This disclosure shall include a description of the OCI and the action(s) the Contractor has taken or proposes to take in order to resolve the conflict. The Contractor may also identify actions the Government may take to address or resolve the OCI.

(b) If an OCI mitigation plan is involved in the resolution of the OCI and the contract does not already include the clause at DHA.H.2 entitled “Mitigation of Organizational Conflicts of Interest,” then clause DHA.H.2 shall be incorporated into the contract. This reporting requirement also includes subcontractors’ actual or potential organizational conflicts of interest not adequately disclosed and resolved prior to award.

(c) Breach. Any breach of the imposed restrictions or any nondisclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required regarding organizational conflicts of interests to be disclosed may result in termination of this contract for default or other remedies as may be available under law or regulation.

(d) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (d), in all subcontracts. The terms “Contractor” and “Contracting Officer” shall be appropriately modified to reflect the change in parties and to preserve the Government’s rights.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUN 2020)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation. 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.

(4) Nongovernment (voluntary) standards must be obtained from the organization responsible for their preparation, publication, or maintenance.

(j) Unique entity identifier. (Applies to all offers that exceed the micro-purchase threshold, and offers at or below the micro-purchase threshold if the solicitation requires the Contractor to be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).) 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 FAR 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.

(k) Reserved.

For each past performance record submitted, the Offeror should fill out the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment #8, titled “Past Performance Questionnaire for Solicitation HT0011-20-R-0020) 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 (PPQ) are due to the DHA POC listed on the PPQ Attachment, by the offer due date and close time, listed in block 8 of 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 additional past performance information obtained through other sources and utilize that information in determining the Performance Confidence Assessment Rating. These sources include, but are not limited to: Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System ( eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

(6) 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 only be cost priced travel on this contract. Travel CLINS proposed must use the Plug-In Value of $34,080.00 for the Base Period and 4 Option Periods. The Plug-In Value of $17,040.00 must be used for the 6 month 52.217-8 period. There will be no Other Direct Costs (ODCs) CLIN 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.

The offeror’s prices shall NOT include any assumptions that change the terms or provisions of this solicitation. The priced offer must include a detailed basis of estimate for the offered prices. The offer shall map labor categories offered to the labor categories of the proposed Key Personnel section of the PWS. The Government reserves the right to not accept deviations, exceptions, or conditional assumptions taken to the requirements of the solicitation.

Note that any deviations, exceptions, or conditional assumptions taken to the requirements of the solicitation will make your offer unacceptable.

(i) Pricing Sheet. The offer shall include a completed pricing sheet in accordance with – “Pricing Sheet” in a Microsoft Excel format. The offeror shall fill out all tabs (CLINS TOTAL, CLIN BREAKDOWN, FULLY BURDENED RATE COMPUTATION) 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 clause 52.219-14. Offerors shall offer a fully loaded labor rate for each labor category being offered. Offerors shall propose on all contract line items. A line item price left blank will be considered nonresponsive to this request and the offer may not be considered for award. Offers shall remain valid for a minimum of 180 days from the date of submission. The FULLY BURDENED RATE COMPUTATION tab format will be up to each individual offeror. Each offeror is required to show the buildup to each Fully Burdened labor rate of each Labor Category mapped under each CLIN. Each Labor Category row shown should provide the following in the subsequent columns direct labor wage rate, applied G&A rate, applied fringe rate, and any applied overhead or indirect rates. All formulas must be shown (unlocked and editable) and the Government must be able to see how the proposed Fully Burdened Labor Rate for each Labor Category was realized through application of the various indirect rates.

Note 1: Offerors are reminded to ensure proposed employee compensation is commensurate with experience. The Agency’s prior experience with transitioning services from an incumbent contractor to a new contractor indicates the potential for performance problems when the new contractor seeks to hire incumbent employees at compensation levels lower than the incumbent contract. For examples, problems encountered include the inability of the new contractor to hire the anticipated number of incumbent employees with necessary skill set and experience at the proposed compensation levels; high attrition/turnover of incumbent employees hired by the new contractor; and actual costs higher than estimated costs due to the new contractor’s need to increase salaries to retain personnel to adequately perform PWS tasks.

Note 2: Offerors are reminded that there will be no ODCs reimbursed. Therefore, there should be no line items for proposed ODCs shown in any part of your offeror. The Agency’s prior experience is that when offerors submit proposals offeror’s will not discount labor rates as much as they would have if an ODC line item had been a direct cost reimbursable.

(ii) Estimated Level of Effort. The Government estimates that this order will require an approximate level of effort, as outlined under Attachment 2 in the PWS, to accomplish all the tasks identified in the PWS. Please note that the Government estimate is only put in place for Offerors to ascertain the approximate or estimated level of effort for this requirement. However, this is not to be construed as either mandatory or necessarily the best technical approach.

It is only in place as a reference to allow offerors to better understand the general scope of this effort from the Government’s perspective. The Government is seeking the best level of effort and labor mix your company has determined is right to accomplish the mission contained in this PWS. You are not bound to offer these labor categories or quantities, rather you are expected to provide your best solution citing the labor mix and quantity required to accomplish the tasks. All labor categories in the Government’s Attachment 2 must be cross-mapped to the offeror’s labor categories (if names of categories are different). You are strongly encouraged and expected to submit a level of effort consistent with all of the price and non-price aspects of your approach.

(7) 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 – OCI Contract List Template) which disclose all past (preceding five (5) years) and present contracts/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. or another support contractor (unknown at this time) will be providing administrative support to the solicitation and contract administration support functions related to this contract effort. Contractor personnel (current and future) have/will have executed Non-Disclosure Agreements and their contracts include clauses prohibiting Organizational Conflicts of Interest and requiring screening for personal conflicts of interest.

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.
