As prescribed in 5345.201(b)(90), insert the following provision, substantially as written, in Section L:
ELIMINATION OF COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE IN THE USE OF GOVERNMENT PROPERTY (AFMC) (OCT 2008)
(a) Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation or attachments, the Government does not plan to furnish any facilities, special tooling, special test equipment or other Government property for use in the performance of the contract resulting from this solicitation.
(b) The Government may, however, authorize such use in accordance with FAR 45.3, Providing Government Property to Contractors. To use existing Government property in the performance of this proposed contract, a copy of the cognizant Contracting Officer's written concurrence with such use must be furnished to the Government as a part of the response to this solicitation. Your proposal must include a listing of Government property you desire to use in the performance of the proposed contract, including the following information for each item: nomenclature, date of purchase, acquisition value, number of months of contemplated use (identify first, last, and all intervening months), rental fee, if applicable, and the copy of the Contracting Officer's written concurrence for such use.
(c) In the event that permission for such use of Government property is not authorized and the Contractor must furnish the property to perform the contract, identify the total cost impact, if any, to the proposed price.
(d) An evaluation factor as set forth in FAR 45.202, Evaluation Procedures, will be used to eliminate any competitive advantage from the use of such property unless the Contracting Officer determines that the use of an evaluation factor would not affect the choice of Contractor.
