C.1 MAC BOA Execution Business Rules

1. General

a) A BOA is not a contract pursuant to FAR 16.703(a)(3). An Order issued pursuant to a BOA will become a binding contract at the time of the Government's acceptance of an Order proposal and award of an Order.

b) A BOA will be valid for up to five (5) years beginning from the effective date of the initial BOA execution. IAW DFARS 216.703(c), the period during which orders may be placed against a BOA may not exceed 5 years.

c) IAW FAR 16.703(c)(2), a BOA shall be reviewed annually before the anniversary of its effective date and revised as necessary to conform to the changing requirements of the FAR and other applicable statutes and regulations. BOAs shall be changed only by modifying the agreement itself and not by individual orders issued under it. Modifying a BOA shall not retroactively affect orders previously issued under it. The terms of the BOA may need to be revised before the annual review due to changes in mandatory requirements.

Prior to the annual review and renewal, the PCO will notify the contractor in writing informing it of the review and confirming that the contractor wishes to have its BOA renewed. As BOAs are not contracts, either the Government or the Contractor may elect not to renew the BOA at the annual review. The Government reserves the right to cancel the BOA if doing so is considered to be in the Government's best interest.

d) BOA Invitations will be released once a year to allow interested contractors an opportunity to submit a proposal for evaluation to obtain an executed MAC BOA. The Government will execute no-cost BOAs to offerors whose proposals in response to the BOA invitation are found acceptable based on the criteria stated in the invitation.

An annual synopsis for requirements falling under the scope of the MAC BOA will be released in Beta Sam.

The annual synopsis will cover requirements related to Construction Services that are within the scope of the MAC BOA and designated for performance under the MAC BOA which emerge within the year after the annual synopsis is published. The Air Force will not conduct a separate BOA synopsis for any such emergent requirement prior to issuing the applicable Phase Two, Competitive Requirement/Order Process within BOA Holder Pool.

NOTE: The annual BOA Invitation will be the only opportunity contractors will have to obtain an executed MAC BOA , and be in the Holder Pool, in order to propose on Order Proposal Request (OPRs) issued within the year; BOA proposals will not be solicited, accepted, and will not be executed, at any time other than during the annual BOA Invitation, even for those emergent requirements not specifically identified in the annual synopsis.

Therefore, if a contractor desires to participate in any future MAC BOA order that may arise within the year, it is imperative that the contractor submit a proposal in response to the annual BOA Invitation.

e) Only Air Force Tinker AFB Contracting AFSC/PZIOC is authorized to execute, modify, and undertake annual reviews of BOAs resulting from this solicitation.

f) The execution of a BOA does not guarantee that the Government will place future orders with the offeror.

2. Phase Two Order Requests

a) Orders will only be competed amongst contractors that received a BOA in Phase One. An Offeror must be a qualified BOA holder as of the closing date of an Order RFP. The Government will confirm that an Offeror is a qualified BOA holder by checking the effective date of an Offerors BOA. Period of Performance for orders issued against the BOA will be established in each task order and are effective for up to five (5) years from the Task Order effective dates.

b) Offerors are NOT required to propose those subcontractors used to establish technical capability in Phase One (i.e. BOA process); however, Offerors shall propose themselves and/or subcontractors that can meet the evaluation criteria and successfully perform the requirements of each Task Order.

c) Specific evaluation criteria will be identified in the OPR. Evaluation factors may include Technical, Past Performance, Cost/Price, and Small Business Participation. Order source selections may be executed based on:

evaluation of price only; lowest price, technically acceptable (LPTA); or, best value trade-off process.

d) A Statement of Work specific to the Order requirement and the associated Performance Requirements Summary will be provided at the Order level..

e) Pricing information will only be required at the Order level. Orders may vary in contract type from Firm- Fixed-Price, Cost, or a combination of both. The contractor shall adhere to the prices proposed and agreed to in each individual order issued against the BOA. The contractor is not authorized to begin work on an order issued against the BOA until prices have been established. In the event that the Contracting Officer requires work to begin prior to establishment of pricing, failure to reach agreement on price may be disputed under the Disputes clause.

f) Offerors will certify business size standards at the Order level.

g) Responsibility determinations will be made at Phase Two. An otherwise successful Offeror may not be eligible for award if it cannot be determined responsible for any of the reasons in FAR 9.104.

