Species identification shall be confirmed with the COR prior to the Notice to Proceed for seed collection.

2. Stage of Maturity: All species shall be harvested when the seed maturity is at the hard dough stage or later.

The stage of seed maturity should be checked by cross sectioning several seeds from each site using a knife or fingernail clippers and a hand lens to confirm maturity. If seed is at an early hard dough stage Contractor will collect a larger portion of the stem and allow seed to dry and mature while attached to the stem.

3. Purity: Take precautions to ensure that non target species are not accidentally collected and mixed during the collection process. Often it is impossible to separate similar species once mixed together.

Colorado Bulk Seed Collection 40669068 Page 5 of 23

c. Significant damages (such as cut limbs or crushing) to the parent plant should not be incurred during seed collection.

d. Seed heads may be cut off just below the flower inflorescence, however cutting shears must be sterilized with a 7% bleach solution or 70-90% rubbing alcohol between accessions to prevent disease spread.

e. Care must be taken to avoid weedy areas in order to avoid seed contamination and the spread of non-natives.

f. No off-road vehicle driving is allowed for collection. Vehicles must stay on designated roadbeds that are not overgrown with vegetation.

g. Seed collectors must provide the COR with a schedule of collection dates and locations and notify them of any changes to that schedule within 48 hours.

j. Seeds will be placed in paper (or industry standard cloth or seed bags) bags with sufficient air exchange and labeled with species name, bulk weight, seed collector’s name, general site location, and date written on the bag. The bag will be secured to reduce material loss.

k. Storage of seed: To prevent damage of seed by mold development, at the end of each collection day, air dry collected seed. Properly store all seed. Bulk material shall be stored such that it has good ventilation and dries properly per standard seed handling procedures.

l. Seed bags will be kept in a cool, dry place during all phases of collection, handling, cleaning and storage. Seed shall also be protected from animal predation by storage in appropriate containers.

6. Seed Storage: Seed shall not be allowed to become wet, predated, placed in direct sunlight, or hot (over 900) after harvest. Dry and allow seed to mature as necessary prior to shipping for cleaning. Ensure that temporary storage materials are free of non-target (including non-native) seed.

7. Seed Delivery: All seed delivered shall conform to all laws and regulations pertaining to the sale and shipment of seed required by the Federal Seed Act and Colorado State Seed laws and according to SOS protocols. Seed shall be shipped in a manner that will prevent damage to the seed and arrive expeditiously at the Bend Seed Extractory or Dorena Genetics Resource Center, as determined by the COR. Seed shall be shipped once seed is dried down. Seed is to remain dry, in breathable seed bags, and unmixed (meaning one accession is not mixed with another) upon delivery. The Contractor shall provide notification to the COR one week before the seed is shipped to ensure Bend/Dorena is prepared for the shipment. Tracking numbers shall be provided to COR at the time of shipment.

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS - CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT REPORTING SYSTEM (DEC 2015)

FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award.

Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting “Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation”.

Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS- RC marked as “Pending” with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated:

"The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

Colorado Bulk Seed Collection 40669068 Page 12 of 23

A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.
