These gases support the manufacturing process in providing high quality print products of which the primary is United States Currency.
The purpose of this procurement action is to provide a time based replenishment process and a simple swap empty/full exchange of procuring industrial gases used in our currency manufacturing process. BEP storeroom personnel will issue gas cylinders to BEP components from a secured area. This will also minimize instances of over purchase, out of stock items and overall, provide better inventory management control. The BEP seeks to establish a Blanket Purchase Agreement for the replenishment of industrial gas cylinders.

The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to avoid an OCI. If the Contractor was aware of a potential OCI prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose or misrepresented relevant information to the Contacting Office, the Government may terminate the contract for default, debar the Contractor from Government contracting, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

IX. Disclosure of Conflicts of Interest
It is the BEP policy to award contracts to only those offerors whose objectivity is not impaired because of any related past, present, or planned interest, financial or otherwise, in organizations regulated by BEP or in organizations whose interests may be substantially affected by Departmental activities. Based on this policy, if at any time during the performance of this contract the Contractor knows of any Conflict of Interest situation affecting the organization, any of its officers working under this contract, has reason to believe that a conflict of interest situation might arise, or is made aware of an actual or potential conflict of interest situation:
The Contractor shall immediately provide to the Contracting Officer a written statement which describes in a concise manner all past, present or planned organizational, financial, contractual or other interest(s) with that organization regulated by BEP, or with that organization or individual whose interests may be substantially affected by Departmental activities, and which is related to the work under this contract. The interest(s) described shall include those of the Contractor, its affiliates, consultants, Subcontractors and key personnel of any of the above. Past interest shall be limited to within one year of the date of the offeror's technical quotation. Key personnel shall include any person owning more than 20% interest in the organization, and the organization's corporate officers, its senior managers and any employee who is responsible for making a decision or taking an action on this contract where the decision or action can have an economic or other impact on the interests of a regulated or affected organization.
The Contractor shall describe in detail when it became aware of the actual or potential conflict of interest, what action the organization has taken or proposes to take to mitigate and / or rectify the situation, and why it believes, in light of the interest(s) identified in (A) above, that performance of the contract can still be accomplished in an impartial and objective manner.
In the absence of any relevant interest identified in (A) above, the Contractor shall certify in its statement that to its best knowledge and belief no affiliation exists relevant to possible conflicts of interest. The Contractor must obtain the same information from any potential Subcontractors prior to award of a subcontract.
The Contracting Officer will review the statement submitted and may require additional relevant information from the Contractor. All such information, and any other relevant information known to BEP, will be used to determine whether a conflict of interest exists or a situation exists that may create a conflict of interest. If any such conflict of interest is found to exist, the Contracting Officer may (1) terminate the contract, or (2) determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the United States to continue the contract with the Contractor and (3) modify the contract to include appropriate provisions to mitigate or avoid such conflicts in the contract.
If the Contractor refuses to provide the written statement called for in paragraph (A), or any additional information that the Contracting Officer may require, the Contracting Officer may terminate the Contract for convenience if he or she deems that termination is in the best interest of the Government.
X. Evaluation of Contractor Performance
Interim and final evaluations of Contractor performance will be prepared for this contract in accordance with FAR 42.1503. The final performance evaluations will be prepared at the time of completion of work.
The Contractor can elect to review the evaluation and submit additional information or a rebuttal statement. The Contractor will be permitted 60 calendar days to respond. Contractor response is voluntary. If the Contractor does not respond within 60 days, the Government will presume that the Contractor has no comment. Any disagreement between the parties regarding an evaluation will be referred to an individual at a level above the Contracting Officer, whose decision is final.
Copies of the evaluations, Contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file, and may be used to support future award decisions.
Bureau of Engraving and Printing utilizes the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) and the Federal Awarded Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) to record and maintain past performance information. The past performance systems host a suite of web-enabled applications that are used to document Contractor performance information that is required by Federal Regulations.
The CPARS module assesses performance on contracts for Systems, Services, Information Technology, and Operations Support, Architect-Engineer contracts and performance on Construction contracts. CPARS reference material can be accessed at https://cpars.cpars.gov/cpars/app/home.do
Federal Awarded Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) http://www.fapiis.gov/fapiis/govt/datareports.jsp
The registration process requires the Contractor to identify an individual that will serve as a primary contact. This individual will be authorized access to the evaluation for review and comment. In addition, the Contractor is encouraged to identify a secondary contact in the event the primary contact is unavailable to process the evaluation within the required 60-day time period. After the BEP Contract Specialist registers the contract in one of the systems listed above, the Contractor will receive a system generated e-mail notifying him/her that the contract is registered. A system generated e-mail will also provide the Contractor with a User ID if the person does not already have a system User ID.
Once a performance evaluation has been prepared and is ready for comment, the Contractor representative will receive a system generated e-mail notification that the performance evaluation is electronically available for review and comment. The Contractor representative will receive an automated e-mail whenever an assessment is completed and can subsequently retrieve the completed assessment from system. Contractors may access evaluations at one of the websites listed above for review and comment in CPARS.
XI. Safety
State “Right to Know” laws and 29 CFR 1910.1200, Employees Hazard Communication Program, require manufacturers, importers and suppliers to label containers of toxic substances or hazardous chemicals with the chemical name and appropriate hazard warning and to provide Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) for these substances. Hazard Material Information not meeting the requirement will not be accepted (off-loaded) by the BEP.

Such notification shall include a justification for the diversion, together with information on the proposed substitute in sufficient detail to permit analysis of any potential negative effects on Contract performance. No substitution shall be made without the written consent of the Contracting Officer; provided, however, that the Contracting Officer may grant such consent retroactively.
