A. Purpose

    Offers submitted in response to Government solicitations must be 
evaluated and awards made on the basis of the lowest laid down cost to 
the Government at the overseas port of discharge, via methods and ports 
compatible with required delivery dates and conditions affecting 
transportation known at the time of evaluation. Offers are evaluated on 
the basis of shipment through the port resulting in the lowest cost to

vendor's preference for delivery ports. The information is used to 
evaluate offers and award a contract based on the lowest cost of the 
Government.

estimated to average 30 minutes for the first completion, 10 minutes 
for subsequent completions, or an average of 15 minutes per completion, 
including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data 
sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and 
reviewing the collection of information.
    The annual reporting burden is estimated as follows: Respondents, 
100; responses per respondent, 4; total annual responses, 400; 
preparation hours per response, .25; and total responses burden hours, 
100.
