 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

INTRODUCTION

DLA Troop Support intends to enter into one Indefinite Delivery Purchase Order (IDPO) with the purpose of 

obtaining shelf stable tortillas to be used in the Unitized Group Ration – Heat & Serve and UGR-M Programs. 

The resulting award shall be a Fixed-Price IDPO, in accordance with reference DGPA 13.390. The resulting 

award will be a 3-year contract. The effective period will be the date of award through 1,095 days. NOTE: 

Deliveries might fall outside of the effective period.

Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procedures will be used for this acquisition. The Government intends 

to award to the responsible offeror that adheres to the solicitation requirements and provides a technically 

acceptable product demonstration model (PDM). 

The Government will award an IDPO resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer 

conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors 

considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: 

(i) Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; 

(ii) Price; 

(iii) Past performance (see FAR 15.304);

(iv) Food Defense Checklist

Upon the closing of the solicitation, the Government reserves the right to conduct negotiations concerning price and/or the technical 

proposal.

Offerors are required to submit the completed solicitation, the pricing proposal, past performance information, PDMs, and the 

completed Food Defense Checklist.

Note: Offerors must meet all terms, conditions, and requirements of this solicitation. 

II. CONTRACTING AUTHORITY

A. DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer is the ONLY person authorized to approve changes to, or modify any requirement of 

the contract. Notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in the contract, said authority remains solely with the DLA Troop 

Support Contracting Officer.

B. In the event the vendor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the DLA 

Troop Support Contracting Officer, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustments will be made 

to cover any costs associated with such change.

III. TECHNICAL/QUALITY DATA 

1. PRODUCT DEMONSTRATION MODEL (PDM) INFORMATION

Product Demonstration Model (PDM): The Government requires Product Demonstration Models (PDMs) for each item while the 

solicitation is open. The PDMs must be received no later than the time set for closing of offers. Offers will be evaluated to determine 

compliance with all characteristics listed for evaluation in FAR 52.212-2 herein. Failure to furnish PDMs by the closing date and time 

specified in the solicitation may be cause for rejection of the quote. A cover letter may accompany the offer to set forth any information 

you wish to bring to the attention of the Government. 

PDMs are to be submitted at no expense to the Government and must be received prior to the time set for closing of offers. PDMs will 

become the property of the Government and will not be returned to the offeror. Failure to submit PDMs may result in rejection of an 

offer. 

The PDM is the standard to which all production under any contract resulting from this solicitation must conform. Offerors are 

cautioned that samples produced in test facilities may not be comparable to the product produced on a production line, which result in 

rejection of the product. Also major changes in production methodology or, such as implementation of new technology, may result in 

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 7 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

production that does not meet the production standard, which would require the submission and evaluation of new PDMs. Should the 

contractor at any time plan to, or actually produce the product using different raw material or process methodologies from the approved 

Product Standard, which result in a product non-comparable to the Product Standard, the contractor shall arrange for a Replacement 

PDM approval. In any event, all product produced must meet all requirements of this document including Product Standard 

comparability. 

The Government will evaluate the PDMs for compliance with the item descriptions and product specifications and will also evaluate the 

sensory attributes of the food product to include appearance, odor, flavor and texture using the recognized 9-point quality rating scale to 

determine product quality. PDMs must conform to all specification/production description characteristics. Failure of models to conform 

to the specification may result in rejection of offer. Product offered shall conform to all packaging, labeling, and packing requirements 

as well as analytical requirements. The government shall not accept product from any resultant contract which does not conform to all 

requirements. 

If negotiations are conducted concerning the technical proposal, offerors having unacceptable PDMs (hedonic scale score is lower than 

6) may be given one opportunity to correct any deficiencies found during the evaluation of PDMs. The final rating will be based on 

second submission (if negotiations are conducted) and it must be rated “ACCEPTABLE” otherwise the final proposal will be rejected. 

Offerors are advised that if they have any unacceptable PDMs after the second evaluation, their offer will be determined technically 

unacceptable and they will not be considered for award. The Government shall require each PDM to be rated as “Acceptable”. Revised 

or alternate PDMs submitted during negotiations shall be evaluated for the same criteria detailed above.

A total of 30 samples of PDM items shall be submitted as stated below:

12 PDMs shall be sent to:

Department of the Army

RDNS-SEC-EMR

Natick Soldier Systems Center 

10 General Greene Avenue

Natick, MA 01760

Lab # 508-233-5653 

Jill.M.Bates@us.army.mil 

Jonathan.Ebert@us.army.mil

Note: The end or side of the box should have a sticker, or be printed on the box, with the following information:

Product Demonstration Model Sample

Solicitation Number

Product Identity

Lot #

Company Name and Address

Point of Contact Name and Phone Number

Inside the case, along with the samples, should be the required paperwork, fully identifying the product, solicitation number, 

whether the item is an Initial, Replenishment, or Replacement PDM, USDA certification, any test results available, or any other 

information to assist in identifying the product and conducting the evaluation. 

Offerors may direct proposed subcontractors to submit PDM samples directly to Natick on their behalf. In those instances, the 

offeror will send written notification of subcontractor submissions to Natick and such PDMs must be clearly labeled for which

offeror they are being submitted. This documentation must also be part of their proposal. PDMs will not be evaluated until 

written notification from the offeror is received. This consideration does not relieve the offeror of the full responsibility for 

submitting all PDMs in a timely manner. Late submissions of PDMs may be the basis for rejection of the proposal. 

The offeror shall provide a complete list of its PDMs submitted, with its technical proposal, to include: item, source of supply 

name and address, and item lot number. Note: Offerors may submit PDMs to Natick for evaluation any time after solicitation 

issuance. 

A total of 16 PDMs shall be sent to the cognizant in-plant Government inspector. In this instance, the offeror shall advise the 

Government inspector after production of the PDMs and shall obtain a signed statement from the inspector confirming possession 

of the samples and identifying the samples as from the same production lot as those submitted to Natick. The offeror shall submit 

this statement(s) with this balance of PDM samples submitted to DLA Troop Support. 

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 8 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

The remaining 2 PDMs of the same product lot code as those submitted to Natick and the USDA government inspector shall be 

mailed along with your technical proposal to Jasmine Brown at the address listed on page 4. 

PLEASE NOTE: This requirement is waived for any offeror who has submitted and received an acceptable rating on a PDM or FA from 

Natick, in the 12 months prior to the solicitation close date. Please provide documentation from Natick of the passing PDM score. 

