AFFIRMATIVE PROCUREMENT PROGRAM (APP)

GSA has implemented an Affirmative Procurement Program intended to maximize the use of recovered materials, environmentally preferable, and bio-based products. Offerors should familiarize themselves with the requirements for using and reporting on the use of such materials in performance under any re-sultant contract.

FAR 23.7 requires consideration of environmental factors when purchasing products and services. FAR

4.303 and FAR 52.204-4 require double sided printing on recycled paper for all reports required by this contract. FAR 52.223-10 encourages vendors to practice waste reduction.

SAFEGUARDING DOCUMENTS

Associated plans, drawings, or specifications provided under this solicitation are intended for use by pro-spective bidders/offerors (and their subcontractors and suppliers). In support of this requirement, GSA requires bidders/offerors to exercise reasonable care when handling documents relating to building draw-ings/plans, security equipment, security equipment installations, and contract guard service, to include:

1) Limiting reproduction and/or dissemination of covered materials only to persons/parties related to this acquisition or otherwise authorized to receive such information;

2) Making every possible effort that is reasonable and prudent to prevent unauthorized disclosure of this information;

3) Upon award and completion of any appeals process, unsuccessful bidders/offerors making every rea-sonable and prudent effort to destroy or render useless all information/documentation received during the solicitation and/or appeals process; and

4) The awardee continuing the efforts required above throughout the entire term of contract and for what specific time thereafter as may be necessary, as determined by the awardee.

GSAR 552.219-72 PREPARATION, SUBMISSION, AND NEGOTIATION OF SUBCONTRACTING

PLANS (OCTOBER 2016)

(a) When submitting a subcontracting plan in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, the offeror shall submit a subcontracting plan with its initial offer. The subcontracting plan will be negotiated concurrently with price and any required technical and management proposals, unless the offeror submits a previously-approved commercial plan.

(b) Maximum practicable utilization of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors is a mat-ter of national interest with both social and economic benefits. The General Services Administration (GSA) expects that an offeror’s subcontracting plan will reflect a commitment to assuring that small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns are provided the maximum practicable opportunity, consistent with effi-cient contract performance, to participate as subcontractors in the performance of the resulting contract.

An offeror submitting a commercial plan can reflect this commitment through subcontracting opportunities it provides that relate to the offeror’s production generally; i.e., for both its commercial and Government business.

(c) GSA believes that this potential contract provides significant opportunities for the use of small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns as subcontractors. Consequently, in addressing the eleven elements de-scribed at FAR 52.219-9(d) of the clause in this contract entitled Small Business Subcontracting Plan, the offeror shall:

(1) Demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involv-ing small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns in performing the contract.

(2) Include a description of the offeror’s subcontracting strategies used in any previous contracts, significant achievements, and how this plan will build upon those earlier achievements.

(3) Demonstrate through its plan that it understands the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations, and it is committed to taking those actions necessary to meet these goals or objectives.

(d) In determining the acceptability of any subcontracting plan, the Contracting Officer will take each of the following actions:

(1) Review the plan to verify that the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the small business subcontracting program’s objectives and GSA’s expectations with respect to the program and has includ-ed all the information, goals, and assurances required by FAR 52.219-9.

(2) Consider previous goals and achievements of contractors in the same industry.

(3) Consider information and potential sources obtained from agencies administering national and local preference programs and other advocacy groups in evaluating whether the goals stated in the plan adequately reflect the anticipated potential for subcontracting to small, HUBZone small, small disadvan-taged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns.

(4) Review the offeror’s description of its strategies, historical performance and significant achieve-ments in placing subcontracts for the same or similar products or services with small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns. The offeror’s description can apply to commercial as well as previous Government contracts.

(e) Failure to submit an acceptable subcontracting plan and/or correct deficiencies in a plan within the time specified by the Contracting Officer shall make the offeror ineligible for award.

(End of provision)

LICENSE REQUIREMENTS

Offerors should note the requirements of paragraph entitled License Requirement, that evidence of hav-ing or having made application for all appropriate permits and licenses for the state specified must be submitted with their offer.

NOTICE CONCERNING COMPLETION OF SOLICITATIONS

Offerors are cautioned to carefully read the entire solicitation in order to be fully aware of all requirements, provisions and clauses. Fill-ins should be properly completed and verified. All copies should contain the same information. Verify calculations before signing your bid.

Offerors shall submit with their offer the following documents:

• See Section of the Solicitation, II.A. Proposal Content and II.E. Other Information

BOND REQUIREMENTS

BID GUARANTEE AND BOND ARE REQUIRED

If a bid guarantee is required to be submitted with your offer, any contract awarded will require a perfor-mance bond as specified in this solicitation. Offerors who utilize individual sureties should note (1) the requirement for a certified, audited, financial statement for each person acting as an individual surety (see Section L, clause entitled FAR 52.228-1 Bid Guarantee) and (2) the requirements of the clause entitled FAR 52.228-11 Pledge of Assets in Section I.

If bonds are required, also note the requirements of the various bid guarantee and bond clauses in Sec-tion I. For example, a new performance bond is required if a contract option for an additional perfor-mance period is exercised.

