The following have been modified:
52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES
(SEP 2023)
(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 that submits an offer, other than on a construction or service acquisition, but proposes to furnish an end item that it did not itself manufacture, process, or produce is 500 employees, or 150 employees for information technology value-added resellers under NAICS code 541519, if the acquisition--
(1) Is set aside for small business and has a value above the simplified acquisition threshold;
(2) Uses the HUBZone price evaluation preference regardless of dollar value, unless the offeror waives the price evaluation preference; or
(3) Is an 8(a), HUBZone, service-disabled veteran-owned, economically disadvantaged women-owned, or women-owned small business set-aside or sole-source award regardless of dollar value.
(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 Federal Acquisition Regulation (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 FAR subpart 4.10), or alternative commercial products or commercial services 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 Federal specifications, standards, and product descriptions can be downloaded from the ASSIST website at https://assist.dla.mil.
(ii) If the General Services Administration, Department of Agriculture, or Department of Veterans Affairs issued this solicitation, a copy of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained from the address in paragraph (i)(1)(i) of this provision.
(2) Most unclassified Defense specifications and standards may be downloaded from the ASSIST website at https://assist.dla.mil.

(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.

WORKLOAD DATA, for the Offeror to understand the general scope of the effort and ascertain an estimated level of effort from the Government’s perspective. This is not to be construed as either mandatory, or necessarily, the best technical approach. The Government is seeking the best level of effort and labor mix your company determines optimizes technical and price considerations to successfully accomplish the mission contained in the PWS. If the
Offeror intends to use any labor categories that are consistent in duties with the level of effort labor categories, but are titled differently, Offeror must cross-map those labor categories to the Government’s PWS and Offeror’s technical and price volumes to ensure the proposal receives a proper evaluation.
1) Subfactor 1: TECHNICAL APPROACH – Required submissions:
• Technical Approach Narrative
The Technical Approach Narrative (not to exceed 15 pages) should describe the capability of your organization to satisfy the most important requirements of this solicitation. The proposal should be prepared simply and economically, providing straightforward, concise delineation of capabilities to satisfactorily perform the contract being sought. The proposal shall not merely offer to perform work in accordance with the requirements documents but shall outline the actual approach as specifically as possible. Repeating the requirements without sufficient elaboration is not acceptable. The Government shall not assume that an Offeror possesses any capability unless specified in the proposal.
The Offeror shall describe its technical approach to perform the following five technical requirements, which the
Government has determined to be most important, as delineated in the PWS.
Task 5.1 – Vision Care Coordination
Task 5.1.2.1 Patient Outreach
Task 5.1.2.7 Referrals and Consultations
Task 5.1.3 – National Vision Care Coordination
Task 5.1.4 – Collection of Health Care Data
• Draft Quality Control Plan
The Offeror shall include as an attachment to the non-price proposal, a draft Quality Control Plan (QCP) which shall not exceed five (5) pages. The Contractor shall develop and maintain an effective Quality Control program to ensure services are performed in accordance with the PWS which the draft QCP will document. The QCP provides a basis for the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) to evaluate the quality of the Contractor’s performance and a proactive way to avoid unacceptable or deficient performance, or to ensure non-recurrence of defective services.
At a minimum, the QCP shall include and document the following:
• A self-inspection plan and an outline of the procedures that the Contractor will use to maintain quality, timeliness, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction in each of the survey (i.e., surveille) the program management domains which include data management and analysis and reporting and debriefing.
• Identify and describe the processes, procedures, and metrics for assuring quality in accordance with commercial standards.
• Identify and describe the methods and procedures for the conduct and reporting of periodic and continuous internal audits and inspection necessary to verify compliance with all aspects of the contract.
• Identify and describe Data Quality Validation procedures and processes to ensure data is carefully and rigorously reviewed for accuracy, consistency, and relevance.
2) Subfactor 2: Staffing Approach
• STAFFING PLAN, KEY PERSONNEL RESUMES AND DOD BUSINESS ASSOCIATE
AGREEMENT
The Offeror shall include the Staffing Plan which shall not exceed five (5) pages, resumes of Key Personnel, which do not count against the page totals and a signed DoD Business Associate Agreement, which shall not exceed nine
(9) pages. As stated in (4)(a), the Government provides a workload estimate in the PWS, PART 7, ATTACHMENT
6, ESTIMATED WORKLOAD DATA, for the Offeror to understand the general scope of the effort and/or ascertain an approximate or estimated level of effort from the Government’s perspective. This is not to be construed as either mandatory or necessarily the best staffing approach. The Government is seeking the best level of effort and labor mix your company determines optimizes technical and price considerations to accomplish the mission contained in the PWS.
