(b) The Department will order a minimum amount of $25,000 from each Contractor who is awarded a contract as a result of this solicitation. The Department will have the entire term of the contract (to include all options) to fulfill the contract minimum.

The specific Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) and quantities will be identified in the task orders issued under this contract. The exercise of the renewal options (see Section F.4.1) does not re-establish the contract minimum. During the life of this contract, the Department may order items in any quantity up to the maximum amount specified in paragraph (c) below. If the minimum amount has not been ordered then the Department will exercise the option for the next year.

(c) There are no maximum quantities or amounts for each individual CLIN, task order, or contract period. The maximum aggregate amount of all task orders issued under all the Asset Forfeiture Investigative Support Services (AFISS) shall not exceed $625,000,000.00 for the entire term of the contracts, including all options which may be exercised.

B.3 Pricing Table

B.3.1 General

All contract unit prices and estimated Travel and Other Incurred Expenses shall be as specified in the pricing table contained in Section B.3.2. The basic contract line item number (CLIN) structure includes a one-digit prefix and a four-digit core number. The first digit of each CLIN represents the contract period, i.e., for the Base Period, the first digit for all CLINs is "0", for Option Period 1, the first digit for all CLINs is "1", etc. The remaining three digits are reserved as the “unique identifier”. The pricing table contains fixed unit prices of hourly rates for labor and estimated Other Incurred Expenses and Travel as defined below.

(a) Hourly Rate. All hourly rates are considered fixed unit prices that shall include all expenses and profits. Expenses include, but are not limited to: salaries/wages, fringe benefits, equipment usage, computer resources (defined as “in-house” computer resources which are utilized by the Contractor at its site in the performance of work comparable to that required under this contract, including personal computers for Contractor staff), facilities, overhead, and general and administrative expenses. The Contractor can discount its unit prices for any task order. Discounted prices will be specified in the task order and will only apply to that task order.

(b) Other Incurred Expenses. Other Direct Costs (ODC) are classes or categories of supplies and services which are not in-cluded in the unit prices for labor, but are required to complete a given task order that is issued on a time-and-materials basis or to price a task order on a fixed-price basis. The Government anticipates the only ODC will be travel; however, in the event there are oth-er reasonable and necessary ODCs, they shall only be allowable with the prior consent of the COR/ACOR/GPM and authorized through a task order. All ODCs will be billed at cost. No administrative handling charge is allowed.

(c) Travel. As a general rule, local travel will not be reimbursed under this contract. Examples of local travel which will not be subject to reimbursement are: travel to and from normal job site; supervisory personnel traveling to a Government site or alternat-ive facility to oversee operations. Personnel temporarily working at a Government site or alternative facility will consider such facil-ity his/her normal job site. All reimbursable long distance travel shall be approved in advance by the Contracting Officer’s Repres-entative (COR). As a general rule, salary is not reimbursable unless travel occurs during normal business hours. Reimbursement for actual (approved) travel costs incurred during the performance of support services shall be in accordance with Part 31 of the Federal

DJJ-14-JAFMS-R-0002 Page 7 of 70

Acquisition Regulations. Travel requirements under this contract shall be met using the most economical form of transportation avail-able. If economy class transportation is not available, the Contractor must submit (to the COR) a request for advance approval to util-ize higher class travel.

All travel should be scheduled sufficiently in advance to be able to take advantage of offered discount rates. Individual ‘travel author-ization letters’ may be provided to the Contractor (for all Contractor personnel who are required to travel) which may allow Contractor personnel to receive Government rates when on long distance travel. The Department encourages advance airfare purchases to take advantage of supersaver discounts. If the trip is canceled or travel dates are changed due to the Government’s actions, the Govern-ment will, absent special circumstances, pay airline cancellation charges or airline charges for changes in the travel dates.

C.1 Introduction

C.1 INTRODUCTION

a. The Department of Justice (DOJ) Asset Forfeiture Program (AFP) is a nationwide law enforcement program that operates as an ef-fective and powerful weapon in the fight against crime. The principal mission of the Program is to ensure that the forfeiture of crimin-als’ assets remains an effective deterrent to crime. Federal employees, contract personnel, and state and local law enforcement offi-cials work cooperatively in investigating and prosecuting cases involving asset seizure and forfeiture to support the Program’s mis-sion. The primary objectives of the Program, as set forth in The Attorney General’s Guidelines for Seized and Forfeited Property (July 1990), are as follows:

(1) to punish and deter criminal activity by depriving criminals of property used or acquired through illegal activities;

(2) to enhance collaboration among foreign, federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies through the equitable sharing of as-sets recovered under the program; and,

