CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.204-29 FEDERAL ACQUISITION SUPPLY CHAIN SECURITY ACT ORDERS--REPRESENTATION

AND DISCLOSURES (DEC 2023)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision, Covered article, FASCSA order, Intelligence community, National security system, Reasonable inquiry, Sensitive compartmented information, Sensitive compartmented information system, and Source have the meaning provided in the clause 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders--Prohibition.

(b) Prohibition. Contractors are prohibited from providing or using as part of the performance of the contract any covered article, or any products or services produced or provided by a source, if the prohibition is set out in an applicable Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act (FASCSA) order, as described in paragraph (b)(1) of FAR 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders--Prohibition.

(c) Procedures.

(1) The Offeror shall search for the phrase "FASCSA order" in the System for Award Management (SAM)(https://www.sam.gov) for any covered article, or any products or services produced or provided by a source, if there is an applicable FASCSA order described in paragraph (b)(1) of FAR 52.204-30, Federal Acquisition Supply Chain Security Act Orders--Prohibition.

(2) The Offeror shall review the solicitation for any FASCSA orders that are not in SAM, but are effective and do apply to the solicitation and resultant contract (see FAR 4.2303(c)(2)).

(3) FASCSA orders issued after the date of solicitation do not apply unless added by an amendment to the solicitation.

(d) Representation. By submission of this offer, the offeror represents that it has conducted a reasonable inquiry, and that the offeror does not propose to provide or use in response to this solicitation any covered article, or any products or services produced or provided by a source, if the covered article or the source is prohibited by an applicable FASCSA order in effect on the date the solicitation was issued, except as waived by the solicitation, or as disclosed in paragraph (e).

(e) Disclosures. The purpose for this disclosure is so the Government may decide whether to issue a waiver. For any covered article, or any products or services produced or provided by a source, if the covered article or the source is subject to an applicable FASCSA order, and the Offeror is unable to represent compliance, then the Offeror shall provide the following information as part of the offer:

(1) Name of the product or service provided to the Government;

(2) Name of the covered article or source subject to a FASCSA order;

(3) If applicable, name of the vendor, including the Commercial and Government Entity code and unique entity identifier (if known), that supplied the covered article or the product or service to the Offeror;

(4) Brand;

(5) Model number (original equipment manufacturer number, manufacturer part number, or wholesaler number);

(6) Item description;

(7) Reason why the applicable covered article or the product or service is being provided or used;

(f) Executive agency review of disclosures. The contracting officer will review disclosures provided in paragraph (e) to determine if any waiver may be sought. A contracting officer may choose not to pursue a waiver for covered articles or sources otherwise subject to a FASCSA order and may instead make an award to an offeror that does not require a waiver.

(End of provision)

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(SEP 2023)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. However, the small business size standard for a concern that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition--

(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;

(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or

(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of Federal specifications, standards, and product descriptions can be downloaded from the ASSIST website at https://assist.dla.mil.

(ii) If the General Services Administration, Department of Agriculture, or Department of Veterans Affairs issued this solicitation, a copy of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained from the address in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of this provision.

(2) Most unclassified Defense specifications and standards may be downloaded from the ASSIST website at https://assist.dla.mil.

(3) Defense documents not available from the ASSIST website may be requested from the Defense Standardization Program Office by--

(ii) Contacting the Defense Standardization Program Office by telephone at 571-767-6688 or email at assisthelp@dla.mil.

(4) Nongovernment (voluntary) standards must be obtained from the organization responsible for their preparation, publication, or maintenance.

(j) Unique entity identifier. (Applies to all offers that exceed the micro-purchase threshold, and offers at or below the micro-purchase threshold if the solicitation requires the Contractor to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).) The Offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "Unique Entity Identifier" followed by the unique entity identifier that identifies the Offeror's name and address. The Offeror also shall enter its Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator, if applicable. The EFT indicator is a four-character suffix to the unique entity identifier. The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the Offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see FAR subpart 32.11) for the same entity. If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(k) Reserved.

(l) Debriefing. If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(1) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(2) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(3) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(4) A summary of the rationale for award;

(5) For acquisitions of commercial products, the make and model of the product to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(6) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

52.212-1 ADDENDA -- INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

General Instructions to Offerors

This is an all-electronic solicitation release. No hard copies will be mailed. Amendments to the solicitation will be posted to SAM.gov. It is the responsibility of each offeror to review the webpage for notice of amendments, updates, or changes to current information. The exclusive responsibility for the source selection will reside with the Government. Proprietary information submitted in response to this solicitation will be protected from unauthorized disclosure as required by Subsection 27 of the Office of Procurement Policy Act as amended (41 U.S.C. 423) as implemented in the FAR. The proposal and corresponding program will be unclassified and treated as Source Selection Sensitive Information.

All proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of the solicitation. Any commitments made in the proposal shall become part of the resultant contract. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the offeror’s understanding and/or ability to perform under a contract.

This may be a basis for rejection of the proposal. In no case shall words like “we will comply with the requirements of the contract,” or equivalent statements, be acceptable to meet the requirements of this RFQ. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. Use of documentation by reference, and not incorporated into the proposal, will not be allowed. Where cross-referencing is used, the volume, attachment, exhibit, and paragraph numbers, as appropriate, shall be referenced. Offerors shall provide separate responses to each technical evaluation factor within the identified page limitations. Offerors shall not exceed the page limitation by cross referencing other sections of their proposals. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in an offeror’s proposal being excluded from further consideration for award. Offerors shall submit with their proposals a list of names and telephone numbers of persons authorized to conduct negotiations.

The evaluation will consist of an evaluation of Technical Capability and Price, which are outlined below. After completion of the evaluation, the Government may establish a competitive range and conduct discussions. The Government reserves the right for efficiency purposes to only include the most highly rated proposals in the competitive range. The Government intends to issue a single award as a result of this solicitation; however, the Government reserves the right to award more or less awards based upon the results of the proposal evaluations.

Proposals shall not contain classified information

Proposal Format. Format of the proposal volumes shall be as follows:

a. Text size shall be no smaller than Microsoft Word, Times New Roman, 10 point, uncompressed font, including in any tables, charts, graphs or figures.

b. Pages shall be one and one half spaced, with a minimum of one inch margins on all sides. Pages shall be dated and numbered sequentially by volume. A cover sheet should be included in each volume, clearly marked as to volume number, title, solicitation identification, and the offeror's name.

c. Elaborate format and color representations are not desirable.

d. Electronic copies must be provided via E-mail. Microsoft Office Word processing software and Excel spreadsheet software formats are required.

The Quoter shall complete Attachment 5 – Contractor Requirements Submission Matrix and provide supporting documentation demonstrating the offeror’s proposed approach to meet the specific requirements for each item identified in Attachment 5.

The Technical quote should be as specific and complete as possible to clearly demonstrate to the Government that the Quoter meets the minimum requirements identified in Attachment 5. Quoter shall limit this volume to ten (10) pages inclusive of any title page, table of contents, photographs, maps, and/or diagrams, and/or acronym lists, (not including Attachment 5 and copies of certifications.)

The Quoter shall provide current Caterpillar Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Marine Engine Service Technician certifications and Caterpillar dealer/service center authorization documentation with quote.

GENERAL STATEMENTS THAT THE QUOTER CAN OR WILL COMPLY TO THE REQUIREMENTS OR

PARAPHRASING THE RFQ’S PWS IN WHOLE OR IN PART WILL NOT CONSTITUTE COMPLIANCE

AND MAY RESULT IN THE QUOTE BEING REMOVED FROM COMPETITION.

VOLUME 3 – FACTOR 2 – Price.

The Quoter shall submit a fully completed Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Worksheet (both TABS) within the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format provided by the Government. All prices shall be provided as a Firm Fixed Price (FFP), therefore all quoted prices shall be inclusive of all direct (i.e., direct labor, material, travel, and other direct costs) and associated indirect costs plus fee related to each Exhibit Line Item Number (ELIN) price. The submitted ELIN pricing will be used to price task orders. Quoted pricing shall include all costs associated with performance.

ELINs are segregated by five (5) ordering periods lasting one year each, with pricing applicable based on the date of task order issuance. The total evaluated price will be automatically formulated by the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet provided by the Government, by calculating the Quoter’s quoted pricing against the Government’s estimated quantities for the total life of the contract, to include the value of the option at FAR 52.217-8 calculated at 50% of the value of ordering period five (5). The offeror shall not alter formulas in the Microsoft Excel spreadsheet provided by the Government. Failure to comply with this instruction may result in the Quoter’s quote no longer being considered for award.

Work Package 0006 – Material Services (Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Worksheet Tab “ELIN X006”)

1. A portion of the work included in the scope of this contract, Work Package 0006 – Material Services, cannot be identified in advance in sufficient detail to be pre-priced as an ELIN. In this contract per DFARS 252.217-7028, Over and Above Work, labor for this work will be negotiated per the task and paid for based on the hours negotiated at the FFP rate(s) established in Attachment 2 in accordance with DFARS 252.217-7028.