The PDMs required in this part of the solicitation, which are submitted to Natick, must have any required analytical results included as 

part of the offer for this technical evaluation factor. The analyticals are to be certified by the USDA (i.e., testing of official USDA samples 

by a USDA/AMS laboratory) for current suppliers of these items and self-certified by other potential offerors. Failure to submit the 

required certified analyticals with PDMs may result in the proposal not being considered for award. The offeror should include 

applicable documentation to establish that the product has been processed to meet commercial sterility requirements. e.g.: including 

incubation sample results. 

Every 12 months, the Government Quality Assurance Representative (GQAR) will randomly select 12 replenishment samples for Natick 

and 16 replenishment samples for the government’s supply at origin from a lot accepted by the government for all contractual 

requirements. The contractor will be responsible for shipment to Natick. This replenishment may occur earlier if necessary to ensure 

an adequate supply of PDM samples. The contractor will also use samples from this same lot as the production standard. 

Replenishment PDMs are defined as product samples used to reestablish the product standard due to depleting the current PDM 

stocks or as required by schedule. Replenishment PDMs will be evaluated for appearance, odor, flavor and texture, must be equal to 

or better than the existing product standard for all characteristics, and must meet the requirements for those characteristics in the 

appropriate product technical requirements document or specification(s). Upon acceptance the replenishment PDM will become the 

new product standard.

If a Replenishment PDM is rejected by Natick, the next conforming production lot will be submitted by USDA as a Resubmittal PDM 

Replenishment. This follow-up Resubmittal PDM Replenishment and any subsequent Resubmittal lots cannot be shipped by the 

manufacturer without an acceptable evaluation result from Natick.

The cut-off date for PDM Replenishments will be 18 months. After 18 months, USDA will submit a PDM sample to Natick as a 

Replacement PDM, following the PDM submittal process. The production lot that is used for the Replacement PDM submittal cannot be 

shipped by the manufacturer without an acceptable evaluation result from Natick. 

If the contractor wishes to establish a new standard, that new standard would be called a Replacement PDM. Replacement PDMs are 

defined as product samples that are non-comparable to the established PDM, e.g. due to different ingredients or process 

methodologies. Replacement PDMs are submitted by the contractor and follow the same submittal process as the initial PDM. At no 

time will there be two standards for the product.

Periodic Review samples are required for all rations items. The following are the requirements and distribution of samples: The USDA 

Inspector shall select eight samples of each item produced during each month of production. The eight samples will be selected from 

four random sampling points in the lot and Natick will receive samples from each of those four sampling points. The remaining samples 

will be distributed to the USDA review locations. These samples shall be designated as Monthly Review Samples. The USDA Inspector 

will ship them monthly to the following locations at the contractor’s expense: 

One sample to the USDA, AMS, FV, SCI Division Review Locations (Washington, DC; Oshkosh, WI; South Bend, IN and Winter 

Haven, FL)

AND Four samples to:

Department of the Army

RDNS-SEC-EMR

Natick Soldier Systems Center

10 General Greene Avenue

Natick, MA 01760

2. PACKAGING:

Preservation, packaging, etc. furnished by suppliers shall meet or exceed the following requirements:

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 9 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Unit packages shall be designed and constructed so that the contents of each package shall be protected from damage during 

shipment and storage. Unit packages shall also be able to withstand subsequent handling. Unit packs susceptible to corrosion or 

deterioration shall be protected by preservative coatings. Items requiring protection from physical damage, or which are fragile in 

nature (i.e., glass) shall be protected by wrapping, cushioning, etc. or other means to mitigate damage during handling and shipment. If 

screw caps are used, they shall be secured to the bottles with a band of plastic shrink film or plastic tape. All bottles shall be 

hermetically sealed (inner seal) and secured to withstand any position in the shipping container without leaking.

3. TRACEABILITY:

In order to facilitate an effective Traceability Program for the end-item Group Ration Program, the contractor shall ensure that each 

primary container (unit pack) and intermediate container, if required, has a lot number and/or Date of Pack (DOP). The date of pack is 

equal to the date of production. The date of pack on the Placards shall be identical to the material code on each individual case. These 

package codes shall be permanent and legible. Failure to comply will result in delayed payment.

Use of the Julian Date for the lot number and a time stamp (hour and minute of filling/sealing) is preferred. For example, (1296 

12:15), 1296 = October 23, 2011 and 12:15 representing the time of filling/sealing. If the contractor’s lot identification is of their own 

coding, the contractor shall provide the coding information for the primary containers and the contract data markings upon delivery. 

Package codes per case lot number shall be identified on the accompanying iRapt Report/Bill of Lading/DD250 upon delivery.

Additionally, the contractor shall ensure that Traceability Records include identifying ALL ingredients and ALL sources for those 

ingredients. This shall be accomplished for each item, brand, and component that is shipped to the Defense Depot (Assembler) for the 

Unitized Group Ration Programs. This information shall be made available within 24 hours.

6. DATE OF PACK:

Acceptance will be limited to product processed and packed subsequent to date of award of delivery order. Additionally, all shipments 

of components/product from a producer to destination/assembly points shall not be older than 90 days at time of shipment.

7. MISCELLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS:

Compliance with the provisions contained in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations Part 110 “Current Good Manufacturing Practice in 

Manufacturing, Packaging or Holding Human Food,” and all regulations referenced herein, is required. In addition, the contractor is 

required to comply with all the provisions contained within specific parts of the Code of Federal Regulations. For example, low-acid 

canned food manufacturers, Part 110 and 113 are applicable.

The Contracting Officer or any Government personnel designated by him shall be permitted entry into the contractor’s and 

subcontractor’s plants during performance of manufacturing operations. Except for inspection service, the Contracting Officer shall give 

prior notice of the purpose of the meetings and shall furnish dates of the visit.

8. MARKING OF SHIPPING CONTAINERS AND MARKING OF UNIT LOADS:

For shipments to Department of Defense Depots, all Shipping Containers and Unit Load shall be marked in 

accordance with DLA Troop Support Form 3556, entitled “Marking Instructions for Boxes, Sacks, and Unit 

Loads of Perishable and Semi-perishable Subsistence, dated October 2010.”

