Additional items may be added to the contractor’s catalog after initial IDIQ award to be ordered at the delivery order level, as long as the items are within the scope of the IDIQ and the items are added via bilateral modification and/or written authorization from the Contracting Officer. Items may also be deleted and/or updated.

II. Ordering Procedures

These ordering procedures are in accordance with FAR 16.505 Ordering.

1. Funding: Funding is obligated at the delivery order level and shall be the type of funding deemed appropriate for the supplies to be acquired.

2. Contract Type: The authorized contract type for delivery orders is Firm Fixed Price (FFP).

3. Ordering Media: Delivery orders will be solicited and awarded bilaterally via ASSIST. Other methods of communication, such as email, may be utilized on an as-needed basis.

4. Fair Opportunity: In accordance with FAR 16.505, the Contracting Officer must provide each awardee a fair opportunity to be considered for each order exceeding the micro-purchase threshold unless an exception at FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies. In order to provide a fair opportunity, Requests for Quote (RFQs) will be made available to each awardee, allowing each awardee an opportunity to submit a quote. RFQs will include a description of the supplies to be delivered (including the delivery date) and the basis upon which selection will be made. The submitted quotes will be fairly considered, and the resulting award will be based on the selection procedures stated in the order RFQ.

5. Award Solicitation and Selection Procedures: The Contracting Officer will provide an RFQ package in writing for each specific delivery order. The RFQ package will specify, at minimum:

1. The requirement;

2. Additional Clauses/Provisions unique to the Delivery Order, if applicable;

3. Any requirements specific to the Deliver Order, if applicable;

4. The desired delivery date;

5. CLIN structure;

6. Evaluation Factors;

7. Basis of Award

The Contracting Officer may exercise broad discretion in developing the most appropriate delivery order placement procedures. Formal evaluation plans or scoring of quotes or offers are not appropriate for orders competed under this IDIQ. The Contracting Officer will consider the nature of the requirement, the value of the requirement, the duration of the requirement, the extent of existing information (e.g., past performance information, existing quality control plans, etc.), and the extent of information requested when determining the order placement approach, submission requirements and response time. Whenever possible, the Contracting Officer shall keep contractor submission requirements to a minimum.

Price and/or cost will be included as an evaluation factor on all orders. A C-SCRM evaluation factor may be utilized on individual orders involving ICTs, as appropriate. Past performance on previous delivery orders under the IDIQ may be considered as part of evaluation, if available.

Individual orders may utilize a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) or trade-off approach, as appropriate for the specific order.

6. Delivery Order Pricing: Contractors are encouraged to propose discounts on the prices established on their IDIQ contract.

7. Brand Name Nature: All orders will be for various, specific brand name items. No substitutions are allowed to include offeror perceived "equal" products, as covered by Class Brand Name Justification numbered 47QFNA24K0047. BNJs will not be posted at the individual order level for this IDIQ.

III. IDIQ Awardee Off Ramp

The Government reserves the unilateral right to Off-Ramp non-performing Awardees. The following may result in Government action to remove an awardee via a unilateral contract action or not extend an Awardee’s period of performance (i.e. exercise option year(s)) and/or contract termination:

a. Failure to maintain overall satisfactory CPARS ratings (reference paragraph 12).

b. Repeated unexcused late deliveries and/or extension requests (reference paragraph 9).

c. Failure to submit all contract deliverables (reference paragraph 8).

d. Failure to resolve any identified risk associated with supply chain risks (reference paragraph 17).

e. When delivery order under the IDIQ contains items that are in offeror’s catalog, failure to submit bid or no-bid notice to CO. If rationale for no-bid is consistently not submitted or not fully justified, CO may at their discretion consider this during option exercise.

IV. Delivery, Tracking and Reporting Requirements

The Contractor shall deliver all required products to the location and the date specified in each individual delivery order. The Contractor shall review orders for quality and compliance prior to shipment.

Changes to delivery address(es) after award, if needed, will be negotiated via a bilateral modification to the delivery order.

The intent of the Government is to receive all items in accordance with the contracted delivery date(s). The Government will consider partial deliveries. If partial deliveries are quoted, the Offeror shall include a delivery schedule for all partial deliveries in its quote for Government review and consideration before award.

Delivered items will be subject to Government review, and if found defective will be returned to the Contractor at no additional cost to the Government. If directed by the Government, the Contractor shall expeditiously replace defective items with non-defective items at no additional cost to the Government. If defective items are not replaced by the Contractor, the Government will reduce the price of the delivery order by the amount associated with those defective items under that specific delivery order.

All equipment to be delivered under individual delivery orders are required to be tracked by the Contractor upon shipment from the manufacturer or vendor to the Government delivery location, as specified in the order(s). The tracking information shall be provided for all items and referenced by the awarded delivery order number.

