The NSN listed on the request for proposal will have a contract minimum

cost or pricing data would be required with any proposals, and if none of
the exceptions to cost or pricing data were found.

option years is anticipated. The total duration, base period plus option
years shall not exceed 5 years. The solicitation for 1 NSN, determined as
commercial of a type under FAR 2.101 (3) (i), will be solicited using FAR Part
12 Acquisition of Commercial Items.
Items are all for DLA Direct (Stock) requirements. When solicited, the NSN
will have quantity breaks. The solicitation will specify
Inspection/Acceptance at Origin or Destination and whether Military
Packaging or commercial packaging applies. Government required
delivery will be annotated on the solicitation.
While price may be a significant factor in the evaluation of offers, the final
decision will be based on a combination of price, past performance,
delivery and any other factors listed in the solicitation.
