SMASS IV 80KSC022R0010 AMENDMENT 0001 SECTION B

(d) All LOE hours shall be priced in accordance with the rates in Attachment J-03, LOE Firm Fixed Price Labor Rates. The firm-fixed-price labor rates in Attachment J-03, LOE Firm Fixed Price Labor Rates, include all compensation (wages and fringe benefits); general and administrative, overhead, and any other indirect costs as applicable; and profit. Except as provided under FAR 52.222-43 Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards–Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts), no future adjustments to the fully burdened, firm-fixed-price labor rates in Attachment J-03, LOE Firm Fixed Price Labor Rates, will be made as a result of changes to the Base LOE Hours or the exercise of flex hours.

(e) The Government may exercise flex hours by determined labor classification(s) and the coinciding labor rate in any quantity, not to exceed the hours and value in Attachment J-04, Contract Section B Tables. When flex hours are ordered Attachment J-04, Contract Section B Tables will be amended to reflect the ordered flex hours and the associated estimated price and Attachment J-04, Contract Section B Tables, will be amended to reflect total ordered hours for the contract. No future adjustments to the contract value will be made based on the non-exercise of flex hours.

(f) The process to exercise ‘Flex’ hours is described in clause G.5, Flex Hours Ordering Procedures.

(End of clause)

B.4 NON-PROPOSED OTHER DIRECT COSTS (ODCs) VALUES

(a) The Non-proposed costs displayed in Section B Table B.2, Estimated Contract Value are the Government’s best estimate of the actual ODCs that may be incurred on the contract. The Contracting Officer will annually update this table during contract administration to reflect the Government’s actual ODCs incurred.

(b) The Government will only reimburse the Contractor for the actual allowable and allocable costs the Contractor incurs for these ODCs. The Government will not reimburse the Contractor under these estimates for any profit.

(c) Non-proposed costs are limited to Government-directed travel, Government-directed training, and any other Government-directed ODC purchases.

L.15.1 TECHNICAL APPROACH

The Offeror’s technical approach shall consist of the following:

(a) Contract staffing:

(1) The Offeror shall complete Attachment L-05, Labor Distribution and Mapping Template and Attachment L-06, Labor Classification and Qualification Crosswalk for submittal in Volume II, Price.

The offeror shall map headcount to proposed labor classifications. The staffing plan must be consistent with provisions L.15.2 Management Approach and L.16 Volume II, Price Instructions, and shall—

(i) Provide rationale to substantiate the sufficiency of proposed resource estimates;

(ii) Clearly depict all resources proposed and indicate whether proposed hours include uncompensated overtime or any corporate investment (i.e., positions that the offeror elects to offset or absorb, wholly or in part); and

(2) Each contract must have a value greater than or equal to $7 million; and

(3) Collectively, contract(s) must demonstrate the offeror’s or its major subcontractor(s)’ experience, as a prime Contractor or subcontractor, performing services similar to those described in PWS Sections:

(End of provision)

L.18.3 NOTICE OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST

(a) Notice: The contracting officer has determined that this acquisition may give rise to an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). Accordingly, the attention of prospective offerors is invited to FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational Conflicts of Interest. The contracting officer will not award a contract until the Government determines any conflict or potential conflict of interest is reasonably resolved.

(b) Description of potential conflict is the existence of conflicting roles that might bias the Contractor's judgment (i.e., impaired objectivity) and an unfair competitive advantage (i.e., unequal access to information). These conflicts may arise in the Contractor’s participation in the review, assessment, inspection, and evaluation of work performed by other engineering or services contracts in support of NASA programs and projects. Absent a financial interest, a conflict may be avoided if the work performed under an existing engineering or safety and mission assurance contracts does not place the Contractor or subcontractor(s) in a position of developing specifications or statements of work that will be incorporated into a solicitation or reviewing and assessing its performance under the SMASS IV contract.

(c) Responsibility of the offeror:

(1) OCI Assessment:

(ii) The assessment must identify all efforts performed or to be performed under NASA contracts.

(iii) For each contract, the offeror and its subcontractor(s) must identify the contract name, number, and type; period of performance; Contracting Officer’s name and
