Company/Organization/Address:

Name & Title:

Signature: Date:

Telephone: FAX:

III. EVALUATION Criteria:

Please answer questions 1 through 13 using the following criteria. Circle only one response per question.

Rating Definition Note Exceptional (4)

Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded many to the government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub element being evaluated was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were highly effective.

To justify an “exceptional” rating, identify multiple significant events and state how they were of benefit to the government. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone merits an “exceptional” rating. Also, there should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

Very Good (3)

Performance met contractual requirements and exceeded some to the government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element or sub element being evaluated was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor were effective.

To justify a “very good” rating, identify a significant event and state how it was a benefit to the government. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

Satisfactory (2)

Performance met contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub element contained some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the contractor appeared to be or were satisfactory.

To justify a “satisfactory” rating, there should have been only minor problems, or major problems the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract/order. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified. A fundamental principle of assigning ratings is that contractors will not be evaluated with a rating lower than “satisfactory” solely for not performing beyond the requirements of the contract/order.

Marginal (1)

Performance did not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element or sub element being evaluated reflected a serious problem for which the contractor did not identify corrective actions. The contractor’s proposed actions were only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.

To justify a “marginal” performance rating, identify a significant event in each category that the contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it affected the government. A “marginal” rating should be supported by referencing the management tool that notified the contractor of the contractual deficiency (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency report or letter).

Unsatisfactory (0)

Performance did not meet most contractual requirements and recovery was not accomplished in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element or sub element contained a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions were ineffective.

To justify an “unsatisfactory” rating, identify multiple significant events in each category that the contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it affected the government. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone merits an “unsatisfactory” rating. An “unsatisfactory” rating should be supported by referencing the management tools used to notify the contractor of the contractual deficiencies (e.g., management, quality, safety, or environmental deficiency report or letter.

RESPONSES TO INDUSTRY QUESTION

SOLICITATION HQ0013-15-R-0001

Questions and Answers

Question 1.

We did not find pricing information pertaining to CLINs 000401 and 000402? What costs are included for CLINs 000401 and 000402?

Response:

CLINs 000401 and 000402 are informational CLINs established to facilitate funding by separate appropriations. The pricing information or “costs” for CLIN 0004 apply to SubCLINs 000401 and 000402.

Question 2.

Has a contractor performed similar work to this for the government in the past?

If available, please provide the incumbent contract number.

If you are unable to provide a contract number, is it safe to assume this is a new requirement for the government?

Response:

DIILS education support services are currently being performed under HQ0013-14-C-0002 by X Corp Solutions, Inc. This is not a new requirement.

Question 3.

Can the government please explain why it is not exercising the option period(s) on the current contract awarded in January 2014 which had a base period of 1 year and two option periods of 1 year each (per the following FBO notice:

https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=5f80cead1725f36d0aecef4fc7404f9f &tab=core&_cview=1 ). This information is of particular importance to 8(a) firms that are contemplating whether to pursue the new contract since knowing whether the new contract will be for 1 year or 3 impacts our decision to invest in pursuing this new contract, as well as our pricing.

Response:

DSCA assessed that the contract as awarded did not sufficiently ensure that the Government would receive its required level of services. Therefore, the government made corrections to the PWS which are included in HQ0013-15-R-0001.

Question 4.

Please update the CLIN descriptions. For example:

a. Several include language such as the following: CLIN 0001 - "Contractor shall perform services in accordance with Section 5.XX of the Performance Work Statement (PWS)". Please clearly identify appropriate sections (i.e., replace XX with specific Section identifiers) of the PWS in these CLIN descriptions.

Response:

Complete paragraph references have been incorporated into the CLIN description.

https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=5f80cead1725f36d0aecef4fc7404f9f&tab=core&_cview=1 https://www.fbo.gov/index?s=opportunity&mode=form&id=5f80cead1725f36d0aecef4fc7404f9f&tab=core&_cview=1

b. Please explain what is meant by the following CLIN description: 00004 - Admin. Assistance 120x/DRC.

Response:

As indicated in the response to Question 1, CLINs 000401 and 000402 are informational CLINs established to facilitate funding by separate appropriations. The pricing information under CLIN 0004 applies to SubCLINs 000401 and 000402.

120X/DRC refers to DIILS Programs as described in the Performance Work Statement.

