GENERAL SERVICES ADMINISTRATION’S MISSION

To provide quality services required by our clients in a timely manner and to ensure the best value to the Federal Government and the public thereby enhancing our clients’ ability to accomplish their mission.

AFFIRMATIVE PROCUREMENT PROGRAM (APP)

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

See Section 00120 "Basis of Award" for the evaluation factors.

BOND REQUIREMENTS

If bonds are required, also note the requirements of the various bid guarantee and bond clauses in Section 00120. For example, a new performance bond is required if a contract option for an additional performance period is exercised.

SITE VISIT

Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where services are to be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable. In no event shall failure to inspect the site constitute grounds for a claim after contract award.

PRE-BID/PRE -PROPOSAL CONFERENCE

USE OF FEDERAL EXPRESS AND OTHER EXPRESS PACKAGE CARRIERS

Because of increased security standards and building renovations, “next-day” express package carriers may experience delays in making deliveries within the Chicago Loop Federal Center.

Offerors should take this fact into consideration when determining when to submit their offers.

SOLICITATION COPIES

Note that Block 13 of Standard Form 1442 specifies the number of copies of the offer that must be returned by offerors.

PROMPT PAYMENT DISCOUNT

Block 13 on the first page of the solicitation and possibly the solicitation pricing page(s), is to be used to offer prompt payment discounts. Payment terms are set forth in the Prompt Payment clause in this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned against inserting any statement that indicates that payment is due sooner that the time stipulated in the Prompt Payment clause. EXAMPLE:

Inserting "Net 20" may cause the offer to be rejected as unacceptable, because the entry would be contrary to the 30-day payment terms specified in the Prompt Payment clause.

VENDOR PAST PERFORMANCE SYSTEM

The General Services Administration, Public Buildings Service, Great Lakes Region, will be using the Vendor Past Performance system (VPP). VPP is a module within the PBS contract writing system that collects, maintains, and disseminates contractor performance information as required by Federal Acquisition Regulation, Subpart 42.15. In compliance with federal regulations, VPP data can be sent to the government's Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS).

NOTICE TO PROCEED (NTP)

Notice to Proceed (NTP) will NOT be issued until the COR has officially notified the CO that approved clearances for proposed employees have been received and approved by the Department of Homeland security, Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Federal Protective Service (DHS, BICE, FPS).

SHALL vs MUST Throughout this solicitation, the terms “shall” and “must “ are used. “Shall” and “must” denote the imperative. They indicate an obligation to act. In this solicitation, and any resulting contract, “shall” and “must” have the same meaning.

CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (CCR)

In accordance with FAR Parts 1, 2, 4, 13, 32, and 52 and effective October 1, 2003 contractors must be registered in the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database prior to award of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement. No award will be made to any contractor not registered in CCR. This is one of the steps the Federal Government is taking to streamline the acquisition process. In an effort to broaden use and reliance upon e-business applications, the CCR was established to eliminate the need to maintain paper-based sources of contractor information.

The Central Contractor Registration (CCR) System is a centrally located, searchable database, accessible via the Internet to develop, maintain, and provide sources for future procurements.

The CCR data is the most up to date and complete data available. As a single validated source of data on contractors doing business with the Government, the CCR database enables prospective contractors to update their information in one place via a website (http://www.ccr.gov). The information is then available via the Internet. Following agency procedures, Contracting Officers will now be able to access contractor data and industry information less expensively, and more efficiently identify sources for contracting opportunities. The CCR will not create a total electronic commerce environment, but will help provide a basic framework or foundation that will allow migration to a total electronic commerce environment. Registration with CCR is valuable to you as a prospective contractor since it will be used for market research by thousands of government buyers and program personnel searching for potential providers of specific goods and services.

You will be required to complete a one-time business registration, with annual updates. As a part of the registration process you will need to provide your DUNS identification number. If you do not have a DUNS number you may contact Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. at (800) 333-0505. You may register in the CCR via the World Wide Web at http://www.ccr.gov. There is a CCR handbook available at this site to assist you with your registration. Additionally, if further assistance is needed during the registration process, you may contact the CCR Assistance Center toll free at 888-227-2423.

GENERAL

1.1. FAR 52.202-1 DEFINITIONS (JUL 2004)

(a) When a solicitation provision or contract clause uses a word or term that is defined in the Federal Acqui-sition Regulation (FAR), the word or term has the same meaning as the definition in FAR 2.101 in effect at the time the solicitation was issued, unless—

(1) The solicitation, or amended solicitation, provides a different definition;

(2) The contracting parties agree to a different definition;

(3) The part, subpart, or section of the FAR where the provision or clause is prescribed provides a differ-ent meaning; or

(4) The word or term is defined in FAR Part 31, for use in the cost principles and procedures.

(b) The FAR Index is a guide to words and terms the FAR defines and shows where each definition is lo-cated. The FAR Index is available via the Internet at http:// www.acqnet.gov at the end of the FAR, after the FAR Appendix.

1.2. FAR 52.204-7 CENTRAL CONTRACTOR REGISTRATION (AUG 2008)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause—

“Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database” means the primary Government repository for Contractor information required for the conduct of business with the Government.

“Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number” means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

“Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number” means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.) This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional CCR records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

“Registered in the CCR database” means that—

(1) The Contractor has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, into the CCR database; and

(2) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and has marked the record “Active”.

The Contractor will be required to provide consent for TIN validation to the Government as a part of the CCR registration process.

(b)

(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) 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 exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the CCR database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number—

(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and ZIP Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in the time prescribed by the

Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering.

Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.

(f) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from the Government’s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(g)

(1)

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the CCR database; (B) comply with the requirements of Subpart 42.12 of the FAR; and

(C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting

Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name.

(ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(2) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(h) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at http://www.ccr.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

The Contracting Officer may, at any time during the performance of this contract, vest in any such authorized representatives additional power and au-thority to act for him or designate additional representatives, specifying the extent of their authority to act for him; a copy of each document vesting additional authority in an authorized representative or designat-ing an additional authorized representative shall be furnished to the Contractor.

(b) The Contractor shall perform the contract in accordance with any order (including but not limited to in-struction, direction, interpretation, or determination) issued by an authorized representative in accor-dance with his authority to act for the Contracting Officer; but the Contractor assumes all the risk and consequences of performing the contract in accordance with any order (including but not limited to in-struction, direction, interpretation, or determination) of anyone not authorized to issue such order.

The Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the delivery schedule or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified, in writing, accord-ingly, if--

(1) The stop-work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the Contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and

(2) The Contractor asserts its rights to an adjustment within 30 days after the end of the period of work stoppage; provided that if the Contracting Officer decides the facts justify the action, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a proposal at any time before final payment under the contract.
