Section H - Special Contract Requirements

SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1. SOFARS 5652.204-9003 Disclosure of Unclassified Information (2013)

(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 protection of sensitive but unclassified data reflecting Special Operations technologies, personnel, plans, and business associations requires due diligence on the part of those in possession of such information. The application of appropriate security measures to ensure the safekeeping of USSOCOM and company proprietary data, intellectual property, and personnel data is the responsibility of all parties who have access to such information. All contractors supporting USSOCOM are required to inform the Contracting Officer within three business days of when there has been a breach or successful penetration of the contractor’s network(s) or information system(s). Breaches include unauthorized intrusions of the contractor’s server(s) from external parties whether through introduction of malware, hacking, the compromise of access passwords, or any other unauthorized access or compromise. Breaches also include the physical loss of storage media such and disks, hard drives, thumb drives, laptops or other devices which contain duplicates of information contained on the contractor’s data systems, or the willful or accidental transmission, copying or posting of contract information which has not been specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer. Estimates of damage and mitigation strategies will be submitted to the Contracting Officer within a period following the breach specified and agreed upon by the Contractor and the Contracting Officer.

(d) The Contractor shall include a similar requirement to this clause in each subcontract under this contract. Subcontractors shall submit request for authorization to release and notifications related to cyber security breaches through the prime contractor to the Contracting Officer.

(e) 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, newspaper, magazine, etc.) unless authorized in writing by USSOCOM. Forward any request to use the USSOCOM emblem or logo through the Contracting Officer.

H.2. SOFARS 5652.209-9003 Use of Contractor Support/Advisory Personnel as Contract Specialists (2013)

The contractor’s attention is directed to the fact that contractor personnel may assist the Government in a contract administrator role for administration of this contract. Execution of this contract constitutes approval to release the contract and contractor’s proposal to Government Support Contractors who have signed Non-Disclosure and Rules of Conduct/Conflict of Interest Statements.

H.3. SOFARS 5652.216-9003 Procedures for Issuing Task Orders under Multiple Award, Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity Contracts (2014) Note: These procedures apply to the issuance of future task orders

General. This contract is designed to meet the wide and varied needs of USSOCOM. Firm Fixed Price (FFP) and Cost-reimbursement types of task orders may be awarded hereunder; however, FFP will be the preferred contract type to accompany performance based concepts to the maximum extent possible. The Government will determine the most appropriate task order contract type for each effort dependent upon the requirement. The Government may unilaterally deviate from these procedures at any time as required. 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.

Standard Requirements. This contract will be focused on competition; accordingly, IDIQ prime contractors are required to submit a proposal for every requirement solicited. If the contractor has reason to request a waiver, the contractor shall submit a detailed statement of reason for a waiver to the Contracting Officer (KO) within 2 days of request for task order proposal receipt.

(a) All multiple award contractors shall be considered for each order over $3,000, unless the Contracting Officer determines that:

(1) The agency need for such supplies or services is of such urgency that providing such opportunity would result in unacceptable delays;

(2) Only one such contractor is capable of providing such supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized;

(3) The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract.

(4) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum amount guarantee.

(b) Unless the exceptions in paragraphs (a) above apply, the following procedures will be utilized in providing contract awardees with a fair opportunity to be considered for each order:

(1) Soliciting Task Order Proposals. When the Government has a requirement for services to be performed under this contract, the KO will issue a request for task order proposal which will include, but not necessarily limited to the following:

· Instructions to Offerors (ITO) providing specific proposal requirements

· Statement of Work/Performance Work Statement/Statement of Objectives

· Period of Performance

(2) Submission of Proposals. Proposals shall normally consist of a task order management plan and a pricing proposal. Other proposal contents will be identified in the ITO; proposals must comply with all requirements specified in the ITO.

(3) Government Evaluation of Task Order Proposals. The Government will make an integrated assessment based on the evaluation criteria identified in the ITO. The KO will make award to the contractor who will provide the best value to the Government. Upon receipt of the proposal(s), the KO 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.

(4) TO Award. 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 loses the funding for the project, the Government will notify all Offerors of the cancellation.

(5) Authorization to Proceed on Task Orders. In time-critical circumstances, after award and prior to the Contractor’s receipt of the contractual instrument, the KO may direct the contractor in writing, verbally, or electronically, to commence performance of the task. Otherwise, the contractor is not authorized to commence task performance prior to the issuance of the task order or other written or electronic notice provided by the KO. In no case shall the Contractor commence work without explicit approval from the KO.

