If any subcontractor intends to subcontract more than 70% of the total cost of work to be performed, the contactor shall identify (i) the amount of the subcontractor's indirect costs and profit applicable to the work to be performed by the subcontractor(s) and (ii) a description of the added value provided by the subcontractor as related to the work to be performed by the subcontractor(s).

38. If the change results in an increase in price exceeding $750,000, large business contractors shall update their small business subcontracting plan.

39. Update the small business participation plan, if applicable.

TSA IV-H004 CONTRACT FINANCING (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

After award of this contract and subsequent task orders, the contractor may propose to the Government a plan for an alternative financing arrangement in the form of Performance-Based Payments (PBP). Any proposal submitted shall conform to the requirements of FAR 52.232-28 Invitation to Propose Performance-Based Payments and include appropriate consideration.

If the Contracting Officer determines the contractor's proposal for PBPs is in the best interests of the Government, incorporation will be accomplished by bilateral contract modification.

TSA IV-H005 FOREIGN MILITARY SALES (FMS) (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

FMS task orders may be issued under the terms and conditions of this contract. Before any FMS task order is issued, a properly executed Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) between the United States Government and the FMS country, accompanied by sufficient funding, will be provided by the FMS country. In addition, if the LOA directs the source in accordance with FAR 6.302-4, “International Agreement,” and that source is a TSA IV prime contractor, a sole source task order may be issued to that source in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i)(g). A separate task order will be issued for each FMS case. Any task order issued on behalf of an FMS country shall be in accordance with the terms and conditions of this contract.

TSA IV-H006 ROM DEVELOPMENT (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

Under no circumstances will the Government pay for the contractor to develop and submit a Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) during the performance of this contract.

TSA IV-H007 ADDITION OF CONTRACTORS DURING THE LIFE OF THE TSA IV ID/IQ CONTRACT

(JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

It is the Government’s intention to maintain a presence of both large and small businesses as part of the TSA IV contractor base. Based on this premise, the Government reserves the right to add additional prime contractors as deemed necessary in order to sustain the competitive environment for awarding task orders.

On a periodic basis, the Government will make a determination whether it is necessary to add additional prime contractors. The Government’s initial assessment will be conducted no later than 60 months after award of the TSA IV contract with periodic assessments made thereafter. The Government will consider the following to determine whether to re-open the competition of the TSA IV contract:

Small business contractors merging or being acquired and necessitating re-representation as large businesses in accordance with FAR 52.219-28.

Small business contractors being unable to re-represent as small businesses in accordance with

FAR 52.219-28.

Experienced levels of task order competition.

Emergence of capable firms subsequent to award of the TSA IV contract.

Any other considerations deemed to be in the Government's best interest.

Should the Government determine that it is necessary to add additional prime contractors, the recompetition will be solicited on either an unrestricted or small business set-aside basis as necessary to sustain the competitive base.

TSA IV-H008 DD254 COMPLIANCE (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

No work/access to classified data is required or authorized under the basic TSA IV contract. All work or access to classified data will be addressed in each task order. All task orders issued under TSA IV will be offered to the TSA IV participants ONLY.

The DD254 provided for TSA IV is to describe possible task requirements. All task orders will be issued with DD254s tailored specifically for that individual task order. TSA IV task order security requirements will vary and each task DD254 will address the specific security requirements for each individual task order.

TSA IV task order security requirements may include, but not be limited to: UNCLASSIFIED, SECRET, TOP SECRET, Secure Compartmented Information (SCI), and/or JAFAN/SAP (DD254 Block 10f “yes”) level requirements.

Safeguarding: No safeguarding is required under the basic TSA IV contract; however, future task orders may require the awardee to obtain classified storage/safeguarding capability approved by the Defense Security Service (DSS).

The awardees/participants must obtain SECRET safeguarding capability prior to being provided SECRET material, and for efforts that require TOP SECRET safeguarding the awardee must obtain TOP SECRET safeguarding capability. Each task order’s safeguarding requirements will be addressed on the DD254 issued for that specific task order.

TSA IV-H009 MASTER PLANS (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

The contractor shall provide a Master Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP), Master Configuration Management Plan (CMP), Master Risk Management Plan (RMP), and Master Quality Assurance Program Plan (QAPP) at time of proposal submission for the TSA IV ID/IQ contract award.

These Master Plans shall be adhered to throughout the life of the TSA IV contract. The contractor will be required to “certify” that their Master Plans are still valid and current with each task order proposal submission, as requested. Any changes required to the Master Plans that are necessitated by a change in the TSA IV contractor’s policies/procedures shall be submitted to the Contracting Officer for review and approval. This approval must be attained prior to proposing on any additional task orders. Task order specific changes/additions based on materialized requirements necessary for an individual task order will be requested in the task order solicitation.

