On line training is available at http://www.wawftraining.com unless unable to do so. Use the following data elements to invoice for services or supplies procured via task orders under this contract. The award document number is located in the lower right-hand corner.

Vouchers for Cost-Type CLINs. In accordance with DFARS 242.803(b), DCAA will be the authorized representative of the contracting officer for:

• Receiving vouchers

• Approving interim vouchers

• Authorizing direct submission of interim vouchers for provisional payment to the disbursing office

• Issuing DCAA Forms 1, "Notice of Contract Costs Suspended and/or Disapproved."

DCAA Determination of Contractor Eligibility for Direct Billing Authority. DCAA may evaluate the contractor's Billing System and determine the contractor's eligibility for direct billing authority. Criteria for eligibility are described in DCAAP 7641.90 “Information for Contractors”, available at http://www.dcaa.mil. After approving the contractor's billing system and authorizing direct submission of interim vouchers, DCAA notifies the contractor that it may submit cost vouchers, (except first and completion/final vouchers) direct to the DFAS payment office. The first and final voucher must go to the DCMA Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) for approval. If DCAA withdraws direct billing authorization, DCAA will notify the contractor, the ACO, and the DFAS payment office, and will direct the contractor to submit vouchers to DCAA for review and approval. Contractors not determined to be eligible for direct billing are required to submit interim vouchers to DCAA for approval.

Invoices for Firm-Fixed Price CLINs. The ACO will be delegated responsibility by the PCO for reviewing and approving invoices for firm-fixed price CLIN’s, in which case the contractor shall submit firm-fixed price invoices directly to the ACO, who will in-turn forward them to DFAS. As such, all contractors when inputting invoices for Firm-Fixed Price CLINs shall use WAWF INVOICE 2-in-1 and use S1109A as both the Inspect By and Service Acceptor."

Cost for performing work set forth on one CLIN/SLIN shall not be allowable under any other CLIN/SLIN.

The contract number and Delivery/Task Order number shall appear on all work accomplished and on all invoices in WAWF. When submitting invoices for FFP task orders, contractors shall submit as 2-in-1 invoices. When invoicing for cost type task orders contractors shall input as Cost vouchers.

G.3 Quick Closeout Procedures. (also reference 52.216-7) In efforts to expedite contract closeout, the Contracting Officer responsible for contract closeout may use the quick-closeout procedure to negotiate the settlement of indirect costs for a specific task order in advance of the determination of final contract cost IAW Criteria for Quick Closeout, FAR 42.708. Contractors shall support all Contracting Activities in an effort to ensure quick closeouts.

Management oversight that does not facilitate quick closeout may be reflected in CPARS under the Cost Control evaluation factor. As part of the negotiated fixed price or total estimated amount of this contract, both the Government and the Contractor have agreed to waive any entitlement that otherwise might accrue to either party in any residual dollar amount of $250 or less at the time of final contract closeout. The term "residual dollar amount" shall include all money that would otherwise be owed to either party at the end of the contract, except that, amounts connected in any way with taxation, allegations of fraud and/or antitrust violations shall be excluded. For purposes of determining residual dollar amounts, offsets of money owed by one party against money that would otherwise be paid by that party may be considered to the extent permitted by law. This agreement to waive entitlement to residual dollar amounts has been considered by both parties. It is agreed that the administrative costs for either party associated with collecting such small dollar amounts could exceed the amount to be recovered.

G.4 Travel-Cost Reimbursable: Travel cost will be based on estimated costs per the Federal Acquisition Regulation FAR Part 31.205-46. Cost estimates will be based on number of trips, number of personnel, and location Per Diem Rate as posted on https://secureapp2.hqda.pentagon.mil/perdiem/ per individual Task Order.

During the performance period of the contract, the contractor shall:

(1) Return CACs in accordance with local policy/directives within 7 working days of a change in status for contractor personnel who no longer require logical or physical access;

(2) Return CACs in accordance with local policy/directives within 7 working days following a CACs expiration date;

(3) Report lost or stolen CACs in accordance with local policy/directives.

(4) Within 7 working days following completion/termination of the contract, the contractor shall return all CACs issued to their personnel to the issuing office or the location specified by local policy/directives.

