CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (APR 2010)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision.; and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.

(iv) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code).

(ii) The Offeror has ( ) has not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(2) Principal, for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Contractor whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. All Quotations must be based upon Firm Fixed Prices (FFP), FAR 16.202-1. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

FACTOR I - TECHNICAL Quotation Sub-Factor 1 – Education

Sub-Factor 2 – Experience

FACTOR II – PRICE QUOTATION

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The award will be made to the vendor whose quote represents the best value to the government. As allowed by FAR 13.106-2(b), FAR 15.101-2, the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) will be used as the evaluation procedure. Award will be made to the vendor who is deemed responsible and responsive that reflects a complete understanding of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and represents the best value to the Government based on selection of the technically acceptable quote with the lowest evaluated price for non-cost factors. To be eligible for award, a quote must meet all technical requirements, conform to all required terms and conditions, and provide all information required. The technical area will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. Under the LPTA process, trade-offs are not permitted, quotes are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors, and exchanges with vendors may occur. If the quote received is determined to be unacceptable, the vendor may be excluded from competition and may not be considered for award.

A. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: Two (2) evaluation factors will be used to evaluate quotes: Technical Approach and Price Quote.

A. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: Two (2) evaluation factors will be used to evaluate Quotations: Technical Capability, Price.

FACTOR I - TECHNICAL Quotation Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

The government will evaluate the technical Quotation and the below listed sub-factors on a Acceptable/ Unacceptable basis, assigning ratings of acceptable or unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any of the below sub-factors will result in an unacceptable rating of this Technical Capability primary factor. Accordingly, under the LPTA approach, Contractors who receive an unacceptable rating for this factor may not be considered for award. If any single area receives a rating of unacceptable, the entire plan will be rated as Unacceptable. Technical acceptability will be evaluated against the following sub-factors:

Sub-Factor 1 – Education – This sub-factor is met when a candidate thoroughly, completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this sub-factor. A minimum of a Baccalaureate Degree (in any field) will be verified by the 48 FW/HC to ensure the name matches the applicant and the credential is accredited.

Two (2) professional letters of reference with contact details shall be verified by the 48 FW/HC through telephone calls for each submitted candidate.

FACTOR II – PRICE QUOTE

A Contractor’s quoted price will be verified on the Solicitation CLIN Pricing Schedule by multiplying the quantities identified for each item number in the price schedule by the proposed unit price to confirm the extended amount for each price schedule item. The extended price for each line item will then be added together to arrive at a total evaluated price.

As this requirement is a “commercial” service that will result in a “firm-fixed-priced” contract, a comparison of vendor’s proposed, competitive prices will satisfy the requirement for price analysis. The price evaluation will be accomplished per FAR 13.106-3(a).

Firm-fixed-price contract provides for a price that is not subject to any adjustment on the basis of the contractor’s cost experience in performing the contract. (FAR 16.202-1)

B. AWARD DETERMINATION: As a result of the Government‘s aforementioned evaluation, only those Contractors whose quotes are determined to be technically acceptable will be considered for award. No trade-offs will be permitted between price, and the non-price factor of technical capability.

Additional Information for Vendors:

Contractors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors—Commercial Items. C ontractors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their quote to resolve minor clerical errors.

The government intends to award a contract without discussions with respective contractor. The government, however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
