NOTICE FOR FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the GAO or some other external forum.

Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or, as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.

Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the Government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d) (2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely, protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR 33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand-delivery to the Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed. The Ombudsman Hotline telephone number is (202) 372-3695.

Part I – The Schedule

Section B – Supplies or Services and Prices / Costs

B-1 General

The United States Coast Guard (USCG) will be centralizing and standardizing nineteen (19) current guard services contracts, which are currently supporting twenty-seven (27) installations throughout the U.S. The centralization and standardization will be achieved via migration of the 19 current contracts into one (1) Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-

Quantity (IDIQ) vehicle with up to two (2) IDIQ contract holders.

The work will be performed at USCG locations within the United States and U.S. territories within the USCG’s area of responsibility (AOR).

The guard services IDIQ will be a centrally managed and centrally executed contract. Only warranted USCG

Headquarters contracting officers will be able to issue task orders against the IDIQ.

B-2 Ordering Period

The term of the guard services IDIQ contract is a one (1) year base period with four (4) one-year option periods, for a total possible period of performance of five (5) years. This is not a multi-year contract as defined in FAR Part 17.103. For more details, see Section F, “Deliveries or Performance”.

B-3 Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) Structure

The five (5) IDIQ master CLINs are listed in the SF 1449. There is one IDIQ master CLIN for the base period and one

IDIQ master CLIN for each option period. All of the work at the task order level will be linked to the period-specific IDIQ master CLIN. For example, IDIQ CLIN # 10001 encompasses all work performed at the task order level during Option

Period # 1, so at the task order level, all Option Period # 1 CLINs are linked to the IDIQ master CLIN # 10001.

All pricing submitted at the IDIQ level will be incorporated into each successful offeror’s IDIQ contract as ceiling pricing.

All pricing on the task orders shall be at or below the IDIQ-ceiling rates.

The individual task order CLINs are listed in the respective task orders identified in RFP Section J, “List of

Attachments”.

B-4 Contract Type

The IDIQ itself and all task orders (TOs) issued underneath the IDIQ will be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP)

B-5 Ceiling of the IDIQ CLINs

The ceiling price of each of the five (5) master CLINs is the total price of all CLINs and sub-CLINs active during their respective periods of performance.

For example, the ceiling price for IDIQ CLIN 00001 is the total price of all base-period CLINs and all related base-period sub-CLINs. The ceiling price for IDIQ CLIN 10001 is the total price of all Option Period # 1 CLINs and all related

Option Period # 1 sub-CLINs.

B-6 Commercial Item Determination

This is a commercial item acquisition in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 12, “Acquisition of

Commercial Items.” The services to be provided under the contract are considered “commercial” as defined by FAR

2.101. The types of services described in Section C are customarily used by non-governmental entities for purposes other than government purposes.

B-7 Ceiling Rates

The labor rates applicable to this contract are ceiling rates. Nothing precludes the contractor from proposing lower rates in response to a given task order solicitation in order to increase the competitiveness of its task order proposal. Were the contractor subsequently selected for task order award, the lower rates would be incorporated into the salient task order.

B-8 Discounts and Cost Reductions

USCG has a goal to acquire guard services and related supplies and services under this IDIQ vehicle at substantially lower prices than would be expected if awarded under the offeror’s commercial pricing or separately priced contracts (such as the General Services Administration’s (GSA’s) Federal Supply Schedules).

Additionally, due to the potential business volume associated with the guard services IDIQ vehicle, USCG will be seeking price discounts at the task order level lower than prices at the IDIQ level.

B-9 Minimum Guarantee and Maximum Contract Amount

The minimum guaranteed amount for this award is one (1) task order per IDIQ contract-holder. Orders beyond the minimum will be determined by Government needs and the results of fair opportunity competitions.

The Government has no obligation to issue task orders to the Contractor beyond the one (1) task order. The task order funding will be obligated at the time of task order award.

The combined maximum cumulative dollar amount that may potentially be awarded to all contractors is $175 million.

The maximum aggregate dollar value of all task orders awarded to all Contractors cannot exceed the contract ceiling. The combined ceiling ($175 million) is not being divided among the number of awardees nor is it being multiplied by the number of awardees.

Section H – Special Contract Requirements

H-1 Authorized Users

This IDIQ vehicle is available for use solely by warranted contracting officers at USCG Headquarters in Washington, D.C.

H-2 Personal Services

None of the requirements for any task order issued hereunder shall comprise a Personal Services Contract as defined by

FAR 2.101 and 37.104 or entail contractor performance of Inherently Governmental Functions as defined by FAR 2.101.

The Government will neither supervise contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks. Under no circumstances shall the government assign tasks to or prepare work schedules for individual contractor employees. It shall be the responsibility of the Contractor to manage their employees and to guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. If the Contractor feels that any actions constitute or are perceived to constitute personal services, it shall be the Contractor’s further responsibility to notify the Task Order Contracting Officer immediately.

H-3 Inherently Governmental Functions

Per FAR Part 7.5 and HSAM Chapter 3002.101, the USCG Contracting Officer has determined that all work contemplated hereunder is properly scoped so that the Contractor will not perform any inherently governmental functions.

The oversight and assessment of contractor performance and contractor compliance with contract requirements, stipulation and management of requirements, program decisions, and acceptance of services delivered by the contractor to the Government are inherently governmental functions and will be performed by government personnel. This oversight and assessment of contractor personnel by Government personnel will ensure contractors are prevented from performing inherently governmental functions.

Further, contractors are advised of the following:

(a) Final determination for all work products, recommendations, and the like is reserved for Government officials;

(b) Contractor personnel who attend meetings, answer Government telephones, or work in situations where their actions could be construed as acts of Government officials shall clearly identify themselves as contractor personnel; and

(c) Suitable marking of all documents or reports produced by contractors is required.

At the task order level, the task order contracting officer will ensure that no inherently governmental functions are assigned to a contractor.

H-4 Disclosure of "FOR OFFICIAL USE ONLY" Information Safeguards

Any Government information made available or to which access is provided and which is marked or should be marked

"For Official Use Only" or “FOUO” shall be used only for the purpose of carrying out the provisions of this contract or any Task Order issued hereunder and shall not be divulged or made known in any manner to any person except as may be necessary in the performance of the contract or Task Order. Disclosure to anyone other than an officer or employees of the Contractor or Subcontractor at any tier shall require prior written approval of the Task Order Contracting Officer.

Requests to make such disclosure should be addressed to the Task Order Contracting Officer.

H-5 Disclosure of Information

(a) Contractors are reminded that information furnished under this solicitation may be subject to disclosure under the

Freedom of Information Act (FOIA). Therefore, all items that are confidential to business, or contain trade secrets, proprietary information, or personnel information must be clearly marked. Marking of items will not necessarily preclude disclosure when the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM or the Government) determines disclosure is warranted by FOIA. However, if such items are not marked, all information contained within the submitted documents will be deemed to be releasable.
