Section I. Instructions to Offerors

I.1. Introduction

Chemonics, the Buyer, acting on behalf of the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the USAID Soma Umenye project, under contract AID-OAA-I-14-00055, Task Order No. AID-696-TO-16-0000, is soliciting proposals from eligible and responsible firms for Ad hoc transportation and distribution of classroom materials (including, but not limited to, textbooks, readers, teaching aids, and wall charts), to targeted P1-P3 classrooms throughout all 30 districts in Rwanda.

The purpose of Some Umenye is to improve reading outcomes in Kinyarwanda for over one-million students nationwide by ensuring that 70% of students attending public or government-aided schools are reading at grade-level text fluency and comprehension by the completion of Grade P3. The project therefore provides direct procurement of educational classroom materials, including textbooks, storybooks and readers, with targeted P1-P3 classrooms throughout the country. This requires the efficient and effective delivery of these materials to each classroom, and therefore Soma Umenye requires in-country third-party distribution services Some Umenye’s project warehouse in the Free Economic Zone, Kigali Province, to each final delivery destination. The purpose of this Indefinite Quantity Subcontract (IQS) is to identify a subcontractor to provide a range of distribution services to P1-P3 classrooms locations throughout Rwanda.

Chemonics will issue an award to one or more companies or organizations. The award(s) will be in the form of an indefinite quantity subcontract with sub-task orders issued as needed and priced on a firm fixed price basis as defined by the overarching subcontract (hereinafter referred to as “the IQS.”). The successful Offeror(s) shall be required to adhere to the statement of work and terms and conditions of the IQS, which are incorporated in Section III herein.

Offerors are invited to submit proposals in response to this RFP in accordance with Section I Instructions to Offerors, which will not be part of the IQS. The instructions are intended to assist interested Offerors in the preparation of their offer. Any resulting IQS will be guided by Sections II and III. Chemonics will subsequently solicit individual orders for the scope of services requested. These individual orders are called “Sub-Task Orders” (STOs). While the IQS will contain the main terms and conditions and the pricing methodology to be used in negotiating STOs, each STO will contain specific information regarding the services being requested by Soma Umenye, the period of performance, deliverables, and other details about the specific work ordered. STOs issued under the IQS will be on a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) basis. The Offeror shall develop a budget (i.e. cost proposal) for each STO using the pricing methodology set forth in the IQS. Chemonics will not reimburse the Offeror for any costs associated with managing the IQS; each STO must stand on its own. It is anticipated that Chemonics will award both the IQS and the first STO for distribution of P1 supplementary readers in response to this solicitation.

This RFP does not obligate Chemonics to execute an IQS nor does it commit Chemonics to pay any costs incurred in the preparation and submission of the proposals. Furthermore, Chemonics reserves the right to reject any and all offers, if such action is considered to be in the best interest of Chemonics.

Unless otherwise stated, the periods named in the RFP shall be consecutive calendar days.

The sections of the technical proposal stated above must respond to the detailed information set out in Section II of this RFP, which provides the background, states the scope of work, describes the deliverables, and provides a deliverables schedule.

3. Cost Proposal

The cost proposal is used to determine which proposals represent the best value and serves as a basis of negotiation before award of an IQS or STO.

The offeror’s cost proposal shall consist of the following two parts:




Part 1: Price of Services

Offerors must prepare and present to Chemonics a table showing their best proposed prices per district and weight tiers in kilograms (as provided in the sample table under Annex 2) for evaluation. The offeror’s prices (per location and weight tier in kilograms) should include all of the offeror’s organizational costs. No profit, fees, taxes, or any other additional costs can be added after award. At the award stage, after evaluation is complete, a successful offeror’s prices will be established as fixed prices in an IQS between Chemonics and the winning offeror(s). Chemonics will thereafter, at its sole discretion, order from the IQS holders, using STOs, at the fixed prices established in the IQS. As a result, offerors are strongly encouraged at this time to propose and submit their best, most realistic and reasonable prices in response to this RFP.