All unit loads shall be clearly marked with the following information on two adjacent sides of the load with the largest characters 

possible as follows:

Unitized Ration Component

National Stock Number

Item Name

Date of Pack and/or Lot Number

Number of Shipping Containers per Pallet

Contract Number

Contractor’s Name and Address

Inspection Test Date (ITD) *

*The Inspection Test Date, the expected shelf life is found in the applicable solicitation/contract. To calculate the ITD, add the shelf life 

value to the month/year date of pack. Example, if the Date of Pack is June 2007, and the shelf life is 36 months (3 years), then the ITD 

is computed as follows: 6/07 + 3 years = 6/10. If labels are used, they shall be permanently affixed with water-resistant adhesive tape.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 10 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Shipments without the appropriate Shipping Container and Unit Load Markings will be rejected and returned to origin, or at the 

Contracting Officers discretion, reworked at a labor rate determined by the destination activity (not DLA Troop Support).

Pallets containing mixed lots will not be accepted.

Pallets containing material labeled with mixed delivery order numbers will not be accepted.

9. UNITIZATION:

Unit loads shall have the shipping containers arranged on a 40 inch by 48 inch commercial wood or plywood four-way entry pallet, or on 

a 48 inch by 40 inch Grocery Manufacturers of America wood four-way entry pallet. The load shall be bonded with non-metallic 

strapping, shrink or stretch film, or others means that comply with carrier rules and regulations applicable to the mode of transportation 

(adhesive bonding is not acceptable).

Bonding material shall secure the load to the pallet to form a consolidated, stable cargo which can be handled 

as a unit. For example, when strapping is used to secure the load, the straps shall pass under the top deck 

boards of the pallet. When stretch or shrink film is used, it must be applied low enough on the pallet to secure 

the load to the pallet. The unit load height shall not exceed 50 inches.

Inspection of unit loads shall be in accordance with classification Type III, Class G of DLA Troop Support Form 

3507 of April 2014 entitled “Loads, Unit; Preparation of Semi-perishable Subsistence Items.”

The unit load dimensions are 40 inches in length by 48 inches in width and 50 inches in height (Please 

note: In the height dimension, this includes the 1-3/8" slave board that the pallet and material are 

placed on). These dimensions are exact and can be no larger than what is specified. No overhang is 

permitted. 

10. INTEGRATED PEST MANAGEMENT (IPM)

The procedures contained in the “Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Program Requirements for Operational Rations,” of April 2011 are 

required and apply to all Operational Rations components. Each contractor is to have an IPM program in place prior to the initiation of 

production of Government product. The IPM plan and the associated pesticide labels and MSDS documents are not to be submitted to 

DLA Troop Support. The contractor shall have those documents available for on-site review during a Quality Systems Management 

Visit (QSMV) or Quality Systems Compliance Audit. In addition, evidence of an insect or rodent infestation, or contamination involving 

any end item will be cause for rejection of the involved lot. IPM program requirements can be found on the DLA Troop Support website 

at: http://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documents/TroopSupport/Subsistence/FoodSafety/FoodQuality/TS_ipm-cpaf_151204.pdf

11. PRODUCT SANITARILY APPROVED SOURCE REQUIREMENTS: 

As required by 48 CFR 246.471 Authorizing Shipment of Supplies, AR 40-657, Veterinary/Medical Food Safety, Quality Assurance and 

Laboratory Service, DLAR 4155.3, Inspections of Subsistence Supplies and Services, DLAD 52.246-9044, "SANITARY CONDITIONS 

(APR 2014), and as clarified by the Armed Forces Food Risk Evaluation Committee, 31 JAN 1996, all Operational Ration Food 

Components will originate from sanitarily approved establishments. Acceptable sanitary approval is constituted by listing in the 

"Directory of Sanitarily Approved Food Establishments for Armed Forces Procurement," published by the U.S. Army Institute of Public 

Health (USAIPH), or an establishment inspected and approved by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) or the U.S. Department 

of Commerce (USDC) and possessing a USDA/USDC establishment number. This requirement applies to all GFM and CFM 

Operational Ration Food Components and to all Operational Ration types. Requests for inspection and "Directory" listing by USAIPH 

will be routed through DLA Troop Support-FTRE for coordination and action. Situations involving sole sources of supply, proprietary 

supply sources, and commercial Brand Name items will be evaluated directly by the Chief, DLA Troop Support-FTRE, in coordination 

with the Chief, Approved Sources Division, USAIPH.

conveyance is not equipped to maintain prescribed temperatures, or the transport results in product ‘unfit for intended purpose’, 

supplies tendered for acceptance may be rejected without further inspection.

12. MISCELLANEOUS REQUIREMENTS:

Compliance with the provisions contained in Title 21, Code of Federal Regulations Part 110 “Current Good 

Manufacturing Practice in Manufacturing, Packaging or Holding Human Food,” and all regulations referenced 

herein, is required. In addition, the contractor is required to comply with all with the provisions contained within 

specific parts of the Code of Federal Regulations. For example, low-acid canned food manufacturers, Part 110 

and 113 are applicable.

13. REWORK OF NONCONFORMING PRODUCT PRE OR POST ACCEPTANCE

Rework of Nonconforming Product: The Government QAR must be informed and provided documentation of all 

rework results when product is presented for Government verification inspection or prior to Government 

inspection as indicated below.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 13 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

A. Corrective Action (Rework/Screen Inspections) Taken Prior to Government Verification Inspection (Receipt, 

In-Process And End-Item Inspections): Unless otherwise specified below, all reworks and screening 

inspections conducted prior to the Government verification inspection do not require approval from the 

Government. Although the GQAR must be informed of all reworks, the contractor is not required to obtain 

approval to take corrective and preventive action as deemed necessary to ensure compliance with contractual 

requirements. For reworks requiring the Government's approval (as specified below), the contractor may 

submit a Standard Rework Procedure (SRP), for certain defects, under the contractor's documented QSP 

section XII - Corrective and Preventive Action Program. The SRPs must be specific and these must be 

evaluated by DLA Troop Support-FTR, and DLA Troop Support-FTRE, and approved by the applicable 

Contracting Officer.

NOTE: All requests for rework shall be accompanied with a COMPREHENSIVE rework plan. The rework plan 

will include rational information and data that supports the rework plan and ensures the elimination of 

nonconforming material from the lot. When a contractor determines as a result of his end item inspection(s) or 

QSP that supplies do not conform to contractual requirements and the supplies cannot be reworked (such as 

drained weight, viscosity, piece size, residual air, etc), he has the alternative to request the Contracting Officer 

for a waiver for the nonconforming requirement. If the Contracting Officer approves the waiver request for a 

specific requirement, the written waiver approval shall be provided to the GQAR when the supplies are 

presented for Government Verification Inspection (the skip-lot inspection does not apply in this case). The 

GQAR shall inspect the supplies for compliance with all requirements of the contract, except the waived 

requirement. The Contracting Officer, in special circumstances, may request the GQAR to inspect for the nonconforming characteristics also, after the waiver for the nonconforming requirement has been provisionally 

approved, to determine severity of nonconformance only. Due to the type of statistical sampling cited in the 

contract, under no circumstances shall a lot found nonconforming by the contractor be inspected by the GQAR 

to determine conformance to a requirement that has previously been established as nonconforming by the 

contractor’s inspection. After any lot’s failure or rework, if the lot is reinspected, it will be both Contractor and 

Government inspected at the next higher sample size.

