OSS or end-to-end arrangement, Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall have total responsibility for end-to-end technical sufficiency and invoicing (i.e., end-to-end provisioning, restoral/maintenance, and invoicing) for entire service. Government may consider half circuit quotes when it is unsuccessful in obtaining an OSS/end-to-end quote, when OSS/end-to-end quote charges cannot be determined to be fair and reasonable, or when determined to be in best interest of U.S. Government. Therefore, all Contractors/TPs are advised to submit a half circuit quote in addition to any

OSS/end-to-end quote they provide. All half-circuit quotes must identify Contractor/TP that they have coordinated with to provide complete service, along with agreed upon circuit midpoint.

Such service extension charges will be considered in the evaluation of quotes. Quotes containing other than firm fixed price charges for installation, provision, and maintenance of service extensions may be excluded from consideration for award. The U.S. Government shall not be obligated to pay charges which are not specified in the quote and authorized in resultant Order. Contractor receiving this contract shall have total responsibility for end-to-end technical sufficiency (i.e., end-to-end provisioning and restoral/maintenance) for entire telecommunication service.

Contractor/TP may withdraw its quote at any time prior to U.S. Government issuing an Order or Circuit Demand. Upon receipt of a written quote withdrawal notification from a Contractor/TP, quote will be withdrawn and eliminated from further consideration by U.S. Government.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: “UNDERSTAND.”

STANDARD PROVISION - 23 - EVALUATION OF QUOTES-TECHNICAL/SERVICE

DATE/PRICE - AUG 2017

After receipt of quotations, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price quotation. If the lowest price quotation is determined to be technically acceptable and otherwise properly awardable, award will be made to that offeror. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the lowest price quotation or to conduct further evaluations of additional quotations. Quotes received in response to this Inquiry will be evaluated for technical acceptability, commitment to meet the required service date, and total price. Government contractor support may be utilized to analyze technical and price aspects of quotes submitted. The

Government intends to issue an Order/Circuit Demand to the Contractor/Telecommunication Provider (TP) whose quote is determined to be the lowest priced, technically acceptable quote that meets the government's service date. In the event that none of the quotes meets required service date, U.S. Government may consider quotes that agree to provide service on a date later than required service date. For evaluation purposes, total price will be determined by adding charges contained in the

Quote (NRC, MRC, and any expedite charges) for the total not to exceed contract period (i.e., not to exceed service life or term, as appropriate).

The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions or seek clarifications if the Contracting Officer (KO) determines they are necessary. If discussions are required, the number of quotations being competitively considered may be narrowed to the most highly rated quotations. The Government further reserves the right to reduce the number of quotations being competitively considered to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated quotations. If an offeror's quotation is removed from further consideration for award, written notice of the removal will be provided to the offeror. In the event issues pertaining to a proposed inquiry cannot be resolved to the KO's satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the proposed inquiry. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND."

STANDARD PROVISION - 27 - APPROVALS AND PERMITS - AUG 2017

Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP) receiving this contract shall be responsible for having or obtaining all approvals and permits necessary to provide this service. The requirement that the TP obtain all approvals and permits is a contract administration issue. Inability of Contractor/TP to obtain any such approval or permit shall not be a valid basis for not meeting service date or providing service. Failure of a Contractor/TP to obtain any approval or permit necessary to provide this service may result in termination of this contract by U.S. Government for default at no cost to U.S. Government and/or receipt of a negative past performance rating.

ACCEPTABLE CONTRACTOR/TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDER (TP) RESPONSE: "UNDERSTAND/WILL COMPLY.

STANDARD PROVISION - 28 - SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN - AUG 2017

Resulting contract, including all subcontracts, from this Inquiry is expected to be performed entirely within the U.S., its possessions or territories, the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, or the trust territories of the Pacific

Islands. Accordingly, large businesses are required to provide a small business subcontracting plan with their quote for procurements having an estimated value exceeding $700,000. If Contractor is a large business and does not provide a small business subcontracting plan with their quote, Contractor must provide a statutory or regulatory exemption or a written determination explaining why subcontracting opportunities are not available. A quote that fails to provide an acceptable subcontracting plan or that fails to adequately address why a subcontracting plan is not required or available may be excluded as unacceptable.

STANDARD PROVISION - 30 - CONTRACT PERIOD - AUG 2017

This telecommunications service contract shall continue on a month to month basis with a not to exceed date of_60 MONTHS_.

After this period the contract will be considered expired with no authority for service to continue unless mutually agreeable by both parties. Should service continue through the end of this contract period, no modification will be issued to authorize discontinuance of service. The minimum service period shall be one month. Accordingly the U.S. Government may discontinue service, at no additional cost to U.S. Government. U.S. Government will provide Contractor/Telecommunications Provider (TP)

30 days notice prior to discontinuing service before the not to exceed period. Contractors shall consider the ability of the

Government to discontinue service with 30 days notice when determining the reasonableness of incurring any costs. See

DFARS 252.239-7007, Cancellation Or Termination Of Orders.

Quotes that do not accept the minimum one month service period may be excluded from the competition and found unacceptable. In the event U.S. Government is unable to obtain quotes that meet this minimum service period, U.S.

Government may consider quotes with a minimum service period greater than one month.

The Government reserves the right to re-solicit these contracted services prior to the end of the not to exceed contract period when commercial market pricing demonstrates these services become available at lower prices.
