Part III contains the clauses, provisions or notices that apply to automated solicitations and orders, and is organized into Subparts A through E.  Web links to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) and to each Center’s clause list are provided in Part III.  Clauses, provisions or notices are incorporated by reference when the full text is not provided, with the same force and effect as if set forth in full text, and made part of the solicitation or order as applicable.  Vendors are required to read the clauses, provisions and notices. Upon request, the full text of clauses, provisions and notices will be provided.      

 Subpart A contains the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), the Department of Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) clauses and provisions that are applicable to all solicitations and orders.  These clause and provisions are identified as “Mandatory”.  

Subpart B contains the FAR, DFARS, and DLAD clauses and provisions that apply to acquisitions based on certain conditions, and provides instructions for the vendor to read to determine when a particular clause or provisions applies to a solicitation or order. These clauses and provisions are identified as “Conditional”.  

Subpart C contains the “Mandatory” and “Conditional” clauses and provisions that apply to solicitations and orders issued by DLA Land and Maritime.    Instructions are provided for the vendor to read to determine when a particular “Conditional” clause or provisions applies to a solicitation or order.

Instructions are provided for the vendor to read to determine when a particular “Conditional” clause or provisions applies to a solicitation or order.  

Subpart E contains the “Mandatory” and “Conditional” clauses, provisions and notices that apply to solicitations and orders issued by DLA Aviation.    Instructions are provided for the vendor to read to determine when a particular “Conditional” clause, provision or notice applies to a solicitation or order.  

Automated solicitations will contain an identifier that associates the solicitation to one of the supply chains.  The identifiers for the activities are: SPM4 and SPM5A (DLA Aviation), SPM1, SPM2, SPM3, and SPM5 (with the exception of SPM5A) (DLA Troop Support), and SPM7 (DLA Land and Maritime).   Automated solicitations will also be identified by a “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the solicitation number.    

Questions regarding the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) should be-mailed to: dibbsBSM@dla.mil.  For immediate assistance, please refer to the frequently asked questions (FAQs) on DLA DIBBS at  https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/Refs/help/BSMDibbsHelp.htm or phone 1-877-352-2255.

**Provision 52.213-9007 provides the solicitation requirements for automated BSM acquisitions valued up to $100,000.  Provision 52.213-9008 provides the evaluation criteria for automated BSM acquisitions valued up to $100,000 and also explains how a quote is evaluated if the automated evaluation process cannot determine a price to be fair and reasonable or cannot make a contractor’s responsibility determination.  In such a case the quote will be manually reviewed.  Vendors should thoroughly review provision 52.213-9007 and provision 52.213-9008 prior to submitting a quote.**

**52.213-9007        	DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) Quoting Information for BSM Automated Solicitations (APR 2006) - DLAD**

(a) AUTOMATED SOLICITATIONS ON DIBBS: This provision applies to all BSM automated solicitations valued at or below $100,000, Requests for Quotations (RFQs) that are posted on DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).  These automated solicitations are identified by “SPM” in the first three positions if a solicitation number, and “T” or “U” in the ninth position of the solicitation number.   

(b) SUBMISSION OF AUTOMATED QUOTES: Automated quotes must be submitted electronically on DIBBS at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ prior to the solicitation return date and time for all Requests for Quotations (RFQs) posted on DIBBS.  Quotes received by other electronic means, even though within the FAR definition of “electronic commerce” or “electronic and information technology”, such as facsimile (fax), electronic mail (email) will not be considered for award.  Quotes received by U.S. Mail will not be considered for award.  

(c) RETURN DATE AND TIME: The time for receipt of quotes is 3:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time, or when applicable, Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the return date.  All return date/times are synchronized to the U.S. Naval Observatory Clock.  If a return date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday, the return date will be extended to the next business day.   Quote submission using EDI/DIBBS is subject to electronic interface latency which can result in transmission delays.  Offerors must consider transmission delays in the EDI/DIBBS system when submitting quotes for consideration, and assume the risk of late transmission/submission.  As an alternative, the direct entry of quote information into the DIBBS website is a method that precludes transmission delays, and will ensure the quote is evaluated.

RETURN DATE AND TIME AUCTION:  The solicitation return date/time is a firm closing date/time for auctions.  Late quotes will not be considered for award.

RETURN DATE AND TIME NON-AUCTION:  Awards will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time unless it is a FAST PACE or there is a documented urgency.  At the return date/time all quotes received will be evaluated, therefore, all quotes over the micropurchase threshold should be submitted by the return date/time specified in the solicitation.  Fast PACE solicitations, which are those solicitations estimated to be less than the micropurchase threshold, may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time when they are not auction solicitations.

