A-76 REQUIREMENT

Note paragraph entitled FAR 52.207-3, Right of First Refusal of Employment in Section I.

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)

Payment terms are set forth in the Prompt Payment clause in this solici-tation.

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.

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.

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.

QUALITY CONTROL PLAN (QCP)

The contracting Officer (CO) must accept a completed Quality Control Plan (QCP) prior to award of a con-tract. The QCP will be specific to the contract specification and location(s) in accordance with the provi-sions and requirements of the solicitation.

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.
