52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (RFO DEVIATION

MAR 2026)

(a) Evaluation factors. 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 will be used to evaluate offers:

140R4026Q0121 GC Whse Copier Maint & Supply Page 4 of 22

Factor 1: Technical Approach

The Government will evaluate the offeror's technical narrative to assess the soundness and adequacy of its approach to performing quarterly preventative maintenance, meeting the response-time requirements (60-minute acknowledgment; 1-business-day on-site response for critical repairs; 3-business-day on-site response for routine repairs), maintaining the required 95% monthly uptime standard, and providing comparable loaner equipment when required. The Government will also evaluate the offeror's demonstrated authorization or certification to service Xerox VersaLink equipment using OEM parts and consumables.

Factor 2: Past Performance The Government will evaluate the relevance and quality of the offeror's past performance based on the references submitted, including the similarity in size, scope, and complexity to the requirement described in the PWS, and the offeror's record of meeting response-time, uptime, and maintenance schedule commitments on those contracts. The Government may also consider information obtained from the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), if available, in addition to the references submitted by the offeror. Offerors with no relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably, but will receive a neutral rating.

Factor 3: Price The offeror’s total aggregate price (sum of the base year and all four option year prices) will be evaluated for reasonableness and competitiveness, considering market conditions, prior purchases of similar items, and the level of competition received.

(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. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The total evaluated price will be calculated as the sum of the CLINs’ extended prices, including the base, all option CLINs, and the 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services. The Option to Extend Service’s price will be calculated by prorating the last option’s CLIN price for a period of 6 months.

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

(End of provision)

Within this clause, COR means Contracting Officer's Representative. If there is no COR appointed and identified to the Contractor, the term instead will mean the Program Manager or any other authorized individual responsible for technical oversight under the contract. “Work site” means the Government facility, office, construction site, and any other area within the Government office or facility that the Contractor must access to accomplish work under this contract.

(2) The work performed under this contract shall only be accomplished by individuals (in the employment of the Contractor or any subcontractors) whose conduct and behavior is consistent with the efficiency of the Federal Service and the requirements of this contract, and who are acceptable to the contracting officer. If Reclamation finds a Contractor employee to be unsuitable or unfit for his or her assigned duties, the contracting officer will direct the Contractor to remove the individual from the contract and access to the Federal facility at which the contract activities are occurring.

(3) The Contractor’s employees governed by this contract may need access to sensitive information and/or sensitive areas. The Federal Government (Government) reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine suitability of Contractor personnel and deny access to any sensitive information or project specific area to any personnel for any cause.

During performance of the contract, the Contractor shall keep the COR apprised of any changes in personnel, or changes in personnel access or duration, to ensure that performance is not delayed by compliance with credentialing processes.

140R4026Q0121 GC Whse Copier Maint & Supply Page 12 of 22

(6) A Contractor employee will not be provided access to a Government facility or information system until a Government PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge has been issued to the Contractor employee. For those individuals that will be receiving a PIV Card, the Government may, at its discretion, issue a temporary identification card or visitor identification badge after the electronic background investigation forms have been received and the investigation is initiated.

(7) All Contractor employees shall access the facility via the facility’s entry screening system and visibly display the Government-issued PIV Card, temporary identification card, or visitor identification badge at all times. Contractor employees must visibly wear the Government-issued identification card at all times they are on Government facilities.

The Contractor may be required to turn in access control cards or identification cards on a daily basis.

(8) Misuse or loss of access control or identification cards, or failure to comply with required surrender of such cards may, at Government discretion, result in Contractor personnel being denied access to the work site, at no cost to Government. The Contractor may be charged up to $500 for each occurrence for any required replacement of Government-issued access control or identification cards due to loss or misuse. At the end of contract performance, or when a Contractor employee is no longer working under this contract, the Contractor shall ensure that all access control and identification cards are returned to the COR.

(9) All Contractor personnel, including subcontractor personnel, with access to the work site shall be U.S. citizens or foreign individuals legally residing in, or legally admitted to, the U.S. For all non-U.S. citizens working under this contract, irrespective of length of time working on the contract, the Contractor shall provide to the COR, legible and valid copies of the individual’s passport and visa (unless individual is on the Visa Waiver Program) a minimum of 14 calendar days prior to beginning work or arriving at the facility.

The Contractor shall report any violations of contract provisions, laws, executive orders, regulations, and guidance to the contracting officer. The Contractor shall report any information raising a doubt as to whether an individual’s eligibility for continued employment or access to sensitive information is consistent with the interests of National Security and the Public Trust.

