COMBINED SYSNOPSIS / SOLCITATION M00264-10-T-0020
1. Background/Overview
A. In order to promote a positive and effective trademark licensing program, all United
States Marine Corps (USMC) officially licensed products must adhere to the
requirements set forth in the USMC’s Trademark License Agreement. These
requirements help USMC products sell better, prevent infringement, and provide the
USMC Trademark Licensing Office with a method of tracking licensed products for
enforcement/auditing purposes.
B. The newly established USMC Trademark Licensing Office is looking to enter into a
no-cost contract with an entity capable of providing trademark labeling solutions. More
specifically, during the term of the contract, this entity (hereinafter referred to as the
Labeling Contractor or Contractor) will be the sole provider of high quality Hang Tags,
hologram stickers, labels, package seals, sew on labels and/or track and trace
technologies to USMC Licensees.
C. The requirement identified in the below Performance Work Statement is to be
performed by the Contractor at no-cost to the Government. The Government will issue a
“no-cost contract,” meaning the Government will neither fund nor be responsible for
funding the services and materials described herein. Contractor’s earnings from this
contract will be generated from USMC approved licensees (Licensees) who will pay the
awardee for the provision of Hang Tag, labels, seals, and/or etc. The amount of earnings
the Contractor may generate depends on the number of Hang Tags and other related items
acquired from the Contractor by the Licensee for the purpose of accompanying USMC
trademarked merchandise sold by the Licensee. The Contractor is liable for all costs
related to its performance of the contract requirements, and the Government's liability for
payment for materials and services under this contract is "zero."
D. The USMC will require the Contractor to grant the U.S. Government a paid-up,
nonexclusive and irrevocable worldwide license to use, modify, reproduce, perform,
display, release, or disclose all works produced for, or during, this contract (including,
but not limited to all: Hang Tags; seals and labels; associated graphics and renderings;
and other related or similar works, items and materials) in whole or in part, in any
manner, and for any purpose whatsoever, and to have or authorize others to do so for
government purposes.

(a) The Government will award a no-cost contract resulting from this solicitation to the
responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous
to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be
used to evaluate offers:
1. Written Technology Statement

4. Experience Statement
5. Past Performance Statements
6. Hang Tag/Label Price Sheet
All factors are in descending order of importance.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION-COMMERCIAL ITMS
1. Written Technology Statement

requirements are addressed:
A. Security
B. Holographic Elements:
C. Security Flexographic Inks:
D. Manufacturing Process
E. Hang Tags
F. Labels
5
COMBINED SYSNOPSIS / SOLCITATION M00264-10-T-0020
G. Package Seals
H. Sew on labels
I. Track and Trace
2. Product Samples
The physical sample will be evaluated to determine the quality of manufacturing, printing
and design capabilities. Product samples will be provided at no cost to the Government
and will not be returned to the Offerors.
3. Electronic USMC themed Hang Tag and Label rendering
Samples will be evaluated based on Hang Tag appearance and its ability to maximize
aesthetic appeal while reflecting a positive Marine Corps image.
4. Experience Statement
The experience statement will be evaluated to determine each Offeror’s manufacturing
experience and degree of qualifications, and it will be used to determine how well the
Offeror’s past experience might support its capability of meeting the USMC’s labeling
needs in the marketplace.
5. Past Performance Statement
Past performance information, from any source, will be evaluated to determine relevancy
of the information, source of the information, context of the data obtained, and general
trends in contractor performance, as indicators of the Offeror’s ability to perform the
contract successfully. Offerors with no past performance or for whom past performance
information is not available, shall not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past
performance.
6. Hang Tag/Label Price Sheet
This contract will not automatically be awarded to the lowest price sheet offer as
technology features; proposed label quality and appearance; company experience; and
past performance are principal evaluation factors. However, the price to USMC
Licensees who will be required to purchase hologram labels from the company to which
the contract is awarded is an important evaluation factor. Companies who meet all other
required criteria but propose excessively expensive products as determined by the
evaluation team will not be considered.
