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.

(viii) The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial (OCT 2018) applies to this acquisition.

(ix) The provision at 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Items (OCT 2014)

(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:

1. Price

Offeror’s price shall represent the best price in response to the Request for Quotation (RFQ). The price shall be evaluated to determine fairness and reasonableness. Offerors are required to provide prices for all items/CLINs. All prices on CLINS (page 3) shall be a 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.

1.1 Price Reasonableness

Price analysis techniques may be used to further validate price reasonableness. If adequate price competition is not obtained or if price reasonableness cannot be determined using price analysis of

Government obtained information, additional information will be required to support the proposed price.

Unrealistically low proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a quote from competition either on the basis that the Offeror does not understand the requirements or that the

Offeror has submitted an unrealistic quote.

2. Technical

In order for an offer to be determined technically acceptable, offerors must complete the below certification and submit documentation verifying that they are able to provide the required parts.

“I HEREBY CERTIFY ON BEHALF OF _________________________________ (Insert offeror name), THAT ALL

PARTS PROVIDED UNDER THIS CONTRACT SHALL BE NEW GENUINE OEM PARTS.”

NAME OF AUTHORIZED CORPORATE OFFICER

TITLE

DATE

Failure to comply with this certification, and submit the required supporting documentation with your original quote may render your quote unacceptable and your quote may be rejected.

Offerors are required to submit verification in the form of a letter from the authorized distributor;

or any other written confirmation fully demonstrating that they have the capability of procuring the required OEM parts.

3. Past Performance

The Government will review the Offeror’s Past Performance record of performance in the Federal

Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) system for those projects that are similar in nature, size and complexity as this requirement, performed or completed within the past five years. An offeror that has only positive ratings or does not have any projects that are similar in nature, size or complexity to the current requirement identified in the FAPIIS system, will be rated as acceptable for award.

4. Basis For Award

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) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.

(End of provision)

(x) Offerors shall provide a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and

Certifications-Commercial Items, with their offer. Vendor must have a valid DUNS number, be registered with the System for Award Management (SAM) and shall provide the DUNS and Tax
