The clause at FAR 52.232-19, Availability of Funds for the Next Fiscal Year (Apr 1984): Funds are not presently available for performance under this contract beyond the effective award date. The Air Force's obligation for performance of this contract beyond that date is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the air Force for any payment may arise for performance under this contract beyond the effective date on the contract, or subsequent orders there from, until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for performance and until the Contractor receives notice of availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. 3.

The provision at FAR 52.212-1 Instructions to Offerers - Commercial Items (April 2014) and the attached addendum applies to this acquisition. Refer to addendum below. Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items (Apr 2014) QUOTE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS: The Air Force will award a requirements contract (see FAR 16.503) resulting from this RFQ to the responsible respondent on the basis of an integrated best value determination based on the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-price factors, where a determination of "non-acceptability" for any non-price criteria will render the quote "unacceptable" in totality. A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the quote, the respondents must follow the instructions contained herein. The quote must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this RFQ. Respondents are required to meet all RFQ requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an quote being ineligible for further consideration. The response shall consist of two (2) separate parts: Part I: Price Part II: Non-Price Factors B. All quotes may be submitted electronically to jeffery.porter.1@us.af.mil or alejandro.sena@us.af.mil. Respondents are reminded that pursuant to FAR 52.212-1 timely responses are solely the responsibility of the respective respondent. If submitting a quote by e-mail, only submit one copy and the maximum size of email shall not exceed 4MB. The quote can be split over multiple e-mails and if sending multiple e-mails, ensure subject line contains how many emails have been sent with the text to be used as follows: "E-mail X of Y" (1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.). Respondents should verify receipt of any mailed, delivered or e-mailed quote with the Contracting point of contact. Quotes may be mailed to 28 CONS/LGCA, 1000 Ellsworth Street, Ste 1200, Ellsworth AFB, SD 57706, Attn: TSgt Jeffery Porter. Quotes must be received no later than 1:00 PM Mountain Standard Time (MST) 24 September 2014. C. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination, and if in the Contracting Officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition may no longer exist, respondents may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of the price. D. Point of Contact (POC): The Contracting Officer (CO), Mr. Steve Gustaf, is the primary POC for this acquisition. Written questions concerning the RFQ may be sent to TSgt Jeffery Porter, jeffery.porter.1@us.af.mil, Lt Alejandro Sena, alejandro.sena@us.af.mil, or Steve Gustaf, steven.gustaf@us.af.mil. All questions must be submitted no later than 4:00 PM MST 3 September 2014. SPECIFIC QUOTE PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS E. Prospective respondents shall prepare the quote as set forth in the Quote Organization Table below. The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be within the required page limitation and with the number of copies as specified. Pages exceeding the page limitations set forth in this Section will be removed (after the page limits are exceed, not to include Tables of Contents) from the quote and will not be read or evaluated and may render the quote unacceptable. Table 1.1 (Quote Organization) ELEMENT TITLE MAXIMUM # PAGES # OF COPIES PART I Price 1 One (1) signed original, and one (1) electronic copy PART II Technical 10 Certification Submission, Or, one (1) signed original, and one (1) electronic copy 1. PART I - PRICE (EVALUATION FACTOR 1) (a) Insert the proposed unit and extended prices in the Requirement CLINs Pricing Detail (Attachment 1). The quotes must be submitted for a Mobilization CLIN and a base plus two option years. (b) Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in provisions. The provision FAR 52.212-3 is incorporated and shall be returned along with quote (or if already in the System for Award Management (SAM) excluded). 2. PART II - TECHNICAL (EVALUATION FACTOR 2) SUB-FACTOR 1: Submit certification (annotated on the price list) that respondent has provided school bus services for a minimum of two years within the continuous United States or a plan limited to 10 pages that clearly demonstrates the ability to perform the services identified in the RFQ and Performance Work Statement (PWS), paragraphs 1.2.4 and 1.3.6. (End of Provision) 9. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) applies to this acquisition. Refer to the attached addendum below: Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999) A. Basis for Award: The Air Force will award one contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible respondent whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Air Force, price and non-price factors considered. The Air Force may award without discussions; however, the Air Force reserves the right to conduct discussions if it determines it's in its best interest. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: I. The award will be made to the responsible respondent meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors as listed below that also represents the lowest Total Evaluated Price. Non-price factors (technical sub-factor) will be judged acceptable or unacceptable. Note that the Air Force included in the RFQ a mobilization period, a base period, and two option periods. The Total Evaluated Price is the sum of the mobilization period, base period, option period 1, and option period 2. B. PRICE: The Offeror's price quote will be evaluated as follows: I. An Offeror's quoted prices will be evaluated by multiplying the quantities in the price schedule (Attachment 1) line items by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number to confirm the extended amount for each. The price evaluation will document the completeness and reasonableness of the proposed total price for the offers evaluated. Respondents are specifically advised that under this evaluation method, the