AGAR Clauses

452.204–70 ModificaƟon for Contract Closeout (Nov 2025)

(a) If unliquidated funds in the amount of $1000 or less remain on the contract, the Contracting Officer (Contracting Officer) shall issue a unilateral modification for deobligation. The contractor will receive a copy of the modification but will not be required to provide a signature. The

ContracƟng Officer shall immediately proceed with contract closeout upon compleƟon of the period of performance, receipt and acceptance of supplies or services, and final payment.

(b) Upon contract closeout for contracts utilizing SAP: if unliquidated funds of more than $1000 remain on the contract, the Contracting Officer shall issue a bilateral modification for deobligation.

The contractor will receive a copy of the modification and will be required to provide a signature.

(The Contracting Officer may also request a “Contractor Release of Claims” be completed by the contractor, although not required for contracts and orders using SAP.) If the bilateral modification and Release of Claims are not returned to the Contracting Officer within 60 days, the Contracting Officer shall release the modification as unilateral and proceed with contract closeout upon completion of the period of performance, receipt and acceptance of supplies or services, and final payment.

(c) Upon contract closeout for contracts utilizing anything other than cost reimbursement, if unliquidated funds of more than $1000 remain on the contract, the Contracting Officer shall issue a bilateral modification for deobligation. The contractor will receive a copy of the modification and a ‘‘Contractor Release of Claims’’ and will be required to provide a signature on both forms. If the bilateral modification and Release of Claims are not returned to the Contracting Officer within 120 days, the Contracting Officer shall release the modification as unilateral and proceed with contract closeout upon completion of the period of performance, receipt and acceptance of supplies or services, and final payment.

(End of Clause)

452.203-71 AnƟ-DiscriminaƟon and Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Compliance (Dec 2025)

(a) By entering into this contract, the Contractor certifies that:

(1) It is compliant with all applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws and the Equal Protection principles of the U.S. Constitution, and it will remain compliant for the duration of the contract.

(2) Neither it nor any subcontractor or teaming partner operates or funds any program, policy, or initiative that promotes DEI in a manner that violates any applicable Federal anti-discrimination laws, including but not limited to Title VI and VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, or the Equal Protection principles of the U.S. Constitution, and the Contractor and any subcontractor or teaming partner will not do so for the duration of the contract.

(b) If the Contractor participates in, facilitates, or funds programs that implicate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, as amended, including but not limited to grants to or for schools, colleges, universities, 4-H programs, non-governmental organization (NGO) programs, sports programs, and education-related grants to prisons or other detention facilities, the Contractor certifies that it will remain compliant with those laws, including the requirements set forth in Executive Order 14168, Defending Women from Gender Ideology Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth to the Federal Government, and Executive Order 14173, Ending Illegal Discrimination and Restoring Merit-Based Opportunity.

(c) The Contractor affirms that the above requirements are conditions of payment that go to the essence of the contract and are therefore material terms of the contract.

(d) This certification reflects a change in the Government’s position regarding the materiality of the foregoing requirements and therefore any prior payment of similar claims does not reflect the materiality of the foregoing requirements to this contract.

(e) Submission of a knowing false statement relating to Contractor’s compliance with the above requirements and/or eligibility for the contract may subject the Contractor to liability under the False Claims Act, 31 U.S.C. § 3729, and/or criminal liability, including under 18 U.S.C. §§ 287 and 1001.

(f) The Contractor must include the provisions of this clause in all subcontract solicitations.

(b) Computation of amounts. Progress payments will be authorized when the payment requested is properly due in accordance with this contract; the work will be performed in accordance with the contract; and there has been no impairment or diminution of the Government’s security under this contract. The Contracting Officer may authorize consideration of:

(4) Materials delivered to the Contractor at locations other than the site, if:

i. Specifically authorized by the contract; and

ii. The Contractor provides satisfactory evidence of title and intended use in the contract.

(3) This request for progress payments does not include any amounts which the prime contractor intends to withhold or retain from a subcontractor or supplier in accordance with the terms and conditions of the subcontract; and

(4) This certification is not to be construed as final acceptance of a subcontractor’s performance.

