1.2 This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in Subpart 12.6, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; proposals are being requested and a written solicitation will not be issued.

1.3 DU208WR-13-R-0005 is issued as a request for proposal (RFP) on June 4, 2013. The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-66 (April 1, 2013).

1.5 PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE: The period of performance is a basic period of 12 months with four 12-month option periods. This is a fixed unit price contract with reimbursable items. The Performance Work Statement (PWS) is in Attachment A. HUD intends to award one contract for National Loan Servicing Support Services from this solicitation.

1.6.1 TRANSITION COSTS

CLIN 008 - The contractor will be paid a firm fixed price for all requirements of Attachment A, paragraph 6, paragraph 9.4 and paragraph 13.2 for Transition costs. Though submitting as a single firm fixed price, this line item will be paid in two installments. The Contractor shall invoice for the first half of the installment of the Transition Price when the requirements of the first phase of the Transition Period have been completed as described in Attachment A, paragraph 6.2.1. The Contractor is entitled to bill the second installment of the Transition Price when the requirements of Attachment A, paragraph 6.2.2 have been completed. Regardless of how long the transition actually takes, the contractor shall not be entitled to any servicing fees until the GTR certifies that transition is complete.

CLINs 108, 208, 308 and 408 – Phase out transition costs shall include one time expenses to transition the contract to the new contractor. These include the additional temporary labor, supplies, and other approved one time costs. CLINs 108, 208, and 308 are not anticipated to be used unless the government does not unilaterally exercise the following option period. The cost for transition phase out will be negotiated during the option period the transition will occur in.

1.6.2 CLIN 001 – 005 FIXED MONTHLY SERVICE PRICE (and corresponding CLINS for each option period)

The Contractor shall be paid a fixed Monthly Service Price after the first full month of servicing capacity following transition for all requirements not elsewhere specified based on the beginning monthly inventory of active loans including new loans added. The Contractor shall be entitled to compensation under these CLINs after completion of Transition as evidenced by written acceptance by the Government Technical Representative (GTR) and the Contracting Officer (CO). In the month following acceptance of the service by the GTR, the Contractor may begin to invoice the Monthly Service Price in accordance with the requirements of paragraph 5.3.8, Payment Schedule and Invoice Submission. The service price for the first month shall be prorated to include any days from the date of HUD’s written acceptance through the end of that month.

The monthly service price shall be compensation for all requirements not elsewhere specified including all labor and other costs related to servicing all loans in the portfolio, updating the service to accommodate policy, legislative or regulatory changes; adapting to changes in HUD system or system configurations; and adding or deleting external interfaces as required to service all loans in the portfolio and relating to any of the task in this PWS.

Minor modifications, updates, and or enhancements to SMART, ECLASS, and EVARS will be on-going and should be considered in the pricing of the fixed unit price for the monthly services.

The contractor will be entitled to compensation under this CLIN for the work accomplished in the month billed in accordance with paragraph 5.3.8, Payment Schedule and Invoice Submission, and accepted by the GTR.

The Government may require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract.

The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to an extension.

(b) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option clause.

(c) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause, shall not exceed the period of time set in the Schedule except that extensions pursuant to FAR 52.217-8 permit the duration to extend up to 6 months beyond the stated limit.

Contract records may be located or stored on the contractor's premises or at off-site locations.

Electronically stored information (ESI) means any contract records that are stored on, or generated by, an electronic device, or contained in electronically accessible media, either owned by the contractor, subcontractor(s), or employees of the contractor or subcontractor(s) regardless of the physical location of the device or media (e.g., offsite servers or data storage).

(b) If during the period of performance of this contract, HUD becomes, or anticipates becoming, a party to any litigation concerning matters related to records maintained or generated by the Contractor in the performance of this contract, the Contracting Officer may provide the contractor with a written (either hardcopy or email) preservation hold notice and certification of compliance with the preservation hold notice. Upon receipt of the hold notice, the Contractor shall immediately take the following actions--

(1) Discontinue any alteration, overwriting, deletion, or destruction of all tangible materials and ESI.

(2) Preserve tangible materials and ESI. The contractor shall preserve ESI in its "native" form to preserve metadata (i.e., creation and modification history of a document).

The contractor shall immediately confirm receipt of such request. The contractor shall describe in detail any records that the contractor knows or believes to be unavailable and provide a detailed explanation of why they are unavailable, and if known, their location.

(c)(1) If any request for records pursuant to paragraph (b)(6) of this clause causes an increase in the estimated cost or price or the time required for performance of any part of the work under this contract, or otherwise affects any other terms and conditions of this contract, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify the contract.

(2) The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within ___ [Contracting Officer insert period; 30 days if no other period inserted] from the date of receipt of the Contracting Officer's request made pursuant to paragraph (b)(6) of this clause. However, if the Contracting Officer decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a request submitted before final payment of the contract.

(3) Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the "Disputes" clause of this contract. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the contractor from providing the records requested by the Contracting Officer.
