B.1 GENERAL

This Strategic Sourcing for the Acquisition of Various Equipment and Supplies (SAVES) contract is for Commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) Hardware (HW) and Software (SW) and is a DOT wide strategic sourcing contract administered and managed by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Offices of Acquisition and Business Services (ACQ) and Information and Technology Services (AIT). The products and services included in this contract include, but are not limited to, software, network infrastructure components (servers, switches, storage arrays, and network devices), personal computing devices (workstations, laptops, tablets, thin clients, notebooks, and similar items), computer peripherals and accessories, audio/visual equipment, and miscellaneous equipment (large screens, touch screens, scanners, projectors, desktop printers, multi-functional devices (MFD)), software to support the above mentioned hardware, and cloud based services by various Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) that meet the FAA IT community’s requirements. The Contractor must provide product-based services that enable the full lifecycle management of IT assets. These services must be directly related to the range of products offered under the Contract and must be performed as requested by the Contracting Officer on individual delivery orders. Additionally, the Contractor must facilitate the acquisition, deployment and maintenance of IT assets under this contract by providing services including, but not limited to, asset recovery/disposition and warehousing.

This contract DOES NOT include: non-COTS software items, software development for COTS items, web development and web design services, software operations and maintenance (O&M) services, alterations to a physical site (e.g., wiring, electrical, plumbing, construction), level of effort (LOE) support services including full time equivalent employees with a yearly period of performance (i.e. option years).

Up to nine (9) multiple award Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), firm fixed price contracts will be awarded. As a result, pricing will be competed at the individual Delivery Order level in accordance with Section G.4.

The Contractor must provide all items and services as specified in this solicitation, Statement of Work, and as ordered by the FAA through the issuance of delivery orders. The contractor must, upon receipt of an executed delivery order, furnish all items and services in accordance with this contract, the Statement of Work, and any applicable Statement of Work for the respective delivery order.

All terms and conditions contained in this document will be applicable to all delivery orders issued. The delivery orders placed under this contract may be used to support multiple FAA sites, the Department of Transportation, and the Department of Transportation modes.

B.2 PORTFOLIO OF ITEMS

Under this Contract, the FAA will maintain a portfolio of approved IT Solutions that supports the FAA’s mission demands in which IT solutions be delivered securely and cost effectively while meeting the agency's diverse business requirements. This portfolio applies to the FAA Enterprise Architecture via the IT Standards Technology Product List/Roadmap that supports National Airspace System (NAS) and Non-NAS functions, multiple LOBs, and critical programs, and is identified in Attachment 6 “Schedule B CLIN_OEM list.” Therefore, the OEM list represents approved products available for use. If there is a business requirement to procure any of these OEMs/products, it will be done at delivery order level. Refer to Section G.3 Ordering Procedures.

The OEM list is not all inclusive and the FAA will make periodic updates to the OEM list via the Technology Product Roadmap. ** Refer to Section C.23 for additional information on the OEM list.

The Contract Line Items Numbers (CLINs) identified in Attachment 6 represent the approved IT products in the OEM list. Each CLIN defines the OEM requirement and is categorized into the following buckets:

New HW/SW Annual HW/SW Multi-Function Device Approval for HW/SW Additional information on CLIN structure is found in Section C.5.1.

** The SAVES Procurement Officials will provide a tool to access this OEM list at time of award.

B.3 PRICING TERMS

Offerors must propose a minimum discount percentage for each OEM listed in Attachment 6 (Schedule B CLIN/OEM List). While the Government intends to compete future requirements at the delivery order level, the proposed minimum discounts will remain in effect for the entire 10-year period. These discounts must be identical to the discounts proposed in Attachment 2A (Small Business Price Model) or 2B (Unrestricted Price Model). Any discrepancy between these attachments may result in the proposal being rejected as non-compliant.

Offerors must propose a minimum discount percentage for each OEM listed in Attachment 6 (Schedule B CLIN/OEM List). Attachment 6 is part of the initial conformance review and if not completed in its entirety, the proposal may be rejected and not considered for award. While the Government intends to compete future requirements at the delivery order level, the proposed minimum discounts will remain in effect for the entire 10-year period. These discounts must be identical to the discounts proposed in Attachment 2A (Small Business Price Model) or 2B (Unrestricted Price Model). Any discrepancy between these attachments may result in the proposal being rejected and not considered for award.

