Yes ( ) or No ( ) ALL OFFERS, BOTH TECHNICAL AND BUSINESS PROPOSALS (INCLUDING ALL ELECTRONIC FILES), ARE TO BE MARKED WITH “CUI - SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION - SEE FAR 2.101 & 3.104" Blocks 19-24 DLA Troop Support is seeking proposals for Commercial Off The Shelf - Shelter Systems meeting the criteria outlined in the “Statement of Work” in Section C of this solicitation. The Government intends to establish multiple Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity Type Contracts. The intent is to award a contract to all firms that offer Modified Soft Shelter Systems and associated components, whose products meet the SOW, whose prices have been determined fair and reasonable, and who have met all other solicitation requirements. The term of the contracts will be for four (4) years ordering period and will allow for pricing under each 12-months period or tier. Offeror acceptance of each of the four (4) 12-month periods is mandatory, and a unit price is to be provided for each period. MINIMUM/MAXIMUM ON DELIVERY ORDERS - The guaranteed minimum dollar value of each contract issued as a result of this solicitation will be $25,000.00. The cumulative dollar value of all orders placed on all contracts issued as a result of this solicitation will not exceed $800,000,000.00. - Offers are being solicited for entire product lines. As a result, the Government cannot offer a per item minimum delivery order guarantee since some of the items in the system may be more desirable than others. Because the required items are commercial, it is understood that the components and items of the product lines offered are readily available for delivery. The Government will not place orders for quantities that exceed the monthly production abilities stated by the successful awardee(s) in their proposals. If necessary, these limitations may be negotiated during discussions. The delivery time for all orders placed is established at 60 days after issuance of orders for shelters, frames and components. It is established as 90 days after issuance of orders for trailers. Acceleration of deliveries will be permitted at no additional cost to the Government. - After award of contracts under this program, delivery orders will be competed as “Brand Name or Equal.” DLA will issue a Request For Quote (RFQ) to awarded Suppliers for each requirement received by the Customer. The solicited item will contain salient characteristics for which an alternate offer may be submitted by a competing contract holder. Awarded suppliers can choose to respond with a quote, or no-quote. The awardee will be the technically acceptable and lowest evaluated price offer. Prior to issuing Request For Quotations (RFQs), the Contracting Officer will determine if the requirement meets the conditions to be set aside for Small Business, if so that requirement will be set- aside. - At the time contracts from this solicitation are awarded, there will still be existing Commercial off the Shelf (COTS) shelter system contracts awarded under Solicitation SPE1C1-18-R-0003. Competition for delivery orders under contracts awarded under this solicitation will include vendors that hold contracts awarded under Solicitation SPE1C1-18-R-0003. - The Government will order supplies by issuing delivery orders during each time period specified in clause 252.216-7006 “Ordering (MAY 2011)” DFARS.

OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 8 OF 56 PAGES CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE SPE1C1-22-R-0069 SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES OR COSTS (CONTINUED) Please note: Vendors under contract with DLA Troop Support Clothing & Textiles are able to use a web-based application called VIM, or Virtual Item Manager (https://vim.dla.mil). VIM allows manufacturers to generate and transmit contract documents such as Delivery Orders (DD1155s) and Material Inspection and Receiving Reports (DD250s). Previously, vendors registered using a user ID and password; however, soon all vendors must use an External Certificate Authority (ECA) certificate to access VIM. Please see below for more information. Why is VIM requiring access via ECA certificate? DoDI 8520.2 Mandates the use of DoD PKI identity certificates when accessing DoD information systems. The DoD established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DoD approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. ECA certificates enable contractors to securely communicate with the DoD and authenticate themselves to DoD Information Systems. What are ECA Certificates? ECA Certificates are individually issued digital identity credentials. The DoD relies upon these credentials to ensure the identity of the user in online environments or when a certificate holder tries accessing DoD Information Systems. ECA Certificates are stored either on hardware devices (smart cards or USB devices) or software versions (stored on your computer's hard drive). You will use your certificate to: A) Establish your identity when trying to access a protected site B) Legally "sign" a document, form or application C) Encrypt messages (email) or documents to ensure confidentiality much like a driver's license or a passport, they are unique to each individual, and cannot be shared. It is against DoD Regulations to share a username and password or allow someone to access another's ECA certificate for any reason. Violation of this policy will result in the immediate revocation of the original owner's certificate. How can I obtain an ECA Certificate? The following are the three entities authorized by the DoD to issue ECA Certificates. Review and apply for an ECA Certificate from one of the below organizations to access your VIM account: A) IdenTrust: http://www.identrust.com/certificates/eca/index.html B) ORC (Operational Research Consultants): http://eca.orc.com/ C) VeriSign: https://eca.verisign.com/ I have an ECA Certificate, how do I access VIM now? Simply log into VIM with your existing User ID and Password as usual and then follow the steps: A) Under Menu, click the “Certificate Registration” option B) Read the brief instruction and then click “Continue” C) Your certificate will display in a pop-up. Select the certificate and click “Continue” D) You will be prompted to enter your current password for confirmation and click “OK” E) The message displays “Your Certificate has been successfully registered…” Click “OK” to complete the process. You will be logged out of VIM and prompted to login with your certificate. F) Click “Accept” to the Terms and then select “Certificate Login”. G) Your certificate will display in a pop-up. Select the certificate and click “OK” and you will be logged into your VIM account. Remember, your old login credentials will no longer be valid, and you will use your certificate to login into VIM.

