The milling machines are required to repair the transmissions of Amphibious Assault Vehicles (AAV). C.2 BACKGROUND The Support Platoon is responsible to repair the AAV transmissions. The machine shop can repair the transmissions, in most cases, with the proper machine tools and software. The vertical milling machine is required to perform the complex machining repairs on the AAV transmissions. Such repairs cannot be completed in a convenient fashion without the Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) software. For the individual Marine to write the code required to perform the manufacture/repair of several different types of repair parts would take weeks. The CAM software will increase productivity by allowing the Marine machinist to set up and program the milling machine within a day. C.3 SCOPE OF WORK The increased capability that the milling machine would bring will provide the Marine machinist in the Intermediate Maintenance Activity the tools needed to maintain the advanced vehicle and weapon platforms the Marine Corps is moving towards. As the technological advancements in weapons, armor and transportation assets continues to keep our fighting forces on the cutting edge, so too must our Machinists have the ability to program complex parts and maintain the tolerance required to produce, repair and fabricate the parts needed by the war fighters.

As prescribed in 9.104-7(a), insert the following provision: Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Apr 2010) (a) (1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that -- (i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals -- (A) Are [_] are not [_] presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency; (B) 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 public (Federal, State, or local) 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 (if offeror checks "have", the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and (C) Are [_] are not [_] presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and (D) Have [_], have not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) 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. (ii) 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. (2) Examples. (i) 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. (ii) 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. (iii) 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. (iv) 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). (ii) The Offeror has [[_] has not [_], within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency. (2) "Principal," for the purposes of this certification, means an officer; director; owner; partner; or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code. (b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances. (c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible. (d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings. (e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

(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.

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.

Submitted proposals must reflect Technical, Past Performance, and Price as described in Section M. It is solely the Contractor's responsibility to ensure proposals are received within the required timeframe. SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD M.1 BASIS FOR AWARD. The Government intends to make award to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror that possesses a relevant, satisfactory performance record. In accordance with FAR Part 12.206 Past Performance will be evaluated. The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror when the offeror's past performance record demonstrates anything other than satisfactory performance. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and select an offer based on the initial evaluation of proposals received in response to the solicitation. Therefore, offerors are cautioned that their initial proposals should contain their best terms from a technical and price standpoint. In accordance with FAR 52.212-2, the evaluation criteria that will be used for/applied to all proposals received in response to this solicitation are: (1) Technical Capability, (2) Past Performance, and (3) Price. All responsible sources may submit a response which, if timely received, will be considered by the agency. All timely proposals will be evaluated and an award will be made without discussion with vendors, unless discussions are determined to be necessary. M.1.1 FACTOR #1 - TECHNICAL. A mere statement that the vendor will meet the Government requirement is NOT sufficient. The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the offeror possesses the capability required to successfully perform the requirements of the solicitation. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors. Technical capability will be evaluated on contract requirements listed in Sections B and C of this solicitation (See Section L for instructions to offerors ). Offers will be evaluated first on price. The lowest price offer will be evaluated for technical acceptability and satisfactory past performance. When an offer is determined to technically acceptable with satisfactory past performance, no further evaluations will be conducted and award will be made to that offeror. M.1.2 FACTOR #2 - PAST PERFORMANCE. Offeror(s) shall submit information as indicated in Section L, Paragraph L.1.2 in this solicitation. Information provided in the proposal shall include similar contracts with Federal, State, and local governments, as well as commercial businesses. Similar contracts are defined as those similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to this procurement. M.1.2.1 Performance Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the offeror's, and (if applicable) its principal subcontractors' demonstrated past performance in delivering quality services and in meeting schedule requirements on similar programs. The performance risk assessment will address the probability of the offeror successfully accomplishing the contract requirements based on relevant past performance. The currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in contractor's performance will be considered. Problems not addressed by the offeror will be considered to still exist. Each offeror will be evaluated to the extent to which they demonstrate satisfactory performance on contracts or subcontracts currently ongoing or completed within the last three (3) years. References other than those identified by the offeror may be contacted by the Government and used in evaluating the offeror's past performance. Past performance is an indicator of how current and/or previous customers assess contractor performance under a specific contract performed for them and address the full range of all functions required to make any contractual relationship work. Successful past performance indicates that a contractor understands and has the resources to successfully execute a contract; however, it does not necessarily mean a contractor has the resources and skills necessary to perform the specific work requirements of this solicitation. Evaluation of past performance will be based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. The evaluation will include demonstrated past performance in quality of product or service, schedule, business relations, and customer satisfaction. The following table identifies the adjectival ratings and descriptions utilized in rating past performance history: ADJECTIVAL RATING DEFINITION Satisfactory Performance MET contractual requirements. Unsatisfactory Performance DID NOT MEET contractual requirements. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Offerors without a record of relevant past performance will receive a "neutral" rating, that will have neither a positive nor negative effect. If there is no record of relevant past performance, offerors must affirmatively state this. M.1.3 FACTOR #3 - PRICE. Offerors shall submit price/proposal as indicated in Section L, Paragraph L.1.3 in this solicitation. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror.