Pricing for each CLIN will be established at the delivery order level and must adhere to the minimum discount specified. In addition to the minimum discount, proposed delivery order pricing must not exceed the lowest available price offered on any other Government Ordering Vehicle (e.g., GSA FSS, NASA SEWP) or the Contractor’s current commercial catalog. The Government reserves the right to request supporting documentation, including data other than certified cost or pricing data, to verify price reasonableness at the delivery order level.

Minimum discount only applied to categories 1,2,and 3. Independent Professional Services are tracked under separate distinct CLIN structures (e.g 4x Series) and are evaluated based on specialist labor rate baselines, not as a flat precentage discount off a manufacturer's hardware/software MSRP list.

B.4 CREDIT CARD TRANSACTIONS

The SAVES Contractor must accept payment via Government Purchase Card (a credit card). If a credit card surcharge is applicable, the quote must clearly state such including the amount to be charged. If the quote did not specify the surcharge, the surcharge cannot be added after the quote is submitted. Purchase card surcharges are regulated by the appropriate State authority. The following limitations apply to imposed credit card surcharges:

- The surcharge amount is limited to the specific and negotiated acceptance rate of a SAVES contractor and the networks; meaning that contractor is not allowed to profit from choosing to assess surcharges. For example, if a contractor’s negotiated acceptance rate with VISA and MasterCard is 3%, the contractor is allowed to impose a surcharge of no more than 3% of the total transaction value. Please note that the total surcharge rate a contractor can impose cannot exceed 4% in any State.

B.5 TOTAL ESTIMATED CONTRACT VALUE

The minimum ordering obligation under this Contract is $1,000 per Contract holder. The Government has no obligation to order additional supplies or services or issue additional delivery orders to the Contractor beyond the minimum ordering obligation specified. The exercise of the option period does not re-establish the contract minimum.

The anticipated maximum cumulative ceiling amount of all contracts to be awarded is $4,100,000,000.00. The ceiling is cumulative among all IDIQ contracts awarded under the Solicitation.

The COR/ALT COR cannot authorize or order cessation of work or delete, change, or waive any of the requirements or other terms and conditions of the DO. Should the Contractor request a change (monetary or otherwise) to the DO, it must be a written request submitted to the CO for consideration. If appropriate, the change will be incorporated by a contract modification/revision. Whenever a difference of opinion between the Contractor and the COR/ALT COR occurs, the Contractor must notify the CO immediately.

G.3 ORDERING PROCEDURES

Within 21 calendar days of Contract award, the SAVES Contractor must begin accepting orders.

All orders under this Contract must originate from either:

- A Delivery Order (DO) issued by a Contracting Officer,

- A credit card transaction placed by Government Purchase Card (PCARD) holders, or

- All other modes of the Department of Transportation will process all of their orders regardless of value.

Any other Delivery Orders or requests shall have no effect.

All terms and conditions contained in this document will be applicable to all delivery orders issued.

G.3.1 REQUEST TYPES AND RESPONSE TIMES

Request-For-Quote (RFQ):

Contains specific requirements. Pursuant to Section C.5.1, the CLINs will be indicated at time of quoting. Quotes submitted must include all information from RFQ.

- RFQ Response Time Limits: Submit quotes or no bids back to the SAVES quote email box (9-FAA- SAVES- QUOTES@faa.gov) within 4 business days.

Request-For-Information (RFI):

General in nature, does not have specific requirements. CLINs will not be indicated at time of responding.

- RFI Response Time Limits: Submit information back to SAVES quotes email box within 30 calendar days.

G.3.2 SHARING OF RFQ/RFI INFORMATION

Government issued RFQs/RFIs are not to be shared or “directly fed” to the public. They should only be provided to companies for whom you accept contractual and programmatic responsibility and oversight and with whom you have a business relationship in order to have them work with you and assist you in responding. In accordance to Section C.17, the Supply Chain Risk Management specifically addresses the different levels of the su pply chain and reinforces the importance of “relationships” between a SAVES Contractor and Industry.

