The following have been modified:

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation. (1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to--GSA Federal Supply Service Specifications Section, Suite 8100, 470 East L'Enfant Plaza, SW, Washington, DC 20407, Telephone (202) 619-8925, Facsimile (202) 619-8978.

The Offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation ``Unique Entity Identifier'' followed by the unique entity identifier that identifies the Offeror's name and address. The Offeror also shall enter its Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) indicator, if applicable. The EFT indicator is a four-character suffix to the unique entity identifier.

If the Offeror does not have a unique entity identifier, it should contact the entity designated at www.sam.gov for unique entity identifier establishment directly to obtain one. The Offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a Government contract when contacting the entity designated at www.sam.gov for establishing the unique entity identifier.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

(b) Offer Submission Instructions. This is a FAR Part 12 and 15 acquisition. The Offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to see information through clarifications or communications with the Offerors. The Government also reserves the right to hold discussions or negotiations if the Contracting Officer finds it necessary to do so. The offer shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. Only one contract award is anticipated resulting from this Request for Proposal (RFP); however, the Government reserves the right to withdraw, modify, or eliminate various aspects of the requirement determined to be too costly or impractical prior to award. By submitting an offer, the Offeror indicates their intent to comply with all requirements of the solicitation and perform all work within the scope of an anticipated contract award. Offers that do not comply with RFP instructions may be rejected without consideration or evaluation. If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received at the office designated for receipt of proposals by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation, the time specified for receipt of proposals will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume. This is a reminder to all offerors to submit the list of contracts/task orders and OCI mitigation plan and other documents as required by the OCI provisions and clauses in this solicitation by the offer due date and time. ALL OFFERORS ARE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT AN OCI MITIGATION PLAN even if the offeror has NEVER performed contracts for DHA.

(1) Questions may be submitted to the POC’s via email no later than April 17, 2020, 2 PM Eastern Standard

Time (EST). Late or follow-up/additional questions will not be accepted or acknowledged after this date and time. Answers to submitted questions will be provided via solicitation amendment and posted to beta.SAM.gov. Answers will not be provided via email. It is the responsibility of the offerors to monitor best.SAM.gov for the list of questions and answers and for any future solicitation amendments.

(2) Points of Contact. Points of Contract (POC) for this RFP are Cherish Driver, cherish.d.driver.ctr@mail.mil and Robert LeBlanc, robert.e.leblanc6.civ@mail.mil. The Offeror to the solicitation is responsible to ensure receipt by the POC.

(3) Electronic Submittal: Offers shall be electronically submitted via email to the Points of Contact identified above. The firewall utilized by the Government contracting office does not authorize or accept zip files.

The email system cannot accept emails with a file size greater than 6 MB. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure electronic submission is received timely by the POCs. This RFP shall not be considered direction to proceed with the subject effort, nor a promise of future direction to proceed. Contractors are solely responsible for this RFP’s submission expense.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

(e) Multiple Offers. Offerors shall submit one offer presenting terms and conditions for commercial items/services satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. In the event an Offeror submits more than one offer, only the last offer submitted prior to the due date and time for offers will be evaluated.

(2) Volume 2, Past Performance Instructions. This volume shall not include information related to the proposed price. The Past Performance Volume page limit is 10 pages. The volume shall include the following information:

(i) References. The Offeror shall submit no more than three (3) past performance references. The past performance references submitted may be those of the Offeror, or a combination of references of the Offeror and the Offeror’s proposed subcontractors and/or teaming partners. At least one of the three (3) references must be from the prime offeror. If the prime offeror cannot submit at least one reference, a detailed explanation must be provided as to why the offeror cannot submit the reference. The work covered by any past performance reference may have been with Federal, State, City agencies and/or commercial customers.

(ii) Past Performance Definitions: Relevant is defined as work similar in size, scope, and complexity of the work described in the Performance Work Statement and which demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to perform the effort proposed. Recent is defined as contracts/task orders where the Offeror performed on a contractual effort within the past three (3) years from release of this solicitation.

