The Contractor must include a similar requirement to this clause in each subcontract under this contract to affect this requirement at each level of subcontracting.

Subcontractors must submit request for authorization to release through the prime contractor to the Contracting Officer.

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

1. Fully Burdened Rates: Offerors shall ensure rates are to be fully burdened and include all direct labor, indirect costs, overhead, G&A, and profit.

o Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS) apply. Offerors shall map duties as appliable to the appropriate Department of Labor Wage Determinations provided in Attachments 4 - 8 for each location.

o In accordance with the governing footnote of Attachment 2, the contractual overtime rate is established by formula as exactly 1.5 times the proposed fully burdened regular hourly rate. There is no separate ELIN for overtime, the 1.5 multiplier applies directly to the fully burdened rate inclusive of profit. Offerors shall not create separate overtime line items on Attachment 2.

2.Completeness: Offerors shall provide fully burdened hourly rates and pricing for all Exhibit Line-Item Numbers (ELINs) and locations outlined in Attachment 2 - Pricing and ELIN Sheet. Partial quotes or proposals shall not be evaluated or considered for award.

3. Total Evaluated Price (TEP): For the purposes of the IDIQ Total Evaluated Price (TEP) evaluation, Offerors shall price the 8-hour day assumption strictly and exactly as pre-populated in Row 1, Columns R through U of the 'TEP - ELIN Price Sheet' (Attachment 2). The pre-populated hours and formulas establish an equitable, standardized baseline across all offerors. Offerors are strictly prohibited from altering hours, formulas, adding rows, or inserting line items.

o Travel and Other Direct Costs (ODCs) for IDIQ TEP (Government Plug): For the purpose of establishing the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) across the five-year basic IDIQ ordering periods, the Government has established a standardized Government Travel Plug amount in Attachment 2. Offerors shall not alter, edit, or adjust this Government-provided travel plug figure in the TEP summary sheet.

i. The Government travel plug will be applied equally across all Offerors to establish an equitable evaluation baseline.

ii. Actual prices for travel on individual task order awards will be negotiated and established as Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) ELINs in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and FAR 31.205-46.

o Offerors shall utilize the designated additional spreadsheet tab within Attachment 2 to calculate Other Direct Costs (ODCs) in accordance with PWS Section 15.

o The spreadsheet is dynamically linked to automatically carry values directly into the main TEP summary sheet. Offerors shall not manually overwrite or disconnect these formulas.

4. Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI Pricing: Offerors shall complete Attachment 2 -Pricing and ELIN Sheet Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI tabs. In pricing the Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI, Offerors shall apply its proposed fully burdened labor rates from Attachment 2 to the specific labor categories and hours defined in the Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI. The Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI will be awarded as the first task orders under the resulting IDIQ contract, satisfying the contract's minimum requirement; however, these initial awards remain subject to the availability of funds in accordance with FAR 52.232-18, Availability of Funds.

o Unlike the IDIQ TEP (which uses a standardized Government travel plug), Offerors shall include its proposed travel costs and logistical expenses for the Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI based on its specific operational and technical approach described in Volume 2 (e.g., lodging, per diem, transportation, and barge/ transit to San Clemente Island).

o Note: The pricing for Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI will be evaluated strictly on its own merits to verify price realism and operational technical alignment, and it will NOT be incorporated or added into the five-year master IDIQ TEP calculation.

5.Pricing Write-Up Requirements: Offerors shall submit a pricing narrative alongside Attachment 2 - Pricing and ELIN Sheet containing but not limited to the following sections:

o Justification: Offerors shall provide a detailed narrative justification for all proposed rates, fees, travel premiums, and mobilization/demobilization structures. Break down the basis of estimates for role player daily or hourly rates, specialized role player coordinator structures, special event safety coordinators, and overall support services. If the Offeror proposes specialized day rates for remote training evolutions, the daily rate breakdown shall be explicitly detailed and justified.