(3) to produce revenues (as a by-product of the first two objectives) in order to enhance forfeitures and strengthen law enforce-ment.

b. The primary mission of the Government’s AFP is to employ asset forfeiture powers in a manner that enhances public safety and se-curity. This is accomplished by removing the proceeds of crime and other assets relied upon by criminals and their associates to per-petuate their criminal activity against our society. Asset forfeiture has the power to disrupt or dismantle criminal organizations that would continue to function if the Government only convicted and incarcerated specific individuals.

c. The Asset Forfeiture Management Staff (AFMS) has responsibility for the administrative management functions of the AFP in the Department of Justice including management of the Department’s Assets Forfeiture Fund (AFF); interpretation of the AFF statute;

management and operation of the consolidated asset Forfeiture Systems; management of both internal and external budget processes regarding AFF monies; managing investment of AFF and Seized Assets Deposit Fund (SADF) surplus balances; development, admin-istration and oversight of AFP-wide contracts; review, audit, and evaluation of AFP activities; identification of program weaknesses;

development, monitoring, and review of appropriate internal controls; and analysis of legislative, policy, and regulatory proposals that may affect the execution of the AFP.

d. The AFMS provides asset management and financial oversight to the AFP, in support of eight DOJ components (Criminal Divi-sion, Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives; Drug Enforcement Administration; Federal Bureau of Investigation; Interpol; Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces; U.S. Marshals Service;

and U.S. Attorneys) and five non-DOJ agencies (U.S. Department of Agriculture; U.S. Food and Drug Administration; U.S. Postal In-spection Service; U.S. Department of State; and Defense Criminal Investigation Service).

e. The Treasury Executive Office for Asset Forfeiture (TEOAF) has the responsibility for administering the Treasury Forfeiture Fund (TFF). The TFF is the receipt account for seizures and forfeitures made by the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP); U.S. Im-migration and Customs Enforcement (ICE); U.S. Secret Service; and Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. Other mem-bers of the TFF include the U.S. Coast Guard; Federal Law Enforcement Training Center (FLETC); Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN); and the Treasury Department’s Office of Terrorism and Financial Intelligence. Forfeiture revenue augments TEOAF’s budget authority for meeting expenses of running the forfeiture programs of the Treasury and DHS law enforcement agen-cies.

f. TEOAF is responsible for the administration of the Treasury Asset Forfeiture Program. This includes interpretation of the TFF’s en-abling legislation; implementing all policy decisions by the Assistant Secretary and Deputy Assistant Secretary in connection with seized and forfeited assets; planning and development of TFF budgets; monitoring TFF investments to participating law enforcement agencies; development, administration and oversight of asset forfeiture program-wide contracts; review, audit, and evaluation of asset forfeiture program activities; identification of program weaknesses and development, monitoring, and review of appropriate internal controls; and analysis of legislative, policy, and regulatory proposals that may affect the execution of the Treasury Asset Forfeiture Program.

C.2 BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE

DJJ-14-JAFMS-R-0002 Page 9 of 70

a. Section 524(c) of Title 28 of the United States Code makes the Department of Justice (DOJ) Assets Forfeiture Fund available for purposes of contracting for services related to the seizure and forfeiture of property. DOJ has two contract vehicles that provide ad-ministrative and professional services to the support of AFP. The administrative support component is to provide the DOJ AFP with ongoing, repetitive administrative support services involving document analysis and review, technical legal support, data entry, and clerical support. A single contract was awarded to support these administrative services. The professional services component in-volves investigative, analytical, and technical support. 4 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts were awarded to four vendors to provide that support. These contracts are called the Professional Assistance Contracts (PACS); they share the state-ment of work and will expire September 30, 2014.

b. The Treasury Forfeiture Fund (31 U.S.C. § 9703) defines those purposes for which Treasury forfeiture revenue may be used, and one such purpose is the contracting for services related to the seizure and forfeiture of property.

In 2011, the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) required the Federal Government, in its procurement activity, to leverage its buying power to the maximum extent as well as achieve administrative efficiencies and cost savings. Additionally, in September 2012, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report ‘Justice and Treasury Should Determine Costs and Benefits of Po-tential Consolidation’ (GAO-12-972) recommending that the Attorney General and the Secretary of the Treasury ‘conduct a study to determine the feasibility of consolidating asset management activities, including but not limited to, the use of asset tracking systems and the sharing of vendor and contract resources’ (p. 25).

c. This new Asset Forfeiture Investigative Support Services (AFISS) contract seeks to incorporate these recommendations by narrow-ing the scope to focus solely on investigative support that will become available to both the Justice and Treasury Asset Forfeiture Pro-grams. Some of the other professional services, formally covered in the PACS contracts (e.g., management, evaluation, and control of the AFF), are available through other more cost-effective contract vehicles.

