The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line Reverse Auctioning as a means of conducting price discussions under this solicitation.  During the course of the on-line auction, offeror’s proposed prices will be publicly disclosed to other offeror’s and anyone else having access to the on-line auction. This public disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each offeror's identity will be concealed from other offeror’s (although it will be known to the Government), and only generic identifiers will be used publicly for each offeror's proposed pricing (e.g., "Offeror A").  By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the Reverse Auction and that their prices may be publicly disclosed, including to another offeror’s, during the Reverse Auction.  An offeror's final auction price will be considered its final proposal revision.  No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the Reverse Auction, unless the Contracting Officer decides that further discussions are needed, and final proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with FAR 15.307.  In addition, online training is available at https://dla.procurexinc.com/_theme/dla/Pages/default.aspx once you have registered and have logged in.  Questions about ProcureX can be directed to ProcureX at 1-866-412-7161 ext. 1 or email service@procurexinc.com.

Full and Open Competition applies.  This solicitation is NOT being issued under the First Destination Transportation (FDT) program.  Inspection at Origin will be utilized for all CLINs.  This solicitation will be available on the Internet at https://www.dibbs.bsm.dla.mil/dodwarning.aspx?goto=/rfp on the issue date of 05/29/2026.

Based upon market research, the Government is not using the policies contained in FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, in its solicitation for the described supplies or services.  However, interested persons may identify to the contracting officer their interest and capability to satisfy the Government's requirement with a commercial item within 15 days of this notice.

Interested parties that meet the requirements of the solicitation may obtain copies of Military and Federal Specifications and Standards, Qualified Product List, Military Handbooks, and other standardization documents from the Defense Standardization Program (DSP) in Philadelphia, PA.  Documents are available in Adobe PDF format from the ASSIST database via the Internet at http://quicksearch.dla.mil/qsSearch.aspx.  ASSIST includes more than documents and document metadata.  ASSIST also serves as a portal to, and is closely integrated with, the Qualified Products Database (QPD), which is the official DoD site for identifying parts and sources approved by DoD qualifying activities.

Users may search for documents using ASSIST-Quick Search and download the documents directly via the Internet using the standard browser software.  Issues with the website, please contact the ASSIST Help Desk at (215) 737-8000.  Users not having access to the Internet may call or mail requests to DLA Document Services, Bldg. 4/D, 700 Robbins Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19111-5094.

If the NSN(s) in the package has a license agreement, which requires an NDA to be submitted, I recommend placing BOTH the solicitation number/project number on the solicitation line of the NDA form.  I believe it should be one NDA form per sol/project number.  Submit the NDA request to the email address on the form.

Problems with cFolders can be addressed by the cFolders Help Desk at (855) 352-0001 and/or via email at DSCC.ProdDataCustSvc@dla.mil.  Do not call the buyer for Drawing Item Issues.
