Schedule of Supplies and Services

The intent of this solicitation is to issue Multiple Indefinite Delivery/Requirements Contracts for Commercial-type Fire and 

Emergency Vehicles used by the U.S. Military and other Federal Government Agencies within the Contiguous United States, 

Alaska, Hawaii, the outlying areas and throughout Europe, Africa and the Pacific. Awards will be made to responsible offerors 

who take no exception to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and whose prices are determined to be fair and reasonable. 

This method of contracting is intended to provide broad, flexible, efficient, long term contracts to provide maximum coverage for 

Fire and Emergency Vehicles along with comprehensive equipment support. Contracts will be awarded to individual contractors 

for their product line of Fire and Emergency Vehicles.

Product lines can include but not be limited to:

>rescue vehicles, brush and wildlands, tankers, pumpers, aerials 

>command vehicles, bomb squad vehicles, hazmat vehicles, glider kits 

>aircraft rescue fire-fighting vehicles, all-terrain “emergency” vehicles

Each item shall be new and the manufacturer’s current commercial product. Each product offered shall include all standard 

components that are offered to the commercial market. Equipment shall be in operating condition, which includes but is not 

limited to having all fluid levels filled to normal operating ranges, when delivered to the destination. One paper and/or electronic 

set of commercial manuals consisting of operator’s instructions, service and repair manuals, and a complete parts list shall be 

over-packed with each item. 

Product lines will also include incidental service and support features for each model. The incidental service and support can 

include but is not limited to operator training, operator certification training, service plans, spare parts support, video packages, 

extended warranty agreements, and any additional value-added incidental services and support features that the manufacturer 

or their certified representative offers. This incidental service and support may only be ordered at the time the new equipment is 

ordered as part of the new equipment order. The services and support features cannot be ordered as stand-alone items under 

any resulting contract. 

Incidental service and support will be solicited as part of the Request for Quotation/ Delivery Order process, as required. 

PLEASE SUBMIT A ‘CD’ WITH YOUR PRICING SPREADSHEETS AS WELL AS YOUR COMMERCIAL CATALOGUES, IN 

ADDITION TO THE HARD COPY REQUIREMENTS STIPULATED BELOW.

CAUTION NOTICE

Items Requiring Special Attention

Although the specific details of the following information may be included within, the following list of items is intended to 

summarize key aspects of this solicitation and resulting contract.

This procurement is a negotiated acquisition issued on an unrestricted basis. The Government intends to award Multiple Fixed 

Price Indefinite Delivery/Requirements Contracts for the purpose of acquiring commercial Fire and Emergency Vehicles.

Offerors must submit a proposal in accordance with the requirements of the solicitation.

For specific details regarding submission of proposals, see provision FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to offerors - Commercial Items.

Offeror’s proposals will be evaluated based on all of the solicitation requirements, including the evaluation criteria listed in 

provision FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items.

After the initial contracts are awarded, all subsequent Fire and Emergency Vehicles customer requirements will be competed 

amongst all contract holders and each contract holder will be afforded a fair opportunity to submit offers on the requirements 

except for items covered by a Limited Source Justification. 

The required delivery schedule is between 30/365 days. The required delivery schedule will be referenced in each Request for 

Quotations (RFQs).

The resulting contract will be for a term of five-years (no options). 

The unit prices for the basic contract items will be awarded on an FOB Origin basis. However, the FOB point is Destination for 

individual Request for Quotations (RFQs). Contract awardees will be required to quote FOB Destination at the time of each 

individual RFQs. All customer requirements will be satisfied on an FOB Destination basis. For items shipped overseas

(OCONUS), where the RFQ does not request “door-to-door” delivery, the FOB point will be the point of loading closest to the port 

of embarkation. The cognizant DCMA office is responsible for designating the port of loading (on non “door-to-door” deliveries).

For RFQs requiring “door-to-door” delivery, the FOB point is the ultimate end user’s destination. Delivery to this final destination

should be quoted accordingly. 

DLA Troop Support will award only one contract per manufacturer’s product(s) or product line.

