As prescribed in 11.404(a)(1)(90) insert the following clause:
TIME OF DELIVERY (Jun 2008) - DLAD
(a) Offers in response to this solicitation will be evaluated as specified in the solicitation. Delivery shall be offered in terms of a number of days after date of award. The number of delivery days REQUIRED in this solicitation is calculated based on the Government’s planned need and customer requirements. Unless delivery is identified elsewhere in the solicitation as an evaluation factor, Offerors are encouraged to conform their delivery terms
5
as closely as possible to the delivery days REQUIRED, and there will be no evaluation preference, or penalty for faster delivery. Offering a greater number of delivery days than the REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE may
result in the offer not being considered, however the Government reserves the right to consider offered delivery times that EXCEED the number of delivery days required by the Government. Delivery is REQUIRED by the Government in accordance with the following schedule:
REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE
ITEM NO. QUANTITY WITHIN NO. DAYS AFTER DATE OF AWARD
________ _________ _________________________________________
The Government may elect to consider for award only those offers that comply with the REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE but reserves the right to consider offered delivery times that EXCEED the number of delivery days required by the Government. The Offeror may propose an alternative delivery schedule below. If the Offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE above will apply.
OFFEROR'S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE
ITEM NO. QUANTITY WITHIN NO. DAYS AFTER DATE OF AWARD
________ _________ ________________________________________
(b) The Government will mail, or otherwise furnish to, the Offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day the award is dated. Therefore, the Offeror shall compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the award or notice of award by adding:
(i) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or
(ii) one working day if the solicitation states that the award or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.)
(End of Clause)