Guidance on Budget Preparation: Offerors should read the entire Scope of Work as provided under Section II of the RFP, assess its organizational costs based on the information provided there, and develop their budgets accordingly. In order to prepare a table of prices showing costs per location and weight tiers in kilograms (as requested in the sample table under Annex 2), an offeror must first consider all of its organizational costs (perhaps in a different detailed budget) and then translate those costs into the sample table as provided under Annex 2 of this RFP. Chemonics will not provide technical assistance to offerors on budget preparation. Chemonics expects offerors to consider all of their organizational costs by preparing their own detailed budgets separately, and to then translate the costs of the detailed budget into prices as requested in the sample price table under Annex 2 – by “location” and “weight tiers in kilograms.” Offerors are encouraged to show in their pricing table that the price of transportation will decrease (per kilogram) should Chemonics order higher volumes of transportation services from successful offerors. Offerors are not required to submit separate detailed budgets to Chemonics. Offerors are only required to submit a table containing prices in the format as provided in the sample under Annex 2 and as a full Excel template in Attachment 2, along with cost notes as requested under Part 2 below. However, Chemonics may at any time during the evaluation period, and at its sole discretion, require offerors to submit additional information to further assess and validate offerors’ proposed prices for allowability, allocability, and reasonability.

All cost information must be expressed in RWF.

In accordance with the agreement under which this procurement is financed, Chemonics will be reimbursed by the Cooperating Country government for taxes imposed on suppliers and subcontractors. Therefore, offerors must include taxes, VAT, charges, tariffs, duties and levies in accordance with the laws of the Cooperating Country, as applicable. If selected for award, the selected supplier shall provide Chemonics the documentation necessary to obtain tax reimbursement. In accordance with Rwandan law, VAT may not be applied to costs for distribution services. The cost proposal must demonstrate the portion of costs upon which VAT is assessed.

Part 2: Cost Notes

Offerors must prepare and submit Cost Notes that explains the basis for their proposed prices (as provided under Annex 2). For example, if the offeror proposed RWF 2,000 as the price of shipping one kilograms in the Tier 1 category to Rutsiro, the offeror should explain all of the various costs that are included in the price of RWF 2,000 (to ship one Kilogram to Kicukiro). Similarly, if the offeror proposed RWF 3,000 as




the price of shipping one kilogram to Rutsiro in the Tier 2 category (see table under Annex 2), the offeror should explain what cost factors are included in its proposed price of RWF 2,000 per kilogram (to ship to Rutsiro). If Chemonics at any time requests additional information from offerors to understand the offerors’ proposed prices, the offerors must submit the additional information requested. The offerors’ cost notes must provide sufficient detail to allow Chemonics to clearly see and understand the types of costs included in the offerors proposed tier prices (such as insurance, fuel, labor, maintenance, for example).

In the offeror’s price table and cost notes, Chemonics expects to see a decrease in costs per kilogram between an offeror’s Tier 1 and Tier 7 prices. In other word, should Chemonics order higher volumes of transportation services, Chemonics expects the price of transportation to decrease as it orders more transportation services from the successful offerors. Offerors’ prices, therefore, should reflect a decrease in price if Chemonics orders higher volumes of transportation services. Chemonics reserves the right to request additional price information if the evaluation committee has concerns of the reasonableness, realism, or completeness of an offeror’s proposed prices.

Under no circumstances may cost information be included in the technical proposal. No cost information or any prices, whether for deliverables or line items, may be included in the technical proposal. Cost in -formation must only be shown in the cost proposal.

Please find under Annex 2 a sample table for preparing your cost proposal.

Chemonics reserves the right to request additional cost information if the evaluation committee has concerns of the reasonableness, realism, or completeness of an offeror’s proposed cost.