PACE may extend the solicitation return date for three business days when prices from qualified quotes cannot be determined reasonable.  Notice of the extension will be provided by email to all vendors in the competitive range (bids without exception) inviting them to revise their quotes.  The notice will be sent to the email address registered on DIBBS for the person that submitted the quote.  If a third party submitted the quote, the notice will be sent to the email addresses of the third party and the superuser for the CAGE on whose behalf the quote is being submitted.  Vendors are responsible for the accuracy of email addresses in DIBBS and should ensure that they are correct.  Vendors that have submitted their best quoted price will not need to resubmit their quote.        

(d) HOW INTERRUPTIONS AFFECT RETURN TIME AND DATE:  If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts DIBBS processes so that quotes cannot be submitted on DIBBS at the close of a solicitation, the return date/time will be extended to the same time of day on the next business day on which DIBBS processes resume.  Notice of the extension will be provided on the DIBBS home page.  A vendor’s inability to submit a quote caused by failure of a vendor’s hardware, software, Internet Service Provider, or the World Wide Web itself, is not cause for extension of a solicitation.

(e) LATE QUOTES:  Quotes received after the return date/time for auction solicitations will not be considered.  

Quotes received after the return date/time for non-auction solicitations may continue to run through the automated evaluation process.  Once the evaluation process has begun, late quotes will only be considered if the contracting officer determines that it is in the best interest of the Government and that considering the late quote would not unduly delay the award.  See the provision at 52.213-9008 entitled Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation for information related to the automated evaluation process.

(f) QUOTE REVISIONS:  Quotes may be revised on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is awarded or cancelled by resubmitting a new quote.  Quote revisions will overlay previously submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the Government database.  

(g) QUOTE WITHDRAWAL:  Quotes may be withdrawn on DIBBS up until the time the solicitation is awarded or cancelled by resubmitting a new quote and selecting a bid type of “no bid.”  Quote withdrawal will overlay previously submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the Government database.   

(h) SET-ASIDE SOLICITATIONS:  Solicitations with an estimated dollar value exceeding the micropurchase threshold but not over $100,000 are set-aside for small business when cited in the solicitation.  When a solicitation is set-aside, only small business quotes that comply with the non-manufacturer rule will be considered.  See FAR 19.502(c) for an explanation of this rule.     

(i) FAST PACE SOLICITATIONS:  A Fast PACE icon  on the DIBBS “search results” screen identifies Fast PACE solicitations.  These solicitations, estimated to be less than the micropurchase threshold, are not set-aside for small businesses.  The solicitations may be awarded prior to the solicitation return date/time when they are not auction solicitations.  Commencing at 3:00 P.M., 3 business days after the issue date, and continuing every day thereafter at 3:00 P.M. until the return date, all quotes equal to or below the micropurchase threshold or less will be evaluated by DLA’s Procurement Automated Contract evaluation (PACE) program for an early award.   

DISCLAIMER:  The Fast PACE icon is used to indicate a “T” or “U” solicitation with an estimated dollar value equal to or less than the micropurchase threshold, not the potential quoted value.  Quotes  valued less than the micropurchase threshold that are submitted in response to solicitations that have an estimated value equal to or greater than the micropurchase threshold, may result in an early award as a result of being evaluated as a Fast PACE quote, even if not originally designated as such.  

(j) AUCTION SOLICITATIONS:  Auction solicitations are identifiable by a statement on the solicitation and by a gavel icon appearing on the DIBBS dynamic RFQ search results, the Internet quote form, and the batch quote download file.  Prices and other factors that could affect price evaluation (inspection and acceptance point, surplus, Buy American) are publicly displayed for all qualified quotes (bids without exception).  (Note:  large business quotes equal to or greater than the micropurchase threshold are not displayed on auction solicitations set-aside for small business, and any quote above $100,000 will not be displayed).  Bidders remain anonymous and have the opportunity to lower their quotes up until the auction closes (the return date/time) in the hope of receiving the award.  Awards of auction solicitations will not be made prior to the solicitation return date/time without a documented urgency.  At the return date/time, all quotes will be evaluated, therefore all quotes for auction solicitations must be submitted by the return date/time specified in the solicitation.  DIBBS quotes received after the return date/ time specified in the auction solicitation will not be considered for award.  

