Section H - Special Contract Requirements H-1

CONTRACT PRICE ADJUSTMENTS

Workload estimates may be identified in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) or PWS. Because of the nature of these services and when cost-type TOs are selected, deviations to the individual CDRL and total workload estimates that are customary in this environment will not be the basis for a contract price adjustment IAW FAR 16.306, CPFF Contracts.

H-2

FEE

While the contract will be initially awarded entirely with Operation and Maintenance (O&M) funds, the addition of requirements with Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation (RDT&E) funds is possible. Consistent with FAR 15.404-4(c)(4)(i), the fee limitation on O&M funded services is 10%; and the fee limitation on RDT&E funded services is 15%.

H-3

LIMITATIONS ON SUBCONTRACTING

To assist the CO in determining compliance with FAR 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting, the contractor shall submit documentation supporting the following as of each year: (a) the cumulative cost of contract performance incurred for all personnel as of the closeout date, (b) the cumulative cost of contract performance incurred for personnel of the prime contractor (or small business joint venture) as of the closeout date, and (c) a narrative explaining how the contractor intends to meet the clause requirements over the life of the contract if the contractor is not meeting the limitations as of the closeout date. Submissions are due to the CO not later than 30 calendar days after the closeout date. The closeout date for the first submission is . Awardees failing to meet requirements of FAR 52.219-14 prior to contract end may be subject to contract termination for material failure to meet contract terms and conditions.

H-4

TASK ORDER PROPOSAL AND SELECTION PROCEDURES

A. Task order proposals and awards shall comply with FAR 16.505, Ordering. Task orders shall be awarded as FFP or CPFF as determined by the Contracting Officer and IAW FAR 52.216-18, Ordering. The contractor shall propose in accordance with the TO type specified in the Task Order Request for Proposal (TO-RFP). The contractor shall perform in accordance with the TO type selected by the CO indicated in the award document or other authorized award notification.

B. When the Government has a requirement for work to be performed, the CO will notify contractors of: (1) the work to be performed, (2) the desired performance period and (3) any other information considered to be of assistance to the contractor in preparing a proposal. The contractor will transmit the written TO proposal by any means including mail, E-Mail, facsimile or Internet. However, the standard method of transmission will be E-Mail or the Internet.

C. The TO-RFP shall not obligate the Government to issue TOs under this contract nor shall it authorize the contractor to perform any work pursuant to such requests for proposal prior to the contractor’s receipt of a TO award.

D. Competition is a major focus of this contract; accordingly, awardees will be highly encouraged to submit a proposal for every TO-RFP presented to them. In the event a contractor chooses not to provide a proposal, the contractor shall submit a “no bid” statement to the Ordering CO with a brief explanation. However, the Ordering CO retains the right to mandate TO proposal submissions from all offerors. Additionally, if the Ordering CO discerns a trend by offerors to submit “no bids,” the contractor’s past performance in consideration of further TO awards under this contract will be affected and will also be negatively reflected in the Business Relations section of the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation, unless the CO determines extenuating circumstances exist.

E. Task order proposals shall consist of a technical section and a cost/price proposal. Evaluation criteria will be tailored to each task order. Requirements for a past performance section for FTTs or PPTs shall be stated in the TO-RFP. Proposal page limitations shall be specified in each individual TO-RFP.

1. The technical proposal shall identify the contractor’s proposed approach to the specific task. Evaluation criteria will be identified in the TO-RFP. The contractor’s proposal should address the number(s) of personnel performing each task, number of hours each individual will work, and an explanation of why each is necessary to perform the TO; rationale for personnel, skill levels, and number of hours proposed; and an overall discussion of the contractor’s proposed technical solution. Any government property, material or data required for performance must be identified in the response to the TO-RFP.

2. If a past performance section is required, it should provide relevant past performance references in performing the same or similar work. Clearly explain how the past performance provided is relevant to the performance of the requirement and include enough information for the Government to verify its accuracy. Do not include a quality rating; that will be determined by the Government. The past performance evaluation for each TO will consider each contractor’s original past performance data from the basic contract evaluation as well as any current relevant data. As work proceeds under this contract, it is probable that the past performance data submitted with the original contract proposal will be accorded less weight than more recent past performance reports received on TOs performed under this contract.

3. For a CPFF TO, contractors will be required to prepare proposals citing a proposed estimated cost broken out for labor. Proposals shall identify labor categories, number of hours, proposed labor rates for each category and the fixed fee. If the Offeror has a Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) approved Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA), that agreement should be utilized for cost/pricing proposals and for both labor and indirect rates. Labor costs must be broken out by labor category, proposed hours and unburdened labor rates for each labor category, overhead cost(s) and percentage(s), General & Administrative (G&A) cost(s) and percentage(s) with that labor category for the basic proposal period and each option year, if applicable. The proposal shall identify the proposed escalation factor(s) for subsequent periods and explain the basis for the escalation factor(s). Also include applicable indirect rates for travel, materials, and subcontracting.

4. For a FFP TO, contractors will be required to prepare a FFP proposal. The contractor shall provide and be evaluated at a bottom line price for the entire effort. However, to facilitate the technical evaluation, the contractor shall provide a breakout of labor categories, descriptions, and hours for personnel proposed.

5. IAW FAR 15.404-3, the prime contractor shall submit a cost/price evaluation on each subcontract. Describe the evaluation rationale that leads to the prime’s conclusion that the subcontract price is fair and reasonable. Explain all adjustments made to the subcontract proposed cost.

F.

The Government may issue TOs with option periods when it is determined appropriate in accordance with FAR 17.2. A TO with options shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options.

G.

Award of TOs will be accomplished using best value Full-Technical Trade-off (FTT), Performance Price Trade-Off (PPT) or Low-Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process as defined in FAR Part 15 and AFFARS FAR Part 5315 and as specified in the TO-RFP.

H. For this contract, the designated TO ombudsman is AFSPC/A7K, 719-554-5250. The TO ombudsman is responsible for reviewing complaints from multiple award contractors and ensuring that all of the contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for TOs in excess of $3,000 consistent with procedures in the contract. However, it is not within the designated TO contract ombudsman's authority to prevent the issuance of an order unless it is in excess of $10 million or disturb an existing order.

H-5
