II. INFORMATION FOR ORDERING ACTIVITIES APPLICABLE TO ALL SPECIAL ITEM NUMBERS

SPECIAL NOTICE TO AGENCIES: Small Business Participation SBA strongly supports the participation of small business concerns in the Federal Supply Schedules Program. To enhance Small Business Participation SBA policy allows agencies to include in their procurement base and goals, the dollar value of orders expected to be placed against the Federal Supply Schedules, and to report accomplishments against these goals.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, FAR 8.404 requires agencies to consider the catalogs/pricelists of at least three schedule contractors or consider reasonably available information by using the GSA Advantage!on-line shopping service (www.gsaadvantage.gov). The catalogs/pricelists, GSA Advantage!and the Federal Supply Service Home Page (www.fss.gsa.gov ) contain information on a broad array of products and services offered by small business concerns.

This information should be used as a tool to assist ordering activities in meeting or exceeding established small business goals. It should also be used as a tool to assist in including small, small disadvantaged, and women-owned small businesses among those considered when selecting pricelists for a best value determination.

For orders exceeding the micropurchase threshold, customers are to give preference to small business concerns when two or more items at the same delivered price will satisfy their requirement.

1. Geographic Scope of Contract: Worldwide

Domestic delivery is delivery within the 48 contiguous states, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, Washington, DC and U.S. Territories. Domestic delivery also includes a port or consolidation point, within the aforementioned areas, for orders received from overseas activities.

Installation, Deinstallation, Reinstallation The Davis-Bacon Act (40 U.S.C. 276a-276a-7) provides that contracts in excess of $2,000 to which the United States or the District of Columbia is a party for construction, alteration, or repair (including painting and decorating) of public buildings or public works with the United States, shall contain a clause that no laborer or mechanic employed directly upon the site of the work shall receive less than the prevailing wage rates as determined by the Secretary of Labor. The requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act do not apply if the construction work is incidental to the furnishing of supplies, equipment, or services. For example, the requirements do not apply to simple installation or alteration of a public building or public work that is incidental to furnishing supplies or equipment under a supply contract. However, if the construction, alteration or repair is segregable and exceeds $2,000, then the requirements of the Davis-Bacon Act apply.

The ordering activity issuing the task order against this contract will be responsible for proper administration and enforcement of the Federal labor standards covered by the Davis-Bacon Act. The proper Davis-Bacon wage determination will be issued by the ordering activity at the time a request for quotations is made for applicable construction classified installation, deinstallation, and reinstallation services under SIN 132-8.

III. TERMS AND CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO COMMERCIAL SATELLITE COMMUNICATIONS (COMSATCOM) SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES (SPECIAL ITEM NUMBER 132-55)

1. COMSATCOM CAPACITY AND COVERAGE. The Ordering Activity shall specify the capacity and coverage required as part of the initial requirement.

2. INFORMATION ASSURANCE.

a. The Ordering Activity is responsible for ensuring to the maximum extent practicable that each requirement issued is in compliance with either the Committee on National Security Systems Policy (CNSSP) 12, “National Information Assurance Policy for Space Systems used to Support National Security Missions,” or the Department of Defense Directive (DoDD) 8581.1, “Information Assurance (IA) Policy for Space Systems Used by the Department of Defense.”

b. The Ordering Activity shall assign an impact level (per Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 200 (FIPS 200), “Minimum Security Requirements for Federal Information and Information Systems”) or MAC level (per DoD Instruction (DoDI) 8500.2, “Information Assurance Implementation) prior to issuing the initial statement of work. Evaluations shall consider the extent to which each proposed service accommodates the necessary security controls based upon the assigned impact level or MAC, command encryption/authentication, and other requirements in CNSSP 12 or DODD 8581.1. The Contractor awarded SIN 132-55 is capable of meeting at least the minimum security requirements assigned against a low-impact information system (per FIPS 200) or Mission Assurance Category (MAC) III system (per DoDI 8500.2).

c. The Ordering Activity reserves the right to independently evaluate, audit, and verify the IA compliance for any proposed or awarded COMSATCOM services. All IA certification, accreditation, and evaluation activities are the responsibility of the ordering activity.

3. DELIVERY SCHEDULE. The Ordering Activity shall specify the delivery schedule as part of the initial requirement. The Delivery Schedule options are found in Information for Ordering Activities Applicable to All Special Item Numbers, paragraph 6. Delivery Schedule.