The solicitation will be open continuously with early consideration for offers received by the initial closing date. Offers received 

by the initial closing date will be the only offers included in the initial evaluation process. New offers may be submitted at any 

time after the initial closing date but prior to the final closing date. The final closing date will be four (4) years after the initial 

closing date. Only proposals for manufacturer’s product(s) or product lines that are not on a contract resulting from this 

solicitation will be evaluated after the initial closing date. All subsequent proposals for duplicate manufacturer’s products/product 

lines will be sent back to the prospective offerors unevaluated. Proposals received after the initial closing date will be evaluated 

after all proposals that were received prior to the initial closing date have been awarded or determined not technically acceptable

At the time contracts from this solicitation are awarded, there will still be existing contracts from solicitation SPE8EC-17-R-0006. 

Because the resulting awards will be requirements contracts, there can only be one contract for each manufacturer’s product 

line. Therefore, manufacturer’s products that are still on contract from the previous solicitation will not be awarded on this 

solicitation until the contract from the previous solicitation expires or is terminated for convenience or cause. 

DLA Troop Support intends to utilize Government Standard Source Inspection and Acceptance Procedures and/or Destination 

Inspection/Acceptance. Destination Inspection will be the “standard”, with Source Inspection being the “exception”. Source 

Inspection will be required for the following instances: Foreign Military Sales (FMS), First Article Test (FAT) requirements,

deliveries to the Port for OCONUS (non “door-to-door” requirements), etc. Note that FAR 52.246-2, Inspection of Supplies – Fixed 

Price (AUG 1996) is hereby included in this solicitation and any resulting contract as is FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and 

conditions – Commercial Items (OCT 2018) paragraph (a) Inspection/Acceptance. The applicable clause will be determined by the 

Contracting Officer upon the issuance of each Request for Quotation and resulting Delivery Order. In the absence of either 

clause, FAR 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items (OCT 2018) paragraph (a) Inspection/Acceptance 

applies.

All delivery orders issued under the resulting contracts will be written/placed only by DLA Troop Support who will be the ordering 

office. 

FAR Clause 52.216-2, Economic Price Adjustment - Standard Supplies is incorporated in full text. The clause provides for an 

aggregate increase not to exceed 20 percent of the original contract unit price. This provision will be in effect for the first two 

years of the resulting contracts. After two years, the contracts will be modified to provide for an aggregate Economic Price 
6

Adjustment ceiling for subsequent years. The economic price adjustments will be made only to the base list prices and not to the 

discount percentages. 

Only two (2) Economic Price Adjustments are permitted per year.

Items may be added to the contract as they are added to the awardees’ commercial catalog. Items that become obsolete or 

discontinued from the commercial catalog may be deleted. Addition of items will require submittal of (2) commercial invoices per 

model being added. Addition of greater than 6 models will require submittal of a “sampling of invoices” (similar to invoice 

requirements stipulated below). 

Offerors must complete the representation contained in DFARS 252.247-7022, Representation of Extent of Transportation by 

Sea referenced in the solicitation. DFARS 252.247-7023, Transportation of Supplies by Sea is referenced in the solicitation and 

will also be included in all contracts resulting from this solicitation.

Offerors must submit a complete proposal including commercial catalog prices for all items and commercial catalog prices for all 

machine attachments and related equipment. The proposal should also include discounts to be offered on the proposed 

commercial catalog prices. In addition, offerors must supply pricing support data relating to the proposed products which 

includes: commercial invoices for items sold commercially, pricing and or discount structure pertaining to commercial 

customers/dealers, and other supporting documentation that can be used to determine price reasonableness. 

 This solicitation requires offerors to submit the following: 

1.) Commercial Price Lists and Discounts

2.) Commercial Catalogs (descriptive literature)

3.) Commercial Invoices 

 

 Note - Refer to 52.212-1 for the full list of submission requirements.

Commercial Price Lists and Discounts: Offerors are required to submit pricing and discounts for each model offered, and to 

include discounts, if any, for commercially available price listed equipment attachments and optional features for each proposed 

model (See Attachment 1).

Commercial Catalogs: Offerors must submit commercial catalogs and/or other commercially offered descriptive literature that 

will be used to determine commerciality of all models, attachments and optional features.

Commercial Invoices: Offerors must submit commercial invoices that will verify commercial sales and discounts offered to the 

commercial market.

