G-2 THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT’S OBLIGATION

In accordance with FAR 252.232-7007, During the period of performance specified in the contract, the Contractor shall accept items listed on the National Stock Number (NSN) List/Pricing Workbook (Attachment 2) for ROR from government personnel authorized to turn in equipment, as long as the total expected ROR price of that item, plus the previous ROR, TD&E or approved O&A price do not exceed the overall value remaining on that Contract/CLIN.

The Contractor shall not accept items for ROR which are (1) not explicitly on contract, (2) that would result in a total

Contract/CLIN value in excess of the remaining funds available on the associated CLIN, or (3) that are initiated outside the period of performance. When the Contractor expects total funding expended for a particular CLIN to reach 85 percent of the total funds available on that CLIN the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and the

COR and any other Government official identified by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor shall not exceed or incur price that exceed the amount of funding stated on each CLIN. Once either the period of performance or order value of a CLIN is reached no further work shall be accepted or billed under that CLIN until additional funds are applied to that CLIN via contract modification. Any remaining CLIN value shall revert back to the Government to be applied to future task orders until the ceiling amount of $450,000,000 is reached (Note: Ceiling amount is $495,000,000 if

Option CLINs 0005 and 0006 are exercised.) The funding will be deobligated via bilateral modification to the contract.

G-3 BILLING INFORMATION: When an invoice is submitted to WAWF the Contractor shall submit, as an attachment in WAWF, a list of all completed ROR, TD&E and approved O&A charges by individual item referencing the “Contractor’s transaction identification number” and the Government’s document number as supporting documentation for the Government.

G-4 NEW AND REPLACEMENT ITEMS: The scope of this contract covers Marine Corps Ground Equipment

Secondary Reparable items. When new items are fielded by the Marine Corps to replace similar items currently included in this contract, those replacement items shall be considered within the scope of this contract. When new

Marine Corps Ground Equipment SECREP items of a type included on this contract other than replacements for items currently included in this contract require ROR, the contracting officer will make a determination as to whether the items are within the original scope of this contract based on their similarity to existing items in type, purpose, estimated ROR price, and complexity. New or replacement items will be added to the contract in accordance with sections 5.8 and 5.9. Identified in the NSN List/Pricing Workbook(Attachment 2) are those NSNs that require OEM as the source of repair; approval must be obtained from the contracting officer prior to using another source. Additional requirements for each line item are listed on the NSN Detail Listing.

G-5 ADDITION OF ITEMS TO THE CONTRACT: When an item not currently listed in the NSN List/Pricing

Workbook (Attachment 2) requires ROR, the Contracting Officer shall negotiate a bilateral modification to the contract to add the additional SECREP item IAW the changes clause (52.243-1). The Contractor shall comply with all applicable contract clauses, including contract clause 52.215-21 Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or

Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data-Modifications: Alternate III, for each modification expected to result in a unit price totaling in excess of $2,000,000 the Contractor shall include information (other than cost or pricing data) necessary to determine whether prices are fair and reasonable. This information shall consist of three competitively obtained quotes from different subcontractors, or proof of commercial sales of the same item at the same or higher price in a competitive marketplace within the past year, or a statement of the reason neither of the previous two could be obtained and the Contractor’s opinion based on market research as to how the quoted price is determined to be fair and reasonable IAW FAR 15.404-1(b); and the pre-negotiated Mark-up Rate.

Note: The ROR and TDE Mark-up Rate negotiated at time of contract award shall be used for pricing new items during the entire contact period of performance. The negotiated fixed price for the new item is Fixed Price = Vendor

Price + Mark-up Rate.

G-6 IMPLEMENTATION OF DFARS 252.217-7028: Standard Over and Above (O&A) work is considered to include only actual parts and materials costs. No labor for providing quotes or researching, obtaining and installing parts or integrator indirect costs such as overhead, G&A, etc., shall be included as O&A charges.. The negotiated fixed price for O&As is Fixed Price = Vendor Price + Mark-up Rates.

The offeror is allowed to propose an integrator “Mark-up” Rate. See Solicitation Attachment 2 NSN List/Pricing

Workbook. Offerors overhead associated with effort to obtain O&A work.

