The Support Equipment is required at the Organizational and Intermediate (O&I) Levels of Maintenance to support CV-22, MV-22 and CMV-22 site stand-ups. The items are to be provided in accordance with the Attachment 1 Technical Data Package (drawings), which will be provided by the Government upon request to qualified offerors. The minimum and maximum quantities that will be ordered over the life of the IDIQ are identified for each item in the columns above. The minimum quantities identified above will be on the initial delivery order which is intended to be awarded along with the basic IDIQ award. The minimum quantity that may be ordered on any subsequent delivery order is one (1) each for all items.

3. Offerors may submit proposals for either or both lots identified. The Government intends to award one or two five (5) year, Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contracts, for the twenty (20) PSE items. The Government reserves the right to award both lots as one IDIQ, or as two separate IDIQs. The minimum and maximum quantities to be ordered over the life of the contract(s) are identified in the tables above for each item. Intent is to issue a Delivery Order for the minimum quantities at the time of IDIQ award. Additional quantities may be ordered from time to time as required by the Government.

4. This requirement is a 100% Small Business Set-Aside. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 336413. This requirement is being conducted using Full and Open Competition After Exclusion of Sources procedures per FAR 6.203. Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable responsible offeror, with acceptable Past Performance. The Government anticipates awarding this contract without discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. All proposals will be evaluated for compliance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in this solicitation and detailed in Sections L and M below.

5. The Attachment 1 Technical Data Package (drawings) for this procurement contain export-controlled technical data, subject to disclosure restrictions. All requesting offerors must have a current certified DD2345 to obtain the drawings. They will be mailed on a CD to your designated data custodian on your certified DD2345. All Offerors, other than the successful Offeror, are required to destroy all export control data, regardless of form or the media on which it may be recorded, including CDs, data stored on other computer storage devices and paper documents. Offerors shall provide proof of such destruction via signed letter on corporate letterhead to the PCO at the above listed address. The drawings shall be handled in accordance with clauses 252.204-7012, 252.225-7048, 5252.227-9507 and 5252.227-9508.

6. Note that certain CLINs are subject to the Buy American Act, Trade Agreements, and/or restrictions on the acquisition of hand/measuring tools (Berry Act), as identified in the relevant clauses below.

7. Technical Acceptability, Past Performance and Price are the factors that will be evaluated in order to determine whose offer is the most advantageous to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible offeror with acceptable Past Performance who provides the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer (as detailed in Sections L and M below). All responsible Small Businesses may submit a proposal for evaluation. The Government anticipates awarding this contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

8. Technical Evaluation: Offeror's technical proposals will be required to include sufficient information to satisfy evidence of technical acceptability, by meeting the required standards described in Sections L and M. Acceptability is rated on a "pass/fail" basis. For each criteria evaluated, "Acceptable" is defined as demonstrating that the offeror's proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of that particular evaluated criteria. "Unacceptable" is defined as meaning that the proposal does not clearly demonstrate that the proposal meets the minimum requirements of that evaluated criteria. An overall rating of "Technically Acceptable" will require that offeror's proposal receive a rating of "acceptable" in all of the listed criteria. Technical acceptability will require that the offeror has provided sufficiently detailed information to clearly demonstrate that their proposal satisfies each specified requirement. The Offeror has the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance with all of the evaluation factors identified. In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. The Offeror should present enough information to allow the Government to evaluate the offeror's capability to meet the required technical criteria. Failure to address a specific evaluation factor clearly will likely render an offer unacceptable.

9. Price Evaluation: Since this will be an indefinite quantity type contract, "lowest priced offer" shall be determined as follows: Each proposal must include a unit price for each of the line items (CLINs) identified in the lot for which the proposal is being submitted. (Offerors may propose against either one of or both lots). Unit prices for each CLIN shall not vary based on quantity ordered or year when ordered. Total proposed price for evaluation purposes to determine the "lowest price offer" will be the sum of each estimated maximum line item (CLIN) quantity times the proposed unit price quote, for all line items (see table in Section M).

NOTE: There is no guarantee that the evaluated (maximum) quantities will be ordered. These quantities are for proposal price evaluation purposes. The minimum quantity that will be ordered over the life of the contract is identified for each item (for each Lot) in the tables in Paragraph 2 above. Proposed unit prices shall be valid for any quantity ordered, subject to the limitations specified herein.

10. All items shall be preserved, packaged, and marked in accordance with best commercial practices. Items shall be delivered to the Government in accordance with delivery information in Section F, though earlier delivery at no additional charge to the Government is acceptable and encouraged. FOB is Destination. Inspection and acceptance will be at Origin (by DCMA).

11. This is a total Small Business Set-Aside in accordance with FAR 19.5.

12. In accordance with DFARS 252.211-7003, all products with a unit price above $5,000 are required to be marked according to the criteria in MIL-STD-130, Identification Marking of US Military Property.
