c. The Contractor agrees to insert the substance of this clause, including this subparagraph (c), in all subcontracts hereunder.

8. AWARD OF TASK ORDERS UNDER MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACTS.

a. More than one contract is being awarded for the same scope of work as this contract. Each contractor will be afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for each task order exceeding $3,500, unless one of the conditions in paragraph d below applies. Request for Task Order Proposals and resulting Task Order awards shall comply with FAR 16.505 Ordering, DFARS 216.505 Ordering and AFARS 5116.505 Ordering.

b. Request for Task Order Proposal (RTOP): When the Government has a requirement for work to be performed; the Contracting Officer (KO) will notify contractors via RTOP:

(1) The work to be performed, the desired performance period and any other information considered to be of assistance to the contractor in preparing a proposal. The government will transmit the written RTOP by electronic means. The RTOP will not obligate the Government to issue resulting task orders under this contract, nor will it authorize the Contractor to perform any work pursuant to such requests for proposal prior to the Contractor's receipt of an authorized Task Order award.

(2) The Government will consider one or more of the following factors when evaluating contractor’s proposals for each task order:

(a) Proposed price

(b) Proposed schedule

(c) Proposed Technical solution

(d) Past performance

(3) Price will be an evaluation criterion in all RTOPs. The Contractor will be expected to provide their best price for the individual RTOP in their initial proposal.

(4) RTOP Evaluation and Task Order Award: The Government will identify evaluations factors in the RTOP. The evaluation used will identify the basis for selecting a contractor for award. Each RTOP will specify how the award decision will be made. Upon completion of evaluations, the Contracting Officer will issue a task order to the Contractor whose proposal is most advantageous to the government in accordance with the outlined evaluation criteria. The Contracting Officer will notify all MATOC contractors of the selection decision in writing.

c. Competition is a major focus of the MATOC; therefore, the government intends to compete all task orders.

Accordingly, awardees are required to propose on a minimum of one (1) effort per three (3) consecutive RTOPs or at least one (1) RTOP per three-month period; whichever comes later. At this point the contractor will be considered dormant and the Government may choose not to exercise the option period for the contractor. Contractors that decide not to submit a proposal shall advise the Contracting Officer, in writing, of their intention not to submit a proposal on or before the closing date and time established in the RTOP. Contractors in the MATOC program are reminded that participation in the MATOC includes submitting proposals and by not submitting a proposal in response to a RTOP the contractor is thereby refusing to participate. Contractors are highly encouraged to actively submit proposals.

d. Fair Opportunity: In accordance with FAR 16.505 and DFAR 216.505, each awardee will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each order issued over the micro-purchase threshold unless exception(s) apply in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2). The following process is established for the exceptions stated in FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(A):

(1) If the agency’s need for the services or supplies is of such urgency that providing such opportunity to all such Contractors would result in unacceptable delays and there is more than one contractor capable of meeting an urgent task order, initial means of rotational selection shall be performed by randomly drawn lot. In subsequent urgent requirements, the order of rotation will be maintained, however, the government reserves the right to apply some, or all the evaluation criterion stated in paragraph b(2) above, in the rotation and may exclude those contractors who do not meet the RTOP evaluation criteria.

e. If the contractor believes it was not fairly considered for a particular task order, the contractor may present a complaint to the Contracting Officer. The contractor may appeal the explanation or decision of the Contracting Officer to the USACE Ombudsman. The following individual has been appointed as ombudsman for USACE.

USACE Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman

RICHARD L. JENKINS

TO/DO Ombudsman 7701 Telegraph Road Alexandria, VA 22315-1000 Email: richard.l.jenkins@usace.army.mil

The Ombudsman will review the contractor’s complaint, and in coordination with the Contracting Officer, ensure that the contractor was afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for the task order.

f. Post-award debriefing for task orders exceeding $6,000,000 will be given to requesting contractors.

g. Protests are authorized in connection with a task order exceeding $25,000,000. The Government Accountability Office (GAO) will have exclusive jurisdiction over such protests.

9. CONTRACTOR POOL. The Government reserves the right to not exercise the option period for contractors with unsuccessful performance during the base year

10. SECURITY REQURIEMENTS. Security requirements shall be determined at the task order level and may include, but not limited to, any of the following:

a.General Security Requirements and Guidance: The security requirements described below apply to all contract personnel (including employees of the prime Contractor (“Contractor”) and all subcontractor employees) supporting the performance requirements of this contract. The Contractor is responsible for compliance with these security requirements. Questions regarding security matters shall be addressed to the designated Government representative (e.g., Contracting Officer Representative (COR), Requiring Activity (RA) representative, or Contracting Officer (if a COR or other RA representative is not appointed)). Contract personnel are critical to the overall security and safety of US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) installations, facilities and activities, and security awareness training contributes to those efforts. The Department of Defense (DoD) and Army security training requirements specified below, if applicable, are performance requirements; all applicable contract personnel shall complete initial training within 30 days of contract award or the date new contract personnel begin performance on the contract. Within five business days from the completion of training, the Contractor shall provide written documentation (e.g., email or memorandum) to the Government representative. The documentation shall include the names of contract personnel trained and which training they completed; the Contractor shall maintain training records as part of their contract files and be prepared to provide copies of training certificates to the Government representative. Contractor personnel and vehicles are subject to search when entering federal installations. Additionally, all contract personnel shall comply with Force Protection Condition (FPCON) measures, Random Antiterrorism Measures (commonly referred to as “RAMs”), and Health Protection Condition (HPCON) measures. The Contractor is responsible for meeting performance requirements during elevated FPCON and/or HPCON levels in accordance with applicable RA plans and procedures --this includes identifying mission essential and non-mission essential personnel.