Failure to comply with Reclamation policies, procedures, or other published security requirements may result in termination of the contract or removal of some contracted employees from Reclamation buildings and/or facilities at no cost to the Government.

(12) All provisions of this clause shall equally apply to all subcontractors. The Contractor shall incorporate the substance of this clause in all subcontracts.

(13) These security requirements apply to all sections of this Contract including Contract Drawings and other Contract Specifications as applicable. Related documents include other general provisions of Construction or Operations and Maintenance type Contracts, including FAR clauses by reference or as amended by related documents.

(b) Information Security Requirements.

(1) Sensitive Information. The term “sensitive information” means any information which warrants a degree of protection and administrative control as defined by Reclamation or that meets the criteria for exemption from public disclosure set forth under Sections 552 and 552a of Title 5, United States Code: the Freedom of Information Act and the Privacy Act. Sensitive information is generally categorized as CONTROLLED UNCLASSIFIED INFORMATION (CUI), but in some cases may include other unclassified information.

(The protection of National Security information is beyond the scope of this clause. If any work on National Security information is required under this contract, it is addressed under other contract clauses.) The Contractor shall protect this type of information from unauthorized release into public domain, or to unauthorized persons, organizations, or subcontractors. Information which, either alone or in aggregate, is deemed sensitive by Reclamation shall be handled and protected in accordance with Reclamation Directives and Standards SLE 02-01 Identifying and Safeguarding Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), which is available from the COR or at http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle.

(i) Any Government-furnished information or material does not become the property of the Contractor and may be withdrawn at any time. Upon expiration or termination of the contract, all documents released to the Contractor and any material created using data from such documents shall be returned to the COR for final disposition.

Government-furnished information residing on any electronic systems (laptops, servers, desktops, media) shall be deleted from those systems using a COR-approved data erasure solution. Only with prior authorization from the contracting officer may the Contractor retain the material. The Contractor or subcontractor shall not disclose or release the materials provided to the Contractor to any individuals of the Contractor's organization not directly engaged in providing services under the contract or that do not have a valid need-to-know. All technical data provided to the Contractor by the http://www.usbr.gov/recman/DandS.html#sle

140R4026Q0121 GC Whse Copier Maint & Supply Page 14 of 22

Government shall be protected from public or private disclosure in accordance with the markings printed on them. All other information relating to the items to be delivered or the services to be performed under this contract shall not be disclosed by any means without prior approval of the contracting officer. Prohibited dissemination or disclosure includes, but is not limited to: permitting access to such information by foreign nationals or by immigrant aliens who may be employed by the Contractor, publication of technical or scientific papers, advertising, disclosure to Contractor staff not investigated and deemed acceptable at the appropriate information sensitivity level, and any other public release. The Contractor shall maintain, and furnish upon request of the contracting officer, records of the names of individuals who have access to sensitive material in its custody and the sensitive material to which the individuals had access.

All questions regarding information security, access, and control shall be referred to the

COR.

(ii) The Contractor shall not release to anyone outside the Contractor’s organization any sensitive, or otherwise protected information, regardless of medium in which it is contained (for example, film, tape, document, electronic), pertaining to any part of this contract or any Reclamation program or activity, unless the contracting officer has given prior written approval. This includes, but is not limited to, news releases, marketing promotions, articles, interviews, reports, social media posts, and any other media releases. Requests for approval shall identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, the purpose for the release, and a description of the need-to-know. The Contractor shall submit its request to the contracting officer ten business days before the proposed date for release. Subcontractors shall submit requests for authorization to release through the prime Contractor to the contracting officer.

(iii) The Contractor shall notify the COR immediately when known or suspected loss/compromise of sensitive information or other documents, notes, drawings, sketches, reports, photographs, exposed film or similar information which may affect the security interests of Government has occurred. This requirement extends to employees and other personnel working on behalf of the Contractor, and expands responsibility to include prompt reporting of security issues, including observed or subsequently discovered efforts by unauthorized persons to gain unauthorized access to sensitive information.

(2) Classified Information.

(i) The disclosure of U.S. Government documents by third parties can result in damage to our national security. While this contract may not deal directly with classified information, each contractor is obligated to protect classified information pursuant to all applicable laws and to use Government information technology systems in accordance with agency procedures so that the integrity of such systems is not compromised.