B. The Following Reworks Must Be Coordinated with The Supervisory GQAR and Approved by The Applicable 

DLA Troop Support-FTR Office.

 1. Insect or Rodent Infestation/Contamination: Reworks must be approved by DLA Troop Support-FTRE.

 2. Food Safety and Foreign Material: All corrective actions for product retained due to 

processed/unprocessed container mix-ups must be approved by FTR. Thermal process deviations or 

deviations from the preparation, formulation or critical factors cited in the approved process schedule must be 

accompanied by a detailed letter from the plant's Processing Authority. The involved subcode(s), the deviation, 

and the disposition of the product shall be clearly identified when the complete lot is presented for Government 

end item verification inspection. If the producer fails to provide enough information/data in the case of a 

deviation, the GQAR shall contact FTR for approval to proceed with the Government end item verification 

inspection. These requirements are in addition to applicable Code of Federal Regulations or other regulatory 

requirements (USDA-FSIS, FDA). Foreign material identified during normal in-process control actions do not 

require a waiver request. However, foreign material discovered during in-house or GQAR/USDA end item 

inspection is cause for rejection of the lot. Rework request that result from foreign material identified during end 

item inspection of the in-house and/or GQAR/USDA requires prior approval from DLA Troop Support FTR. 

Foreign material identified during normal in-process control actions does not require a waiver request from 

DLA Troop Support FTR, but does require USDA notification of the incident. However, foreign material 

discovered during the Contractor or GQAR/USDA end item inspection is cause for rejection of the lot. Rework 

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 14 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

requests that involve foreign material identified during end item inspections require approval from DLA Troop 

Support FTR before the rework activity can proceed.

“Retesting/re-inspection/rework of product that tested positive for food borne pathogens (salmonella, e. coli, 

etc.) is not authorized.”

Note: Deviations (that occur during or prior to the production of a product) from specific preparation/ 

formulation/ingredient requirements cited in the specifications shall be submitted as a request for product 

deviation and must be approved and coordinated with the Specification Preparing Activity (Natick) through the 

applicable Contracting Officer.

 3. Container Integrity Defects: All reworks due to container integrity defects noted during the producer’s end 

item inspection (for critical container defects only) or Government final lot end item verification inspection, must 

be approved by FTR unless 100% primary container rework of the entire lot is conducted at source. All 

containers exhibiting same or other container integrity defects must be removed during the 100% primary 

container rework and noted on the rework paperwork. Reworked lots will be inspected or re-inspected, as 

applicable, by the contractor at the location of the rework using the next larger sample size (for example, from 

200 samples to 315, or if a second rework, from 315 samples to 500 samples). Rework results must be 

included with other paperwork when the lot is presented for Government end item verification inspection.

 4. Second Time Reworks: All second time reworks must be approved by the applicable FTR office.

 5. Nonconformances Noted During the Government End Item Verification Inspection:

All rework requests submitted for defects noted during Government end item verification inspections must be 

approved by the applicable Contracting Officer, unless exempted under paragraph 3 above.

 

C. Contractor's Quality History:

 1. Effectiveness of corrective actions (rework/screen inspections) taken by the contractor prior to 

Government end item verification inspection (receipt, in-process and contractor's end-item inspections) will be 

determined by the results of the end item verification inspection performed by the GQAR. Corrective actions 

taken to ensure compliance with the contractual requirements prior to the Government end item verification 

inspection will not be counted against the contractor's quality history. If product is found conforming during the 

Government end item verification inspection, the corrective action will be determined to have been effective. 

However, all requests for waivers and product deviations will be counted.

 2. If product is found nonconforming during the Government end item verification inspection following 

contractor corrective action for the same defect (or defect category in case of critical container defects) for 

which the contractor took a corrective action, the corrective action will be determined to have been ineffective. 

In addition to any action taken, the contractor must reevaluate their documented QSP and/or the implemented 

corrective and preventive action program by an internal audit and results must be submitted to DLA Troop 

Support-FTSB (Quality Systems Auditors). All corrective actions (rework/screening inspections, etc.) taken by 

the contractor due to a Government end item verification inspection rejection will be documented in the 

contractor's quality history records.

NOTE: If the contractor elects to rework nonconforming product, it must be reworked and reoffered within 30 

days from date of initial rejection.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 15 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

All requests for rework shall be accompanied with a comprehensive rework plan. The rework plan will include 

rational information and data that supports the rework plan and ensures the elimination of nonconforming 

material from the lot. See “Request for Rework, Request for Waiver, Request for Deviation, or Re-inspection of 

Nonconforming Supplies”.

D. Request for Rework, Request for Waiver, Request for Deviation, or Re-inspection of

Nonconforming Supplies

 1. When contractor inspection or QSP, or Government verification by the QAR, reveals a process deviation 

or nonconforming lot, the contractor's written request for deviation, waiver, rework or re-inspection of the 

nonconforming lot(s) must be furnished, as appropriate to the Contracting Officer and cognizant Government 

QAR and shall at a minimum contain the following:

NOTE: Subject line should include what is being asked for (i.e.: Request for Waiver for Drain Weight of Beef 

Stew or Request for Rework for Residual Air for Apple Dessert)

a. Type of Request: Waiver, Notification, Re-inspection, Rework

b. Approval Required from DLA: Yes or No

c. Contractor Name/Address

d. Contract Number

e. Product Name

f. National Stock Number

g. Batch Number(s) (If Applicable)

h. Sublot(s) (If Applicable)

i. Lot Number(s)

j. Process Category (i.e. Work-progress/End Item)

k. Quantity

l. Specification Requirement Number (PCR, CID, etc)

m. Sample Size; Defect; Accept/Reject

n. Defect Classification: Critical, Major, Minor, NA

o. Inspection Failure (Summary of non-conformances)

p. Failure Identified: Processing, Packaging, End Item

q. Inspector: In-plant/Contractor or USDA

r. Date of Incident

s. Attachments (Provide in-house, USDA worksheets, in-process data)

t. Root Cause of nonconformance or deviation (Describe using a short detailed paragraph; Tell a story of 

the incident)

u. Corrective Action (Describe using a short detailed paragraph)

v. Preventive Action (Describe using a short detailed paragraph; if preventive action is not possible, state 

why)

w. Occurrence (Has this occurred before/when; if yes, what was the date/contract/lot number of last 

occurrence)

x. Estimated Cost

y. Effect on Delivery

z. Justification for request (What are you asking for?)

