Telescoping Safety Pole W/Hook 1 First Aid Kit 2.0 Ruggedized Carry Case Salient Characteristics: The ruggedized carrying case shall possess capability to keep all tools in an orderly and secure state during storage or transportation. Storage capability construction shall be of a suitable foam type, which is durable, not easily destroyed, and cut to fit each individual tool. Offeror must provide description literature, specifications, and illustration to support technical acceptability. Special attention will be given on using up all available space within the case for tool storage. Overall volume of the case will be evaluated (smaller is desired). SL-3 11058A for NSN: 5180-01-524-7623 illustrates the current acceptable tool layout for this SOW. 2.1 Security: The carrying case will include a locking feature for tool security. The security feature can be either an integrated combination or key lock contained within the case, or the ability to connect a padlock type device to secure the case. The case shall be closed using the butterfly clasps. 2.2 Case Construction/Worksmanship: The quality of workmanship imparted to the tool set and storage enclosure/carry case shall be equal to or exceed what is typically provided to domestically produce commercial products of this type. The complete kit (tools and carry case) presented for acceptance shall have been manufactured with skill and care; shall be uniform, neat, and clean; and shall be free from irregularities and anomalies which degrade form, fit, function, performance or appearance. 2.3 User Interface with Tools: Pliers such as lineman pliers, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, wire strippers and the like grip type tools will be cushion type. Each single pocket or cutout that is intended to hold a tool or component shall be configured to hold the tool snugly and completely. A finger pick relief shall be provided for tools that would otherwise be difficult to remove. 3.0 Ruggedized Carry Case Performance Requirements: 3.1 Crush Resistance: The carrying case, when closed, latched and in its normal resting position shall protect its contents from damage. It shall withstand, without damage or permanent deformation to itself, a load consisting of three other identical fully loaded tool kits (including the tools) stacked on top of it for hours. After the removal of the three other kits, the kit that was on the bottom shall retain its original shape. 3.2 Impact Resistance: When fully loaded, closed, latched and placed in its normal resting position in a room temperature environment, the kit shall withstand impacts from dropped objects. As a minimum, it shall withstand an impact from a steel bar weighing at least three pounds, with a cross section no larger than 3/16 by 1 inch and edge radii no larger than 1/16 inch. This bar shall have been dropped in free fall from a height of 8 feet and shall have landed narrow end down on the lid of the kit. The kit shall absorb the blow (bar impact) without suffering permanent deformation to its general overall configuration. The impact shall not cause penetration of the lid by the steel bar. 3.3 Rain Resistance: When closed and fastened, the kit shall shed rainwater to prevent any water from being accumulated inside the carry case. 3.4 Rough Handling Resistance: A fully loaded kit with tools shall withstand a drop test from a height of 60 inches onto a concrete floor. The kit shall also withstand being rolled over on the floor, 360 degrees, four times, once over each lower edge of the case (when set in the upright position), without displacement of any of the retained tools and without sustaining any deformation or damage to the kit. The rough handling requirement shall be supplemented by the requirement for warranty as stated in the contract. 3.5 Finish: The exterior finish of the carrying case shall be corrosion resistant. The exterior shall have no sharp edges or protrusions. 3.6 Color: The color of the carrying case shall be subdued and either olive drab or black. 3.7 Size: The overall dimensions of the carrying cases for each of the tool kits will not exceed 48? in length by 24? in width by 22? in height. Any case that is smaller than the above dimensions, and can meet the rest of this SOW, will be given better evaluation scores. 3.8 Markings: The enclosure shall have an aluminum name plate with black marking. permanently affixed to the outside of the carrying case. The following information will be included on the name plate: the government contract number, cage code of the manufacture, kit nomenclature and NSN if available. The government representative shall be informed of any kit content substitution as soon as the potential of replacement obsolescence is identified or anticipated. 3.9 Packing Instructions: Each kit should be packed the same and in an orderly fashion. 