NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the

Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute

Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or

Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting

Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard

Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program. Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the

Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is 202.372.3695.

(ix) The provision at 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items (OCT 2014) applies to this acquisition.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Technical Capability of the item to meet the Government requirement.

o Sub-factor 1: The Offeror shall provide written certification that their proposed solution shall comply with the technical requirements indicated in Attachment (1). In addition, Offerors shall demonstrate an understanding of the requirements as described in the statement of work, and shall include sufficient documentation to provide evidence of that understanding, to include written summary, manufacture specifications, drawings, photos, project schedule, warranty information or any other evidence that will help to substantiate your proposed solution to meet the specifications and the RFQ.

Attachment (1) for the proposed mobile boat hoist.

o Sub-factor 3: The Offeror shall certify in writing that the USCG required delivery schedule shall be observed, provided that a more expedited delivery schedule is not proposed.

Price: Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the solicitation. The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. Adequate price competition is expected to support the determination of reasonableness. Offerors are required to provide prices for all CLINs as described in

Attachment (2). All prices on these CLINs shall be firm-fixed price and shall indicate FOB Destination as referenced in FAR 52.247-34 (NOV 1991). The total of all CLINS shall be added together to arrive at an aggregate total. The Offeror’s price shall be entered in Attachment (2).

Past Performance: Offerors are to submit a completed Attachment (3) o Offerors are required to provide three (3) past performance references for contracts completed during the past 3 years or currently in process for the same items/services being requested under this solicitation. Contracts listed may include those entered into by the Federal Government, agencies of the state and local governments, and commercial customers. Include the following information for each:

1. Name of Contracting Activity/Commercial Business.

2. Contract Number.

3. Contract Award Date.

4. Contract Completion Date.

5. Contract Value.

6. Two (2) customer points of contact and their daytime telephone numbers.

Note: The Government may use past performance information obtained from any source to evaluate past performance. All information obtained will be used to determine the offeror’s ability to perform the contract successfully.

Award shall be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable offeror. The Government will evaluate the lowest-priced proposal first for technical acceptability and acceptable past performance. If found to be acceptable, evaluations will stop and award will be made to that offeror. If found to be unacceptable in either technical or past performance, the Government will move to the next-lowest-priced proposal and repeat the evaluation. This process will be followed until award is made.

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

MARKING OF WARRANTED ITEMS

The contactor shall stamp or mark the supplies delivered, or otherwise furnish notice with the supplies, of the existence of the warranty. Markings may be brief but should include (i) a brief statement that a warranty exists;

(ii) the substance of the warranty; (iii) its duration; and (iv) whom to notify if the supplies are found to be defective. For commercial items, the contractor’s trade practice in warranty marking is acceptable if sufficient information is presented for supply personnel and users to identify warranted supplies.

NOTE: Failure to prepare for shipment any item, and/or mark all packages, boxes, etc., as indicated herein shall result in rejection of the shipment and return of the shipment at the contractor’s expense.

INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

USCG Inspection and Acceptance (Destination)

The Contractor shall be responsible for the performance of all inspection requirements and test requirements.

Inspection shall take place at destination. Final acceptance shall be made by the Government’s Representative at destination. Acceptance shall be contingent upon verification of no damage in transit, correctness and completeness of the order, and conformance to the preservation, packaging, and marking requirements as outlined herein.

Unauthorized Instructions from Government Personnel

(a) The Contractor shall not accept any instructions issued by any person employed by the U.S. Government or otherwise other than the Contracting Officer (KO), the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) or the

Alternative Contracting Officer’s Representative (ACOR) acting within the limits of their authority. The COR and ACOR(s) shall be designated in writing to the Contractor and shall set forth the scope of their authority.

(b) No information, other than that which may be contained in an authorized amendment to this purchase instrument duly issued by the KO, which may be received from any person employed by the Government or otherwise will be considered as grounds for deviation from any stipulations of the purchase instruments or referenced drawings and/or specifications contained herein.

DHS POLICY FOR COMPETITIVE ACQUISITIONS

It is DHS policy that pricing for competitive negotiations should be based on adequate price competition.

However, in the event only one responsible Offeror is obtained as a result of this solicitation, that Offeror may be required to submit Data Other than Certified Cost or Pricing Data (FAR 52.215-20 ALT IV) to support price negotiations.

RESPONSIBILITY

[Offeror to identify the applicable paragraphs at (c) through (r) of this provision that the offeror has completed for the purposes of this solicitation only, if any. These amended representation(s) and/or certification(s) are also incorporated in this offer and are current, accurate, and complete as of the date of this offer. Any changes provided by the offeror are applicable to this solicitation only, and do not result in an update to the representations and certifications posted electronically on SAM.]

Certifications—Commercial Items clause can be requested from the POC above. Either the above must be signed or FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items clause completely filled out must be provided to be considered responsive.

System for Award Management (SAM).

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract 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.

(2) (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 Subpart 42.12, the

Contractor shall 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 Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;

https://www.acquisition.gov/

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible

Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(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.

(3) The Contractor shall 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 (see FAR

Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall 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.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(2) Delivery of the supplies to the Government at the destination specified in the contract, if transportation is f.o.b. destination.

Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor’s records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided.

(m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience.

(n) Title. Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, title to items furnished under this contract shall pass to the

Government upon acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical possession.

(o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered hereunder are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract.

(s) Order of precedence. Any inconsistencies in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order:

(1) The schedule of supplies/services.

(2) The Assignments, Disputes, Payments, Invoice, Other Compliances, Compliance with Laws Unique to

Government Contracts, and Unauthorized Obligations paragraphs of this clause.

(3) The clause at 52.212-5.

(4) Addenda to this solicitation or contract, including any license agreements for computer software.

(5) Solicitation provisions if this is a solicitation.

(6) Other paragraphs of this clause.

(7) The Standard Form 1449.

(8) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments.

(9) The specification.

(t) System for Award Management (SAM).

(1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract 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.

(2)

(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 Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall 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 Subpart 42.12 of the FAR;

(C) Agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible

Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(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.

(3) The Contractor shall 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 (see FAR

Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall 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.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(u) Unauthorized Obligations.

(1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End Use License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-

Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern:

(i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government.

(ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an “I agree” click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., “click-wrap” or “browse-wrap” agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause.

(iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

(2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures.

(v) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor’s representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
