Special Contract Requirements Part 1: Technology and Pricing Refresh for Option Period

(a) General

Option Period Refresh: In accordance with FAR 17.204-1 and as contemplated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), this section establishes the process for the Contractor to propose, and for the Government to evaluate, the integration of new or advanced technology and a corresponding new price schedule for the five-year option period.

Intent: This Technology and Pricing Refresh is intended to re-baseline the contract to ensure it reflects current technological and medical standards, providing the best value to the Government.

Cost Recovery: The Contractor's sole mechanism for recovering costs associated with any technology refreshment shall be through the negotiated unit price schedule for the option period. The Government shall not be liable for any direct costs associated with equipment, software, or implementation.

(b) Technology and Pricing Refresh Proposal Requirements for Option Period

Submission Deadline: No later than 180 calendar days prior to the expiration of the base period of performance, the Contractor shall submit a comprehensive Technology and Pricing Refreshment Proposal to the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer's Representative (COR). Failure to submit a complete and timely proposal may jeopardize the Government's ability to evaluate and exercise the option.

Proposal Content: The proposal must be submitted in two separate parts:

(i) The Technical Proposal, which shall provide a detailed description of any proposed new technology, upgraded equipment, or new/revised diagnostic services and explain the benefits to the Government.

(ii) The Price Proposal, which shall consist of a complete, proposed unit price schedule for all contract line items for the full five-year option period. It must be supported with sufficient data for the CO to determine price reasonableness in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.4.

3. Price Limitation: The total evaluated price of the Contractor's proposed unit price schedule for the option period, when combined with any approved Economic Price Adjustments (EPA), shall strictly not exceed the Global five percent (5%) Life-of-Contract Escalation Cap established in Part III of these Special Contract Requirements.

(a) Clause Incorporation

The Economic Price Adjustment clause FAR 52.216-4, Economic Price Adjustment--Labor and Material, is hereby incorporated into this contract by reference.

(b) Application and Frequency

An upward adjustment shall only be applied once, concurrently with the exercise of the five-year option period, subject to the remaining balance of the 5% 10-year ceiling.

(c) Calculation of Adjustment

Adjustments shall be based on the percent change of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Producer Price Index (PPI) for Medical and Diagnostic Laboratories (NAICS 621511). The base for computing the change shall be the index level published for the month the contract was awarded. An adjustment shall only be considered if the cumulative increase in this index from the month of contract award to the month of option evaluation exceeds 20%, demonstrating conditions of extreme market volatility beyond the risks the contractor is expected to assume in its firm-fixed price.

The Government will determine eligibility for an adjustment using the following calculation formula:

((Evaluation Index - Base Index) / Base Index) * 100 = Cumulative Percentage Change

Example: If the Base Index at award is 145.200, and the Evaluation Index at the time of the EPA request is 178.500, the calculation is ((178.500 - 145.200) / 145.200)* 100 = 22.93%. Because 22.93% exceeds the 20% threshold, the EPA request would be eligible for review.

Limitations

3. Breaching the 20% threshold establishes eligibility for an adjustment review; it does not dictate the final adjustment percentage awarded to the contractor.

4. The aggregate of all price adjustments under this EPA clause, when combined with any approved adjustments made under the Technology and Pricing Refresh (TPR) clause, shall strictly not exceed the Global five percent (5%)Life-of-Contract Escalation Cap.

5. No adjustment shall be made for any period where the Contractor has failed to provide a written request, including the required index calculations, to the Contracting Officer at least 90 days before the adjustment is to take effect.

(d) Final Invoice: The Contractor shall include a statement in the final invoice that all price adjustments under this clause have been made, or that no final adjustment is due.

Part III: Global 5% Life-of-Contract Escalation Cap (TPR and EPA)

(a) Single 10-Year Ceiling: Notwithstanding any individual language in the Technical and Pricing Refresh (TPR) clause (Part I) or the Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) clause (Part II), there is a single, hard ceiling for all price increases overt he entire 10-year life of this contract. The absolute maximum cumulative increase to the contract, resulting from the combined application of both the TPR and EPA clauses over the full 120-month period (Base plus Option), shall not exceed five percent (5%) of the initial total awarded contract value.

(b) No Compounding Per Period: This is not a 5% allowance for the base period and an additional 5% allowance for the option period. It is a single, cumulative 5% maximum for the entire 10-year contract lifecycle.

(c) Timing of Adjustments:

1.

2.

TPR (Part I): Technology and Pricing Refreshes may be proposed and incorporated at any time, subject to Government approval and the remaining balance of the 5% 10-year ceiling.

EPA (Part II): Economic Price Adjustments shall only be applied once, concurrently with the exercise of the five-year option period, subject to the remaining balance of the 5% 10-year ceiling.

