(3) o Are, o are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a

Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and

(4) o Have, o have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge.

In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) Examples.

(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive

Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to

Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).]

SECTION M

SOLICITATION PROVISIONS

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items (JAN 1999)

(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. Technical Capability

a. Past Performance

b. Quality Control Plan

c. Safety Plan

d. Capability and Program Success

e. Handling of High-Profile Situation

Past performance, Quality Control Plan, and Capability and Program Success when combined, are significantly more important than cost or price.

(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.

(a) 1. Technical Capability: The Government will assess the capability of each offeror on the basis of; (a) its organizational past performance; (b) its Quality Control Plan and (c) its understanding of the Government's requirements, as reflected in the reasonableness of the offered price. The Government will not assess capability on a pass/fail basis, but will use its assessments of capability as a basis for comparing offerors to determine best value.

a. Past Performance: Provide a listing of your projects completed or begun during the past 3 years, which most closely relate to this type of work. Include the following information for each contract:

Type of work?

Explain if you completed the project as scheduled, explain circumstances?

Describe projects strengths/weaknesses?

Completion date, or stage of completion if still in progress?

Business name, point of contact, address, telephone?

The name of the Quality Control personnel assigned to the contract?

We will assess the quality of the work performed for prior clients, including timeliness, compliance with requirements, and the degree of customer satisfaction. If you experienced difficulties on any of these contracts, please describe the difficulties and any steps taken to prevent a recurrence or mitigate the deficiencies.

b. Quality Control Plan: Offeror’s shall submit their Quality Control Plan showing how they intend to meet Government performance standards for each task and subtask associated with this contract.

The Quality Control Plan (QCP) should recognize the responsibility of the Contractor to carry out its quality control obligations and contain measurable inspection and acceptance criteria corresponding to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The QCP should focus on the level of performance stipulated in the Quality Control Plan clause on pages 10 and 68 of this document, rather than the methodology used by the Contractor to achieve that level of performance.

(c) Safety Plan: Explain your safety plan as it relates to telecommunication services?

(d) Capability and Program Success: Explain your capabilities and program success in monitoring other telecommunication services such as the one solicited? Please explain if any of these operations were government? Explain the method in how you facilitated these services, e.g.
