SOURCE SELECTION SENSITIVE

1.0 PURPOSE

In accordance with the Homeland Security Exercise and Evaluation Program (HSEEP) methodology, this project is for the preparation, design, marketing, administration and facilitation of tabletop exercises (TTX) and training pertaining to security of pipelines, specifically with Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) emphasized.

2.0 BACKGROUND

The nation's transportation system quickly, safely, and securely moves people and goods throughout the country and overseas. One of the modes in the Transportation Systems Sector is the Pipeline Systems, which consists of vast networks of pipeline that traverse hundreds of thousands of miles throughout the country, carrying nearly all of the nation's natural gas and about 65 percent of hazardous liquids, as well as various chemicals. Of which, include approximately 2.2 million miles of natural gas distribution pipelines, about 168,900 miles of hazardous liquid pipelines, and more than 109 liquefied natural gas processing and storage facilities. More than 3,000 pipeline companies operate the nation’s pipeline systems. Executive Order 13416 Strengthening Surface Transportation Security describes surface transportation modes and mandates the Department of Homeland Security to strengthen the security of the Nation's surface transportation systems. Thereby, enhance the protection of the people, property, and territory of the United States of America against terrorist attacks.

Presidential Policy Directive-21 Critical Infrastructure Security and Resilience, establishes national policy on critical infrastructure security and resilience. This endeavor is a shared responsibility among Federal, State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial entities and public and private owners and operators of critical infrastructure. Directive-21 also refines and clarifies the critical infrastructure-related functions, roles, and responsibilities across the Federal Government, as well as enhances overall coordination and collaboration. The Federal Government also has a responsibility to strengthen the security and resilience of its own critical infrastructure, for the continuity of national essential functions and to organize itself to partner effectively with and add value to the security and resilience efforts of critical infrastructure owners and operators. The Department of Justice (DOJ), including the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), shall lead counterterrorism and counterintelligence investigations, to include terrorist, sabotage, and other related law enforcement activities across the Nation’s critical infrastructure sectors.

3.0 SCOPE

In accordance with the WMD Directorate’s mission--pipeline security training and TTXs are part of the multi-layered preparedness strategy to identify and disrupt WMD incidents.

“Data Universal Numbering System+4 (DUNS+4) number” means the DUNS number means the number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

· “Registered in the SAM database” means that—

1. The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 numbers, into the SAM database;

2. The Contractor’s CAGE code is in the SAM database; and

3. The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record “Active”.

The Contractor shall be registered in the SAM database prior to submitting an invoice and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

The SAM registration shall be for the same name and address identified on the contract, with its associated CAGE code and DUNS or DUNS+4.

If indicated by the Government during performance, registration in an alternate system may be required in lieu of SAM.

If the Contractor does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

A contractor may obtain a DUNS number—

· Via the internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the contractor does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name with a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to—

1. Change the name in the SAM database;

2. Comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph above, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.
