The information provided herein is subject to change and in no way binds the Government to solicit for or award a contract. The following changes have been made to the posted draft solicitation. The price ranges may also be updated. Under Section B, B-3 Pricing Note has been updated; B-3 NOTE 1 Determination of Applicable Pricing Ranges (Revised 7/1/2014) (a) Because CLINs 0101/0102, 0201/0202, 0301/0302 and 0401/0402 contain the same fuze, to achieve economies of scale, the Government will combine the individual quantities of each pair of CLINs and the total quantity of both CLINs will be used to determine the pricing range under B-2 Pricing Ranges for both CLINs. For example, if the Government wanted to order 15,000 of CLIN 0101 and 3,000 of CLIN 0101, the individual quantities would be added (15,000 + 3,000 = 18,000) and the pricing range for 18,000 in Table 3 would be used for the unit price of 15,000 of CLIN 0101 and the pricing range of 18,000 in Table 4 would be used for the unit price of 3,000 CLIN 0102. (b) Additionally, the Government shall have the right to modify any delivery order(s) within 90 days of issuance (within each ordering period) to increase the quantity and revise the respective unit prices and total prices based on the combined quantity ordered. The revised unit prices and total price shall be based upon the prices set forth in the B-2 Pricing ranges for the total quantifies ordered as modified for each item ordered. For example, if 60 days after the award of the delivery order for the quantities in the prior paragraph, the Government wanted to add an additional 10,000 units of CLIN 0101, the new combined total would be 28,000 (15,000 + 3,000 + 10,000 = 28,000) and the pricing range for 28,000 in Table 3 would be used for the unit price of the 25,000 units of CLIN 0101 and the pricing range for 28,000 in Table 4 would be used for the unit price of the 3,000 units of CLIN 0102. Under Section H, the following has been added; H-1 Orders to Fulfill Foreign Military Sales Commitments (JUL 2014) (a) The Government may place orders for the items under this contract to fulfill foreign military sales commitments. (b) On the date the order is placed, the Government shall identify the foreign country for the purpose of negotiating any equitable adjustment attributable to foreign military sales. Failure to agree on an equitable adjustment shall be treated as a dispute under the Disputes clause of this contract.
