Section B - Supplies or Services/Prices Section B - Schedule

B.1 – General

The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) intends to award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA) of up to six (6) or fewer if six contractors do not meet the requirements of the SIR, in accordance with FAA Acquisition Management System (AMS) T3.2.2.5 for Class A Recreational Vehicles RV Rentals throughout the United States in response to potential Natural Disasters and Declared National Emergencies such as but not limited to Hurricanes, Floods, Earthquakes..

The FAA is soliciting offers only from offerors that have the capability to provide RV Rentals.

The minimum requirement for the RV’s is as follows:

· Class A

· Diesel

· Diesel continuous use generator

· 32’

· Cooking utensils

· Laundry

The FAA is interested in all areas throughout the United States, however; the following States that historically have been in the path of Hurricanes will be considered highest priority areas: Florida, Texas, North Carolina, Louisiana, South Carolina, Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi and Puerto Rico.

B.2 Blanket Purchase Agreement

A BPA is a simplified method of filling anticipated repetitive services by establishing “charge accounts” with qualified contractors. BPA is not a contract. Instead, it is an understanding between FAA and the vendor that allows FAA to place future orders more quickly by identifying terms and conditions applying to those orders, a description of the supplies or services to be provided, and methods for issuing and pricing each order.

The FAA is not obligated to place, nor must a vendor accept, any orders. Either party may cancel a BPA at any time.

An enforceable contract exists only when FAA places a Call Order against the BPA and it is accepted by the vendor.

The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases actually made under the BPA. All terms and conditions under the BPA will apply to any CALL Order placed under this agreement.

B.3 Pricing

Contractor is required to submit pricing for Attachment B-0001,RV Rental Pricing

Call Orders under this contract must be performed in accordance with the base Statement of Work (SOW). Each call order will be individually negotiated taking into account the specific geographical location. The prices charged to the government shall be as low as or lower than those charged to the supplier’s most favored customer in addition to any discounts for prompt payment. Contractor(s) will be requested to submit price for individual requirements leading to Firm Fixed Price BPA Call Order..

B.4 Period of Performance

The Period of Performance of this BPA is five (5) years from date of award or $3,000,000.00 in Call Orders which ever comes first.

(a) The Contracting Officer may designate other Government personnel (known as the Contracting Officer's Representative) to act as his or her authorized representative for contract administration functions which do not involve changes to the scope, price, schedule, or terms and conditions of the contract. The designation will be in writing, signed by the Contracting Officer, and will set forth the authorities and limitations of the representative(s) under the contract. Such designation will not contain authority to sign contractual documents, order contract changes, modify contract terms, or create any commitment or liability on the part of the Government different from that set forth in the contract.

(b) The Contractor shall immediately contact the Contracting Officer if there is any question regarding the authority of an individual to act on behalf of the Contracting Officer under this contract.

(End of Clause)

SA4 VEHICLE ACCESS

In accordance with FAA Order 1900.1G any vehicle that will require access with the fenced area must be registered with the Facility Manager and have identification media affixed to it.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

3.1.9-1 ELECTRONIC COMMERCE AND SIGNATURE (JUL 2020)

(a) The Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (E-SIGN) establishes a legal equivalence between:

(1) Contracts written on paper and contracts in electronic form;

(2) Pen-and-ink signatures and electronic signatures; and

(3) Other legally-required written records and the same information in electronic form.

(b) With the submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges and accepts the utilization of electronic commerce as part of the requirements of this solicitation and the resultant contract.

(c) Certain documents may need to be provided or maintained in original form, such as large-scale drawings impractical to convert to electronic format or a document with a raised seal signifying authenticity. This clause does not change or affect any other requirements that a document must be in paper format to satisfy legal requirements such as for certain real estate transactions.

(d) The use of electronic signature technology is authorized under this solicitation and the resulting contract.

(e) Contractors must not digitally sign any documents with software that uses the Secure Hash Algorithm 1 (SHA- 1). All digitally signed documents and contracts sent to the FAA must use a SHA-256 or higher hash algorithm. This is based on the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Policy Statement on Hash Functions dated August 5, 2015. Further guidance on the use of SHA-256 is in NIST Special Publication (SP) 800-57 Part 1, section

5.6.2 as amended and SP 800-131A, Revision 1 dated November 6, 2015. Additional guidance on the use of SHA-3 is in NIST SP 800-185 as amended.