H.6 ORDERING PROCEDURES

General. This contract is designed to meet the wide and varied needs of USSOCOM. As such, FFP and CPFF types of task orders may be awarded hereunder. The Government will determine the most appropriate task order contract type for each effort. The Government may unilaterally deviate from these procedures at any time as required. The Government intends to award initial contract solicitation task orders based on task proposals submitted with the contract proposal shortly after the prime awards are made and further discussions are not anticipated for these initial awards,. The basis of award of the initial RFP task orders will be in accordance with H.6.3 and based only on the CPFF contract type. The Contractor shall normally have 25 days to submit their proposals, unless a) a longer timeframe is specified in the request for task order proposal, or b) it is an urgent requirement as addressed below in H.6.1 or c) the Government determines that the task order does not require a 25 day time period to submit a valid proposal. Accordingly, the amount of time for proposal submission will be 25 days for each task order unless so identified in the instructions to offerors (ITOs).

Except for proposals submitted in response to the Request For Proposal, contractors may submit an alternative contract type in proposals submitted in response to ITOs. The Contractor shall fully explain the terms and conditions, as well as price benefits to the Government, in its alternate proposal. The Government may or may not consider the alternate approach. The Contractor shall perform in accordance with the awarded task order including all terms and conditions of the basic contract and any additional specific information awarded at the task order level.

Task orders may include option year periods. The process for exercising task order options are included below under task order procedures.

H. 6.1 Government Requests for Task Order Proposals Content and Transmission. When the Government has a requirement for work to be performed, the Contracting Officer will issue an Invitation to Offer (ITO). The ITO will include:

(1) Statement of Objectives or other document that describes the Government’s requirements;

(2) the desired performance period, and;

(3) any other information considered to be of assistance to the Contractor in preparing a proposal.

The ITO may be written or oral, and may be transmitted by any means including the mail, Internet, e-mail, telephone, or face-to-face. The standard method of transmission, however, shall be e-mail, via Internet in writing unless otherwise requested by the Contracting Officer. The task order ITO shall not obligate the Government to issue task orders under this contract, nor shall it authorize the Contractor to perform any work pursuant to such requests for proposal prior to the Contractor’s receipt of an authorized Notice to Proceed or issuance of formal task order DD 1155.

Urgent Requirements. In the event of an urgent requirement, the Contractor shall provide a written proposal within the timeframe specified by the Contracting Officer in the specified format.

H.6.2 Submission of Task order Proposals Standard Requirements. Contractors shall submit a proposal for every requirement solicited without conflict unless granted a waiver in advance by the Contracting Officer. If the Contractor has reason to request a waiver, but is not granted a waiver by the Contracting Officer in advance, the Contractor shall submit a detailed statement of reason for a waiver to the Contracting Officer within 2 days of task order RFP receipt.

Proposal Content. Proposals shall normally consist of a task order technical/management proposal, a pricing proposal, and a Proposed Performance Work Statement (PWS). If an subject matter expert, specialist, or technical expert is proposed by name in order to provide services under the task order, a resume should be provided in the technical/management proposal. Additionally, ITOs may specifically require the submission of certain resumes.

Proposals will be reviewed by the Government and used as a basis for any required negotiations or discussions and the subsequent issuance of a task order. All task order proposals shall contain any and all information required to conduct an overall task order evaluation, including all details related to price or cost as applicable. Unless otherwise specified in the RFP, proposals shall contain the overall proposed approach to meeting the details of the SOO, including a proposed Performance Work Statement with performance metrics and pricing information described below. Though past performance on current task orders by each offeror will be considered in the overall evaluation of new competitive task orders, no past performance information will be required as a submission by the offerors at the task order level. During the initial task order evaluations, since current task order past performance has not yet been demonstrated, all prime offerors will be given a neutral rating.

Task Order Technical/Management Proposals shall contain the following information:

• An overall discussion of the Contractor’s Task Order Management approach (technical and management information as required) to meet the proposed PWS solution including performance measurements and exit criteria for task order completion. The Contractor shall demonstrate the offerors understanding of the task to be performed. The proposal shall include at a minimum the labor categories/skill levels required, labor hours per category, and basis for the proposed hours which were utilized to develop the Offeror’s price offer.

• The place of performance associated with proposed solution. If the Government provides information that indicates that they desire the work to be performed on site, but the Contractor can provide an alternative solution off-site, the Contractors shall address risk mitigation information to deliver the services required in the proper environment to protect and share data as required.

• Travel. Offerors shall provide the basis of estimate for any travel costs included in the price proposal. In addition, the offeror shall identify any unique Government furnished property/materials/data required for performance if not already identified in the ITO.