Under no circumstances may cost information be included in the technical proposal. No cost information or any prices, whether for deliverables or line items, may be included in the technical proposal. Cost information must only be shown in the cost proposal.

I.5. Indefinite Quantity Type Subcontract and Future Sub-Task Orders

a) This RFP is anticipated to result in the award of an indefinite quantity type subcontract with sub-task orders issued thereunder priced on a firm fixed price basis to one or more offerors. These sub-task or-ders will be issued as the need arises. The award of the IQS – including quantities of supplies and ser-vices specified under it - are estimates only and are not purchased by the awarded IQS.

A Fixed Price Sub-Task Order (TO) is a subcontract for services, reports, or other concrete deliver-ables provided to and accepted by Chemonics on behalf of Soma Umenye. As the name implies, the price of the sub-task order will be fixed, and it is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the Subcontractor's cost experience in performing the work.

b) Delivery or performance shall be made only as authorized by sub-task orders issued in accordance with the Ordering Procedures contained within the IQS. The Subcontractor shall furnish to Chemon-ics, when and if ordered, the supplies or services specified in the SOW of this subcontract up to and including the quantity designated in the IQS as the “Maximum Subcontract Ceiling” currently esti-mated at between RWF 50,000,000 and RWF 200,000,000. Chemonics will order at least the quantity of supplies or services designated in the subcontract as the “Minimum Order Guarantee,” currently estimated at RWF 500,000. Subcontract values stated in this sub-paragraph (b) are estimates only and do not represent a commitment on behalf of Chemonics.




c) Except for any limitations on quantities in the sub-task order Limitations clause, there is no limit on the number of sub-task orders that may be issued. Chemonics may issue sub-task orders requiring de-livery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

proposals are not assigned points, but for overall evaluation purposes of this RFP, technical evaluation factors other than cost, when combined, are considered significantly more important than cost factors. If technical scores are determined to be equal or nearly equal, cost will become the determining factor.

In evaluating proposals, Chemonics will use the following evaluation criteria and sub-criteria:

Evaluation Criteria Evaluation Sub-criteria Maximum

PointsTechnical Approach

Part 1: Fleet/Equipment/Drivers NarrativeOfferors shall be evaluated on the following related to Fleet/Equipment/Drivers narrative: Total number, variety, and adequacy of vehicles/equipment/other

means of transportation in offeror’s fleet Vehicle security plan and procedures. Vehicle maintenance protocol Driver/operator qualification. Summary of how vehicles are tracked, inspected, maintained, and

repaired.Part 2: Receiving, Warehousing, Preparation, Distribution, Assembly, Monitoring of Commodities, and Standard Operating Procedures2.1 Distribution PlanOfferors shall be evaluated on the following related to Distribution plan: Does the Offeror possess the proven ability to dispatch

However, Chemonics reserves the right to conduct discussions, negotiations and/or request clarifications prior to awarding an IQS. Furthermore, Chemonics reserves the right to conduct a competitive range and to limit the number of offerors in the competitive range to permit an efficient evaluation environment among the most highly-rated proposals. Highest-rated offerors, as determined by the technical evaluation committee, may be asked to submit their best prices or




technical responses during a competitive range. At the sole discretion of Chemonics, offerors may be requested to conduct oral presentations. If deemed an opportunity, Chemonics reserves the right to make multiple awards or to make no award at all.

Annex 2 Guide to Creating a Financial Proposal for a Fixed Price Subcontract

This annex does not replace the guidance provided under Section I.4.B.3. Rather, it provides additional guidance to aid offerors in developing their cost proposals. Chemonics has requested that offerors prepare and submit cost proposals showing their prices according to the sample table below in order to receive consideration. Chemonics recommends the following broad steps in order to aid the offerors in preparing their table of prices. Offerors, at their own discretion, may follow these steps in order to first understand their organizational costs, and then develop a table of prices as requested below:

Step 1: Read the Scope of Work as provided under Section II.2

Step 2: Design a technical proposal in response to the requirements requested in the Scope of Work under Section II.2 of this RFP. Offerors should examine the market for the proposed activity and realistically assess how they can meet the needs and services as described in this RFP, specifically in Section II.