(f) Contractors do not have to update documents previously digitally signed using SHA-1 hash algorithms unless the document requires updating. The FAA and contractors may continue to use SHA-1 for the following applications:

Verifying old digital signatures and time stamps, generating and verifying hash-based message authentication codes (HMACs), key derivation functions (KDFs), and random bit/number generation.

(End of Clause)

3.3.1-33 SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (APR 2022)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause

"Registered in the SAM database" means that the Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) or the Electronic Funds Transfer indicator, into the SAM database.

"System for Award Management (SAM) database" means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

"Unique Entity Identifier (UEI)" (also known as the Unique Entity ID) means a number or other identifier used to identify a specific commercial, nonprofit, or Government entity. See www.sam.gov for the designated entity for establishing unique entity identifiers.

"Electronic Funds Transfer indicator" means a 4-character suffix to the Unique Entity Identifier. This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the same parent concern.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee must be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror must enter, in Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors Section of the solicitation, the UEI or EFT indicator that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The UEI will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a UEI, it should contact www.sam.gov directly to obtain one.

The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(1) Company legal business name.

(2) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(3) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.

(4) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if different from physical street address).

(5) Company Telephone Number.

(6) Date the company was started.

(7) Number of employees at your location.

(8) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(9) Line of business (industry).

(10) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered offeror.

(e) Processing time should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. If registered in SAM as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges that they are designated as a SDVOSB by the Department of Veterans Affairs, and this designation appears as such on the Veteran Affairs website, https://vetbiz.va.gov/vip//.

(g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in AMS Procurement Guidance, the Contractor must provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the SAM database;

(B) Comply with the requirements of AMS regarding novation and change-of-name agreements; and

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide the Contracting Officer with the notification, sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor must not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims. Assignees must be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.sam.gov.

(End of Clause)

3.4.1-7 NOTICE TO PROCEED (OCT 2019)

The policies evidencing required insurance must contain an endorsement to the effect that any cancellation or any material change adversely affecting the Federal Aviation Administration's interest must not be made effective:

(End of clause)

3.6.1-1 NOTICE OF TOTAL SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE (OCT 2019)

(a) Definition. Small business concern, as used in this clause, means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) standards in this Screening Information Request (SIR) at the time of submission of offer.

access to FAA classified information;

access to FAA *Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI); or access to FAA systems or resources unless they have been authorized by the FAA Office of Personnel Security (AXP).

*SUI is defined as unclassified information, in any form including print, electronic, visual, or aural forms, which is protected from uncontrolled release to persons outside the FAA and indiscriminate dissemination within the FAA. It includes aviation security, homeland security, and protected critical infrastructure information. SUI may include information that may qualify for withholding from the public under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).

2. Consistent with FAA Order 1600.1F, AXP must approve designated risk levels for the positions under the contract, to be determined by the FAA Operating Office (the organization with the requirement) in coordination with the COR, using the OPM Position Designation Automated Tool (PD Tool).

3. For all contractor employees, subcontractors, or consultants requiring access to FAA facilities, classified information, sensitive unclassified information, systems, or resources, the prime contractor must submit to their responsible AXP office and CO/COR, a point of contact (POC) who will be responsible for entering all contractor applicant data, to include subcontractor data, into the Vendor Applicant Process (VAP) system (vap.faa.gov) for security processing. The contractor must not enter contractor employees in VAP unless they have a legitimate need for access to FAA facilities, classified information, sensitive unclassified information and/or systems according to the terms of the contract. Contractor employees who will not require the aforementioned types of access or who would be under escort of other badged personnel are not be entered in VAP.

4. If an applicant has had a previous US Government conducted background investigation, which meets the investigative requirements for the position and meets established reciprocity guidelines, it will be accepted by the FAA. The FAA reserves the right to conduct further investigations, including requesting additional information from the applicant, if necessary.