(name) (title) (date)

(1) Records and Documentation:

(i) Certified progress payment requests and supporting documentation;

(ii) Subcontractor and supplier invoices, payment records, and lien waivers;

(iii)Updated schedule of values and progress schedules;

(iv) Quality assurance and inspection reports;

(v) Payroll records, if applicable under labor provisions.

(2) Facilities and Worksite Access:

(i) Physical access to the construction site for inspection of work progress;

(ii) Access to off-site storage locations for materials billed but not yet incorporated into the work; or

(iii) Access to any fabrication facilities where contract-related work is being performed.

(3) Access to electronic invoicing or project management systems used to track progress and payments, if such systems are used in contract performance.

(f) Dates for payment. A progress payment under this clause is a contract progress payment under the Prompt Payment clause of this contract, and except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, approved requests shall be paid within 30 days of submittal of a proper request for payment.

(g) Liquidation of progress payments. Progress payments shall be liquidated by deducting from the payment of each item the total unliquidated amount of progress payments made for that separately priced unit of that line item. The liquidaƟon amounts for each line item shall be clearly delineated in each request for progress payment submiƩed by the Contractor.

(h) Security for progress payments. In the event the Contractor fails to provide adequate security as required in this contract, no progress payment shall be made under this contract. Upon receipt of adequate security, progress payments shall be made, including all previous payments to which the Contractor is entitled, in accordance with the terms of the contract. If at any time the Contracting Officer determines that the security provided by the Contractor is insufficient, the Contractor shall promptly provide such additional security as the Contracting Officer determines necessary. In the event the Contractor fails to provide such additional security, the Contracting Officer may collect or liquidate such security that has been provided, and suspend further payments to the Contractor; the Contractor shall repay to the Government the amount of unliquidated progress payments as the Contracting Officer at his sole discretion deems repayable.

(i) Special terms regarding termination for cause. If this contract is terminated for cause, the Contractor shall, on demand, repay to the Government the amount of unliquidated progress payments. The Government shall be liable for no payment except as provided by the Termination for Cause paragraph of the clause at Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions—Commercial Products and Commercial Services.

(j) Reservation of rights.

(1) No payment, vesting of title under this clause, or other action taken by the Government under this clause shall-

(i) Excuse the Contractor from performance of obligations under this contract; or

(ii) Constitute a waiver of any of the rights or remedies of the parties under the contract.

(2) The Government’s rights and remedies under this clause-

(i) Shall not be exclusive, but rather shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or this contract; and

(ii) Shall not be affected by delayed, partial, or omitted exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall such exercise or any single exercise preclude or impair any further exercise under this clause or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege of the Government.

(k) Refund of unearned amounts. If the Contractor, after making a certified request for progress payments, discovers that a portion or all of such request constitutes a payment for performance by the Contractor that fails to conform to the specifications, terms, and conditions of this contract (hereinafter referred to as the "unearned amount"), the Contractor shall-

(1) Notify the Contracting Officer of such performance deficiency; and

(2) Be obligated to pay the Government an amount (computed by the Contracting Officer in the manner provided in paragraph (j) of this clause) equal to interest on the unearned amount from the 8th day after the date of receipt of the unearned amount until-

(i) The date the Contractor notifies the Contracting Officer that the performance deficiency has been corrected; or

(ii) The date the Contractor reduces the amount of any subsequent certified request for progress payments by an amount equal to the unearned amount.

(l) Retainage. If the Contracting Officer finds that satisfactory progress was achieved during any period for which a progress payment is to be made, the Contracting Officer shall authorize payment to be made in full. However, if satisfactory progress has not been made, the Contracting Officer may retain a maximum of 10 percent of the amount of the payment until satisfactory progress is achieved. When the work is substantially complete, the Contracting Officer may retain from previously withheld funds and future progress payments that amount the Contracting Officer considers adequate for protection of the Government and shall release to the Contractor all the remaining withheld funds. Also, on completion and acceptance of each separate building, public work, or other division of the contract, for which the price is stated separately in the contract, payment shall be made for the completed work without retention of a percentage.

(m) Title, liability, and reservation of rights. All material and work covered by progress payments made shall, at the time of payment, become the sole property of the Government, but this shall not be construed as-

(1) Relieving the Contractor from the sole responsibility for all material and work upon which payments have been made or the restoration of any damaged work; or

(2) Waiving the right of the Government to require the fulfillment of all the terms of the contract.