Tracking information for individual delivery orders shall include the part number, National Stock number (if available), description, quantity, and estimated arrival date. Upon confirmed tracking delivery receipt, the vendor shall email the Government's contracting officer and project manager (names provided upon award) with the confirmation of delivery as proof of receipt. This confirmation shall be provided before submission of the invoice and must be received before an invoice will be paid.

The contractor shall submit a monthly status report to the Government detailing the status of all awarded Delivery Orders. This report shall be submitted by the 5th day of the following month and shall include, but is not limited to, tracking and delivery information, any potential issues or delays, and any requests for Government intervention. Requests for Govt intervention may cover such issues as appeals for delivery extensions and dialogues with Government end users. This monthly report shall be provided in Contractor selected format.

V. Contract Deliverables (Not Separately Priced)

The following shall be submitted by all awardees to the Government (CO, PM, TPOC):

A. Monthly Status Reports to be submitted via ASSIST Collaboration and briefed via monthly call (submission and call dates to be determined at or after IDIQ award). The Contractor may submit the reports in their own format ensuring all required information is reflected and subject to Government approval (See Section 7 above).

B. As applicable, update Attachment X - IDIQ Catalog if items are added/removed/edited via ASSIST

Collaboration to be incorporated via a contract modification. Catalog updates at a minimum will be required on a quarterly basis.

C. C-SCRM Questionnaire and Plan shall be completed and delivered within 90 days after contract award. Failure to deliver a complete C-SCRM Questionnaire and Plan may result in ineligibility for future delivery order awards. Please reference paragraph 17 C-SCRM requirements.

VI. Late Deliveries

The intent of the Government is to receive all items in accordance with the contracted delivery date(s).

However, due to extenuating circumstances (i.e. extended supply chain lead times) the Government understands the Contractor may not be able to deliver all items within the specified delivery schedule on individual delivery orders.

The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer in writing immediately upon any changes to the awarded delivery date for any items under a delivery order, to allow sufficient time for resolution. Notification must include (or be provided as soon as practicable) the Contractor’s proposed mitigation plan, revised schedule(s) and supporting documentation from manufacturers/suppliers for review/approval by the Government. The Government reserves the right to terminate the order if the reason, mitigation plan and/or revised schedule(s) are not acceptable to the Government.

The Contracting Officer must be notified at least two weeks before the established delivery date has been reached. Late deliveries are not consistent with JPEO CBRND or GSA missions. Deliveries that are up to thirty (30) days after the established delivery dates may be reflected on the Contractor’s past performance ratings, especially if notification was not provided to the Government prior to the established delivery date being reached. The Government reserves the right to seek consideration from the Contractor, in the amount up to and including 10% of the order’s value in either additional equipment or a deduction at final invoice, if final delivery was made more than fifteen (15) days after the delivery order’s established delivery date.

Additionally, the Government reserves the right to terminate orders for convenience, whether timely notification is provided or not if the delayed delivery will no longer meet the Government’s needs. Delivery delinquency greater than thirty (30) days may result in lost compensation and/or termination of the order for default and will be reflected in past performance ratings.

VII. Packaging/Labeling Requirements

Specific packaging and labeling requirements may be detailed on individual delivery orders. If not specified at the delivery order level, the Contractor shall provide at minimum the following:

Only properly packaging and labeled items will be accepted by the Government. Improperly labeled and/or packaged items may be returned to the Contractor for proper labeling and/or packaging at the Contractor’s expense before the Government will accept the order and issue payment.

The Contractor shall comply with the following packaging and labeling guidelines to ensure acceptance of delivered items (unless otherwise specified on individual delivery orders):

A. Shipments must arrive with one of the following forms of paperwork:

a. DD Form 1149

b. DD Form 1348

VIII. Order Electronic Invoicing Process

GSA employs Electronic Commerce in Contracting to the maximum extent practicable. Contractors shall use the GSA Assisted Acquisition Service Business System (ASSIST), at https://assist.gsa.gov/public/login to submit invoices. All invoice information, to include attached documents, shall be submitted to ASSIST via the Central Invoice Service (CIS). It is the responsibility of the contractor to gain access to ASSIST prior to award.

(1) For each invoice, the contractor shall complete the required fields provided in ASSIST CIS and must attach a copy of the invoice. Assistance in using the GSA ASSIST CIS application and answers to related questions may be obtained via email at assist.servicedesk@gsa.gov or by calling (877) 472-4877.

(2) The Invoice Form will include all active items being invoiced. The contractor shall enter the invoice amount in dollars and cents for each item. Please note, that credits or negative numbers of any kind are not allowable in the ASSIST CIS.