• Innovation. Offerors shall provide a clear explanation regarding proposed innovative approaches being recommended to the Government to improve productivity/ efficiency to include a discussion of how the approach meets/exceeds the Performance Based Service Contract requirements and proposes measurable deliverables that benefit the Government.

If specific subject matter expertise/Key Personnel are required to meet the Government requirement, this information shall be provided by the government at the task order level, the Offerors shall then also provide:

• Proposed personnel individual’s qualification summaries/certifications/resume

• Rationale for the personnel, knowledge and skill levels proposed

Performance Work Statement. When requested by the Government, offerors shall propose a PWS. The PWS shall be performance-based IAW FAR 37.602 to the maximum extent practical for the requirement. Offerors will include the task order SDS table from the SOO in all PWS submissions. The SDS performance metrics/thresholds will be completed by each contractor for each task order. Contractors may also add or provide explanation for deletion of metrics/SDS items for consideration that are applicable to that specific task order. The proposed performance standards establish the performance level required by the Government to meet the contract requirements. The standards shall be measurable and structured to permit an assessment of the contractor’s performance. The Government will evaluate the Contractors proposed performance standards in response to a SOO to determine if they meet the Government’s needs.

Cost/Price Each price proposal should clearly indicate the appropriate Section B CLIN. If the Government directs the use of the cost reimbursable travel CLIN in the ITO, then all travel costs will be proposed separately. ITOs for each task order will inform offerors of the contract type required.

FFP Task Orders: The Offerors are to provide a total price for each FFP task order. Price shall be inclusive of all direct (i.e., direct labor and ODC) and associated indirect costs plus fee related to the task order.

Proposed price shall be identified by base and option periods, if applicable.

Cost Task Orders: The Offerors shall provide information other than cost or pricing data. The Contractor shall show a clear buildup of all direct and indirect costs being proposed. The contractor shall negotiate forward pricing rate agreements (FPRA) with DCMA for purposes of proposing task orders. Proposed indirect rates and direct labor rates shall be based upon the contractor FPRA unless approval to use alternate rates is obtained from the Contracting Officer prior to proposal receipt.

H.6.3 Government Evaluation of Task Order Proposals Upon receipt of the proposals, the Contracting Officer and the requiring activity will analyze the proposals and, if acceptable, issue a task order to the contractor whose offer provides the best value to the Government as described in the ITO.

Negotiations or discussions may be conducted prior to issuance of any task order. The standard evaluation criteria for task orders will include technical approach as detailed in the PWS (if required) and approach to meeting PWS (management proposal), proposed cost/price (basic and all option years) and past performance (SPECIALTY SERVICES task orders), unless other criteria is specifically stated in the ITO.

Upon receipt of the proposal(s), the Contracting Officer may:

• Open discussions or negotiate with all or some contractors providing proposals

• issue a task order based upon the original proposal(s) furnished;

• reject the proposal(s), or

• cancel the requirement.

Task orders shall be issued on DD Form 1155 "Order for Supplies and Services;" (or similar form) and sent electronically to the contractor. Task order shall be consecutively numbered, dated and shall include supporting documents as applicable. If no offer is determined acceptable or the Government cancels the requirement, the Government will notify all Offerors of the cancellation.

Deviation H.6.3: Following contract award(s) the Government will determine the best value of the initial task orders, based on the task order proposals and discussions conducted (if conducted) during the overall contract source selection. For each task order, Technical approach, and Task order Management are significantly more important than price.

H.6.4 Authorization to Proceed on Task Orders In time-critical circumstances, after award and prior to the Contractor’s receipt of the contractual instrument, the Contracting Officer may direct the Contractor to commence performance of the task in writing, verbally, or electronically. In no case shall the Contractor commence work without explicit approval from the Contracting Officer.

H.6.5 Option exercises at Task order level will be accomplished in accordance with FAR subpart 17.207 and Section H of this contract. Task order option periods will be outlined in each task order ITO.

H.6.6 Task Order Completion Within ninety (90) days after the completion of task orders, an authorized representative of the contractor shall certify in writing to the Contracting Officer that the task order is completely billed, remaining dollars of said amount can be de-obligated (if applicable) and all deliverables have been received and accepted by the Government. This information will be used as part of the final required documentation for contract closeout. The final closeout proposal shall include itemized Accounting Classification Reference Number (ACRN) de-obligations at the CLIN level per task order. This clause applies to all task order types, with the exception of final billing for cost type task orders.

