"Federal contract information" means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

"Information" means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, https://www.acquisition.gov/ or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.

SECTION D – ANY CONTRACT DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS, OR ATTACHMENTS

MULTIPLE-AWARD INDEFINITE-DELIVERY, INDEFINITE-QUANTITY

CONTRACT: USTDA REVERSE TRADE MISSIONS, CONFERENCES, FORUMS,

TRAINING, AND OTHER EVENTS

D.1 STATEMENT OF WORK

D.1.1 BACKGROUND

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (USTDA) is the U.S. government’s first mover on critical infrastructure development in emerging markets, advancing the shared strategic priorities of the United States and our overseas partners while creating opportunities to deploy trusted U.S.

solutions.

USTDA funds the upfront technical work that accelerates the development of infrastructure projects, helping them attract the financing they need for implementation and procurement of U.S. goods and services. USTDA also hosts activities that promote infrastructure partnerships with the United States.

Partnership-building activities play an important role in USTDA’s mission. Through reverse trade missions (RTMs), USTDA brings foreign project sponsors, officials, and other decision-http://www.acquisition.gov/ makers to the United States to observe the design, manufacturing, and operation of U.S. products and services. USTDA’s conferences and forums – usually sector or region-specific events – showcase U.S. goods, services, and technology to foreign buyers. As a result of their participation, USTDA’s delegates often make investment, procurement, and other major decisions related to infrastructure projects of strategic importance to the United States and our overseas partners.

To effectively implement these activities across a wide range of sectors, regions, locations and program requirements, USTDA requires access to a diverse pool of qualified contractors with demonstrated event management, logistics, outreach and related capabilities. Maintaining a pool of contractors provides the Agency with the capacity, flexibility, specialized expertise and geographic reach necessary to execute multiple, often concurrent, activities efficiently and consistently in support of USTDA’s mission.

D.1.2 SUMMARY OF REQUIREMENTS

USTDA requires a pool of qualified Contractors to plan, organize, and implement partnership-building activities that support the Agency’s mission, including reverse trade missions (RTMs), conferences, forums, workshops, trainings, and other events. Activities may take place anywhere in the United States or overseas and may be conducted in person, virtually, or in a hybrid format.

USTDA may require multiple activities to be planned and implemented concurrently across different regions, sectors, and locations, including multiple events taking place simultaneously.

Contractors must demonstrate the capacity and resources necessary to successfully manage and execute overlapping activities without compromising quality, responsiveness, or performance.

Under this IQC, Contractors may be required to provide the full range of services necessary to successfully execute these activities. This includes, but is not limited to, event planning and project management; venue and vendor coordination; domestic and international travel and logistics; support for high-level foreign delegations and U.S. Government participants;

participant recruitment, outreach, and registration; development of agendas, itineraries, and event materials; interpretation and translation; audiovisual and virtual event support; transportation, lodging, and other on-site logistics; and post-event monitoring, evaluation, data analysis, reporting, and closeout activities.

Contractors must be capable of organizing activities within short or evolving timeframes, managing complex logistics in a professional and efficient manner, and adapting to changing programmatic, operational, and foreign policy requirements. Contractors may also be responsible for marketing activities and conducting targeted outreach to appropriate USTDA-eligible U.S.

firms, foreign project sponsors, government officials, industry representatives, and other stakeholders, as applicable to the activity.

Supporting deliverables may include participant and project resource guides, briefing materials, presentations, handouts, signage, websites and registration platforms, audiovisual materials, reports, and other documentation necessary to support the successful implementation and evaluation of each activity.

This section provides a summary of the types of requirements anticipated under the IQC.

Specific scopes of work, deliverables, schedules, locations, staffing requirements, and other activity-specific requirements will be established in individual Task Orders.

USTDA reserves the right to procure activities or services covered by the scope of this contract through other contracting vehicles or procurement methods outside of this IQC.

D.1.3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF TASK ORDER ACTIVITIES

The Contractor shall plan, coordinate, organize, manage, implement, and document the events and related activities described below. Depending on the requirements of an individual Task Order, these responsibilities may include but are not limited to activities undertaken before, during, and after an event, including planning and scheduling, participant and stakeholder coordination, outreach and registration, travel and logistical arrangements, development of event materials, on-site or virtual event management, and post-event reporting and closeout.

The specific scope, location, schedule, deliverables, staffing, and level of support required will vary by Task Order based on the type, size, complexity, and objectives of the activity.

Contractors shall be prepared to coordinate closely with USTDA, other U.S. Government agencies, foreign government representatives, private-sector participants, vendors, venues, and other stakeholders, as applicable.

For all types of events, the Contractor shall clearly, accurately, and…