(3) Additional instructions may be provided by the Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, or the GSA Project Manager, immediately following the award of the contract or during contract administration to further enhance the use of Electronic Commerce in Contracting or to ensure compliance with GSA or GSA Customer Agency requirements or policies.

(4) Invoices shall not be submitted until Government acceptance is complete.

(5) The invoice should be submitted after final receipt and acceptance of all items for the order/shipment (as applicable), no later than 30 days after Government acceptance. Proof of tracking, delivery, and acceptance of all items, as signed by the Government personnel will be required before final payment. All required documentation must be uploaded into ASSIST with the final invoice.

(6) In accordance with FAR 52.232-1 Payments (Apr 1984). The Government shall pay the Contractor, upon the submission of proper invoices or vouchers, the prices stipulated in the DO for supplies delivered and accepted, less any deductions as provided in this contract. Unless otherwise specified in this contract, payment shall be made on partial deliveries accepted by the Government if (a) The amount due on the deliveries warrants it; or (b) The Contractor requests it and the amount due on the deliveries is at least $1,000 or 50 percent of the total contract price

IX. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS)

CPARS reports will be administered by the Ordering Activity Contracting Officer or a designated representative of the Contracting Officer on an annual basis for all awardees of the IDIQ.

Failure to submit contract deliverables listed in paragraph 8 (Monthly Status Report, Catalog updates, schedules and/or timetables) and late deliveries may result in less than satisfactory ratings.

Failure to maintain overall satisfactory ratings within the current active period of performance may result in a temporary probationary period which will exclude awardee from bidding on delivery order(s) for a set time period. If a vendor is unable to remediate issues to return to a satisfactory state, they risk the possibility of removal from the IDIQ pool.

X. Non-Disclosure of Sensitive and Proprietary Information

The Contractor shall protect from unauthorized disclosure any materials or information made available by the Government, that the Contractor has access to by virtue of the provision of this IDIQ or delivery orders that are not intended for public disclosure. This includes disclosure to individuals within the Contractor’s company who are not specifically assigned to work on this IDIQ and/or delivery orders.

XI. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI)

If an offeror is currently providing support or anticipates providing support that creates or represents an actual or potential organizational conflict of interest (OCI), the offeror shall immediately disclose this actual or potential OCI to GSA in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.5. The nature of the OCI may involve the prime contractor, subcontractor(s) of any tier, or teaming partners.

A. The offeror and each subcontractor, consultant, and teaming partner shall complete and sign an OCI Statement. The offeror shall include this statement with its offer. The offeror must represent either that (1) It is not aware of any facts which create any actual or potential OCI relating to the award of this contract, or (2) It has included information in its quote, providing all current information bearing on the existence of any actual or potential OCI and has included a mitigation plan in accordance with paragraph (c) below.

B. If an offeror with an actual or potential OCI believes the conflict can be avoided, neutralized, or mitigated, the offeror shall submit a mitigation plan to the Government for review.

C. In addition to the mitigation plan, the CO may require further information from the offeror. The CO will use all information submitted by the offeror, and any other relevant information known to, or reasonably obtainable by, GSA, to determine whether an award to the offeror may take place, and whether the mitigation plan adequately avoids, neutralizes, or mitigates the OCI.

D. If any such conflict of interest is found to exist, the CO may determine that the conflict cannot be avoided, neutralized, mitigated or otherwise resolved to the satisfaction of the Government and the offeror may be found ineligible for award. Alternatively, the CO may determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to contract with the offeror and include the appropriate provisions to avoid neutralize, mitigate, or waive such conflict in the contract awarded.

XII. Cyber-Supply Chain Risk Assessment (C-SCRM)

The Government may perform a cyber-supply chain risk assessment of the awarded contractor at any time during the period of performance. The Government may review any information provided by the contractor to the Government as part of this contract action, along with any other information available to the Government from any other source, to assess the cyber-supply chain risk associated with the contractor.

The Government may monitor the following cyber-supply chain risk information, including, but not limited to:

1. Functionality and features of awarded products and services, including access to data and information system privileges;

2. The ability of a source to produce and deliver products and services as expected;

3. Foreign control of, or influence over, a source, product or service (e.g., foreign ownership, personal and professional ties between a source and any foreign entity, legal regime of any foreign country in which a source is headquartered or conducts operations);

4. Security, authenticity, and integrity of products and services and their supply and compilation chains;

5. The contractor’s capacity to mitigate identified risks;

6. Any other considerations that would factor into an analysis of the security, integrity, resilience, quality, trustworthiness, or of products, services or sources.

In the event supply chain risks are identified during contract administration and corrective action becomes necessary, mutually agreeable corrective actions will be sought based upon specific identified risks. Failure to resolve any identified risk may result in Government action including not extending the period of performance, not exercising remaining option periods and contract termination.
