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 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.

(i) For invoices that are mailed the date a proper invoice is actually received by the designated billing office and annotates the invoice with date of receipt at the time of receipt.

(iii) The seventh day after the date on which the property is actually delivered or performance of the services is actually completed; unless—

a) The agency has actually accepted the property or services before the seventh day in which case the acceptance date shall substitute for the seventh day after the delivery date;

or

b) A longer acceptance period is specified in the contract, in which case the date of actual acceptance or the date on which such longer acceptance period ends shall substitute for the seventh day after the delivery date;

(2) On the date placed on the invoice by the Contractor, when the agency fails to annotate the invoice with date of receipt of the invoice at the time of receipt (such invoice must be a proper invoice);

or

(3) On the date of delivery, when the contract specifies that the delivery ticket may serve as an invoice.

(4) Web based submission by the Contractor and receipt confirmation does not reflect Government review or acceptance of the invoice.

(5) For inquiries and payment status please visit: https://fincen.uscg.mil/secure/payment.htm

(5) Blocks 19-24: Schedule of Supplies/Services

This solicitation is issued in accordance with FAR Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, and FAR Part 15,Contracting by Negotiation, for the deck preservation and deck covering renewals.

CONTRACT TYPE:

This solicitation will result in the award of multiple Firm Fixed Price IDIQ MATOC Contracts, at least 3 but no more than 6, consisting of a base year with four one-year option periods. Task awards will be competed and awarded for actual work to be performed.

MINIMUM GUARANTEE:

The minimum guarantee for each IDIQ contract(s) awarded against this solicitation is $10,000.00. The minimum guarantee is considered fulfilled once a Task Order, or combination of Task Orders, is awarded to a contractor in excess of $10,000.00. If a contractor does not receive a Task Order, or combination of Task Orders, in excess of $10,000.00 during the life of the contract (base period plus option periods) the contractor will be paid the $10,000.00 minimum guarantee at the end of the contract period (base plus option years).

FAIR OPPORTUNITY CONSIDERATIONS ON THE TASK ORDER LEVEL:

1. Awardees will be afforded a fair opportunity to compete again at the Task Order level. Awardees competing at the Task Order Level will have an opportunity to specify the contract pricing in place for that Option Year as applicable for the proposed Task Order or decrease applicable work item pricing. No increase in work item pricing will be permissible. Applicable contract pricing will be determined based on the date of the Task Order award, not the Task Order Period of Performance. For instance, a Task Order awarded in Option Year 1 with a Period of Performance in Option Year 2 will be priced in accordance with Option Year 1 rates.

Awardees will receive an email notification detailing a new Task Order requirement. The email will identify the following:

a) Coast Guard Cutter and Vessel Homeport;

b) Work Items expected to be awarded;

c) Task Order period of performance;

d) Any other miscellaneous information relevant to the applicable Task Order; and

e) Response date.

Upon receipt of a new Task Order email, if the contractor is not available during the specified period of performance, please respond with a negative reply such as “No proposal response due to unavailability of contractor services.”

2. In providing awardees a fair opportunity to be considered for each Task Order, the Contracting Officer shall consider the following factors. Price will be the primary determining factor for Task Order Award.

a) Price

b) Ability to comply with the Period of Performance

c) Past Performance on earlier Task Orders

Contractors competing for award of Task Orders may reduce prices by quoting lower prices than proposed and awarded under their Contract.

3. EXCEPTIONS

Awardees need not be given an opportunity to be considered for a particular Task Order, if the Contracting Officer determines that:

a) The agency need for such supplies or services is of such urgency that providing such opportunity would result in unacceptable delays.

b) Only one such contractor is capable of providing such supplies and/or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

c) The order should be issued on a sole source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency as a logical follow-on order already issued under this contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.

d) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

Travel & Per Diem: As stated, place of performance for work items covered by this solicitation will be done at the vessel’s homeport. In order to accomplish these work items, travel and per diem will be determined per Task Order for all personnel required to accomplish work items covered by this solicitation. The proposed travel and per diem for each Task Order shall represent total compensation for employees’ transportation, lodgings, meals, and incidentals and shall not exceed on a daily basis the maximum rates as set forth in the Federal Travel Regulations, the Joint Travel Regulation, and in the case of Foreign travel, the Standardized Regulations.
