After completion of training, the contractor shall conduct testing of the crane operators to obtain certification that meets applicable OSHA regulations for operation of the 80 ton American-Clyde rail guided portal crane.

Complete specifications and descriptions of the type of training required, and the number of personnel to be trained are contained in the Statement of Work included as Attachment 1 to this solicitation.

Registration may be done on line at: www.ccr.gov. SPECIAL NOTE: The Government is not soliciting for the "same old way" of doing business. The Government encourages proposals that will achieve savings through innovative processes. Furthermore, DLA Distribution personnel are working to eliminate unnecessary requirements and negotiating for a reduction in supplies and services prices. Therefore, your assistance is requested in reducing prices and improving our buying processes. Service Contract Act Wage Determination No. 2005-2001 Revision No. 10 dated 06/13/2011 applies to this acquisition, and will be incorporated into the resulting purchase order. A copy of the Wage Determination is included with this solicitation as Attachment 2. The following FAR, DFARS and DLAD clauses and provisions apply to this acquisition: FAR 52.212-1 - INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS Addenda to 52.212-1; the following paragraphs are hereby deleted from this provision: (d) product samples, (e) multiple offers, (h) multiple awards, and (i) availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. FAR 52.252-1 -- Solicitation Provisions Incorporated by Reference This solicitation incorporates one or more solicitation provisions by reference, with the same force and effect as if they were given in full text. Upon request, the Contracting Officer will make their full text available. The offeror is cautioned that the listed provisions may include blocks that must be completed by the offeror and submitted with its quotation or offer. In lieu of submitting the full text of those provisions, the offeror may identify the provision by paragraph identifier and provide the appropriate information with its quotation or offer. Also, the full text of a solicitation provision may be accessed electronically at this/these address(es): http://farsite.hill.af.mil (End of provision) DLAD 52.233-9000 AGENCY PROTESTS (a) Companies protesting this procurement may file a protest (1) with the contracting officer, (2) with the Government Accountability Office (GAO), or (3) pursuant to Executive Order Number 12979, with the Agency for a decision by the Activity's Chief of the Contracting Office. (b) Protests filed with the agency should clearly state that they are an "Agency Level Protest under Executive Order Number 12979." (Note: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) procedures for Agency Level Protests filed under Executive Order No. 12979 allow for a higher level decision on the initial protest than would occur with a protest to the contracting officer; this process is not an appellate review of a contracting officer's decision on a protest previously filed with the contracting officer). Absent a clear indication of the intent to file an agency level protest, protests will be presumed to be protests to the contracting officer. (End of provision) DLAD 52.233-9001 DISPUTES: AGREEMENT TO USE ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (ADR) (a) The parties agree to negotiate with each other to try to resolve any disputes that may arise.

(b) Before either party determines ADR inappropriate, that party must discuss the use of ADR with the other party. The documentation rejecting ADR must be signed by an official authorized to bind the contractor (see Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clause 52.233-1), or, for the Agency, by the contracting officer, and approved at a level above the contracting officer after consultation with the ADR Specialist and with legal. Contractor personnel are also encouraged to include the ADR Specialist in their discussions with the contracting officer before determining ADR to be inappropriate.

FAR 13.106-2 Evaluation of Quotations or Offers: The Government intends to award one purchase order as a result of this Request for Quote. Quotes shall be evaluated for acceptability only and shall not be rated. Award will be based on the total overall lowest price quoted which meets or exceeds the acceptability standards for the non-cost factors. The following non-cost factors shall be used to evaluate quotes: Factor 1 - Technical capability of the contractor and contractor instructors to meet the Government's requirement as stated in the Statement of Work and Factor 2 - Past Performance. Factor 1 shall be evaluated on a "go/no go" basis. If a quote has been determined to be a "go" on Factor 1, then Factor 2 will be evaluated to determine if the offeror's past performance history is satisfactory. An offeror who has submitted a technically acceptable quote and who has been found to have a satisfactory past performance history will then have its quote evaluated for the lowest price. Factor 1 - Technical capability of the contractor and contractor instructors to meet the Government's requirement as stated in the Statement of Work The minimum criteria for acceptability for this factor shall be the submittal of information that clearly indicates that the contractor and the contractors' instructors meet the Governments' requirements as stated in the Statement of Work, as follows: 1) A copy of the training manual/training materials to be used; 2) Contractor shall have a minimum of ten (10) years of experience in the instruction and operation of portal cranes similar to the 80-ton American-Clyde rail guided portal crane at DLA Distribution Anniston; 3) All classroom instructors provided by the contractor shall be accredited by the Department of Labor in accordance with 29 CFR Part 1919; 4) Crane operator training and testing shall be conducted by instructors that are certified by the National Commission for the Certification of Crane Operators (NCCCO). The failure of the information to show that the contractor and the contractors' instructors conform to the requirements of this solicitation may result in rejection of the offer. Factor 2 - Past Performance By past performance, the Government means the offeror's record of conforming to the solicitation specifications and to standards of good workmanship; the offeror's adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror's reputation for record of reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. Evaluation of past performance will be a subjective assessment based on consideration of all relevant facts and circumstances. It will not be based on absolute standards of acceptable performance. The Government is seeking to determine whether the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely deliveries. Offerors who have submitted a technically acceptable quote will be given an opportunity to address any unfavorable reports of past performance. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The minimum criteria for acceptability for this factor shall be the submittal by the offerors of past performance information from three (3) sources that clearly indicate they have satisfactorily provided training in the operation of the same or similar type and capacity of crane commercially or for the Government within the past three (3). This information shall include the following: a. Contract Number b. Point of Contact c. Telephone Number d. Dollar Amount of Contract e.
