About this file
This document is the Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Contractors for a Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI) solicitation for Public Accountant Contract Audit (PACA) Special Audits. The NAFI intends to award up to three Nonappropriated Fund Purchasing Agreements (NPAs) to responsible offerors whose conforming quotes are determined to be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Following NPA award, the NAFI reserves the right to issue individual Delivery Orders for specific audit engagements to any successful prime contractor based on best-value determination, considering contractor availability, specialized experience, and overall benefit to the NAFI. This multiple-award strategy ensures a robust pool of qualified CPA firms to perform specialized audits on an as-needed basis, with flexibility to rotate tasking among awardees.
Offerors must submit quotes in four distinct volumes as separate files: Volume I containing signed SF1449 and completed representations and certifications; Volume II containing a comprehensive technical proposal detailing approach to Statement of Objectives including management approach, quality control procedures, and staffing plan, plus an explicit declaration of willingness to perform audits at overseas locations (stating either Unrestricted, CONUS Only, or Specific Exclusions); Volume III containing completed pricing schedules for all Contract Line Item Numbers across the base year and four option years; and Volume IV containing narratives for at least three recent and relevant projects performed within the last three years. A critical requirement prohibits subcontracting, teaming agreements, joint ventures, and use of 1099 independent contractors; all proposed personnel must be direct W-2 employees of the prime offeror, with any quote proposing subcontractors deemed technically unacceptable.

ATTACHMENT 01: INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO
CONTRACTORS
PROGRAM: PUBLIC ACCOUNTANT CONTRACT AUDIT (PACA) – SPECIAL AUDITS
DATE: 03 November 2026
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1 Intent of Solicitation
The Nonappropriated Fund Instrumentality (NAFI) intends to award up to three (3) Nonappropriated Fund Purchasing Agreements (NPAs) from this solicitation to the responsible offerors whose quotes, conforming to the solicitation, are determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA). This multiple-award strategy is designed to ensure a robust pool of qualified CPA firms to perform specialized audits on an as-needed basis.
1.2 Award of Delivery Orders
Following the award of the master NPAs, the NAFI reserves the right to issue individual Delivery Orders (DOs) for specific audit engagements to any of the successful prime contractors. The selection for DOs will be based on a best-value determination for each specific requirement, considering factors such as the contractor’s availability, specialized experience relevant to the DO, and overall benefit to the NAFI. This provides the Government with the flexibility to rotate tasking among the pool of awardees.
2.0 QUOTE SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Proposal Structure
Offerors must submit their quotes in four (4) distinct volumes as separate files:
Volume Title & Description
VOLUME I Contract Documentation: Signed SF1449, completed representations and certifications, and acknowledgments of all attachments.

PACA – Special Audits
This declaration will be used for DO placement and will not remove an offeror from consideration for the initial NPA award.
3.0 SPECIAL PROVISIONS
3.1 Subcontracting Prohibition
Subcontracting, teaming agreements, joint ventures, and the use of 1099 independent contractors are strictly prohibited. All proposed personnel must be direct, W-2 employees of the prime offeror. Any quote proposing the use of subcontractors will be deemed technically unacceptable.
3.2 LPTA Evaluation with Best Value Tasking
The Government will award the initial NPAs to the offerors who are technically acceptable and have the lowest total evaluated price.
