As prescribed in 47.305-2(b)(90), insert the following provision:

EVALUATION OF OFFERS INVITED FOR BOTH F.O.B. ORIGIN AND F.O.B. DESTINATION (JAN 2008) - DLAD

(a) F.O.B. ORIGIN AND/OR DESTINATION

Offers are invited on the basis of both F.O.B. ORIGIN and F.O.B. DESTINATION, and the Government will award on such basis as the Contracting Officer determines to be most advantageous to the Government. An offer on the basis of F.O.B. ORIGIN only or F.O.B. DESTINATION only is acceptable, but will be evaluated on the basis submitted.

(b) F.O.B. ORIGIN offers are sometimes herein designated as Bid A. F.O.B. DESTINATION offers are sometimes herein designated as Bid B.

(c) The low F.O.B. ORIGIN (Bid A) offer, by item, will be determined as follows:

(1) Multiply the unit price offered by the total estimated or stated quantity shown in the schedule.

(2) Add to the amount obtained in paragraph (c)(1)above, the freight, calculated on the basis of the estimated quantity and tentative destination specified in the schedule, but using a freight rate applicable to _______% of the total estimated quantity set forth in the schedule. For this purpose:

(i) For evaluating offers, the following tentative destinations shall apply:

Item Number

Tentative Destinations

(Will be indicated in the solicitation)

(ii) [ ] If checked, offers will be evaluated based on the following estimated shipping weight:

Item Number

Weight Per Unit

(Will be indicated in the solicitation)

(3) Additional evaluation factors, if any, required to be considered by this solicitation will be added to the amount obtained in subparagraph (c)(2) above.

(d) The low F.O.B. DESTINATION (Bid B) offer will be determined by multiplying the unit price bid by total estimated quantity.

(e) Award shall be made either on an F.O.B. ORIGIN or F.O.B. DESTINATION basis with the low offeror determined in accordance with the above formulas and subparagraph (a). Notwithstanding the method of evaluation provided for herein, the price specified in each delivery order shall correspond to the price offered.

The following paragraph (f) applies only if preceded by an “X” in the block provided in the solicitation:

[ ] (f) Except as may be otherwise provided in the set-aside notice, award under the set-aside shall be at the same unit prices by item awarded to the successful Offeror on the non-set-aside portion, adjusted to reflect transportation, rent free use of Government property and other cost factors which were considered in evaluating offers on the non-set- aside portion. The set-aside award prices shall be subject to the same discount terms as the non-set-aside award prices.

Alternate I (APR 2008). As prescribed in 47.305-2(b)(90), for use when soliciting separate prices for different quantity levels or increments. Replace paragraphs (c)(d)(e)(f) of the basic and add (g) and (h):

Replace paragraphs (c)(d)(e)(f) with (c)(d)(e)(f) below & add (g) and (h):

(c) Offers will be evaluated and awards made on all-or-none basis by item. An Offeror must submit a price for all quantity increments specified in the schedule for each item on which he wishes to submit an offer. If the Offeror desires to offer the same unit price for all quantity increments of an item he may state that the same unit price applies to all quantity increments of that item instead of repeating the same unit price in all columns. If the Offeror does not desire to offer the same unit price for all quantity increments of an item, he must insert a unit price for each quantity increment for that item.

(d) Prices offered must be unit prices. Each unit price offered must represent the full and complete price for the described unit of supply, inclusive of preservation, packaging, packing, set up and such other processing as may be required by this solicitation. FAILURE TO OFFER UNIT PRICES ON ALL QUANTITY INCREMENTS OF AN ITEM IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS STATED ABOVE, MAY RESULT IN THE REJECTION OF THE OFFER FOR THAT ITEM.

(e) The low F.O.B. ORIGIN (Bid A) offer for each item will be determined by the weighted average unit price calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(1) With respect to each quantity increment:

(i) Add to the unit price the freight cost per unit. For this purpose the following shall apply:

(A) The freight rate used shall be based on the median of the quantity range specified for the increment (and on the tentative destination specified for the item). Where an increment is expressed in terms which cannot be related to a quantity range with a fixed maximum quantity, then the quantity to be used shall be the lowest quantity specified. For example, if an increment were expressed in terms of "over 25,000" the quantity to be used would be 25,000.

(B) The term "Freight" shall include all evaluation factors relative to transportation.

(C) For evaluating offers, the following tentative destinations shall apply:

Item Number

Tentative Destinations

(Will be indicated in the solicitation)

(D) [ ] If checked, offers will be evaluated based on the following estimated shipping weight:

Item Number

Weight Per Unit

(Will be indicated in the solicitation)

(ii) The quantity increments set forth in the schedule are designated increments __________ and __________ and are assigned weighted values of _________ and __________ respectively. With respect to each quantity increment, multiply the price as adjusted in subparagraph (c)(1)(i) above by the assigned weighted values.

(2) Add the results obtained in subparagraph (e)(1)(ii) above for all of the quantity increments in the item and divide the total by ___________ (the total of the weighted values assigned).

(3) Additional evaluation factors , if any, required to be considered by this solicitation (reduced, however, where appropriate, to a per unit amount based on the estimated quantity) will be added to the amount obtained in subparagraph (e)(2) above.

(f) The low F.O.B. DESTINATION (BID B) offer for each item will be determined by the weighted average unit price calculated in accordance with the following formula:

(1) With respect to each quantity increment, multiply the unit offered therefore by the weighted value (i.e., number assigned thereto as shown in subparagraph (e)(1)(ii) above).

(2) Add the results obtained in subparagraph (f)(1) above for all quantity increments in the item and divide the total by ___________ (the total of the weighted values assigned).

(3) Additional evaluation factors, if any, required to be considered by this solicitation (reduced, however, where appropriate, to a per unit amount based on the estimated quantity) will be added to the amount obtained in subparagraph (f)(2) above.

(g) Award shall be made in accordance with the requirements of applicable law/regulations and at the increment prices offered, with the low Offeror determined in accordance with the above formulas and subparagraph (a). The awarded unit price to be paid under a delivery order shall correspond to the unit price offered for that quantity increment of the item regardless of the number of destinations or stock numbers called for in the order.

(h) An offer which conditions the Government's right to award one item upon the concurrent award of one or more other items shall not qualify for award unless each of the items subject to such an all-or-none condition is low when individually evaluated.