NOTE: All requests for rework shall be accompanied with a COMPREHENSIVE rework plan. The rework plan 

will include rational information and data that supports the rework plan and ensures the elimination of 

nonconforming material from the lot. After any lot’s failure or rework, if the lot is reinspected, it will be both 

Contractor and Government inspected at the next higher sample size.

 2. When a valid technical reason for re-inspection without rework is offered and permission is granted by 

the PCO, the contractor shall take corrective action to eliminate the cause of the inspection revealed failure; 

reinspect the non-reworked lot after taking the corrective action, and evaluate the results of the initial 

inspection and the re-inspection by means of recognized statistical methods.

 a. If the statistical tests reveal no significant difference between the results of the two inspections, 

acceptability will be based on re-inspection results. A significant difference is one that is real and not due to 

chance variation. Statistically, a difference which has a 0.05 probability of occurring by chance alone is usually 

considered a significant difference.

 b. If such statistical tests reveal no significant difference between the results of the two inspections, both 

results will be reported to the Contracting Officer.

 1. The results of the two inspections will be averaged and acceptability will be based on whether the 

resulting average meets the requirement, when the requirement is an average (variable) requirement.

 2. The results of the initial (original) inspection will be the basis for the acceptability decision when the 

requirement is a unit (attribute) requirement.

14. QUALITY ASSURANCE PROVISIONS- GOVERNMENT INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE:

A. Government inspection shall also be at destination (Defense Depot) for identity, count and condition for all terms and conditions of 

the contract. This shall include but is not limited to the following

a. All shipments must be accompanied by a Bill of Lading and a iRapt Report. 

b. For the purposes of Inspection/Acceptance and Shipment/Delivery, a manufacturer’s “lot” shall be considered no greater than 

a single shift’s production. 

c. All unit loads must be marked in accordance with DLA Troop Support 3507.

d. All unit loads shall be stable and not exceed 50 inches high. 

e. All delivered product shall be free of defects.

f. All shipments must contain the correct quantity as specified by DLA Troop Support.

g. Appointments must be scheduled with the receiving activity prior to delivery.

h. All delivered product must meet or exceed the appropriate product requirements as described in this Solicitation.

i. All delivered products must meet the required date of pack/shelf life requirements.

j. To determine the date of pack, any closed date code must be accompanied with documentation deciphering the closed 

product code. Date of pack on individual cases shall match date specified on placards.

k. All delivered products must be free of insect and rodent infestation.

Failure to comply with ANY of the above conditions may result in the shipment(s) being rejected and returned to origin, or at the 

Contracting Officer’s discretion reworked at a labor rate determined by the destination activity (not DLA Troop Support). 

B. ALTERNATIVE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS FOR SELECTED ITEMS – DLA TROOP SUPPORT - SUBSISTENCE

(a) Optional Contractor testing of Contractor-furnished materials.

To expedite shipment, the Contractor has the option to perform, or have performed by an independent laboratory, contractually-required 

tests of end items or component material not specified by the U.S. Standards of Grade. The inspector for the Government agency 

having jurisdiction over ascertaining compliance may permit shipment, provided all other requirements of the contract are met. The 

designated Government inspector will select random samples of each lot of end items or component material for verification testing until 

the Contractor’s testing system is determined reliable in accordance with paragraph (c) of this clause. It is the intent of the Government 

to rely on Contractor test results to the maximum extent practicable and minimize Government verification testing.

(b) Compliance of product.

Acceptance of material as complying with required characteristics shall be based on the Contractor’s test results; provided that 

Government verification indicates the Contractor’s testing system is reliable, in accordance with paragraph (c) of this clause, as to each 

of the required characteristics. If the Contractor’s test system is determined to be unreliable, product compliance will be determined 

based solely on Government test results. In the event the Government detects any irregularities in the Contractor’s testing system, the 

designated Government inspector may withhold approval until Government test results indicate products conform to contract 

requirements. (For Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) items, if Government laboratory test results show that product is nonconforming, the 

product shall be withheld from final assembly and subject to return and replacement by the component Contractor, even if previously 

approved by the Government inspector.)

(c) Reliability conditions.

 (1) To be considered reliable, the Contractor’s testing system shall produce results comparable to the Government test results; unless 

the Government agency having jurisdiction has inspected the item produced at the Contractor’s plant within the previous 120 days. 

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 17 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

Unless otherwise specified in this contract, the Government inspector will select samples randomly from the first three lots of end items 

presented for inspection and will conduct verification testing on a skip-lot basis. Skip-lot verification is done by random selection of 

samples from not less than one lot in six consecutive lots presented for inspection. The sampling procedure under skip-lot places the 

succeeding lots not chosen for inspection back into the universe available for subsequent inspection. (For instance, starting with a 

group of six lots (i.e., 1-6), one lot is randomly selected for inspection. If lot 4 is selected, the next samples will be selected from lots 5, 

6, 7, 8, 9, or 10. If lot 8 is selected, the next samples will be selected from lots 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, or 14; and so on.)

 (2) Contractor’s testing system shall be considered unreliable when (i) the Government verification results indicate product 

nonconformance to contract requirements; and (ii) a significant disparity exists between Government laboratory results and Contractor 

test results. When a Contractor’s testing system is determined to be unreliable, compliance testing will revert to the Government, and all 

items shall be inspected by the Government prior to shipment.

 (3) Contractor’s testing system will be considered doubtful when (i) a significant disparity exists between Government laboratory 

results and Contractor test results; (ii) the Government test results indicate significantly poorer quality than the Contractor’s; and (iii) the 

Government laboratory test results do not indicate product nonconformance to a statistically significant degree. When the Contractor’s 

testing system is considered doubtful, verification testing will be performed on each lot produced; however, the Government will 

continue to permit the Contractor to ship based on its own test results.

 (4) Contractor testing system reliability will be determined by applying recognized statistical tests to the Contractor’s and

Government’s test results. These determinations shall be accomplished by the DLA Troop Support, Directorate of Subsistence, Product 

Services Office, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania 19111-5092.