(iii) Reference Content: It is the Offeror’s responsibility to provide valid, current and verifiable information. Each submission of Past Performance Information should include the following:

• Project title.

• Description of the project.

• Cage Code under which work was completed.

• Name of Prime/Subcontractor/or teaming partner that performed the work.

• Government Agency or Organization name that contracted for the performance.

• COR’s name, address, and phone number (Person responsible for acceptance and verifying compliance).

• Contracting Officer’s name, address, and phone number.

• Contract Number and, if applicable, Task Order Number.

• Current status, e.g. completed and/or if in progress, work start date and estimate completion dates.

• Dollar value and type of contract.

• PWS paragraphs that the reference applies to.

• Key Personnel, if applicable (highlight those individuals who worked on the relevant project(s) and are also being proposed for this effort).

• A narrative of why you deem the reference relevant to this effort.

For each past performance record submitted, the Offeror should fill out the Past Performance Questionnaire (RFP Attachment 3, titled “Past Performance Questionnaire for Solicitation HT0011- 20-R-0016) from the beginning of the questionnaire and complete through Part 1 only. The Offeror must transmit the questionnaire to their reference (person responsible for acceptance and can verify compliance), for completion by the reference, of Part 2 of the questionnaire. The REFERENCE must then submit each questionnaire via email, directly to the Government POC listed in the Past Performance Questionnaire. A Past Performance Questionnaire submitted directly by the Offeror to the Government POC or reference information provided by or for POCs who work directly for your company, or indirectly (i.e., in a prime or subcontractor relationship), will NOT be considered relevant. All Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) are due to the DHA POC listed on the PPQ Attachment, by the offer due date and closing time, listed in Block 8 of the page 1 of the Solicitation or of the most recent amendment, if amended. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure PPQs are received by the Government.

(iv) Past Performance Information From Other Sources: The Government may also seek and consider past performance information obtained through other sources.

(v) Subcontractor Past Performance Consents Forms are required to be included in the Past Performance Volume. Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor’s or teaming partners consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government in assessing your past performance relevancy, a consent form must be completed by the subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent forms should be submitted by the offering contractor for submission with the past performance volume. These forms should not exceed 1 page per subcontractor/teaming partner. See Attachment 9 – Subcontractor Past Performance Consent Form.

(3) Volume 3, Price Instructions. The Price Volume has no page limit and may contain any information the

Offeror deems relevant to the proposed pricing. The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price contract. The Government will not evaluate any offers that contain Other Direct Costs. There will be no Other Direct Costs (ODCs) CLINs provided on this contract. Therefore, offerors should ensure that the Firm Fixed Price CLIN prices are all inclusive of the offeror’s approach to fulfill the entire Performance Work Statement. The offeror is expected to price all of the work required by the Performance Work Statement under the Firm Fixed Price CLINs. All proposed prices should be extended out two (2) decimal points only. The offeror’s prices shall NOT include any assumptions that change the terms or provisions of this solicitation. The price offer must include a detailed basis of estimate for the offered prices. The offer shall include all supplies and/or materials proposed which shall be included in the Firm Fixed Price CLINs.

The Government reserves the right to not accept deviations, exceptions, or conditional assumptions taken to the requirement of the solicitation. Note that any deviations, exceptions, or conditional assumptions taken to the requirements of the solicitation will make your offer non-awardable. Based on the availability of funds at time of award, the Government reserves the right to decrease the duration of the period of performance for the base period and any other option periods before awarding a contract.

(i) Pricing Sheet. The offer shall include a completed pricing sheet in accordance with RFP Attachment 2, titled – “Pricing Sheet for Solicitation HT0011-20-R-0016” in a Microsoft Excel Format. The offeror shall fill out all tabs (CLIN TOTAL and CLIN BREAKDOWN to include listing all supplies and/or material costs proposed) within the pricing sheet and ensure mathematical computations are correct and proposed prices shown are consistent throughout each tab. Every cell in the CLIN BREAKDOWN Tab shall have an input and be filled out in its entirety; as the Government also uses this sheet to check for subcontracting entities that are similarly situated and for compliance with FAR 52.219-14 – Limitations on Subcontracting. Offerors shall propose on all contract line items. A line item price left blank will be considered non-responsive to the solicitation and the offer may not be considered for award. Offers shall remain valid for a minimum of 180 days from the date of submission.

