PWS

1. Background:

The Defense Security Service (DSS) mission with cleared insdustry requires information and threat intelligence to strengthen assessments of the supply chain risk to critical program information and technology resident in cleared industry.

2. Objective:

This business process reengineering (BPR) project continues previous work, and will assist in driving cultural change in DSS as well as the Intelligence Community. DSS will accomplish this objective by enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of its analytical capabilities.

Effectiveness and efficiency will be improved through incorporating commercial due diligence type analytical methodology to more effectively detect risk posed to critical technologies by illicit supply chains. In addition, DSS will be better positioned to inform supply chain risk managers about vulnerabilities identified in the Defense program’s supply chains.

The commercial due diligence type analysis and subsequent report will allow will DSS to:

- Identify threats and vulnerabilities that potentially impact national security

- Identify the potential for illicit activity in supply networks and the methods used to conceal that activity using open sources to assess historical activities

- Identify funding from foreign intelligence or terrorist entities

- Decompose and recompose defense technology supply chains

This will provide an enhanced understanding of the integration and nature of commercial relationships between foreign entities, cleared contractors and threats/vulnerabilities of their business practices. This will also facilitate the identification, interdiction and/or neutralization of illicit commercial networks before they manifest as a threat to national security.

3. Scope:

The contractor will provide commercial due diligence type studies, reports, and analysis to map out the financial and business practices of companies engaged in selected DoD programs to assist in the understanding of the relationships between foreign entities, cleared companies, and threats or vulnerabilities inherent in financial and/or business practices between foreign entities and cleared companies.

The contractor will use a framework to proactively identify entities (persons, organization or companies) that pose a threat or vulnerability to the supply chain of Major Defense Acquisition Program (MDAP). The key steps in this process include:

1. Illumination of the Supply Chain: Identify the key components and suppliers

2. Assess the threat or vulnerability of the key suppliers: Determine a “risk” score for each entity for each category and an overall “risk” score by averaging individual category scores.

a. Categories include but are not limited to: Parent, Location, Personnel, Industry

Breadth, Finances, Bankruptcy, Legal, Customers, Foreign Influence, Partners.

b. A “risk” scale will be determined for each of these factors and presented for approval by DSS.

3. Perform an in-depth Due Diligence type analysis on entities that exceed the acceptable “risk” score as determined by DSS and the customer.

4. Level of Expertise Required:

The contractor shall have demonstrated experience performing similar due diligence, research, and analysis for other Intelligence Community clients with emphasis on supply chain risk analysis and research, development, and acquisition programs. The contractor shall have demonstrated international reach and access to globally deployed business professionals and cross-functional expertise in multiple commercial industries with the following capabilities:

• Major mergers and acquisitions (M&A) due diligence

• Competitive intelligence

• Financial risk analysis

• Global supply chain risk management

• Risk identification and modeling

• Risk analysis, assessments, and impact measurements

• Risk monitoring and evaluation

• Audit, tax, and regulatory compliance

5. Deliverables:

The successful Contractor shall perform studies of DoD programs using due diligence methodologies drawing on publicly available information for each program. The Contractor shall characterize business networks and platforms within programs by focusing on the prime and subcontractors, foreign entities, key executives, targeted industries, technologies, and supply chains, using publicly available information. The Contractor shall not contact representatives or employees of prime or subcontractors involved in the specified programs on in the performance of this work. All deliverables shall be submitted electronically to the contracting officer’s representative (COR).

Deliverable 0001: Defense Program Supply Chain Map – Contractor will represent the Contractor identified or government provided links between contractors/suppliers and the program offices. The graph will depict the domestic and the foreign suppliers to facilities and companies manufacturing and producing technology for integration into the Defense program. The map will be delivered in hard copy and in structured digital data (csv or exl files).

Deliverable 0002: Assessments of Company or Supplier Risk to a Defense Program – The Contractor will provide an assessment of contractor identified or government provided companies or suppliers using a structured, repeatable, and feasible methodology for evaluating risk. Each assessment will include an overview of the company or supplier, company or supplier identifying information, an explanation of the relationship to the Defense programs, and the quantitative results of the risk assessments. The Contractor will include a list of sources and proprietary business or financial analysis used to score each factor in the risk assessment methodology.

Deliverable 0003: Overall Assessment of Supply Chain Risk to a Defense Program – The Contractor will provide a quantitative assessment of the risk to a Defense Program based only on the information available to the contractor to make the assessment using the factors and scaling discussed in the scope paragraph. This deliverable will include an overview of the program and an analysis of the numerical data used to make the overall assessment.

Monthly status reports: Each monthly status report shall detail progress and issues. The report shall contain the prior month’s starting point and the progress made during the month as well as any issues that need to be addressed.

6. Deliverable Schedule:

The contractor shall provide all reports no later than 120 days after contract award (unless otherwise stated in the task order) to complete the review, provide the assessment and findings. Monthly reports are due by noon on the second Monday of the month, except when a Monday is a Federal holiday in which case the report is due by noon on the second Tuesday.

