CONTRACT AND ADMIN AUTHORITY

CONTRACTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE AUTHORITY

a. The contract will be administered by the Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO).

The contracting officer (KO) at DITCO-Scott, 2300 East Dr, Scott Air Force Base, IL 62225, is the only person authorized to approve changes or modify any of the requirements contained elsewhere in this contract; the said authority remains solely in the KO. In the event the Contractor effects any such change at the direction of any other person other than the KO, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract costs to cover any increase incurred as a result thereof.

b. The Contractor shall submit requests for modifications of this contract to the KO with a copy of the request to the KO’s contracting officer representative (COR) as designated in the KO’s COR appointment letter.

c. Contractual problems, of any nature, that may arise during the life of this contract must be handled in conformance with very specific public laws and regulations (i.e., Federal Acquisition Regulation). Only the KO is authorized to formally resolve such problems. Therefore, the Contractor is hereby directed to bring all such contractual problems to the immediate attention of the KO.

d. Request for information on matters related to this contract, such as explanation of terms and contract interpretation, shall be submitted to the KO.

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

Notwithstanding the Contractor’s responsibility for total management during the performance of this contract, the administration of the contract requires maximum coordination between the Government and the Contractor. The following individuals will be the Government points of contact during the performance of the contract:

a. Contracting Officer (KO).

(1) Contract Administration. Communications pertaining to contractual administrative matters shall be addressed to the KO. No changes in or deviation from the scope of work shall be effected without a written modification to the contract executed by the KO authorizing such changes.

(2) Designation of Representatives. The KO may designate individuals to act as the COR under the contract or any resultant task order. CORs may provide technical guidance in direction of the work, but they will not be authorized to change any of the terms and conditions of the contract or task orders. CORs will be designated by a letter of appointment from the KO. Specific COR duties can be found in the DoD COR Handbook, which is located at:

http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/cpic/cp/docs/USA001390-12_DoD_COR_Handbook_Signed.pdf

b. Contracting Officer Representative (COR). All communication with agencies of the Government and interface with other contractors required in the performance of this contract or resultant task orders shall be accomplished only through the direction and with the coordination of the COR. The responsibilities and limitations of CORs are contained in the DoD COR Handbook. The duties of the COR will be outlined on the COR Designation Letter distributed upon contract/task order award.

c. Technical Coordination.

(1) Performance of work under this contract shall be in compliance with the PWS and terms and conditions of the contract or any approved task orders. The Contractor shall use the PWS together with other applicable http://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/cpic/cp/docs/USA001390-12_DoD_COR_Handbook_Signed.pdf portions of the basic award as a basis for the description of its capabilities and ability to propose appropriate services when solicited in future task orders.

(2) All technical coordination shall remain within the scope of this contract and that of individual task orders.

No oral statements by any person shall in any manner or degree modify or otherwise affect the terms of this contract or of the task orders. Technical coordination shall not result in any action that:

(i) Constitutes an assignment of additional work outside the SOW, PWS or task order.

(ii) Constitutes a change as defined in the contract clauses 52.243-1, Changes - Fixed-Price and 52.243-2, Changes - Cost-Reimbursement, as applicable.

(iii) Causes an increase in the total contract ceiling amount, task order price, or the time required for contract or task order performance.

(iv) Changes in any of the expressed terms, conditions or specifications of this contract or any approved task orders.

(v) Interfere with the Contractor’s right to perform the terms and conditions of the contract or subsequent task orders.

(30) calendar days of receipt will constitute approval of the terms of the modification and the modification will subsequently be processed unilaterally by the Contracting Officer to deobligate excess funds and close this contract/order.

If this contract/order contains option periods, the Contractor is required to submit an invoice within ninety (90) calendar days after expiration of the base period of performance and the expiration of each exercised option period of performance to allow for deobligation of excess funds that were obligated in those respective periods of performance.

IDEAS PROCUREMENT SYSTEM

DITCO utilizes its Integrated Defense Enterprise Acquisition System (IDEAS) procurement system to issue orders and may use IDEAS to request pricing for future sites/unpriced CLINs. IDEAS is a single integrated procurement and contract writing system that the contractor will use for the DREN4 contract. A registered contractor with a DoD approved Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) certificate will use IDEAS to view and download Inquiries sent directly to the contractor. Contractors will also use IDEAS to submit Quotes and other relevant documents and receive contract documents. Information on IDEAS and how to register to become a user is located at https://depsland.csd.disa.mil/html/vendor.html. Contractor must register with the System for Award Management www.sam.gov; obtain a DoD approved (PKI) certificate https://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/Pages/index.aspx; and register for an IDEAS account.

