Section C - Description/Specification/Work Statement

Title: Transportation Readiness for Strategic National Stockpile Deployment

C.1 Background and Need:

The mission of the Division of Strategic National Stockpile (DSNS), of the United States (U.S.) Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR), is to ensure the availability and rapid deployment of life-saving pharmaceuticals, antidotes, other medical supplies, and equipment necessary to counter the effects of biological, chemical, radiological, natural disasters or other emerging infectious disease agents. When state, local, tribal, and territorial public health and medical systems request federal assistance to support their response efforts, DSNS ensures that the right medicines and supplies get to those who need them most during a public health emergency or pandemic event.

The Strategic National Stockpile (SNS) is a national repository of pharmaceuticals, vaccines, medical supplies, and medical equipment stored in strategic locations around the nation. These assets are designed to supplement state and local public health departments in the event of a large-scale public health emergency that causes local supplies to run out.

C.2 Project Objective:

The purpose for this requirement is to provide:

1) 24 hours per day 365 days per year rapid freight transportation capability. For purposes of this solicitation and proposals, rapid movement will require ground transportation assets to arrive within 120 minutes of notice or less at those locations identified in this solicitation or at an alternate location identified at time of event that will be within a 25-mile radius of the identified locations herein. Ideally, ground transportation assets should begin to arrive at the designated site within 90 minutes of notice however the offeror has 120 minutes to ensure transportation assets are on-site. Ground movement of material is not expected to exceed a radius of 450 miles from the point of pick up to delivery.

2) Rapid movement may require domestic air freight and for such, the prices listed in Section B above, shall be one, two- or three-day air movement. Transportation times will be further defined and provided at time of request.

3) Rapid movement may require International/OCONUS air freight and for such, the prices listed in Section B above are the maximum amount that can be charged, including fuel. The Contractor shall book next flight out depending on ask and time of ask.

C.3 Scope of Work:

The contractor, as an independent organization, and not as an agent of the US Government, shall furnish all necessary personnel, facilities, equipment, materials, and supplies to provide freight services throughout the US and Internationally in support of the Division of Strategic National Stockpile mission to distribute material to various locations for response to public health emergencies or other events.

In such a circumstance, the contractor shall provide the assets best suited for that transportation. Domestic air freight shall be booked for one, two- or three-day air and international air freight shall be booked next day flight depending on ask and time of ask.

For any ground transportation services, the contractor shall provide a list of names and other identifying information of drivers that will arrive at the site prior to their arrival.

• The number of trucks needed per deployment is dependent on the type of event but shall not exceed 10 53’ tractor-trailer trucks at one time.

The first task order (funding) will be issued after the IDIQ is awarded and calls will be made against this task order. The award amount of this task order will be based on the estimated requirements for work to be performed as defined by Section C under this agreement and presented in the offeror’s technical and business proposals in response to this requirement. The Contractor(s) receiving this task order shall furnish as directed – all services shall include the necessary equipment, materials and supplies, transportation, security clearance and background investigation verifications, and other items or services required to perform the work described in the task, except as specified as Government furnished.

b) Telephone or other verbal orders are not authorized under this IDIQ unless issued by a duly warranted Government Contracting Officer.

c) Except for any limitations on quantities in the Order Limitations Clause or in the Schedule, there is no limit on the number of orders that may be issued. The Government may issue orders requiring delivery to multiple destinations or performance at multiple locations.

d) Any order issued during the effective period of this contract and not completed within that period shall be completed by the Contractor within the time specified in the order. The contract shall govern the Contractor’s and Government’s rights and obligations with respect to that order to the same extent as if the order were completed during the contract’s effective period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any deliveries under this contract twelve (12) months following the end of the period of performance of the contract.

G.3 Award of Task Orders:

After contracts are awarded by the Government, services will be ordered by the issuance of individual task orders awarded on a competitive basis. Each awardee will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for award of each individual task order.

The fair opportunity process will operate as follows:

1. Task Orders – General:

(1) A written task order, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein, shall be the only basis for acquisition of services under this IDIQ.

(2) Orders will be placed directly with the Contractor by ASPR-SNS Contracting Officers as a result of a Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP) competition.

(3) Some orders may be exempt from competition in accordance with FAR 16.505(b) (i) and the “Fair Opportunity Exceptions” at clause G.4 below.

(4) The Contractor shall be responsible for performance in accordance with the terms and conditions of the

IDIQ when a Task Order is placed by an ASPR-SNS Contracting Officer.

(5) Contractors may not protest the award of the Task Order issued under the resultant IDIQs, except on the grounds that the order increases scope, period, or maximum value of the IDIQ.

G.4 Fair Opportunity Exceptions: Note – this clause applies only if multiple awards are made; this clause will be removed and G.4 labeled “Reserved” if a single award is made.

The requirement for “fair opportunity” does not apply to orders under $3,500.00 or to orders above $3,500.00 where the Contracting Officer determines that:

a. The need for the services is of such urgency that providing such opportunity would result in an unacceptable delay;

b. Only one contractor is capable of providing the services required at the level of quality required because the services are unique or highly specialized;

c. The order should be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.