C.2 Small Business Provisions, Joint Ventures, and Subcontracting

1. Set-Asides

a) Order competitions will be set aside for small businesses based on the Governments estimated value of the construction order requirement.

b) It has been determined that for the annual requirements estimated at or below $25M annually, there is a reasonable expectation that two (2) or more responsible small businesses will submit offers and will be capable of providing these services; as such, in Phase Two, those requirements will be set aside for small business participation (SBSA) by those small businesses that have been determined to be acceptable under Phase One of this multi-phase process.

If two (2) or more proposals are not received from responsible small businesses with the capacity and capability to perform the requirement at a fair and reasonable price, the competition will be opened up to all contractors that have been determined acceptable in Phase One, Competition for BOA Holders.

If a requirement has been estimated at or below $25M and therefore set aside for small business, but the proposals come in over $25M, the "Rule of 2" will be applied. If two (2) or more proposals are received from responsible, capable small businesses at a fair and reasonable price, the evaluation will proceed and the contract will be awarded in accordance with the evaluation terms of that Order. However, if two (2) or more proposals are not received from responsible small businesses with the capacity and capability to perform the requirement at a fair and reasonable price, the competition will be opened up to all contractors that have been determined acceptable in Phase One, Competition for BOA Holders.

Market Research will be performed prior to Order competitions in Phase Two, Competitive Requirement/Order Process within BOA Holder Pool for those requirements expected to exceed $25 million. Market Research will consist of competition data received from BOA Holders in response to OPR submissions and resultant Order awards. Based upon this data, if it is determined that there is a reasonable expectation that two (2) or more proposals will be received from responsible small business BOA Holders with the capacity and capability to perform the requirement at a fair and reasonable price, under the "Rule of 2" the requirement will be solicited as a SBSA. If not, proposals will be solicited from all BOA Holders determined to be acceptable under Phase One, Competition for BOA Holders.

2. Size Standards

a) SBA's size eligibility standards are found in Title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121 (13 CFR Part 121). In order to ensure that an Offeror qualifies as an eligible small business, prospective Offerors are encouraged to review this regulation (which was substantially revised in 2016) in its entirety. 13 CFR 121.103 in particular may assist a prospective offeror in assessing whether affiliation could apply; a finding by the SBA of affiliation between entities may result in a determination that the Offeror is other than a small business and therefore ineligible for the SBSA Order award. An offeror with questions regarding size eligibility standards should contact its legal counsel and/or SBA Office of Government Contracting personnel; 8

(a) Program participants may consult the cognizant SBA Business Opportunity Specialist.

b) The SBA is the sole authority for making determinations of small business status for small business programs; such determinations are binding on the Offeror and on the Contracting Officer.

c) Generally, SBA determines the size status of a concern (including affiliates) as of the date the concern submits a written self- certification that it is small to the procuring agency as part of its initial offer including price. This determination will be done at the Order level (Phase Two) and will apply for the term of the Order NTE five (5) years. For orders that exceed five years, FAR 52.219-28, Post-Award Small Business Program Representation, applies. The Government will not inquire into the size status of an offeror during Phase One.

Joint Ventures (JVs). Due to the complexity and the wide range of capabilities required by the contracts that will be solicited for at the Task Order level (Phase Two), JVs may be utilized. A JV must be an approved BOA holder from Phase One in order to propose as a Prime on a Task Order solicitation at Phase Two, and the JV must comply with the applicable requirements of Title 13 of the CFR (see Parts 121.103(h), 124.513, 125.15, 126.616, and 127.506).

Entities proposing as a joint venture (JV) are encouraged to specifically review 13 CFR 121.103, "How Does SBA Determine Affiliation? subparagraph (h) (Affiliation based on joint ventures) prior to submitting a proposal. 13 CFR 121.103 provides several examples that may assist a prospective offeror in assessing whether affiliation could be applied to its JV. Note: In accordance with 13 CFR 121.103, a JV of two (2) or more business concerns may submit an offer as a small business without regard to affiliation so long as each concern is small under the size standard for NAICS 236210. In order for this affiliation exception to apply, however, the following conditions must be met: there must be a written JV agreement, the JV must do business under its own name and be identified in the System for Award Management (SAM), and the JV must not have been awarded more than three (3) contracts within a two year period from the date of award of the first contract (i.e. as of the date that it submits an initial offer that leads to the award of a contract, the JV must not have been awarded any more than two (2) contracts in the previous two (2) years).

As part of its BOA proposal at Phase One, a JV offeror will be required to submit a copy of its written JV agreement.

Subcontracting Arrangements. Offerors proposing subcontracting arrangements at the Order level (Phase Two) are encouraged to specifically review 13 CFR 121.103, "How Does SBA Determine Affiliation?