Although there are no mandatory contractual requirements to subcontract to AbilityOne firms, the Government is offering an incentive to encourage the prime contractor to provide subcontracting opportunities to AbilityOne. For each percentage point or fraction thereof subcontracted to an AbilityOne firm, the prime contractor shall receive a corresponding 2 for 1 credit towards their total Small Business goal for the next reporting period. For example, if AbilityOne receives 1% of the total subcontracted dollars under this contract during the base period of the contract, then the prime contractor will receive 2% credit towards their total subcontracting goal.

H.9 ASSOCIATE CONTRACTORS

The contractor shall enter into Associate Contractor Agreements (ACAs) for any portion of the contract requiring joint participation in the accomplishment of the Government's requirement, in particular those services listed in Attachment entitled “Performance Work Statement (PWS) Specialty Services”. The agreements shall include the basis for sharing information, data, technical knowledge, expertise, and/or resources essential to the integration of the USSOCOM Special Operations Forces Information Environment (SIE), which shall ensure the greatest degree of cooperation for the development of the Information Technology Management Office (ITMO) to meet the terms of the contract. The ACAs shall also facilitate collaboration, communication, and coordination to ensure attainment of the ITMO’s objectives. ACAs shall include the following general information:

1. Identification of the associate contractors and their relationships.

2. Identification of the services involved and the relevant Government contracts of the associate contractors.

3. Description of the associate contractor interfaces by general subject matter.

4. Specification of the categories of information to be exchanged or support to be provided.

5. Expiration date (or event) of the ACA.

6. Identification of potential conflicts between relevant Government contracts and the ACA

7. Agreements on protection of proprietary data and restrictions on employees.

A copy of each ACA agreement shall be provided to the Contracting Officer (CO) for review before execution of the document by the cooperating contractors. The contractor is not relieved of any contract requirements or entitled to any adjustments to the contract terms because of a failure to resolve a disagreement with an associate contractor.

Liability for the improper disclosure of any proprietary data contained in or referenced by any agreement shall rest with the parties to the agreement, and not the Government. All costs associated with the agreements are included in the negotiated cost of this contract.

H.10 CONTRACTOR SUPPORT IN WAR

The Government may direct the contractor to perform in support of a war, contingency, or exercise, as provided by law or defined by the applicable Service Component Command. Additionally, the Contractor shall be responsible for performing all functions of this contract during any declaration by the United States or any of the countries listed below, of a state of emergency, or during internal strife, rioting, civil disturbances, or perils of any other type until released by the Contracting Officer. Contractor personnel under this contract are considered emergency essential civilians (EEC) unless designated otherwise by the Contracting Officer.

H.11 Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) and Protecting and Handling Proprietary Information

(a) The work to be performed by the contractor under this contract is of such a nature that it may create an OCI as contemplated and defined by Subpart 9.5 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). The contractor (as defined in paragraph (c) below) shall not engage in contract activities which may impair its ability to render unbiased advice and recommendations, or in which it may gain an unfair competitive advantage as a result of the knowledge, information and experience gained during the performance of this contract.

(b) Prior to subcontracting work under this contract the contractor shall determine if the proposed subcontractor is performing work under other SITEC unit-based service areas. If it is determined that the proposed subcontractor is performing work the contractor shall submit a mitigation plan for Contracting Officer (CO) review and approval prior to awarding a subcontract.

(c) The term "contractor" herein used means:

(1) The organization entering into this contract with the Government;

(2) All business organizations with which it merges, joins or affiliates, now or in the future, and in any manner whatsoever, or which hold or may obtain, by purchase or otherwise, direct or indirect control of;

(3) Its parent organization (if any), and any of its present or future affiliates, associates, affiliates; and,

(4) Any organization or enterprise over which it has direct or indirect control (now or in the future).

(5) Subcontractors at any tier.

(d) “Affiliates” means concerns and entities where one controls or has the power to control the other or a third party or parties’ controls or has the power to control both. It does not matter whether control is exercised, so long as the power to control exists.

(e) Government representatives shall have access to the contractor's premises and the right to inspect all pertinent books and records in order to insure that the contractor is in compliance with Subpart 9.5 of the FAR and this provision.

(f) If the contractor, after award, discovers a potential OCI, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the CO. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions the contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid or mitigate the conflict.