(End of Provision)  

**52.213-9008     Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation (PACE) Information (JAN 2006) – DLAD**

(a) PACE EVALUATION:  Acquisitions are candidates for automated award under DLA's Procurement Automated Contract Evaluation (PACE) program, when the solicitation states that the PACE program applies.  The program uses price logic and other automated filters to make fully automated and buyer assisted automated awards valued at $100,000 or less.  A purchase order with a “V” in the ninth position denotes an order issued under PACE.  PACE only considers “qualified quotes” for award.  Qualified quotes are in exact compliance with the solicitation requirements (bid type equal to “bid without exception”), and are submitted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS).  Refer to provision 52.213-9007 for information related to DIBBS.  

(1) The following are not, by themselves, considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will not make a quote ineligible** for an award:

(i) Quoting delivery days different than the required delivery days;

(ii) **Quoting origin inspection on solicitations requiring destination Inspection;  

(iii) Quoting a superseding or previously approved part or correction to a CAGE/part number cited in the acquisition identification description (AID) on an item described by manufacturer’s CAGE and part number;

(iv) Quoting a used, reconditioned, remanufactured item; 

(v) Quoting other than a domestic end product on an unrestricted solicitation; 

(vi) Quoting a hazardous item; 

(vii) Quoting a new/unused Government surplus item; and

	(viii) Quoting “Other” when the solicitation states a Higher Level Quality requirement is required

** NOTE:  The Department of Defense is implementing a policy that limits government source inspections, and permits government source inspection for specific instances.  Vendors should submit quotes based on the requirements stated in the solicitation.  If a vendor’s quote does not comply with the requirements stated in the solicitation, evaluation factors will be applied.  See paragraph (b)(1) below.  Additionally, should a quote citing origin inspection for a solicitation requiring destination inspection be evaluated manually, the quote may become ineligible for award.          

(2) The following are considered exceptions to the solicitation requirements and will make a quote ineligible for an

automated PACE award:

(i) Quoting an alternate product or otherwise taking exception to the solicitation’s item description; 

(ii) Exceptions to Packaging requirements;

(iii) Exceptions to FOB terms;

(iv) Quoting destination inspection on a solicitation requiring origin inspection;

(v) Exceptions to required quantity;

(vi) Quoting a quantity variance greater that what is specified on the solicitation;

(vii)Quoting “None” when a Higher Level Quality Requirement is required; and 

(viii) Quoting the use of Child Labor

(b) PACE EVALUATION FACTORS:  PACE evaluates all qualified quotes on the basis of price alone and does not consider quantity price breaks.  Price evaluation factors are added to the total quoted price in the following instances:

(1) $250 for quoting origin inspection when the Government’s requirement is for destination inspection (see DLAD 52.213-9001; factor does not apply to DVD (Direct Vendor Delivery) requirements if any qualified quote is above $25,000);

(2) $200 for quoting surplus material on non-critical items; $700 for quoting surplus material on critical items.  When an automated quote of surplus material is in line for award after applying the above evaluation factors, a manual evaluation will be conducted in accordance with the more detailed evaluation criteria in DLAD 52.211-9003.;and

(3) The Buy American Act (BAA) places restrictions on the purchase of supplies that are not domestic end products.  Refer to DFARS 252.225-7036. 

(c) TIE QUOTES:  If evaluated offers results in a tie between qualified quotes, the award decision will be based on the following order of precedence: 

(1) A domestic end product offer over a non-qualifying country end product offer;

(2) Small business offer over a large business offer;

(3) Offer with the shortest delivery (If a quote contains different deliveries for multiple line items the automated evaluation program uses the average of the delivery periods); and  

(4) First quote submitted.   

(d) MANUAL EVALUATION:  If the solicitation did not state that it was a candidate for PACE evaluation, or if the solicitation stated that it was a candidate for PACE evaluation but PACE is unable to make price reasonableness or contractor responsibility determinations, the solicitation and quote will be evaluated and awarded manually.  When a quote is manually evaluated the contracting officer may consider quantity price breaks offered without further solicitation or discussion.  

(e) MANUAL EVALUATION FACTORS:  If the requirement is evaluated manually, price, delivery, and past performance will be considered in accordance with the terms in the solicitation.  Delivery will be considered consistent with 

DLAD 52.211-9011.

(f) ALTERNATE OFFERS:  Alternate offers will not be considered for automated award.  Alternate offers may be submitted for evaluation for future procurements to the location identified in DLAD Clause 52.217-9002.  

