ADDENDUM 1 – Ordering Guide 395
Attachment 1, Scope and Ordering Guide provides the rules of engagement for issuance of task orders that 396 supplement any ordering clauses and provides contract-wide terms and conditions that will be applicable across all 397 task orders. 398
ADDENDUM 2 – Administration of Incentive Profit (LOT 1) 400
Line items 0X05 and 0X06 identify profit pools payable in accordance with this addendum. During “Design-To-401
Outcome” task orders, the contractor shall propose metrics, standards, and profit levels that align to the outcomes 402 specified by the Government when the “Design-To-Outcome” task order is issued. These specifications, once agreed 403 upon during negotiations, will be incorporated in the QASP for the “Core Task Order” linked to the “Design-To-404
Outcome” task order. 405
When the “Core Task Order” is issued, the Government will obligate funding on the appropriate Incentive Profit line 407 item. The Contractor shall not submit invoices against this line item until given express, written permission from the 408
Contracting Officer, which will specify the quantity of Incentive Profit units the Contractor has earned under the 409 task order QASP and metrics terms. 410
At the beginning of the sixth and end of the eleventh months of the “Core Task Order” the Contractor shall provide 412 the results calculated against the metrics and the agreed upon supporting materials. The Government will evaluate 413 the materials submitted and independently verify the results. If the Government cannot verify the results, the 414
Contracting Officer will initiate bilateral discussions in an attempt to resolve any differences. If the Contractor 415 cannot adequately substantiate its calculations, the Contracting Officer will issue a final decision as to the quantity 416 of Incentive Profit units earned. 417
Once this determination is made, the Contracting Officer will unilaterally modify the task order to reflect the earned 419
Incentive Profit unit quantity, and de-obligate any surplus funds, as necessary. Once this modification is executed, 420 the Contracting Officer will provide written permission for the Contractor to invoice this line item, and the 421
Government will accept a properly submitted invoice for payment of the Incentive Profit in accordance with the 422 invoicing and payment terms of the contract. 423
ADDENDUM 3 – Award Fee Plan (LOT 1 and LOT 2) 425
This contract includes the potential for award fee, identified in the schedule as “Gamechanger” line items. This 426
Addendum serves as the agreed upon “Award Fee Plan” in accordance with FAR 16.401(e)(3) and DFARS 427
216.401(e). 428
The award fee is one tool for assessing and incentivizing the quality of the contractor’s performance. Other 430 performance incentives include the “Incentive Profit” payments, base profit in the firm-fixed-price line items, and 431 positive contributions to the contractor’s past performance record. 432
As a component of the Government’s overall performance incentive plan, the “Gamechanger” component is 434 intended to incentivize and reward specific instances of behavior or culture that directly result in an outsized positive 435 impact in terms of quality or value to the WF3 efforts. These specific instances must be of substantially higher 436 quality or value than the ordinary metrics and the resulting impact to the Government will be substantially higher 437 than the award received. As a result, “Gamechanger” awards are intended to be extraordinarily difficult to achieve, 438 even beyond the standard definition of “Outstanding” performance, and are likely to be rare. 439
Whereas the “Incentive” and base profit are intended to constantly push forward the Government’s “high water 441 mark” in its pursuit of being a “world-class” technology organization, the “Gamechanger” is meant to reward 442 instances where the contractor directly causes a portion of the organization or product line to be “world-class,” in 443 fact. 444
This plan describes the Government’s criteria and process to assess the contractor’s performance and determine the 446 amount of award fee earned. The award fee determinations and the methodology for determining the award fee are 447 unilateral decisions made solely at the discretion of the Government and subject to availability of funds. 448

1 ORGANIZATION 468
The award fee organization consists of the Government Determination Official (DO), the Contracting Officer (KO), 469
Award Nominators (AN) and the Performance Monitors (PrfM). The DO will be the Program Executive Officer, 470
Defense Healthcare Management Systems. ANs will include select senior directors, Program Managers, and Deputy 471
Program Managers at the GS-15/O-6 level. PrfMs include all civilian and military personnel supporting PEO DHMS 472 and its partner organizations. 473
2 RESPONSIBILITIES 475
a) Determining Official. The DO reviews the recommendation(s) of the Award Nominators, considers all pertinent 476 data, and determines the earned award for each nomination. The DO may make unilateral changes to this plan 477 that will be executed as a modification to the contract/task order or issuance of a new task order. 478
b) Award Nominators. ANs review the PrfM’s evaluations of the contractor's performance, consider all pertinent 479 data, and document the award fee nomination to the DO. Along with preparing the nominations, the ANs ensure that 480 funding is available and documented in a purchase request to support the potential award of the recommended 481 nomination. 482
c) Contracting Officer. The KO is the liaison between contractor and Government personnel and controls any 483 changes that are approved by the DO to the Plan. Also, the KO modifies task orders to appropriately reflect the 484 decisions of the DO. 485
d) Performance Monitors. PrfMs perform continuous surveillance of the contractor's performance in their assigned 486 evaluation area(s) so that a fair and accurate evaluation is obtained. When an instance of performance or outcome 487 that meets the “Gamechanger” threshold is identified, the PrfMs document the circumstances, achievement, and 488 impact of the performance or outcome and submit to the ANs for evaluation. PrfMs support ANs in the development 489 of supporting materials for nominations. 490
3 AWARD PROCESSES 492