- 120X refers to the Global Train and Equip 1206/1207/120X/GSCF Human Rights Training (Global T&E). NOTE “120X” has been changed to “Global T&E”.

- DRC refers to the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

c. Please explain the following CLINs: 000401 - 120X Funding and 000402 - DRC Funding.

Response:

As indicated in the response to Question 1, CLINs 000401 and 000402 are informational CLINs established to facilitate funding by separate appropriations. The pricing information under CLIN 0004 applies. NOTE “120X” has been changed to “Global T&E”.

Question 5.

The "CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE" include: 52.222-41 Service Contract Labor Standards. In this context, requiring Offerors to submit resumes of candidates (with very specific DIILS experience) for various positions appears to contradict the Service Contract Act and the associated "Non Displacement of Qualified Workers" requirement. In other words, if incumbent qualified workers cannot be displaced, what is the point of requiring offerors to submit resumes of candidates who cannot be hired in the first place since incumbents will have to be offered the right of first refusal? It appears that this requirement benefits only the incumbent contractor. Please clarify.

Response:

Service Contract Act applies to Administrative Assistance positions, Occupation Code 1020, only. FAR 52.222-17 “Non Displacement of Qualified Workers” is incorporated under this amendment. As indicated in paragraph (b) of the clause, “The Contractor and its subcontractors shall, except as otherwise provided herein, in good faith offer those service employees employed under the predecessor contract whose employment will be terminated as a result of award of this contract or the expiration of the contract under which the service employees were hired, a right of first refusal of employment under this contract in positions for which the service employees are qualified”. Right of first refusal does not guarantee acceptance by the service employees. In accordance with the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items

(page 37 of 115 “Original Solicitation”) and 52.212-2, Evaluation Offerors – Commercial Items (page 41 of 115 “Original Solicitation”), Offeror shall provide resumes of proposed personnel.

Question 6.

The Past Performance Questionnaires are due NLT 2PM ON 24 November 2014 while proposals are due NLT than 2PM (EST) 01 December 2014. Can the government please make the Past Performance Questionnaires also due NLT than 2PM (EST) 01 December 2014 to provide adequate time for Offerors to contact references and request their inputs.

Response:

The submission date for the Past Performance Questionnaires has been revised to 2PM (EST) 01 December 2014.

Question 7.

Regarding the DIILS education support services requirement, HQ0013-15-R-0001: Is this related to the requirement that was just awarded last December to X-Corp Solutions, HQ0013-14-C- 0002? I am assuming it is being re-competed early? If they are not related, can you please provide the name of the previous contractor and the contract number associated with this work?

Response:

DIILS education support services are currently being performed under HQ0013-14-C-0002 by X Corp Solutions, Inc. Solicitation HQ0013-15-R-0001 is a recompete of the existing contract.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.203-16 Preventing Personal Conflicts of Interest (DEC 2011)

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

Acquisition function closely associated with inherently governmental functions means supporting or providing advice or recommendations with regard to the following activities of a Federal agency:

(1) Planning acquisitions.

(2) Determining what supplies or services are to be acquired by the Government, including developing statements of work.

(3) Developing or approving any contractual documents, to include documents defining requirements, incentive plans, and evaluation criteria.

(4) Evaluating contract proposals.

(5) Awarding Government contracts.

(6) Administering contracts (including ordering changes or giving technical direction in contract performance or contract quantities, evaluating contractor performance, and accepting or rejecting contractor products or services).

(7) Terminating contracts.

(8) Determining whether contract costs are reasonable, allocable, and allowable.

Covered employee means an individual who performs an acquisition function closely associated with inherently governmental functions and is--

(1) An employee of the contractor; or

(2) A subcontractor that is a self-employed individual treated as a covered employee of the contractor because there is no employer to whom such an individual could submit the required disclosures.

Non-public information means any Government or third-party information that--

(1) Is exempt from disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) or otherwise protected from disclosure by statute, Executive order, or regulation; or

(2) Has not been disseminated to the general public and the Government has not yet determined whether the information can or will be made available to the public.

Personal conflict of interest means a situation in which a covered employee has a financial interest, personal activity, or relationship that could impair the employee's ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Government when performing under the contract. (A de minimis interest that would not ``impair the employee's ability to act impartially and in the best interest of the Government'' is not covered under this definition.)

