Selection of the Contractor for this Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract will be based on NARA’s assessment of the best overall value to the Government. Accordingly, best value for this contract will be obtained through a lowest priced technically acceptable evaluation.
Acceptability will be determined by accessing the Contractors ability to provide the requirement outlined in the solicitation. The Contractor will be evaluated to assess the demonstrated quality of performance on similar work, to include the ability to control the quality and cost of work, timeliness of performance, and effectiveness at accomplishing the goals of previous relevant work. Contractors are requested to submit no more than three (3) references for relevant past performance performed during the past five (5) years. Submission should include the entity name, a point of contact, contact information, dollar value of contract/order, brief description of work performed, and an explanation of how any performance difficulties were addressed and resolved.

Exceptions taken to any terms and conditions stated in the RFQ must be clearly outlined on a separate page of the
Contractor’s quotation entitled “Exceptions”. The Contractor must also include a justification and the cost impact of each exception noted. However, Exceptions may render the quotation unacceptable for award. The Government reserves the right to make an award on the initial quotation without communicating with contractors. For evaluation purposes, the total ceiling price for each not-to-exceed Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) will be determined by multiplying the maximum quantity by the firm-fixed unit price. The total ceiling price for each performance year will be determined by summing the total ceiling prices of each CLIN. The evaluated total contract ceiling price will be determined by summing the total ceiling price of all performance years (base year and all option years). FAR provision 52.212-3, Offeror

ARCIS INTEGRATED LABEL FORM (ILF)
1.0 BACKGROUND
1.1 The National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) serves American
Democracy by safeguarding and preserving the records of our Government, ensuring that the people can discover, use, and learn from this documentary heritage. NARA ensuring continuing access to the essential documentation of the rights of American citizens and the actions of their government. NARA supports democracy, promotes civic education, and facilitates historical understanding of our national experience.
1.2 NARA supports lifecycle management of records in all three branches of the Federal
Government and provides sustained access to historically valuable records at NARA and the
Presidential Libraries. In support of its mission, NARA has established a Federal Record Centers
Program (FRCP) that provides high-quality, cost-effective storage and servicing of temporary textual records in Federal Record Centers (FRCs) located throughout the United States.
1.3 The FRCP has been in existence since the early 1950s, however under the direction of the
Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA instituted a fee-for service revolving fund on
October 1, 1999, for its records centers' storage and servicing operation. There are 18 facilities throughout the United States; total holdings of approximately 29 million cubic feet of records; 11 million reference requests serviced annually; 18,000 tons of paper recycled annually;
professional staff of approximately 1,100 Federal employees; and nearly 400 Federal agency customers.
1.4 The FRCP uses an IT system called Archives and Records Center Information System
(ARCIS) to support the management and operations of NARA’s vision to become the records center service provider of choice for the Federal Government.
1.5 ARCIS uses Siebel CRM software to support streamlined business processes. ARCIS is used as a tracking mechanism. It uses barcodes to manage space inventory, manage assets, and provide transaction control.
2.0 OBJECTIVE
2.1 NARA requires the services of a Contractor to develop and provide blank Integrated
Label Forms (ILFs) to be used in conjunction with the ARCIS application throughout the Federal
Record Centers FRCP.
2.2 An ILF is a business form having a removable label. The label is made from a paper ply and a piece of transfer tape.
3.0 DESCRIPTION OF REQUIREMENT
3.1 The Contractor shall design, develop, and produce the standard ILF (Base Year) and manufacture ILFs to meet specifications as shown in the ILF specifications. ILFs must be printed on the printer (or similar) as shown in laser printer specifications; and
3.2 Design or modify ILFs (Option Years). During the term of the contract, FRCP business needs will require the ILF to be redesigned or new ILFs created. The FRCP may need an ILF that is (5.5 inches by 8.5 inches) with a smaller peelable label. The Contractor must design new
ILFs to meet NARA business requirements including manufacture and supply in accordance with the Requirements. The Contractor must deliver five (5) samples of the redesigned or modified
ILFs within thirty (30) days of receiving the request.
3.3 The Contractor must maintain an inventory of all ILFs and provide re-design of ILFs, if needed.
4.0 INTEGRATED LABEL FORM (ILF) SPECIFICATIONS
4.1 An Integrated Label Form (ILF) is a business form with a removable label. It is the combination of a label and a form as one unit. The label/form is made from paper ply and a piece of transfer tape. The adhesive face of the transfer tape is attached to the paper ply rear face, with the side edges of transfer tape between the tractor openings inside the paper ply. At least one die cut is formed in the paper ply front face to define, with adhesive from the transfer tape.
4.2 The ARCIS ILF label measures 5.0 inches wide by 2.5 inches high. It is centered near the bottom of the form, measured at 8.5 inches by 11 inches.
4.3 The ILF differs from standard printing paper or (standard labels), only the die cut label has adhesive behind it. A typical use for this type of sheet is printing a packing slip on the portion of the sheet and a shipping address on the label portion.
4.4 ARCIS uses the ILF to print forms to retrieve records from record holding areas. The label is removed from the ILF and attached to the folder or box. The form (minus the label) is put into the place where the record was removed, as a charge-out card.