Step 3: Determine the basic costs associated with performing the work and preparing each deliverable requested, and then develop a budget that captures all such costs in the offeror’s own budget template.

Step 4: Translate the offeror’s own budget into a table of prices, similar to the sample table provided below. Offerors should propose their best prices in the sample table format requested below – by weight tier in kilograms, and location. The offeror is required to submit only the price table showing its best prices, not a detailed budget.

Step 4: Write Cost Notes. Offerors should prepare cost notes to identify what specific types of costs are included in its proposed prices (for example, for each tier, the offer should specify if insurance, fuel, maintenance, labor, and so on, are included. The offeror is required to submit costs notes

Chemonics will not provide technical assistance to offerors on budget preparation. Chemonics expects offerors, on their own, to read the scope of work, consider all of their organizational costs based on the scope of work, prepare their own detailed budgets to cover the basic costs they expect to incur, and to then translate the costs of the detailed budget into prices as requested in the sample price table provided below – by “location” and “weight tiers in kilograms.”

Under no circumstances may cost or price information be included in the technical proposal. No cost or price information may be included in the technical proposal. The cost proposal must only show prices as requested in the table provided below.




Sample Price Table

As noted above, offerors should prepare and propose a table of fixed prices similar to the sample table provided below. An Excel version of the below table is included as Attachment 2 of this RFP for convenience, but Offerors may prepare their own table of fixed prices in Microsoft Excel (in the same format as the sample provided below) in response to the technical and cost requirements of this RFP. If Offeror’s commercial tiered rates vary from the tiers below, Offeror may propose those instead with a detailed explanation of the basis of rates and a copy of their published price list. This is a sample, only. The offeror’s cost proposal should list prices for distribution to all 30 districts in Rwanda.

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS

Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Apr 2010)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that— (i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals—

(A) Are □ are not □ presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have □ have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, state, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property;

(C) Are □ are not □ presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision;

(D) Have □, have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent U.S. Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) U.S. Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. § 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (ii) The IRS has filed a notice of U.S. Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. § 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.




(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. § 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ) , within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any U.S. Federal agency.

(2) “Principal,” for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a subsidiary, division, or business segment; and similar positions). This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code.

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror’s responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror non-responsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

Annex 4 DUNS and SAM Registration Guidance

What is DUNS?

The Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) is a system developed and regulated by Dun & Brad-street (D&B) - a company that provides information on corporations for use in credit decisions - that as-signs a unique numeric identifier, referred to as a DUNS number, to a single business entity. The DUNS database contains over 100 million entries for businesses throughout the world, and is used by the United States Government, the United Nations, and the European Commission to identify companies. The DUNS number is widely used by both commercial and federal entities and was adopted as the standard business identifier for federal electronic commerce in October 1994. The DUNS number was also incorporated into the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) in April 1998 as the Federal Government's contractor identification code for all procurement-related activities.

Why am I being requested to obtain a DUNS number?

U.S. law – in particular the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (Pub.L. 109-282), as amended by section 6202 of the Government Funding Transparency Act of 2008 (Pub.L. 110-252) - make it a requirement for all entities doing business with the U.S. Government to be registered, currently through the System for Award Management, a single, free, publicly- searchable website that in-cludes information on each federal award. As part of this reporting requirement, prime contractors such as Chemonics must report information on qualifying subawards as outlined in FAR 52.204-10 and 2CFR Part 170. Chemonics is required to report subcontracts with an award valued at greater than or equal to $30,000 under a prime contract and subawards under prime grants or prime cooperative agreements obli-gating funds of $25,000 or more, whether U.S. or locally-based. Because the U.S. Government uses DUNS numbers to uniquely identify businesses and organizations, Chemonics is required to enter sub-award data with a corresponding DUNS number.

