Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

STATEMENT OF WORK

SPECIFICATIONS

C.1.0 Background

C.1.1 The Marine Corps Recruiting Command (MCRC)’s Advertising Program is directed toward the recruitment of personnel to fill vacancies in both enlisted and officer programs. The mission of the

MCRC Advertising Program is to use all the tools of marketing and communications to drive qualified prospects through the decision-making process to becoming a Marine and put the prospect in front of a

Marine recruiter. This program includes the recruiter/sales support materials, also known as promotional and incentive items. Promotional items are issued for advertising purposes while incentive items are issued to encourage or reward actions that assist Marine Corps recruiting.

C.2.0 Scope

C.2.1 The scope of this requirement is to provide branded promotional and incentive items for United

States Marine Corps (USMC) events. The contractor shall provide all materials, equipment, personnel, and facilities necessary to manufacture, produce and deliver the promotional and incentive items. All promotional and incentive items furnished under this contract shall be ordered by issuance of a delivery order. Promotional items change over time, and this contract will allow for items within scope to be added as needed.

C.3.0 Point of Contacts

C.3.1 Contractor Point of Contact: The contractor shall provide a single management point of contact to serve as the primary interface with the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and the Contracting

Office.

C.4.0 Place of Performance

The place of performance will be at the contractor’s facility.

C.5.0 Kick-Off Meeting/Conferences/Meetings

C.5.1 A Kick-off Meeting will be held within fifteen (15) business days after contract award. The purpose of this meeting is to ensure mutual understanding of contract requirements and procedures, and conduct a review of promotional and incentive items design. Discussion at the meeting will focus on project orientation, clarification and transfer of applicable background information, contract requirements, dispute resolution procedures and identification of points of contact from contractor and Government organizations. An overarching goal of the Kick-off Meeting is the establishment of efficient and effective communication mechanisms among the parties, which include but is not limited to e-mail, teleconferencing, video teleconferencing (VTC) and any other technologies available to facilitate timely communication.

C.5.2 Conferences/Meetings

The Government reserves the right to hold additional meetings via teleconference, if changes to style, size, color, etc. should occur, or items are added, as necessary to administer the contract.

C.6.0 Requirement

C.6.1 The Contactor shall furnish all the labor, equipment, facilities and materials, and supplies to manufacture and supply the required items in a timely manner. Each Delivery Order (DO) will identify the exact sizes and quantities required from each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The contractor shall provide the style, size, and quantity of promotional and incentive items listed under each CLIN on each DO.

C.6.2 Promotional and Incentive Items List

All individual specifications and item descriptions are found in the text under each CLIN required.

Pictures of samples of the items are provided as an attachment to the solicitation/contract.

C.7.0 Specifications

C.7.1 All materials and supplies used in the making of both promotional and incentive items shall be of the exact same kind specified under the product details listed under SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR

SERVICES AND PRICES, by each CLIN 0001 - 0019. For all text that is not part of the Marines graphic, the font will be in caps using Interstate Bold. Company names may not be screen printed on the items or compete in any way with the Marines logo. All containers intended to hold water shall not leak.

C.7.2 In the event that MCRC requires specifications changes to any promotional and incentive item, the

Contracting Officer will provide written notification of the changes to the contractor via bilateral modification to the contract. The contractor shall be flexible regarding the specifications for each item to be produced under this contract. At no time shall any material and/or supplies be used which deviates from the original intended design, appearance, or standards required by the Marine Corps without written approval from the Contracting Officer. All work shall be performed in the best and most professional workmanship manner possible.

C.7.3 Allocation of intellectual property Rights (Graphics and other Works). All graphics, designs, artwork, other works, and related items, and all associated, or related, intellectual property, in whatever form, created, generated, or produced under this contract shall become the property of the Marine Corps;

therefore, the Marine Corps shall have the irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide right to use, modify, reproduce, perform, display, release, or disclose such graphics, designs, artwork, other Works and related items in whole or in part, in any manner, and for any purpose whatsoever, and to have or authorize others to do so.

C.7.4 The USMC requires unrestricted use of the subject deliverables that are part of this effort.

Therefore, any restricted or limited graphics, designs, artwork, other Works and related items including, but not limited to, the Contractor’s or a Third-Party’s proprietary graphics, designs, artworks, other

Works and related items must not be used under this contract without the Contracting Officer’s specific written approval prior to the start of any work. The Contracting Officer’s disapproval of any or all such restricted or limited graphics, designs, artwork, or other Works and related items shall not be a basis for an equitable adjustment as to price, time and place of delivery, or any other term in the contract.