(6) Option Exercises at Task Order Level. Task order options; if applicable, will be exercised in accordance with FAR 17.207 and the applicable option clause. Option periods will be outlined in each task order ITO.

(c) Under the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, protests are not authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of a task/delivery order except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract or, a protest of an order valued in excess of $10 million. Protests of orders in excess of $10 million may only be filed with the Government Accountability Office, in accordance with the procedures at FAR 33.104.

(d) Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman. The Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman is responsible for reviewing complaints regarding this contract. The Ombudsman shall review complaints from the contractors and ensure all contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered, consistent with the procedures of the contract. Additional information on the ombudsman can be viewed at http://www.socom.mil/sordac/Pages/Ombudsman.aspx.

H.3 DEVIATION: Proposal submission and evaluation for Force Management Development (FMD) Lessons Learned, FMD Manpower Augmentation, and Marine Corps Special Operations Command (MARSOC)

Marine Special Operations School (MSOS), Individual Training Course (ITC) will be in accordance with Section L and M.

H.4. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

(a) Definition: Per FAR 2.101, an organizational conflict of interest means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the persons objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage. It does not include the normal flow of benefits from incumbency.

(b) The Contracting Officer has determined that potentially significant organizational conflicts of interest may arise due to the nature of the work the Contractor will perform under this contract that may preclude the Contractor from being awarded future USSOCOM contracts in a related area. Whereas the Contractor shall be ineligible to act as a prime contractor, consultant, or subcontractor to provide the equipment, items and services, it is agreed that the Contractor shall be ineligible to act as a prime contractor, consultant, or subcontractor to any prime contractor or subcontractor at any tier who is to supply the services, system or major components thereof for any project where the Contractor has provided or is providing support as described in FAR 9.5.

(c) The Contracting Officer may make a determination to allow a Contractor to participate in an acquisition subject to the submission of an acceptable mitigation plan in accordance with paragraphs (1) and (2) below. This determination may not be appealed.

1. If the Contracting Officer requests, and the Contractor submits an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan that, after Government review is acceptable to the Government, the Contractor's parent corporation, subsidiaries, or other physically separate profit and loss centers may not be precluded from acting as a subcontractor or consultant on future USSOCOM contracts. The Government's determination regarding the adequacy of the mitigation plan and the possibility of mitigation are unilateral decisions made solely at the discretion of the Government and are not subject to the Disputes clause of the contract. The Government may terminate the contract for default if the Contractor fails to implement and follow the procedures contained in any approved mitigation plan.

2. Any mitigation plan shall include, at a minimum, non-disclosure agreements to be executed by the Contractor and the Contractors employees supporting the Government per paragraph (c) above. Items for consideration in a mitigation plan include the following: identification of the organizational conflict(s) of interest; reporting and tracking system; an organizational conflict of interest compliance/enforcement plan, to include employee training and sanctions, in the event of unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information; a plan for organizational segregation (e.g., separate reporting chains); and data security measures.

(d) These restrictions outlined in paragraph (b) shall apply to all task orders issued under this contract. This clause shall remain in effect for one year after completion of this contract.

(e) The Contractor shall apply this clause to any subcontractors or consultants, who have access to information, participate in the development of data, or participate in any other activity related to this contract which is subject to terms of this clause at the prime contractor level, unless the Contractor includes an acceptable alternate subcontractor provision in its mitigation plan. For subcontractors or consultants under this contract, if an organizational conflict of interest mitigation plan is submitted and acceptable to the Government, the subcontractor's parent corporation, subsidiaries, or other physically separate profit and loss centers may not be precluded from acting as a prime, subcontractor, or consultant on future USSOCOM contracts.

(f) The Contractor's employees shall be trained and informed of Subpart 9.5 of the FAR and this contract provision, and shall execute a Contractor-Employee Personal Financial Interest/Protection of Sensitive Information Agreement as appropriate.

(g) The Contactor agrees that it will use all reasonable diligence in protecting proprietary data received by it. The Contractor further agrees it will not willfully disclose proprietary data to unauthorized parties without the prior permission of the Government, and that proprietary data shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed, in whole or part, for any purpose other than to accomplish the contracted effort. This restriction does not limit the contractors right to use, duplicate or disclose such information if such information was lawfully obtained by the contractor from other sources.

(h) The Contractor agrees to enter into written agreements with all companies whose proprietary data it shall have access and to protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure as long as it remains proprietary. The Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer copies of these written agreements. The Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary data and rights of other organizations disclosed to the Contractor during performance of this contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent Contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The Contractor agrees to refrain from using proprietary information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.

(i) The Contractor shall not distribute reports, data or information of any nature arising from its performance under this contract, except as provided by this contract or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.

