The determination to exercise the option years will be at the discretion of the U.S. Government. The total contract period will not exceed 5 years. Based on market research this item is manufactured for military use only and is not commercial; therefore, the Government is NOT using the policies contained in FAR Part 12 in its solicitation for this item.

This solicitation will be available on the Internet at http://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/rfp after the approximate issue date of 02/08/2016. Hard copies of this solicitation will not be available. There are no technical drawings/bid sets available. This solicitation is NOT set-aside for small business. While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final award decision will be based upon a combination of price, past performance, offered delivery, socioeconomic, AbilityOne and SURGE Support. All offers shall be in the English language and in US dollars. All interested suppliers may submit an offer. The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. During the course of the on-line auction, offerors' proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offerors and anyone else having access to the on-line auction. This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offerors (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed pricing (e.g. "Offeror A"). By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the Reverse Auction and that their prices may be publicly disclosed, including to other offerors, during the Reverse Auction. An offeror's final auction price will be considered its final proposal revision.