SB PARTICIPATION REPORTING

Contract Level Small Business Participation Plan Reporting

a. Semi-annually the Contractor shall report as a part of their contract status reports with information concerning their performance under its small business participation plan via email to the contracting officer representative with a “cc” to the Office of Small Business Programs (disa.meade.osbp.mbx.disa-small-business-office@mail.mil) following the reporting schedule below:

Reporting Period Report Due Date July 1 – December 31 January 31 January 1 – June 30 July 31

The small business participation plan report shall cover the following:

1. Accomplishments towards meeting proposed small business participation objectives presented in Small Business Participation Plan

• Identify the small businesses that performed work during the reporting period

2. Small business subcontracts awarded during the reporting period

• Contractor name and socioeconomic category

• Dollar value of subcontract

• Nature of the agreement (for example purchase orders, teaming agreements, letters of commitment) and/ or subcontract type

3. Specific initiatives to enhance small business utilization or capabilities, if any. The small business participation plan semi-annual reporting shall address the Contractor’s overall small business utilization at the contract level.

b. For other-than-small businesses, the small business participation plan semi-annual reporting requirement is separate from the eSRS reporting submission requirements.

A negative report is required when there is no activity or no subcontracting in the preceding reporting period. To satisfy the negative report requirement, send an email to the contracting officer representative with a “cc” to the Office of Small Business Programs (disa.meade.osbp.mbx.disa-small-business-office@mail.mil) with a statement of “NO SUBCONTRACTING ACTIVITY TO REPORT FOR THIS REPORTING PERIOD.” The negative report submitted should contain the Contractor’s contract number and report period in the email subject line.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

ORGANIZATIONAL AND CONSULTANT CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCCI)

(a) An offeror shall identify in its proposal, quote, bid or any resulting contract, any potential or actual Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest (OCCI) as described in FAR Subpart

9.5. This includes actual or potential conflicts of interests of proposed subcontractors. If an offeror identifies in its proposal, quote, bid or any resulting contract, a potential or actual conflict of interests the offeror shall submit an Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest Mitigation Plan to the contracting officer. The Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest Mitigation Plan shall describe how the offeror addresses potential or actual conflicts of interest and identify how they will avoid, neutralize, or mitigate present or future conflicts of interest.

(b) Offerors must consider whether their involvement and participation raises any OCCI issues, especially in the following areas when:

(1) Providing systems engineering and technical direction.

(2) Preparing specifications or work statements and/or objectives.

(3) Providing evaluation services.

(4) Obtaining access to proprietary information.

(c) If a prime contractor or subcontractor breaches any of the OCCI restrictions, or does not disclose or misrepresents any relevant facts concerning its conflict of interest, the government may take appropriate action, including terminating the contract, in additional to any remedies that may be otherwise permitted by the contract or operation of law.

CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE COMPLIANCE

A critical element of our national security is the security of America's communications networks. Threats to the security of our nation's communications networks posed by certain telecommunications equipment or service providers are a matter of concern as reflected in both Executive Branch regulations and Congressional legislation.

In order to protect against national security threats to our nation's communication networks, and comply with federal law, DISA will not procure, obtain, extend, or renew a contract to procure or obtain any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.

The term "covered telecommunications equipment or services" is defined in the National Defense Authorization Act (“2019 NDAA”), Pub. L. 115-232, Sec. 889, and, among others, includes telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities). However, as indicated in the 2019 NDAA, the above prohibition does not prohibit the U.S. Government from contracting with an entity providing a service that connects to the facilities of a third-party, such as backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements. For the purposes of this solicitation, interconnection arrangement means that the prime Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP)’s solution links its own 2019 NDAA compliant circuit/network through an entrance facility, to a third-party TP’s circuit/network to deliver telecommunications service between the prime Contractor/TP’s customers and the third-party TP’s customers. Backhaul means the

Contractor/TP’s solution links its own 2019 NDAA compliant circuit/network through an entrance facility, to a third-party TP’s circuit/network, and uses a portion of the third-party TP’s circuit/network for delivery of service that again connects to the prime Contractor/TP’s network/customers. See e.g., Pac. Bell Tel. Co. v. Cal. PUC, 621 F.3d 836, 842 (9th Cir. 2010).

