ORDERING PROCEDURES
Ordering - Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity Task Order (TOs) Contracts
This section provides guidance regarding contract administration for the Basic Contract, and where applicable, for each Task Order placed under the Basic Contract. Additional contract administration requirements may be specified in each Task Order.
Pursuant to FAR 16.504(a)(4)(vi), only authorized users may place Task Orders under the Basic Contract. In order to qualify as an authorized user, a duly warranted Contracting Officer (as that term is defined in FAR 2.1) in good standing must have an appropriate signed delegation of authority. For purposes of this Basic Contract, warranted Contracting Officers of the Washington Headquarters Services / Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) are authorized users.
Services to be furnished under this contract shall be furnished solely at such times as ordered by the issuance of Task Orders by the Contracting Officer. All Task Orders are subject to the terms and conditions of the Basic Contract. The Basic Contract will control in the event of conflict with any order.
One or more Task Orders may be issued during the performance period of this contract. The Contractor agrees to accept and perform Task Orders issued by the Task Order Contracting Officer within the scope of this agreement. It is understood and agreed that the Government has no obligation to issue any Task Orders except the minimum order.
In accordance with the Federal Acquisition Streamlining Act (FASA) and FAR 16.505(b), the Contracting Officer will give all awardees a "fair opportunity."
ORDERING INFORMATION (Task Orders issued will include, but not be limited to the following information (when applicable).
Orders will be awarded using the following procedures:
• The Government will identify which Functional Category the Task Order will be issued under.
• The Government will issue a Perfomance Work Statement (PWS) describing specific work to be performed.
• The Contractors shall provide the Contracting Officer an original and copies (as specified) of a complete, detailed proposal. The proposal shall address Technical, Price and any other pertinent information described in the Request for Proposal (RFP).
• The evaluation factors for each Task Order will be described in the solicitation for each Task Order.
• Upon proposal receipt, WHS/AD will evaluate all proposals, conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer, and make an award to the Offeror proposing the best overall value to the Government.
• The Contracting Officer may make deviations to this process due to unique circumstances as determined appropriate on individual requirements. The Contracting Officer shall utilize FAR 16.505(b) as a guideline if a deviation to the order placement procedures is intended.
• For this contract, the designated Task Order ombudsman is David Kao, Competition Advocate for WHS/AD. 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.
• This does not guarantee the Contractor issuance of any task order above the minimum guarantees stated in the Basic Contract.
Order Information
Orders issued shall include, but not be limited to the following information (when applicable):
• Date of order.
• Contract and order number.
• Type of Order.
• Appropriation and accounting data.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT
52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)
(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, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative 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.

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR-COMMERICAL ITEMS (ADDENDUM)
Washington Headquarters Services / Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) is releasing this solicitation, electronically only, through Federal Business Opportunities (FBO). This Request for Proposal (RFP) is the official version for this acquisition. No hard copy of this solicitation will be issued. Offerors will be notified of any and all applicable amendments to this solicitation electronically through FBO. Offerors shall submit their proposals electronically. Any proposal received after the due date and time specified for receipt will be considered late and will be rejected.
The Government anticipates award of multiple Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts along with Task Orders 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to the responsible Offeror(s) that submits the best value offer, which means the offer that is most advantageous to the Government based upon the evaluation factors discussed later in this Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government anticipates award of multiple IDIQ contracts in each Functional Category (FC) outlined below:
• FC 1: Security Cooperation Support
• FC 2: AM&E Training*
• FC 3: Evaluations*
• FC 4: Program Management, Budgeting and Staff Augmentation
*Note: FC 2 and FC 3 are designated as small business set-asides, FAR 52.219-6 applies.
Offerors will not be permitted to submit proposals for award of an IDIQ contract under FC 1 and FC 3, simultaneously, under this solicitation. Offerors shall clearly identify if they are submitting a proposal for FC 1 or FC 3 using the table in Section B, Administrative Information below. This restriction is included to ensure that evaluations provide an independent review of security cooperation programs, possibly avoiding any conflict of interest from a single Offeror performing both functions. Offerors are permitted to submit offers for FC 2 and/or FC 4 in addition to FC 1 or FC 3, depending on business size. The Government reserves the right to not evaluate proposals if it is not clear to the Government which functional categories an Offeror is submitting to.
All Offerors must comply with the following instructions for proposal format and content. Proposals that do not comply with these instructions may be deemed nonresponsive and may render the Offeror ineligible for award. The Offeror shall submit documentation illustrating its approach for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Proposals must be clear, coherent, and prepared in sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the Offeror’s proposal against the evaluation criteria. The documentation shall address all aspects of this solicitation and include the Offeror’s approach to performing and satisfying the requirements specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).
The Government intends to award without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be in the Government’s best interest
