As determined by mutual agreement in specific TOs, the Government will provide additional property that may be required in the performance of this effort. At the request of the Government, or at completion of efforts required under this IDIQ, the Contractor will immediately return any Government-provided property, including any equipment, specialized or off-the-shelf software, and all other property provided by the Government for the contractor to use to complete this effort.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

L-1 GENERAL

Washington Headquarters Services/Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) intends to make multiple Indefinite- Delivery/Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) contract awards under a single full & open competition solicitation under NAICS Code 541990 with set-aside reserved for small businesses under NAICS Code 541611. Small businesses are encouraged to propose on the entire full & open competition requirements for both NAICS codes, but also have the option to submit proposals for solely the portion reserved for small business. If a small business chooses to propose on both, only one proposal package must be submitted with a marking on the cover page stating the desire to be included in both the small business reserve and the unrestricted competition. If a small business is selected for both a small business reserve award and an award under the unrestricted competition, only one contract covering both pools will be awarded. The contractor will be eligible for both the small business reserve task order competitions and the task order competitions under the unrestricted pool. Teaming Arrangements are allowable per Section H-3.0;

however, each team must specify a prime contractor.

Multiple offers will not be accepted. It is not acceptable for contractors to submit multiple offers with the same Contractor Team (even with different Prime Contractors) under the Small Business Reserve Pool or the Unrestricted Pool. It is however acceptable for the same Contractor Team to submit separate proposals under the Small Business Reserve Pool, and propose the same Contractor Team, with a different Prime Contractor, in the Unrestricted Pool.

For example, it is NOT acceptable to have Company A as the Prime Contractor and submit a response for the Small Business Reserve Pool with Company B as its Subcontractor, and to have Company B as the Prime Contractor and submit a response for the Small Business Reserve Pool with Company A as its Subcontractor.

It is acceptable to have Company A as the Prime Contractor and submit a response for the Small Business Reserve Pool with Company B as a subcontractor, and have Company B submit for the Unrestricted Pool as the Prime with Company A as a subcontractor.

The IDIQ will contain the option to issue Task Orders on a Fixed Price or Cost-Reimbursement, Labor Hour or Time & Materials (or combination thereof) basis. The small business set-aside IDIQ awards will only include Fixed Price Task Orders.

WHS/AD will evaluate proposals and make awards in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in Section M.

The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. The Offeror must unconditionally accept the terms and conditions of the RFP. Offerors cannot redline or condition proposals.

WHS/AD shall not be obligated to pay any cost incurred by the offeror in the preparation and submission of a proposal in response to the solicitation. The offeror is advised that the Contracting Officer is the only person who can legally obligate WHS/AD for the expenditure of public funds in connection with this procurement.

Offerors must complete the OCI Analysis and Disclosure Form (Attachment #7). It is the offeror’s responsibility to identify potential conflicts of interest. Conflicts must be described in adequate detail for the Contracting Officer to determine if an actual conflict exists and if it has been adequately mitigated (e.g., provide contract numbers of contracts that will continue to be supported, contracts that will be terminated, or contracts that will be lapsed to terminate any conflicts). See FAR 9.504(e). Notices to offerors of OCIs and their responses thereto are not negotiations or discussion as those terms are used in FAR 15.306(d). If an offeror determines that an actual or potential OCI does not currently exist they shall include a statement to that effect as part of the OCI analysis and disclosure form and are not required to submit a specific mitigation plan. When the offeror determines an actual or potential OCI exists, the offeror shall provide an IDIQ OCI mitigation plan which addresses how actual or potential OCI will be handled and mitigated on future task order awards. Failure to provide adequate information on an offeror’s avoidance or mitigation will result in the proposal being rejected and relieves the Government of any further responsibility to resolve OCI issues. Blocks 14- 16 will be filled-out by the IDIQ contracting officer for awarded IDIQ contracts.