(3) The Government’s rights and remedies under this clause-

(i) Shall not be exclusive, but rather shall be in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or this contract; and

(ii) Shall not be affected by delayed, partial, or omitted exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege, nor shall such exercise or any single exercise preclude or impair any further exercise under this clause or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege of the Government.

(n) Reimbursement for bond premiums. In making these progress payments, the Government shall, upon request, reimburse the Contractor for the amount of premiums paid for performance and payment bonds (including coinsurance and reinsurance agreements, when applicable) after the Contractor has furnished evidence of full payment to the surety. The retainage provisions in paragraph (l) of this clause shall not apply to that portion of progress payments attributable to bond premiums.

(o) Final payment. The Government shall pay the amount due the Contractor under this contract after-

(1) Completion and acceptance of all work;

(2) Presentation of a properly executed voucher; and

(3) Presentation of release of all claims against the Government arising by virtue of this contract, other than claims, in stated amounts, that the Contractor has specifically excepted from the operation of the release. A release may also be required of the assignee if the Contractor’s claim to amounts payable under this contract has been assigned under the Assignment of Claims Act of1940 ( 31 U.S.C.3727 and 41 U.S.C. 6305).

(p) Limitation because of undefinitized work. Notwithstanding any provision of this contract, progress payments shall not exceed 80 percent on work accomplished on undefinitized contract acƟons. A "contract acƟon" is any acƟon resulƟng in a contract, as defined in FAR subpart 2.1, including contract modificaƟons for addiƟonal supplies or services, but not including contract modificaƟons that are within the scope and under the terms of the contract, such as contract modificaƟons issued pursuant to the Changes clause, or funding and other administraƟve changes. (End of clause)

Solicitation Information

Award Type

It is anƟcipated that a Firm-Fixed Price Purchase Order will be awarded as a result of this synopsis/solicitation.

The Government intends to make one award from this solicitaƟon. Therefore, to be considered responsive, contractors must submit pricing for all items.

Evaluation and Basis for Award:

The provision at FAR 52.212-2, EvaluaƟon—Commercial Products and Commercial Services is not applicable to this solicitaƟon. In lieu of this provision, quotes will be evaluated in accordance with FAR

12.203 based on the criteria listed below. Award will be made to the offeror represenƟng the lowest price technically acceptable to the Government.

Evaluation Method:

The Government will evaluate quotaƟons based on the lowest price technically acceptable criteria. Only the lowest priced offer will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. Should the lowest priced offer not receive an acceptable technical or past performance raƟng, the process will conƟnue in order of lowest priced offer unƟl the lowest price, technically acceptable offer with acceptable or neutral past performance is idenƟfied.

Award on IniƟal Responses: The government anƟcipates selecƟng the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable Offeror from iniƟal proposal, without engaging in exchanges with contractors.

Therefore, the Offeror’s iniƟal proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms. AŌer receipt of proposal, the Government will conduct an evaluaƟon. However, during the evaluaƟon process, the Government may, solely at its discreƟon, communicate with Offerors regarding proposal elements.

Factors are of equal importance.

The following evaluation factors will be used and performed using Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable for Factors 1 & 2 (see Table 1 below):

• Factor 1: Technical Approach (Project Schedule)

• Factor 2: Demonstrated Prior Experience

• Factor 3: Price Schedule

Technical Acceptability:

Technical Acceptability will be evaluated to receive an overall raƟng of "acceptable" or "unacceptable." This will be based on the offeror's ability to provide a sound and compliant approach that meets all requirements and shows a thorough understanding of them. It is the contractor's responsibility to ensure their quotaƟon clearly demonstrates their capability to meet these requirements.

Rating System:

The table below shows the ratings the Government will assign in its evaluation of quotes when evaluating Factors 1 & 2:

Table 1 - Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Offerors must receive and a “Acceptable” rating for the Technical Acceptability factor in order to be considered for award.

Initially, the Government technical evaluation team will evaluate the technical proposals using ratings of “Acceptable,” or “Unacceptable.” Failure to meet all requirements may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable.

Technical Approach (Project Schedule):

The Government will evaluate how the Offeror will:

How the Offeror will execute the technical requirements described in the Specifications (Labeled: Attachment 2 – Specifications and Attachment 3 – Drawings)

The way the Offeror proposes to plan, manage, control, and provide the required construction services and deliverables.