o The justification shall also detail the basis of estimate and cost structures for providing all mandatory Contractor-Furnished Equipment (CFE) specified in the PWS Section 15 (including helmets, gloves, throat guards, and groin guards), demonstrating how equipment purchase, maintenance, replacement cycles, and safety-sanitizing procedures are accounted for within the proposed fully burdened labor rates.

o Offerors shall provide complete, detailed supporting justification for all travel costs proposed for Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI. This submission shall include but not limited to:

i. a transparent basis of estimate detailing personnel headcount, mode of travel, origin and destination points, flight estimates, vehicle rentals, and fuel; per diem and lodging calculations substantiated in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and FAR 31.205-46. Offerors shall explicitly substantiate how its travel cost estimates directly correspond to the staffing and operational schedules in accordance with Initial TOR Niland and Initial TOR SCI.

6.Technical Mapping: Offerors shall provide a direct cross-walk and mapping to the technical approach described in Volume 2. It shall demonstrate how proposed pricing supports technical execution, such as mapping labor rates directly to the technical team size, specialized instructor qualifications, and aligning travel or mobilization structures directly to the regional training locations, economic transit plans, and logistical constraints (such as barge schedules, equipment transport, and berthing requirements on San Clemente Island) described in the technical quote/proposal.

7. Option to Extend Services (FAR 52.217-8): Offerors shall not submit a separate pricing sheet for the FAR 52.217-8 option. The evaluated price for this option period shall be mathematically calculated by the Government by applying 100% of the Offeror's proposed Year 5 fully burdened labor rates to exactly 50% of the proposed Year 5 hours. Proposed labor rates shall not be discounted or reduced.

8.Other than Certified Cost or Pricing Data: In accordance with FAR Part 12, certified cost or pricing data will not be required. However, the Government reserves the right to require the submission of "other than certified cost and pricing data" (e.g., labor rate build-ups, G&A allocations, historical payroll records) prior to award to support price reasonableness or price realism evaluations.

The following Clauses modifications were made:

52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services. (Deviation 2026-O0038) Feb 2026 hereby reads as follows:

Evaluation-Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-O0038)

(a) Evaluation factors. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

The Government intends to award a single, Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose conforming quote/proposal is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

Factor 1 (Technical Capability) is more important than Factor 2 (Past Performance). When combined, Factors 1 and 2 are significantly more important than Factor 3 (Price).

Award will be made to the responsible Offeror whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements and represents the best value to the Government using a qualitative tradeoff process among Factor 1 (Technical Capability), Factor 2 (Past Performance), and Factor 3 (Price). The Government reserves the right to award to a higher-priced Offeror if the superior technical capability, recruitment stability, or lower overall performance risk of its proposal justifies paying a premium.

An Unacceptable rating under Factor 1 (Technical Capability) will render the proposal technically unacceptable and ineligible for award. If an Offeror receives an Unacceptable rating under Factor 1 (Technical Capability) the Government reserves the right to discontinue evaluation and will not evaluate the Offeror's Factor 3 (Price) submission.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Offerors are cautioned that initial proposals should represent their best possible technical and price terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary and in the best interest of the Government.

Preliminary Compliance Review (Volume 1: Administrative Information)

Prior to conducting detailed qualitative technical, past performance, and price evaluations, the Government will perform an initial administrative compliance review of Volume 1: Administrative Information on a pass/fail or acceptable/unacceptable gateway basis.

7.Terms and Conditions Compliance: An explicit statement agreeing to all terms, conditions, and amendments of the solicitation without unacceptable business, administrative, or legal exceptions.

Factor 1: Technical Capability The Government will evaluate Volume 2: Technical Capability to determine the extent to which the Offeror demonstrates a sound, practical, and risk-managed approach for satisfying the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Initial TOR Niland, and Initial TOR SCI. General statements that the Offeror "understands and shall comply" with the requirements are inadequate. The evaluation will focus on, but is not limited to, the following:

1.Technical Approach & Execution: The Government will evaluate Offerors' operational methods, processes, and procedures for delivering, managing, and sustaining role player personnel across all training environments specified in PWS Section 4.0 and 5.0.
