SUBJECT: SPRRA226R0701 Letter Request for Proposal (LRFP)
DRS Network and Imaging Systems, Inc.
100 N Babcock St
Melbourne, FL, 32935
ATTN: Ms. Jenny Guthrie
The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is issuing solicitation SPRRA226R0701 to procure the following in support of Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem (IBAS).
0001 Circuit Card, Assembly, NSN: 6130-01-681-827, Part Number: 12571107
This requirement is sole sourced to DRS Network and Imaging Systems, Inc. CAGE 32865 in accordance with FAR 6.302-1(a)(2); “…only one responsible source and no other supplies or services will satisfy agency requirements.” SPRRA226R0701’s purpose is to add IBAS parts to the DRS/DLA Enterprise Umbrella contract SPRRA220D0011’s subsumable contract SPRRA220D0012 for 1 ordering period; ideally, Fiscal Year (FY) 2028 (FY28).
The Government contemplates Firm-Fixed-Pricing (FFP) for this effort in accordance with the overarching basic contract, and requests pricing for one year. This is an RFP for part support requirements generated by the USARMY TACOM and AMCOM Logistics Center (ALC) Project Offices used on the Improved Bradley Acquisition Subsystem (IBAS). The offeror is required to price 1 ordering periods (FY27). Currently solicited item and possibly more items in the future will be repriced again at the end of FY28.
Instructions for the proposal:
The proposal shall be in full compliance with the instructions of this RFP and this RFP is not an authorization to start work.
The basic terms and conditions of the Contract SPRRA220D0012 shall govern the Contractors’ and Governments’ rights and obligations.
Contract Clauses are governed by the Contract unless otherwise indicated, (excluding classified clauses; notices, clauses, and provisions) shall apply to all add-ons, delivery orders and shall govern the contractor’s and Governments’ rights and obligations. No alternative or additional clauses shall be submitted with this proposal. DRS can submit previously coordinated alternates of term and conditions as assumptions to their proposal to assure maximum timeliness of proposal.
Proposal(s) shall remain valid for a minimum of ninety (90) days from receipt by the Government.
Nothing in this RFP shall be construed to preclude the contracting officer from requiring the offeror to supply sufficient information to determine the reasonableness of price, regardless of whether the offeror was required to provide such information in connection with any earlier procurement. If the contracting officer determines that the pricing information submitted is not sufficient to determine the reasonableness of price, the contracting officer may request other relevant information prior to accepting the proposal as adequate and consistent with the solicitation.
The proposal should include proposed order sizes, evidence-based delivery schedules, and price ranges. The Government expects the Offeror to propose only the quantities and price ranges that can be supported and is open to negotiating any items related to quantity or price ranges. The quantities requested are based on a government estimate and the offeror proposal shall support the unit prices for each part number provided.
DRS shall only propose sole source items for this requirement. DRS shall notify the Government immediately if the items or services being solicited are not sole source to DRS.
Cost and Pricing.
At a minimum proposal shall be addressed with the following. It anticipated that DRS’ proposal in response to SPRRA226R0701 will not meet or exceed the threshold for certified cost or pricing data. Should the proposal not require certification of cost and pricing data, the Offeror’s attention is directed at the Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR 15.403-3, relative to the requirements for obtaining Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing (OTCP) data. Upon request the Offeror is required to submit Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data with the submission of the proposal. If additional supporting documentation is requested, the government is seeking a timely response (5-10 business days). Failure to provide Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing data will result in the offer being deemed inadequate and/or deficient.
If using ProPricer System Submission Requirements: To satisfy the requirement for submitting OTCP data, the Offeror shall provide the original, unedited ProPricer system-generated "Detail Cost Breakdown" report. This submission is mandatory. The file must be provided in its native Excel workbook format (xlsx) with all original formulas, columns, and worksheets intact. Do not modify the file in any way after export. The submitted workbook must include, at a minimum, the following tabs:
•P-Sheet
•Direct Rates
•Indirect Rates
•CERs (if applicable)
•CER Factors (if applicable)
The proposal will identify key business unit personnel related to contracting, technical and pricing questions to expedite the question/review process.
Additional Considerations
DFARS Clause 252.211-7003, Item Unique Identification and Valuation may be applicable to items in this Letter RFP.
Containers - The Government did not provide separate Subcontract Line Item Numbers (SLINs) to accommodate items that may require reusable shipping containers. However, if an item requires a reusable shipping container, a SLIN may be added to allow the offeror to price the item with a shipping container. The offeror shall propose the most expeditious delivery schedule for each item.
First Article Test (FAT) may be required, and when applicable, the requirement will be documented at the CLIN level, and priced separately. When required, the FAT report shall be submitted in English. The offeror may submit a Request for FAT Waiver; however, FAT shall be included on the award in anticipation of the requirement on future orders. FAT is not restricted to a specific ordering period and may be implemented with any order during the duration of the contract at the discretion of the engineering source authority. Offeror may submit a request for waiver, although a waiver is not guaranteed.
Production Lot Test (PLT) – PLT may be required, and when applicable, the requirement will be documented at the CLIN level. PLT is not restricted to a specific ordering period and may be implemented with any order during the duration of the contract at the discretion of the engineering source authority. Offeror may submit a request for waiver of the PLT, although a waiver is not guaranteed.
