SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

The following have been modified:

CONTENTS

H1. Ordering Procedures H2. Ramp-On/Ramp-Off H3. Commercial Items H4. Level of Effort

H1. Ordering Procedures

DHA Contracting Officers are authorized to issue orders hereunder. Other Contracting Officers may issue orders with the advanced written approval of the DHA Contracting Office.

(a) All multiple award Contractors shall be provided fair opportunity to be considered for each order, within their Market Segment(s) stated within their IDIQ contract scope, pursuant to the procedures established in this clause unless the Task Order Contracting Officer (TOCO) determines that an exception to fair opportunity (ETFO) exists or determines that a small business set aside or direct award TO is appropriate.

a. If the TOCO determines that an ETFO exists, the number of contractors may be limited to one or more eligible contractors to submit proposals. The TOCO will determine whether an ETFO exists based on the requirements in law and regulation.

b. The TOCO may reserve TOs when the conditions at FAR 19.502-2 exist and shall make the determination whether the TO should be reserved for a small business socioeconomic program or issued directly to a small business concern. All small businesses shall self-certify their small business status at the task order level.

c. The TOCO will make a determination which Market Segment a task order requirement is to be solicited within. If the TOCO makes the determination that a task order requirement falls within more than one Market Segment, then the TOCO will make a determination which Market Segment is a best fit to solicit, understanding that the TOCO may perform IDIQ wide market research (e.g., Request for Information), before posting the RFP within a specific Market Segment. The TOCO may also broadcast visibility of the RFP IDIQ wide but will restrict proposals against the Task Order Request for Proposal (TORP) to a specific Market Segment. An alternative available to the TOCO is to solicit in more than one relevant Market Segment at the same time, such that, IDIQ holders within any of the relevant Market Segments may submit an offer.

d. A multiple award Contractor might not have all of the competencies to offer on a task order requirement within its Market Segment(s) where the task order requirement spans more than one Market Segment. In such case, the IDIQ holder is not restricted to only those subcontractors mentioned in its IDIQ RFP proposal.

Proposed subcontractors can include prime contractor holders in other Market Segments or even subcontractors with no previous Omnibus exposure. Any new subcontractors will receive concurrent default approval upon receipt of a task order award. Any subcontractors added after task order award would require approval by the TOCO, should the TOCO make that a requirement. It is assumed that relationships with subcontractors do not violate any exclusivity between parties. The Government does not have any exclusivity requirements unless so stated by the TOCO.

(b) Regardless of the procedures used, all proposals shall be submitted by the time specified in the TORP. All multiple award Contractors may only propose, in the prime position, on a TORP that falls within the Market Segment(s) included in the Contractor’s IDIQ contract scope. This does not restrict a prime contractor from participating as a subcontractor at the task order level within that Market Segment. The Government reserves the right to award orders without interchanges with Offerors. For actions awarded under FAR 16.505(b)(1)(iv), unsuccessful Offerors will be notified in accordance with FAR 15.503(b). For actions below the threshold specified in FAR 16.505(b)(1)(iv) notification and post award debriefings will be at the discretion of the

TOCO.

(c) In accordance with FAR 16.505(a)(10), a protest is not authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an individual TO under $25 million, except for a protest on the grounds that the order increases the scope, period, or maximum value of the contract under which the order is issued.

(d) Each TORP will identify a TO Ombudsman. The TO Ombudsman is responsible for reviewing complaints from multiple award Contractors and ensuring that all of the Contractors are afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for TOs consistent with the procedures in the contract. However, it is not within the designated TO ombudsman’s authority to prevent the issuance of an order or disturb an existing order.

(e) In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1)(iv) for actions valued at the amount specified (currently $6 million) the Government will provide a post award debriefing if requested.

The manner of the debriefing will be at the discretion of the TOCO.

(f) This clause does not guarantee the Contractor issuance of any TO above the minimum guarantee stated in this contract.

(g) Orders will be awarded using one of the following procedures:

(A) Competitive – Standard Proposal

a. The Government issues all or a limited number of Contractors either a SOW describing specific work and data items required, anticipated performance period, critical milestones; a PWS that describes performance objectives and measurable performance standards; or, a SOO that describes the overall TO performance requirement.

b. The Contractors shall provide the TOCO an original and copies (as specified) of a complete, detailed proposal. The proposal shall address:

i. The comprehensive technical and management approach to accomplish the effort (to include a SOW or PWS if a SOO is issued with the TORP);

ii. If applicable, detailed cost or pricing data in accordance with the instructions set for in the TORP and FAR 15.403-5 (reference FAR 15.408, Table 15-2);

iii. Proposed schedule for completing the TO effort; and

iv. Any other requested and/or pertinent information.

c. The evaluation factors for each TO will be described in the solicitation for each order.

d. Upon proposal receipt, the Government will evaluate all proposals, engage in interchanges if determined necessary by the TOCO, and make an award to the Offeror proposing the best overall value to the Government. The final proposal for the awardee will be incorporated into the contract by reference.