OEM’s Letter of Commitment: DLA Troop Support will award one contract per the Original Equipment Manufacturer’s (OEM) 

product(s) or product line. Dealers and suppliers, other than the OEM, that wish to be considered for an award must submit an 

original letter of commitment from the OEM specifically addressing the products or product line, the offeror and this solicitation.

The OEM’s letter of commitment must confirm that the offeror is “the OEM’s sole representative for the contract”. The OEM’s 

letter of commitment must include assurance “to provide the offeror a guaranteed, uninterrupted source of supply sufficient to 

satisfy the Government’s requirements for the contract period”. The offeror must submit the letter of commitment with the

proposal. Failure to provide the guarantees mentioned above will result in your elimination from consideration for award.

Manufacturer’s letters of commitment for the same products or product line from more than one offeror will render all offerors for 

that manufacturer’s product(s) or product line unacceptable and therefore excluded for award. 

This procurement is being solicited on an unrestricted basis. Awards will be made to responsible offerors who take no exception 

to the terms and conditions of the solicitation, meet all solicitation requirements and whose prices are determined fair and 

reasonable. The evaluation criteria for award are contained in FAR clause 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items.

The following procedures will be used in issuing delivery orders:

A fair notice of intent to make a purchase, including an item description of the equipment to be delivered and the basis upon 

which the contracting officer will make the selection, will be issued to all contractors who currently hold Fire and Emergency 

Vehicles contracts on contracts resulting from both solicitation SPE8EC-17-R-0006 and this solicitation except for items 

covered by a Limited Source Justification. The Request for Quotations (RFQs)/E-mail notification will clearly identify the 

customer’s requirements, and include reference to the specific equipment requirements and, if necessary, will clearly identify 

the best value delivery order placement criteria to be used for the specific purchase. This will afford all contractors 

responding to the notice a fair opportunity to submit an offer and have that offer fairly considered. Note that DLA’s customer 
7

will be responsible for determining whether or not an item is technically acceptable. Upon receipt of the offer(s), a delivery 

order will be issued by the DLA Troop Support Contracting Officer based on the delivery order placement criteria specified in

the contract. DLA Troop Support is the designated ordering office. No other government activities may place delivery orders 

against this contract. 

All delivery orders will be awarded based on Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) unless otherwise specified.

Unless otherwise specified in the Request for Quotations/Delivery Order process, preservation, packaging, and packing shall be 

of sufficient nature as to preclude damage to the equipment under normal shipping and handling conditions. In accordance with

ASTM D 3951 (Standard Practice for Commercial Packaging) and MIL-STD 147 such packaging should conform to industry 

commercial and military practices and be consistent with applicable carrier regulations. Shipping containers shall be in 

compliance with National Motor Freight Classification and Uniform Freight Classification. OCONUS shipping must conform to 

International Air Transport Association regulations and the specific delivery order packaging directions.

The contractor shall be responsible for packaging and over packing the equipment in commercial material of the type, size and 

kind commonly used for the purpose and so constructed as to ensure acceptance and safe delivery to destination. A packing 

list/slip containing the following information, as a minimum: Contractor’s name, delivery order number, date of order, itemized list 

of equipment / attachments/ supplies included in the shipment, manufacturers name, part number, quantity shipped, delivery site, 

secondary delivery site, if necessary, and any special instructions, shall be enclosed with each shipped order. The line number 

used in the order will be duplicated on the packing slip.

Any deviation from commercial practice will be specified in the RFQs as required.

Offerors must provide a list of any hazardous material to be delivered under this contract and submit a Material Safety Data 

Sheet for items meeting specific criteria (See FAR 52.223-3 incorporated by referenced and the Hazard Communication 

Standard Notice).

Large Business concerns must submit a Subcontracting Plan with its offer. For further information on subcontracting plans, 

please visit: https://www.esrs.gov.

It is anticipated that there will be Fire and Emergency Vehicles contracts in place as a result of a prior solicitation (SPE8EC-17-R0006) when this solicitation closes. The priority will be to award the new contracts as expeditiously as possible. However, due to 

the existing contracts in place as a result of the prior solicitation and the expected award of new contracts as a result of this

solicitation, this solicitation permits overlap when competing Request for Quotations (RFQs). This solicitation will allow for RFQs 

to accommodate quotations and the resulting contract delivery orders to be made under contracts from either solicitation in order 

to enhance competition to the fullest extent. It should be noted that not more than one contract for a manufacturer’s product(s) or 

product line is permissible. 