Is there a charge for obtaining a DUNS number?

No. Obtaining a DUNS number is absolutely free for all entities doing business with the Federal govern-ment. This includes current and prospective contractors, grantees, and loan recipients.

How do I obtain a DUNS number?

DUNS numbers can be obtained online at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform/pages/CCRSearch.jsp or by phone at 1-800-234-3867 (for US, Puerto Rico and Virgin Island requests only).

What information will I need to obtain a DUNS number?

To request a DUNS number, you will need to provide the following information:

Legal name and structure Tradestyle, Doing Business As (DBA), or other name by which your organization is commonly

recognized Physical address, city, state and Zip Code Mailing address (if separate) Telephone number Contact name Number of employees at your location




Description of operations and associated code (SIC code found at https://www.osha.gov/pls/imis/sicsearch.html)

Annual sales and revenue information Headquarters name and address (if there is a reporting relationship to a parent corporate entity)

How long does it take to obtain a DUNS number?

Under normal circumstances the DUNS is issued within 1-2 business days when using the D&B web form process. If requested by phone, a DUNS can usually be provided immediately.

Are there exemptions to the DUNS number requirement?

There may be exemptions under specific prime contracts, based on an organization’s previous fiscal year income when selected for a subcontract award, or Chemonics may agree that registration using the D&B web form process is impractical in certain situations. Organizations may discuss these options with the Chemonics representative.

What is CCR/SAM?

Central Contractor Registration (CCR)—which collected, validated, stored and disseminated data in sup-port of agency acquisition and award missions—was consolidated with other federal systems into the Sys-tem for Award Management (SAM). SAM is an official, free, U.S. government-operated website. There is NO charge to register or maintain your entity registration record in SAM.

When should I register in SAM?

While registration in SAM is not required for organizations receiving a grant under contract, subcontract or cooperative agreement from Chemonics, Chemonics requests that partners register in SAM if the orga-nization meets the following criteria requiring executive compensation reporting in accordance with the FFATA regulations referenced above. SAM.gov registration allows an organization to directly report in-formation and manage their organizational data instead of providing it to Chemonics. Reporting on execu-tive compensation for the five highest paid executives is required for a qualifying subaward if in your business or organization's preceding completed fiscal year, your business or organization (the legal entity to which the DUNS number belongs):

(1) received 80 percent or more of its annual gross revenues in U.S. federal contracts, subcon-tracts, loans, grants, subgrants, and/or cooperative agreements; and

(2) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from U.S. federal contracts, subcontracts, loans, grants, subgrants, and/or cooperative agreements; and,

(3) The public have does not have access to information about the compensation of the execu-tives in your business or organization (the legal entity to which the DUNS number it provided be-longs) through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the US Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

If your organization meets the criteria to report executive compensation, the following sections of this document outline the benefits of and process for registration in SAM.gov. Registration may be initiated at https://www.sam.gov. There is NO fee to register for this site.




Why should I register in SAM?

Chemonics recommends that partners register in SAM to facilitate their management of organizational data and certifications related to any U.S. federal funding, including required executive compensation re-porting. Executive compensation reporting for the five highest paid executives is required in connection with the reporting of a qualifying subaward if:

a. In your business or organization's preceding completed fiscal year, your business or organization (the legal entity to which the DUNS number belongs) received (1) 80 percent or more of its an-nual gross revenues in U.S. federal contracts, subcontracts, loans, grants, subgrants, and/or coop-erative agreements; and (2) $25,000,000 or more in annual gross revenues from U.S. federal con-tracts, subcontracts, loans, grants, subgrants, and/or cooperative agreements; and,

b. The public have does not have access to information about the compensation of the executives in your business or organization (the legal entity to which the DUNS number it provided belongs) through periodic reports filed under section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (15 U.S.C. 78m(a), 78o(d)) or section 6104 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.