Evaluation Criteria - Minimum technical requirements. To be technically acceptable and thus, eligible for award, a proposal must conform to all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements provided within all sections of this solicitation and/or within its attached addenda. Proposals receiving a technical rating of “Unacceptable” will be ineligible for award. Price. In addition to meeting the solicitation’s technical and quantity increment or range requirements above and cost and pricing requirements below, the Government will evaluate a proposal’s pricing for reasonableness. Evaluation of a proposal's pricing will not obligate the Government to order the estimated quantities or to distribute orders in the manner evaluated. The Government may reject a proposal as “Unacceptable”, if its pricing is determined to be materially unbalanced. Cost and Pricing Data. Offerors must provide all cost or pricing information required by FAR 15.4. Failure of a proposal to provide cost or pricing information required by FAR 15.4 will result in said proposal being deemed Unacceptable, and thus, ineligible for award.
Arms Export Control may be required and when applicable the technical data package will be provided via the DOD safe site, https://safe.apps.mil/ which contains technical data whose export is restricted by the arms export control act (TITLE 22 U.S.C., SEC 2751 ET SEQ.) or Executive Order 12470. Violation of these export laws are subject to severe criminal penalties. Due to current SAM.GOV software constraints, technical data packages cannot be attached to this notice. Interested parties must submit a request for technical data packages via email to contract specialist point of contact listed below. Ensure the PRON number is entered in the subject line of the email. Once requests are received, the technical data packages will be sent via the DOD safe site, https://safe.apps.mil/. Interested parties have 7 calendar days to retrieve and download the TDP from the DOD safe site before the link expires.
Export Control requires the applicable certifications to be current for both the quoter and manufacturer. The offeror and any source(s) of supply it will use for contract performance must have an active United States/Canada Joint Certification Program (JCP) certification to access export-controlled data. DLA does not intend to delay award in order for an ineligible offeror its source(s) supply to apply for and receive authority approval to access the export-controlled data.
For Long Lead Time Items and/or Long Term Contracts, the parties recognize there is a risk that part(s) or component(s) required for performance of the contract/purchase order may become unavailable due to obsolescence. Upon receipt of the contract/purchase order, contractor is responsible for verifying its sources of supply. If at any time during the course of performance contractor becomes aware that it is unable to procure a part or component necessary to fulfill the requirements of the contract, the contractor shall notify the contracting officer in writing within thirty days. Notification shall include contractors recommendation for correction of the problem, if possible, with estimated cost and schedule impact, if any. The contracting officer will determine the appropriate course of action and provide direction to the contractor. In no event will contractor proceed with implementation of its recommendation without written direction from the contracting officer. At the sole discretion of the contracting officer, the contract may be terminated in whole or in part, as appropriate.
Product Quality Deficiency Reports (PQDRs): When requested by the Government, the Contractor shall assist the AvMC Systems Readiness Directorate (SRD) or the cognizant Contract Administration Office in evaluating PQDRs and exhibits for defects reported on components overhauled under this contract to determine the root cause for deficiencies. These defects may be reported from field or depot organizations. A final report should be given no later than 75 days after receipt of PQDR exhibit. Corrective action to prevent repeat discrepancies shall be an integral part of the Contractor’s Quality Program. The contractor shall not bill the Government as a direct charge for cooperation with the Government in the resolution of any PQDRs. If a deficiency is discovered on a component provided as Government Furnished Material (GFM) that has not been identified as part of the overhaul process and cannot be repaired by the contractually authorized technical data, the Contractor shall contact the contracting office to determine if a Product Quality Deficiency Report (PQDR) is required. If required, the contractor shall coordinate with the cognizant DCMA office to have a PQDR submitted or the Contractor shall utilize the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP) to submit a PQDR at https://www.pdrep.csd.disa.mil/pdrep_files/report_tools/pqdr.htm IAW AR 702-7-1, Reporting of Product Quality Deficiencies within the U.S. Army.
All communications SHALL be submitted in writing ONLY and directly to the contract team(s) email addresses identified on the first page of this RFP. DRS shall not contact any other Government personnel other than the person(s) identified. Contacting any Government personnel other than the individual(s) identified above could result in an organizational conflict of interest (COI).
Small Business Subcontracting Plan: The contractor shall continue participation in the Department of Defense (DoD) Test Program for a Comprehensive Subcontracting Plan with the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA). A small business subcontracting plan will not be required by the Government for this subsumable, increment add-on, or delivery order contracts unless the contractor fails to meet the goals outlined in the comprehensive subcontracting plan agreement with DCMA.
Ranges - Offerors are requested for increments or ranges of quantities as listed in the attachment. The awarded quantity, or quantities in the case of multiple items, will be based on the requirements of the Government and the combination of price and quantity per item that is the most advantageous to the Government. The contract quantity range shall be determined by the total quantity at the time of delivery awarded. There shall be no downward adjustment to an already awarded delivery order regardless of if another delivery order is awarded in the same ordering period.
Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) – Economic Order Quantities (EOQs) shall be proposed by the sole source contractor to ensure optimal ordering quantities. The EOQ information requested will assist the Government to avoid disadvantages of quantities and to develop data for the current and future acquisitions. The Government anticipates the offeror’s proposal (in view of market research, historical awards, the nature of the items, and the current economic environment) will include quantities/ ranges that will vary from those being solicited. The solicited quantities are based on estimated annual demands and as such the Government reserves the right to negotiate / award the most advantageous quantities and/ or ranges. In submitting an offer, the offeror is acknowledging that estimated quantities herein are not representation that the estimated quantity will be required or ordered, or that conditions affecting requirements will be stable or normal. The Government has no obligation to reimburse offeror for any costs should this acquisition be cancelled partially or in entirety before award.
Packaging – Standard practice for military packaging shall be utilized (MIL-STD-2073-1). **Please note: The Government seeks DRS’ feedback and information in relation to packaging quality and dimensions of this effort.
