Special Contract Requirements

NATIONAL CRIME INFORMATION CENTER (NCIC) BACKGROUND CHECK

1. In addition to the requirements identified in FAR 52.204-9 - Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel and AFFARS 5352.242-9000 - Contractor access to Air Force installations, all contract employees require a positive NCIC background check prior to being granted access to Offutt AFB in accordance with the installation security policy. To expedite this requirement, the contractor shall make contact with the sponsoring unit/base agency POC or security manager listed above, and request a copy of the 55 SFS Contractor / Vendor Pass Request & NCIC Screening Spreadsheet (See information template below). The contractor shall provide the data requested on the spreadsheet for every employee proposed to perform work under this contract requiring physical access to Offutt AFB. The contractor shall return all completed spreadsheets to the sponsoring unit/base agency POC or security manager no later than 5 business days prior to the contract start date. See below for additional security checks needed for restricted and controlled areas.

55 SFS Contractor / Vendor NCOC Screening & Pass Request Spreadsheet Template (attached)

Note: Only use the spreadsheet provided by the base agency POC /or security manager. Input employee data as shown in the template format. Non U.S. Citizens require additional vetting processes and must physically present their employment authorization card to the Pass & ID office before access can be granted. If airfield access is required, please allow an additional 14 days to process the Entry Authorization List (EAL). Contact base agency POC for more details.

2. If an individual is denied a base pass/access to the installation, the contractor is not prohibited from hiring that individual for work on this contract as long as the work entailed does not require the individual to have physical access to Offutt AFB or any of its facilities. Employees who refuse to complete the form will be denied access to the installation.

3. All illegal aliens are considered unauthorized individuals and will be barred from the base. Illegal aliens attempting entry or found on the installation (if incorrectly issued a pass) will be processed as an unauthorized individual and removed from the installation. In addition to notifying the contractor of the illegal alien, the Offutt AFB Security Forces will notify AF Office of Special Investigations, local police and the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement office. Contractors are prohibited from hiring illegal aliens for work on a Government contract and the other Government agencies contacted upon discovery of the illegal may seek corrective and/or punitive actions pursuant to law against the hiring organization if violations occur.

4. The below list identifies reasons why an individual, if they are identified during the NCIC check, would be denied access to Offutt AFB:

Disqualifiers that would deny contract employee's entry/access to the installation or its facilities:

- U.S. Citizenship, immigration status, or Social Security Account Number cannot be verified.

- Wanted by federal or civil law enforcement authorities, regardless of offense or violation.

- Name appears on any federal agency's "watch list" or "hit list" for criminal behavior or terrorist activity.

- Conviction of espionage, sabotage, treason or terrorism.

- Conviction of firearms or explosives violation within the past five years.

- Conviction of murder, child molestation, child pornography, human trafficking within the past 15 years.

- Conviction of voluntary manslaughter, aggravated sexual assault/rape, armed assault/robbery within past 10 years.

- 2 Convictions of explosives violation, firearms violation, arson, burglary within the past 15 years.

- 2 Convictions of domestic violence, terroristic threats, larceny/felony, class I misdemeanor, drug possession with intent to distribute within the past 3 years.

- Incarcerated for 12 months or longer within the past three years, regardless of offense or violation.

- Name appears on any federal installation debarment list.

- Any other criminal activity identified on the NCIC check that the Wing Commander determines to be so serious as to pose a possible threat to the safety and security of base personnel and facilities.

5. A 100% Base Pass check is required for all contractors (even if a passenger in an authorized vehicle) and contract vehicles entering the installation. Contractors are not authorized to bring guests or other contract employees onto the installation unless those individuals are personally in possession of a base pass or Government Identification card.

RESTRICTED AREA & CONTROLLED AREA ACCESS REQUIREMENTS

1. In accordance with AFI 31-101, Integrated Defense, and the 55th Wing Integrated Defense Plan, access to controlled and restricted areas is a formal process with strict controls for approving unescorted entry.

Unescorted entry to these areas should never be granted solely on the basis of convenience.

a. Offutt AFB uses the AF Form 2586 Unescorted Entry Authorization Certificate, to document, coordinate, and approve unescorted entry authority for issuance of a base restricted area badge. Issuance of this type of credential requires additional vetting that takes place after the base access approval process.

b. Certain projects will only require the sponsor to submit an entry authority list (EAL) for contract worker entry. Use of EALs for accessing restricted/controlled areas will require additional vetting that takes place after the base access approval process.

2. Sponsoring unit security managers determine need and suitability for access into these areas based on contractual requirements and mission needs. Security managers will coordinate all restricted area access requests to appropriate unit commander(s) for access approval.

3. Contractors must have a "Green Stripe" Common Access Card (CAC), or long term Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS) Card for base access prior to a restricted area badge request being initiated.

RETURN OF BASE / RESTRICTED & CONTROLLED AREA ACCESS IDENTIFICATION

CREDENTIALS

1. AF Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS) 5352.242-9000, Contractor Access to Air Force Installations, October 2019, is incorporated in local contracts. The contractor's failure to comply with AFFARS requirements may result in withholding of final payment

2. All contractor identification credentials issued for base access and access to restricted/controlled areas must be returned to the issuing agency once the contract is completed or upon employment termination.

F. MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATION ON BASE

1. Contractor personnel are advised that seat belt usage is mandatory at all times on Offutt AFB. Nebraska state law requires the use of restraints in a vehicle. Offutt AFB Instruction 31-204, 20 October 2010, Security, Motor Vehicle Traffic Supervision states that failing to utilize seat belts or other restraints while moving will result in the issuance of a 7-day driving suspension and the individual's traffic history on Offutt AFB being assessed points for the first offense. Repeated offenses on Offutt AFB will result in the loss of on-base driving privileges and could have an adverse affect on your ability to perform your contract. Air Force Instruction 31-204, Air Force Motor Traffic Supervision, prescribes that installation commanders must ensure drivers comply with state and local traffic laws both on and off base. Accordingly, while on Offutt AFB, operators and passengers must wear restraints and may be ticketed by Offutt security personnel for failure to comply. In addition, the following administrative penalties, as a minimum, will be imposed on drivers who are cited for speeding 10 mph - 15 mph over base housing posted speed limits: the first offense will result in the issuance of a 7-day driving suspension and the individual's traffic history being assessed points. Repeated offenses on Offutt AFB will result in the loss of on-base driving privileges and could have an adverse affect on your ability to perform your contract.

2. Contractor personnel are advised that vehicle operators on a DoD installation and operators of Government owned vehicles will not use cell phones unless the vehicle is safely parked or unless they are using a hands-free device. The wearing of any other portable headphones, earphones, or other listening devices (except for handsfree cellular phones) while operating a motor vehicle is prohibited (DoD Joint Motor Vehicle Traffic Supervision Regulation, paragraph 4-2). Using a cell phone while driving, without a hands free device will be considered a "primary offense", meaning that violators are subject to being stopped and ticketed solely for this offense and the individual's traffic history on Offutt AFB being assessed points for the first offense. Repeated offenses on Offutt AFB will result in the loss of on-base driving privileges and could have an adverse affect on your ability to perform your contract.

G. WORK SCHEDULE

See project specifications for working hours. If no working hours are listed, hours will be between the hours of 7:30 A.M. and 5:00 P.M., excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and Federal holidays. If the contractor desires to work during periods other than working hours listed in the contract specifications or listed above if not in the specifications, additional Government inspection forces may be required. The contractor must notify the Contracting Officer (CO) three days in advance of this intention to work during other periods. This allows assignment of additional inspection forces when the CO determines that they are reasonably available. If such force is reasonably available, the CO may authorize the contractor to perform in excess of their normal duty hours/days solely for the benefit of the contractor, and the actual cost of the inspection at overtime rates will be charged to the contractor. These adjustments to the contract price may be made periodically as directed by the

CO.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)

(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(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:

i - Technical Acceptability. The three lowest quotes will be reviewed for technical factors and past performance through FAPIIS. Technical factors and past performance will be on a pass/fail basis. If any of the quotes fail, then the next lowest quote will be submitted for evaluation.

Contractor shall demonstrate:

- Special Qualifications: The Contractor shall be experienced in the installation of Fall Protection Lifeline Systems and their components, and can demonstrate this experience with project documentation of at least five successful installations of horizontal, vertical, or mixed systems. These successful installations can include temporary worksite systems or permanently installed systems.

- Proven Specialty training received from manufacturers or safety centers. Construction, general industry, or maritime fall protection experience/training would be considered appropriate and applicable.

ii - Price, order all proposals by total evaluated price from lowest to highest.

iii - Past Performance. The Government's past performance team will evaluate the past performance by assigning a rating of "acceptable" or "unacceptable". The Government will evaluate all proposals that received an acceptable technical rating for acceptable past performance in accordance with the solicitation. If a technically acceptable offeror receives an unacceptable past performance rating, the Government will revert to paragraph ii and evaluate the next lowest offeror for technical acceptability. This process will continue until the Government has three (3) offerors with acceptable past performance or no offerors remain to evaluate. Past performance determined to be unacceptable will be excluded from competition. Only those proposals with acceptable past performance will receive further consideration for award. Once a proposal is deem acceptable, all past performance proposals are considered equal.

Recency: in order for past performance to be considered recent, performance must be ongoing or must have been performed within the last three (3) years from date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevancy: relevant performance information will be based on; performance involving the service and/or support and complexity as this solicitation requires.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, "unknown" shall be considered "acceptable."

Past Performance will be evaluated by using Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS).

For Non-Governmental contracts, provide contact References in accordance with Addendum to 52.212-1(b)(10) which includes Quality of Service.

Technical and past performance, when combined, are equally important to price.

This solicitation is expected to result in a single award for a firm-fixed priced contract. The proposal will be evaluated for technical acceptability, acceptable past performance, and a fair and reasonable price. Discussions may be required to clarify the requirement and negotiate pricing.
