However, if an item requires a reusable shipping container, a SLIN may be added to allow the offeror to price the item with a shipping container. The offeror shall propose the most expeditious delivery schedule for each item.First Article Test (FAT) may be required. The requirement will be included on the applicable delivery orders. FAT must be separately priced. The offeror may submit a Request for FAT Waiver; however, FAT shall be included on the award in anticipation of the requirement on future orders. Upon receipt of the FAT Waiver request, DLA will submit documentation to SRD for evaluation and technical consideration.Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) shall be proposed by the contract to ensure optimal ordering quantities. The EOQ information requested in this narrative, is being solicited to avoid acquisitions in disadvantageous quantities and to assist the Government in developing data for current and future acquisitions of this item. The Government reserves the right to amend, &/or cancel the solicitation and resolicit in the event information or requirements change.Evaluation Criteria - Minimum technical requirements. To be technically acceptable and thus, eligible for award, a proposal must conform to ALL solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements provided within all sections of this solicitation and/or within its attached addenda. Proposals receiving a technical rating of “Unacceptable” will be ineligible for award. Price. In addition to meeting the solicitation’s technical and quantity increment or range requirements above and cost and pricing requirements below, the Government will evaluate a proposal’s pricing for reasonableness. Evaluation of a proposal's pricing will not obligate the Government to order the estimated quantities or to distribute orders in the manner evaluated. The Government may reject a proposal as “Unacceptable” if its pricing is determined to be materially unbalanced. Cost and Pricing Data. Offerors must provide all cost or pricing information required by FAR 15.4. Failure of a proposal to provide cost or pricing information required by FAR 15.4 will result in said proposal being deemed Unacceptable, and thus, ineligible for award.PDQR - The Product Quality Deficiency Report Program (Army Regulation 702-7) will be used when contractors: 1) deliver deficient items or 2) receive deficient items from a DoD supply chain in support of Army requirements. When requested, the Contractor shall assist the cognizant Contract Administration Office in evaluating PQDRs and exhibits for defects reported on items manufactured under this contract to determine the root cause for deficiencies. Corrective action and Preventative Action to preclude recurrence of discrepancies shall be an integral part of the Contractor’s Quality Program. These defects may be reported from any DoD activity that discovers a defective item. Ranges - Offerors are requested for increments or ranges of quantities as listed in the attachment. The awarded quantity, or quantities in the case of multiple items, will be based on the requirements of the Government and the combination of price and quantity per item that is the most advantageous to the Government. Quantity increments consist of a primary amount and alternate amounts based on incremental increases. The quantity awarded will be either the full primary, or one of the alternate quantities. Quantity ranges consist of a specific series of ranges. The quantity awarded may fall anywhere within range. If this is a request for quote (RFQ) or a request for proposal (RFP), an offer that only contains prices for quantities other than those quantities indicated in the schedule of supplies or services may be precluded from consideration for award if the contracting officer elects to make an award without discussion of proposals.The contract quantity range shall be determined by the total quantity at the time of delivery awarded. There shall be no downward adjustment to an already awarded delivery order regardless of if another delivery order is awarded in the same ordering period. For example, one delivery order quantity may not be combined with any other delivery order quantity to create a price break, even if the new delivery order is placed in the same ordering period. Each order stands on its own. In the event an order is issued for quantities outside the ranges established in the contract, the unit price associated with the highest list range will apply to that order. The contractor has the right to accept or reject any quantity outside the ranges established in the contract and adjust the production lead time / monthly delivery rate as appropriate.Packaging – Standard practice for military packaging shall be utilized (MIL-STD-2073-1).Delivery Schedule – Proposal shall include proposed production lead time and monthly delivery rate.Proposal Submission – Proposal shall be electronically submitted to Government.