ADDITIONAL NARA TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Addenda to FAR clause 52.212-4)
I. SECURITY OF INFORMATION AND PROTECTION OF CONTROLLED
UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION, INCLUDING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
INFORMATION (APRIL 2017)
(a) Applicability
This clause applies to all controlled unclassified information, which may include personally identifiable information, as defined in Section B, regardless of the medium in which it is found and includes paper records.
(b) Definitions. As used in this clause:
“Breach” means the loss of control, compromise, unauthorized disclosure, unauthorized acquisition, unauthorized access, or any similar situation where persons other than authorized users, and for other than authorized purpose, have access or potential access to personally identifiable information, in usable form whether physical or electronic.
“Controlled Unclassified Information” means information the Government creates or possesses, or that an entity creates or possesses for or on behalf of the Government, that a law, regulation, or Government-wide policy requires or permits an agency to handle using safeguarding or dissemination controls. However, CUI does not include classified information or information a non-executive branch entity possesses and maintains in its own systems that did not come from, or was not created or possessed by or for, an executive branch agency or an entity acting for an agency. Law, regulation, or Government-wide policy may require or permit safeguarding or dissemination controls in three ways: Requiring or permitting agencies to control or protect the information but providing no specific controls, which makes the information CUI Basic;
requiring or permitting agencies to control or protect the information and providing specific controls for doing so, which makes the information CUI Specified; or requiring or permitting agencies to control the information and specifying only some of those controls, which makes the information CUI Specified, but with CUI Basic controls where the authority does not specify.
“Personally identifiable information (PII)” means any information that permits the identity of an individual to be directly or indirectly inferred, including any other information that is linked or linkable to that individual regardless of whether the individual is a citizen of the United States, legal permanent resident, or a visitor to the United States. Examples of PII include the following:
(1) Name.
(2) Date of birth.
(3) Mailing address.
(4) Telephone number.
(5) Social Security Number.

(i) Driver’s license number, passport number, or truncated social security number (such as last 4 digits);
(ii) Date of birth (month, day, and year);
(iii) Citizenship or immigration status;
(iv) Financial information such as account numbers or electronic funds transfer information;
(v) Medical information; and/or
(vi) System authentication information such as mother’s maiden name, account passwords or personal identification numbers.
(3) Other PII may be “sensitive” depending on its context, such as a list of employees with less than satisfactory performance ratings or an unlisted home address or phone number. In contrast, a business card or public telephone directory of agency employees contains PII but it is not sensitive.

(4) The Contractor shall only use CUI obtained under this contract for purposes of the
Contractor; it shall not be disclosed, released, disseminated, or published without the prior written consent of the Contracting Officer.
(5) If it is established elsewhere in this contract that information to be utilized under this contract, or a portion thereof, is subject to the Privacy Act, The Contractor shall follow the rules and procedures of disclosure set forth in the Privacy Act of 1974, 5 U.S.C. 552a, and implementing regulations and policies, with respect to systems of records determined to be subject to the Privacy Act.
(6) At expiration or termination of this contract, the Contractor shall turn over all CUI obtained under the Contractor that is in its possession.
(d) Systems Access. Work to be performed under this contract may require the handling of CUI, including PII. The Contractor shall provide the Government access to, and information regarding those systems handling CUI, including sensitive PII for the Government under the