Contractors will be required to submit contract retention plans as referenced in FAR 52.212-5(d) and FAR 4.703 no later than 

forty-five days after the effective contract award date. The contract retention plans must be in accordance with FAR 4.703.

CAUTION – Contractor Code of Business Ethics (Jun 2020)

FAR Part 3.1002(a) requires all government contractors to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity and honesty. 

Contractors should have a written code of business ethics and conduct within thirty days of award. To promote compliance with 

such code of business ethics and conduct, contractors should have an employee business ethics and compliance training 

program that facilitates timely discovery and disclosure of improper conduct in connection with government contracts and 

ensures corrective measures are promptly instituted and carried out. A contractor may be suspended and/or debarred for 

knowing failure by a principal to timely disclose to the government, in connection with the award, performance, or closeout of a 

government contract performed by the contractor or a subcontract awarded there under, credible evidence of a violation of 

federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or 

a violation of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733)

If this solicitation or contract includes FAR clause 52.203-13 - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT; 

the contractor shall comply with the terms of the clause and have a written code of business ethics and conduct; exercise due 

diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct; promote ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law within 

their organization; and timely report any violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuity 

violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or any violations of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C. 3729-3733). When 

FAR 52.203-13 is included in the contract, contractors must provide a copy of its written code of business ethics and conduct to 

the contracting officer upon request by the contracting officer.

FAR 52.211-16 Variation in Quantity (APR 1984)

number or state “ALL”] is not in excess of the Contractor’s applicable established price in effect on the contract date for like 

quantities of the same item. The term “unit price” excludes any part of the price directly resulting from requirements for 

preservation, packaging, or packing beyond standard commercial practice. The term “established price” means a price that --

(2) Is the net price after applying any standard trade discounts offered by the Contractor.

(b) The Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer of the amount and effective date of each decrease in any

in the Contractor’s established price, and this contract shall be modified accordingly.

(c) If the Contractor’s applicable established price is increased after the contract date, the corresponding contract unit price shall 

be increased, upon the Contractor’s written request to the Contracting Officer, by the same percentage that the established price 

is increased, and the contract shall be modified accordingly, subject to the following limitations:

(1) The aggregate of the increases in any contract unit price under this clause shall not exceed 20 percent of the original contract 

unit price.

(2) The increased contract unit price shall be effective --

(i) On the effective date of the increase in the applicable established price if the Contracting Officer receives the Contractor’s 

written request within 10 days thereafter; or

(ii) If the written request is received later, on the date the Contracting Officer receives the request.

(3) The increased contract unit price shall not apply to quantities scheduled under the contract for delivery before the effective 

date of the increased contract unit price, unless failure to deliver before that date results from causes beyond the control and

“estimated’’ or “maximum” in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment.

(b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject

to any limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Government all 

supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The 

Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source.

(f) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the 

Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor’s and Government’s rights and 

obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract’s effective period; 

provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after 365 days.

DFARS 252.216-7006 Ordering (Sept 2019)

Addition/Deletion of Items in Contract

The Government reserves the right, with agreement from the contractor, to add to this contract any new or replacement items at 

offeror’s current price (i.e. latest catalog price minus negotiated discount). If any item included in this contract becomes 

obsolete, discontinued, or cancelled as a commercial catalog item by the contractor, the contractor will provide to the 

Government 30 days advance written notice of such. New/replacement items will be added to the contract only after prices are 

determined to be fair and reasonable by the contracting officer. All additions/deletions will be accomplished by modification to the 

contract. This clause is intended to keep the offerors catalog current at all times as it is the Government’s intent to offer the 

contractors’ entire product line at any given time. 

Additional Items- Furnish one commercial catalog page/pages including the price list and applicable discount, for the new items. 