How a comprehensive schedule includes all activities for its contractor necessary to accomplish a project’s objectives as defined in the Specifications.

The Government will evaluate a project schedule based on the offeror’s proposed criƟcal path method.

1. Comprehensive, reflecting:

all activities as defined in the Specifications the labor, materials, and overhead needed to do the work how long each activity will take, allowing for discrete progress measurement with specific start and finish dates

2. Well-constructed, with:

all activities logically sequenced with predecessor and successor logic critical path method scheduling that contains all the work represented in logically linked activities representation the execution plan a critical path that determines which activities drive the project’s earliest completion date total float that accurately determines the schedule’s flexibility

No discussions will be held, so any excepƟons may cause the quotaƟon to be found technically unacceptable.

Demonstrated Prior Experience:

The Government may uƟlize any references provided by the Contractor, along with informaƟon available from past contracts/orders with the USDA and any informaƟon found using sources such as Federal Government sources or the Contractor Performance Assessment ReporƟng System (CPARS) to determine if the Contractor has acceptable or neutral Past Performance. Past Performance will be evaluated using the following raƟng system:

• Acceptable: The contractor shows a demonstrated ability to meet contract requirements in prior or current contracts, including quality of work, timeliness, cost control, business relations, and adherence to contract terms, or Offeror does not have a past performance record.

• Unacceptable: The contractor has a documented history of failing to meet contract requirements, including poor quality, missed deadlines, cost overruns, lack of responsiveness, or unethical behavior.

Price Schedule:

The offeror shall provide pricing as requested in the aƩached spreadsheet Ɵtled “AƩachment 1 – Schedule of Items”. The offeror’s quotaƟon will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 12.204, to determine if it is fair and reasonable.

Delivery Information

F.O.B. desƟnaƟon, is requested as the F.O.B. point for all deliverables.

All offers will be considered F.O.B. Destination unless F.O.B. origin is specified AND estimated shipping costs are included.

The USDA requires delivery of all items before the NoƟce to Proceed (NTP) will be issued. Early deliveries will be accepted.

Shipping Instructions:

Items shall be shipped to the following address:

Each of the parts shall be separate and complete so that evaluation of one may be accomplished independently from evaluation of the other. All documents shall be Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, or Adobe PDF.

(2) The Government will evaluate proposals in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in the Evaluation Method section above. Offeror must have an active entity registration at https://www.sam.gov/SAM/ in order to submit an offer.

In order to maximize efficiency and minimize the Ɵme for proposal evaluaƟon, it is required that all Offerors submit their proposals in accordance with the format and content specified. All offerors must provide the following minimum informaƟon and documentaƟon with their quotaƟons to be considered responsive and have their offers evaluated:

Proposal OrganizaƟon: The Offer or shall prepare the proposal as specified below:

Volume Title Copies Page Limit I Factor 1: Technical Approach 1 - Electronic Unlimited

Factor 2: Demonstrated Prior Experience

1 - Electronic 5

II Factor 3: Price Schedule (Excel) -Narrative -Price Proposal/Fill in SOI Attachment

1 - Electronic Unlimited

Page limitations given in the above chart are maximums.

Pages exceeding the limitations will not be read or considered in the evaluation.

Each side of an 8.5 X 11-inch page with printed text will count as one page.

Each side of an 11 X 17-inch page with printed text will count as two pages.

Font size shall be no less than 12-point, Times New Roman, except for lettering within tables, charts, graphics, and figures.

Font size for lettering within tables, charts, graphics, and figures shall be no less than 8-point. A font other than Times New Roman may be used. A single table, chart, graphic, or figure may not cover 60% of the page, and shall be used for illustrative purposes only and not used in lieu of main proposal text.

All four sides of each page shall have 1-inch margins (proprietary statements, security markings, and page numbers may be in the margin).

All pages are counted except for the following:

Cover Pages Tables of Contents List of Acronyms/Abbreviations Glossaries Lists of Figures, Tables, or Drawings Tabs and Dividers Blank Pages

(b) Technical Proposal Instructions

The technical proposal will be used to make an evaluaƟon and arrive at a determinaƟon as to whether the proposal will meet the requirements of the Government. Therefore, the technical proposal must present sufficient informaƟon to reflect a thorough understanding of the requirements and a detailed descripƟon of techniques, procedures and program for achieving the objecƟves of the specificaƟons/statement of work.

