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).

FAIR OPPORTUNITY EXCEPTIONS

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 $3,000 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; or

• 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.

5652.204-9003 Disclosure of Unclassified Information (2007)

a. On September 21, 2001, the Department of Defense designated Headquarters US Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) a sensitive unit, as defined by Title 10 United States Code (USC) Section 130b (10 USC 130b). In keeping with this designation, unclassified information related to USSOCOM military technology acquisitions managed by USSOCOM or any of its component commands, will be designated Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI). As such, the contractor hereby unequivocally agrees that it shall not release to anyone outside the Contractor’s organization any unclassified information, regardless of medium (e.g., film, tape, document, contractor’s external website, newspaper, magazine, journal, corporate annual report, etc.), pertaining to any part of this contract or any program related to this contract, unless the Contracting Officer has given prior written approval.

Furthermore, any release of information which associates USSOCOM, Special Operation Forces (SOF), or any component command with an acquisition program, contractor, or this contract is prohibited unless specifically authorized by USSOCOM.

b. Request for approval shall identify the specific information to be released, the medium to be used, and the purpose for the release. The contractor shall submit the request to the Contracting Officer at least 45 days before the propose date for release for approval. No release of any restricted information shall be made without specific written authorization by the Contracting Office.

c. The Contractor shall include a similar requirement in each subcontract under this contract. Subcontractors shall submit request for authorization to release through the prime contractor to the Contracting Officer.

d. The Contractor further understands that Title 18 USC Section 701 specifically prohibits the use of the USSOCOM emblem or logo in any medium (e.g., corporate website, marketing brochure, news paper, magazine, etc.) unless authorized in writing by USSOCOM. Forward any request to use the USSOCOM emblem or logo through the Contracting Officer.

5652.216-9005 Government Down Time for Various Reasons (2005)

From time to time Government installations may be closed in response to an unforeseen emergency or similar occurrence, or by order of the President, Secretary of Defense, or installation commander. Designated emergencies include, but are not limited to, adverse weather such as snow or flood, an act of God such as a tornado or earthquake, acts of war or terrorism, computer failures, or a base disaster such as a natural gas leak or fire.

(a) Under such designated emergencies or other ordered base closures, contractor personnel will not be allowed on the Government installation unless specifically approved by the Contracting Officer in accordance with installation policies and procedures. If an emergency requiring installation closure occurs while contractor personnel are on the installation, contractor personnel shall promptly secure all government furnished property appropriately and evacuate in an expedient but safe manner unless otherwise directed by the Contracting Officer.

(b) If the installation closure causes a delay in the work required by the contract, the Government may:

(i) grant a time extension in each task order delayed by the closure equal to the time of the closure, subject to the availability of funds.

(ii) terminate the work or a portion of the work.

(iii) reschedule the work on any day satisfactory to both parties.

(iv) permit the contractor to perform at an off-site location during the period of installation closure if meaningful work can be accomplished. Contractor shall certify to the government by letter within 5 business days of returning to work the nature and scope of the work completed off-site. There shall be no adjustment to the contract labor rates for work performed off the installation.

(v) require that the Contractor continue on-site performance during the installation closure period in accordance with installation procedures.

5652.245-9001 Schedule of Government-Furnished Material (2001)

The Government will furnish material in accordance with the Government Furnished Property clause of the contract for use in the performance of this contract. The contractors will be furnished office equipment (computers, desks, facsimile machines, copy machines, telephones) for contractor personnel performing under the contract in Government facilities.

H.1 DEPLOYMENTS

All contractor personnel authorized to accompany U.S. Armed Forces deployed outside the United States must be accounted for in the Synchronized Predeployment and Operational Tracker (SPOT) Program located at https://spot.altess.army.mil/. Per DFARS 252.225-7040. This contract will be pre-loaded in SPOT by the Contracting Officer (CO). The contractor shall input the Letter of Authorization (LOA) requests for each employee in SPOT and send to the applicable Contracting Officer representative (COR) for that task order. After COR approval the CO will finalize and sign the LOA in SPOT.

The contractor shall have a Point of Contact that will process the LOAs within the SPOT system.

The COR will be assigned as the Government Authority and the CO approves the LOA within the system. A complete SPOT guide will be provided via email to all prime contractors for assistance. The basic process for LOAs is the following four steps:

Step 1: The contract will be loaded in SPOT by The Government; the Government will pre-load authorizations, privileges per the contract, etc. and ensure all CORs are in the SPOT system.

Step 2: An LOA is requested as part of creating a deployment (from contractor) at the task order level. The LOA is assigned to a Government Authority (i.e. COR).

Step 3: The Government Authority (COR) reviews the LOA and authorizes the LOA.

Step 4: The CO then reviews the LOA, inserts the accounting data from the task order, and approves. After the CO approves the LOA, it is digitally signed and available to be reviewed and printed.

H.2 VERIFICATION & VALIDATION

The Government may acquire the services of third party contractors to execute independent verification and validation (IV&V), audits, and unbiased evaluation of the Contractor and other Special Operations Forces Information Envoronment (SIE) service providers. The contractor shall cooperate with, share information with, and permit access to IV&V contractors at ITMO request.

H.4 CONDUCT OF PERSONNEL

The contractor, including his assigned personnel, performing services on a military reservation shall be guided by and shall observe and comply with all applicable rules, regulations, directions and requirements pertaining to conduct of personnel on the military reservation as prescribed by the Commander of the military reservation during the performance of the required services. The contractor further agrees to recognize the authority of the responsible military Commander to suspend, restrain or restrict the activities of contractor personnel whenever in his judgment such action is deemed necessary for the protection of personnel and equipment under his military jurisdiction.

H.5 CONTRACTOR IDENTIFICATION

Contractor employees shall wear a Government-issued badge while in Government facilities. Contractor and sub-contractor employees are required to clearly identify themselves as a contractor at all times whether in person or on the telephone.

If a contractor employee leaves the company or moves to a different agency for support under this contract they will be required to “check-out” with the respective Government Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and turn their badge into the Security Management Office (SMO) and clear all computer systems to which they have access.

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. However, the Government may conduct task order discussions or negotiations after award if the Contracting Officer determines negotiations are necessary. 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 calendar days to submit task order proposals, unless

a) a longer timeframe is specified in the request for task order proposal;

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 calendar day time period to submit a valid proposal. Accordingly, the amount of time for proposal submission will be calendar 25 days for each task order unless so identified in the instructions to offerors.

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 a subject matter expert, specialist, or technical expert is proposed in order to provide services under the task order, a resume shall 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 SLAs from the SOO in all PWS submissions. The SLA performance metrics/thresholds will be completed by each contractor for each task order. Contractors may also add or provide explanation for deletion of metrics/SLA 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. The PWS shall not contain information provided to demonstrate the Offeror’s capabilities.

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 provide sufficient detail for the contracting officer to determine that the offeror’s pricing is reasonable IAW FAR 15.4 and consistent with its accounting practices. Proposed indirect rates and direct labor rates shall be based upon the contractor FPRA unless approval is obtained from the Contracting Officer to use alternate rates.

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 PWS (Offerors ability to define measurable performance standards to meet SOO) and approach to meeting PWS, past performance (Application Management task orders), and proposed cost/price (basic and all option years) 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 cost/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.