Pages should reflect the effective date. Also, submit at least two (2) commercial invoices for each new item. In addition, submit 

the production location and time of delivery as applicable. Product/spec sheets should be submitted for each addition. If price, 

place of performance and delivery are unchanged from the original, a statement to that effect is all that is required. The 

additional items will be added by inserting the offeror’s new catalog pages, option pages, spec sheets and discount sheets to the 

existing commercial catalog. 

Deletions- The reason for deletion should be stated in writing and supported by company documentation, should the Contracting 

Officer deem such support necessary. The contractor agrees to honor any delivery orders issued during such thirty-day period. 

If the contractor adds a catalog item as a suitable replacement item such notice is to be provided to the Contracting Officer along 

with the replacement catalog pages, option pages, and discount sheets for insertion into the catalog. The Government will 

accordingly delete any such item from this contract after receiving the required notice. The Government reserves the right to 

reject any subsequent offer of a substantially equal or same item at a higher price during the same contract period if in the

opinion of the Contracting Officer, the price for the item replacing the deleted item is considered unreasonable as compared to 

that of the deleted item.

Note: The government reserves the right to request additional commercial invoices at any time (prior to and after contract 

award), including prior to the addition of any new item(s). 

 

RP001: DLA Packaging Requirements for Procurement

(1) Additional Packaging and Marking Requirements:

(a)Prohibited cushioning and wrapping materials: Use of asbestos, excelsior, newspaper, shredded paper (all types, including wax 

paper and computer paper), and similar hygroscopic or non-neutral materials and all types of loose-fill materials, including 

polystyrene, is prohibited for application such as cushioning, fill, stuffing, and dunnage. In addition, the use of yellow wrapping or 

packaging material is prohibited except where used for the containment of radioactive material.

(b)MIL-STD-129 establishes requirements for contractors that ship packaged materiel to the Government to provide both linear

Continental United States (CONUS) to customers within CONUS; 
18

(2) Any item for which ownership remains with the contractor until the item is placed in designated locations at the customer

location prior to issuance to the customer. Government control begins upon placement of the item by the contractor into the 

designated location or issuance from the designated location by contractor personnel (i.e., the contractor is required to stock bins 

at the customer location and/or issue parts from a contractor controlled parts room). 

(3) Bulk petroleum, oil and lubricant products delivered by pipeline; or tank car, tanker and tank trailer for which the container has 

a capacity greater than 450 L (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a liquid; a maximum net mass greater than 400 kg (882 pounds) 

and a capacity greater than 450123 L (119 gallons) as a receptacle for a solid; or a water capacity greater than 454 kg (1000124 

pounds) as a receptacle for a gas. 

(4) Medical items procured through Customer Direct suppliers or prime contractors that do not enter the Defense Transportation 

System.128 

(5) Delivery orders when the basic contract has not been modified to require MIL-STD-129.

(c) MIL-STD-129 provides numerous illustrations of what should be bar-coded and the recommended placement of the bar code.

C03 Contractor Retention of Supply Chain Traceability Documentation (JAN 2020) 

(1) By submitting a quotation or offer, the contractor agrees that, when the contractor is not the manufacturer of the item, it is 

confirming that it currently has or will obtain before delivery and shall retain documented evidence (supply chain traceability 

documentation) that the item is from the approved manufacturer and conforms to the technical requirements. The retention period 

is five years after final payment under this contract. 

(2) At a minimum, the supply chain traceability documentation for the item shall include: basic item description, part number 

and/or national stock number, manufacturing source, manufacturing source’s commercial and government entity code (e.g. CAGE 

code), and clear identification of the name and location of all supply chain intermediaries between the manufacturer to the 

contractor to item(s) acceptance by the Government. The documentation should also include, where available, the manufacturer's 

batch identification for the item(s), such as date codes, lot codes, or serial numbers. 

(3) Examples of acceptable supply chain traceability documentation can be found at: 

http://www.dla.mil/LandandMaritime/Business/Selling/Counterfeit-Detection-Avoidance-Program/ 

(4) The contractor shall immediately make available documentation upon request of the contracting officer. The contracting officer 

determines the acceptability and sufficiency of documentation. If the contractor fails to retain or provide the documentation or the 

contracting officer finds the documentation to be unacceptable, corrective action may be taken including, but not limited to, 

cancellation of undelivered orders or rejection of delivered supplies.

