Lot 2 includes Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Kentucky. Lot 3 includes Oklahoma, Kansas and Colorado. These requirements must be delivered, F.O.B. destination, to seven (7) locations, divided into three (3) Lots by geographic region. Lot 1 includes contract line item number, CLIN 5, for OCONUS delivery to Japan. Lot 2 includes CLINs 1, 6 and 7, for CONUS delivery within the Eastern United States. Lot 3 includes CLINs 2, 3, and 4, for CONUS delivery within the Central Region of the United States. The requirements of Lots 1, 2, and 3 must all be delivered within 220 days after contract award. This delivery timeframe is a firm requirement for all lots and CLINs. Any proposals offering delivery in excess of 220 days after contract award for any CLIN(s) will be rejected as technically unacceptable for award on any lot(s) containing that CLIN(s). The Government intends to issue up to three firm-fixed price, definite delivery contracts in response to this solicitation, which is being issued on an unrestricted basis. Award decisions will be made on a lot by lot basis. Lot 1 will be awarded before Lot 2, and Lot 2 will be awarded before Lot 3. Offerors may submit offers on one or more Lots in their proposals. However, in no event will an offeror receive award for any lot that would result in a quantity exceeding its capacity to deliver the full requirements of that lot, as well as any other lots awarded, within 220 days after award. All proposals must clearly state the offerors' maximum production capacity (by number of complete containers) for delivery within 220 days after award. In their proposals for Lot 1, offerors shall state whether they are able to deliver the entirety of the lot within 220 days after award. Offerors who lack the production capacity to deliver the entire lot will be deemed technically unacceptable for award on Lot 1. In their proposals for Lot 2, offerors shall state whether they will be able to deliver the entirety of Lot 2 within 220 days after award, and whether they are able to do so if they are also awarded Lot 1. An offeror will be deemed technically unacceptable for award on Lot 2 if it lacks the production capacity to deliver the entire lot, or if it has been awarded Lot 1 and lacks the production capacity to deliver both lots within 220 days after award. In their proposals for Lot 3, offerors shall state whether they will be able to deliver the entirety of Lot 3 within 220 days after award, and whether they are able to do so if they are also awarded Lot 1, Lot 2, or both. An offeror will be deemed technically unacceptable for award on Lot 3 if it lacks the production capacity to deliver the entire lot, or if it has been awarded Lot 1, 2, or both and lacks the production capacity to deliver Lot 3, as well as any other lots awarded, within 220 days after award. Proposals will be evaluated by lot, according to Lowest Price Only method of source selection, as set forth in the clause at FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items. The Government intends to make award to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal meets all terms and conditions of the solicitation, and who submits the lowest price determined fair and reasonable for each lot, within the limits of its production capacity and within the required delivery. Offers will be evaluated on an all or none basis for each lot, which means that pricing must be provided for all CLINs within a particular lot to be considered for award on that lot. Offers that fail to provide pricing for one or more CLINs within a particular lot will be rejected as technically unacceptable for award on that lot. An offeror's total evaluated price for each lot will consist of the aggregate, extended price for all CLINs within that lot, calculated by multiplying the proposed unit price for each CLIN by the total quantity required for that CLIN, and then taking the sum of the resulting extended prices. Pricing discounts conditioned on receiving award for more than one lot will not be considered in evaluating offers. Prices will be evaluated for price reasonableness utilizing accepted price analysis methods, including an analysis to determine whether prices are unbalanced. The Government may use a comparison of offers to each other, comparison with market research, and/or comparison with prior procurements in conducting its analysis. If discussions are conducted, offerors may be required to substantiate the prices offered by providing "data other than certified cost or pricing data," such as cost break-downs, invoices, quotes, or other verifiable documentation from the manufacturer or supplier of the items. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award without discussions with the offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. See also FAR 52.212-1(g). Offerors are advised that the Trade Agreements Act ("TAA") restrictions apply to the resulting contracts, as set forth more specifically in the clause at Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement ("DFARS") 252.225-7021. Contractors must be aware of and comply with the TAA restrictions throughout the period of contract performance. Any deviations from the requirements of the TAA restrictions without prior written approval from the Contracting Officer will be considered a material defect, material non-conformance, and breach of contract, for which the Government may exercise any and all available remedies, including those set forth at FAR 52.212-4(a), at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Consistent with the TAA requirements, Offerors must provide the country of origin and location of manufacture of the final end items for each CLIN in their proposals. Proposals offering end items that are not compliant with the requirements of the TAA may be rejected as technically unacceptable for award.