TSA IV-H010 OFF-RAMP PROCEDURES (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

The Government reserves the right to utilize off-ramps when it determines that a contractor cannot provide adequate support. Off-ramps may be utilized in the following ways:

1. The Government will assess contractor performance at both the task order and ID/IQ levels using annual ratings via the Contractor Performance Assessment Rating System (CPARS). The Government also will assess contractor progress against their Small Business Participation Plan in meeting their small business subcontracting goals. Contractors with less than Satisfactory performance at any time under this contract may be removed from the TSA IV contract, which will be accomplished by not exercising option ordering periods on their contract. This clause does not limit the Government’s rights under FAR Part 49.

2. TSA IV awardees will be required to propose on a minimum of two competitive task orders during the 5-year base period. This includes task orders proposed as a prime or a subcontractor. Contractors who fail this requirement may be removed from the TSA IV contract, which will be accomplished by not exercising option ordering periods on their contract.

NOTE: Contractors who desire removal from the contract for any reason not related to poor performance shall provide documentation to the TSA IV Contracting Officer with details on why removal from the contract is in the Government's best interest.

TSA IV-H011 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI) (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

In order to prevent: (1) conflicting roles which might bias the contractor’s judgment or objectivity in meeting its duties to the Government under this and any other contract(s) with the Government; and (2) an unfair competitive advantage to the contractor under this or any other contract(s) with the Government, it is agreed by the parties to this contract that the contractor shall be restricted in its future contracting with the Government to the extent described below:

(a) The parties recognize that the contractor will play a very visible and responsible role in the fulfillment of a broad and comprehensive spectrum of TSA IV requirements. This role creates access to information that is not available to the public, which might give the contractor an unfair competitive advantage. The technical judgment of the contractor will influence research, development, and test products, and the contractor may play a key technical review role over other contractors’ work. Both the Government and other contractors must have the utmost confidence that acquisitions are fair and that the contractor’s judgment and recommendations are objective, impartial, and independent. To avoid, neutralize, or mitigate the potential conflict of interest, the contractor shall not, during performance of the contract, engage (as a prime contractor, subcontractor, supplier, or consultant) in any task order that would design, develop, operate, or sustain any system or deliverable that is based on a recommended solution provided by the same contractor under an Advisory and Assistance (A&AS) contract without an approved OCI Mitigation Plan.

(b) If the contractor in the performance of this contract, assists in the preparation of a requirement, or provides information leading directly, predictably and without delay to the preparation of a requirement, it is agreed by the parties that the contractor, the contractor’s parent companies, subsidiaries, and any organization with which the contractor is affiliated through an ownership or direct financial interest shall be ineligible to participate in any competition to obtain award of a contract to perform for the Government the work described within said requirements documents.

(c) To the extent that the performance of work under this contract requires or involves access to competition sensitive information, as well as possible access to proprietary technical data of other companies disclosed to the contractor in confidence, the contractor is required to protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure so long as it remains proprietary. This provision is not intended to protect alleged proprietary data furnished voluntarily by companies without limitations as to use, or which is available to the Government or contractor without restriction from other sources. The contractor shall not use nor permit others to use the data in supplying the system, or components thereof, procured, either by formal advertising or negotiation, or in performing for the Department of Defense additional studies in the same field which are obtained competitively. The contractor shall immediately disclose to the contracting officer knowledge of any such prohibited use or attempted use.

(d) The contractor agrees to accept, and pursue to completion, all tasks identified hereunder and to ensure that its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates do not thereafter enter into contractual agreements as prime contractors or first tier subcontractors which would create a conflict within the meaning of this clause, except as follows:

If performance of a task could cause a conflict of interest within the meaning of this clause with a contract or subcontract held by the contractor, its parent, subsidiaries, or affiliates, which pre-existed the identification of the task to the contractor, the contractor must disclose the conflict of interest to the Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer confirms that the conflict exists, the parties will consider the alternatives available to eliminate the conflict and mutually resolve it considering the relative burdens created by the prospective solutions.

(e) The contractor agrees that any organization participating in the performance of this contract shall be bound as though the “contractor” hereunder. Organizations merely cooperating with the contractor (e.g., providing information) to enable the contractor or its agents to perform shall not be deemed to be “participating” hereunder. This provision shall be incorporated in a manner to ensure that such organizations, and their parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates, shall be so bound in all subcontracts, teaming arrangements, and other agreements calling for the performance of any requirements under this contract.

