(SEP 2008) - DLAD
(a) The Government has accepted a Value Engineering Change Proposal (VECP), as identified in the purchase order text (POT), which provides a stated alternative production method with respect to all, or some part, of the item being purchased. Consequently, for a prescribed period, the Government must make a Contractor share payment for each unit it purchases on which the Contractor applies the VECP. To determine payment entitlement for the VECP Contractor, offerors are required to indicate which production method(s) shown below is to be used under any contract resulting from this solicitation and the number of units to be produced by each production method selected.
(b) In selecting the method of production, the offeror is stipulating that all units identified to a specific production method below will be delivered using only the production method selected for that number of units.
(c) The Contractor is cautioned that only units identified to be produced under the method(s) selected in this clause will be accepted on the resulting contract unless such contract is formally modified by the Contracting Officer.
(d) The offeror shall select the production method (Check One) and number of units to be produced under each selected method (Fill-In). Further, if more than one method of production is available under any chosen VECP number, the offeror shall identify the method(s) selected for use.
The offeror hereby agrees to use the following production method (check one):
[ ] Method Using: Specification/Drawings without any VECP.
Number of units to be produced using this method __________
[ ] Method Using Alternate VECP # ____________ with a unit shared acquisition savings
amount of $__________(royalty), per __________.
Number of units to be produced using this method __________
(e) When the offeror selects an alternate VECP method, an amount equal to the VECP shared acquisition savings rate shall be added to the offer price as an evaluation factor beginning with the ___________ unit. However, the evaluation factor shall apply only to those quantities which, at the time of contract award, are scheduled for delivery on or before ______________________.
FAILURE TO CHECK ANY BLOCK WILL BE DEEMED TO INDICATE THAT THE OFFER IS BASED UPON USING THE CURRENT REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT ANY ALTERNATE VECP.
