If the quantity of a unit priced item in this contract is an estimated quantity and the actual quantity of the unit priced item varies more than 15 percent above or below the estimated quantity, an equitable adjustment in the contract price shall be made upon demand of either party. The equitable adjustment shall be based upon an increase or decrease in costs due solely to the variation above 115 percent or below 85 percent of the estimated quantity. If the quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary for completion, the Contractor may request, in writing, an extension of time, to be received by the Contracting Officer within 10 days from the beginning of the delay, or within such further period as may be granted by the Contracting Officer before the date of final settlement of the contract. Upon the receipt of a written request for an extension, the Contracting Officer shall ascertain the facts and make an adjustment for extending the completion date as, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, is justified.

(End of Clause)

7. The following notes apply to CLIN 0002, Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment (FF&E):

RFP N62742-25-R-1311

SF 1442 (Continued)

a. Government Estimated Amount for FF&E. The Government Estimate for FF&E, as shown above (SLIN 0002AA), includes the material cost, freight and installation charges. The Government Estimate has been identified to provide offerors with the projected magnitude of effort for FF&E. The Government Estimate includes the actual material cost including freight and installation charges and Prime Contractor’s proposed Handling and Administrative Rate (HAR).

b. Prime Contractor Handling and Administration Rate (HAR). Offerors may propose a HAR fee in SLIN 0002AB, up to but not to exceed 5%, for the handling and administration of the FF&E. This fee will account for all administrative costs, overhead, bonding fees, administration of subcontractors, profit and any other costs associated with and related to the coordination and processing of the procurement and installation of the FF&E. The prime contractor’s proposed HAR mark-up shall be applied to the Government Estimate to derive a total proposed price for

SLIN 0002AB.

c. The prime contractor’s HAR percentage rate will be incorporated into the contract as proposed and will not be adjusted regardless of fluctuations in the Government Estimate. The HAR is a fixed percentage rate. When the final FF&E package is priced, the contractor’s HAR percentage rate, as incorporated into the contract, shall be applied to the supplier/vendor quotes to derive a total proposed price for final negotiation of the planned modification.

d. It is anticipated that a planned modification will be awarded at least nine months prior to the completion of the work. The planned modification will be issued after receipt of appropriate funding. A minimum of nine months is required for the contractor to purchase, deliver and install the FF&E without impacting the overall completion date of the project. No schedule extensions will be granted if the modification is executed at least nine months prior to the contract completion date. If the Government decides to negotiate and award the modification with less than nine months prior to the contract completion date, the contractor may be entitled to a contract extension.

8. DFARS 252.247-7023, TRANSPORTATION OF SUPPLIES BY SEA. Within 30 days of each shipment, the Contractor is required to provide an electronic copy of the carrier’s bill of lading to the Contracting Officer and to MARAD via email. MARAD email: Cargo.MARAD@dot.gov (attn.: MIL team). In addition, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer when oceanic shipments have been initiated within 3 working days of shipment.

9. CONTRACTOR LICENSING REQUIREMENTS FOR WORK OUTSIDE THE UNITED STATES.

Contractors must be duly authorized to operate and conduct business in any host country and must comply with all laws, decrees, labor standards, and regulations of the host country during the performance of the contract. The United States may have a Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA), Force Posture Agreement, and other agreements with some countries and those agreements must be complied with. Unless explicitly provided in the RFP, the U.S.

Government will not offer “Unites States Official Contractor,” “Technical Representative,” or similar status under any SOFA; nor will the U.S. Government certify any employees of a contractor as “Members of the Civilian Component” under a SOFA. Offerors are expected to familiarize themselves with the laws of host

(ii) (A) Any proposal, modification, or revision received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

(1) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of proposals; or

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(iii) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the proposal wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(iv) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at 52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals.

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall-

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend:

This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed-in whole or in part-for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of-or in connection with-the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend:

Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award. (1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government’s best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency’s evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror’s offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

The hours of minority and female employment and training must be substantially uniform throughout the length of the contract, and in each trade. The Contractor shall make a good faith effort to employ minorities and women evenly on each of its projects. The transfer of minority or female employees or trainees from Contractor to Contractor, or from project to project, for the sole purpose of meeting the Contractor's goals shall be a violation of the contract, Executive Order 11246, as amended, and the regulations in 41 CFR 60.4.