This Section sets forth the procedures specified in DFARS PGI 217-7701 and DFARS Clause 252.217-7028 paragraph (b) for Standard O&A work. The need for Over and Above work shall be identified within 30 days of item turn in. When the Contractor discovers that Over and Above work, as defined in the subject clause and elsewhere in the contract, is required to return an item to the specified condition, the Contractor shall, within 7 calendar days, submit to the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) an Over and Above work request with supporting photos as necessary, in the format specified (Appendix 6 of PWS), and including the following other than cost or pricing information authorized by FAR Clause 52.215-21 Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or

Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data-Modifications (Alternate III). For each work request totaling in excess of $2,000,000 the Contractor shall include information (other than cost or pricing data) necessary to determine whether material prices are fair and reasonable. This information shall consist of three competitively obtained quotes from different sources, or proof of commercial sales of the same item at the same price in a competitive marketplace within the past year, or evidence that prices were obtained from a current published commercial catalogue, or a statement of the reason none of the previous could be obtained and the Contractor’s opinion based on market research as to how the quoted price is determined to be fair and reasonable IAW FAR 15.404-1(b). The Over and

Above work request shall also include a proposed new TAT, consisting of the estimated time to obtain and install the parts, complete any other work specified by the contract, and to return the item to its originating location. Where a digital image aids in the determination of the justification of the parts it should be included in the Over and above work request. Upon approval of the O&A work request by the contracting officer, the price and TAT are fixed and contractually binding. If the Contractor believes that an item is Beyond Economical Repair (BER) or Beyond

Physical Repair (BPR) the O&A work request will state as much and provide justification. When O&A work is required, the Contractor will cease any ROR action and obtain authorization in advance to proceed from the government contracting officer.

G-7 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED MATERIAL (GFM) / GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY

Requisitions for Government Furnished Material from the supply system which are requisitioned by a Contractor, or are to be shipped to a Contractor must be submitted to the Management Control Activity (MCA) specified below:

Services are essential if the effectiveness of defense systems or operations has the potential to be seriously impaired by the interruption of these services, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent.

(2) Mission-essential functions means those organizational activities that must be performed under all circumstances to achieve DoD component missions or responsibilities, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent. Failure to perform or sustain these functions would significantly affect DoD's ability to provide vital services or exercise authority, direction, and control.

(b) The Government has identified all or a portion of the contractor services performed under this contract as essential contractor services in support of mission-essential functions. These services are listed in Performance

Work Statement (PWS) 4.7 The Continuation of Essential Services Plan, dated 6 October 2020.

(3) As directed by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall participate in training events, exercises, and drills associated with Government efforts to test the effectiveness of continuity of operations procedures and practices.

(d)(1) Notwithstanding any other clause of this contract, the Contractor shall be responsible to perform those services identified as essential contractor services during crisis situations (as directed by the Contracting Officer), in accordance with its Mission-Essential Contractor Services Plan.

(2) In the event the Contractor anticipates not being able to perform any of the essential contractor services identified in accordance with paragraph (b) of this clause during a crisis situation, the Contractor shall notify the

Contracting Officer or other designated representative as expeditiously as possible and use its best efforts to cooperate with the Government in the Government's efforts to maintain the continuity of operations.

(e) The Government reserves the right in such crisis situations to use Federal employees, military personnel, or contract support from other contractors, or to enter into new contracts for essential contractor services.

(f) Changes. The Contractor shall segregate and separately identify all costs incurred in continuing performance of essential services in a crisis situation. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of an increase or decrease in costs within ninety days after continued performance has been directed by the Contracting Officer, or within any additional period that the Contracting Officer approves in writing, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract. The Contractor's notice shall include the Contractor's proposal for an equitable adjustment and any data supporting the increase or decrease in the form prescribed by the Contracting Officer. The parties shall negotiate an equitable price adjustment to the contract price, delivery schedule, or both as soon as is practicable after receipt of the Contractor's proposal.

(g) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (g), in subcontracts for the essential services.

