(2) An identifier assigned by a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) or by the NATO Support and Procurement Agency (NSPA) to entities located outside the United States and its outlying areas that the DLA Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Branch records and maintains in the CAGE master file.

(d) Additional guidance for establishing and maintaining CAGE codes is available at https://cage.dla.mil.

(e) When a CAGE code is required for the immediate owner and/or the highest-level owner by Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.204-17 or 52.212-3(p), the Offeror shall obtain the respective CAGE code from that entity to supply the CAGE code to the Government.

(f) Do not delay submission of the offer pending receipt of a CAGE code.

(g) If the solicitation includes FAR clause 52.204-2, Security Requirements, a subcontractor requiring access to classified information under a contract shall be identified with a CAGE code on the DD Form 254.

(b) The Offeror may submit one or more additional proposals with alternative line items, provided that alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation.

252.204-7024 Notice on the Use of the Supplier Performance Risk System. (Mar 2023)

NOTICE ON THE USE OF THE SUPPLIER PERFORMANCE RISK SYSTEM (MAR 2023)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

"Item risk" means the probability that a product, based on intended use, will introduce performance risk resulting in safety issues, mission degradation, or monetary loss.

"Price risk" means a measure of whether a proposed price for a product or service is consistent with historical prices paid for that item or service.

"Supplier risk" means the probability that an award may subject the procurement to the risk of unsuccessful performance or to supply chain risk (see Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 239.7301).

(b) The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), available at https://piee.eb.mil/, will be used in the evaluation of the Quoter or Offeror's performance. SPRS retrieves item, price, quality, delivery, and contractor information on contracts from Government reporting systems in order to develop risk assessments.

(c) The Contracting Officer will consider SPRS risk assessments during the evaluation of quotations or offers received in response to this solicitation as follows:

(1) Item risk will be considered to determine whether the procurement represents a high performance risk to the Government.

(2) Price risk will be considered in determining if a proposed price is consistent with historical prices paid for a product or a service or otherwise creates a risk to the Government.

(3) Supplier risk, including but not limited to quality and delivery, will be considered to assess the risk of unsuccessful performance and supply chain risk.

(d) SPRS risk assessments are generated daily. Quoters or Offerors are able to access their risk assessments by following the access instructions in the SPRS user's guide available at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/reference.htm. Quoters and Offerors are granted access to SPRS for their own risk assessment classifications only. SPRS reporting procedures and risk assessment methodology are detailed in the SPRS user's guide. The method to challenge a rating generated by SPRS is also provided in the user's guide. SPRS evaluation criteria are available at https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil/pdf /SPRS_DataEvaluationCriteria.pdf.

(e) The Contracting Officer may consider any other available and relevant information when evaluating a quotation or an offer.

252.215-7008 Only One Offer. (Dec 2022)

ONLY ONE OFFER (DEC 2022)

(a) Cost or pricing data requirements. After initial submission of offers, if the Contracting Officer notifies the Offeror that only one offer was received, the Offeror agrees to-

(1) Submit any additional cost or pricing data that is required in order to determine whether the price is fair and reasonable (10 U.S.C. 3705) or to comply with the statutory requirement for certified cost or pricing data (10 U.S.C. 3702 and FAR 15.403-3); and

(2) Except as provided in paragraph (b) of this provision, if the acquisition exceeds the certified cost or pricing data threshold and an exception to the requirement for certified cost or pricing data at FAR 15.403-1(b)(2) through (5) does not apply, certify all cost or pricing data in accordance with paragraph (c) of DFARS provision 252.215-7010, Requirements for Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data, of this solicitation.

(b) Canadian Commercial Corporation. If the Offeror is the Canadian Commercial Corporation, certified cost or pricing data are not required. If the Contracting Officer notifies the Canadian Commercial Corporation that additional data other than certified cost or pricing data are required in accordance with DFARS 225.870-4(c), the Canadian Commercial Corporation shall obtain and provide the following:

(1) Profit rate or fee (as applicable).

(2) Analysis provided by Public Works and Government Services Canada to the Canadian Commercial Corporation to determine a fair and reasonable price (comparable to the analysis required at FAR 15.404-1).