(B) Competitive – Streamlined Proposal

a. The Government issues all or a limited number of Contractors a Statement of

Objectives (SOO) that describes the overall TO performance requirement; a Statement of Work (SOW) developed by the Government describing the specific work and data items required, anticipated performance period, and critical milestones; or a Performance Work Statement (PWS) that describes performance objectives and measurable performance standards.

b. Top-Level Work Plan – Based on the SOO, SOW or PWS, the Contractors shall provide Top-level Work Plans that shall include the following information:

i. Executive Summary Work Plan. Maximum 5 pages, outlining the Offeror’s concept of approach to satisfy the Government’s technical and performance requirements.

ii. Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Performance Estimate, which includes the Offeror’s total estimated ROM cost of the project with fee rate specified, the estimated period of performance, labor skill mix with the estimate of hours to complete the task and all other cost factors, i.e.

materials, subcontracts, etc.

iii. The Government will evaluate the Top-Level Work Plans and the ROM.

The Government may evaluate the Offeror’s past performance on this contract.

iv. Based on the evaluation, a selected Offeror or Offerors will be requested to submit an original and copies (as specified) of a complete, detailed written proposal. The proposal shall address:

1. The comprehensive technical and management approach to accomplish the effort (to include a SOW or PWS if a SOO is issued with the RFP);

2. If applicable, detailed cost or pricing data in accordance with the

3. Proposed schedule for completing the TO effort;

4. Any other requested and/or pertinent information.

v. Upon proposal receipt, the TOCO and Technical Representatives will evaluate the submission, engage in interchanges/negotiations if necessary and award the TO.

(C) Competitive – Proposal with Presentations

a. The Government issues all or a limited number of Offerors a request to provide a presentation with a corresponding briefing. The format of the presentation and contents of the briefing will be provided with the TORP. The maximum number of slides or other constraints regarding size and scope of the briefing will also be specified in the initial request for presentation. The TORP will specify a due date and time for delivery of the briefing slides and the date and time appointed to the Offeror to present the briefing to the Government evaluation team. Failure to deliver the slides in accordance with the TORP will be considered a late proposal.

b. At the specified date and time the Offeror(s) shall present their briefing to the

Government evaluation team. It is anticipated that this presentation will include back and forth interchanges between the Offeror and the Government evaluation team. The purpose of these interchanges will be to enhance Government understanding of the presentation and to facilitate the Government’s evaluation process. The interchanges shall not be used to materially alter the technical or cost elements of the presentation. It is anticipated that the briefing and presentation will be limited to a single submission and presentation, however, the Government will reserve the right to request revisions to the same. Based upon the evaluation of the briefing and presentations the Government will select an Offeror(s) from which to request a full written proposal. In the interest of streamlining the process it is the Government’s intent to issue the amended TORP not later than 5 business days after the aforementioned presentations. The Government at its discretion may provide feedback to those Offerors not selected to submit a full proposal.

c. The proposal shall address:

i. The comprehensive technical and management approach to accomplish the effort (to include a SOW or PWS if a SOO is issued with the TORP);

ii. If applicable, detailed cost or pricing data in accordance with the

iii. Proposed schedule for completing the TO effort;

iv. Any other requested and/or pertinent information.

d. At a date and time specified in the amended TORP the Offeror will submit the proposal and if requested by the Government, provide a presentation to the Government evaluation team. As with the initial presentation it is anticipated that this presentation will include back and forth interchanges between the Offeror and the Government evaluation team. The purpose of these interchanges will be to enhance Government understanding of the proposal and to facilitate the Government’s evaluation process.

e. Upon proposal receipt and/or presentation, the TOCO and Technical

Representatives will evaluate the submission, conduct negotiations as necessary and award the TO.

h. The TOCO may make deviations to these processes due to unique circumstances as determined appropriate on individual requirements. The TOCO shall utilize FAR 16.505(b) as a guideline if a deviation to the order placement procedures is intended.

H2. Ramp-On

The Government intends to Ramp-On additional contract holders at a period in time determined by the PCO, to ensure a sufficient pre-qualified pool of contract holders. The Ramp-on process would be conducted by releasing a solicitation for full and open competition.

