It is now the responsibility of the Contractor to purchase the material listed above from DLA Troop Support as needed. The Government shall be the sole source of the supply of the materials listed above and only such material obtained from the Government under the contract may be used in the performance of the contract.

The material will be priced at the current DLA Troop Support contract price for the material being purchased with an additional 2% inflation added on for each option year. The material price will be listed in the solicitation and the Contractor is required to submit pricing inclusive of the material price (Cut, make, & Trim (CMT) + Material Price*).

The Contractor can purchase any amount of cloth desired that does not exceed 2% of the total yardage required to produce the item based on the Government BOM (which will be stated in the solicitation). In order not to affect planning and the purchase of cloth by the Government, unlimited quantities of cloth cannot be sold to the Contractor. In the event that the Contractor would like material in excessive quantities, defined as purchasing more than 2% of the total unit allowance determined by the Government BOM for that delivery order, the Contractor may submit a request for the excess material. Depending on fabric inventory levels, the Contracting Officer may, at his or her discretion, approve the request for some or all of the excessive quantities.

The resultant award will be an Indefinite Delivery Type Contract with a twelve (12) month base term and four- twelve (12) month option terms; each with a minimum quantity of 26,127. Under the initial delivery order there will be three (3) monthly deliveries that will be required starting 120 days after the date of award with 90 days for subsequent delivery orders. The delivery destination for these items is Peckham Vocational Industries Inc., Lansing, MI 48906 and Great Lakes Naval Station in Great Lakes IL. Best Value Source Selection criteria will be used for award evaluation purposes in accordance with FAR 15.101-1. For award evaluation purposes technical merit is more important than price. Evaluation Aspects for award are Product Demonstration Models (PDM) and Past Performance. All items must be 100% U.S. Made out of 100% U.S. Materials.

For award evaluation purposes the PDM aspect is a threshold requirement and will be evaluated for conformance to the specification and for the presence of one or more MAJOR DEFECTS. Offerors with an acceptable PDM rating will be evaluated under the evaluation aspect of Past Performance Performance Confidence Assessment. The best value trade-off will be based on Past Performance and Price, with Past Performance being significantly more important than price. Offerors will be required to submit one (1) PDMs, for the Man's size 40R, and a history of their experience/ past performance record from the period one year prior to the solicitation closing date.
