L.5.5.4. Reserved.

L.5.5.5. The Government will only award a contract to an offeror deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 which requires that the prospective contract has necessary accounting controls. In order to aid the contracting officer’s responsibility determination pursuant to FAR 9.104-1 (e), the offeror shall provide evidence indicating that its accounting system is adequate for determining costs applicable to the contract. See FAR 16.301-3 (a)(3). Consequently, to be determined responsible for purposes of award of a contract under this solicitation an offeror’s accounting system must be adequate for determining costs applicable to this contract. Evidence may include DCAA audit reports, or other relevant audit reports. Note that the contracting officer may conduct exchanges with an offeror pertaining to its responsibility. Such exchanges, if any, do not constitute discussions. An offeror may be deemed non-responsible in the event it fails to provide evidence indicating its accounting system is adequate.

This solicitation provides for task orders to be issued as firm fixed price and firm fixed price level-of-effort basis.

Since the services to be obtained pursuant to this solicitation are of significant importance, the Government cannot afford delay in the award of contracts, and intends to evaluate proposals and make an award decision as soon as practical after receipt of proposals. Since the prospective contractors are small businesses, the contracting officer will also comply with applicable provisions of FAR 19.6, Certificates of Competency and Determinations of Responsibility.