(g) NOTICE OF AWARD:  The Government’s offer to purchase, as evidenced by an order, is made on the basis of a submitted quotation.  Vendors are requested to notify the administrative contracting officer, within 14 days after receiving the notice of award, when they will not perform in accordance with an order.  Failure to provide prompt notice will adversely affect your past performance evaluation if this order is later cancelled at other than the Government’s request.

(h) PACE Distribution:  The PACE award will be posted to the DLA DIBBS web site and distributed via email notification with a Web link to an electronic copy of the DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services.  Orders will be transmitted via DPACS Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to contractors who are DPACS EDI capable.  Contractors that are not DPACS EDI capable will receive their orders via email award notification containing Web links.  Delays in the receipt of awards that are caused by email interruptions and Internet access are not excusable delays and will not extend delivery schedules.

(End of Provision)

**PART II –Indefinite Delivery****Purchase Order (IDPO) Contract****:**Applies where “U” solicitation and resulting award does not specify a firm quantity of supplies (other than a minimum quantity) and provides for the issuance of delivery orders during the period of the contract.  Coverage is for DLA orders for stock replenishment. 

**SUBMISSION OF QUOTES:**Quotes must be submitted on the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ on the Web quote form (DIBBS batch and EDI/DIBBS quoting is not available for these IDPO solicitations).  Quotes received by US mail or other electronic means, even though within the FAR definition of “electronic commerce” or “electronic and information technology”, includes such things as facsimile (fax), and electronic mail (email), will not be considered for award.  If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt of quotes is 2:00 p.m. Eastern Standard Time or when applicable Eastern Daylight Savings Time on the return date.  All return date/times are synchronized to the U.S. Naval Observatory Clock.  If a return date falls on a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday it will be extended to the next business day. **NOTE**: The solicitation return date/time is not a firm closing date.

     	At the return date and time, all quotes will be evaluated to determine whether an automated IDPO award can be made.  Therefore, quotes should be submitted by the return date and time specified in the solicitation.  Quotes received after the return date/time will continue to run through the automated award process until the award process (automated or manual) has begun.  Once the award process has begun, late quotes will only be considered if the contracting officer determines that it is in the best interests of the Government and that accepting the late quote would not unduly delay the award. 

Quote revisions will overlay previously submitted quotes on the same solicitation in the Government database.  Quotes may be withdrawn by submitting a revised quote with a bid type of “no bid.”

QUOTE VALIDITY PERIOD:  Quotes must be valid for a minimum of 90 days in order to be considered for automated award (see AutoIDPO EVALUATION section below).**

AutoIDPO EVALUATION**: Automated IDPO solicitations are candidates for award under DLA’s Automated IDPO Evaluation and Award program (AutoIDPO).  AutoIDPO uses pricing logic and other automated filters to make fully automated, and buyer assisted automated IDPO awards.**

	AutoIDPO only considers “qualified quotes” for award.  Qualified quotes are bids without exception and alternate bids that submit pricing and delivery for all quantity ranges, destinations, and options years as solicited.  If the alternate bid meets the established savings threshold and is still the low offeror, the alternate bid will be considered for award after approval of the alternate item.

**“Bids without exception”** are quotes that submit pricing and delivery for all quantity ranges, destinations, and option years and are in exact compliance with solicitation requirements for exact product, minimum 90 day quote validity period, packaging, FOB point, source inspection, and allowable quantity variance, if any.****

**“Alternate Bids”** are quotes that offer an item other than the exact approved item cited in the procurement item description (PID).****

****Quotes that do not submit pricing and delivery for all quantity ranges, destinations, and option years as solicited, and/or quotes that take exception to solicitation requirements for minimum quote valid days, packaging, FOB point, source inspection, and quantity variance allowed, are considered **“bids with exception”** and will not be considered for automated award.

**AutoIDPO EVALUATION FACTORS:**AutoIDPO evaluates all qualified quotes on the basis of price alone by establishing a total weighted average price as follows: 

A weighted factor will be applied to the average unit price for each price break range, including zones and option years (5% to the first ordering range, 65% to the second ordering range, 25% to the third ordering range, and 5% to the fourth ordering range). The summation of the four average weighted unit prices will be the total weighted average unit price for the quote.  The total weighted average unit price is multiplied by the estimated annual demand value to arrive at the total weighted average price per year.  This total weighted average price per year is multiplied by the number of contract years to arrive at the total weighted average price for the IDPO contract.  Where the evaluation factor for source inspection applies (DLAD 52.213-9001), the factor will be applied based on an estimated ___ inspections.   

Price related evaluation factors are added to the weighted average total price in the following instances: 

1. $250 per source inspection when the solicitation requirement is for destination inspection (see DLAD 52.213-9001).  This factor will be applied based on an estimated ___ inspections.   

