SOLICTATION INSTRUCTIONS

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

Addendum to 52.212-1(b), Submission of Offers is tailored as follows:

(b) Submission of offers:

(12) Other Instructions

(i) General Information

(A) Points of Contact: The contracting officer (KO) and contract specialist (CS) are the sole points of contact for this procurement. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the KO/CS. Written requests for clarification must be sent to the KO/CS at matthew.c.wessel2.civ@mail.mil and haylee.p.wheat.civ@mail.mil.

(B) Discrepancies: If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the KO in writing with supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

(C) Electronic Reference Documents: All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Contracting Opportunities page (SAM) web site at https://www.sam.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

(D) Communications: Exchanges of source selection information between the Government and offerors will be controlled by the KO and CS. Email will be used to transmit such information to the offeror and will include “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104” in the Subject line.

(ii) Offerors are requested to submit a written price proposal in response to the attached Request for Proposal (RFP). Information on submission of technical and price proposals is provided below. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of statements asserted in the proposal. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements.

Offerors shall assume the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and capabilities and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by the RFP and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The proposal should sufficiently address the requirements as stated in the RFP. Non-conformance with these instructions may result in removal of the proposal from further evaluation.

(iii) In accordance with (IAW) DISA Special Contract Requirement H1, each offeror shall specifically identify in its proposal whether or not any potential or actual Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest (OCCI), as described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.5, exists for this instant procurement. If the offeror believes that no OCCI exists, the OCCI response shall set forth sufficient details to support such a position. If an offeror believes that an actual or perceived OCCI does exist on the instant procurement, the offeror shall submit an OCCI plan with the proposal, explaining in detail how the OCCI will be mitigated and/or avoided.

(iv) Page limitations, if applicable, are identified below and will be treated as maximums. A page is defined as each face of a sheet of paper containing information. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two pages. Page size shall be

8.5 x 11 inches. If exceeded, excess pages will not be read or considered in evaluation of the proposal. The following items will not be considered when calculating page limits: cover page, table of contents, glossary, executive summary, generic resumes, past performances, OCCI mitigation plans, SCRM plans, GFP Attachment, Fixed Price Payment Plans, FAR/DFARS Provisions/Clauses attachment, and Section 508 compliance. In the event any evaluation notices are issued, page limitations may also be placed on those. Page limitations shall not be circumvented by including inserted text boxes/pop-ups or internet links to additional information; such inclusions are not acceptable and will not be considered part of a proposal.

The Government reserves the right not to consider for award any proposal that does not adhere to the administrative requirements of this RFP.

(v) Organization/Number of Copies/Page Limits. The offeror shall prepare the proposal as set forth in the Proposal Organization Table below. The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be within the required page limits and with the number of copies as specified. The contents of each proposal volume are described in the information to offerors paragraph as noted in the table below. To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. Each volume may contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. Tab indexing may be used to identify sections.

Additionally, each volume may contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, and with an explanation for each. Glossaries do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

(vi) Electronic Offers. The offeror shall submit volumes I through III in electronic format via email and must include “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104” in the Subject line. Each volume shall be a separate file. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression program must be included. Proposals shall be submitted to the KO/CS identified below:

Matthew Wessel (Contract Specialist) – matthew.c.wessel2.civ@mail.mil Haylee Wheat (KO) – haylee.p.wheat.civ@mail.mil

(vii) Proposal Organization:

(A) Volume I - Executive Summary. In the executive summary volume, the offeror shall describe the significant attributes and theme of its proposal. It should be concise, to include addressing any significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding price. Any summary material presented in the Executive Summary shall not be considered as meeting the requirements for any portions of other volumes of the proposal. Include a master table of contents for the entire proposal.

(D) Volume II – Price. The price proposal will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR Part 15.404 in order to determine reasonableness and completeness. Reasonableness is established through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For a price/cost proposal/quotation to be complete, all solicitation requirements must be priced, figures correctly calculated, and prices/costs presented in in a clear and useful format. You shall submit pricing for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8. See FAR 52.217-8 which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. The CLIN Pricing Worksheet should include a separate line item for the additional 6-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the 6 months prior to expiration of the base period, or the final option period, if option periods are present. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s proposed price for the base period, all option periods, the option pricing for the additional 6-month period, and surge pricing as requested below. The price proposal spreadsheet shall be submitted in MS Excel 2007 format or newer. All formulas shall remain present in the spreadsheet for verification. The file size of each document shall not exceed 20MB. Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless considered essential to document or support the price. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. The Offeror shall propose a fixed price payment plan as a separate document commensurate with the value of the deliverables and/or significant milestones in the PWS for this requirement. A firm fixed price payment plan with the total dollar amount divided into equal monthly payments will not be accepted unless the offeror provides justification for this plan that the Government subsequently deems adequate. The eventual awardee will be authorized to invoice monthly for all approved travel costs incurred and approved by the COR. Under no circumstances shall the information and documentation from the Price Volume be included elsewhere in the proposal other than Volume II, Price Volume and Volume III, Contract Documentation, which includes CLIN pricing.