(g) The Government may waive application of this clause when it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to do so.

Protecting and Handling Proprietary Information

(a) During contract performance the contractor may, either directly or through the Government, receive proprietary technical data and computer software (hereafter “proprietary information") of other contractors. The contractor shall protect such proprietary information with the same caution that a reasonably prudent contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. Proprietary information shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed in whole or in part, without prior written permission of the Government, for any purpose other than to perform this contract. This restriction does not limit the contractor's right to use, duplicate or disclose such information if such information was lawfully obtained by the contractor from other sources.

(b) The contractor shall enter into written agreements with all companies whose proprietary information it receives.

In addition, the contractor shall obtain individual non-disclosure agreements from all employees who have access to such data. The contractor shall furnish to the CO copies of these written agreements.

(c) The contractor shall include this provision, including this paragraph, in subcontracts of any tier which involve access to information covered in paragraph (a) above. The use of this clause in such subcontracts shall be read by substituting the word "subcontractor" for the word "contractor" wherever the latter appears.

H.12 DIRECT SUPPORT LIMITATION

In the course of business, situations may arise where Government facilities may not be available for performance of the task order requirements (i.e., base closure due to weather, Force Protection conditions, etc.) and in these cases contract clause 5652.216-9005 applies. There may also be occasions when Government support contractors are invited to participate in morale and recreational activities (i.e., holiday parties and barbeques, door decorating, golf outings, command runs, fitness activities, sports days and other various social events). Under these circumstances, when labor hours are being billed, these hours may not be directly charged to this contract and contractor employees must comply with individual company policy that is in accordance with that company’s compensation system. In accordance with FAR 37.104(b) personal service contracts are prohibited. The Government does not have an employer/employee relationship with contractor employees and therefore is not authorized to grant administrative leave or expend Government resources to compensate contractor employees for hours expended on activities not included in the PWS.

H.13 -FAIR OPPORTUNITY EXCEPTIONS

IAW FAR 16.505, Ordering, all multiple award Contractors shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each order in excess of $2,500 pursuant to the procedures established in this section, unless the contracting officer determines that:

• The agency’s need for the services or supplies is of such urgency that providing such opportunity to all such Contractors would result in unacceptable delays;

• Only one such Contractor is capable of providing the services or supplies at the level of quality required because the services or supplies ordered are unique or highly specialized;

• The task/delivery order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy or efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued order under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity pursuant to the procedures in this clause to be considered for the original order; or

• It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

It is the Government’s intent to ensure Fair Opportunity by focusing on task order level competition and robust subcontracting opportunities to the fullest extent possible in order to accomplish the Commander’s goals providing the highest quality services at the most fair and reasonable prices throughout the entire contract period of performance.

JCC-I/A CLAUSE 952.225-0004 COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS AND REGULATIONS (JAN 2010)

(d) Contractor employees performing in the USCENTCOM Area of Responsibility (AOR) may be subject to the jurisdiction of overlapping criminal codes, including, but not limited to, the Military Extraterritorial Jurisdiction Act (18 U.S.C. Sec. 3261, et al) (MEJA), the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 U.S.C. Sec. 801, et al)(UCMJ), and the laws of the Host Nation. Non-US citizens may also be subject to the laws of their home country while performing in the USCENTCOM AOR. Contractor employee status in these overlapping criminal jurisdictions may be modified from time to time by the United States, the Host Nation, or by applicable status of forces agreements.

(e) Under MEJA, a person who engages in felony misconduct outside the United States while employed by or accompanying the Armed Forces is subject to arrest, removal and prosecution in United States federal courts. Under the UCMJ, a person serving with or accompanying the Armed Forces in the field during a declared war or contingency operation may be disciplined for a criminal offense, including by referral of charges to a General Court Martial. Contractor employees may be ordered into confinement or placed under conditions that restrict movement within the AOR or administratively attached to a military command pending resolution of a criminal investigation.

(f) Contractors shall immediately notify military law enforcement and the Contracting Officer if they suspect an employee has committed an offense. Contractors shall take any and all reasonable and necessary measures to secure the presence of an employee suspected of a serious felony offense. Contractors shall not knowingly facilitate the departure of an employee suspected of a serious felony offense or violating the Rules for the Use of Force to depart Iraq or Afghanistan without approval from the senior U.S. commander in the country.