 (5) The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of any change in reliability status. Notification will include details of the statistical 

determinations and test results used in reliability studies. Telephonic notification and copies of these determinations will be provided to 

the Government by DLA Troop Support FTRE.

(d) Procedures. When the Contractor elects to perform testing, the following shall apply:

 (1) Reporting of Contractor’s results. Test reports for each lot of end item and components shall be submitted in the format contained 

in this clause by the Contractor in an original and one copy to the designated Government inspector. The inspector will forward one 

completed copy to DLA Troop Support FTRE.

 (2) Verification actions. The Government will perform verification testing for food items and component material required by the 

contract to assure that the Contractor’s testing results are reliable. Verification samples will be accompanied by a Department of 

Defense (DD) form 1222, Request for and Results of Tests. The Government laboratory that performs the tests will provide copies of 

the test results to the Government inspector and to DLA Troop Support FTRE. The Government laboratory will telephone the results to 

DLA Troop Support HS (215-737-4259) when testing identifies nonconformance. The Government reserves the right to (i) increase the 

rate or amount of verification testing up to and including full lot-by-lot testing, in the event the Contractor does not furnish reliable test 

results or certificates; or (ii) obtain additional data when significant disparities exist between the Contractor’s results and the results of 

the Government laboratory testing. When any element of the Contractor testing system is determined unreliable, the Government may 

consider the testing system as a whole unreliable and return to full lot-by-lot verification for every test. Testing by the Government will 

continue until such time as the Contractor’s reliability is again established.

 (3) Standby test samples. The Government reserves the right to withdraw and hold standby test samples of component or finished 

product or both (the quantity of which shall be the next larger available sample size required for unit testing and the same sample size 

required for composite testing) for inspection purposes. Unused samples will be returned to the Contractor.

(e) Charges applicable to unreliable test status. The prime Contractor shall be charged the costs of lot-by-lot inspection during the 

period that its testing system is considered unreliable. These charges will be processed and approved by the Contracting Officer.

(f) Format for Contractor/subcontractor test report.

conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors 

considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(i) technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; the Government 

requests PDMs and will evaluate the PDMs for compliance with the item descriptions and product 

specifications and will also evaluate the sensory attributes of the food product to include appearance, 

odor, flavor, and texture using the recognized 9-point quality rating scale to determine product quality. 

The PDMs will be evaluated by Natick and will be rated “ACCEPTABLE” if it meets the requirement of 

the item description and its Quality Scale result from Natick is equal or above 6. Approval or 

acceptance of a PDM shall not constitute a waiver of any specification requirement unless specifically 

stated by the Contracting Officer. The 12 acceptable PDMs will be used as production standards.

If negotiations are conducted, offerors having unacceptable PDMs (Quality Scale is lower than 6) will 

be given an opportunity to correct deficient PDMs. The final rating will be based on second submission 

(if negotiations are conducted) and it must be rated “ACCEPTABLE” otherwise the final proposal will be 

rejected.

A Food Defense Plan 

(ii) price; low price technically acceptable

(iii) past performance (see FAR 15.304);

the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the 

option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise 

the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror 

within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by 

either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an 

offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received 

before award.

simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals--

against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a 

Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the 

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 27 OF 47 PAGES

 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making

false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; and

(3) [_] Are, [_] are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission 

of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and

(4) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an 

amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is 

not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial 

challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been 

exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay 

the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where 

enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the 

taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not 

a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the

taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer 

has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office 

of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain 

the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability 

because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax 

because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax 

liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is 

making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent 

because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced 

collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must 

list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring 

Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).]

or manufactured in the corresponding country as listed for that product.

[_] (ii) The offeror may supply an end product listed in paragraph (i)(1) of this provision that was mined, produced, or

end product furnished under this contract. On the basis of those efforts, the offeror certifies that it is not aware of any 

such use of child labor.

(j) Place of manufacture. (Does not apply unless the solicitation is predominantly for the acquisition of manufactured end products.) For 

statistical purposes only, the offeror shall indicate whether the place of manufacture of the end products it expects to provide in 

response to this solicitation is predominantly—

States exceeds the total anticipated price of offered end products manufactured outside the United States); or 

(2) [_] Outside the United States.

(k) Certificates regarding exemptions from the application of the Service Contract Labor Standards. (Certification by the offeror as to its 

compliance with respect to the contract also constitutes its certification as to compliance by its subcontractor if it subcontracts out the 

exempt services.) [The contracting officer is to check a box to indicate if paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) applies.]

(1) [_] Maintenance, calibration, or repair of certain equipment as described in FAR 22.1003-4(c)(1). The offeror [_] does [_]

the course of normal business operations;

(see FAR 22.1003-4(d)(2)(iii));

(iii) Each service employee who will perform the services under the contract will spend only a small portion of his or 

her time (a monthly average of less than 20 percent of the available hours on an annualized basis, or less than 20 

percent of available hours during the contract period if the contract period is less than a month) servicing the 

Government contract; and

(iv) The compensation (wage and fringe benefits) plan for all service employees performing work under the contract is 

the same as that used for these employees and equivalent employees servicing commercial customers.

(3) If paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause applies—

(i) If the offeror does not certify to the conditions in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) and the Contracting Officer did not 

attach a Service Contract Labor Standards wage determination to the solicitation, the offeror shall notify the 

Contracting Officer as soon as possible; and

(ii) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror if the offeror fails to execute the certification in 

paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause or to contact the Contracting Officer as required in paragraph (k)(3)(i) of this 

clause.

(l) Taxpayer identification number (TIN) (26 U.S.C. 6109, 31 U.S.C. 7701). (Not applicable if the offeror is required to provide this

of Provisions and Clauses, through either the HTML or PDF Format links.

The following paragraph(s) of 52.212-4 are amended as indicated below:

1. Paragraph (a), Inspection/Acceptance, is revised to add FAR clause 52.246-2, Inspection of

Supplies – Fixed Price. FAR 52.246-2 expands the definition of “Supplies,” to include, but not limit to, raw materials, components,

clause is contained in full text elsewhere in the solicitation.

2. Paragraph (c), Changes, is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(c) Changes.

 The Contracting Officer may at any time, by unilateral written order, make changes within the general scope of this contract in 

any one or more of the following:

(i) Method of shipment or packing;

(ii) Place, manner, or time of delivery.