C.3 PURPOSE

a. DOJ intends to enter into contracts with one or more firms to provide these professional investigative, legal, analytical, and technic-al support services to AFP management and to provide specific case-related professional support to the field components of the federal Government AFPs. The nature of the services required, especially those which are case-related, is such that services must be ongoing or performed within stringent time constraints. Since the AFPs operate nation-wide, projects may take place anywhere within the United States. It should be noted that judicial action may obviate the need for performance of some or all of the services on a particu-lar order. Therefore there is no guarantee the estimated quantities/amounts on any given task order will accurately reflect the quantit-ies/amounts actually required for performance of the services or that conditions affecting performance will be stable.

C.4 SCOPE OF WORK

C.4.1. General

The contractor shall be responsible for planning, scheduling, and procuring all items/services required by the task order. This shall in-clude, but is not limited to:

(a) Furnishing all necessary qualified personnel, facilities, and materials in order to provide investigative, analytical, tech-nical and other related services to the AFP and to other Asset Forfeiture Management Staff approved requirements in accordance with this Statement of Work, as described below.

(b) Screening employees and processing requests for DOJ security clearances for contractor personnel and ensuring that contractor facilities utilized meet the physical security requirements of the contract.

(c) Planning, scheduling and procuring airfare, lodging accommodations, and ground transportation for all approved travel by contractor personnel; ensuring that invoiced travel costs are itemized in accordance with the Federal Travel Regulations currently in effect.

(d) Planning for and making all necessary arrangements to ensure that Contractor personnel performing field work have all necessary supplies and equipment in advance of or at the time of their arrival on-site.

(e) Providing, throughout the term of this contract and at no cost to the Government, adequate and proper training of all personnel performing work under this contract. In addition to requisite job/professional training, the contractor shall educate its em-ployees on "contract-specific" issues such as the DOJ AFP, DOJ ethics, conflict and confidentiality requirements, DOJ security re-quirements, understanding the litigation process - civil and criminal - and terminology, and understanding the importance of the qual-ity/performance standards. In addition, contractor managers shall be educated in the terms and conditions of the contract.

C.4.2 Range of Work

DJJ-14-JAFMS-R-0002 Page 10 of 70

Although the required tasks are generically the same for all participating components, the individual mission of each component in the AFP does affect the emphasis and procedures of the tasks. The following is a summary of Justice Fund forfeiture component mis-sions.

* Non-Asset Forfeiture Assistance/Support

Other Offices, Boards and Divisions within the Department of Justice and other Federal agencies may utilize this con-tract if the specialized services available meet their program requirements, thereby mitigating the need for their own separate duplicat-ive procurement. This support may be provided to any organization approved by the Asset Forfeiture Management Staff. DOJ may charge other agencies an administrative fee to cover costs of using this contract. Note that task orders placed under this contract may not be related to asset forfeiture.

* Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Enforces the federal laws and regulations relating to alcohol, tobacco, firearms, explosives, and arson by working dir-ectly and in cooperation with other federal, state, and local law enforcement agencies. ATF has the authority to seize and forfeit fire-arms, ammunition, explosives, alcohol, tobacco, currency, conveyances, and certain real property involved in violation of law. In addi-tion, ATF acts as the primary custodial agency for seized weapons, ammunition, and explosives.

* Drug Enforcement Administration Enforces the controlled substances laws and regulations of the United States and recommends and supports non-enforcement programs aimed at reducing the availability of illicit controlled substances on the domestic and international markets.

DEA has responsibility for investigations, seizures, and administrative forfeiture processing as well as secondary responsibility for property management and disposition. The various field offices support the AFP; however, many support activities are consolidated in the Office of Chief Counsel.

* Federal Bureau of Investigation Investigates a broad range of criminal violations, integrating the use of asset forfeiture into its overall strategy to elim-inate targeted criminal enterprises. The FBI has successfully used asset forfeiture in White Collar Crime, Organized Crime, Drug, Vi-olent Crime, and Terrorism investigations. The FBI has responsibility for investigations, seizures, and administrative forfeiture pro-cessing as well as secondary responsibility for property management and disposition. All field offices support the AFP. Forfeiture Asset Seizure Teams have been formed in many offices to provide dedicated teams of agents and support personnel.

* U.S. Attorney's Offices The USAOs are responsible for the prosecution of both criminal and civil actions against property used or acquired dur-ing illegal activity. Each of the 94 offices may handle civil and criminal forfeiture cases.

* U.S. Marshals Service USMS is the primary custodian of seized property for the AFP. USMS manages and disposes of the majority of the property seized for forfeiture.