(ii) Unauthorized disclosures of classified documents (whether in print, on a blog, or on websites, or other electronic or non-electronic media) do not alter the documents' classified status or automatically result in declassification of the documents. To the

140R4026Q0121 GC Whse Copier Maint & Supply Page 15 of 22 contrary, classified information, whether or not already posted on public websites or disclosed to the media, remains classified, and must be treated as such by Federal employees and contractors, until it is declassified by an appropriate U.S. Government authority. Executive Order 13526, Classified National Security Information (December 29, 2009), Section 1.1.(c) states, "Classified Information shall not be declassified automatically as a result of any unauthorized disclosure of identical or similar information." Although the Department has taken steps to prevent access to publicly disclosed classified materials from Departmental computers, it is important to understand our continuing duties and responsibilities in this regard.

(iii) Contractors (which include all employees of the contractor, as well as subcontractors and its employees performing work for the contractor) are reminded of the following obligations with respect to the treatment of classified information and the use of unclassified government information technology systems:

(iv) The contractor shall not, while using unclassified Government computers or other devices (such as phones or tablets) access documents that are marked classified (including classified documents made publicly available by a third party), as doing so risks that material still classified will be placed onto unclassified systems. This requirement does not restrict contractor access to unclassified, publicly available news reports (and other unclassified material) that may in turn discuss classified material, as distinguished from access to underlying documents that themselves are marked classified (including if the underlying classified documents are available on public web sites or otherwise in the public domain).

(v) For contracts that require access to classified information, the contractor is responsible for obtaining the required national security clearance through the Department of the Defense National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual (NISPOM). Any classified contracts will be coordinated through the Reclamation Chief Security Officer, or for IT requirements, the Bureau Chief Information Security Officer. No contractor shall access classified information unless proper clearances have been obtained and transmitted to Reclamation. For further information, refer to 443 DM 1 or DOD NISPOM 5220.22-M dated February 28, 2006 (incorporating change 2 dated May 18, 2016).

(vi) Classified information shall not be removed from official premises.

(vii) Classified information shall not be disclosed without proper authorization.

The following paragraph (e) is substituted with the paragraph (e) of the basic clause:

(e) Site Security Requirements

(1) General Description. This section provides provisions to ensure the full security integrity of the facility and personnel working at the facility. The work of this section may involve interfaces with a number of Government security personnel, normally coordinated through the designated COR. The Contractor is responsible for ensuring that activities are accomplished in a manner that complies fully with applicable security statutes, regulations, policies, directives, and standards.

(2) Government Security Personnel. When and where applicable, personnel may be assigned to control access, secure materials or activities at the work site, or escort Contractor personnel in sensitive areas. Personnel may include security managers, security guards, security contractors acting as agents of the Government, law enforcement personnel, or other contractors or employees. These individuals may be used to ensure the overall security and integrity of the site or building and provide controlled access. These individuals may conduct inspections of all workers, vehicles, equipment, or materials entering, or re-entering the work site. The inspection may be done visually, with walk-through and/or hand-held metal detectors, or by other means as may be deemed necessary by Reclamation.

(3) Contractor Guard Force. At the Contractor’s sole discretion, and at the Contractor’s own expense, with prior written Government approval, a Contractor may be authorized to hire its own guards to secure Contractor-owned equipment and/or to protect Contractor employees or subcontractors. If such a relationship is permitted, the Contractor shall be exclusively liable for all guard activities to include action or inaction of Contractor’s guard personnel. The Government will not offer nor provide any indemnification. Contractor shall be solely responsible for guards at all times to include any supervision, oversight, and for the development of local guard orders and/or procedures. The Contractor shall be responsible for coordinating all guard activities with the COR and shall develop and submit to the COR, for advance approval, any guard orders and/or guard procedures.

(5) General Provisions.

(i) General. The Contractor shall comply with the Government’s site security procedures as specified, and as requested subsequent to award of Contract. Failure of the Contractor to comply with required access controls, information handling procedures, or any other security controls or procedures, may result in revocation of Contractor personnel access to the work site. The Government reserves the right to modify or clarify security provisions of this contract based on changing political and civil circumstances, and perceived threats to personnel or the facility.

(ii) Security Facilities and Equipment. The Contractor shall use security facilities and equipment only for the purposes intended and as directed by the contracting officer. The Contractor shall comply with the Government’s instructions for use of secure storage areas, site enclosure and gates, temporary security lighting, building space enclosure, and lockup devices and systems established for detection, monitoring, signaling, and alarming field office facilities. Measures necessary to secure the integrity of materials, equipment, and tools installed or used in furtherance of this contract shall be at no cost to the Government.

