B-001 - OVERVIEW

The Cyber Protection (CP) program within the Department of State’s Bureau of Diplomatic Security, Directorate of Cyber and Technology Security, Office of Cyber Monitoring and Operations, Cyber Operations (DS/CTS/CMO/CO) Division manages a comprehensive portfolio of cybersecurity tools deployed to secure the Department of State’s (DOS) networks and data that will be supported by the technical refresh of the Department’s Enterprise Vulnerability Scanning Solution (EVSS).

The acquisition objective of EVSS is to acquire a new comprehensive contract solution that will incorporate elements of existing contract vehicles and add a new training component to ensure the most efficient execution of the solution that DOS requires to provide analysis, monitoring, reporting, configuration, as well as policy and device management, thus allowing continuity of services for the next ten-year period.

B-002 - SCHEDULE OF SERVICES AND PRICES (PRICING SPREADSHEET)

Pricing Spreadsheet (Reference Attachment 2)

B-003 - OVERTIME

a) Overtime is defined as time worked in excess of the number of hours in a normal workweek, pursuant to FAR 22.103-1 (Overtime).

b) Costs and fixed fees in this contract are based on a normal workweek of 40 hours (8 hours/day x 5 days/week) for performance inside the United States.

c) Payment for overtime must be authorized in advance of any Contractor employee’s performance of overtime and in writing by the Contracting Officer when the Contractor requests an overtime premium cost that exceeds $0.00. Such request shall be submitted in writing to the Contracting Officer and shall address each item under FAR 52.222-2(b) (Payment for Overtime Premiums).

d) Evidence showing the Contracting Officer’s approval shall be sent with each invoice on which overtime containing a premium cost that exceeds $0.00 is being billed.

e) While FAR 52.222-2(a) provides advance authorization for any Contractor employee’s performance of overtime when the overtime premium cost does not exceed $0.00, the Contractor agrees to perform this contract, so far as practicable, without using overtime, particularly as a regular employment practice, except when lower overall costs to the Government will result or when it is necessary to meet urgent program needs [reference FAR 22.103-2 (Overtime – Policy)].

f) Payment for overtime must not conflict with any Contractor uncompensated overtime policy or practice. If the Contractor has such a policy or practice, the Government will not compensate the Contractor for overtime costs in accordance with such policy or practice.

g) Unless advance authorization has been granted pursuant to Section B.9(c), any Government payment for Contractor employee overtime will be made at the actual incurred straight-time hourly labor rate that the Contractor pays the Contractor employee and determined allowable by the Contracting Officer, pursuant to FAR 31.201-2 (Determining Allowability).

B-005 - TYPE OF CONTRACT

This is a hybrid contract that will consist of Firm Fixed Price (FFP), Cost Reimbursable (CR), and potentially Time & Materials or Labor Hours (LH) components. FFP is both feasible and practical for the hardware/software purchases, licenses, integration activities, program management, training deliveries, and technical support for the EVSS effort to include the support desk requirement. Due to the need for travel to various DOS facilities in the metropolitan Washington DC area, CR travel costs would be required. In addition, T&M or LH pricing may be used, depending on the most efficient way to provide technical support and training deliveries presented in the technical approach of the winning contractor.

C-002 - PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

D-005 - WARRANTY NOTIFICATION

In accordance with FAR 46.706(b)(5), the Contractor shall stamp or mark the supplies delivered, or otherwise furnish notice with the supplies, of the existence of a warranty, if any. Sufficient information shall be presented for supply personnel and users to identify warranted supplies. Warranty information shall include the terms and duration of the warranty and the name and telephone number of the Contracting Officer to be notified if the supplies are found to be defective.

(end of clause)

E-001 - QUALITY ASSURANCE SURVEILLANCE PLAN (QASP)

The Government will perform those quality assurance procedures that may be necessary to verify that performance is in accordance with the terms of the contract. Government quality assurance will be performed routinely by the Contracting Officer’s Representative;

however, other activities may be called upon to support this effort as required. The Contracting Officer’s Representative or designated quality assurance evaluators will record all surveillance observations and will maintain a file of all inspection results. Successive months of unsatisfactory performance may result in other appropriate action(s) by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the Inspections clause, including Termination for Default. Any action taken by the Contracting Officer as a result of surveillance will be in accordance with the terms of the FAR.

Methods of Surveillance: The Government may use a variety of surveillance methods to evaluate the Contractor’s performance.

These include, but are not limited to, random sampling of recurring services, periodic surveillance of the Contractor’s quality control program and audit of financial statements and customer complaints.

52.246-2 - Inspection of Supplies-Fixed-Price (Aug 1996)

(a) Definition. "Supplies," as used in this clause, includes but is not limited to raw materials, components, intermediate assemblies, end products, and lots of supplies.