Closing or cutoff dates applicable to the certified cost or pricing data required by paragraphs (c)(1) or (e) of this provision should be included as part of the data submitted with the proposal and, before agreement on price, data should be updated by the contractor to the latest closing or cutoff dates for which the data are available. Use of cutoff dates coinciding with reports is acceptable, as certain data may not be reasonably available before normal periodic closing dates (e.g., actual indirect costs). Data within the Offeror's or a subcontractor's organization on matters significant to contractor management and to the Government will be treated as reasonably available, if that data was required to be submitted by paragraph (c) (1) or (e) of this provision. What is significant depends upon the circumstances of each acquisition. (iv) Possession of a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data is not a substitute for examining and analyzing the Offeror's proposal. (v) If certified cost or pricing data are requested by the Government and submitted by the Offeror, but an exception is later found to apply, the data shall not be considered certified cost or pricing data and shall not be certified in accordance with this subsection. (3) The Offeror is responsible for determining whether a subcontractor qualifies for an exception from the requirement for submission of certified cost or pricing data on the basis of adequate price competition, i.e., two or more responsible offerors, competing independently, submit priced offers that satisfy the Government's expressed requirement in accordance with FAR 15.403-1(c)(1). (d) Requirements for data other than certified cost or pricing data. (1) Data other than certified cost or pricing data submitted in accordance with this provision shall include all data necessary to permit a determination that the proposed price is fair and reasonable, to include the requirements in DFARS 215.402(a)(i) and 215.404-1(b). (2) In cases in which uncertified cost data is required, the information shall be provided in the form in which it is regularly maintained by the Offeror or prospective subcontractor in its business operations. (3) The Offeror shall provide information described as follows: [Insert description of the data and the format that are required, including access to records necessary to permit an adequate evaluation of the proposed price in accordance with FAR 15.403-3]. (4) Within 10 days of a written request from the Contracting Officer for additional information to support proposal analysis, the Offeror shall provide either the requested information, or a written explanation for the inability to fully comply. (5) Subcontract price evaluation. (i) The Offeror shall obtain from subcontractors the minimum information necessary to support a determination of price reasonableness, as described in FAR part 15 and DFARS part 215. (ii) No cost information may be required from a prospective subcontractor in any case in which there are sufficient non-Government sales of the same item to establish reasonableness of price. (iii) If the Offeror relies on relevant sales data for similar items to determine the price is reasonable, the Offeror shall obtain only that technical information necessary -- (A) To support the conclusion that items are technically similar; and (B) To explain any technical differences that account for variances between the proposed prices and the sales data presented, but excluding paragraph (c), in all subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold defined in FAR part 2. (e) Subcontracts. (1) For subcontracts above the threshold for submission of certified cost or pricing data in FAR 15.403-4 to which the authority of the Section 890 pilot has been flowed down, in lieu of the requirements in paragraphs (a) and (b) of the clause at 52.215-12, Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data, of this solicitation, the Offeror shall require the subcontractor to submit a subset of cost or pricing data (actually or by specific identification in writing) as follows: (i)(A) [Contracting Officer shall add paragraphs as necessary to identify each first-tier subcontract to which the authority of the Section 890 pilot has been flowed down, and the specific certified cost or pricing data required for each subcontract. Contracting Officer shall list the specific cost or pricing data deemed necessary to determine that the price is fair and reasonable for each subcontract, and describe the required submission format for each type of data. The type and extent of data required may differ based on the dollar value of the subcontract proposal, or other appropriate considerations. At a minimum, the Contracting Officer shall identify the specific prior subcontracts awarded in support of the DoD purchases of the same or similar products for which the subcontractor is required to submit the actual cost of performance. The Contracting Officer shall specify whether the authority of the Section 890 pilot is further flowed down to any lower-tier subcontract pertaining to each first-tier subcontract.

The subcontractor and lower tier subcontractors to which the pilot authority is flowed down are not required to submit certified cost or pricing data that is not listed within this provision. If the Contracting Officer finds that additional certified cost or pricing data are needed in order to determine that the price is fair and reasonable, the Contracting Officer shall issue an amendment to the solicitation, revising this paragraph as needed to require the submission of the additional data.] (ii) In the event a subcontractor denies the Offeror access to the data described in paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this provision, the data may be provided directly to the Contracting Officer. (iii) If a subcontractor is unable to provide the extent of historical actual cost experience required by paragraph (e)(1)(i), then the Offeror shall require the subcontractor to provide certified cost or pricing data in accordance with paragraph (e)(2) of this clause. (iv) The Offeror shall require the subcontractor to certify in substantially the form prescribed in paragraph (c)(2) of this provision that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the data submitted under paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this provision were accurate, complete, and current as of the date of agreement on the negotiated price of the subcontract. (2) For subcontracts above the threshold for submission of certified cost or pricing data in FAR 15.403-4 to which the authority of the Section 890 pilot has not been flowed down, the Offeror shall require the subcontractor to provide certified cost or pricing data in accordance with the clause at 52.215-12, Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data, of this solicitation and shall require the subcontractor to certify in substantially the form prescribed in FAR 15.406-2 that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the data submitted under paragraph (a) of the clause at 52.215-12 were accurate, complete, and current as of the date of agreement on the negotiated price of the subcontract.