The following notice should be placed on the title page: “Some parts of this document, as identified on individual pages, are considered by the submitter to be privileged or confidential trade secrets or commercial or financial information not subject to mandatory disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act. Material considered privileged or confidential on such grounds is contained on page(s) _______.”

Each individual item considered privileged or confidential under FOIA should be marked with the following notice:

FACTOR RESPONSES

At a minimum, the “sections” referenced under a Factor shall be addressed in the overall proposed Technical response.

Factor 1. Technical

Binder I: Technical –

The Technical Proposal shall be specific, detailed, and complete so as to clearly demonstrate to the Government that the Offeror has a thorough comprehension of the solicitation requirements and the capabilities to perform these requirements throughout the performance period. The technical section must be sufficient to show how the Offeror proposes to comply with the Government's requirements and must include a full explanation of the methodology and procedures to be followed. The Offeror must also identify and evaluate any risks associated with the Offeror’s proposed approach and propose mitigation steps to minimize the Government’s risk in accepting the Offeror’s proposed solution. The Technical Proposal will be evaluated in its entirety for strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, deficiencies, and applied to the Evaluation Criteria and assign a rating. Your submission shall clearly demonstrate the following:

Section 1 - Demonstrate capability to manage and execute the LIS SECREP ROR repair process.

The Offeror shall provide an effective management approach which demonstrates a minimum of three years of experience managing the remanufacture, overhaul and repair (ROR) of repairable assemblies from the following four categories (Communications-electronics, Ordnance, Motor transport, and Engineer items). The Offeror’s demonstrated experience must be across multiple geographically dispersed locations and on a scale similar to that required in the PWS. The experience must demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to act as a pass-through integrator (Third Party Logistics (3PL) provider) responsible for establishing and maintaining a vendor base capable of executing the ROR in accordance with technical manuals or OEM specifications within specified turnaround times (TAT) and with warranties offered to the customer for repairs. In addition, explain how the Offeror’s management approach will result in a flexible and agile

ROR repair process appropriate to meet the LIS individual and MC customer requirements by addressing and explaining the following:

a. Management Plan - The Offeror’s proposal shall provide a management plan detailing their ability to deliver the services that meet the requirements of the PWS. The Offeror shall include a detailed description of the management plan and approach to managing, teaming, communication, coordinating, resolving problems, ensuring flexibility appropriate to the magnitude and complexity of repair work required by each LIS SECREP customer at each geographic location as detailed in the PWS.

b. Staffing Plan - The Offeror shall outline how staffing will be resourced and managed. The

Offeror’s proposal shall provide an effective approach to coordinating its personnel and subcontractors to deliver the tasks stated in the PWS. The Offeror shall include a detailed description of the staffing approach used to provide low density, high demand personnel, as well as the Offeror’s demonstrated ability to recruit, train, and retain sufficient numbers of personnel with required skill sets required to support the nine LIS SECREP customers located at six different geographic locations adhering to the specific equipment repair needs and security requirements identified in the PWS.

c. Key Personnel - The Offeror shall provide the resume of all key personnel identified in the PWS which demonstrates the experience, education, and qualifications necessary to perform the requirements in the PWS. Resumes shall be submitted without names. Key personnel are to be considered critical to the successful performance of this contract. Prior to replacing any of these key personnel, the contractor shall obtain written consent of the contracting officer. In order to obtain this consent, the contractor must provide 30 calendar days advance notice of the proposed changes and must demonstrate that the qualifications of the proposed substitute personnel are generally equivalent to or better than the qualifications of the personnel being replaced. Resumes shall have a page limit of two pages each, but will not count towards the overall page count limit for Binder 1. The resumes shall demonstrate the qualifications possessed by the proposed key personnel to complete the functions of which the Offeror has proposed that person.

d. Quality Control - Offerors shall describe their approach towards providing quality control and quality assurance, including how they will ensure successful accomplishment of task order requirements and delivery of all contract/task order deliverables at a high quality level and what steps they will take to resolve quality issues / unsatisfactory deliverables. The Offeror shall provide a Quality Control Plan (Solicitation Attachment 5) in accordance with the PWS.