(f) The contractor agrees to obtain from each employee engaged in any effort connected with this contract an agreement, which shall in substance provide that such an employee will not disclose to others or use for his own benefit proprietary, company private, or source selection sensitive information received in connection with the work under this contract. In addition, the contractor agrees to prevent disclosure of such information to other employees of the company who have no need for the use of the information in the performance of this contract. Additionally, each employee must agree not to accept any gratuity from any potential Government contractors.

(g) The contractor must thoroughly instill in its employees, through formal training in company policies and procedures, an awareness of the philosophy of FAR Subpart 9.5 to the end that they will be disciplined in the absolute necessity of refraining from divulging to any unauthorized person proprietary data, trade secrets, confidential information, or restricted data from other companies received in connection with work under this contract.

(h) The contractor shall require its employees to sign written agreements prohibiting proprietary information disclosure. This written agreement shall in substance provide that such employee will not, during their employment by the contractor or thereafter, disclose to others or use for their own behalf, trade secrets, confidential information, or restricted data received in connection with the work under this contract. The agreement will acknowledge the employee is trained regarding handling proprietary information and discuss penalties for violations.

(i) If the contractor discovers an actual or potential OCI not previously considered and adequately mitigated under this clause and the Government-approved OCI Mitigation Plan, the contractor shall make a prompt and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer. This report shall include a description of the circumstances and the actions the contractor has taken or proposes to take to mitigate and avoid repetition of the violation. The contractor shall routinely monitor its proposed business development and shall discuss any real or perceived OCI issues with the Contracting Officer and affected customers to proactively resolve and/or mitigate those potential OCI issues. After conducting such further inquiries and discussions as may be necessary, the Contracting Officer and the contractor shall agree on appropriate corrective action, if any, or the Contracting Officer shall direct such action, subject to the terms of this contract.

(j) OCI violations are a significant contract performance issue. Violations of the OCI Mitigation Plan or this clause may have consequences ranging from award fee decrements, contract termination, suspension and debarment, or other appropriate remedies or administrative actions.

(k) The contractor shall include this clause in every subcontract, task order, or other agreements issued as a result of performing under a task order issued under this contract.

TSA IV-H012 AWARD OF TASK ORDERS ON A SMALL BUSINESS SET-ASIDE BASIS (JAN 2021,

AFLCMC/WNS)

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to small businesses. TSA IV scope has been set-aside for small business on a partial set-aside. The decision to set-aside a task order for small business will be based on the Contracting Officer’s determination whether a reasonable expectation exists that offers from two or more responsible small business concerns would be received and those offers would be competitive in terms of market prices, quality, and delivery.

Assignment of materialized requirements to either the unrestricted pool or small business pool shall be determined after market research by the Contracting Officer. Failure of small businesses to respond to market research inquiries may result in assignment of materialized requirements to the unrestricted pool.

In addition, TSA IV small businesses may submit a proposal for any unrestricted task order.

Awardees of individual task orders awarded on a small business set-aside basis are required to comply with the Section I clause 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2020-O0008). The concern must satisfy the requirement to perform at least 50% of the work on each individual task order awarded to the concern. All small businesses selected for a TSA IV ID/IQ contract will be eligible to propose on all task orders set-aside for small business. There will be no further breakout of task orders specific to a socio-economic contracting program.

The applicable NAICS codes and size standards are delineated below:

NAICS Code Size Standard Unrestricted Pool – 336413, 1,250 Employees Small Business Set-Aside Pool – 336413, 1,250 Employees

TSA IV-H013 SMALL BUSINESS OUTGROWS NAICS CODE (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

If a Small Business TSA IV prime contract holder “graduates” out of the NAICS Code standard, IAW FAR Part 19 and 13 CFR 121, during the TSA IV ID/IQ contract ordering period that company will be considered a large business prime in the Unrestricted Pool for the remainder of the TSA IV ID/IQ ordering period.

TSA IV-H014 SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION REQUIREMENT (JAN 2021, AFLCMC/WNS)

All awardees in the Unrestricted Pool will be responsible for meeting the Small Business Participation requirement of no less than 20% of the total value of each task order awarded under the TSA IV ID/IQ contract over the life of the contract. Small Business Participation is defined as work effort performed by a small business, whether as a Prime contractor or on a subcontractor basis. Both large and small businesses, regardless of whether or not they are required to submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan IAW FAR 52.219-9 Alt II or DFARS 252.219-7003, shall be required to submit a Small Business Commitment Participation Document for each task order solicitation as part of their task order proposal.

Large businesses shall describe how they will meet the requirement to subcontract at least 20% of the work to a small business concern. Small businesses submitting a proposal for a task order set-aside for Small Business shall describe how they will meet the requirement for…
