AI Contract Overview
This procurement under solicitation SPE7L3-26-T-144V requires the delivery of three units of item 11610607 for first article testing within 180 calendar days of contract award to a designated government facility at Tinker Air Force Base. The government will conduct formal testing and issue written approval, conditional approval, or disapproval within 180 days of receiving the units; these first article samples will not count toward the total production quantity and will be retained by the government for potential use as a manufacturing standard or destroyed during testing. The contractor must deliver the full ordered quantity separately. Bidders are strongly encouraged to quote using quantity ranges due to fluctuating demand, though this flexibility does not extend to Auto IDC. Offers must not include covered telecommunications equipment or services as prohibited by FAR 52.204-24 and DFARS 252.204-7016. Compliance with domestic sourcing restrictions under the Berry Amendment and Buy American Act is mandatory, with thresholds lowered to $150,000; non-domestic material disclosures are required. Small business joint ventures must submit applicable certifications as outlined in FAR provisions. The vendor shipment module access is transitioning to DLA’s AMPS system, and contractors must register through AMPS to maintain shipping capabilities; schema updates are required for VSM WebServices users. Additive manufacturing is currently prohibited unless specifically approved by the contracting officer. The contract involves a single line item for 142 units with a 922-day delivery window, and all proposals must be submitted via DIBBS before the deadline. Offerors who cannot respond must file a “No Bid” notice to avoid assumptions of non-responsiveness.

Procurement Note E02: Supplemental First Article Exhibit Disposition Government Maintained (MAY 2020)
The first article units will be held by the Government, either destroyed in testing or maintained as a manufacturing standard. The contractor will be required to produce/deliver the full quantity indicated on the contract order, the first article units will not be part of the production quantity.
Due to the volatility of demands, and frequent quantity changes on open
purchase requests, offerors are highly encouraged to submit quantity
ranges when quoting. If a PR is evaluated manually, quoting ranges
provides the buyer the option to combine requirements or reduce the
quantity as needed without resoliciting or adding any additional
administrative burden for either party involved when making an award.
This does not apply to Auto IDC.

SECTION A
If you anticipate quoting on a solicitation after the closing date,
please submit a DIBBS quote with a bid type of “No Bid” and place an
anticipated quote date or the reason you are not willing to quote. This
does not prevent you from submitting an actual quote on DIBBS at a later
date. It will overlay your previous no quote. This informs buyers of
your intention to quote and prevents multiple calls for updates and
cancelling of requirements assumed to be non-procurable due to no
quotes/sources. The submission of an anticipated quote date does not
preclude DLA from making an award to another acceptable timely offer.
