- Description
- This solicitation is hereby extended to 2:00 p.m. EDT, Thursday, September 20, 2018. All clauses and provisions listed in the original solicitation are intact. The following questions were asked by a potential vendor on this solicitation. DLA's responses follow each question. Q1: Page 2, Item 0001AA indicates Supplies/Services "N00104-18-X-8126." Is this alphanumeric the anticipated contract number? A: N00104-18-X-8126 is the Purchase Requirement (PR) number. It is for internal tracking purposes only. Q2: Page 2, Item 0001AA, quantity 2 shipped to DoDAAC W25G1U (Defense Distribution Depot Susquehanna, PA). Is this a place holder for future shipments or is it the bid lot shipment which would be shipped to NRL? A: Material will be shipped to the Navy Research Lab (NRL) for Bid Sample Testing. However, NRL does not have a shippable DoDAAC. DLA Susquehanna (W25G1U) is listed as the default location due to the limitations in the local contract writing system. Q3: Page 2A, Section A, Paragraph 6 indicates Contract Minimum of $56,250, Contract Maximum $4,218,750. What are the annual quantities and at what price that are assumed to derive these two amounts? A: The estimated annual demand quantity can be found in the pricing spreadsheet on page 2B. However, the resultant contract will be an indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contract therefore the only guaranteed amount for the duration of the contract is the minimum contract amount located on Page 2A, Section A. Q4: Page 2A, Section A, Paragraph 8 states that the First Article Test: FAT units (2 each) may be required. Is the FAT the same as the Production Lot Test? If so, elsewhere in the solicitation it indicates that the Production Lot Test is required. A: First Article Testing (FAT) takes place after award. If a previously approved vendor is awarded a new contract and the item description is unchanged, FAT may be waived at the discretion of NRL, since the material is already approved. If a new item or new specification is solicited, or a new vendor is awarded a contract, FAT is required. Product Lot Testing (PLT) is considered separate from FAT, to ensure the labeling and manuals used by the awardee are to the standard requested by NRL. The details of the PLT are discussed with the successful vendor after award, during a post award conference with the vendor, NRL, and the Contract Specialist. This post award conference is typically done via conference call. Q5: Page 11, Section F, Desired Delivery Schedule indicates item 0001, quantity 1, desired delivery within 120 days after date of contract. On page 2 item 0001 includes items 0001AA, 0001AB and 0001AC. These latter items are quantity two units for DoDAAC W25G1U, 1 lot DD 1423 (SCDRLs) and 1 Lot (presumably quantity 2) Production Lot Test units. Does that mean four units plus the SDRLS are to be delivered 120 days after contract? A: PLT (30 days) and FAT (45 days) requirements have different delivery schedules. For this solicitation, the Navy's desired delivery date for individual delivery orders is 120 days after receipt of order (ARO). Vendors may propose an earlier or later schedule as their production facility allows, or an alternate schedule based on the quantity ordered. e.g. 120 days per each 100 units ordered. Meaning a 200 unit order would carry a 240 day lead time; the first 100 units would ship in 120 days, with the second 100 units shipping 120 days after that. Q6: Page 30, Section I, First Article Testing indicates that the Contractor shall delivery 2 units of Item 0001 within 45 days from date of this contract to NRL. Please clarify in light of questions 4, 5 and 6 above. A: See Question 5 directly above. Q7: Page 30, Section I, First Article Testing, paragraph i indicates that the Government may waive the requirement for first article approval test where supplies are identical or similar to those called for in the schedule have been previously furnished by the Contractor and have been accepted by the Government. Can NSN 6625016338373 approved by NRL under contract N00104-15-DD002 be used to waive first article testing for this new solicitation? A: A waiver request must be submitted to the Contract Specialist after review of the Technical Proposal has been completed and deemed acceptable by NRL, prior to contract award. The request will be reviewed by NRL for final determination. Q8: Pages 40-56, Section K, do the Representations and Certifications need to be completed for the initial technical proposal due on [September 10]? A: Instructions are contained in FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items (November 2017) is Section K of the Solicitation. Q9: Page 59B, Bid Sample Test (BST), states that "Contractors will be notified by the PCO whether BST units are required or if BST has been waived by the NRL. BST units shall be provided to NRL within 30 days after notification of acceptance of the submitted technical proposal." Does this mean that DLA will notify the offerer whether BST units are required only after acceptance of his technical proposal? Given the short, 30 day delivery requirement, would it not be more helpful to the contractors without harming the Government's interest to let bidders know whether BST units will be required prior to acceptance (or non-acceptance) of the technical proposal so they may be prepared? This would be at the contractor's sole risk? A: The 30-day timeframe is our office standard for this step. If a vendor requires more time for delivery, an extension request may be sent to Contracting Officer, as long as the request is submitted prior to the initial delivery date specified. This extension would apply to all interested vendors. Q10: Page 59B, Request for Price Proposals. How many days after a technical proposal is deemed acceptable is a price proposal due? Are the number of days affected by whether the Government requests BST units? A: NRL submits their review(s) of the technical proposal(s) to the Contracting Officer upon completion. The Contracting Officer then forwards these results to the vendor(s). Vendors deemed unacceptable at this phase are removed from consideration. Vendors deemed acceptable at this phase are given 30 days to submit their pricing to the Contracting Officer. An extension may be granted, if requested before the established due date. This extension would apply for all vendors deemed acceptable. Q11: Page 59B, I. General, Price Proposal. Even though it is not required with the Technical Proposal, please clarify the following question regarding the price proposal. Using Attachment #2, Pricing Evaluation Matrix, as the example, if the Government were to place delivery orders of quantity 5 every month for a total of 60 units during the first 12 months, would each order be placed at $1000 (in the example) or would the first five ordered in month 1 be at $1000 and then the five ordered in the second month be at $999 and so on. A: The quantity range price applicable to a delivery order is based on the quantity of that single delivery order. So using the pricing matrix on page 59B as an example, every delivery order for a quantity of 5 ordered during base year 1 would contain a total price of $5000. E.g. DO0001 issued on January 1 for 5 units x $1000EA = $5000.00. DO0002 issued on January 10 for 5 units x $1000EA = $5000.00. If D00003 was issued on January 20 for 16 units the price would be 16 x $998.00 = $15968.00 for DO0003. Then, if D0004 was issued on January 30 for 5 units the price would be 5 x $1000.00 = $5000.