 (2) If such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or time required for,

 performance for any part of the work under this contract, the Contracting Officer shall make equitable adjustment in the contract price, 

the delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify the contract.

 (3) The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of the 

written order. However, if the Contracting Officer decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a 

proposal submitted before final payment of the contract.

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019

 (4) Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes Clause. However, nothing in this clause shall 

excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the contract.

3. Paragraph (m), Termination for Cause is deleted and replaced with the following:

(m) Termination for Cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default 

by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government upon 

request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to 

the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and 

all rights and remedies provided by law. If this contract is terminated in whole or in part for cause, and the supplies or services covered 

by the contract so terminated are repurchased by the Government, the Government will incur administrative costs in such repurchases. 

The Contractor and the Government expressly agree that, in addition to any excess costs of repurchase, or any other damages 

resulting from such default, the Contractor shall pay, and the Government shall accept, the sum of $1,350.00 as payment in full for the 

administrative costs of such repurchase. This assessment of damages for administrative costs shall apply for any termination for cause 

following which the Government repurchases the terminated supplies or services together with any incidental or consequential 

damages incurred because of the termination. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, 

such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

4. Paragraph (o), Warranty is deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

(a) Definitions.

"Acceptance," as used in this clause, means the act of an authorized representative of the Government by 

which the Government assumes for itself, or as an agent of another, ownership of existing supplies, or 

approves specific services as partial or complete performance of the contract.

"Correction," as used in this clause, means the elimination of a defect.

"Supplies," as used in this clause, means the end item furnished by the Contractor and related services 

required under the contract. The word does not include "data".

(b) Contractor's obligations.

(1) Notwithstanding inspection and acceptance by the Government of supplies furnished under this contract, 

or any condition of this contract concerning the conclusiveness thereof, the Contractor warrants that for 6 

months after receipt of supplies at destination or, in the case of supplies required to bear an expiration date, for 

the expiration date indicated in the labeling thereof, all supplies furnished

(i) Are of a quality to pass without objection in the trade under the contract description;

(ii) Are fit for the ordinary purposes for which the supplies are used;

(iii) Are within the variations permitted by the contract, and are of an even kind, quality and quantity within each 

unit and among all units;

(iv) Are adequately contained, packaged, and marked as he contract may require; and

(v) Conform to the promises or affirmations of fact made on the container.

(2) When return of the supplies to the contractor and redelivery, if applicable, is required, transportation 

charges and responsibility for the supplies while in transit shall be borne by the contractor. Contractor shall 

also be liable for:

(i) Handling costs and incidental charges incurred by the Government in the preparation of the above 

described supplies for return to the contractor and in return of said supplies to storage, after redelivery by the 

contractor; and

(ii) For cost of Government examination of the corrected or replaced supplies computed and charged at the flat 

rate of $49.28 per hour.

(3) Any supplies or parts thereof, corrected or furnished in replacement under this clause, shall also be subject 

to the terms of this clause to the same extent as supplies initially delivered. The warranty, with respect to 

supplies or parts thereof, shall be equal in duration to that in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause and shall run from 

the date of receipt of the corrected or replaced supplies at destination.

(c) Remedies available to the government.

(1) Notice Requirement: The Contracting Officer shall give written notice to the contractor of any breach of 

warranties in paragraph (b)(1) of this clause within 7 days from receipt of supplies at destination or, in the case 

of supplies required to bear an expiration date, no later than one month following the expiration date indicated 

in the labeling.

CONTINUATION SHEET REFERENCE NO. OF DOCUMENT BEING CONTINUED: PAGE 32 OF 47 PAGES

SPE3S1-16-Q-0019
 CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE

(2) Conformance of supplies or parts thereof subject to warranty action shall be determined in accordance with 

the inspection and acceptance procedures contained in the contract except as provided herein. If the contract 

provides for sampling, the Contracting Officer may group any supplies delivered under this contract. The size 

of the sample shall be that required by the sampling procedure specified in the contract for the quantity of 

supplies on which warranty action is proposed, except when projecting sampling results. Warranty sampling 

results may be projected over supplies in the same shipment or other supplies contained in other shipments 

even though all of such supplies are not present at the point of reinspection and regardless of whether such 

supplies have been issued or consumed, provided (1) the supplies from which the samples were drawn are 

reasonably representative of the quantity on which warranty action is proposed, and (2) the defects found in 

the sample size are sufficient to reject the quantity of supplies on which warranty action is proposed, even 

though the sample size may be less than that required for such quantity. The original inspection lots need not 

be reconstituted, nor shall the Contracting Officer be required to use the same lot size as on original 

inspection. Within a reasonable time after the notice, the Contracting Officer may exercise one or more of the 

following options; and also, following the exercise of any option, may unilaterally change it to one or more of 

the other options set forth below:

(i) Require an equitable adjustment in the contract price for any supplies or group of supplies;

(ii) Screen the supplies grouped under this clause at contractor's expense and return all nonconforming 

supplies to the contractor for correction or replacement;

(iii) Require the contractor to screen the supplies at depots designated by the Government within the 

continental United States and to correct or replace all nonconforming supplies;

(iv) Return any supplies or group of supplies under this clause to the contractor (irrespective of the f.o.b. point 

or the point of acceptance) for screening and correction or replacement;

(v) Return or hold for contractor's account any supplies or group of supplies delivered hereunder, whereupon 

the contractor shall repay the contract price paid therefore. In such event, the Government may reprocure 

similar supplies upon such terms and in such manner as the Contracting Officer may deem appropriate, and 

charge to the contractor the additional cost occasioned the Government thereby.

(3) When remedy (c) (2) (iii) or (c) (2) (iv) of this clause is exercised, the contractor is required to submit in 

writing and within 30 days after receipt of notice of such invocation a schedule for either:

(i) Correction and/or replacement of all defective supplies and subsequent redelivery of the returned supplies; 

or,

(ii) Screening defective supplies at each depot involved and subsequent redelivery of all corrected and/or 

replaced supplies.

Such schedule will become a part of the contract delivery schedule upon agreement thereto by the 

Government. If the contractor fails to provide an agreeable schedule within the specified period, or any 

extension agreed to by the Government, the Government may correct the items and charge the contractor's 

account; or, issue a contract for correction of the items and charge the contractor's account; or, exercise one or 

more of the remedies specified in paragraph (4) below.

