(a) Pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127(l)(2), the offeror certifies that—

(1) If awarded a contract (see FAR 2.101 definition), it will comply with the limitations on subcontracting requirement as provided in the solicitation and the resultant contract, as follows:

(i) [] Services. In the case of a contract for services (except construction), the contractor will not pay more than 50% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 50% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Other direct costs may be excluded to the extent they are not the principal purpose of the acquisition and small business concerns do not provide the service as set forth in 13 CFR 125.6.

(ii) [] General construction. In the case of a contract for general construction, the contractor will not pay more than 85% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 85% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(iii) [] Special trade construction contractors. In the case of a contract for special trade contractors, the contractor will not pay more than 75% of the amount paid by the government to it to firms that are not certified SDVOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–73 or certified VOSBs listed in the SBA certification database as set forth in 852.219–74. Any work that a similarly situated certified SDVOSB/VOSB subcontractor further subcontracts will count towards the 75% subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. Cost of materials are excluded and not considered to be subcontracted.

(2) The offeror acknowledges that this certification concerns a matter within the jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States. The offeror further acknowledges that this certification is subject to Title 18, United States Code, Section 1001, and, as such, a false, fictitious, or fraudulent certification may render the offeror subject to criminal, civil, or administrative penalties, including prosecution.

(3) If VA determines that an SDVOSB/ VOSB awarded a contract pursuant to 38 U.S.C. 8127 did not act in good faith, such SDVOSB/VOSB shall be subject to any or all of the following:

(i) Referral to the VA Suspension and Debarment Committee;

(ii) A fine under section 16(g)(1) of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 645(g)(1)); and

(iii) Prosecution for violating 18 U.S.C. 1001.

(b) The offeror represents and understands that by submission of its offer and award of a contract it may be required to provide copies of documents or records to VA that VA may review to determine whether the offeror complied with the limitations on subcontracting requirement specified in the contract. Contracting officers may, at their discretion, require the contractor to demonstrate its compliance with the limitations on subcontracting at any time during performance and upon completion of a contract if the information regarding such compliance is not already available to the contracting officer. Evidence of compliance includes, but is not limited to, invoices, copies of subcontracts, or a list of the value of tasks performed.

(c) The offeror further agrees to cooperate fully and make available any documents or records as may be required to enable VA to determine compliance with the limitations on subcontracting requirement. The offeror understands that failure to provide documents as requested by VA may result in remedial action as the Government deems appropriate.

(d) Offeror completed certification/fill-in required. The formal certification must be completed, signed and returned with the offeror’s bid, quotation, or proposal. The Government will not consider offers for award from offerors that do not provide the certification, and all such responses will be deemed ineligible for evaluation and award.

Certification I hereby certify that if awarded the contract, [insert name of offeror] will comply with the limitations on subcontracting specified in this clause and in the resultant contract. I further certify that I am authorized to execute this certification on behalf of [insert name of offeror].

BASIS FOR AWARD

1. INTRODUCTION:

This is a price-only selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 16.505(b), Orders under multiple-award contracts, supplemented by the Department of Veterans Affairs Acquisition Regulation (VAAR). These regulations are available electronically at https://www.acquisition.gov/ and https://www.va.gov/oal/library/vaar/

2. EVALUATION:

Price Only -- The Government will evaluate the lowest price offer to determine if the price is fair and reasonable for the work to be performed. To be considered fair and reasonable for the work performed, the evaluators will also check for appearance of unbalanced line-item prices. If deemed necessary, the supplemental price breakdown information will be used to assist the Government in performing the price evaluation described above. Offers that are materially unbalanced as to prices for the basic requirement and the option quantities are not fair and reasonable. An Offer is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than the cost for some work and prices that are significantly overstated for other work.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP):

A notice to proceed shall be issued after the award of a fully executed contract. The NTP date and time are “to be determined” after the award to a successful contractor. The primary factor in the determination to issue NTP shall be the Prime Contractor submission of, and the Government review and approval of both Payment and Performance Bonds, both of which are enforceable legal documents.

PERFORMANCE & PAYMENT BONDS:

In accordance with FAR 28.102-1 and Contract Clause 52.228-15, offerors are reminded that any award amount over $35,000 shall require a Payment Bond (or other acceptable protection – see clause FAR 52.228-13), and awards exceeding $150,000 shall require both Payment and Performance Bonds. All bonds are due no later than 10 calendar days after award.

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: N/A

WAGE DETERMINATION APPLICABLE TO THIS PROJECT:

BRAND NAME OR EQUAL:

The RFP may include the salient characteristics of the “or equal” aspect for the determination of what is equal to any cited brand name. See FAR 52.211-6 for “brand name or equal” information. Wherever a brand name is cited, the contractor shall ensure, in any resultant contract, that any equal has the salient characteristics of the brand name. Lack of confirmation shall be grounds for Government direction to replace materials or equipment by the Contractor at no additional cost or extension of the period of performance.

SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM):

Federal Acquisition Regulations require that federal contractors shall register in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at http://www.sam.gov and enter all mandatory information into the system.

Documentation of training shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for review and approval prior to any work being performed. No ID badge will be issued to an employee who does not provide this documentation. There shall be no exceptions to this requirement.

PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY:

Contractors to the Department of Veteran Affairs may be unintentionally exposed to sensitive information. Information may be overheard, seen on documents or electronic devices, or observed that could potentially violate the privacy and confidentiality of our veterans, employees, volunteers, and their families. Regulations such as, but not limited to the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and Privacy Act of 1974 have been enacted to protect sensitive information from being improperly disclosed. Information should not be divulged or released to anyone unless specifically authorized by this contract or its’ attached documents in accordance with the contracted services. Failure to comply with applicable statutes and regulation can result in the termination of this contract and civil and criminal penalties, including fines and imprisonment. All suspected or actual breeches of privacy and confidentiality should be reported immediately to the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or the Facility Privacy Officer.