a) Structure. Proposals and resulting task orders to include award fee line items will establish the specifics of the 493 pool of award fee available, as well as specific interim evaluation timelines. Formal interim evaluation periods are 494 conducted in accordance with FAR/DFARS. Performance monitoring, nominations, and awards will occur on a 495 continuous, on-going basis notwithstanding the interim evaluation timing. As a result, the overall evaluation period 496 will be the entire period of performance for the task order. The number and timing of interim evaluations will be 497 dependent on the length of the task order. During the interim evaluation, the Government will provide the number 498 and status of any unawarded nominations, and a brief rationale supporting any rejected nominations. This rationale 499 is intended ONLY to assist the contractor in understanding what level of achievement is required to attain a 500
“Gamechanger.” More than one award may be made during any period. When the DO approves an award, the KO 501 will unilaterally modify the task order to include the appropriate line item and funding, and the Government will 502 accept a properly submitted invoice for payment in accordance with the invoicing and payment terms of the 503 contract. 504
b) Evaluation Standards. The earned award will be based on the contractor’s performance rating documented in a 505 nomination. Separately, achievement of any “Acceptable” or higher ratings will be reported in the contractor’s 506 periodic CPARS assessments, related to the associated category. 507
1. Quality of Product or Service 509
Assesses the contractor’s contribution to the culture, processes, or talent achieving a “world-class” outcome relative 510 to the status quo. 511
2. Cost Improvement 513
(These will not be imputed to CPARS, due to the contract being firm-fixed-price) Assesses the contractor’s 514 contribution to increasing value and efficiency in DHMS operations. 515
3. Business Relations 517
Assesses the contractor’s contributions to establishing a truly seamless/badge-less operations. 518

ADDENDUM 4 – Organizational Conflict of Interest 528
LOT 1 530
Activities under this contract are expected to include “systems engineering and technical assistance,” and this work 531 will give rise to significant biased ground rules, impaired objectivity, and unequal access to information 532
Organizational Conflicts of Interest. Contractors are directed to FAR 9.5 for information pertaining to 533
Organizational Conflicts of Interest. The Contractor shall be ineligible to perform , whether as a contractor, 534 subcontractor, or team member, under any Prime Mission Product Support contract that is in any way related to 535 support provided under this contract, i.e., products managed by a PEO DHMS partner or subordinate organization. 536
a. Definitions. Unless otherwise specified in this clause, the terms used in this clause are defined in the 538
FAR/DFARS, as applicable. 539
Prime Mission Product Support – Includes, but is not limited to, provisioning of off-the-shelf or developmental 541 software or hardware, or support services resulting in any direct financial interest in the development, delivery, 542 implementation, sustainment, or support for a component of, integrated product, system, or system of systems 543 utilized by clinical, business, or management end users in a healthcare or operational medicine environment by one 544 of PEO DHMS’ partner organizations, including but not limited to the Department of Defense, the Department of 545
Veterans Affairs, or the Department of Homeland Security. This includes programs and systems of record that are 546 referred to by DoD policy as “major systems” or “Defense Business Systems”. 547
Contractor – For the purposes of this clause, the term “contractor” means the contractor, its subsidiaries and 549 affiliates, subcontractors, vendors, consultants, joint ventures, contractor teaming arrangements, involving the 550 contractor, and any entity with which the contractor may hereafter merge or affiliate and any other successor or 551 assignee of the contractor. 552
b. Warranty Against Conflicts of Interest. The contractor warrants that it will not perform Prime Mission Product 554 work and has not obtained access to another contractor’s proprietary information relating to the solicitation HT0038-555
21-R-0001. For any breach of this warranty, the Government shall have the right to rescind this contract without 556 liability or, at its discretion, terminate this contract for default. In such circumstances, the contractor shall not be 557 entitled to reimbursement of any cost incurred in performing this contract or payment of any fee thereunder. Further, 558 any such costs shall not be allocable or chargeable, directly or indirectly, to any other contract with the Government. 559
c. Non-Disclosure. Because of anticipated requirements for access to other contractors’ proprietary information, the 561 contractor (including all entities in the definition above) shall execute a corporate non-disclosure agreement with the 562
Government to provide the same level of protection to the information that would be provided by Government 563 employees. The agreements shall require the contractors to train their employees on how to properly handle the 564 information to which they will have access, and to have their employees sign company non-disclosure agreements 565 certifying that they understand the sensitive nature of the information and that unauthorized use of the information 566 could expose their company to significant liability. Copies of such employee non-disclosure agreements shall be 567 provided to the Government. Prior to releasing the information, the Government will determine whether a bona fide 568 need exists for individual employees to access this information. Access will be limited strictly to “need to know” 569 and employees must be trained by the contractor further disclosure to other employees or Government employees is 570 a violation of their company non-disclosure agreements. 571
d. Associate Agreements. If a contractor conditions access to their proprietary information, all entities may be 573 required to execute non-disclosure, non-compete, or business associate agreements directly with other contractors 574 prior to obtaining access to proprietary information, as required. 575
e. Notification/Mitigation. If the Contractor identifies an actual or potential Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) 577 that has not already been adequately disclosed and resolved (or…
