- Description
- C&T Commercial Clothing Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA) Synopsis The proposed Request For Quote (RFQ) is for multiple items (see attached item list for NSNs). �The RFQ will be issued as 100% Small Business set-aside and awarded under multiple BPAs. The resultant BPAs will be for five (5) years. The Agreement(s) do not constitute a contract. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized calls placed against the resultant BPA(s) and shall not be liable in any manner in the event no calls are made. Calls will be made orally, by informal correspondence (E-mail), or through issuance of a formal RFQ. All Calls related to this agreement will be solicited among ALL BPA holders for the same items. Contractor personnel receiving such calls verbally should assure themselves that sufficient information is obtained to prepare the delivery ticket as required by the pending Agreement. The Call will be formalized when a signed form DD1155 is issued by the Contracting Officer to the winning quote. All calls will be subject to the Clauses set forth in the resultant Agreement regardless of if they are stated on the DD1155 or not. Each individual call will be competed among all BPA holders for the required items. Price will always be an evaluation factor for placing calls against the BPA although the Government reserves the right to consider past performance and delivery schedule or both when making an award. This means that award may be made to other than the low priced vendor when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government. This determination will involve a review of Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) at a minimum for past performance. The evaluation criteria will be laid out in the call when sent to the BPA holder. This section is the controlling evaluation criteria under this Agreement and takes precedent over any conflicting criteria anywhere in this Agreement or any contract clauses. � Inspection and Acceptance is at Destination and shipment is FOB Destination.� � All Items must be Berry Amendment-compliant. ������ It is anticipated this solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) on or after April 2024.� All offerors MUST be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).� All responsible sources may submit offers which, if received in timely fashion, shall be considered. All items are commercial-off-the-shelf, part-numbered items.� � Important Note on Foreign Content: The Defense appropriations and authorization acts and other statutes (including what is commonly referred to as ""The Berry Amendment"" impose restrictions on the DoD's acquisition of foreign products and services. Generally, Clothing and Textile items (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7012) and ""specialty metals"" (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7014) must be grown, reprocessed, reused, melted or produced in the United States, its possessions or Puerto Rico, unless one of the DFARS 225.7002-2 exceptions applies. -------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: NEW REQUIREMENT -------- Due to a DOD regulation requiring ""identity certificates"" when accessing DOD computer systems, VIM-ASAP (https://vim.dla.mil) will soon become Common Access Card (CAC) enabled. This means in order to access the system a company representative must have an ECA Certificate.� There is a cost involved in obtaining a certificate (approximately $125.00 to $150.00 per year per certificate).� VIM is scheduled to begin using the new logon from 8/23/2013 through 9/30/2103. After that date, no one may log on using the old user ID and password. �DoDI 8520.2 Mandates the use of DoD PKI identity certificates when accessing DoD information systems. The DoD established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DoD- approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. ECA certificates enable contractors to securely communicate with the DoD and authenticate themselves to DoD Information Systems.� ECA Certificates are individually issued digital identity credentials. The DoD relies upon these credentials to ensure the identity of the user in online environments or when a certificate holder tries accessing DoD Information Systems. �The following are the three entities authorized by the DoD to issue ECA Certificates. Review and apply for an ECA Certificate from one of the below organizations to access your VIM account: ��� 1. IdenTrust: http://www.identrust.com/certificates/eca/index.html ��� 2. ORC (Operational Research Consultants): http://eca.orc.com/ ��� 3. VeriSign: https://eca.verisign.com/ �There are three types of certificates: Medium Assurance, Medium Token Assurance, and Medium Hardware Assurance. If one person always signs in from the same computer they can get the Medium Assurance which gets loaded to their hard drive.� If one person logs on from different computers they should get the Medium Token Assurance which can be carried around like a thumb drive. Only one person can use an ECA certificate.� Each user will need their own (like our CAC card).� Each person who needs to access the system will need one. �-------------------------------------------------------------------- �Availability of solicitations: FAR 5.102(d) applies, as our office no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form. Interested offerors can obtain a copy of the solicitation after the issuance date at: https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. Detailed system requirements and instructions for registration can be found on the DLA DIBBS home page accessed on https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. A few highlights of the information that will be found include: 1. On the DLA Internet Bulletin Board System (DIBBS) home page, click the VENDOR REGISTRATION link to begin the registration process. 2. In order to register for access to secure portions of DLA DIBBS, the company you are representing must already be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system. 3. A Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code registration will be processed immediately. A User ID will appear on the registration screen and a password will be sent separately to the email address of the Super User. If a CAGE is already registered on DLA DIBBS, the name and email address of the Super User will be provided. The Super User should be contacted to set-up additional accounts, logons and passwords for their CAGE. DIBBS Super User * If your CAGE has already been registered on DIBBS, the name and email address of the person designated as your super user will be provided. * The representative who starts the DIBBS registration process has the option to accept their CCR registration POC as the DIBBS super user, or they can designate themselves or another person to act as the super user for the CAGE. * The super user acts as the account administrator for a CAGE. They can add up to ninety-eight additional users, provide user IDs and passwords, modify existing users, and control the login status of each user for their CAGEs through My Account (Account Maintenance).
