Basis For Contract Award: Award will be made IAW FAR RFO 12.203 on a best value basis taking Past Performance and Price into consideration.

In that event, the Contracting Officer will be the Decision Authority and will make a best value award decision using Past Performance and Price.

(1) Evaluation Steps:

(A) The Government will review all quotes for compliance. A compliant quote consists of a quote that meets the Governments requirements identified in this solicitation.

(B) Past Performance Factor:

(i) The Government will evaluate past performance information IAW FAR RFO 12.203(a)(2) on all quotes based on the references provided by the vendor, will consider an vendor’s supplier risk IAW DFARS 252.204-7024, Notice on the Use of the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS), and information in the Government-wide Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) at https://www.cpars.gov, if available.

SATISFACTORY The vendor satisfactorily provided all services IAW the POCs Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Statement of Work (SOW).

UNSATISFACTORY The vendor did not satisfactorily provide all services IAW the POCs PWS or

SOW.

ACCEPTABLE Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the vendor will successfully perform the required effort.

NEUTRAL No performance record within the same scope of work is available or the vendor’s performance record is so sparse that a positive or negative rating cannot be reasonably assigned.

UNACCEPTABLE Based on the vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

C. Price Evaluation Factor:

(i) Taking the pricing information listed in FAR 52.212-1(a)(7)(ii), the Government will evaluate the total price listed in Attachment 3, Pricing Schedule, including all options, IAW FAR 12.203(a)(3).

(ii) The Government will consider a vendor’s price risk in determining if a vendor’s price is consistent with historical prices paid for a product or a service or otherwise creates a risk to the Government IAW DFARS 252.204-7024, Notice on the Use of the Supplier Performance Risk System.

(iii) Evaluating the Option CLINs does not obligate the Government to exercise any Options.

(2) Interchanges: The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price contract without interchanges with respective vendors.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area.

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror would claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229- 12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.

DAFFARS 5352.201-9101 Ombudsman (JUL 2023)

(a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and others for this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman does not affect the authority of the program manager, contracting officer, or source selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of protests or formal contract disputes. The ombudsman may refer the interested party to another official who can resolve the concern.

(b) Before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. Consulting an ombudsman does not alter or postpone the timelines for any other processes (e.g., agency level bid protests, GAO bid protests, requests for debriefings, employee-employer actions, contests of OMB Circular A-76 competition performance decisions).

(c) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, the interested party may contact the ombudsman, E Street, Suite B-100, JBPH-H, HI 96853-5427, Phone: (808) 449-8569, FAX: (808) 449-8571, e-mail: afica.kh@us.af.mil.