Air Force may determine an offer unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items. Prices are materially unbalanced if they are significantly overstated or understated in relation to the actual cost of that work. II. The Air Force will use various price analysis techniques and procedures to ensure a fair and reasonable price. It is expected that the competitive nature of this acquisition will drive price reasonableness and fairness; however, the Air Force reserves the right, if it deems appropriate, to make these determinations by means of one or more price analysis techniques. Upon examination of the initial offers, if in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost/price information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition may no longer exists, respondents may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of price. C. TECHNICAL ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA: Technical acceptance will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. One of the following ratings will be assigned: Acceptable Quote clearly meets the minimum requirements of the RFQ. Unacceptable Quote does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the RFQ. I. Only quotes rated technically acceptable, either initially or after discussions (if held) with respondents (see FAR 15.305) will be considered for award. II. A quote evaluated as unacceptable in part, will be rated unacceptable in its totality. III. Technical information (if submitted) is limited to ten (10) pages (if not submitting certification). PART II - TECHNICAL (EVALUATION FACTOR 2) SUB-FACTOR 1: Clearly demonstrate certification (annotated on the price list) that respondent has provided school bus services for a minimum of two years within the continuous United States or a plan limited to 10 pages that clearly demonstrates the ability to perform the services identified in the RFQ and Performance Work Statement (PWS), paragraphs 1.2.4 and 1.3.6. (End of Provision) 10. The clause 52.222.42 -- Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires (May 2014). In compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards statute and the regulations of the Secretary of Labor (29 CFR part 4), this provision identifies the classes of service employees expected to be employed under the contract and states the wages and fringe benefits payable to each if they were employed by the contracting agency subject to the provisions of 5 U.S.C. 5341 or 5332.

Such orders may be issued from 29 September 2014 through 30 June 2017. (b) All delivery orders or task orders are subject to the terms and conditions of this contract. In the event of conflict between a delivery order or task order and this contract, the contract shall control. (c) If mailed, a delivery order or task order is considered "issued" when the Government deposits the order in the mail. Orders may be issued orally, by facsimile, or by electronic commerce methods only if authorized in the Schedule. 52.216-19 - ORDERING LIMITATIONS Order Limitations (Oct 1995) (a) Minimum order. When the Government requires supplies or services covered by this contract in an amount of less than 140 days, the Government is not obligated to purchase, nor is the Contractor obligated to furnish, those supplies or services under the contract. (b) Maximum order. The Contractor is not obligated to honor -- (1) Any order for a single item in excess of 200 days; (2) Any order for a combination of items in excess of 200 days; or (3) A series of orders from the same ordering office within 365 days that together call for quantities exceeding the limitation in subparagraph (b)(1) or (2) of this section. (c) If this is a requirements contract (i.e., includes the Requirements clause at subsection 52.216-21 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR)), the Government is not required to order a part of any one requirement from the Contractor if that requirement exceeds the maximum-order limitations in paragraph (b) of this section. (d) Notwithstanding paragraphs (b) and (c) of this section, the Contractor shall honor any order exceeding the maximum order limitations in paragraph (b), unless that order (or orders) is returned to the ordering office within 10 days after issuance, with written notice stating the Contractor's intent not to ship the item (or items) called for and the reasons. Upon receiving this notice, the Government may acquire the supplies or services from another source. 52.216-21 - REQUIREMENTS (Oct 1995) (a) This is a requirements contract solely for the school bus services specified in the PWS identified in this RFQ, and effective for the period stated, in the Schedule. The quantities of services specified in the Schedule are estimates only and are not purchased by this contract. Except as this contract may otherwise provide, if the Air Force's requirements do not result in orders in the quantities described as "estimated'' or "maximum" in the Schedule, that fact shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment. (b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. Subject to any limitations in the Order Limitations clause or elsewhere in this contract, the Contractor shall furnish to the Air Force all supplies or services specified in the Schedule and called for by orders issued in accordance with the Ordering clause. The Air Force may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations. (c) Except as this contract otherwise provides, the Air Force shall order from the Contractor only the school bus services specified in the Schedule that are required to be purchased by the Air Force activity or activities specified on SF 1449 Block 15. Consequently, all other transportation goods and services are excluded from this contract. E.g., the 28th Logistics Readiness Squadron's bus operations are exempted from this contract. (d) The Air Force is not required to purchase from the Contractor requirements in excess of any limit on total orders under this contract. (e) If the Government urgently requires delivery of any quantity of an item before the earliest date that delivery may be specified under this contract, and if the Contractor will not accept an order providing for the accelerated delivery, the Government may acquire the urgently required goods or services from another source. (f) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor's and Government's rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract's effective period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract after 30 June 2017. 11.