In its FFP offer, the offeror must take into account the cost of the anticipated supplies and materials required for performance of all PWS tasks. An offeror must anticipate the cost of all supplies, materials and supplementary items/services an offeror will need in performing the entirety of the PWS.

Offerors are reminded that there will be no ODCs reimbursed. There should be no line items for proposed ODCs shown in any part of your offer. Therefore, offerors should ensure the cost of all supplies, materials and supplementary items/services required to perform the PWS tasks are included in the firm fixed prices proposed.

(ii) Supplemental Pricing Information. The offer shall include supplemental pricing information that provides a breakdown of the proposed price for each firm-fixed-price CLIN. This breakdown shall identify all supplies and materials as well as all firm fixed priced services that make up the firm fixed price CLINs. The offer shall demonstrate calculation of the total CLIN price from the item price information. The proposal shall demonstrate calculation of totals for the base period, each option year, and the six-month extension of services option IAW FAR 52.217-8. The overall total proposed contract value should include totals for the base period, the three option years and the six-month extension of services option.

Please use the pricing sheet in the form of an Excel spreadsheet provided with this solicitation.

(iii) Additional Pricing Information. The offeror shall provide a breakout in their pricing volume which shows compliance with FAR Clause 52.219-14, Limitations on Subcontracting. The offeror shall provide evidence that shows for each Base Year and Option Year, at least 50 percent of the cost of contract performance incurred shall be expended by the concern (prime offeror). The offeror shall include in their additional pricing information a breakout of all subcontractor costs. If an offeror does not comply with FAR Clause 52.219-14, the offeror may be found non-responsive to the terms and conditions of the solicitation and may be removed from consideration.

(4) Volume 4 - Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Instructions. The OCI Volume 4 has no page limit.

The OCI Volume 4 should include an OCI Mitigation Plan (even if the offeror has never performed on contracts at DHA or TRICARE Management Activity) and list of contracts/task orders and subcontracts in support of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to include those with former TRICARE Management Activity (TMA), held by the Offeror. See DHA Organizational Conflicts of Interest provisions and clauses in this solicitation for more information on OCI submission and what needs to be included.

(i) Non-Government Advisors. Contract support personnel from Amyx, Inc. will be providing administrative support to the solicitation and contract administration support functions related to this contract effort. Contractor personnel have executed Non-Disclosure Agreements and their contracts include clauses prohibiting Organizational Conflicts of Interest and requiring screening for personal conflicts of interest.

(n) The non-FAR Part 12 discretionary FAR and DFARS provisions included herein are incorporated into this solicitation either by reference or in full text. If incorporated by reference, see provision 52.252-1 for locations where full text can be obtained.

(o) Reference DHA PD 03-03 IMPROPER BUSINESS PRACTICES AND PERSONAL CONFLICTS OF

INTEREST (AUGUST 21, 2014)

1. The Offeror’s attention is directed to FAR, Part 3 and DFARS, Part 203, “Improper Business Practices and Personal Consultant Conflicts of Interest.”

2. 252.203-7005 Representation Relating to Compensation of Former DoD Officials (Nov 2011)

a) Definition. “Covered DoD Official” is defined in the clause at 252.203-7000, Requirements to Compensation of Former DoD Officials.

b) By submission of this offer, the offeror represents, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that all covered DoD officials employed by or otherwise receiving compensation from the offeror, and who are expected to undertake activities on behalf of the offeror for any resulting contract, are presently in compliance with all post-employment restrictions covered by 18 U.S.C. 207, 41 U.S.C. 2101-2107, and 5 CFR parts 2637 and 2641, including Federal Acquisition Regulation 3.104-2.

3. Use of Former DoD/Defense Health Agency (DHA) Employees and Uniformed Service Members in

Proposal Preparation.