(1) Among the sources of personal conflicts of interest are--

(i) Financial interests of the covered employee, of close family members, or of other members of the covered employee's household;

(ii) Other employment or financial relationships (including seeking or negotiating for prospective employment or business); and

(iii) Gifts, including travel.

(2) For example, financial interests referred to in paragraph (1) of this definition may arise from--

(i) Compensation, including wages, salaries, commissions, professional fees, or fees for business referrals;

(ii) Consulting relationships (including commercial and professional consulting and service arrangements, scientific and technical advisory board memberships, or serving as an expert witness in litigation);

(iii) Services provided in exchange for honorariums or travel expense reimbursements;

(iv) Research funding or other forms of research support;

(v) Investment in the form of stock or bond ownership or partnership interest (excluding diversified mutual fund investments);

(vi) Real estate investments;

(vii) Patents, copyrights, and other intellectual property interests; or

(viii) Business ownership and investment interests.

(b) Requirements. The Contractor shall--

(1) Have procedures in place to screen covered employees for potential personal conflicts of interest, by--

(i) Obtaining and maintaining from each covered employee, when the employee is initially assigned to the task under the contract, a disclosure of interests that might be affected by the task to which the employee has been assigned, as follows:

(A) Financial interests of the covered employee, of close family members, or of other members of the covered employee's household.

(B) Other employment or financial relationships of the covered employee (including seeking or negotiating for prospective employment or business).

(C) Gifts, including travel; and

(ii) Requiring each covered employee to update the disclosure statement whenever the employee's personal or financial circumstances change in such a way that a new personal conflict of interest might occur because of the task the covered employee is performing.

(2) For each covered employee--

(i) Prevent personal conflicts of interest, including not assigning or allowing a covered employee to perform any task under the contract for which the Contractor has identified a personal conflict of interest for the employee that the Contractor or employee cannot satisfactorily prevent or mitigate in consultation with the contracting agency;

(ii) Prohibit use of non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract for personal gain; and

(iii) Obtain a signed non-disclosure agreement to prohibit disclosure of non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract.

(3) Inform covered employees of their obligation--

(i) To disclose and prevent personal conflicts of interest;

(ii) Not to use non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract for personal gain;

and

(iii) To avoid even the appearance of personal conflicts of interest;

(4) Maintain effective oversight to verify compliance with personal conflict-of-interest safeguards;

(5) Take appropriate disciplinary action in the case of covered employees who fail to comply with policies established pursuant to this clause; and

(6) Report to the Contracting Officer any personal conflict-of-interest violation by a covered employee as soon as it is identified. This report shall include a description of the violation and the proposed actions to be taken by the Contractor in response to the violation. Provide follow-up reports of corrective actions taken, as necessary. Personal conflict-of-interest violations include--

(i) Failure by a covered employee to disclose a personal conflict of interest;

(ii) Use by a covered employee of non-public information accessed through performance of a Government contract for personal gain; and

(iii) Failure of a covered employee to comply with the terms of a non-disclosure agreement.

(c) Mitigation or waiver. (1) In exceptional circumstances, if the Contractor cannot satisfactorily prevent a personal conflict of interest as required by paragraph (b)(2)(i) of this clause, the Contractor may submit a request through the Contracting Officer to the Head of the Contracting Activity for--

(i) Agreement to a plan to mitigate the personal conflict of interest; or

(ii) A waiver of the requirement.

(2) The Contractor shall include in the request any proposed mitigation of the personal conflict of interest.

(3) The Contractor shall--

(i) Comply, and require compliance by the covered employee, with any conditions imposed by the Government as necessary to mitigate the personal conflict of interest; or

(ii) Remove the Contractor employee or subcontractor employee from performance of the contract or terminate the applicable subcontract.

(d) Subcontract flowdown. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (d), in subcontracts--

(1) That exceed $150,000; and

(2) In which subcontractor employees will perform acquisition functions closely associated with inherently governmental functions (i.e., instead of performance only by a self-employed individual).

(End of clause)

(c) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in all subcontracts over the simplified acquisition threshold.

(End of clause)

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (APR 2014)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. (1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to--GSA Federal Supply Service Specifications Section, Suite 8100, 470 East L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC 20407, Telephone (202) 619-8925, Facsimile (202) 619-8978.
