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 or 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.

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Complicated Obstetrical Emergency Simulators Program Clinical Support Division (CSD)

Part 1

General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide equipment and training for obstetric emergencies. The Government shall not exercise any supervision or control over the contractor performing the services herein. Such contractor employee shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide all personnel, equipment, supplies, facilities, transportation, tools, materials, supervision, and other items and non-personal services necessary to perform acquisition of required equipment and performance of training services as defined in this Performance Work Statement except for those items specified as government furnished property and services. The contractor shall perform to the standards in this contract.

1.2 Background: Following the 2014 Secretary of Defense review of safety, access, and quality, the Military Health System (MHS) is undertaking efforts to implement action items resulting from the review and transform itself into a High Reliability Organization (HRO). This represents a massive undertaking, involving changes to systems, to processes, and – most importantly – to the cultures throughout the enterprise. The Defense Health Agency (DHA) is especially challenged in operationalizing the MHS Review directives while immediately providing implementation oversight on behalf of the MHS.

1.2.1. Successful change within an organization is the most critical and difficult part of an enterprise transformation, with research indicating that more than half of all change initiatives fail, largely due to human factors, and complex organizational and system integration. Adding to the general transformation challenges, the MHS confronts unique challenges as it considers how to become an HRO in an environment of significant resource constraint, as well as constructive criticism as articulated in the latest Military Compensation and Benefits Commission Report.

The operational complexities of the system, variation in Service cultures, frequent changes of leadership, lack of standardized and transferrable data, implementation variance, and complex governance are just some of the issues facing the MHS and complicating any transformation. In addition, the MHS undertakes this change initiative at the same time it works through four other concurrent, large-scale transformations: the reform of MHS Governance; the implementation of a new Electronic Health Record (EHR) while relying on data from multiple legacy systems to inform initiatives in improving patient safety and quality; the transformation of the TRICARE Health Contract and the interface between all of our partners in the purchased care network, none of whose information systems interface with our legacy EHR and associated systems; and the establishment of the DHA as a Combat Support Agency, supporting the Services, the Combatant Commands, and the operational forces in medical readiness matters. The Healthcare Operations Directorate of the DHA serves as the hub of integration and synchronization across all of these major initiatives and is critical to the success of the MHS Review action plans, the journey to become an HRO, as well as all of the aforementioned initiatives.

1.2.2. The MHS 90 day action items assigned to the Perinatal Advisory Group (PAG) were five action items including:

Documentation and coding practices, Interval training for Perinatal teams, Perinatal dashboard creation, Investigation of maternal and newborn readmissions; and, Patient Satisfaction.

This Performance Work Statement relates to the scope and work performance for contract staff to identify, create, deliver and analyze Obstetrical Simulation Training throughout the direct care system.

1.2.3. The MHS has the history and basic framework in place to implement the recommended obstetric training program. The program included providing models to each MTF with standardized drills and instructor training. The historic program did not have built in methods for tracking and trending training compliance and outcome metrics linked with the MHS priorities.

Simulation drills for obstetric emergencies are recommended by the Joint Commission, and have been supported by research demonstrating significant improvements in patient outcomes to include lower rates of neonatal injury and more rapid response by the perinatal team when an emergency cesarean section is required.

1.3 Objectives: The objective of the Complicated Obstetrical Emergency Simulators (COES) acquisition is

1. Provide research; purchase and ensure delivery of

a. Full body or hybrid female mannequin simulators with infant (desired pressure force monitoring if available);
