Additional Considerations

Containers - The Government did not provide separate Subcontract Line Item Numbers (SLINs) to accommodate items that may require reusable shipping containers. 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.

When required, the FAT report shall be submitted in English. 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. FAT is not restricted to a specific ordering period and may be implemented with any order during the duration of the contract at the discretion of the engineering source authority. Offeror may submit a request for waiver, although a waiver is not guaranteed.

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.

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.

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.