In order to be eligible for (contract) award, contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) must certify in writing in its quote/proposal the following:

1) Not including backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements with third parties, Contractor/TP does not propose any solution that uses any equipment, system, or service that uses covered telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system or as critical technology as part of any system, or the Contractor/TP has obtained a waiver in accordance with the 2019 NDAA.

2) Telecommunications equipment the Contractor/TP will use for providing the service proposed is not from a

"covered foreign country," i.e. China.

3) For the service requested in this solicitation, Contractor/TP does not produce or provide "covered telecommunications equipment or services".

4) Even if the prime Contractor/TP’s solution relies upon the exception of backhaul, roaming, or interconnection arrangements for delivery of some portion of the circuit/network, the solution will not use Telecommunications equipment produced by Huawei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of such entities), or other covered telecommunications equipment/service on U.S.

Government camps/posts/stations, or that directly connects to U.S. Government facilities.

During evaluation and administration of any resulting contract, the Government may consult other sources to determine whether the Contractor/TP is in compliance with the certification. Furthermore, the Government may inspect the Contractor/TP's equipment or services in accordance with the terms of the contract/ order that will result from this contracting opportunity. Failure to comply with the certification may result in termination of the contract for default or cause. If the Government determines that the security risks caused by the Contractor/TP's failure to comply with the certification can be eliminated or significantly reduced, then the Government shall require the contractor to take all necessary measures to mitigate such risks. Mitigation measures shall include removal and replacement of "covered telecommunications equipment" at no cost to the Government.

The submission of this quote/proposal constitutes the Telecommunications Provider’s Certification that the TP has complied with the terms of the provision, and acknowledges that the TP’s continued compliance with the provision is a material precondition for the Government’s continued payment under the contract. TP must state in quote “BY

SUBMISSION OF THIS QUOTE, I (AS THE TP) CERTIFY THAT I UNDERSTAND THE PROVISION

OUTLINED AND WILL COMPLY.”

Approved Products List

Department of Defense (DoD) Instruction 8100.04, DoD Unified Capabilities, (December 9, 2010), establishes governing policy for products and services that support and connect to the DoD Information Network (DoDIN).

DoDI 8100.04 also sets forth instructions that are implemented by the Defense Capabilities Requirement (formerly the Unified Capabilities Requirement document), the DoDIN Approved Products List (APL), and the DoDIN Service Provider Equipment (SPE) List. The DoDIN APL lists products that have been certified for Cybersecurity and Interoperability and are approved for use within and on DoD networks. The DoDIN SPE lists products that may be used to interface with the DoDIN when used by Internet Service Providers (ISP) or other Telecommunications Providers. For the purposes of this solicitation, equipment at the point of interface with the Government's network must conform to either the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE.

VENDOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) must list all equipment the TP or any subcontractor will use at the point of interface with the Government's network. The Government has the right to evaluate the list of equipment at the point of interface with the Government's network to ensure it is compliant with either the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE. A TP's failure to list equipment used at the point of interface with the Government's network, or inclusion of equipment not on the DoDIN APL or the DoDIN SPE, may result in the TP being deemed not technically acceptable. Additionally, during the period of performance, service delivery, and contract administration, the TP is required to ensure the TP and all subcontractors use only equipment that conforms to DoDIN APL or DoDIN SPE requirements at the point of interface with the Government's network. If at any time during the performance of this contract/order the specified equipment will not be in compliance with the requirements of this provision, the TP must notify the Contracting Officer prior to installation. The Government has the right to review the equipment used at any time during this contract/order. When determined by the Government that an exception is in the Government's best interest, the Government or the TP may seek an exception to policy in accordance with DoDI 8100.04 or the DoDIN APL Process Guide to allow the TP to use equipment beneficial to the Government's mission.

The DoDIN Approved Products List and applicable procedures can be accessed at:

https://aplits.disa.mil/processAPList.action

The DoDIN Service Provider Equipment List can be accessed at:

https://aplits.disa.mil/dodinspe

The submission of this quote/proposal constitutes the Telecommunications Provider’s Certification that the TP has complied with the terms of the provision, and acknowledges that the TP’s continued compliance with the provision is a material precondition for the Government’s continued payment under the contract. TP must state in quote “BY

SUBMISSION OF THIS QUOTE, I (AS THE TP) CERTIFY THAT I UNDERSTAND THE PROVISION

OUTLINED AND WILL COMPLY.”