(3) Data other than certified cost or pricing data necessary to permit a determination by the U.S. Contracting Officer that the proposed price is fair and reasonable [U.S. Contracting Officer to provide description of the data required in accordance with FAR 15.403-3(a)(1) with the notification].

(4) As specified in FAR 15.403-3(a)(4), an offeror who does not comply with a requirement to submit data that the U.S. Contracting Officer has deemed necessary to determine price reasonableness or cost realism is ineligible for award unless the head of the contracting activity determines that it is in the best interest of the Government to make the award to that offeror.

(c) Subcontracts. Unless the Offeror is the Canadian Commercial Corporation, the Offeror shall insert the substance of this provision, including this paragraph (c), in all subcontracts exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold defined in FAR part 2.

252.215-7013 Supplies and Services Provided by Nontraditional Defense Contractors. (Jan 2023)

SUPPLIES AND SERVICES PROVIDED BY NONTRADITIONAL DEFENSE CONTRACTORS (JAN 2023)

Offerors are advised that in accordance with 10 U.S.C. 3457, supplies and services provided by a nontraditional defense contractor, as defined in DFARS 202.101, may be treated as commercial products or commercial services. The decision to apply commercial product or commercial service procedures to the procurement of supplies and services from a nontraditional defense contractor does not require a commercial product or commercial service determination and does not mean the supplies or services are commercial.

Section 00 21 13 - Instructions to Bidders

Instructions to Bidders:

NOTES:

(A) Reference Limitations on Subcontracting FAR 52.219-14. This procurement is 100% Set-aside under NAICS Code 237990-Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction, for HUBZone small business. The small business size standard is $45,000,000. The awardee of this contract shall comply with all requirements up to and including the following:

Services (except construction): Contractor will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both services and supplies, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the service portion of the contract.

Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies): Contractor will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded. When a contract includes both supplies and services, the 50 percent limitation shall apply only to the supply portion of the contract.

General construction: Contractor will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

Construction by special trade contractors: Contractor will not pay more than 75 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count towards the prime contractor's 75 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

Upon the Contracting Officer's request, the Contractor shall submit a report to the Contracting Officer documenting compliance with FAR 52.2l9-l4.

If the Contractor is using Similarly Situated Entities, it must be clearly identifiable in the submitted reports. If the required percentage is not being met the Contractor shall also include, with the semiannual report, a plan to meet the required percentage before the contract end date.

The below calculation for FAR 52.219-14 is for example only and not representative of this solicitation or any contract that may be awarded as a result of this solicitation.

1. Total value of contract award = $5,000,000.00

2. Cost of materials = $3,000,000.00

3. Adjusted amount (contract award value less cost of materials): $2,000,000.00 ($5,000,000.00 - $3,000,000.00)

4. 85% of $2,000,000.00 may be paid to non-similarly situated entities ($1,700,000.00)

5. 15% of $2,000,000.00 must be paid to a similarity situated entity ($300,000.00)

What is similarly situated and what does it mean for the prime?

i. 1st tier subcontractor that has the same small business program status of the qualified prime contractor (i.e. HUBZone prime contractor, any HUBZone subcontractor is similarly situated).

ii. Any 1st tier subcontracts to similarly situated entities can count towards the prime contractor's self-performance requirements.

iii. Example: HUBZone Set-Aside Contract, 1st Tier is a HUBZone Small Business subcontractor. This meets the similarly situated requirement and the work performed by the HUBZone subcontractor will count towards the HUBZone prime contractor's self-performance requirement.

iv. Example: SDVOSB Set Aside Contract, 1st Tier is a WOSB subcontractor only, this does not meet the "similarly situated" requirement and the WOSB subcontractor performance does not count towards the SDVOSB prime contractor's self-performance requirement.

Partnering With Us, https://www.usace.army.mil/Business-With-Us/Partnering/, in all solicitation notices posted at the Governmentwide point of entry for construction contracts anticipated to be awarded to a small business pursuant to FAR Part 19 to be in compliance with FAR 36.211(b).
