Section H - Special Contract Requirements

H1 ORDERING PROCEDURES

A. All BTRIC Contractors shall be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each Task Order pursuant to the procedures established in this clause. However, the Contracting Officer may determine that an Exception to Fair Opportunity (ETFO) exists and limit the number of BTRIC contractors to one or more eligible to submit proposals. In this case, offerer proposals and, if necessary, down-select procedures will be requested and processed in either the streamlined or full competition format discussed in paragraph B below. The following circumstances classify as ETFO:

1. The agency's need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity to all Contractors would result in unacceptable delays;

2. Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized;

3. The order must be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity pursuant to the procedures in this clause to be considered for the original order; or

4. It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

B. Task Order competition will occur using the following procedures. (note: The Contracting Officer may make deviations to this process due to unique circumstances on individual requirements.)

1. Proposals will be requested from contractors using a Task Order Requirement Package (TORP) cover letter. The cover letter will discuss the contents of the TORP, the terms and conditions of the task order contract, a short overview of the work involved to include the estimated project value and any planned phases, instructions to offerors and evaluation criteria. The TORP will contain either a Statement of Objectives (SOO) or Statement of Work (SOW) and any applicable reference material.

a. Statement of Objectives (SOO) - Contractor will perform in accordance with their proposed SOW that was developed in response to a Government–issued SOO.

b. Statement of Work (SOW) - the Government will require the contractor to perform in accordance with a government-prescribed SOW.

2. One of two processes will be used for competitive actions initiated by the TORP cover letter. Regardless of the procedures used, all proposals shall be submitted by the time specified in the TORP, and the Government reserves the right to award orders without discussions. For competitive actions, unsuccessful offerors will be notified in accordance with FAR 15.503(b).

a. Competitive - Streamlined Proposal

(1) The government will release a TORP to BTRIC contractors soliciting a Top Level Work Plan (TLWP).

(2) Based on the SOO or SOW, the Contractors provide Top-level Work Plans (estimated response time is 5 working days) that shall include the following information:

(a) Executive Summary Work Plan. Normally 5 pages, outlining the Contractors concept of approach to satisfy the Government's technical and performance requirements.

(b) Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) cost estimate which includes the Contractor's total estimated ROM cost of the project with fee rate specified, the estimated period of performance, labor skill mix with the estimate of hours to complete the task and all other cost factors (i.e. materials, subcontracts, etc.).

(3) The Government will evaluate the Top-level Work Plans, the contractor's past performance on this and other contracts, and the ROM.

(4) Based on the evaluation, a selected contractor will be requested to submit an original and copies (as specified) of a complete, detailed proposal that contains the following:

(a). The comprehensive technical and management approach to accomplish the effort (to include a SOW if a SOO is issued with the TORP)

(b). Detailed cost or pricing in accordance with the instructions set forth in the detailed proposal request and FAR 15.403-5, table 15-2.

(c). Proposed schedule for completing the task order effort.

(d). Any other requested and/or pertinent information.

(5) Upon detailed proposal receipt, the Contracting Officer and Technical Representatives will evaluate the submission, conduct discussions/negotiations if necessary and award the task order.

b. Competitive - Full Proposal

(1) The government will release a TORP to BTRIC contractors soliciting a full cost and technical proposal.

(2) The Contractors shall all provide the Contracting Officer an original and copies (as specified) of a complete, detailed proposal as outlined in paragraph B.2.a.(4)

(3) Upon proposal receipt, the Contracting Officer and Technical Representatives will review all proposals, conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer, and make award to the offeror proposing the best overall value to the Government.

C. During the evaluation of the Top-Level Work Plans or Full Proposals described in paragraph B., the Government review will consider the factors listed below. The order of importance will be specified in the TORP cover letter. Contractor selection will be based on an integrated assessment of all the consideration factors.

1. Specific technical and/or management capabilities

2. Contractor performance on prior Task Orders (Contractors with no prior task order performance will receive a neutral rating.)

a. Cost control

b. Quality of work

c. Customer satisfaction

d. Compliance with law/regulation

3. On-site availability/In-country continuity

4. Cost

D. Under the provisions of the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994, 10 U.S.C. 2304 (c) (Public Law 103-355), a protest is not authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an individual Task Order except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract under which the order is issued.

E. For this contract, the designated Task Order ombudsman is Mr. Edward Archer, DTRA/ADBE-OSBP, (703) 767-7889. The Task Order ombudsman is responsible for reviewing complaints from multiple award Contractors and ensuring that all of the Contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for Task Orders consistent with procedures in the contract. However, it is not within the designated Task Order contract ombudsman's authority to prevent the issuance of an order or disturb an existing order.

F. This clause does not guarantee the Contractor issuance of any Task Order above the minimum guarantees stated in Section B of this contract.

G. In some instances the government will select a contractor based on the competitive procedures described in paragraph B., then execute the task order in a phased manner to better manage the risks (cost, schedule, and performance) associated with the effort. If all contractors were given an opportunity to initially compete for the complete task order, any award of the task order phases will not be considered as having been awarded as exceptions to fair opportunity. Notwithstanding the Government’s intent to award all phases to the selected contractor, the Government reserves the right to re-compete and/or award any remaining phases to another source, should it be determined to be in the Government’s best interest to do so.

H2 IMPLEMENTATION OF DISCLOSURE OF INFORMATION

See Clause 252.204-9004 (June 2007)

H3 TEAMING ARRANGEMENTS

(a) If this contract was awarded from an offer submitted on the basis of a teaming arrangement (signed teaming arrangements and/or Letter of Commitment), the Government's consideration of the Contractor for placement of task orders will reflect the teaming arrangement. In the event that the teaming arrangement is dissolved or significantly changed, the Government reserves the right to reconsider the suitability of the changed arrangements for purposes of issuing task orders.

(b) Should it become advantageous to deviate from the initial teaming arrangement, the Contractor should request approval from the Contracting Officer before making such arrangements.

(c) This does not authorize Contractor team arrangements in violation of antitrust statutes or limit the Government's right to require consent to subcontract. The prime Contractor is held fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any teaming arrangement between the prime Contractor and its subcontractors.

(d) Notwithstanding the above teaming arrangements and issues relating to consent, all teaming arrangement (subcontract) pricing must be supported in accordance with FAR 15.404-3. Subcontract cost and pricing data, as appropriate, should be presented in task order proposals.

(e) The Government will not recognize exclusive teaming arrangements between U.S. Contractors and host nation subcontractors who are the only host nation authorized performers. (i.e. If the only Ministry of Defense (MoD) approved company (Ukrainian Company XYZ) and U.S. Company ABC has a teaming arrangement, DTRA will not recognize this if it is an exclusive arrangement. Non-exclusive arrangements with these subcontractors are acceptable.)

(f) The following subcontractors were evaluated during source selection and are considered to be team members. It is not necessary to compete these subcontractors at the Task Order level. Subcontract costs must still be determined to be fair and reasonable against each individual Task Order issued.

___To Be Determined At Contract Award____________
