(92) insert the following clause:

ALTERNATIVE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR SELECTED ITEMS

(APR 2008 SUBSISTENCE) – DLAD

(a) Optional Contractor Testing of Contractor-Furnished Materials.

To expedite shipment, the Contractor has the option to perform, or have performed by an independent laboratory, contractually-required tests of end items or component material not specified by the U.S. Standards of Grade. The inspector for the Government agency having jurisdiction over ascertaining compliance may permit shipment, provided all other requirements of the contract are met. The designated Government inspector will select random samples of each lot of end items or component material for verification testing until the Contractor’s testing system is determined reliable in accordance with paragraph (c) of this clause. It is the intent of the Government to rely on Contractor test results to the maximum extent practicable and minimize Government verification testing.

(b) Compliance of Product.

Acceptance of material as complying with required characteristics shall be based on the Contractor’s test results; provided that Government verification indicates the Contractor’s testing system is reliable, in accordance with paragraph (c) of this clause, as to each of the required characteristics. If the Contractor’s test system is determined to be unreliable, product compliance will be determined based solely on Government test results. In the event the Government detects any irregularities in the Contractor’s testing system, the designated Government inspector may withhold approval until Government test results indicate products conform to contract requirements. (For Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) items, if Government laboratory test results show that product is nonconforming, the product shall be withheld from final assembly and subject to return and replacement by the component Contractor, even if previously approved by the Government inspector.)

(c) Reliability Conditions.

(1) To be considered reliable, the Contractor’s testing system shall produce results comparable to the Government test results; unless the Government agency having jurisdiction has inspected the item produced at the Contractor’s plant within the previous 120 days. Unless otherwise specified in this contract, the Government inspector will select samples randomly from the first three lots of end items presented for inspection and will conduct verification testing on a skip-lot basis. Skip-lot verification is done by random selection of samples from not less than one lot in six consecutive lots presented for inspection. The sampling procedure under skip-lot places the succeeding lots not chosen for inspection back into the universe available for subsequent inspection. (For instance, starting with a group of six lots (i.e., 1-6), one lot is randomly selected for inspection. If lot 4 is selected, the next samples will be selected from lots 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. If lot 8 is selected, the next samples will be selected from lots 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14; and so on.)

(2) Contractor’s testing system shall be considered unreliable when (i) the Government verification results indicate product nonconformance to contract requirements; and (ii) a significant disparity exists between Government laboratory results and Contractor test results. When a Contractor’s testing system is determined to be unreliable, compliance testing will revert to the Government, and all items shall be inspected by the Government prior to shipment.

(3) Contractor’s testing system will be considered doubtful when (i) a significant disparity exists between Government laboratory results and Contractor test results; (ii) the Government test results indicate significantly poorer quality than the Contractor’s; and (iii) the Government laboratory test results do not indicate product nonconformance to a statistically significant degree. When the Contractor’s testing system is considered doubtful, verification testing will be performed on each lot produced; however, the Government will continue to permit the Contractor to ship based on its own test results.

(4) Contractor testing system reliability will be determined by applying recognized statistical tests to the Contractor’s and Government’s test results. These determinations shall be accomplished by the Defense Supply Center Philadelphia, Directorate of Subsistence, Product Services Office, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5092.

(5) The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of any change in reliability status. Notification will include details of the statistical determinations and test results used in reliability studies. Telephonic notification and copies of these determinations will be provided to the Government by DSCP-FTRE.

(d) Procedures.

When the Contractor elects to perform testing, the following shall apply:

(1) Reporting of Contractor’s Results. Test reports for each lot of end item and components shall be submitted in the format contained in this clause by the Contractor in an original and one copy to the designated Government inspector. The inspector will forward one completed copy to DSCP-FTRE.

(2) Verification Actions. The Government will perform verification testing for food items and component material required by the contract to assure that the Contractor’s testing results are reliable. Verification samples will be accompanied by a DD Form 1222, Request for and Results of Tests. The Government laboratory that performs the tests will provide copies of the test results to the Government inspector and to DSCP-FTRE. The Government laboratory will telephone the results to DSCP-HS (215-737-4259) when testing identifies nonconformance. The Government reserves the right to (i) increase the rate or amount of verification testing up to and including full lot-by-lot testing, in the event the Contractor does not furnish reliable test results or certificates; or (ii) obtain additional data when significant disparities exist between the Contractor’s results and the results of the Government laboratory testing. When any element of the Contractor testing system is determined unreliable, the Government may consider the testing system as a whole unreliable and return to full lot-by-lot verification for every test. Testing by the Government will continue until such time as the Contractor’s reliability is again established.

