28 September 2021

1. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

1.1 This project consists of all labor, materials, and supplies to acquire, deliver, and install security systems along the perimeter of the International Zone (IZ), also known as the Green Zone in Baghdad, Iraq. See Attachment A for project site location. The security systems include hydraulic road-blockers with a control system, steel gates and road spikes at existing entry control points. Incidental to the equipment to be installed are generator sets to be acquired, deliver, and install at each security system location. Quantities, locations, and technical requirements of the security systems are as described in the following technical requirements and Attachments A and B.

1.2 The majority of materials to be procured for this contract action are anticipated to be provided or manufactured from U.S. However, as this action is funded by Foreign Military Financing, no parts or material shall be procured from prohibited sources, including but not limited to China, North Korea, and Republic of Cuba, as identified by Foreign Assistance Act (Sections a, e, f, and q). This requirement shall comply with the U.S. regulations as stated in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses 252.225-7000, 252.225- 7001, and 252.225-7002.

1.3 Variations to the equipment and materials specified below are possible providing that the contractor demonstrates, via technical data, catalogue cuts, etc. that it is equivalent to the specified system and the requirements listed below, and the Contracting Officer approves. No variation will be accepted without these actions.

1.4 In accordance with Section 42(c) of the Arms Export Control Act, as amended (22 USC §2791(c)), the Foreign Military Financing funds made available for this procurement may not be used to award to other than a United States firm, unless an Offshore Procurement (OSP) determination is made by the Director, Defense Security Cooperation Agency. No OSP determination has been obtained for this procurement. Offers from other than United States firms are ineligible for award. Accordingly, per DoD 5105.38-M, Chapter 9, Table C9.T8, more than 50% of the dollar value of the FMF contract [or CLIN, when there are multiple FMF cases on a single contract], after subtracting from the total costs the cost of items that the FAR or DFARS exclude from Buy American Act or Balance of Payments Program consideration, must be of U.S.

origin. The contractor may not exceed this foreign content percentage during contract performance, unless the Government obtains an OSP determination. If it is determined that the Contractor has used unauthorized content, payments to the Contractor may be reduced by the value of the unauthorized content, or at the Government’s option, the Contractor may be required to remove the unauthorized content at its expense and replace it with authorized content. The

Government will require the contractor to periodically provide it with information concerning the foreign content utilized in performing the contract, to allow the Government to ensure compliance with these OSP foreign content rules. The Government reserves the right, however, to seek an OSP determination at any stage in the procurement, if doing so is in the Government’s best interests.

1.5 This contract will include basic and optional contract line items. See bid schedule for the breakdown of basic and optional contract line items. The Government is not obligated to award all or any portions of the optional contract items.
