                CHAPTER 1--FEDERAL ACQUISITION REGULATION
 
PART 45--GOVERNMENT PROPERTY--Table of Contents
 
                   Subpart 45.2--Competitive Advantage
 
45.202-3  Other costs and savings.

    (a) If furnishing Government production and research property will 
result in direct measurable costs that the Government must bear, 
additional factors shall be considered in evaluating bids or proposals. 
These factors shall be specified in the solicitation either as dollar 
amounts or as formulas and shall be limited to the cost of--
    (1) Reactivation from storage;
    (2) Rehabilitation and conversion; and
    (3) Making the property available on an f.o.b. basis.
    (b) If, under the terms of the solicitation, the contractor will 
bear the transportation cost of furnishing Government production and 
research property or the cost of making it suitable for use (such as 
when property is offered on an as is basis (see 45.308)), no additional 
evaluation factors related to those costs shall be used.
    (c) If using Government production and research property will result 
in measurable savings to the Government, the dollar amount of these 
savings shall be specified in the solicitation and used in evaluating 
offers. Examples of such savings include--
    (1) Savings occurring as a direct result of activating tools being 
maintained in idle status at known cost to the Government; and
    (2) Avoiding the costs of deactivating and placing tools in layaway 
or storage or of maintaining them in an idle state, if the prospective 
costs are known. For these costs to be included in the evaluation, firm 
decisions must have been made that the tools will be laid away or stored 
if not used on the proposed contract and that such costs are not merely 
being deferred.
