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. First Article Test (FAT) - may be required, and when applicable, the requirement will be documented at the CLIN level and priced separately. 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. Proposals receiving a technical rating of �Unacceptable� will be ineligible for award. Price. 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. Product Quality Deficiency Report (PDQR) - The Product Quality Deficiency Report Program (Army Regulation 702-7) will be used when contractors: 1) deliver deficient items or 2) receive deficient items from a DoD supply chain in support of Army requirements. When requested, the Contractor shall assist the cognizant Contract Administration Office in evaluating PQDRs and exhibits for defects reported on items manufactured under this contract to determine the root cause for deficiencies.

These defects may be reported from any DoD activity that discovers a defective item. Superseded Parts - The government anticipates prior to proposal submittal, the offeror (based on IBAS 1.0 and IBAS 2.8 iterations, engineering changes, manufacturing enhancements, obsolescence challenges, technical data, and industry feedback) will identify obsolete parts, and/or current configurations. The government reserves the right to amend the solicitation to reflect these changes to existing solicited parts.

There shall be no downward adjustment to an already awarded delivery order regardless of if another delivery order is awarded in the same ordering period. Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) � Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) shall be proposed by the sole source contractor to ensure optimal ordering quantities. The EOQ information requested will assist the Government to avoid disadvantages of quantities and to develop data for the current and future acquisitions. The Government anticipates the offeror�s proposal (in view of market research, historical awards, the nature of the items, and the current economic environment) will include quantities/ ranges that will vary from those being solicited.
