0020 D-12   SELLER OFFSET COMMITMENT
     

Seller's solicitation response must include a firm commitment to support Boeing's offset, coproduction and similar obligations to certain foreign governments (hereinafter collectively called "offset" obligations). These offset obligations have been accepted by Boeing as requirements for the sale of products to these foreign customers. The commitment proposed by Seller will be a factor in Boeing's evaluation of Seller's solicitation response.

In order that Seller's commitment relates to Boeing's offset obligations, such firm commitment is expected to approximate twenty-five percent (25%) of the value of any contract that may be awarded as a result of this solicitation.

Most offset obligations require approximately one-third of the total to be in coproduction (aircraft related products) and the remaining two-thirds can be in counter-trade (goods and services used in any of Seller's operations; transfers of technology, joint ventures; and travel and tourism involving the customer airline).

Obtaining credit for offset commitments by Boeing and Boeing's suppliers requires a formal procedure that varies among the countries. Credits are usually granted for business instigated by Boeing and its suppliers with advance notice to the customers.

If a contract is awarded to Seller as a result of this solicitation, an agreement separate from the awarded contract will be entered into to cover the details of Seller's firm commitment.

If additional information regarding the offset program is necessary for Seller to respond to this solicitation, contact the Boeing Purchasing Representative. Questions and answers will be provided to all respondents.

0030 G-2   EVALUATION OF QUOTE
      Boeing reserves the right to reject any and all solicitation responses and to evaluate all solicitation responses with regard to quality, price, assurance of timely delivery, and all other factors that Boeing, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.
0031 B-6   ALTERNATE QUOTES
      Seller is invited to submit additional, alternate solicitation responses which might reduce the price by taking advantage of price breaks, delivery schedule variations, more economical packaging, bulk handling or changes to configurations, materials, tolerances, finishes, etc. which will not impair any essential characteristics of form, fit or function, such as service life, reliability, ease of maintenance or interchangeability.
0032 C-1   QUOTE FIRM FOR THREE MONTHS
      Seller must accompany its solicitation response with a written assurance that it will be held open and not revoked for lack of consideration for a period of three (3) months.
0033 NEW* 072110 BEST VALUE
      The offerer is advised that this solicitation shall be evaluated based on price/cost, past delivery performance, and past quality performance factors. Boeing shall use the data set forth in its Boeing Enterprise Supplier Tool (BEST) to determine the past delivery and quality performance in such evaluation.
0040 G-1   NO BID RESPONSE
      If Seller declines to submit a solicitation response for any item described in this solicitation, Seller is requested to state the reason for such "No-Bid" response.
0050 B-5   DISCOUNTS FOR PROMPT PAYMENT
      The amount and terms of any prompt payment discount proposed in Seller's solicitation response will be a factor in Boeing's evaluation of the solicitation response.
0060 D-1   POTENTIAL SPLIT REQUIREMENTS