(iii) Security Personnel Availability/Work Schedules. The Contractor shall notify the COR at least 48 hours in advance of any projected work which might impact on security or require the scheduling of extended security personnel support. The Contractor shall provide a weekly work schedule, such as anticipated delivery of materials, use of explosives or heavy machinery, and extra time needed for continuous or inherently lengthy construction or project specific operations (such as concrete placement).

(iv) Deliveries. The Contractor shall provide at least one day’s advance notice of major deliveries, including time of arrival and trucks/carriers/documentation to be expected for arrival at work site.

(vi) Inspections and Searches. The Government reserves unqualified and unlimited right at any time to conduct security-related inspections or searches of work, material, equipment, personnel, and temporary facilities at the work site. The Contractor shall afford unrestricted access to work and allow surveillance and inspection by any Government personnel as authorized by the COR. The Government reserves the right to conduct searches of articles and personal effects of all Contractor personnel, both at point of entry and exit from the work site or Government facility. All Contractor personnel entering and leaving the work site may be required to pass through a Walk- Through-Metal-Detector device and/or other detection devices.

(vii) After Duty Hours. No Contractor personnel shall be permitted access to the work site after the Government’s established working hours without prior authorization from the Government. All personnel seeking access to the site after the Government’s established working hours may be required to sign in and out in a visitor's log that may be maintained by the on duty security personnel (if any).

(viii) Access Procedures at Sensitive Areas. In some instances, the Contractor may be required to erect temporary security barriers and doors to isolate a sensitive area as instructed by the Government. The Contractor may be required to install locks and thereafter control access. The Contractor shall comply with the Government’s requirement for limited and escorted access to the sensitive area. The Contractor shall notify the COR at least one day prior to each requested access to the sensitive area that is outside of the Government’s established working hours.

(ix) Reported Violations. Where an indication, report, or observation of unauthorized access or performance of unauthorized work has occurred, the Government reserves the right to stop work and deny access until the circumstance and work can be investigated, inspected, tested, and resolved. The entire cost of such stoppages and resolutions shall be borne by Contractor, except when alleged violations of established security requirements, after investigation, are found not to be the fault of the Contractor.

(x) Briefings. Contractor personnel who will be assigned to this project, and who will have access to the work site, may be required to attend Government-conducted security briefings. The Government reserves the right to conduct security briefings for Contractor personnel and visitors at all levels of involvement in performance of work and maintenance of security. Required briefings may include, but are not limited to, the following: Information Security, Site Security Requirements and Procedures, Security Awareness, Delivery Methods and Inspections, Storage Requirements, Reporting Requirements, Supervisory Procedures, Contractor Employee Conduct, Visitor Control, and Threats.

(xi) Key Control. Control of keys/access codes and lock combinations is essential for the Government’s project security. The Contractor shall not allow keys or access codes to be duplicated or removed from the work site, nor allow lock combinations to be divulged without specific written advanced authorization from the COR. Such loss of

140R4026Q0121 GC Whse Copier Maint & Supply Page 19 of 22 control, observed or suspected, may result in a requirement to change locks involved at the Contractor’s expense. At the direction of the COR, the Contractor shall provide duplicate keys and lock combinations to Government security personnel when requested for the purpose of security inspections and emergency actions, including keys, combinations, and access codes needed for unrestricted access to every area and element of the project. The Contractor may be required to establish a key control program that is acceptable to the Government for Government-issued keys and for heavy machinery parked at the construction site (if this is a construction contract).

(xii) Vehicle Control. In general, parking of vehicles on the work site shall not be permitted, except for tractors, cranes, and similar equipment used directly in performance of work, for delivery of materials/supplies, and for removal of waste and surplus material. The Government may designate an approved contractor employee parking area. Upon entering the work site, vehicles and drivers may be subject to search and inspection. The Contractor shall obtain authorization from the COR to park the Contractor’s official vehicles and motorized vehicular construction equipment that are required/desired to be parked on the work site. Vehicles in violation may be towed off the work site at the Contractor’s expense. Where Government-designated employee parking is not available, parking of construction employees’ automobiles and similar transportation vehicles may be excluded from the work site. It is the Contractor’s responsibility to arrange for suitable accommodation for these vehicles.

(xiii) Prohibited/Restricted Items. Prohibited/restricted items and activities on the work site include but are not limited to the following: firearms and other weapons, except as specifically authorized by the COR in compliance with state and Federal laws and regulations; drugs, including narcotics, barbiturates, marijuana, alcoholic beverages, and similar substances, except for use with…