C.7.5 Offerors must provide samples for all items as a part of their proposals. One sample of each line item (item no.) 0001 through 0019 shall be provided. See section L.

Upon award, contracted vendor will provide final samples with the correct artwork, graphics, text, etc., as specified in the item descriptions. Samples will be sent to the COR and the Contracting Officer for final approval. Final samples must be received 15 days after the Government provides the graphics. In the case of added items, the contractor is also required to provide final samples 15 days after the Government provides the graphics. If the samples do not meet the requirements of the contract, the contracted vendor has 5 days to correct any issues the Government finds with the final samples. Provision of samples and correction of any issues the Government identifies with the final samples shall be at the contractor’s expense, and the contractor will not be entitled to an equitable adjustment to the contract for the expense or time involved in producing and providing final samples and correcting issues the Government finds with the final samples. The Government’s requirements only include items with all issues identified by the Government corrected, so the Government is not required to order any item unless and until all issues identified by the Government are corrected.

Final samples shall be sent to:

C.9.0 Government Furnished Material (GFM)

C.9.1 The Government will provide any artwork required to be displayed on products after contract award. The requirements of the specification for this contract cannot be waived or relaxed by conduct or course of dealing on this contract or by conduct or course of dealing on any other contract. Even if any or all samples appear to have been purchased through other Government contracts which were not worded identically to this contract or through other contracts on which the Government did not require strict performance, the contractor here is still required to perform all effort under this contract strictly according to the specification and all laws and regulations referred to in the specification. The contractor may not use the quality of performance on this or any other contract or the characteristics of any sample as a reason to perform other than according to specification or to be paid more than the fixed-price stated in this contract or to deliver items other than according to the delivery schedule in this contract. If the contractor has any questions about this section either in general or as it relates to any item to be delivered, it is the contractor’s responsibility to contact the Contracting Officer without delay and ask, in writing, for clarification.

C.9.2 All GFM, or product(s) using these materials must be returned to the Government before the end of the contract period of performance and/or as agreed to in writing with the COR.

C.11.0 Domestic Sourcing Restrictions

Goods to be delivered under this contract are subject to the restrictions of the Buy American Act and the

Berry Amendment. This clause is meant to highlight certain aspects of the Buy Amendment Act and the

Berry Amendment, but the contractor is required to review applicable statutes, FAR 52.225-1, FAR

52.225-2, DFARS 252.225-7012, FAR Part 25, and DFARS Part 225 prior to submitting its proposal and as necessary during contract performance, and to build time, expense, and other resources necessary for compliance into its price and into its commitment to deliver conforming goods in a timely manner as required by this contract. The contractor is solely responsible for ensuring that all delivered goods strictly comply with the statures and the FAR and DFARS provisions on domestic sourcing cited above, regardless of whether the Government inspects for compliance with domestic sourcing restrictions;

regardless of whether the Government reminds the contractor of the requirement to comply or demands such compliance; and regardless of the source of any goods accepted under this contract or any other

Government contract. Compliance with provisions required by the Buy American Act and the Berry

Amendment are required by statute and cannot be waived by conduct or course of dealings.

The contractor will maintain a list of names and addresses of all manufacturers, suppliers, and subcontractors during the life of this contract, and shall be prepared to provide such list and any other information necessary to ensure compliance upon request of the Contracting Officer. Compliance is still the responsibility of the contractor, regardless of whether the Contracting Officer makes such requests or does not make such requests.

The Buy American Act places restrictions on the purchase of supplies that are not domestic end products.

Per DFARS 252.225-7000, the contractor by its offer certifies that all items to be delivered are domestic, unless the contractor lists nondomestic sources; and per FAR 25.501(b), the Contracting Officer may rely on those certifications, both prior to award and during the term of this contract.

The restrictions of the Berry Amendment and the FAR and DFARS provisions cited above apply to goods required to be delivered under this requirement. Per DFARS 225.7000(b), nothing in Part 225.70 affects the applicability of the Buy American Act to goods delivered under the contract, so the contractor is responsible for determining applicability of both statutes to all items. The following chart is meant to assist the contractor in complying with the Berry Amendment.
