CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT
52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JUN 2016)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--
Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.
Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.
Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).
Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).
Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.
(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.
(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:
(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).
(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.
(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.
(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.
(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.
(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.
(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.
(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.
(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.
(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.
(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.
(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.
(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.
(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.
(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.
(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.
(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
(End of clause)

(End of provision)
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;
https://www.sam.gov/
(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. The suffix is assigned at the discretion of the Offeror to establish additional SAM records for identifying alternative EFT accounts (see subpart 32.11) for the same entity. 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.

(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 five 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.
(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.

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.

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.