What benefits do I receive from registering in SAM?

By registering in SAM, you gain the ability to bid on federal government contracts. Your registration does not guarantee your winning a government contract or increasing your level of business. Registration is simply a prerequisite before bidding on a contract. SAM also provides a central storage location for the registrant to supply its information, rather than with each federal agency or prime contractor separately. When information about your business changes, you only need to document the change in one place for every federal government agency to have the most up-to-date information.

How do I register in SAM?

Follow the step-by-step guidance for registering in SAM for assistance awards (under grants/cooperative agreements) at: https://www.sam.gov/sam/transcript/Quick_Guide_for_Grants_Registrations.pdf

Follow the step-by-step guidance for contracts registrations at:https://www.sam.gov/sam/transcript/Quick_Guide_for_Contract_Registrations.pdf

You must have a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number in order to begin either registration process.

If you already have the necessary information on hand (see below), the online registration takes approxi-mately one hour to complete, depending upon the size and complexity of your business or organization.

What data is needed to register in SAM?

SAM registrants are required to submit detailed information on their company in various categories. Ad-ditional, non-mandatory information is also requested. Categories of required and requested information include:

* General Information - Includes, but is not limited to, DUNS number, CAGE Code, company name, Fed-eral Tax Identification Number (TIN), location, receipts, employee numbers, and web site address.

* Corporate Information - Includes, but is not limited to, organization or business type and SBA-defined socioeconomic characteristics.




* Goods and Services Information - Includes, but is not limited to, NAICS code, SIC code, Product Ser-vice (PSC) code, and Federal Supply Classification (FSC) code.

(*Note: EDI Information is optional and may be provided only for businesses interested in conducting transactions through EDI.)




ANNEX 5: DELIVERY SPEED

Delivery speed shall be evaluated on the basis of offerors’ responses to the two following delivery scenarios. The details for each scenario are set for the below and the delivery locations and quantities can be found in Attachment 1. (Note that each scenario appears on a separate tab in the spreadsheet.) Scenarios # 1 shall serve as the basis for award of the first sub-task order under the resulting IQS.

Delivery shall be Delivery at Place (DAP), including loading and unloading,. Delivery estimates shall be accurate and honest and must be upheld in spirit in the performance of any resulting subcontract(s). (I.e., the successful offeror’s proposed delivery speed will be used as the basis for determining the reasonableness in the proposed delivery schedule of any subsequent task order.) The two delivery scenarios presented in this section and in Attachment 1 are representative of the work to be ordered under any resulting subcontract, though actual work may vary in location and quantities.

Instructions: Offerors shall review each of the two delivery scenarios presented in Attachment 1. For each, Offerors shall provide the information requested below. Specifically, this shall include the number of working days required for distribution by province and the total number of days needed to complete distribution of the total order, based on the specifications given for each scenario. Offerors shall further describe any anticipated overlap or concurrent distribution. Depending on Offeror’s proposed plans for distribution in multiple provinces at once, the total number of days required for distribution may be less than the sum of the number of days required for delivery in each province.

For the “total number of days for delivery,” note that number of days shall commence tolling on the date that a Sub-Task Order is fully executed and will end when all educational classroom materials have been delivered. It must include any time needed to mobilize vehicles and personnel needed to fulfill the required services. “Delivery” shall mean the process by which an end-user school receives the educational classroom materials for each Sub-Task Order. That is to say, “delivery” encompasses the full scope of an Offeror’s responsibilities from the time it receives the educational classroom materials from Chemonics until all educational classroom materials have been accepted by each school’s head teacher.

Delivery Scenario #1 (anticipated STO # 1)

Delivery of 4,512 packed cardboard boxes of P1 classroom readers and other teaching materials with the following approximate specifications to the delivery locations and in the quantities shown on Tab 1 of Attachment 1:
