As prescribed in 4.502-90 insert the following provision:
52.204-9001 ELECTRONIC ORDER TRANSMISSION (Jun 2008) - DLAD
Supplies procured through the DLA may be ordered via electronic ordering. Offerors must check one of the following alternatives for paperless order transmission:
( ) Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) transmissions in accordance with ANSI X12 Standards through a registered Value Added Network (VAN).
( ) Electronic Mail (email) award notifications containing Web links to electronic copies of the DD Form 1155, Order for Supplies or Services (orders are stored in Portable Document Format (PDF) and accessing them requires a free Adobe Acrobat Reader plug-in).
Offerors choosing email notification for order transmission shall register their email address on the DLA DIBBS Home Page at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/ as part of the VENDOR REGISTRATION.
Offerors choosing EDI for order transmission will receive transaction sets at time of award. The Contractor shall acknowledge receipt of each order by transmitting a functional acknowledgement or order receipt message within 24 hours, except for weekends and holidays where acknowledgement shall be the next working day. Failure to establish system(s) connectivity for successfully receiving and processing EDI orders within 30 days after date of award may be grounds for termination of the contract by the Government.
Issuance of an EDI transmission or email notification constitutes a binding order. Successful offerors are authorized and expected to commence performance upon receipt.