(4) If the contractor fails to accept return of the nonconforming supplies; or, fails to make redelivery of the 

corrected or replaced supplies to the Government within the time established; or, fails to make progress after 

their return to correct or replace them so as to endanger performance within the time established for redelivery 

and does not cure such failure within a period of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may 

authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such failure, the Contracting 

Officer may exercise one or more of the following remedies:

(i) Retain or have the contractor return the nonconforming supplies and require an equitable adjustment in the 

contract price.

52.215-9023 REVERSE AUCTION (OCT 2013) DLAD

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation. If the 

Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on the basis of initial offers or following discussions not 

using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price 

negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify Offerors of this decision and the following provisions will apply: 

(a) The award decision will be made in accordance with the evaluation factors as set forth in the solicitation. The reverse on-line auction 

will be used as a pricing technique during discussions to establish the final offered prices from each Offeror. These prices will be used 

in conjunction with the evaluation factors stated elsewhere in the solicitation in order to make the award decision in accordance with the 

basis for award stated in the solicitation. 

(b) Following the decision to conduct discussions using reverse auctioning as a pricing technique, the Contracting Officer or his/her 

representative will provide Offerors determined to be in the competitive range with information concerning the auction process. 

(c) rior to conducting the reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may hold discussions with the Offerors concerning matters appropriate 

for discussion, such as issues involving technical proposals or unbalanced pricing. 

(d) Unless auction instructions indicate that only Offeror’s rankings will be displayed, the lowest Offeror’s price(s) for each round of the 

reverse auction will be disclosed to other Offerors and anyone else having authorized access to the auction. This disclosure is 

anonymous, meaning that each Offeror’s identity will be concealed from other Offerors (although it will be known to the Government; 

only a generic identifier will be used for each Offeror’s proposed pricing, such as “Offeror A” or “lowest-priced Offeror”). By submitting a 

proposal in response to the solicitation, Offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, 

including to other Offerors, during the reverse auction.

(e) An Offeror’s final auction price at the close of the reverse auction will be considered its final price proposal revision. No price 

revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are 

needed and final price proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the 

Contracting Officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction. 

(f) The following requirements apply when the Government uses a commercial web-based product to conduct the reverse auction: 

(1) Each Offeror identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by Defense Logistic 

Agency’s commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the Offeror of the event and to provide an explanation of the process. 

(2) In order for an Offeror to participate in the reverse auction, such Offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire 

solicitation, including this provision, and agree to the commercial reverse auction service provider’s terms and conditions for using its 

service. Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service provider’s terms and conditions is embedded 

within the email notification sent by the on-line reverse auction pricing tool system administrator. 

(3) Offerors shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction service provider or 

the Government and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction. Offerors shall keep their own and 

other Offeror’s pricing in confidence until after contract award. 

(4) The reverse auction system currently in use designates offers as "Lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "Not 

Lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the 

first offer of that price as "Lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "Not Lead." Offerors shall not submit a tie offer, 

since this is inconsistent with the purpose of the reverse auction. If a tie offer is submitted and no evaluation factors other than price 

were identified in the solicitation, the "Not Lead” Offeror that submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; otherwise its offer will be 

ineligible for award if their final price in the auction is the tie offer price. If evaluation factors in addition to price were listed in the 

solicitation, tie offers that are "Not Lead" will be considered and evaluated in accordance with those evaluation factors.

(5) Any Offerors unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider’s system during a reverse auction 

must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, 

extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the Offeror’s inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part 

of the Offeror and outside the Offeror’s control.

(6) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website as embedded in the email 

notification. Offerors shall be responsible for providing their own computer and internet connection. 

(7) Training: 

(i) The commercial reverse auction service provider and/or a Government representative will provide familiarization training to Offerors’ 

employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website, and/or 

other means. 

(ii) An employee of an Offeror who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a “Trained Offeror.” Only Trained Offerors 

may participate in a reverse auction. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that Offerors provide an alternate Offeror 

employee to become a Trained Offeror. The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to take away the Trained Offeror’s designation 

from any Trained Offeror who fails to abide by the solicitation’s or commercial reverse auction service provider’s terms and conditions.

The initial delivery order represents the minimum quantity, therefore the Government is under no obligation to place additional orders. 

The Government may place additional orders for the period of performance stated in the purchase order, effective from the date of the 

initial order. All additional orders will reference the basic order. The aggregate value of all orders shall not exceed the simplified 

acquisition threshold (see FAR 2.101); or, for acquisitions conducted using FAR Subpart 13.5, shall not exceed $6.5 million ($12 million 

for acquisitions described in 13.500(e)). The maximum value under the IDPO is stated in the basic order. 

(c) Evaluation of Quotes. If quotes include variable pricing based upon conditions such as quantity ranges, transportation zones, and/or 

option years, quotes will be evaluated by establishing an average unit price. The average unit price will be established by adding all unit 

prices together, then dividing the sum by the number of unit prices. 

(d) Pricing of Orders. When issuing orders, the unit price shall be based on the price from the quantity range that will cover the total 

quantity on the order, regardless of destination. 

(e) Numbering. The uniform procurement instrument identification numbering (PIIN) system will be used (see Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 204.7003).

** **

(a) The Government will award a bilateral IDPO resulting from this request for quotes to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming 

to the terms and conditions in the request for quotes will be most advantageous to the Government, price and/or other factors 

considered. 

(b) The Contractor agrees that it will accept additional orders under the same terms and conditions specified in the basic order. This 

agreement becomes binding upon delivery of the initial order, which is the minimum quantity for this IDPO. The initial delivery order 

represents the minimum quantity for this IDPO, and the Government is under no obligation to place additional orders under this IDPO. 

The Government may place additional orders for the period of performance stated in the purchase order, effective from the date of the 

basic order. All additional orders will reference the initial order. The aggregate value of all orders shall not exceed the simplified 

acquisition threshold (see FAR 2.101); or, for acquisitions conducted using FAR Subpart 13.5, shall not exceed $6.5 million ($12 million 

for acquisitions described in 13.500(e)); the maximum value is stated in the basic order. 

(c) Evaluation of quotes. If quotes include variable pricing based upon conditions such as quantity ranges, transportation zones, and/or 

option years, quotes will be evaluated by establishing an average unit price. The average unit price will be established for an award 

under the maximum value, by adding all unit prices together, then dividing the sum by the number of unit prices. 

(d) Pricing of orders. When issuing orders, the unit price shall be based on the price from the quantity range that will cover the total 

quantity on the order, regardless of destination. 

(e) Numbering. The uniform procurement instrument identification numbering (PIIN) system will be used (see Defense Federal 

Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 204.7003).
