H102 TEAMING (NOV 2009) (TAILORED)

For purposes of this clause, a company is defined as a business entity with its own Taxpayer Identification Number.

1) A company cannot be a prime contract holder and a subcontractor to another prime contract holder within the same multiple award ID/IQ contract pool. A company that is a prime contractor in a Full & Open OR a Small Business

Companion contract pool may subcontract to a prime contractor(s) in the opposite contract pool (applies to NetOps

H103 ON RAMP (NOV 2009)

The Government intends to establish an awardee pool under the NETCENTS-2 effort. The Government will initially establish the awardee pool by competitively awarding multiple-award ID/IQ contracts. Initial awardees of the

NETCENTS-2 Application Services small business efforts will be awarded contracts with a base term of three (3) years, plus four one-year options (if exercised). The Government reserves the right to reopen competition at any time during the term of the contract to add additional contractors to the original pool of awardees.

When reopening competition, the Government will advertise via Hanscom AFB Electronic Request for Proposals Bulletin

Board (HERBB) and Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) and conduct a full and open competition to bring the awardee pool up to either the initial awardee pool or a greater number of awardees. Any awardee already in the awardee pool will not recompete for an awardee pool position. The On-Ramp competitions will use the same evaluation methodology and documentation (updated to reflect changes in regulatory provisions and commercial practices and certifications) as the original competition. Once a new awardee is selected, that awardee will be included in the awardee pool and will compete for future task orders. The ordering period for new contractors being added to the initial awardee pool will coincide with initial awardees ordering period, inclusive of options, but shall not extend the overall term of the contract beyond the original ordering period nor shall it reestablish the contract base period, inclusive of options.

H106 AVOIDANCE OF ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (NOV 2009)

ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (AUG 2002), the following additional terms and conditions apply and shall be incorporated in each task order issued under this contract:

1. The parties recognize that the Contractor will play a very visible and responsible role in the fulfillment of a broad and comprehensive spectrum of NETCENTS-2 requirements. This role creates access to information that is not available to the public, which: (1) might give the Contractor an unfair competitive advantage; and/or (2) creates an appearance that the Contractor has an unfair competitive advantage even if no such advantage actually exists. 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

L055 INFORMATION TO OFFERORS (ITO) AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION

(IFPP) (JAN 2010)

L1.0 PROGRAM STRUCTURE AND OBJECTIVES

See Section J, Performance Work Statement.

L2.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

(a) This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information stated herein and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Non conformance with the instructions provided may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation. All proposed technical, management, performance and schedule capabilities to meet the requirements shall be realistic and are subject to verification by the Government. The proposal shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the PWS and Solicitation/Model Contract. The proposal shall be unclassified.

(b) The offeror's proposal shall consist of the written submittal. All information provided by the offeror (as long as it is consistent with the constraints of this RFP, e.g., page limitations) is subject to evaluation as described in Section M. The Government will not award individual CLINs in the RFP to any one contractor, but shall award ALL CLINs. Proposals for a single CLIN, or group thereof, shall be rejected.

(c) The completion and submission of all proposal volumes constitutes the offeror's acceptance to the terms and conditions in this RFP and in any attachments thereto. Proposals shall be late IAW FAR

15.208 if they are not received by the date specified in L2.3, Proposal Format, paragraph (b).

(d) The Government may consider any offeror's exception to the terms and conditions in this RFP to be a deficiency, which may render the offer unacceptable.

L2.0.1 Proposal Clarity

The proposals shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the

Government's requirements, but shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contracts without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

L2.0.2 Proposal Acceptance Period

The offeror shall make a clear statement in the Contract Documentation Volume V that the proposal is valid for a period of not less than 365 days from receipt.

L2.0.3 Disposition of Unsuccessful Proposals

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain the original copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

L2.1 GENERAL INFORMATION

L2.1.1 Point of Contact

Mrs. Linda R. Lowmiller, PCO – NETCENTS-2 Application Services, is the point of contact for this acquisition. Address any questions or concerns to her. Written requests for clarification may be sent via e-mail to the PCO at linda.lowmiller@gunter.af.mil. Official RFP documentation, including RFP amendments, and other related information will be available on the Internet at http://public.gunter.af.mil/aq/netcents/2/ , HTTP://HERBB.HANSCOM.AF.MIL, and https://www.fbo.gov/.

L2.1.2 Debriefings

Pre-award notices of exclusion from competitive range: The contracting officer will notify offerors promptly in writing when their proposals are excluded from the competitive range or otherwise eliminated from the competition. IAW FAR 15.505, the offeror may request a pre-award debriefing by submitting a written request for debriefing to the contracting officer within 3 days after receipt of the notice of exclusion from the competition. At the offeror’s request, this debriefing may be delayed until after award. If the debriefing is delayed until after award, it shall include all information normally provided in a post-award debriefing (see 15.506(d)). The contracting officer shall make every effort to debrief the unsuccessful offeror as soon as practicable, but may refuse the request for a debriefing if, for compelling reasons, it is not in the best interests of the Government to conduct a debriefing at that time.

Post-award notices: Within 3 days after the date of contract award, the contracting officer will provide written notification to each offeror whose proposal was in the competitive range but was not selected for award or had not been previously notified. An offeror, upon its written request received by the agency within 3 days after the date on which that offeror has received notification of contract award in accordance with 15.503(b), shall be debriefed and furnished the basis for the selection decision and contract award.

To the maximum extent practicable, the debriefing should occur within 5 days after receipt of the written request. Offerors that requested a post-award debriefing in lieu of a pre-award debriefing, or whose debriefing was delayed for compelling reasons beyond contract award, also should be debriefed within this time period. An offeror that was notified of exclusion from the competition (see 15.505(a)), but failed to submit a timely request, is not entitled to a debriefing.

L2.1.3 Discrepancies

If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the PCO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the PCO to consider as related to the omission or error.