(subparagraph (h)(4)) prior to submitting a proposal. A finding by the SBA of affiliation between an offeror and its subcontractor(s) may result in a determination that the Offeror is other than a small business and therefore ineligible for the SBSA Order award.

For SBSA solicitations, Offerors proposing subcontracting arrangements at the Order level (Phase Two) may be required to explain which of its subcontractors are similarly situated subcontractors pursuant to the definition provided in 13 CFR 125.1 for purposes of determining whether the arrangement includes the use of any ostensible subcontractors and thus treated as a JV and the entities considered affiliated.

There is no restriction on the number of JVs or subcontracting opportunities that an Offeror may participate in.

Cost/Price evaluations will not be performed at the BOA level.

L.1.2 The Government intends to execute BOAs based upon the content of initial proposals and without discussions with Offerors after receipt of those initial proposals; as such, an Offeror's initial proposal should contain sufficient information to satisfy the technical requirements. Offerors are cautioned to examine this solicitation in its entirety to ensure that its proposal contains all necessary information, provides all required documentation, and is complete in all respects. The Government is not obligated to make another request for the required information nor does the Government assume the duty to search for data or to cure problems it finds in proposals.

L.1.3 The Government reserves the right to enter into discussions with Offerors whose initial proposals are determined to be technically unacceptable, if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so.

(a) If discussions are determined to be in the Government's best interest, the Government will only enter into discussions with those Offerors whose proposals do not contain significant informational deficiencies.

(b) The Government will not enter into discussions with Offerors whose proposals are determined to contain significant informational deficiencies; those Offerors will be precluded from receiving a BOA and will be notified in writing.

L.1.4 The BOA process (both the evaluation of proposals and the placement of BOAs), is not a source selection process; as such, the source selection policies and procedures of FAR 15.3 do not apply on orders under $10M.

L.1.5 The proposal shall be valid for 120 days from the required submission date.

L.1.6 Late proposals will not be accepted.

Note: The Government reserves the right to waive the Compliance Review if it is in the Government's best interest.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

EVALUATION CRITERIA

M.1 EVALUATION METHODOLOGY & BASIS FOR EXECUTION OF A BOA

M.1.1 The Government will execute a BOA to any Offeror whose proposal complies with the BOA Invitation requirements and is determined to be Technically Acceptable.

M.1.2 Compliance Review: The Government will compare the Offeror's proposal to the ITO in order to perform a compliance review. Any Offeror's proposal determined non-compliant per the terms noted in the ITO will not be evaluated and will not be further considered for execution of a BOA. Only Offerors whose proposals are determined to be compliant will move to the Technical Factor evaluation process.

The Government reserves the right to waive the Compliance Review if it is in the Government's best interest.

M.1.3 JV Agreement The Government will verify the Offeror provided a signed, legal JV agreement, if applicable.

M.1.4 Technical Factor Evaluation

(a) Proposals determined to be compliant per the terms noted in the ITO will be evaluated for the technical factor based upon the criteria provided in M.2 below. Only compliant proposals determined technically acceptable will receive a BOA.

(b) The Government intends to execute BOAs based upon the content of initial proposals and without discussions with Offerors after receipt of those initial proposals; as such, an Offeror's initial proposal should contain sufficient information to satisfy the technical requirements.

(c) The Government does reserve the right, however, to enter into discussions with Offerors whose initial proposals are determined to be technically unacceptable if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so.

(1) If discussions are determined to be in the Government's best interest, the Government will only enter into discussions with those Offerors whose proposals do not contain significant informational deficiencies.

(2) The Government will not enter into discussions with Offerors whose proposals are determined to contain significant informational deficiencies; those Offerors will be precluded from receiving a BOA.

M.1.5 The Government will execute a BOA with any Offeror whose proposal complies with the BOA Invitation requirements and is determined to be Technically Acceptable.

M.1.6 As the BOA process (both the evaluation of proposals and the placement of BOAs), is not a competitive acquisition process, the source selection policies and procedures of FAR 15.3 do not apply.

M.2 Technical Factor M.2.1 The Technical Factor will be evaluated only on proposals that pass Compliance review.

M.2.2 Evaluation of the Technical Factor consists of an evaluation of the Offeror's proposed Technical Capability Statement (TCS); Bonding; Corporate Organizational Structure; and Experience.

The Offeror's Technical proposal will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. An Offeror must receive an acceptable rating in ALL evaluation criteria to receive an overall acceptable rating for the Technical Factor. The Technical Factor will be rated as follows:

- Acceptable: The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the BOA Invitation.

- Unacceptable: The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the…