* Asset Forfeiture and Money Laundering Section, Criminal Division AFMLS holds the responsibility for coordination, direction, and general oversight of the Program. AFMLS handles civil and criminal litigation, provides legal support to the U.S. Attorneys' Offices, establishes policy and procedure, coordinates multi-district asset seizures, administers equitable sharing of assets, acts on petitions for remission, coordinates international forfeiture and sharing, and develops training seminars for all levels of Government.

* Organized Crime Drug Enforcement Task Forces The mission of OCDETF is to combine the resources and expertise of its member federal agencies as well as state and local law enforcement to identify, disrupt, and dismantle the most serious drug trafficking and money laundering organizations and those primarily responsible for the nation's drug supply. OCDETF was established more than twenty-five years ago to mount compre-hensive, multi-level attacks on major drug-trafficking and money laundering organizations.

* INTERPOL

INTERPOL Washington AFP supports and facilitates the use of all available asset forfeiture sanctions to disrupt, dis-mantle, and defeat transnational criminals and criminal enterprises. Its mission is to coordinate and facilitate asset forfeiture investiga-tions between members of the DOJ AFP and law enforcement authorities in the other 189 member countries of INTERPOL.

Non-DOJ Asset Forfeiture Components may require support by the range of services covered by resulting contract/s.

The magnitude and emphasis of each action will vary among the components. This support may be provided to any organization ap-proved by the Asset Forfeiture Management Staff. There are several organizations outside the Department of Justice who participate in the DOJ AFP. This list may change as additional agencies and offices become part of the DOJ program. Agencies currently parti-cipating are as follows:

* United States Postal Inspection Service USPIS makes seizures under its authority to discourage profit-motivated crimes such as mail fraud, money laundering, DJJ-14-JAFMS-R-0002 Page 11 of 70 and drug trafficking using the mail.

* Food and Drug Administration FDA's Office of Criminal Investigations makes seizures involving health care fraud schemes, counterfeit pharmaceutic-als, illegal distribution of adulterated foods, and product tampering.

* United States Department of Agriculture, Office of the Inspector General The mission of USDA’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) is to promote the effectiveness and integrity in the delivery of USDA agricultural programs. Forfeiture is an important law enforcement tool in combating criminal activity affecting USDA pro-grams.

* Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security The Bureau of Diplomatic Security investigates passport and visa fraud and integrates asset forfeiture into its strategy to target the profits made by vendors who provide fraudulent documentation or those who utilize fraudulent visas and/or passports to further their criminal enterprises

* Defense Criminal Investigative Service The Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) is the criminal investigative arm of the Department of Defense’s Inspector Gener-

al. The mission of DCIS is to protect America's war fighters by conducting investigations and forfeitures in support of crucial Nation-al Defense priorities that include homeland security/terrorism, product substitution, contract fraud, public corruption, computer crime, and illegal technology transfers.

In addition to those components listed above, the following components support the asset forfeiture programs of the Treasury Fund:

* Homeland Security Investigations – Department of Homeland Security The ICE Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) is responsible for investigating a wide range of domestic and international activities arising from the illegal movement of people and goods into, within, and out of the United States. HSI investigates immigration crime, human rights violations and human smuggling, smuggling of narcotics, weapons and other types of contraband, financial crimes, cy-bercrime, and export enforcement issues.

* Customs and Border Protection – Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection’s priority mission is keeping terrorists and their weapons out of the U.S. It also has a responsibility for securing the border and facilitating lawful international trade and travel while enforcing hundreds of U.S. laws and regulations, including immigration and drug laws.

* U.S. Secret Service – Department of Homeland Security The United States Secret Service has a dual mission that includes investigations and protection. To further its ability to protect the in-tegrity of the nation’s financial system, the USSS has jurisdiction for domestic investigations involving the counterfeiting of U.S. and foreign obligations and securities. This authority includes the investigation of financial institution fraud, access device fraud, computer crimes, fraudulent Government and commercial securities, fictitious financial instruments, telecommunications fraud, false identifica-tion, and identity theft.

* U.S. Coast Guard USCG is the lead federal agency for maritime drug interdiction and shares lead responsibility for air interdiction with

CBP.

* Internal Revenue Service – Criminal Investigation Internal Revenue Service - Criminal Investigation (IRS-CI) investigates potential criminal violations of the Internal

Revenue Code and related financial crimes in a manner that fosters confidence in the tax system and compliance with the law. Proving that a taxpayer willfully attempted to hide income from the Federal Government is an integral part of IRS-CI’s ability to demonstrate other criminal activity including fraud, money laundering or Bank Secrecy Act violations.
