CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JUN 2016)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public Web sites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.

(End of provision)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award one (1) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered: The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes that are considered compliant to the RFQ:

A. Technical Worksheet (RFQ Attachment 4) - (Acceptable/Unacceptable) B. Price Quote/Schedule of Rates (RFQ Attachment 2) (Fair and Reasonable/Not Fair and Reasonable)

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of a Quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful

Quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the Quote, shall result in an offer that may be accepted in writing by the successful Quoter. Before the Quote's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a Quote (or part of a Quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(c) Basis for contract award - This acquisition is being conducted under FAR Part 13, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, Subpart 13.5 and Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). Quotes will be evaluated using the factors identified in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial items and this addendum. Noncompliance may be grounds to eliminate the Quote from consideration for contract award. Award will be made on the basis of Lowest Evaluated Price of the quote whose technical factor is rated “Acceptable”.

Specifically, by submitting a Quote the Quoter understands and accedes to all the terms and conditions of this solicitation. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows: The Government will review each Quote received for compliance in accordance with (IAW) the instructions above. To be considered compliant, each Quote shall include the required Contract Documentation, Technical Worksheet and Price Quote. Only those Quotes that are considered compliant shall be evaluated. Quotes received that are considered incomplete or non-compliant may be considered ineligible for award.

Next, the Technical Worksheet of the Quote with the lowest price will be evaluated first. The quote will be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Technical Worksheet must meet the Government's minimum requirements. Quotes deemed Unacceptable are those Technical Worksheets that fail to meet the Government's minimum requirements. If the Quote with the lowest proposed price is deemed Unacceptable, then the next lowest priced Quote will then be evaluated.

Finally, the lowest priced Quoter whose Technical Worksheet received an Acceptable rating will then have their rates reviewed to determine fair and reasonableness using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 13.106-3. If the Lowest Priced Quote is deemed to have fair and reasonable prices, the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the evaluation process stops at this point as that Quote represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that Quoter without further consideration of any other Quotes.

If the lowest priced Quoter cannot be determined fair and reasonable or if the lowest priced Quoter is found to be non-responsible, the next lowest priced Quoter will be evaluated. This process will continue until a Quote is evaluated to have an Acceptable Technical Worksheet, fair and reasonable prices, and the Quoter is deemed responsible or until all Quotes have been evaluated.

(d) The Government reserves the right to award no contract at all depending on the quality of the Quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate Quotes and award a Single IDIQ Contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Quoters will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential.

The Contracting Officer at any time may inquire about any Quote if additional information or a revised quote is required. The Contracting Officer may inquire about all, none, or as many Quotes as needed, however, the Contracting Officer shall treat all Quoters fairly and impartially, in accordance with FAR 1.102-2(c)(3).

1. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

A. Factor I: Technical Worksheet. Each Quoter’s Technical Worksheet will be evaluated as Acceptable or Unacceptable, as defined below. A Quoter will be considered ineligible for award if the Technical Worksheet is not complete.

RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Technical Worksheet clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Technical Worksheet does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

B. Factor II: Price

(1) Completion of the pricing schedule will require the user to have good working knowledge of the

Microsoft Excel program. The Quoter shall complete and submit the Schedule of Rates Sheet. The price quote shall be submitted as an attachment to an email and contain no hidden formulas or external links. The Government will utilize the Excel (.xlsx) spreadsheet to capture pricing and to calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for evaluation and award purposes. Failure to input a unit price in any highlighted cell shall be construed as the Quoter’s intention to propose a price of zero (0). However, Quoters may be considered ineligible for award if all required pricing is not complete.

(2) In order to be considered for award, price must be determined fair and reasonable using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 13.106-3.

52.212-3 OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)

The Offeror shall complete only paragraph (b) of this provision if the Offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically in the System for Award Management (SAM) accessed through https://www.sam.gov. If the Offeror has not completed the annual representations and certifications electronically, the Offeror shall complete only paragraphs (c) through (u)) of this provision.

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision --

“Economically disadvantaged women-owned small business (EDWOSB) Concern” means a small business concern that is at least 51 percent directly and unconditionally owned by, and the management and daily business operations of which are controlled by, one or more women who are citizens of the United States and who are economically disadvantaged in accordance with 13 CFR part 127. It automatically qualifies as a women-owned small business eligible under the WOSB Program.

"Forced or indentured child labor" means all work or service-