(3) Standby Test Samples. The Government reserves the right to withdraw and hold standby test samples of component or finished product or both (the quantity of which shall be the next larger available sample size required for unit testing and the same sample size required for composite testing) for inspection purposes. Unused samples will be returned to the Contractor.

(e) Charges Applicable to Unreliable Test Status.

The prime Contractor shall be charged the costs of lot-by-lot inspection during the period that its testing system is considered unreliable. These charges will be processed and approved by the Contracting Officer.

(a) When origin inspection is performed by the U.S. Department of Agriculture or U.S. Department of Commerce and supplies are found to be nonconforming at origin, the Contractor may request USDA/USDC reinspection/formal review in accordance with the regulations of the respective agency. In such instances, the next larger available sample size will be used. The decision of the USDA/USDC representative as to conformance or nonconformance shall be final. It will be within the discretion of USDA/USDC whether to assess reinspection costs against the contractor.

(b) When origin inspection is performed by the USDA or USDC and supplies are found to be nonconforming at destination, the Contractor may petition the Contracting Officer to obtain permission for a single reinspection, provided such petition provides valid technical reasons to believe the destination inspection findings were erroneous. The reinspection shall be performed in accordance with the original destination inspection criteria unless otherwise specified by the Contracting Officer.

(1) Reinspection of nonconforming supplies for grading factors, suspicion of fraud or substitution shall be conducted by the applicable origin inspection agency (USDA for meats and poultry, or USDC for waterfoods). All costs associated with USDA/USDC reinspection shall be borne by the Contractor; unless the reinspection results establish compliance with contractual requirements, in which case costs shall be borne by the Government.

(2) Reinspection for all other criteria shall be accomplished by the Military Medical/Veterinary Services, as coordinated by the Contracting Officer with the applicable Military Medical/Veterinary Service Headquarters. The Military Medical/Veterinary Service Headquarters will designate the activity assigned to perform the reinspection and advise the Contracting Officer and the designated activity of the reinspection schedule. Reinspection shall be performed by personnel other than those involved in the original destination inspection. Reinspection costs shall be borne by the Contractor when reinspection results substantiate the nonconformance. The Government shall bear the costs of reinspection if the products are determined to be in compliance with contractual requirements.

(c) When inspection by the USDA or USDC is not a contract requirement and supplies are found nonconforming at destination, the Contractor may petition the Contracting Officer one time only to obtain permission for a single reinspection, provided such petition provides valid technical reasons to believe the original inspection findings were erroneous. If the Contracting Officer authorizes a reinspection, the reinspection results shall be final if they differ from the original inspection to such a statistically significant degree that error in the original results is probable. Otherwise, the original inspection results shall prevail. The reinspection/formal review shall be performed in accordance with the original inspection criteria, unless otherwise specified. All costs associated with the reinspection shall be borne by the Contractor; unless the reinspection results establish compliance with the contract requirements, in which case costs shall be assumed by the Government. Reinspection shall not be authorized when original inspection findings show that the supplies are unwholesome or contain a deleterious substance.

(d) The Contractor may elect to petition the Contracting Officer to grant a waiver of those contract requirements for which supplies have been found nonconforming and accept the supplies “as is” with appropriate price consideration. However, if the Contractor intends to exercise any option under (a), (b) or (c) above, the Contractor must do so prior to requesting a waiver. The denial of a waiver by the Contracting Officer will result in final rejection of the nonconforming supplies without recourse to reinspection.

(4) All implied warranties of merchantability and "fitness for a particular purpose" are excluded from any obligation contained in this contract.

(c) Remedies Available to the Government.

(1) Notice Requirement: The contracting officer shall give notice to the contractor of any breach of warranties in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause within 13 months from receipt of supplies at destination or, in the case of supplies required to bear an expiration date, no later than one month following the expiration date indicated in the labeling thereof.

(b) Prices offered must be unit prices. Each unit price offered must represent the full and complete price for the described unit of supply, inclusive of preservation, packaging, packing, set up and such other processing as may be required by this solicitation. FAILURE TO OFFER UNIT PRICES ON ALL QUANTITY INCREMENTS OF AN ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS STATED ABOVE WILL RESULT IN THE REJECTION OF THE OFFER FOR THAT ITEM.