You are responsible for how the information you share is used and all actions by any companies related to those RFQs/RFIs. If a company obtains a SAVES RFQ/RFI from you and uses that information for any reason other than to assist you with a quote, your performance rating may be negatively impacted. Examples of misuse would include contacting the customer without your knowledge and oversight, providing quotes or other information outside SAVES, questioning the customer on their requirements, requesting information concerning awards, contacting the customer post-award to complain about their selection, etc. All communications must be coordinated through and with your company.

Since the subject of sharing RFQs/RFIs can be sensitive due to possible proprietary information, sensitive and/or classified requirements, etc. we are concerned about any “direct feeding” of RFQs/RFIs to the public and/or any fees that a SAVES Contractor may be charging to provide that direct feed service.

G.3.3 RFQ/RFI REQUEST PROCESS

1. When a request is issued via the SAVES quotes email box at 9-FAA-SAVES-mailto:9-FAA-SAVES-QUOTES@faa.gov mailto:9-FAA-SAVES-QUOTES@faa.gov mailto:9-FAA-SAVES-QUOTES@faa.gov

QUOTES@faa.gov, the SAVES vendor must respond back to the SAVES email box with a quote in a MS Word, PDF, MS Excel document or a mutually agreed upon format. The quote must be accompanied listing all CLINs quantities and prices matching exactly what was in the quote.

2. For DOT Modes with a DOT email address (e.g. john.doe@dot.gov), SAVES vendors can receive RFI/RFQ and send back quotes outside the SAVES quotes email box.

3. For FAA customers with an FAA email address (e.g. jane.doe@faa.gov), all RFQs/RFIs are issued through t he SAVES email box, and the FAA customer should not call or email SAVES vendors to request a quote and have it be emailed back to them.

Please be advised that most of the RFQs/RFIs come from AIT personnel that have developed the RFQ/RFI forms. If you’re receiving an RFQ/RFI outside of the SAVES quotes email box, please advise the customer you only have 2 options:

i. Decline to provide them a quote, or

ii. Have the FAA customer contact SAVES personnel for further guidance at: 9-NATL- SAVES@faa.gov

4. If this is a purchase card and the Purchase Card Holder (PCARD) contacted you directly to make a purchase, you can send them an updated quote/credit card transaction detail via email.

5. All quotes must indicate the validity period (minimum of 30 days). However, if industry conditions or OEM policies prevent a 30-day validity, vendors must clearly specify the validity period provided by the OEM and include documentation of the OEM's policy.

6. Partial quoting is only allowed if explicitly stated by the customer. If you are unable to respond to the entire RFQ the SAVES vendor must provide a no-bid for the opportunity.

7. Each individual item on a quote should be clearly marked with its Trade-Act-Agreement (TAA) status. Items whose statuses are unknown should be clearly marked as non- compliant.

8. Within one business day of an order shipping, the SAVES vendor must provide the customer with the shipment tracking number.

9. “No bids” are required.

10. The Original Equipment Manufacturer's (OEM) official, current Commercial List Price (MSRP) must be on every formal quote submission under the SAVES contract vehicle.

11.

All questions, comments or other correspondence with customers during the RFQ process must only be through the

SAVES quotes email box.

12. Awardees who submit "no bids" at the Delivery Order Level for OEMS they proposed LOAs for under 697DCK-25-R-00302, without reasonable justification, may risk their performance being negatively impacted.

The Contractor must:

Notify the ordering CO/PCARD if an item is out of stock. The ordering CO/PCARD must have the option o f requesting a back-order, substituting another available Contract product, or canceling the item from the order. Under no circumstance is the Contractor permitted to make unauthorized substitutions.

- Show specialized delivery requirements such as OCONUS delivery; expedited delivery; specialized mailto:john.doe@dot.gov mailto:jane.doe@faa.gov mailto:9-NATL-SAVES@faa.gov mailto:9-NATL-SAVES@faa.gov mailto:9-NATL-SAVES@faa.gov handling where applicable.