4.0 Verifications: 4.1 Quality Assurance: Product verification shall be performed in accordance with the following requirements: 4.2 Responsibility for Verification: Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor is responsible for the performance of all verification requirements as specified herein. Except as otherwise specified in the contract, the contractor may use his own or any other facilities suitable for the performance of the verification requirements specified herein, unless disapproved by the Government. The Government reserves the right to perform any of the verifications set forth in the specifications where such verifications are deemed necessary to assure supplies and services conform to prescribed requirements. 4.3 Responsibility for Compliance: All delivered items must meet all requirements of this contract. The absence of any verification requirements shall not relieve the contractor of the responsibility of assuring that all products submitted to the government for acceptance comply with all requirements of the contract. 4.4 Product Examination: Visually and manually examine each of three sample kits per lot to determine conformance with the requirements of 3.1 through 3.10. Visual examination shall include verification of completeness of manufacture and assembly, proper cleaning, and freedom from identified defects. Dimensional examination includes measuring dimensions as specified and weighing the unit. Manual examinations shall include the operation of movable parts by hand to assure proper functioning. Failure of any sample unit to pass any examination shall result in the inspection of each unit of that lot for the failure. Units that fail any examination shall not be offered to the government for acceptance. 4.5 Performance Verification: The performance verification procedures specified in paragraphs 4.1 through 4.10, shall be performed using four units randomly selected from the first month?s delivery quantity. Failure of any of the four units to pass any of these verification procedures shall result in actions necessary to correct the failure, followed by re-performance of all verifications. Only units having incorporated the necessary corrections previously found to be unacceptable during verification assessment shall be offered to the government for acceptance. Necessary corrective actions shall not be construed as an excusable reason for extending delivery dates or restructuring the contract delivery schedule. 4.6 Stack Ability Verification: Four fully loaded kits shall be stacked on top of each other, four high, to verify stack ability. Failure to stack securely, wobbling, or rocking shall constitute failure of this requirement. A fully loaded kit shall be defined as having all the tools annotated in paragraph 1.0 contained inside the carry case. The carrying case, when closed, latched and in its normal storage position shall protect the contents from damage. The case shall withstand, without damage or permanent deformation to itself, a load consisting of three other identical fully loaded tool kits stacked on top of the kit under stackability test for hours. After the removal of the three other kits, the kit that was on the bottom shall retain its original shape. 4.7 Crush Resistance Verification: The four fully loaded chests shall be stacked one upon the other for not less than one hour. Any damage to the kits, permanent deformation, of failure to retain shape shall constitute failure of the requirement (reference paragraph 3.1). 4.8 Impact Resistance Verification: A fully loaded kit shall be inspected for resistance to damage from impacts with sharp falling objects. A steel bar weighing not less than three pounds, with a cross section no larger than 3/16 by 1 inch and with an edge radii no larger than 1/16 inch shall be dropped in free fall from a height of not less than eight feet. The bar shall land narrow end down on the chest. Any damage or effect beyond minor denting of the exterior shall constitute failure of this requirement (reference paragraph 3.2). 4.9 Rain Resistance Verification: Close and fasten one of the kits without the tool load in it. Place the kit in a shower device for five minutes with water flowing directly at the kit from above and from all four sides at a 45 degree angle, in a sprinkle pattern at a rate not less than one gallon per minute, per nozzle, totaling twenty five gallons. At the end of the period turn off the water and towel dry the exterior of the kit. Open the kit and inspect the inside for the accumulation of water. The accumulation of water inside shall constitute failure of this requirement (reference paragraph 3.3). 4.10 Rough Handling Verification: Fully load a kit, close and fasten. Drop the kit from a height of 60 inches onto a hard floor surface. Inspect the case for cracks, breaks, dents or other damage that renders it less usable, including less transportable. Roll the case over on the floor, 360 degrees, so that the case becomes completely inverted, and do so four times, in the four different directions, going over each of the four lower edges. Set the case upright. Open the case. Inspect the tools to assure that all tools are still in their proper storage position. Failure of the case to withstand being dropped without sustaining damage as described above, or failure of the tool organizing liner (foam or pockets) to retain the tools in position shall constitute failure of this requirement (reference paragraph 3.4). 