Proposals must be organized into five volumes: Technical, Past Performance, Price, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, and Summary and Miscellaneous Data. Key elements include detailed technical approaches for product supply, quality control, equipment descriptions, and supply commitment letters. Past performance requires up to three relevant examples from the last two years. The price proposal must use the provided worksheet, ensuring reasonableness and balance. Offerors (excluding small businesses) must submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan if the acquisition exceeds $7.5 million. The entire proposal, including attachments, must not exceed 10 MB.

This addendum outlines the evaluation criteria for government contracts, focusing on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) approach. Proposals will be assessed on four factors: Technical, Past Performance, Price, and Small Business Subcontracting Plan. To be eligible for award, offerors must be rated “Acceptable” in technical factors and “Acceptable” or “Neutral” in past performance, while offering the lowest evaluated price and conforming to all solicitation requirements. Technical tradeoffs will not be made, and exceeding acceptability standards will not earn additional credit. The government intends to award a Firm-Fixed Price Type Requirements Contract for five years with a six-month extension option, reserving the right not to award any contract. The document details how each factor will be rated, including specific criteria for past performance relevancy and the evaluation of small business subcontracting plans, which also includes an assessment of past performance in meeting such goals.

This addendum to FAR 52.212-4 details the procedures for determining the quantity of Aviator's Breathing Oxygen and Liquid Nitrogen supplied under a contract. For CONUS locations, quantity is determined by a Contractor-furnished, calibrated flow meter at the receiving activity. For OCONUS locations, quantity can be determined by either a calibrated flow meter or calibrated weight scales. The Government reserves the right to witness these measurements. All measurement equipment must be calibrated according to local regulations, manufacturer recommendations, or every 12 months, whichever is more frequent. The net quantity shipped must be reported in whole gallons on DD Form 250 or equivalent. The addendum also provides specific conversion factors for both Aviator's Breathing Oxygen and Liquid Nitrogen when measurements are taken in units other than gallons, including standard cubic feet, normal cubic meters, liters (as liquid), pounds, and kilograms.
