CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (APR 2014)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF

1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(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--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(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.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. 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.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. (1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to--GSA

(SAM) database. The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation “DUNS” or “DUNS +4” followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address. The DUNS +4 is the DUNS number plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned at the discretion of the offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts

(see FAR Subpart 32.11) for the same concern. If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one. An offeror within the United States may contact Dun and Bradstreet by calling

The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(k) System for Award Management. Unless exempted by an addendum to this solicitation, by submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance and through final payment of any contract resulting from this solicitation. If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting

Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror. Offerors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the SAM database accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award;

(5) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

Addendum to 52.212-1 Quotation Preparation Instructions

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the quotations, vendors must follow the instructions contained herein. Vendors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in a quote being ineligible for award. The quotation shall consist of three

(3) separate parts; Part I - Price, Part II - Technical, and Part III - Past Performance.

B. The Government’s terms, conditions, and respective clauses contained within this solicitation are prescribed in accordance with United States Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and are not subject to conditionally proposed revisions or changes requested by vendors. Vendor specific terms and conditions that may be contingently proposed for subsequent inclusion into the contract, if awarded, will not be considered by the Government in its evaluation of quotes. Vendor’s that are not able to comply with the aforementioned conditions, will be determined as noncompliant with the solicitation requirements, and therefore may be removed from consideration for award.

C. Specific Instructions: Complete the necessary fill-ins and certifications in all provisions. The provision FAR

52.212-3 shall be returned along with the quote.

Vendors are encouraged to submit their quote electronically to: savard.boone.1@us.af.mil and julie.gill@us.af.mil. It is the vendor’s responsibility to ensure the quote is sent to the correct Government email address(s), and it is encouraged that vendors request a “read receipt” to ensure quotations have been received. Please note that our email system has a 1MB limit for attachments. Vendors may send their quote using multiple emails and it is advised that number systems such as “email 1 of 4” are used so that if requested by the vendor, we can confirm receipt. The requirements below for multiple copies do not apply to electronically submitted quote.

1. PART I – PRICE - Submit original and two (2) copies (copies are only required when quotation is not submitted electronically.)

a) Labor Hour Contract Quotes: As prescribed by clause 52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT, the resultant contract will be a Labor Hour contract. Complete all areas within the Price Schedule, ensuring that proposed unit (hourly rate) and extended prices for the required quantities are correctly calculated for summary totals that equate to prices provided at the Contract Line Item Number-level (CLIN).

b) To be considered for award, proposed pricing must be submitted in British Sterling Pounds (£), and remain valid for 60 days after the solicitation close date for all items in the Price Schedule and for all associated priced CLINs.

mailto:savard.boone.1@us.af.mil mailto:julie.gill@us.af.mil

c) TUPE: During the solicitation phase and award of the resultant contract the Government does not have access to specific TUPE information nor becomes involved with related TUPE processes and associated liabilities

(to include indemnification) that may transpire during pre-award or post-award phases between transferor and transferee. While the Government fully understands the relevance of TUPE-information in proposing fixed prices, the responsibility to provide TUPE-information rests solely with the transferor; governed by

Regulation 11 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employees) Regulations 2006 (TUPE). As the transferor need only provide TUPE information to the transferee prior to the transfer, the Government will only make available the listing of the current, incumbent contractor(s) with associated points of contact if requested.

d) The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial quotes, the contracting officer will assess this determination and if, in the contracting officer’s opinion, adequate price competition exists, the competition of quotes will determine price reasonableness. However, if at any time during this competition the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist, vendors may be required to submit other than cost or pricing data to establish price reasonableness.

2. PART II – TECHNICAL – Submit original and two (2) copies. Limit to no more than 20 pages. (copies are only required when quotation is not submitted electronically.)

a) Transition Plan – Provide your plan for transitioning personnel that will ensure successful performance on the contract start date. Offerors shall provide a clear and comprehensive narrative that outlines associated and scheduled transition activities that will result in successful performance on the contract start date of 1

August 2015. Transition Plans shall include at minimum:

Thoroughly and clearly describe your key processes and procedures for hiring or obtaining the necessary personnel and ensuring that employees are available and capable to perform the contract requirements on the contract start date. This should include processes which will adhere to the required shift times, employee replacements, and re-performance (ref. Performance Work Statement (PWS) paragraphs 1.6, 2.2, and Section III, Appendix 1, Approximate Shift Times per Task

Order)

Thoroughly and clearly describe your key processes and procedures for ensuring employees have received and are capable of providing the Health Examination

Certificates to enable performance of the contract requirements on the contract start date (ref. PWS paragraph 1.4.4).

Thoroughly and clearly describe your key processes and procedures for ensuring means to both provide uniforms that meet the criteria set forth in the PWS, as well as methods to control and enforce proper wear by contracted employees to enable performance of the contract requirements on the contract start date (ref. PWS paragraph 1.2 and Section III Appendix 2 Contractor Furnished Items).

Thoroughly and clearly describe your key processes and procedures for ensuring timely submission of all materials required for base pass access; taking into account that submitting employees that have criminal records or other extenuating circumstances may take longer to be approved, if they receive approval at all.

Describe how the contractor will enforce/ensure all employees have base access to enable performance of the contract requirements on the contract start date (ref. PWS paragraph 1.9).

3. PART III – PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION - Only references for recent and relevant type contracts and/or projects are desired for past performance evaluation (definitions of recency and relevancy can be found below in paragraph (a). Submit original and two (2) copies. (copies are only required when quotation is not submitted electronically.)

a) Quality and Satisfaction Rating for Contracts Completed in the Past Three Years: Vendors must submit recent and relevant contact information for up to three (3) customers for whom food preparation services have been provided. To be considered recent, food preparation services for a particular customer must have been provided within the last three (3) years. To be considered relevant, food preparation services must be, or have been, similar size (monetary value and number of customers served) and complexity as the requirement in this solicitation. Multiple customer contacts can be provided for the same customer.