Requirements for Treatment of Wood Packaging Material (WPM)

(a) This clause only applies when wood packaging material will be used to make shipments under this contract and/or when wood 

packaging material is being acquired under this contract.

(b) Definition.

 Wood packaging material (WPM) means wood pallets, skids, load boards, pallet collars, wooden boxes, reels, dunnage,

(2) All WPM shall include certification/quality markings in accordance with the ALSC standard. Markings shall be placed in an 

unobstructed area that will be readily visible to inspectors. Pallet markings shall be applied to the stringer or block on diagonally 

opposite sides of the pallet and be contrasting and clearly visible. All containers shall be marked on a side other than the top or 

bottom, contrasting and clearly visible. All dunnage used in configuring and/or securing the load shall also comply with ISPM 15 

and be marked with an ASLC approved DUNNAGE stamp. 

(d) Failure to comply with the requirements of this restriction may result in refusal, destruction, or treatment of materials at the 

point of entry. The Agency reserves the right to recoup from the Contractor any remediation costs incurred by the Government.

Hazard Communication Standard Notice:

The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has modified its Hazard Communication Standard (HCS) to conform 

to the United Nations Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labeling of Chemicals. As a result of this change, 

Federal Standard No. 313-E was revised to require Safety Data Sheets for classifying chemicals and communicating the 

applicable information on labels.

In accordance with the revised standard after June 1, 2015:

1. Offerors/Contractors are required to submit, to the contracting officer for review and approval prior to award, safety data sheets 

consistent with the requirements found at 29 C.F.R.1910.1200 for any hazardous materials or items containing hazardous 

materials that are to be delivered to the Government.

2. Offerors/Contractors are required to submit, to the contracting officer for review and approval prior to award, hazardous warning 

labels in accordance with 29 C.F.R. 1910.1200 for hazardous materials delivered to the Government.

3. Finally, offerors/contractors are required as part of the new FEDSTD 313E to train their employees on the new safety data 

sheets, hazardous warning labels, and requirements of 29 C.F.R.1910.1200.

For more information on SDS, offerors/contractors should refer to the OSHA website, available at:

STATEMENT OF WORK

DLA Troop Support intends to award contracts for the supply of Fire and Emergency Vehicles to the military services and federal 

agencies. Contracts will be awarded to individual contractors for their offered line of Fire and Emergency Vehicles.

Product lines can include but not be limited to:

>rescue vehicles, brush and wildlands, tankers, pumpers, aerials 

>command vehicles, bomb squad vehicles, hazmat vehicles, glider kits 

>aircraft rescue fire-fighting vehicles, all-terrain “emergency” vehicles

Product lines will also include “incidental service and support” for each machine. This incidental service and support can include 

but should not be limited to operator training, operator certification training, service plans, spare parts support, video packages, 

extended warranty agreements, and any additional value-added incidental services that the manufacturer or his certified 

representative can offer in support of fleet maintenance and lifetime equipment support. This incidental service and support may 

only be ordered at the time the new equipment is ordered. This support cannot be ordered as a stand-alone item. 

DLA Troop Support will award only one contract per manufacturer’s product line. It is intended to issue multiple Requirements 

Contracts to responsible vendors that conform to the solicitation requirements contained within this document and whose prices 

are determined fair and reasonable. After the initial contracts are awarded, customer Fire and Emergency Vehicles

requirements described by specifications, commercial item descriptions, or other commercial descriptions will be competed 

among all contract holders, and each contract holder will be afforded a fair opportunity to submit a quotation. In instances where 

only certain specified equipment will meet the customer’s needs, or only one contract holder offers the required equipment, 

Limited Source Justifications will be executed, and only those contract holders offering the specified equipment will be solicited.

conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the 

terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for 

receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt 

of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and 

returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative 

line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or 

alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

1. Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the 

Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the 

solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or 

revisions are due.

 (2)

2. Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation 

after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is 

made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the 

initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified 

for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of 

offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

 (C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.
25

 (ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, 

will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

 (3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that 

installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements 

of Government personnel.