Price submissions should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. Offerors should ensure price proposals include detailed information regarding the resources required to accomplish the task (e.g., labor categories, labor hours, number of employees for each labor category, rates, materials, etc.). Data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support the price reasonableness of your proposal in accordance with FAR 15.403.

FAR 12.504(a) The following laws are not applicable to subcontracts at any tier for the acquisition of commercial items or commercial components at any tier:

(End of provision revisions)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2(a)

Addendum to 52.212-2(a), Evaluation-Commercial Items is tailored as follows:

a. Basis for Contract Award

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) process. The technical proposal should include all information the offeror wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its ability to perform all required tasks and conform to all required terms and conditions. To be eligible for award, the offeror’s proposal must sufficiently address all aspects of the RFP. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award.

b. Evaluation Factors and Subfactors

(1) The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal.

Factor 1: Technical/Management

(a) Subfactor 1: Chair Dimensions - In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable must be a Tangier High Back Swivel Chair with N5V: Wood Base in oiled Ebony Finish with leather; Maharam Balm Fusion 700018-013, the dimensions to be 25’W x 31.5” Dx 44.5-47.5” Hx25.5-28.5”AHx 20-23” SH.

(b) Subfactor 2: Authorized Reseller - The offeror needs to be authorized to resell the brand name furniture in Subfactor 1.

Factor 2: Price

(a). Since this requirement is based on LPTA, award will be made to the contractor that presents the lowest priced technically acceptable approach. The contractor’s price proposal will be evaluated to determine if it is reasonable and complete. Normally, price reasonableness is established through price analysis. The Government will determine completeness of the offeror's proposal by verifying that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and costs are presented in a clear and useful format. The Government reserves the right to conduct a realism analysis of the proposed price.

c. Ratings

(1) Each technical/management subfactor will receive one of the ratings described in Table

1. The subfactor ratings will not be rolled up into an overall color rating for the Technical/Management factor.

The Technical/Management subfactors will be evaluated and rated either Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order for a proposal to be rated overall Technically Acceptable, each of the subfactors must be rated Acceptable.

Table 1. Technical/Management Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

e. Discussions

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without exchanges.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges or seek clarifications if the KO determines they are necessary. If exchanges are required, the number of proposals being competitively considered may be narrowed to all of the most highly rated proposals. The Government further reserves the right to reduce the number of proposals being competitively considered to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. If an offeror’s proposal is removed from further consideration for award, written notice of the removal will be provided to the offeror. In the event issues pertaining to the solicitation cannot be resolved to the KO's satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to cancel the solicitation. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing.

f. It is the sole responsibility of the offeror to ensure that the electronic files submitted are virus free and can be opened and read by the Government. Proposal submissions shall not be locked, encrypted, or otherwise contain barriers to opening the file(s). The Government is under no obligation to seek clarification regarding electronic proposal submissions if submissions cannot be opened or accessed. The Government reserves the right not to consider for award any proposal that does not adhere to the administrative requirements of this RFP.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.229-11 TAX ON CERTAIN FOREIGN PROCUREMENTS--NOTICE AND REPRESENTATION (JUN

2020)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means--

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if--

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C- 1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror would claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available via the internet at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that--

(1) It [_]is [_]is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates ``is'' in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that--I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 [__] a full exemption, or [__] partial or no exemption [Offeror shall select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then--

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract;

and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects ``is'' in paragraph (d)(1) and ``partial or no exemption'' in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.irs.gov/help/tax-law-questions.

(End of provision)

252.204-7016 COVERED DEFENSE TELECOMMUNICATIONS EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES --

REPRESENTATION (DEC 2019)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision, covered defense telecommunications equipment or services has the meaning provided in the clause 252.204-7018, Prohibition on the Acquisition of Covered Defense Telecommunications Equipment or Services.