- Inform ordering CO/PCARD of the availability dates for unfilled and partial shipment orders.

- Provide an automatic tax exemption, where applicable, for all purchases covered under the Contract.

The Contractor must ensure that Government issued DOs match any Contractor provided quotes by line ite m and prices. Any quotes that have expired at the time of order placement must be re-quoted.

- Items returned prior to the Government’s acceptance are not subject to restocking fees or other charges unless the return is due to a government-initiated change.

The delivery orders issued under the Contract will be competed among the contract holders according to the procedure set forth in Section G.4.

G.4 DELIVERY ORDER COMPETITION REQUIREMENTS

For requirements with a Government estimate under $350,000.00, competition must be limited to small business contract holders. The Government must evaluate all quotes received and award the order to the lowest-priced small business contract holder that meets the requirement.

If a requirement under $350,000.00 does not receive at least two reasonable small business offers, the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) has the discretion to compete the delivery order among all contract holders.

For requirements with a Government estimate of $350,000.00 or more, the delivery order must be competed among all contract holders, and the Government must award the order to the lowest-priced contract holder that meets the requirement.

The Government reserves the right to increase this $350,000.00 threshold to align with any future increases to the AMS threshold.

G.4.1 ON-RAMPING

The Government may consider, at its sole and absolute discretion, conducting an open-season/on-ramp as either Small Business or Unrestricted at any time during the life of the program to admit new companies (and/or Award additional pools) into the contract, if it is deemed to be in the best interest of the Government. If deemed eligible, companies whose original proposals were not accepted, or IDIQ option periods were not renewed will be allowed to submit proposals during open seasons. The CO may conduct market research to assess additional technologies available in the open market. The CO may also assess the amount of competition available. The Government will review the need for additional HW/SW SAVES contractors to keep the eligible pool(s) viable/competitive, and/or to ensure that the agency maintains access to the latest technological solutions in contracts for IT products. The Government may evaluate the benefit of conducting an on-ramp on the multiple award IDIQ vehicle on an annual basis. The Government reserves the right to on-ramp in year five of the base ordering period, prior to exercising the five-year option ordering period. However, the Government may conduct an on-ramping in any year of the ordering period in order to maintain adequate competition or to obtain access to additional technologies and capabilities.

Specific guidance will be identified prior to exercising the five-year option ordering period.

G.4.2 TECHNICAL REFRESH

In accordance with C.23, the FAA anticipates performing a Technology Refreshment process on a quarterly basis for the addition of new OEMs/products, the deletion of OEMs/products identified in Schedule B, OEM list, and/or adjustment of OEMs/products as necessary. The SAVES HW/SW contracts will utilize CLIN 4 in instances where new OEMs are proposed to be added. The SAVES team will utilize a quarterly technical refresh to add the new

CLIN 4 products to each vendors respective schedule B. OEM discounts will apply to the new CLIN 4 products

This process will include the review of Contractor proposals of Technical refreshments. Contractor proposals of new technology which will upgrade, replace, extend, or enhance the components will be evaluated at the Government’s discretion, and the Contractor must submit a technology refreshment proposal to the COR and CO outlining the proposed technology (to be reviewed quarterly or at the Government’s discretion, CLIN 4 requirements). Included in this proposal there shall be pricing data (i.e., current published commercial price list), a justification of how the new technology represents an improvement over existing solutions, and any other commercial technical information as needed to appropriately review the item(s), or as requested by the COR. The FAA reserves the right to request additional supporting data to thoroughly evaluate a contractor's Technology Refreshment proposal. The Government reserves the right to approve any or all the proposed items and to unilaterally modify the contract to provide for the ordering of the new technology as described in Section B, CLIN 4 Approval HW/SW Requirements.

The Government reserves the right to remove any item from the current contract if it deems the item to be out of scope, not reasonably priced, out of date, or missing technical information.

NOTE: This excludes updated or new versions of existing hardware products. Only entirely new products are considered for addition.

Minimum Discount Percentage Guidelines for Established OEMs

The Government will not consider allowing contract holders to adjust or lower their proposed minimum discount percentages during the life of the contract due to changes in an OEM's commercial pricing structure.