 (4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the 

Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements

response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via 

facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation 

concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time 

set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without 

discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical 

standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be 

necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and 

waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by 

specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

COMMERCIAL INVOICE PRICING
29

Example: If you are offering at least 6 items from 

TWO different Manufacturer's product lines then you 

are required to submit at least 30 invoices 

(15 per each Manufacturer's product line)

It is requested that all submitted invoices are for commercial items that have been sold under the current catalog price. 

Offerors unable to submit commercial invoices that correspond to the current catalog price may submit other invoices but 

the offeror must also submit the concurrent catalog price list in effect at the time of the invoice(s). All submitted invoices 

must identify a manufacturer’s part number that is referenced in the commercial catalog and proposed under the solicitation. 

The government must be able to perform an analysis of the invoices and the corresponding price list to determine the 

commercially afforded discount, if any. Invoices that deviate from these criteria must be accompanied with supporting 

documentation that clarifies the invoice price compared to the catalog price to determine the commercially afforded discount, 

if any. The documentation must adequately support the invoice price for the base unit and all base unit options that may or 

may not be itemized on the invoice. Invoices must not be altered or redacted in any manner. The government reserves the 

right to request additional invoices at any time during the evaluation process.

5.) Discount Structure: Must identify the standard discount structure for customers and/or dealers. If different discount 

arrangements exist for different classes of customers or dealers, a detailed explanation of the discount for each such customer 

or dealer is required. 

6.) Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) Letter of Commitment: Dealers and suppliers, other than the manufacturer, 

that wish to be considered for an award must submit an original letter of commitment from the manufacturer specifically 

addressing the products or product line, the offeror and the solicitation. The Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) letter of 

commitment must confirm that the offeror is the OEM’s sole representative for the contract. The OEM’s letter of commitment 

must include assurance to provide the offeror a guaranteed, uninterrupted source of supply sufficient to satisfy the Government’s 

requirements for the contract period. Manufacturer’s letters of commitment for the same products or product line from more than 

one offeror will render all offerors for that manufacturer’s products or product line unacceptable.

7.) Warranty Requirements

FAR 12.404(a) requires contracting officers to take advantage of commercial warranties. Accordingly, offerors are requested to 

submit with their proposal an express warranty, offering the Government at least the same warranty terms, including offers of 

extended warranties, offered to the general public in customary commercial practice. Offerors must indicate in their proposal 

whether the express warranty is in lieu of, or in addition to, the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular 

purpose contained in FAR 52.212-4(o).

Any express warranty must meet the following minimum terms: 

1.) The equipment purchased under the contract will be sold by DLA Troop Support to our customers in the Military Services 

and Federal Agencies, and possibly State and/or Local governmental entities. Any proposed express warranty must apply 

to these subsequent users or purchasers.

2.) Any proposed express warranty must cover the equipment including if it is used or operated outside the United States. 

The warranty may not require equipment outside the United States to be shipped back to a domestic facility for repair.

3.) FAR 52.212-4(p) in the RFP states that "Except as otherwise provided by an express warranty, the Contractor will not be 

liable to the Government for consequential damages resulting from any defect or deficiencies in accepted items." Language 

in a proposed express warranty attempting to further limit Contractor's liability to the Government, or attempting to limit 

Contractor's liability to third parties, may result in rejection of the offeror's proposal, or in the inclusion of a statement in the 

resultant contract that the express warranty applies only to the extent not prohibited by law or regulation.

4.) The warranty period must be in effect from the date of purchase or the date of delivery under the Troop Support delivery 

order. Earlier dates, such as the date of manufacture or date of delivery to the manufacturer's dealer, are not acceptable. 

5.) The warranty shall provide that Federal law applies, rather than the law of a State or other jurisdiction.

6.) The express warranty may not make the customer liable for taxes. FAR 52.212-4(k) provides that the contract price 

includes all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes and duties. 

7.) If the warranty requires the customer to return a registration card or form, the customer must be given at least ninety (90) 

days from the date of delivery to do so.

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

any of its principals–

(1) □ Are, □ are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts 

by any Federal agency;

(2) □ Have, □ have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered 

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 

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;
38

(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 the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) 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 appeal 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

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 □ does 

not certify that–

(i) The items of equipment to be serviced under this contract are used regularly for other than Governmental purposes and

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
