This contract modification pertains to solicitation SPM1C1-07-R-0019 for the procurement of cloth materials, specifically wool elastique and poly/wool tropical fabrics in Air Force Academy Blue shades 500 and 540. The modification updates the evaluation criteria by adding two additional factors: Socioeconomic considerations and the Javits-Wagner-O'Day (JWOD) Act Entity status. The evaluation factors for selecting a contractor will now be applied in a revised order of importance: Experience and Past Performance remain the most critical, followed by Socioeconomic factors, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Mentoring Business Agreement, and finally JWOD entity status. The solicitation was initially posted on April 20, 2007, under NAICS code 313311, which relates to textile mills. The contracting office is managed by a specialist named Nathalie C. Nguyen, who can be contacted via email or phone for further information. The solicitation appears to be at the presolicitation stage without any specified set-aside category, and the place of performance is not clearly defined in the data provided. This modification ensures that potential contractors will be evaluated in a way that balances past performance with important socioeconomic and regulatory compliance factors.