The involvement of a former DoD/DHA employee/member in an offeror’s proposal preparation may give rise to an unfair competitive advantage or the appearance thereof, if the former DoD/DHA employee/member acquired non-public, competitively-useful information in his or her former position. Such knowledge could include proprietary information of competitor’s performance on past or current contracts with similar requirements or source selection sensitive information pertaining to this procurement. Consequently, the Offeror must notify the Contracting Officer prior to the involvement in the proposal preparation by a former DoD/DHA employee/ member reasonably expected to have had access to such information. Based on the notification, the Contracting Officer will make a determination whether involvement of the former DoD/DHA employee/member in proposal preparation could create an unfair competitive advantage or appearance thereof.

The Contracting Officer will further determine whether any mitigation measures taken or proposed by the offeror are adequate to alleviate this concern or whether the offeror will be disqualified from the competition.

Failure to comply with these procedures may result in the offeror’s disqualification for award.

(End of provision)

DHA.L.1 – ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (August 3, 2016)

(a) Definitions.

(1) The term organizational conflict of interest (OCI), as used in this provision, carries the meaning set forth in FAR Part 2.

(2) As used in this provision, the term offeror encompasses the offeror itself, its subsidiaries, affiliates (as defined in FAR 2.101), partners, subcontractors, team members, marketing consultants (as defined by FAR Subpart 9.501), and any of its successors or assignees.

(3) Types of OCIs.

(A) Biased Ground Rules – Consists of situations in which an offeror, as part of its performance of a Government contract, helped (or is in a position to help) set the ground rules for another Government acquisition by, for example, writing the statement of work or the specifications, or establishing source-selection criteria. In these “biased ground rules” cases, the primary concern is that the offeror may have (or could), whether intentionally or not, establish ground rules that will give it an advantage in competing for that acquisition.

(B) Impaired Objectivity – Consists of situations where an offeror has an interest (typically financial) that may conflict with the interests of the Government to whom the offeror has (or will have) a contractual obligation, and the offeror’s work under the Government contract could give it the opportunity to benefit its other business interests. If the offeror is providing recommendations, judgment, or advice, and its other business interests could be affected by that recommendation, judgment or advice, the offeror’s objectivity may be impaired. An example is where the offeror will be evaluating its own work or the work of a competitor (or potential competitor), either through an assessment of performance under another contract or an evaluation of proposals.

(C) Unequal Access to Information – Consists of situations in which an offeror has access to nonpublic information (including proprietary information and nonpublic source-selection information) as part of its performance of a Government contract and that information may provide the offeror with an advantage in competing for some future Government contract. In these “unequal access to information” cases, the concern is limited to the risk of the firm gaining an unfair competitive advantage; there is no issue of bias. Note: Incumbency status alone does not confer an offeror with an unfair competitive advantage.

(4) Means of addressing and resolving OCIs include, but are not limited to, the following:

(A) Avoidance – Government action taken in one acquisition that is intended to prevent an OCI from arising in that acquisition or in a future acquisition.

(B) Mitigation – Contractor action taken on an existing contract to reduce the risk (to a level acceptable to the Contracting Officer) that an OCI will arise on that contract or on a future contract.

(C) Neutralization – Government action taken on an existing contract to restrict the contractor from performing, whether as a prime contractor or as a subcontractor, on future related contracts. This method protects the Government’s interests in cases where there is a risk that the contractor’s work on the current contract could be biased or impaired by virtue of its expectation of future work or when the contractor, as a result of performing the existing contract, would have an unfair advantage in competing for award of the future work.

(b) Notice.

(1) The Contracting Officer has determined that the nature of the work to be performed in the contract resulting from this solicitation is such that it may give rise to OCIs for the contractor performing the work (see FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest) – either during the performance of the resulting contract or in performing future Government contracts.

(2) Description of the OCI. The nature of the OCI(s) is as follows: NONE IDENTIFIED AT TIME OF

SOLICITATION.

(3) Limitation of Future Contracting. NONE IDENTIFIED AT TIME OF SOLICITATION

(c) Information regarding presently existing OCIs.