4. PORTABILITY. When an Ordering Activity requires portability, this requirement shall be included as part of the initial requirement. When portability is exercised, evidence of equivalent net present value (NPV) shall be provided by the contractor. Ordering Activities may propose additional terms and conditions within the requirement (example: specific predefined, guaranteed terms and conditions for portability and related services). However, if the supplemental terms and conditions contradict the contract, the contract takes precedence. Portability provides the Ordering Activity the ability to relocate or “port,” COMSATCOM Services resources as user requirements change. Descriptions of portability may include moving from one transponder/satellite to another, one managed service area to another, transponded capacity redeployment between beams or transponders on a single satellite, redeployment from one frequency band to another, physical relocation of a satellite to a new orbital position, re-routing of teleport services from one teleport to another predefined teleport, re-routing of traffic from one terrestrial infrastructure to another predefined infrastructure, and movement of Network Operations Center (NOC) services from one NOC to another NOC.

5. FLEXIBILITY/OPTIMIZATION. When an Ordering Activity requires re-grooming resources for spectral, operational, or price efficiencies, this requirement shall be included as part of the initial requirement. When flexibility/optimization is exercised, evidence of equivalent net present value (NPV) shall be provided by the contractor. Ordering Activities may propose additional terms and conditions within the requirement (example: specific pre-defined, guaranteed terms and conditions for re-grooming). However, if the supplemental terms and conditions contradict the contract, the contract takes precedence. Flexibility/optimization/re-grooming allows the Contractor to redistribute resources currently used to provide COMSATCOM Services (example: space segment, network, teleport, terminal resources) or customers sharing the COMSATCOM Services resources (example: customer one with typical peak usage at 9:00 a.m. and customer two with typical peak usage at 3:30 p.m.), enabling the Ordering Activity to gain spectral, operational, and/or price efficiencies.

6. NET READY (INTEROPERABILITY). When an Ordering Activity requires interoperability, this requirement shall be included as part of the initial requirement. Interfaces may be identified as interoperable on the basis of participation in a sponsored program acceptable to the Ordering Activity. Any such access or interoperability with teleports/gateways and provisioning of enterprise service access will be defined in the individual requirement.

7. NETWORK MONITORING (NET OPS). The Ordering Activity shall specify the Network Monitoring (Net Ops) collection and delivery requirements (example: format, frequency) as part of the initial statement of work. The Contractor awarded SIN 132-55 is capable of collecting and delivering the near real-time monitoring, fault/incident/outage reporting, and information access required to ensure effective and efficient operations, performance, and availability consistent with commercial best practices. Ordering Activities may propose additional terms and conditions within the requirement (example: specific pre-defined terms and conditions for Net Ops collection and delivery.) However, if the supplemental terms and conditions contradict the contract, the contract takes precedence.

8. EMI/RFI IDENTIFICATION, CHARACTERIZATION, AND GEO-LOCATION. When an Ordering Activity requires Electro Magnetic Interference (EMI) / Radio Frequency Interference (RFI) identification, characterization, and geo-location, it shall be included as part of the initial requirement. The Ordering Activity shall establish and use with the Contractor a mutually agreed upon media and voice communications capability capable of protecting “Sensitive, but Unclassified” data.

9. SECURITY. The Ordering Activity is responsible for assigning the personnel and facility clearance levels for each requirement. If required, the Ordering Activity is responsible for issuing the appropriate security forms (e.g., a DD-254) for any special clearance requirements and indoctrinations, such as Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI). Ordering Activities shall ensure the Contractor “masks” or “protects” Ordering Activity customers against unauthorized release of identifying information to any entity that could compromise the customer’s operations security. Identifying information includes but is not limited to personal user and/or unit information including tail numbers, unit names, unit numbers, individual names, individual contact numbers, street addresses, etc.

10. THIRD PARTY BILLING FOR COMSATCOM SUBSCRIPTION SERVICES. The Ordering Activity shall make every effort to educate the terminal owners or operators on usage of the approved network infrastructure to avoid third party charges.

11. ADDITIONAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

c. The Ordering Activity is responsible for determining the number of approaches each Contractor may offer in response to a statement of work.

d. If guidance is required, Ordering Activities may contact the GSA Satellite Communications Services Program Management Office, satserv@gsa.gov.

e. For each Subscription Service requirement, the Ordering Activity shall negotiate with the Contractor any required Committed Information Rates (CIR). CIR is the average dedicated bandwidth data transfer rate (example: megabits per second) for an individual COMSATCOM Subscription Services network that the Contractor commits to delivering over a period of time. The Contractor may exceed the CIR if the network has capacity at any time.