5. Changes to Materials, Processes, or Configuration: The government representative shall be informed of any changes to the materials, processes, or configuration of any characteristic of the units. The government representative shall determine if the reported changes to materials, processes, or configuration shall require the verifications of paragraph 4.1 to 4.10 be repeated. 6. Conformance of Subsequent Production Quality: All products offered for acceptance throughout the life of the contract shall conform to all of the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to re-verify conformance with requirements, at its own facility and at its own expense, at any time during the life of the contact and return to the contractor for warranty replacement such product that does not conform to the specified requirements. DELIVERY/SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS: Prices shall be FOB destination, delivery to COMMANDING OFFICER, ATTN: COMMANDING OFFICER (CODE 884)(M98307) ATTN: TRADES ATEP GPETE DAN TRUETT, MARINE CORPS LOGISTICS COMMAND, 814 RADFORD BLVD BLDG 2235 , ALBANY GA 31704-1128.

EVALUATION PROCEDURES/BASIS FOR AWARD The Government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract using FAR 15.101-2, Lowest Price Technically Acceptable. Award will be made to the responsible offeror who 1) meets all required technical specifications as determined by an evaluation of documentation submitted with the proposal; and 2) proposes the lowest evaluated price. Information submitted by the offeror must provide a description, to include photographs and/or drawings, in sufficient detail to show that the product offered meets the Government?s requirement and contains all items as described in the statement of work. Submitted information must address each numbered paragraph and subparagraph under Section 3, REQUIREMENTS of the statement of work and affirmatively demonstrate how the offeror?s proposal meets each requirement. Proposal must include a visual representation of the Transport Container and a schematic showing the arrangement of all kit components within the Transport Container. Technical proposals must not exceed 25 pages. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Initial offers 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. Offerors are encouraged to use Standard Form 1449, Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items form found at http://www.gsa.gov/forms/pdf_file and submit a proposal. All qualified responsible business sources may submit a proposal, which shall be considered by the agency. APPLICABLE PROVISIONS AND CLAUSES. Proposals received without the completed copy of the provision at FAR 52.212-3 may be considered non-compliant. Beginning January 1, 2005, the FAR requires the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as a part of the proposal submission process. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the FAR required representations and certifications previously found in solicitations. With ORCA, you now have the ability to enter and maintain your representation and certification information, at your convenience, via the Internet at http://orca.bpn.gov. ORCA also allows Government personnel to access your information online, thus eliminating the need for you to submit representations and certifications with each offer. To register in ORCA you will need an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your company?s ID and password into ORCA. Vendors are reminded to protect their MPIN from unauthorized use. Once in ORCA you will be asked to review pertinent information pre-populated from CCR, provide a point of contact, and answer a questionnaire. The questionnaire is to help you gather information you need for the clauses. The questionnaire is not the official version. Be sure to read the provisions carefully. The answers you provide are then automatically entered into the actual FAR provisions. You will need to review and/or update your ORCA record when necessary, but at least annually in order to maintain its active status. Detailed information regarding ORCA, how to submit your record, and whom to call for assistance can be found on ORCA?s homepage at http://orca.bpn.gov/help.aspx. Full text of FAR and DFARS provisions and clauses may be accessed at http://www.farsite.hill.af.mil/vffara.htm and http://farsite.hill.af.mil/VFDFARA.HTM, respectively . The following FAR provisions and clauses apply to this acquisition and are incorporated by reference: 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items (Jan 2005), 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications -Commercial Items (Mar 2005), 52.212-4 Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items (Sep 2005), 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items (Jan 2006)., 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options (Jul 1990), 52.217-7 Option for Increased Quantity ?