H3. Ramp – Off

The Government reserves the unilateral right to Off-Ramp non-performing Contractors. Off-ramping methods may result from one of the following conditions:

1. Permitting the Contractor’s Omnibus IV Contract term to expire instead of exercising the optional ordering period.

2. Debarment, Suspension, or Ineligibility as defined in FAR Subpart 9.4.

3. Termination as defined in FAR Part 49

4. Failing to meet the contract standards of performance, deliverables, or compliances

5. The Government and contractor agreeing to reduce administrative burden and costs

6. Contractors who have had contractor-induced cost overruns, have any unsatisfactory performance ratings in CPARS for the Omnibus IV contract or task orders, or have not met small business participation commitments within 5% of the overall goals.

H4. Commercial Items

The commercial clauses FAR 52.212-4 and 52.212-5 are included in this solicitation by reference only in Section I. At the time of TO award, these clauses will be included and tailored for each commercial TO.

H4. Level of Effort

The following clause shall be included in all Cost Type Term Form Task Orders.

a. This Contract is a term form of contract within the meaning of FAR 16.306(d)(2). The Contractor shall devote the following level(s) of effort during the below listed time period(s):

CLIN HOURS TIME PERIOD

See Section F, Delivery Information

b. Deviation(s) downward in any of the level(s) indicated above, within 10 percent, will have no effect on any other provision of this Contract, including the fixed fee as part of the consideration.

c. At any time that the Contractor has reason to believe that the deviation permitted by Paragraph b.

above will be exceeded, the Contractor shall so advise the Contracting Officer for the purpose of obtaining his written consent to such deviation, or negotiating the appropriate change(s) to the cost, fixed fee, or contract period.

d. Prior to final payment of any amount of fixed fee due the Contractor hereunder, the Contractor shall provide to the Contracting Officer a certification that he has exerted the level(s) of effort required by Paragraphs a. and b., as from time-to-time amended, or as changed by written approval of the Contracting Officer.

(b) Certification. [Offeror shall check either (1) or (2).]

____ (1) The Offeror certifies that--

(i) It does not engage and has not engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President's or Secretary of State's determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; and

(ii) No entity owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or was a significant factor in the President's or Secretary of State's determination that a foreign country is in violation of its obligations undertaken in any arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. The determinations are described in the most recent unclassified annual report provided to Congress pursuant to section 403 of the Arms Control and Disarmament Act (22 U.S.C. 2593a). The report is available at https://www.state.gov/bureaus-offices/under-secretary-for-arms-control-and-international-security-affairs/bureau-of-arms-control-verification-and-compliance/; or

____ (2) The Offeror is providing separate information with its offer in accordance with paragraph (d)(2) of this provision.

(c) Procedures for reviewing the annual unclassified report (see paragraph (b)(1) of this provision). For clarity, references to the report in this section refer to the entirety of the annual unclassified report, including any separate reports that are incorporated by reference into the annual unclassified report.

(1) Check the table of contents of the annual unclassified report and the country section headings of the reports incorporated by reference to identify the foreign countries listed there. Determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror may have engaged in any activity related to one or more of such foreign countries.

(2) If there may have been such activity, review all findings in the report associated with those foreign countries to determine whether or not each such foreign country was determined to be in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or to be not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. For clarity, in the annual report an explicit certification of non-compliance is equivalent to a determination of violation. However, the following statements in the annual report are not equivalent to a determination of violation:

(i) An inability to certify compliance.

(ii) An inability to conclude compliance.

(iii) A statement about compliance concerns.

(3) If so, determine whether the Offeror or any person owned or controlled by the Offeror has engaged in any activity that contributed to or is a significant factor in the determination in the report that one or more of these foreign countries is in violation of its obligations undertaken in an arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament agreement to which the United States is a party, or is not adhering to its arms control, nonproliferation, or disarmament commitments in which the United States is a participating state. Review the narrative for any such findings reflecting a determination of violation or non-adherence related to those foreign countries in the report, including the finding itself, and to the extent necessary, the conduct giving rise to the compliance or adherence concerns, the analysis of compliance or adherence concerns, and efforts to resolve compliance or adherence concerns.

(4) The Offeror may submit any questions with regard to this report by email to NDAA1290Cert@state.gov. To the extent feasible, the Department of State will respond to such email inquiries within 3 business days.

(d) Do not submit an offer unless--

(1) A certification is provided in paragraph (b)(1) of this provision and submitted with the offer; or

(2) In accordance with paragraph (b)(2) of this provision, the Offeror provides with its offer information that the President of the United States has--

(i) Waived application under U.S.C. 2593e(d) or (e); or