See attachments: Standard Form 24

SITE VISIT

Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site consti-tute grounds for a claim after contract award. See the following sections:

I.G. FAR 52.236-27 Site Visit – Construction

I.D. Pre-Proposal Conference

CONTRACTOR DATA UNIVERSAL NUMBERING SYSTEM (DUNS) NUMBER.

Enter your DUNS number in Block 15A on the first page of this solicitation. If you do not know or do not have a DUNS number please contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. A DUNS number will be provided immediately by telephone at no charge to you. For information on obtaining a DUNS number, you should call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711.

(1) Company name, (2) Company address, (3) Company telephone number, (4) Line of business, (5) Chief executive officer/key manager, (6) Date the company was started, (7) Number of people employed by the company, (8) Company affiliation.

FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA) REQUESTS

It is not necessary to reference the FOIA when requesting procurement history, such as the name of the current contractor, contract amount, contract copies, or abstracts of bids. For this information, you may contact the point of contact shown in Block 10 on the first page of the solicitation.

USE OF EXPRESS PACKAGE CARRIERS

Because of increased security standards and building renovations, “next-day” express package carriers may experience delays in making deliveries within the Chicago Loop Federal Center. Offerors should take this fact into consideration when determining when to submit their offers.

SOLICITATION COPIES

Note that Block 9 on the first page of the solicitation specifies the number of copies of the offer that must be returned by offerors.

PROMPT PAYMENT DISCOUNT

Block 13 on the first page of the solicitation and possibly the solicitation pricing page(s), is to be used to offer prompt payment discounts. Payment terms are set forth in the Prompt Payment clause in this solici-tation. Offerors are cautioned against inserting any statement that indicates that payment is due sooner that the time stipulated in the Prompt Payment clause. EXAMPLE: Inserting "Net 20" may cause the of-fer to be rejected as unacceptable, because the entry would be contrary to the 30-day payment terms specified in the Prompt Payment clause.

EVALUATING CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE

The General Services Administration is using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) module as the secure, confidential, information management tool to facilitate the performance evaluation process. CPARS enables a comprehensive evaluation by capturing comments from both GSA and the contractor. The website for CPARS is https://www.cpars.gov.

Completed CPARS evaluations are sent to the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) which may then be used by Federal acquisition community for use in making source selection decisions.

PPIRS assists acquisition officials by serving as the single source for contractor past performance data.

CPARS Registration

Each award requiring an evaluation must be registered in CPARS. The contractor will receive several au-tomated emails. Within thirty days of award, the contractor will receive an e-mail that contains user ac-count information, as well as the applicable contract and order number(s) assigned.

Contractors will be granted one user account to access all evaluations.

CPARS Training

Contractors may sign up for CPARS training. Training courses are available at the CPARS training site (https://www.cpars.gov/webtrain.htm) and updated as needed.

CPARS Role_Contractor Representative (CR)

All evaluations will be sent the Contractor Representative (CR) named on your award. Access to CPARS will be granted to the CR after the award is registered in the system.

https://www.cpars.gov/ https://www.cpars.gov/webtrain.htm

The CR will be able to access CPARS to review and comment on the evaluation. If your CR is not already in the CPARS system, the contracting officer will request the name and email address of the person that will be responsible for the CR role on your award.

Once an evaluation is ready to be released the CR will receive an email alerting them the evaluation is ready for their review and comment. The email will indicate the time frame the CR has to respond to the evaluation; however, the CR may return the evaluation earlier than this date.

The contractor must promptly notify the Contracting Officer of any change in their CR to allow the update to be made in the system.

GSA shall provide for review at a level above the contracting officer (i.e., contracting director) to consider any disagreement between GSA and the contractor regarding GSA’s evaluation of the contractor. Based on the review, the individual at a level above the contracting officer will issue the ultimate conclusion on the performance evaluation.

Copies of the evaluations, contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file.

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP)

Notice to Proceed (NTP) will NOT be issued until the COR has officially notified the CO that approved clearances for proposed employees have been received and approved.

AVAILABILITY OF FUNDS

Funds are not presently available for award. The Government's obligation under this contract is contin-gent upon the availability of appropriated funds. No legal liability on the part of the Government may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer.

The Solicitation

552.219-71 Notice to Offerors of Subcontracting Plan Requirements (MAR 2012)

The General Services Administration (GSA) is committed to assuring that maximum practicable opportunity is provided to small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned small business concerns to participate in the performance of this contract consistent with its efficient performance. GSA expects any subcontracting plan submitted pursuant to FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan, to reflect this commitment. Consequently, an offeror, other than a small business concern, before being awarded a contract exceeding $700,000 ($1,500,000 for construction), must demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and innovative program for involving small, HUBZone small, small disadvantaged, women-owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled vet

Notice of Commercial Package Carriers Because of increased security standards, commercial package carriers may experience delays in making deliveries to the address designated for receipt of offers. United States Mail delivered to Government offices in the Washington, DC area is subject to irradiation, significantly delaying deliveries and potentially damaging or defacing mail contents. Offerors should take these facts into consideration when determining how and when to transmit offers to the office designated for receipt.
