ORDERING PROCEDURES

TASK ORDER ISSUANCE PROCEDURES

1. GENERAL

1.1 Work under this contract will be ordered by written Task Orders (TO) issued on DD Form 1155 Order for Supplies and Services to the contractor by the Procuring Contracting Officer/Ordering Officer.

1.2 Each award as a result of this solicitation will cite an individual contract number. Individual Task Orders will be placed in a sequential numbering system, which relate back to the basic contract and their assigned Proposed Task Order (PTO) Number.

1.3 The Government will not be obligated to reimburse the contractor for work performed, items delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the contractor be obligated to perform, delivery, or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by duly executed Task Orders.

2. TASK ORDERS

Orders will be awarded at a firm-fixed price. The government may also request the contractors to submit rough estimates on price and schedule, and responses to other considerations, as appropriate, for preliminary evaluation and then select contractors most likely to submit highest value solutions for submittal of final proposals for Task Order award. The government may use various delivery approaches such as design/bid/build, design/build, or some combination of these arrangements, or other project delivery approaches approved by HQ Defense Commissary Agency. Each Task Order will contain applicable clauses and provisions specifying the competitive considerations, specific submittal requirements and evaluation factors.

3. COMPETITION FOR TASK ORDERS

3.1 Competition for issuance of Task Orders is limited to those awardees under this contract. All awardees will be given a fair opportunity and will be able to submit proposals on any of the projects that are within their bonding capacity, subject to the following exceptions: 1) Projects valued under $3.5 Million will be set aside, at the Contracting Officers discretion, for competition or sole source acquisition among the SCIP III 8(a) contractors, 2) Projects valued under $12.5 Million will be evaluated and a determination will be made whether there are two or more small business contractors able to do the work and provide a fair price, 3) All projects in excess of $12.5 Million and any project not deemed acceptable under one of the other two set aside programs will be issued for full and open competition.

3.2 Unless the Contracting Officer applies one of the exceptions noted above, each Task Order will be awarded as a result of competition to the contractor who offers the best value to the Government considering the criteria specified. The Contracting Officer’s decision as to the selection for award of a Task Order is not protestable unless the protest is on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period of performance, or maximum value of the contract.

3.3 The contracting officer may also use a multi-phased approach to encourage contractor response and exchange of information as part of the order solicitation process. When requirements are resource intensive, complex, or need additional development, the contracting officer may request that contractors submit rough estimates on price and schedule, and responses to other considerations, as appropriate (such as comments on the government’s preliminary plans and proposed conceptual approach, opportunities for economy and efficiency, past performance, schedule considerations, architect-engineer team capabilities, and other factors as may be defined) for preliminary evaluation by the government. Following this preliminary evaluation, contractors considered the most likely to submit highest value solutions may then be selected for submittal of final proposals for Task Order Award. After the preliminary evaluation, the selected contactors may be required to participate in one-on-one sessions with the government to increase their understanding of the requirements, provide suggestions for refining requirements, discuss risk reduction measures, address anticipated material, resource and equipment availability and comment on constructability means and methods, among other considerations, prior to submittal of final proposals for Task Order Award.

4. REQUIREMENTS FOR TASK ORDER PROPOSALS

4.1 The Government is not obligated to hold discussions prior to award of a Task Order. If the Government determines that proposals are necessary, proposals may be submitted in writing or oral form at the discretion of the Contracting Officer. Should all proposals contain deficiencies that would preclude awarding the Task Order, discussions will commence to resolve the deficiencies and contractors will be provided an opportunity to submit a final proposal revision.

4.2 Technical Proposals, if required, may address one or more factors, including the following:

4.2.1 Proposed design solutions

4.2.2 Design and construction capabilities

4.2.3 The contractor’s technical understanding of the work

4.2.4 The most efficient and effective plan to accomplish the work

4.2.5 Proposed materials, type, and quantities and rationale for selection

4.2.6 Project scheduling information

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.225-9 BUY AMERICAN ACT—CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS (SEP 2010)

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

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item—

(1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is--

(i) A commercial item (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition at FAR 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in section 3 of the Shipping Act of 1984 (46 U.S.C. App. 1702), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

Component means an article, material, or supply incorporated directly into a construction material.

Construction material means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means--

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Domestic construction material means--

(1) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States;

(2) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if--

(i) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 50 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic; or

(ii) The construction material is a COTS item.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference.

(1) This clause implements the Buy American Act (41 U.S.C. 10a-10d) by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 431, the component test of the Buy American Act is waived for construction material that is a COTS item (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial item or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows: None.

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other foreign construction material to the list in paragraph (b)(2) of this clause if the Government determines that

(i) The cost of domestic construction material would be unreasonable. The cost of a particular domestic construction material subject to the requirements of the Buy American Act is unreasonable when the cost of such material exceeds the cost of foreign material by more than 6 percent;

(ii) The application of the restriction of the Buy American Act to a particular construction material would be impracticable or inconsistent with the public interest; or

(iii) The construction material is not mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States in sufficient and reasonably available commercial quantities of a satisfactory quality.

(c) Request for determination of inapplicability of the Buy American Act. (1)(i) Any Contractor request to use foreign construction material in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause shall include adequate information for Government evaluation of the request, including--

(A) A description of the foreign and domestic construction materials;

(B) Unit of measure;

(C) Quantity;

(D) Price;

(E) Time of delivery or availability;

(F) Location of the construction project;

(G) Name and address of the proposed supplier; and

(H) A detailed justification of the reason for use of foreign construction materials cited in accordance with paragraph (b)(3) of this clause.

(ii) A request based on unreasonable cost shall include a reasonable survey of the market and a completed price comparison table in the format in paragraph (d) of this clause.

(iii) The price of construction material shall include all delivery costs to the construction site and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free certificate may be issued).

(iv) Any Contractor request for a determination submitted after contract award shall explain why the Contractor could not reasonably foresee the need for such determination and could not have requested the determination before contract award. If the Contractor does not submit a satisfactory explanation, the Contracting Officer need not make a determination.

(2) If the Government determines after contract award that an exception to the Buy American Act applies and the Contracting Officer and the Contractor negotiate adequate consideration, the Contracting Officer will modify the contract to allow use of the foreign construction material.