For each customer provided, vendors must provide the following information:

i. Company/Division name/Contracting Agency/Customer Name

ii. Description of service provided

iii. Contract Number

iv. Contract Dollar/GBP Value

v. Period of Performance

vi. Verified, up-to-date name, address, email, & telephone number of the customer

NOTE: It is the vendor’s responsiblitity to validate and provide current contact information for the customer reference. If a customer reference point of contact cannot be reached, the Government is not obligated to seek an additional point of contact.

b) In addition, provide any information currently available (metrics, audits, independent surveys, etc.) which demonstrates customer satisfaction with overall job performance and quality of completed product for same or similar type contract. In addition, explain corrective actions taken in the past, if any, for substandard performance and any current performance problems such as cost overruns, extended performance periods, numerous warranty calls, etc.

If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent (within the past three years) past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner.

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:

Part I - Price

Part II - Technical

Part III - Past Performance

ALSO SEE ADDENDUM 52.212-2

(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. 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.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

Addendum to 52.212-2

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD: Government evaluation will be conducted on vendors’ quotations considering the evaluation factors listed herein. Evaluation of the factors will utilize a Lowest Price, Technically

Acceptable (LPTA) process; whereby the Government seeks to award on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotations meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards of non-price factors (i.e. Technical and Past

Performance). Under the LPTA process, trade-offs are not permitted, quotations are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using the non-price factors. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

1. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD: IAW FAR 13.106-2, quotations will be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion whereby formal evaluation plans and establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions, and scoring quotations or offers are not required. A comparative evaluation of quotations will be conducted whereby preliminary consideration of all quotations will identify one that is most suitable to the user, subject to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quotation. Three (3) evaluation factors will be used to evaluate quotations: a.) Price, b.) Technical and, c.) Past Performance.

a) Price. The Government will evaluate prices submitted in the Pricing Schedule and verify extended totals at the CLIN level. Comparisons of quoted pricing by vendors received in response to the solicitation will be first evaluated at the CLIN level to verify completeness and correctness. As only one (1) contract will result from this solicitation, the total evaluated price of each quotation will be determined at an aggregate/overall level, for purpose of the Government’s price evaluation. Accordingly, vendors should quote the best available pricing to the Government for each item in arriving at the most competitive, overall price. A comparison of vendor’s proposed, competitive prices at the aggregate total, will satisfy the requirement for price analysis, in establishing price reasonableness in accordance with FAR Part 13.106-3(1) .

b) Technical. The Government will evaluate technical quotations on a pass/fail-basis, assigning an overall rating for the Technical factor as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. Accordingly, under the LPTA evaluation process, vendor’s assigned an “Unacceptable” rating for this factor, may not be considered for award. Technical Acceptability shall be evaluated against the following factor:

i. Transition Plan: The Transition Plan will be evaluated for its completeness in thoroughly addressing the vendor’s proposed processes and procedures, as identified in the addendum to provision 52.212-1, which enables successful performance of the contract requirements on the contract start date. As the

Government intends to award a contract without discussions, vendors that do not provide sufficient information to clearly and comprehensively illustrate their plans for transitioning and meeting the requirements of the Performance Work Statement, may result in an unacceptable rating for this

Technical factor, and therefore, such vendors may be removed from consideration for award.

c) Past Performance. The Government will use questionnaires for the vendor’s referenced customers to determine Past Performance acceptability. Also utilized by the government during past performance evaluation will be data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. Based upon feedback from respondents to the questionnaires, and information gained from other government/commercial sources, past performance evaluation will further assess the recency and relevancy of associated projects. If determined by the Government to be recent and relevant, the Government will assess whether or not the vendor had successfully demonstrated an ability to perform. Recent performance includes contract performance within three (3) years of the date of this solicitation. Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving the services in the PWS that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. The evaluation of past performance information will result in an overall assessment of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”.

Note that the past performance evaluation performed in support of this requirement does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the vendor’s past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the vendor performed those past contracts.

2. AWARD DETERMINATION: As a result of the Government’s aforementioned evaluation, only those vendors whose quotations are assigned acceptable ratings for both factors entailing Technical and Past

Performance will be considered for award. Of those vendors whose Technical quotations and Past

Performance records are assigned acceptable ratings, award will be made to the lowest reasonably priced vendor.

Additional Information for Vendors regarding the Government’s evaluation of quotations:

Vendors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in 52.212-1, Instructions to

Vendors—Commercial Items. NOTE: This addendum supplements section (c) of the primary clause 52.212-2;

whereby this solicitation is issued in accordance with simplified acquisition procedures prescribed by FAR Part 13, in seeking quotations from interested vendors. Accordingly, in accordance with 13.004 -- Legal Effect of Quotations, a quotation is not an offer and, consequently, cannot be accepted by the Government to form a binding contract.

Therefore, issuance by the Government of an order in response to a vendor’s quotation does not establish a contract.

The order is an offer by the Government to the vendor to buy certain supplies or services upon specified terms and conditions. A contract is established when the vendor awarded the contract (awardee), accepts the offer. The contracting officer may ask the awardee to indicate acceptance of an order by notification to the Government in writing (i.e. by bilaterally signing the contract), and/or the awardee may indicate acceptance by furnishing the supplies or services ordered, or by proceeding with the work to the point where substantial performance has occurred.
