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.

(End of provision)

(B) The payment of a reimbursement, restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000.

(iv) In a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding, a disposition of the matter by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if the proceeding could have led to any of the outcomes specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), or (c)(1)(iii) of this provision.

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

(d) The offeror shall post the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iv) of this provision in FAPIIS as required through maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management database via https://www.acquisition.gov (see 52.204-7).

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

FACTOR I - TECHNICAL CAPABILITY PROPOSAL

SUBFACTOR 1 – Licensure

SUBFACTOR 2 – Certifications

SUBFACTOR 3 – Education

SUBFACTOR 4 – Past Experience

FACTOR II – PRICE PROPOSAL

The government will evaluate technical proposals and the above listed sub-factors on a pass/fail-basis, assigning ratings of acceptable, or unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any of the above subfactors will result in an unacceptable rating for this Technical Capability primary factor and the entire factor will be rated as unacceptable. Failure to completely address any subfactor will deem an offer as technically unacceptable. Accordingly, under the LPTA source selection approach, offerors who receive an unacceptable rating for this factor, may not be considered for award.

(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. Price evaluation will also be conducted to account for exercising the Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8, which will be calculated by multiplying the final option years’ proposed pricing by .5. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(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.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 ADDENDUM TO

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

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: The award will be made to the vendor whose proposal represents the best value to the government. As allowed by FAR 15.101-2, the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) selection process shall be applied. 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 proposal with the lowest evaluated price for non-cost factors. To be eligible for award, a proposal 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 source selection process, trade-offs are not permitted, proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors, and exchanges with offerors may occur. If the proposal 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 proposals: Technical Capability Proposal, and Price Proposal.

FACTOR I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Acceptable

Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation. All factors and subfactors have passed the evaluation.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Each subfactor must pass the evaluation in order for the technical factor to pass. Failure to address any subfactor will deem an offer as technically unacceptable.

The government will evaluate the technical proposal and the below listed subfactors on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of acceptable or unacceptable. An unacceptable rating for any of the below subfactors will result in an unacceptable rating of this Technical Capability Proposal primary factor. Accordingly, under the LPTA source selection approach, offerors 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 subfactors:

SUBFACTOR 1 – Licensure:

This subfactor is met when an offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this subfactor. The 48 MDG will verify licenses by the state licensing board website for the state the license was issued from to ensure it is active, current, valid and unrestricted and from a US jurisdiction.

SUBFACTOR 2 – Certifications:

This subfactor is met when an offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this subfactor. Basic Life Support (BLS) Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) by the American Heart Association, and Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) certification will be verified by the 48th Medical Group to ensure the name matches the applicant and the certification is current.

SUBFACTOR 3 –Education:

This subfactor is met when an offeror thoroughly,completely, and accurately submits and fully addresses all of the following criteria listed in this subfactor. Provided copy of Associates Degree or Diploma degree/documentation showing that they have graduated from a US nationally accredited nursing program; will be verified by the 48th Medical Group to ensure the name on the license matches the applicant and the college of nursing is accredited.

SUBFACTOR 4 –Past Experience:

This subfactor is met when the offeror thoroughly, completely, and accurately provides documentation of at least twelve (12) months of recent and relevant past experience within the last thirty six (36) months. Resume must include all phases of Pain Management clinical technique such as preparing procedure room units, preparing patients for clinical procedures, and assisting medical officer during procedures; and experience in conscious sedation and intensive treatment. Documentation consists of name and contact information of recent and relevant contracts or employment with government medical facilities or social work agencies and/or commercial medical facilities. The government will contact submitted names to verify offeror’s past experience

FACTOR II – PRICE PROPOSAL

An offeror’s proposed prices 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. Price evaluation will also be conducted to account for exercising the Option to Extend Services clause 52.217-8, which will be calculated by multiplying the final option years’ proposed pricing by .5.

As this requirement is a “commercial” service that will result in a “firm-fixed-priced” contract, a comparison of offeror’s proposed, competitive prices will satisfy the requirement for price analysis. The price evaluation will be accomplished by conducting price analysis to assess and compare proposed prices and reasonableness of the proposed total evaluated price as defined in FAR 15.404-1 and FAR 15.305.

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 offerors whose quotes are determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Of those offerors found technically acceptable, an award determination will be made to the lowest priced offeror that is determined to be reasonable, realistic, and affordable.