5. If no previous investigation exists, or if the previous investigation does not meet investigative requirements for the position, AXP will:

a. Send the applicant an e-mail (this step may be delegated to VAP POC) with instructions for completing investigative requirements.;

b. Instruct the applicant how to enter and complete a background investigation questionnaire through the electronic Questionnaires for Investigation Processing (eQIP) system;

c. Provide where to upload, or send/fax applicable forms; and

d. Provide instructions regarding fingerprinting. (any fees associated with obtaining fingerprints are not the responsibility of the FAA)

The contractor employee must complete the investigative requirements and submit required material within 15-calendar days of receiving the e-mail from AXP. If items are be submitted outside of the eQIP system, the contractor must submit the required information, referencing the contract number, to the AXP POC noted in the instruction email.

6. No contract employee, subcontractor, or consultant, identified as requiring a background investigation under the contract will work in any position unless AXP has authorized them to begin work. Authorization will be in the form of an Interim or Final Suitability email notification from AXP to the VAP POC and CO.

7. No contract employees, subcontractor, or consultant will be issued a FAA Personal Identity Verification (PIV) card, or other FAA issued ID card, unless they have been granted an Interim or Final suitability from AXP.

8. The Contractor VAP POC must inform the CO/COR and submit a VAP removal record in VAP within twenty-four (24) hours after any contractor employee resigns, is terminated, transferred, or otherwise removed from the contract. If the FAA issued the contract employee a PIV card, or other ID card, the contractor must collect the card within twenty-four hours, and return it to AXP no later than five business-days of the employee's termination or transfer.

9. The CO will provide notice to the contractor within 24-hours after receipt of a determination that the contractor or its employee has not complied with security related contract requirements, security-related FAA Orders, or if a contractor employee's conduct is objectionable or contrary to the public interest, or inconsistent with the best interest of national security. The notice will instruct the contractor to remove its employee's access to FAA premises or networks, or otherwise remedy the contractor's performance.

10. The contractor must immediately comply with the CO's direction to remedy its security performance at the contractor's expense, including removing the employee from FAA premises and networks. If the contractor employee is working under an interim suitability authorization, the contractor must take appropriate action, including the removal of the contractor employee from working on the FAA contract, at their own expense. Once action has been taken, the contractor must report the action via the VAP within the timeframe prescribed in paragraph 8 of this clause.

11. After coordination with AXP, the CO may require contractor employees to submit any other security information deemed reasonably necessary to protect the interests of the FAA. This includes submitting to additional fingerprinting, responding to letters of inquiry, and background reinvestigations required under Federal Investigative Standards. In this event, the contractor must provide, or cause each of its employees to provide, such security information to AXP. Failure to cooperate with security processing will result in an unfavorable suitability determination.

12. The contractor must retrieve a current roster report through VAP on a quarterly basis to ensure the roster is accurate, and immediately correct any discrepancies with the responsible AXP office. The prime contractor is responsible for the accuracy of their subcontractors' rosters as well.

13. Contractor employees subject to the requirements of this clause must take the FAA Security Awareness Virtual Initiative (SAVI) training within 90 days of reporting to work and annually thereafter. This training is available on the FAA's Electronic Learning Management System (eLMS). Contractors without access to eLMS please see https://my.faa.gov/org/linebusiness/ash/programs/savi.html for instructions.

14. The prime contractor must contact the CO or COR, and AXP within one business-day in the event an employee (who has been cleared for FAA access by AXP) is arrested (i.e., taken into custody by law enforcement for any offenses, other than minor traffic offenses) or is involved in theft of government property or the Contractor becomes aware of any information that may raise a question about the suitability of a contractor or subcontractor employee.

15. Failure to submit information required by this clause within the time required may be determined by the CO a material breach of the contract, and may result in suspension or revoked access to FAA assets for the Contractor's employee.

16. If subsequent to the effective date of this contract, the security classification or security requirements under this contract are changed by the Government and if the changes cause an increase or decrease in direct contract costs or otherwise affect any other term or condition of this contract, the contract will be subject to an equitable adjustment.

17. The contractor agrees to insert terms that conform substantially to the language of this clause, excluding any reference to the Changes clause of this contract, in all subcontracts under this contract that involve access and where the exceptions under FAA Order 1600.1F do not apply.