(1) The following contractors participated in preparing the statement of work or other requirements documents or cost and budget estimates or otherwise had access to information that would give them an unfair advantage in competing for the contract resulting from this solicitation:

a) Amyx, Inc.

(2) The offeror shall provide a statement with its offer which describes, in a concise manner, all relevant facts concerning any past (preceding five (5) years), present, or currently planned interests (e.g., other contracts – government or commercial, business interests, organizational arrangements, or otherwise) that may create (or appear to create) an OCI relating to the work described in this solicitation. The offeror’s statement should:

(A) Address whether, in its performance of any current or expired government contract (whether as a prime contractor or subcontractor), the offeror assisted in setting the ground rules for this acquisition or had access to competitively useful information pertinent to this acquisition – such as budget or funding data, the government cost estimate, the acquisition or source selection plan, or the like.

(B) Address whether performing the work described in this solicitation could create conflicts for the offeror any conflicts relating to work it already is performing under any other government contract or could give the offeror an opportunity to benefit any of its other business interests.

(C) Discuss what structures it already has established and/or actions it already has taken to address any OCIs that would otherwise exist if the government awarded it the contract resulting from this solicitation. (See paragraph

(e) below regarding the separate requirement for offerors to submit an OCI mitigation plan.)

(D) Disclose all past (preceding five (5) years) and present contracts and subcontracts in support of the Defense Health Agency (DHA), to include those with the former TRICARE Management Activity, held by the offeror (see definition of respondent in paragraph (a)(2)) using the table below:

(3) Based on the information provided and any other information solicited or obtained by or provided to the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will assess whether a significant OCI exists for the offeror. The Contracting Officer will not award a contract until the Agency has determined that all identified significant OCIs are reasonably addressed or resolved. The Contracting Officer has the sole authority to determine whether a significant OCI exists and to determine whether the OCI has been reasonably addressed or resolved. The Contracting Officer may ultimately determine that an OCI exists which warrants disqualifying an offeror from award of the contract.

(4) If the successful respondent was aware, or should have been aware, of an OCI before award of this contract, and the offeror either misrepresented or failed to fully disclose to the Contracting Officer the facts associated with the OCI, the Government may terminate the resulting contract for default.

(d) Representation. By submission of its offer, the offeror represents, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that it has disclosed all relevant information regarding any OCIs associated with the work to be performed under the contract resulting from this solicitation.

(e) Mitigation Plans.

(1) The offeror shall submit an OCI mitigation plan at time of offer submission that explains the actions it intends to take or techniques it intends to employ in order to mitigate any OCIs that may arise during performance of the resulting contract or in connection with future government contracts. Mitigation techniques employed by an offeror may include (but are not limited to) establishing information firewalls, providing OCI training to employees, restricting personnel re-assignments, or subcontracting work to non-conflicted vendors. The mitigation plan shall include at a minimum the following:

a. Declaration as to whether the plan is an initial submission with its proposal, or a post-award revision

b. Description/Nature of the conflict or potential conflict

c. Rational for its identification

d. Mitigation Strategy for addressing or resolving the conflict

e. Time frame for resolving

f. Plans for monitoring

(2) If the Contracting Officer has not included a Limitation of Future Contracting clause in the solicitation, the offeror may request inclusion of such a clause in its proposal if it believes a limitation on future contracting is necessary to properly address any potential future OCI.

(3) If an offeror’s proposed action to mitigate an OCI is not acceptable, the Contracting Officer will notify the offeror and explain why its proposed resolution is not considered acceptable and will then allow the offeror a reasonable opportunity to respond before making a final decision regarding the acceptability of the mitigation plan.

The Contracting Officer will not award a contract until the Agency determines that the offeror’s mitigation plan effectively addresses all OCIs. The Government may communicate with an offeror at any time during the evaluation process concerning its OCI mitigation plan.

(4) An offeror’s failure to submit a mitigation plan at the time described in paragraph (e)(1) above will result in the respondent being eliminated from the competition.
