PLEASE NOTE: This solicitation contains two separate and distinct portions that will result in two separate awards. For the purposes of efficiency, these portions are being combined in one solicitation rather than issuing separate solicitations for each portion. The minimum and annual ordering limitation quantities are set forth below. The quantities for Portion 01 represent 50% of the total annual estimated quantity for this item and Portion 02 represents 50% of the annual estimated quantity for this item. A single contract will be awarded for each portion based on the evaluation criteria set forth below. However, no offeror will receive an award for both portions. The award for Portion 01 will be made before the award for Portion 02. To ensure that multiple sources are available, and to ensure the continuous availability of reliable sources of supply, the offeror who is selected as the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer for Portion 01 will be eliminated from competition on Portion 02 based on the authority in FAR 6.202(a)(4). Orders will be issued under each separate contract in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract and without notice to, or consideration of, any other contractor or consideration of the terms and conditions of any other contract. The fair opportunity provisions of FAR 16.505(b) will not be applicable to orders under the resulting contracts. The awards under this solicitation will be for two, Firm Fixed Price, Indefinite Delivery Type Contracts. Both portions are set aside for small businesses. Finally, the resultant contracts will each be for a base year and two (2) one-year term options.

It is anticipated that this solicitation will be posted to the DLA Internet Bid Board System (DIBBS) during or after October, 2015. All offerors MUST be registered in the System for Award Management (www.sam.gov) in order to be eligible for award. All responsible sources may submit offers which shall be considered if received timely. -------- IMPORTANT NOTICE: NEW REQUIREMENT -------- Due to a DOD regulation requiring "identity certificates" when accessing DOD computer systems, VIM-ASAP (https://vim.dla.mil) will soon become Common Access Card (CAC) enabled. This means that in order to access the system a company representative must have an ECA Certificate. There is a cost involved in obtaining a certificate (approximately $125.00 to $150.00 per year per certificate). VIM is scheduled to begin using the new logon from 8/23/2013 through 9/30/2013. After that date, no one may log on using the old user ID and password. DoDI 8520.2 Mandates the use of DoD PKI identity certificates when accessing DoD information systems. The DoD established the External Certification Authority (ECA) program to support the issuance of DoD- approved certificates to industry partners and other external entities and organizations. ECA certificates enable contractors to securely communicate with the DoD and authenticate themselves to DoD Information Systems. ECA Certificates are individually issued digital identity credentials. The DoD relies upon these credentials to ensure the identity of the user in online environments or when a certificate holder tries accessing DoD Information Systems. The following are the three entities authorized by the DoD to issue ECA Certificates. Review and apply for an ECA Certificate from one of the below organizations to access your VIM account: 1. IdenTrust: http://www.identrust.com/certificates/eca/index.html 2. ORC (Operational Research Consultants): http://eca.orc.com/ 3. VeriSign: https://eca.verisign.com/ There are three types of certificates: Medium Assurance, Medium Token Assurance, Medium Hardware Assurance. If one person always signs in from the same computer they can use the Medium Assurance which gets loaded to a hard drive. If one person logs on from different computers they should use the Medium Token Assurance which is portable, similar to a thumb drive. Only one person can use an ECA certificate. Each user will need their own. Each person who needs to access the system will need one. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Availability of solicitations: FAR 5.102(d) applies, as our office no longer issues solicitations or amendments in paper form. Interested offerors can obtain a copy of the solicitation after the issuance date at: https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. Detailed system requirements and instructions for registration can be found on the DLA DIBBS home page accessed on https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/. A few highlights of the information that will be found include: 1. On the DLA Internet Bulletin Board System (DIBBS) home page, click the VENDOR REGISTRATION link to begin the registration process. 2. In order to register for access to secure portions of DLA DIBBS, the company you are representing must already be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system. 3. A Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code registration will be processed immediately. A User ID will appear on the registration screen and a password will be sent separately to the email address of the Super User. If a CAGE is already registered on DLA DIBBS, the name and email address of the Super User will be provided. The Super User should be contacted to set-up additional accounts, logons and passwords for their CAGE. DIBBS Super User * If your CAGE has already been registered on DIBBS, the name and email address of the person designated as your super user will be provided. * The representative who starts the DIBBS registration process has the option to accept their CCR registration POC as the DIBBS super user, or they can designate themselves or another person to act as the super user for the CAGE. * The super user acts as the account administrator for a CAGE. They can add up to ninety-eight additional users, provide user IDs and passwords, modify existing users, and control the login status of each user for their CAGEs through My Account (Account Maintenance). ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- DLA Troop Support has developed a web-based system that allows manufacturers the ability to request specifications, patterns and drawings on our contracting page. To request technical data for DLA Troop Support Clothing and Textiles solicitations, use the following link to the DLA Troop Support C&T Technical Data Repository area at http://www.troopsupport.dla.mil/Portal/sreqfrm.aspx. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Defense appropriations and authorization acts and other statutes (including what is commonly referred to as "The Berry Amendment") impose restrictions on the DoD's acquisition of foreign products and services. Generally, Clothing and Textile items (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7012) and "specialty metals" (as defined in DFARS clause 252.225-7014), including the materials and components thereof (other than sensors, electronics, or other items added to, and not normally associated with clothing), must be grown, reprocessed, reused, melted or produced in the United States, its possessions or Puerto Rico, unless one of the DFARS 225.7002-2 exceptions applies.