(d) Limitation: Once the cumulative pricing modifications executed under the TPR and/or the EPA reach this 5% life-of-contract ceiling, the Government will not authorize any further upward price adjustments for the remainder of the contract's performance.

Part IV: Decentralized Ordering and Administration

(a) Independent Ordering Authority: In accordance with FAR 16.505, decentralized Ordering Contracting Officers (OCOs), duly appointed Contract Ordering Official Cardholders (COOCs), and Government Purchase Card (GPC) holders possess the independent authority to place task orders and calls directly against this master IDIQ contract. Prior coordination or scope approval from the Program Manager, Requirement Owner, or the Master IDIQ Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) is not required, unless the ordering activity determines there is or may be a misalignment of scope with the master contract.

(b) Ceiling Tracking and Reporting: To ensure the overarching IDIQ ceiling is not exceeded, the sole administrative requirement placed upon Ordering COs, COOC, and GPC holders is that they must submit a copy of any awarded task order(or a summary report detailing the obligated amount per CLIN) to the Master IDIQ PCO within 5 business days of task order execution. This reporting ensures accurate tracking against the master IDIQ ceiling.

(c) Government Purchase Card (GPC) / Contract Ordering Official Card(COOC): Authorized cardholders may place decentralized, ad-hoc, or emergency orders directly against this IDIQ, provided the total order value does not exceed their authorized threshold. There is no geographic or facility-based restriction on where a COOC holder may operate, provided they possess the appropriate warrant/delegation of authority.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-4

(c) 52.212-4(c) is changed to read as follows:

Changes in the terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties. However, any administrative changes such as change of the finance office, typographical or grammatical errors, and the exercise of contract option periods, may be changed unilaterally by the Government provided that such exercise is in accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract.

(u) See FAR Clause 52.228-5. Before commencing work under a contract, the contractor shall certify to the Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance has been obtained by the contractor and their subcontractors. The following insurance as referenced in FAR 28.306(b)(1) and FAR 28.307, is the minimum insurance required:

-Bodily injury liability insurance coverage written on the comprehensive form of policy of at General Liability- least $500,000 per occurrence.

-Automobile liability insurance written on the comprehensive form of policy. The policy Automobile Liability- shall provide for bodily injury and property damage liability covering the operation of all automobiles used in connection with performing the contract. Policies covering automobiles operated in the United States shall provide coverage of at least $200,000 per person and $500,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and $20,000 per occurrence for property damage. The amount of liability coverage on other policies shall be commensurate with any legal requirements of the locality and sufficient to meet normal and customary claims.

-Contractors are required to comply with applicable Federal Workers' Compensation and Employer's Liability- and State worker' compensation and occupational disease statutes. If occupational diseases are not compensable under those statutes, they shall be covered under the employer's liability section of the insurance policy, except where contract operations are so commingled with a contractor's commercial operations that it would not be practical to require this coverage.

Employer's liability coverage of at least $100,000 shall be required, except in States with exclusive or monopolistic funds that do not permit worker's compensation to be written by private carriers.

The non-FAR Part 12 discretionary FAR, DFARS, and LOCAL clauses included herein are incorporated into this contract either by reference or in full text. If incorporated by reference, see clause 52.252-2 herein for locations where full text can be found.

(b) By submission of this offer, the offeror represents, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that all covered DoD officials employed by or otherwise receiving compensation from the offeror, and who are expected to undertake activities on behalf of the offeror for any resulting contract, are presently in compliance with all post-employment restrictions covered by 18 U.S.C. 207, 41 U.S.C. 2101-2107, and 5 CFR parts 2637 and 2641, including Federal Acquisition Regulation 3.104-2.

(End of provision)

L.[X].3 Use of Former DoD/Defense Health Agency (DHA) Employees and Uniformed Service Members in Proposal Preparation.

The involvement of a former DoD/DHA employee/member in an offeror's proposal preparation may give rise to an unfair competitive advantage or the appearance thereof, if the former DoD/DHA employee/ member acquired non public, competitively-useful information in his or her former position. Such knowledge could include proprietary information of competitor's performance on past or current contracts with similar requirements or source selection sensitive information pertaining to this procurement. Consequently, the Offeror must notify the Contracting Officer prior to the involvement in the proposal preparation by a former DoD/ DHA employee/member reasonably expected to have had access to such information. Based on the notification, the Contracting Officer will make a determination whether involvement of the former DoD/DHA employee/member in proposal preparation could create an unfair competitive advantage or appearance thereof. The Contracting Officer will further determine whether any mitigation measures taken or proposed by the offeror are adequate to alleviate this concern or whether the offeror will be disqualified from the competition. Failure to comply with these procedures may result in the offeror's disqualification for award.
