As prescribed in 16.506(92)(a) insert the following provision:

EVALUATION OF OFFERS FOR INDEFINITE DELIVERY TYPE SOLICITATIONS (APR 2008) - DLAD

(a) When FAR clause 52.216-21 or one of its alternates is contained in this solicitation, this solicitation is for a Requirements contract. Offers will be evaluated on the basis of the estimated annual quantity. If quantity increments are offered with various prices, the highest price offered will be used for evaluation.

(b) When FAR clause 52.216-22 is contained in this solicitation, this solicitation is for an Indefinite Quantity contract. Offers will be evaluated on the basis of the estimated annual quantity. Unless (c) is checked below, if quantity increments are offered with various prices, the highest price offered will be used for evaluation. If line items for both DLA Direct and Customer Direct are included in the schedule, offers will be evaluated based on the total extended price for the DLA Direct and Customer Direct line items.

(c) [ ] If checked, and subject to the terms and conditions of the solicitation relating to the evaluation of offers, the following procedures will be followed:

(1) When offers are requested on a quantity increment basis, each CLIN will be evaluated for price by:

[ ] applying a weighted factor of 18% to the first quantity increment, 36% to the second increment, and 46% to the third increment to arrive at an average weighted unit price.

[ ] applying a weighted factor of 5% to the first quantity increment, 65% to the second increment, 25% to the third increment, and 5% to the fourth increment to arrive at an average weighted unit price.

This average weighted unit price will be multiplied by the estimated annual quantity that may be procured during the contract period to arrive at a total annual evaluated price for each CLIN. If the solicitation provides for separately priced option periods, average weighted prices will be calculated as described above in (1) for each option period and then added to the base contract period total to determine the total estimated price of that line item for the evaluation.

(2) When quantity increment prices are not requested, offers for each CLIN will be evaluated by multiplying the unit price by the estimated quantity that may be procured during the contract period to arrive at total price for each CLIN.

(3) Prices offered must be unit prices only which are clearly stated and which require no further interpretation by the Government to determine the actual offered price. Prices must not be stated as part of a pricing formula or as charges per lot. Unit prices offered must include costs of compliance with all solicitation requirements, with the exception of additive CLINs. For each item of supply for which a price is offered, prices must be offered for each quantity increment and year. Failure to submit proposed prices in accordance with these instructions may result in rejection of the offer.

(4) In the event first article testing and/or technical data are required for any or all of the CLINS, the cost of such testing and data will be added to the appropriate CLIN or prorated based on the ratio of the estimated quantity for each CLIN to the total estimated quantity of the various CLINs covering the same item (NSN). In the event an offeror is low only on one CLIN (where there are several CLINs for the same item) (NSN), the cost of testing and data pertaining to that CLIN will be added for evaluation purposes.

(5) [ ] If checked, when F.O.B. origin offers are authorized, transportation costs will be considered in evaluation and will be based on the best estimated quantity of each CLIN as specified elsewhere in this solicitation. Carload or truckload rates will be used to evaluate the cost of transportation for each CLIN unless the best estimated quantity would not constitute a carload or truckload. In such case, Less than Carload (LCL) or Less than Truckload (LTL) rates will be used for evaluation purposes.

Alternate I (APR 2008). As prescribed in 16.506(92)(a) Use ALT I when assigning the greatest weight to the quantity increment most likely to be procured for each delivery order. Replace paragraph (c)(1) with:

(c) ) [ ] If checked, and subject to the terms and conditions of the solicitation relating to the evaluation of offers, the following procedures will be followed:

(1) When offers are requested on a quantity increment basis, each CLIN will be evaluated for price on a weighted basis.

(i) To be considered for award for any item, prices must be offered for each quantity increment cited. Incremental quantities within which it is anticipated orders are most likely to be issued are assigned the highest weights.

(ii) Offers will be evaluated by multiplying the designated weight by the unit price for each order increment and adding the results. Only one award will be made for each line item. Each delivery order will be issued at the price offered for that increment.

(iii) The weighted average evaluated price will be developed for each item using the formula stated in subparagraphs (A) through (C) below.

INCREMENT	WEIGHT	INCREMENT	WEIGHT
A	________	D	_______
B	________	E	_______
C	________	F	_______

(A) The weighted average price (for a given item for a given year) will be arrived at as follows:

(Offered unit price) x (increment weight) = weighted unit price (Sum of weighted unit prices) divided by (the sum of the weights) = weighted average price.

(B) (The weighted average price) x (the estimated annual requirement) = estimated annual cost for a given item for a given year.

(C) The sum of the estimated annual costs for a given item for the base year plus any option periods = the total estimated cost for that item.