(j) Government Representatives shall have access to the Contractors premises and the right to inspect all pertinent books and records in order to insure that the contractor is in compliance with FAR 9.5.

(k) The Contractor agrees that if after award it discovers a potential organizational conflict of interest, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions the Contractor has taken or proposes to take, to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.

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

H.5. PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION

(a) The Contractor shall train and inform its employees of Subpart 9.5 of the FAR and this contract clause, and shall execute a Contractor-Employee Personal Financial Interest/Protection of Sensitive Information Agreement as appropriate.

(b) The Contactor agrees that it will use all reasonable diligence in protecting proprietary data received by it. The Contractor further agrees it will not willfully disclose proprietary data to unauthorized parties without the prior permission of the Government, and that proprietary data shall not be duplicated, used or disclosed, in whole or part, for any purpose other than to accomplish the contracted effort. This restriction does not limit the contractors right to use, duplicate or disclose such information if such information was lawfully obtained by the contractor from other sources.

(c) The Contractor agrees to enter into written agreements with all companies whose proprietary data it shall have access to and protect such data from unauthorized use or disclosure as long as it remains proprietary. The Contractor shall furnish to the Contracting Officer copies of these written agreements within 30 days. The Contractor agrees to protect the proprietary data and rights of other organizations disclosed to the Contractor during performance of this contract with the same caution that a reasonably prudent Contractor would use to safeguard highly valuable property. The Contractor shall not use proprietary information for any purpose other than that for which it was furnished.

(d) The Contractor shall not distribute reports, data or information of any nature arising from its performance under this contract, except as provided by this contract or as may be directed by the Contracting Officer.

(e) Government Representatives shall have access to the Contractor’s premises and the right to inspect all pertinent books and records in order to ensure that the contractor is in compliance with FAR 9.5.

(f) The Contractor agrees that if after award it discovers a potential organizational conflict of interest, a prompt and full disclosure shall be made in writing to the Contracting Officer. This disclosure shall include a description of the actions the Contractor has taken or proposes to take, to avoid or mitigate such conflicts.

(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.

H.6. COST PLUS FIXED FEE-LEVEL OF EFFORT (CPFF-LOE) CLIN X003 Series

(a) In performance of the effort directed in this contract, the contractor shall provide the total of Direct Productive Labor Hours (DPLH) as specified Section B of each task order during the term specified in Section F of the task order. DPLH is defined as actual work hours exclusive of vacation, holidays, sick leave, and other absences.

*Note: The DPLH specified in Section B will be taken from RFP attachment 3 for the task orders attached to the solicitation. For subsequent task orders the DPLH will be negotiated along with the task order estimated cost and fixed fee.

(b) Only the DPLH categories identified shall be charged directly to the contract.

(c) The hours specified in Section B are estimates only. If the actual amount of hours incurred falls within 90% to 110% of this estimate, the fee shall not be adjusted.

(d) In the event that the contractor shall be required to provide less than 90% of the estimated DPLH, the fixed fee of the contract shall be equitably adjusted by unilateral modification to the contract. The fixed fee adjustment shall be based solely upon the difference between the DPLH actually provided and 90% of the estimated DPLH, calculated as follows:

Adjusted Fixed Fee = (Actual DPLH/(.9 × Estimated DPLH)) × Specified Fixed Fee

(e) In the event that the contractor shall be required to provide more than 110% of the estimated DPLH, the fixed fee of the Contract shall be equitably adjusted by unilateral modification to the Contract. The fixed fee adjustment shall be based solely upon the difference between the DPLH actually provided and 110% of the estimated DPLH, calculated as follows:

Adjusted Fixed Fee = (Actual DPLH/(1.1 × Estimated DPLH)) × Specified Fixed Fee

(f) These terms and conditions do not supersede the requirements of either FAR clause 52.232-20 “Limitation of Cost” or FAR clause 52.232-22 “Limitation of Funds.”

H.7. COMMON ACCESS CARDS FOR CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

(a) For installation(s)/location(s) cited in the contract, contractors shall ensure Common Access Cards (CACs) are obtained by all contract or subcontract personnel who meet one or both of the following criteria:

The Trusted Agents for this contract are the appointed CORs for task orders and the Primary Contracting Officer’s Representative (PCOR) for the contractor management team. It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to ensure the CORs have all updated information necessary to process re-verifications and new requests timely in the TASS.

(c) During the performance period of the contract, the contractor shall:

a. Return CACs to either the nearest RAPIDS office or to the COR no later than the next business day of a change in status for contractor personnel who no longer require logical or physical access;