(b) The Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering supplies under this contract and shall tender to the Government for acceptance only supplies that have been inspected in accordance with the inspection system and have been found by the Contractor to be in conformity with contract requirements. As part of the system, the Contractor shall prepare records evidencing all inspections made under the system and the outcome. These records shall be kept complete and made available to the Government during contract performance and for as long afterwards as the contract requires. The Government may perform reviews and evaluations as reasonably necessary to ascertain compliance with this paragraph. These reviews and evaluations shall be conducted in a manner that will not unduly delay the contract work. The right of review, whether exercised or not, does not relieve the Contractor of the obligations under the contract.

(c) The Government has the right to inspect and test all supplies called for by the contract, to the extent practicable, at all places and times, including the period of manufacture, and in any event before acceptance. The Government shall perform inspections and tests in a manner that will not unduly delay the work. The Government assumes no contractual obligation to perform any inspection and test for the benefit of the Contractor unless specifically set forth elsewhere in this contract.

(d) If the Government performs inspection or test on the premises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the Contractor shall furnish, and shall require subcontractors to furnish, at no increase in contract price, all reasonable facilities and assistance for the safe and convenient performance of these duties. Except as otherwise provided in the contract, the Government shall bear the expense of Government inspections or tests made at other than the Contractor's or subcontractor's premises; provided, that in case of rejection, the Government shall not be liable for any reduction in the value of inspection or test samples.

(e)(1) When supplies are not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, the Contracting Officer may charge to the Contractor the additional cost of inspection or test.

(2) The Contracting Officer may also charge the Contractor for any additional cost of inspection or test when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary.

(f) The Government has the right either to reject or to require correction of nonconforming supplies. Supplies are nonconforming when they are defective in material or workmanship or are otherwise not in conformity with contract requirements. The Government may reject nonconforming supplies with or without disposition instructions.

(g) The Contractor shall remove supplies rejected or required to be corrected. However, the Contracting Officer may require or permit correction in place, promptly after notice, by and at the expense of the Contractor. The Contractor shall not tender for acceptance corrected or rejected supplies without disclosing the former rejection or requirement for correction, and, when required, shall disclose the corrective action taken.

(h) If the Contractor fails to promptly remove, replace, or correct rejected supplies that are required to be removed or to be replaced or corrected, the Government may either (1) by contract or otherwise, remove, replace, or correct the supplies and charge the cost to the Contractor or (2) terminate the contract for default. Unless the Contractor corrects or replaces the supplies within the delivery schedule, the Contracting Officer may require their delivery and make an equitable price reduction. Failure to agree to a price reduction shall be a dispute.

(i)(1) If this contract provides for the performance of Government quality assurance at source, and if requested by the Government, the Contractor shall furnish advance notification of the time--

(i) When Contractor inspection or tests will be performed in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract; and

(ii) When the supplies will be ready for Government inspection.

(2) The Government's request shall specify the period and method of the advance notification and the Government representative to whom it shall be furnished. Requests shall not require more than 2 workdays of advance notification if the Government representative is in residence in the Contractor's plant, nor more than 7 workdays in other instances.

(j) The Government shall accept or reject supplies as promptly as practicable after delivery, unless otherwise provided in the contract.

Government failure to inspect and accept or reject the supplies shall not relieve the Contractor from responsibility, nor impose liability on the Government, for nonconforming supplies.

(k) Inspections and tests by the Government do not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for defects or other failures to meet contract requirements discovered before acceptance. Acceptance shall be conclusive, except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or as otherwise provided in the contract.

(l) If acceptance is not conclusive for any of the reasons in paragraph (k) hereof, the Government, in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law, or under other provisions of this contract, shall have the right to require the Contractor (1) at no increase in contract price, to correct or replace the defective or nonconforming supplies at the original point of delivery or at the Contractor's plant at the Contracting Officer's election, and in accordance with a reasonable delivery schedule as may be agreed upon between the Contractor and the Contracting Officer; provided, that the Contracting Officer may require a reduction in contract price if the Contractor fails to meet such delivery schedule, or (2) within a reasonable time after receipt by the Contractor of notice of defects or nonconformance, to repay such portion of the contract as is equitable under the circumstances if the Contracting Officer elects not to require correction or replacement. When supplies are returned to the Contractor, the Contractor shall bear the transportation cost from the original point of delivery to the Contractor's plant and return to the original point when that point is not the Contractor's plant. If the Contractor fails to perform or act as required in paragraph (l)(1) or (l)(2) of this clause and does not cure such failure within a period of 10 days (or such longer period as the Contracting Officer may authorize in writing) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying such failure, the Government shall have the right by contract or otherwise to replace or correct such supplies and charge to the Contractor the cost occasioned the Government thereby.
