SURPLUS CONTAINERS ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE FOR THIS REQUIREMENT

LOT AWARD(S)

A total of 2,716 containers will be distributed into three (3) Lots (quantities per lot will vary). Quantity price breaks will be included in each Lot. These requirements must be delivered, F.O.B. destination, divided into Lots by geographic region and color. See below for the delivery location(s) for each Lot:

• Lot 1 is for CONUS delivery to McAlester Army Ammunition Plant (MCAAP) OK., Fort Bliss TX. and Fort Cavazos TX.

• Lot 2 is for CONUS delivery to Tooele Army Depot (TEAD) UT., and Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) WA.

• Lot 3 is for CONUS delivery to Blue Grass Army Depot (BGAD) KY., and Fort Leonard Wood MO., and Fort Stewart, GA., and Crane Army Ammunition Activity (CAAA), IN.

The requirements of Lots 1, 2, and 3 must all be delivered within 270 days after contract award. This delivery timeframe is a firm requirement for all lots and CLINs. Any proposals offering delivery in excess of 270 days after contract award for any CLIN(s) will be rejected as technically unacceptable for award on any lot(s) containing that CLIN(s).

The Government intends to issue up to three (3) firm-fixed price, definite delivery contracts in response to this solicitation, which is being issued on an unrestricted basis. Award decisions will be made on a lot-by-lot basis. Because award will be made for the entire Lot, offeror will not be considered for a Lot if an offer is not provided for all CLIN(s) within a Lot. Lot 1 will be awarded before Lot 2. Lot 2 will be awarded before Lot 3. Offerors may submit offers on one or more Lots in their proposals. However, in no event will an offeror receive award for any lot that would result in a quantity exceeding its capacity to deliver the full requirements of that lot, as well as any other lots awarded, within 270 days after award. All proposals must clearly state the offeror’s maximum production capacity (by number of complete containers) for delivery within 270 days after award. Offeror will be deemed technically unacceptable for award on a given lot(s) if it does not have the remaining adequate production capacity after the award(s) of preceding lot(s).
