The usage of the Bulk OET is MANDATORY for the 2017 Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore solicitation. The Bulk OET will allow offerors to electronically submit and sign their offer (including the SF 1449). The Bulk OET will serve one important function in the 2017 Rocky Mountain/West Coast/Offshore solicitation: By completing the various mandatory and optional fields in the tool, offerors will provide the information necessary to allow their offer to be imported directly into the Bulk Fuels Bid Evaluation Model (BEM) for evaluation. The Bulk OET does not replace the Bulk Fuels Offer Submission Package (OSP) in its entirety. Offerors will still need to complete those portions of the OSP as indicated by the Contracting Officer in the instructions included with the solicitation. In general terms, offerors can expect to be required to complete and submit sections F (Source of Supply) through I (Port Restrictions) of the OSP. The OET does provide the capability for offerors to attach the completed forms as a .PDF document as part of their company's overall offer submission. In order to utilize the OET, offerors must first establish an OET account using the DLA Accounts Management and Provisioning System (AMPS) . You can access AMPS at https://amps.dla.mil/oim where offerors can either create a new AMPS account or log in using their existing account (offerors will be asked to provide their CAGE code when creating a new AMPS account). Once offerors have established an account in AMPS, they will need to request the following role: 1) OET Prod - Vendor Offer Submission Role OET-100 To select this role, offerors will first choose 'Energy Applications' then 'Energy OET' under the Browse Roles by Application tab. When applying for this role, offerors need to include their company name and the purchase programs they typically offer under in the notes or comments section of the application. Also, when applying for OET - offerors MUST include every CAGE code they intend to use to submit offers in the 'notes' section of the initial role request. Once the offerors role has been approved, they will be provided with a user name and password that can be used to log into the Bulk Fuels OET at: https://offerwizard.dla.mil/bulkoet/bulkoet.html . If an offeror experiences difficulty in establishing an account, they can contact the DLA Energy Bulk Technical Team at