At a minimum the technical proposal should clearly address the following:

Volume I. Technical Approach (Project Schedule)/Demonstrated Prior Experience

Factor 1. Technical Approach (Project Schedule)

The schedule shall realisƟcally reflect how long each acƟvity will take and be planned so that criƟcal project dates can be met. To do this, acƟviƟes need to be logically sequenced-that is, listed in the order in which they are to be carried out.

Date constraints and lags should be minimized and jusƟfied to help ensure that the interdependence of acƟviƟes that collecƟvely lead to the compleƟon of events can be established and used to guide work and measure progress. The schedule shall reflect the resources (labor, materials, overhead) needed to do the work, whether they will be available when needed, and any Ɵme constraints.

The schedule shall idenƟfy the project criƟcal path-the path of longest duraƟon through the sequence of acƟviƟes. In addiƟon, the schedule shall idenƟfy reasonable float (or slack)- the amount of Ɵme by which a predecessor acƟvity can slip before the delay affects the project’s esƟmated finish date-so that the schedule’s flexibility can be determined. The amount of detail shall be sufficient to idenƟfy the longest path of acƟviƟes through the enƟre project.

Describe the Offeror’s proposed technical approach for compleƟng the project tasks for saƟsfying the Government’s performance requirements idenƟfied in the Plans/Technical Requirements. Also, idenƟfy the tasks to be completed by sub-contractors, and provide their company names. Provide technical capabiliƟes narraƟve of the proposed their subcontractors.

Offeror shall also include any other relevant informaƟon necessary to demonstrate an understanding of, or technical capability to complete, the requirements wriƩen in this solicitaƟon.

Factor 2. Demonstrated Prior Experience

Offerors shall provide relevant Experience and provide a list of similar projects completed by your firm over the past five years. Include a brief descripƟon of the project, dollar amount, year completed, and project owner contact informaƟon (name, phone, and email). The government may use past performance informaƟon from any available source. If a company does not have past performance informaƟon available, informaƟon may be provided for predecessor companies, key personnel, or subcontractors. Offerors must provide a minimum of three (3) recent and relevant projects performed in the last 5 years from the date of issuance of this solicitaƟon and demonstrate a minimum of one (1) year experience.

The Offeror shall provide sufficient informaƟon for the Government to evaluate its minimum requirement, regarding the Offeror’s demonstrated prior experience it aligns to the requirements of the SpecificaƟons, and the RFQ.

NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Ombudsman Program

The USDA is commiƩed to issuing solicitaƟons and awarding contracts in a fair and prompt manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to address protest issues within the agency, providing an alternaƟve to costly and Ɵme-consuming liƟgaƟon. OperaƟng independently, OPAP offers relief comparable to that granted by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). Interested parƟes are encouraged to resolve concerns through USDA’s internal AlternaƟve Dispute ResoluƟon (ADR) process before pursuing external forums such as the GAO.

Concerns may be addressed informally or through a formal agency protest filed with either the ContracƟng Officer or the Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman

1. Initial Point of Contact: Interested parties who believe a specific USDA procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer.

2. Escalation: If the Contracting Officer is unable to address their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the USDA Ombudsman for Agency Protests.

Under this informal process, the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Utilization of the informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a formal protest with the agency or other forums.

3. Required Information: To ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman

1. Effort to Resolve: Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions.

2. Independent Review: If the protester’s concerns remain unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest with either the Contracting Officer or, alternatively, with the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract awards or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless justified in writing for urgent and compelling reasons or determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government.

3. Resolution Timeline: The agency’s goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from the date of filing.

4. Required Information: Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.104(a)(3). Failure to submit the required information may result in a delay or dismissal of the protest.

5. Timeliness: Protests must be filed within the timeframes specified in FAR 33.104.

6. Submission: Formal protests under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to SPE.inquiry@usda.gov and the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. By initiating a protest with the USDA, the protester agrees not to pursue the same matter with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or any other external forum while the agency protest is pending. If a protest is filed externally, the agency protest will be dismissed