Section 2 - Demonstrate that the contractor-owned, contractor-operated IT tracking system meets the requirements of paragraph 5.11 of the PWS. Explain in detail how each element of Section 5.11 of the

PWS will be met.

Section 3 – Demonstrate experience repairing and handling controlled cryptographic items.

Section 4 – Explain the Offeror’s transition plan to phase into the role of the LIS SECREP integrator role without a break in service in accordance with the solicitation requirements. The Offeror shall provide a

Draft Transition Plan – Phase In (Solicitation Attachment 8) in accordance with the PWS. The Final

Transition Plan shall be provided three (3) days after the post award conference. Note: In addition, the

Offeror shall explain how they plan to meet the Form DD254 requirement of a position with the required capability to obtain and maintain at least a Secret Security Clearance Eligibility to be granted access to IT-

Level II sensitive information per DOD 5200.01 and SECNAV 5510.30 C and have a “SECRET” level

Facility Clearance Level (FCL) on Day 1 Ready of contract performance.

Section 5 – Mission Readiness:

a. Explain how the Offeror will ensure compliance with Contractual Turnaround Times (KTAT)s in the event there are vendor/subcontractor capacity limitations that compromise KTAT.

b. Describe the offeror's approach to support USMC mission readiness. Explain how the offeror will adhere to its proposed KTATs. Describe any vendor capacity limitations and how the offeror will mitigate the impact of vendor capacity limitations in order to maximize mission readiness. In order to ensure mission readiness, the Marine Corps (MC) customer(s) has to make a readiness decision i.e., NSN repair using organic services, NSN repair using the LIS SECREP process, or procure a replacement NSN. The decision is primarily driven by the length of time it will take to get an item back in serviceable condition in support of the warfighter. KTAT is a critical element to aiding the MC customers’ decision(s) regarding the execution of the mission and equipping the warfighter. Vendor/subcontractor capacity limitations could potentially have a negative impact on a KTAT. Therefore, it’s critical to the success of the SECREP LIS repair process, that the proposed TAT/KTAT reflect capacity limitations and/or constraints of the ROR vendor/subcontractor.

Factor 2. Past Performance

Binder II: Past Performance

In the Past Performance Binder, the Offeror shall demonstrate through its past performance on efforts of similar size, scope, and complexity that the Offeror will be able to perform the requirements outlined in this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide information that depicts its depth of past performance and qualification under contracts that have helped to establish its management and technical capability for the scope of work and variety of skill categories and manning levels proposed to perform work consistent with the size and scope of this requirement. The Offeror shall place particular emphasis on both recent (within five years of the proposal submission date) and relevant current DoD efforts. Note: Any Offeror past performance as a subcontractor shall be distinguished from Offeror prime contractor past performance. The Offeror shall specify the level of responsibility and the percentage of work performed while in a subcontractor capacity.

The Government may solicit information from the Offerors’ customers and business associates; Federal, state and local government agencies and databases; and from other persons and organizations. The Government reserves the right to limit the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the Offeror. Offerors that have no record of relevant past performance (e.g., new businesses) must submit a statement to that effect. The government will consider pp as prime more relevant that as sub

Note: Any Offeror past performance as a subcontractor shall be distinguished from Offeror prime contractor past performance. The Offeror shall specify the level of responsibility and the percentage of work performed while in a subcontractor capacity.

Section 1 - The Offeror shall provide a past performance narrative of five examples of similar efforts that addresses the following topics listed below. The narrative shall include the contract number, contract type, original contract value, current contract value, nature of the effort, period of performance, and place of performance.

a. Recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation for each past performance reference/example. (Note: “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last five years of proposal submission date.)

b. Magnitude addresses similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the Offeror’s submitted contracts to the PWS.

c. Complexity measures the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines to the PWS. This includes the Offeror’s ability to understand and resolve technical risk issues, including interaction with its subcontracts.

d. Contact information (telephone number and email address) for the Procuring Contracting Officer

(PCO), Contracting Officer Representative (COR), and Program Manager for each past performance reference/example.

Section 2 - The Offeror shall discuss past performance in the implementation of form-fit-function replacement solutions similar to the SECREP NSNs listed in Attachment 2 of this solicitation.