2. Estimated hours and material costs under Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Worksheet Tab “ELIN X006” are estimates that apply only to Work Package 0006 and is provided as “information only”.

3. The Quoter shall complete Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Worksheet Tab “ELIN X006”. Enter the applicable labor categories, and composite/fully burdened labor rates for San Diego, CA. The FFP labor rates and material prices will only be utilized for negotiating Work Package 0006 – Material Services at the task order level.

The composite labor rate shall include all direct and indirect costs associated with performing an hour of work. The composite labor rate should be the Contractor's hourly labor wage adjusted to allow for the Quoter’s work force to provide the required service. The composite labor rate shall include all costs for job preparation, travel, labor delay allowance, profit, clerical support, supervision, taxes, licenses, insurance, field and home office overhead, etc.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(a) 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 shall be used to evaluate offers:

See Addendum

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) 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 factors listed in the 52.212-2 Addenda below shall be used to evaluate offers.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

52.212-2 ADDENDA-- EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

This is a competitive, lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection. This section outlines the criteria the Government will use in evaluating the Quoter’s technical capability and quote for the maintenance, and/or complete overhaul, of the Caterpillar 3126 Marine Diesel Engine (DITA) as well as minor maintenance and preservation to the ZF Marine IRM 301 PL Marine Gear of the 11M RIBs.

Discussions. IAW FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions. Therefore, the Quoter’s initial quote should contain the Quoter’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. Quoters may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their Technical and/or Price quote.

Exchanges conducted with regard to resolving minor or clerical errors in any of the quote volumes will not constitute discussions, and the Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) reserves the right to award a contract without granting an opportunity to revise the original quote.

Evaluation. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation is the lowest price technically acceptable offer. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Volume 1 – Contractor Forms and Certifications Volume 2 - Factor 1 – Technical Capability Volume 3 - Factor 2 – Price

The Government will review Volume 1 for completeness and that the offeror indicated that it is eligible for a Government contract based on the offeror’s responses to the representations, certifications, all contract forms, and other statements required by the solicitation. The offeror shall ensure all Contract Forms, Representations, and Certifications have been completed as required. Incomplete quotes regarding such items may render the quote ineligible for award.

The Government shall evaluate Factor 1, Technical Capability, using the following adjectival ratings:

Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable (A): Quote clearly meets the requirements of Attachment 2 – Contractor Requirements Submission Matrix

Unacceptable (U) : Quote does not clearly meet the requirements of Attachment 2 – Contractor Requirements Submission Matrix

A finding of Unacceptable in Factor 1 shall result in the entire quote being determined unacceptable and, therefore, ineligible for award.

Factor 1 – Technical Capability:

Basis of Evaluation: The Government will evaluate information submitted by the Quoter for this factor and will make an acceptable or unacceptable rating in accordance with the table above.

It is the expectation that the Technical quote and copies of certifications will support the assertions in Attachment 2;

however, in the event of any discrepancies or inconsistencies between Attachment 2, the Technical quote and certifications, the information in the Technical quote and certifications shall control.

Proximity of the Quoter’s facilities, where all maintenance and repair work shall be performed, to the Naval Amphibious Base (NAB) Coronado, California, will be evaluated based on the distance from Contractor’s www.SAM.gov address to the Government Location as stated in the RFQ via GOOGLEMAPS for distance, unless the Quoter provides a specific work-facility location to be used for distance calculation.

Factor 2 - Price:

Basis of Evaluation: All prices proposed in Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Worksheet (ELIN) including the option permitted under FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated for price reasonableness in accordance with FAR 13.106-3 based on competitive quotes. The Government will determine the total evaluated price for award purposes by adding the total prices for all five years, and the six month extension via FAR 52.217-8. The evaluated price of the option under FAR 52.217-8 will be calculated by the Government at 50% of the total price for Year 5.

All offerors shall be considered in terms of price, lowest to highest, and then the apparent lowest-priced offeror will be evaluated for acceptability under the technical factor. If the lowest-price offeror is evaluated as unacceptable, the acceptability of the next lowest-price offeror will be evaluated, continuing this process as necessary.

Work Package 0006 – Material Services (ONLY) Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Worksheet Tab “ELIN X006” pricing will only be used to determine reasonableness of the quoted labor rates and will not be factored into the total evaluated price calculation. Actual quantities for labor hours and material pricing will be based on the over and above work request (OAWR) as required by DFARS 252.217-7028 at the task order level.