7. Period of Performance:

120 days from the date of contract

8. Place of Performance:

The Contractor shall require access to DSS Headquarters facility for meetings and initial collection of data to perform assigned task. The Contractor shall utilize their own facility for the performance of the work identified in this statement of work.

9. Additional/Special Requirements:

Conflict of Interest: The Contractor shall not consider or recommend in the reports required by this solicitation any software solution written, provided or sold by the Contractor and DSS shall not purchase any software solution written, provided or sold by the contractor. Work under this contract may lead to Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI). The contractor shall notify the CO immediately whenever it becomes aware that a violation of DFARS 252.209-7006 and/or 252.209- 7007 has occurred or has the potential to occur. If the contractor believes an OCI is viable or potential OCI could occur the vendor shall promptly submit a plan to the CO to avoid or mitigate the proposed OCI. The contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the CO and in the event the CO unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the CO may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.

b. Non Disclosure Agreements: The Contractor shall not publish or disclose in any manner, without the Contracting Officer’s written consent, the details of any safeguards either designed or developed by the Contractor under this contract or otherwise provided by the Government.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

This is a combined synopsis/solicitation for commercial items prepared in accordance with the format in FAR Subpart 12.6 as supplemented with additional information included in this notice. This announcement constitutes the only solicitation; there will not be an additional solicitation issued after this notice. This acquisition will be conducted in accordance with FAR 13.5, Test Program for Certain Commercial Items. This solicitation document incorporates provisions and clauses that were in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 05-76 dated 25 July

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1: Technical Response Factor 2: Staffing Plan Factor 3: Management Plan Factor 4: Past Performance Factor 5: Price https://www.acquisition.gov/

(1). FACTOR 1 – Technical Response: The Offeror shall demonstrate understanding of the requirements of the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The proposal will be evaluated based on the proposed approach to perform the work.

(2) FACTOR 2 - Staffing Plan: The offeror’s proposal will be evaluated to determine if the staffing plan is reasonable to ensure adequate level of personnel to perform the work and if the proposed personnel possess adequate education and experience to successfully perform the contract work effort in accordance with the performance work statement.

(3) FACTOR 3 – Management Plan: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the proposed management process and procedures are adequate to ensure timely and quality performance of the PWS requirements.

(4) FACTOR 4- Past Performance: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the past performance examples provided are of a similar scope and magnitude of this requirement.

(5) FACTOR 5- Price: Price analysis will be used to determine that the prices are fair and reasonable. Price will not be assigned an adjectival rating or be scored. This part of the proposal shall include details for all resources required to accomplish the requirements (e.g., labor hours, rates, incidental equipment, etc.). The price proposal shall identify labor categories in accordance with the Labor Rate Tables contained within the offeror's base contact.

Provide a billing schedule for the base year and all option years (billing schedule shall be based on the deliverable schedule) of each task order.

(6). Relative Importance of Factors. The relative importance of each factor is as follows: Factor 1, Factor 2, Factor 3, Factor 4 are of equal importance. All evaluation factors other than Price, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

Technical/Risk Ratings The following adjectival ratings and assessments will be used for Factor 1 – Factor 3 as defined below:

Combined Technical/Risk Ratings Rating Description Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies.

Proposal is unawardable.

Factor 4 (Past Performance) will be evaluated using the following ratings in Table 2. Table 2 provides rating definitions concerning the relevancy of past performance information.

Table 2 Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Definition Very Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

(b). Options: N/A

(c) Past performance information is proprietary source selection information. If there is a problem with the proposed subcontractor's past performance, the prime can be notified of a problem, but no details, may be discussed without the subcontractor's permission.

(i) Multi-functional firms shall submit a proposal with references only for work done by the segment of the firm submitting the proposal (division, group, unit), not the firm in general.

(ii) For the purpose of evaluation of past performance information, offerors shall be defined as business arrangements and relationships such as joint ventures, teaming partners, and major subcontractors. Each firm in the business arrangement will be evaluated on its performance under existing and prior contracts for similar products or services.

(iii) In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available; the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

(iv) The contractor shall provide the consent of the team members before the Government can disclose the past performance information to the prime during discussions. The consent must be provided as part of the prime's proposal. The Government will only discuss past performance information directly with the prospective prime or sub-contractor that is being reviewed.

(d) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(e) The proposal evaluation and discussion procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15.305 do not apply to this requirement. The Government will not establish a competitive range; nor conduct "discussions" with all responders within a competitive range, or request final proposal revisions ("best and final offers") from offerors.

After proposals are received, offerors may be contacted to request additional oral or written information from one or more offerors, but not necessarily from all offerors for clarification purposes only. The Government may require clarifications from only the highest rated offeror(s), and/or may make inquiries with only the highest rated offeror as necessary to finalize information/price/cost prior to making an award. The Government will employ a Best Value Trade-Off evaluation method for this requirement.

52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAY 2014)

An offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the offeror has completed the annual representations and certifications electronically via http://www.acquisition.gov. If an offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically at the System for Award Management (SAM) website, the offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (o) of this provision.

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