2. $200 for quoting surplus material on non-critical items; $800 for quoting surplus on critical items (see DLAD 52.211-9003).  [Surplus material may not be considered for award unless a certification for each surplus lot is furnished by the closing date and/or upon request of the buyer.  In addition, the surplus certifications furnished must cover at least the estimated quantity for the base period].

3.  $200 for quoting an alternate item if only a local technical evaluation is involved, plus an additional $1500.00 for each required Engineering Support Activity evaluation (see DLAD 52.217-9002).

MANUAL EVALUATION: **If there are no qualified quotes, or AutoIDPO is unable to make price reasonableness or contractor responsibility determinations, the contracting officer will use price and other factors (delivery, past performance) to evaluate quotes.**

IDPOCONTRACT:**The IDPO order will incorporate this Master Solicitation by reference, including the following terms and conditions which will be provided in full text:**

****

NOTICE:  This is an offer for an Indefinite Delivery Purchase Order (IDPO) contract for a period of one year, with ______ one-year options, for the item of supply listed in the solicitation item description. 

(a)The IDPO contract will provide coverage for DLA orders for stock replenishment. Prices are FOB ______ with LOGMARS Bar Code marking and MIL-STD-2073**1D packing.

(b) The estimated annual demand quantity for the item of supply is  ___.  This is an estimate only and is not purchased by this contract. 

(c) This IDPO order contains the terms and conditions of the contract.  It is an offer by the Government to order at least the minimum quantity of supplies (insert qty and unit of issue) as stated in the first delivery order.  The contractor shall furnish to the Government, when and if ordered, the supplies specified in Section B up to an aggregate dollar value of all orders, including the initial order, equal to the simplified acquisition threshold of $150,000 (FAR 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity).

(d) Such orders may be issued from (effective date) to (final expiration date) (FAR 52.216-18 Ordering). 

(e) There is no limit on the number of orders that may be issued during the contract period.  The Contractor is       obligated to honor individual orders for quantities covered by the incremental quantity ranges specified in Section B.  The Government reserves the right to issue orders for quantities not covered by the incremental quantity ranges which the Contractor is not obligated to honor so long as the Contractor provides notification of their intent not to perform within 7 days after the date of order to the administrative contracting officer listed in Block 6 of the delivery order.  Failure to provide such notice will adversely affect the Contractor’s past performance Automated Best Value System score if this order is later cancelled at other than the Government’s request (FAR 52.216-19 Order Limitations). For informational purposes only, and without any obligation, the Government anticipates __ orders per year.

(f) In pricing delivery orders requiring delivery of one NSN to multiple destinations, the price for each destination will be based on the quantity range price based on the total quantity of the NSN being procured under each delivery order regardless of destination.

(g) The Government’s minimum obligation under the IDPO contract is the quantity of the first delivery order (___ each). This minimum order quantity is inclusive of the entire contract period (base and option years).  In no event shall the Government be obligated to place follow-on orders for additional quantities above the minimum under this agreement.

(h) The contractor’s method of accepting the IDPO contract (for the first delivery order and all follow-on orders) is their performance of the first delivery order.  

If the contractor accepts the Government’s IDPO offer by furnishing the supplies in the first delivery order, an IDPO contract is formed and the contractor agrees to honor additional orders at the price quoted for the quantity range that will cover the total quantity on the order (regardless of destination).  Failure to make timely delivery on a follow-on order may therefore result in contractor liability to the Government under the terms of the Default Clause at FAR 52.249-8.  

(i) There will only be one IDPO contract per NSN.  It is an indefinite quantity contract (IQC) and is not to be considered a requirements type contract.     

(j) The IDPO will be distributed via email notification with a Web link to an electronic copy of the DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services.  Delivery orders, citing the basic agreement, will be transmitted via DPACS Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) to contractors who are DPACS EDI capable.  Contractors who are not DPACS EDI capable will receive their delivery orders via email award notification containing Web links. 

(k) Numbering:  The uniform procurement identification numbering (PIIN) system will be used. The IDPO contract and delivery orders issued thereunder will be distinguished by a “D” in the ninth position and a “5”, “6” or *“*7*”* in the tenth position, of the PIIN.  An “A” through “K” in the eleventh position of the PIIN denotes an AutoIDPO contract, while an “L” through “Y” in the eleventh position denotes a manually evaluated AutoIDPO contract.  The Delivery orders will be serially numbered with sub-PIIN numbers 0001 through 9999.