Minimum Discount Percentage Guidelines for New OEMs

Whenever a new OEM is added to Section B through the quarterly Technology Refreshment process, the Government will formally request vendors to submit their proposed minimum discount percentages for that OEM.

The minimum discount percentages set during the technology refresh process will adhere to the same rules as those for existing OEMs. These discounts will apply to the OEM's current, verifiably published MSRP at the time of the delivery order. Vendors may propose a "0%" discount if necessary, and once approved, these percentages will remain fixed.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements Clause List

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)

3.13-15 CONFIDENTIALITY OF DATA AND INFORMATION (NOV 2016)

(a) In performance of this contract, the contractor and any of its subcontractors, may need access to and use various data and information in the possession of the Government.This data and information may have been obtained under conditions which restrict the Government's right to use and disclose this data and information or which may be adverse to the interests of the Government or other parties if it is disseminated or used in a capacity other than in performance of this contract. Therefore, the contractor and its subcontractors agree to abide by any restrictive use conditions on such data and not to: (1) knowingly disclose such data and information to others without written authorization from the Contracting Officer, unless it is already publically available; or (2) use for any purpose other than the performance of this contract any data or information which bears a restrictive marking or legend which the contractor has gained access to through the performance of this contract, or information that should be marked according to FAA Order 1600.75 "Protecting Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI)". For the sole purpose of this clause, "information" means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative or visual form.

(b) In the event the work required to be performed under this contract requires access to proprietary data and information of other companies, the contractor must obtain agreement from such other companies for such use unless such data are provided or made available to the contractor by the Government. Two copies of such company-to-company agreements must be furnished promptly to the Contracting Officer for information only. These agreements must prescribe the scope of authorized use and disclosure of the proprietary data and information as well as any other terms and conditions to be agreed upon between the parties thereto. It is agreed by the contractor that any such data or information, whether obtained by the contractor pursuant to the aforesaid agreement or from the Government, must be protected from unauthorized use by or unauthorized disclosure to any individual, corporation, or organization so long as it remains proprietary.

(c) The contractor agrees to conduct formal training to make employees aware of the requirement to maintain confidentiality of data and information as required above. The contractor must obtain from each employee in connection with this contract a signed Non-Disclosure Agreement. This agreement must provide that the employee will not, during employment or anytime thereafter, disclose or use for current or future benefit of any party any of the data (to include any form of Sensitive Unclassified Information (SUI) described in FAA Order 1600.75) or information not publically available received in connection with the work under the contract.

(d) The contractor agrees to hold the Government harmless and indemnify the Government as to any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of third party data or software by the contractor, its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

(e) The contractor agrees to include the substance of this clause in all subcontracts awarded under this contract. The Contracting Officer will consider case-by-case exceptions to this requirement for individual subcontracts in the event that: (1) the contractor considers this clause to be inappropriate and unnecessary in the case of a particular subcontract; (2) the contractor provides a written statement affirming absolute unwillingness of a subcontractor to perform, absent some relief from the substance of this prohibition and the reason why; (3) use of an alternate subcontract source would unreasonably detract from the quality of effort; and (4) the contractor provides the Contracting Officer timely written advance notice of these and any other extenuating circumstances.

(f) Except as the Contracting Officer specifically authorizes in writing, upon completion of all work under this contract, the contractor must return all such data and information described above obtained from the Government, including all copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations thereof, to the Contracting Officer. Data obtained from another company must be disposed of in accordance with the contractor's agreement with that company, or if the agreement makes no provision for disposition, must be returned to that company. The contractor must further certify in writing to the CO that all copies, modifications, adaptations, or combinations of such data or information which cannot reasonably be returned to the Contracting Officer (or to the appropriate company), have been deleted from the contractor's (and any subcontractor's) records and destroyed. The FAA reserves the right to audit the deletion. The FAA must provide notice of the audit 10 calendar days prior to the audit.

(g) These restrictions do not limit the contractor's (or subcontractor's) right to use and disclose any data and information obtained from another source without restriction.