• The Staffing Plan shall provide sufficient detail to evaluate a reasonable, well-thought-out approach and methodology, work plan, and rationale to provide for the acquisition and maintenance of an appropriate mix and balance of educated/trained essential personnel (i.e., recruitment, training, and retention of qualified, experienced staffing) throughout the contract period, beginning when the government issues an award and leading to successful completion of the requirement.
• The Key Personnel Resumes shall be provided for all individuals proposed to fill Key Personnel positions (reference PWS Section 1.12). These resumes shall include a list of relevant training, education, and certifications applicable to the minimum qualifications for each Key Personnel position outlined in PWS 1.12. For individuals proposed as Key Personnel who are not current employees of your company, the Offeror shall provide a signed letter of intent. Proof of employment may be requested prior to beginning work.
o The Government has identified the following Key Personnel positions and minimum qualifications: :
• National Vision Care Coordinator: Five (5) years of clinical experience as a health care coordinator, social worker, case manager, or registered nurse.
• Regional Vision Care Coordinator: Five (5) years of clinical experience as a health care coordinator, social worker, case manager, or registered nurse.
• The Contractor meets the definition of Business Associate, and DHA meets the definition of a covered entity under the HIPAA Rules and the DoD HIPAA Issuances. Therefore, a Business
Associate Agreement (BAA) between the Contractor and DHA is required to comply with the
HIPAA Rules and the DoD HIPAA Issuances. The Offeror is required to submit a signed DoD
BAA at Attachment 3 as part of the proposal submission. If awarded, the BAA shall become incorporated as part of the contract.
(b) VOLUME 2: PRICE: Unlimited.
1) Price shall be submitted by the Offeror separately as Volume 2 and will be analyzed separately from the non-price factors. Volume 2 must provide the breakdown of prices at a level of detail to conduct meaningful price analysis. Additionally, the price proposal shall identify the location where Staff and
Key Personnel will be performing their duties and indicate which positions are telework or remote positions. All pricing information documentation must be included only in Volume 2. Under no circumstances shall any cost or pricing documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.
2) Complete all the CLINS in the SF1449 Continuation Sheet Schedule, to include all option periods and
FAR 52.217-8 pricing. All priced CLINs shall provide pricing detail on labor rates, hours, and rate buildup.
3) The Offeror shall submit a price narrative (in searchable PDF format) and a pricing spreadsheet (in
Excel format inclusive of formulas). Each offeror’s pricing spreadsheet shall be consistent with the
Government’s Pricing Spreadsheet template at Attachment 4. All proposed prices shall be inclusive of all costs to successfully perform the requirements of this PWS. Labor category and rate information shall be provided as follows:
a) The Government requests all spreadsheets to be provided in Excel format containing formulas that can be manipulated and that have been verified for correct mathematical computations. A zero-dollar figure in the proposal means that the line item shall be provided at no charge to the
Government. The cost/price portion of the proposal should include at a minimum, the following information as applicable:
1. Detailed Breakout - The backup for proposed labor prices should be broken out by appropriate labor category, and CLIN (i.e., CLINs for base year and option periods should be broken out separately).
2. Labor - Provide a spreadsheet including labor categories, labor hours and labor rates by
CLIN, including FAR 52.217-8 Extension of Services. Provide backup in the narrative portion of the price proposal that includes basis of estimates with regards to the labor hours and mix.
All labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest dollar. Provide actual or anticipated place of performance for Staff and Key Personnel positions and/or individuals and indicate which positions are remote or telework, if applicable.
3. Travel Plug Numbers – The Government’s firm fixed price (FFP) travel amount for this requirement is $60,000.00. The FFP travel amounts per CLIN are listed below:
Travel CLINs Firm Fixed Price
0002 $12,000.00
1002 $12,000.00
2002 $12,000.00
3002 $12,000.00
4002 $12,000.00
5002 (Pricing Purposes Only) $6,000.00
4) The negotiated prices will become fixed prices on the contract. In the event the Government extends services under the authority of FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services", unit pricing for the last option period exercised preceding the extension shall remain in effect. These prices are already determined to have been evaluated at the time of contract award.
5) If applicable, the Offeror shall comply with FAR 52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (Deviation
2021-O0008) should the proposal submission meet the criteria of the provision.
