The following have been modified:

SECTION B

B-1.1 CONTRACT STRUCTURE

B-1.1 The Contractor shall perform all services as described in the attached Performance Work Statement for the entire ordering periods of the contract. The Government intends to award a single Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with five, 1-year ordering periods as a result of this solicitation. Task Orders issued under the resulting contract will be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) and/or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF).

As an ID/IQ, some CLINs will be awarded immediately following contract award; however, services within the scope required at a later date will be orderd on an “as needed” basis. The Government intends to utilize the proposed fixed hourly burdened rates and individual labor categories for all task orders awarded under the contract. Therefore, the Offeror shall provide, in Attachment 5, ALL labor categories and fully burdened rates necessary to complete the requirements identified in the PWS for each CLIN.

The contract resulting from this solicitation will include cost reimbursable CLINs for travel and other direct costs (ODCs) (CLIN 1020). For CLIN 1020 (to include the corresponding ordering period CLINs), NTE amounts have been provided by the Government for ODCs and Travel under Section B of the solicitation. For CLINs 1014 through 1019, costs will be proposed for each Task Order and may require certified cost and pricing data.

B-1.2 Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) 1001 through 1011 (to include corresponding ordering period CLINs) are FFP CLINs that will be FFP through out the contract period of performance. CLINs 1012 through 1019 (to include corresponding ordering period CLINs) are FFP and/or CPFF CLINs that will be negotiated in individual task orders and separate PWS(s) will be provided. CLINs 1021, 1022, and 1023 are for sample task orders and shall be pre-priced.

B-1.3 The base contract is not funded. Funds will be obligated on task orders written against this contract. Some Task Orders issued under this contract may be incrementally funded pursuant to FAR 52.232-22 and DFARS 252.232-7007.

B-2 MINIMUM GUARANTEE AND MAXIMUM CEILING

The minimum guarantee over the life of this contract, per FAR 52.216-22, is limited to the issuance of Task Order 0001 at Contract Award. Task Order 0001 will order services associated with CLIN 1001 for the first ordering period of performance. The anticipated maximum ceiling amount for this contract is $93,000,000.00 over a five-year period of performance. Individual task orders will be awarded in accordance with Section G Ordering. The contract maximum represents an estimated total requirement over the life of the contract and the Government is not obligated to issue orders, other than the minimum guarantee.

B-3 ISSUANCE OF TASK ORDERS

All services performed under this contract shall be set forth in individual task orders. All orders will be issued in accordance with the basic contract.

B-4 PRICING OF LABOR RATES FOR TASK ORDERS

As an ID/IQ contract will be awarded as a result of this solicitation, services within the scope shall be required at a later date, whether for Firm-Fixed Price CLINs or Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) CLINs, on an “as needed” basis.

The Government intends to utilize the proposed fixed hourly burdened rates and individual labor categories proposed for all task orders awarded under this ID/IQ. Therefore, Offerors shall complete (in accordance with Section L) the ID/IQ Labor Rates and Categories Worksheet in Attachment 5 “Pricing Workbook” to this RFP, for ALL labor categories and fully burdened rates (Prime and Subcontractor) necessary to complete the requirement identified in the ID/IQ PWS for each CLIN (e.g.1001, 1002, etc.). This table, with some columns removed, will be incorporated into the awarded contract. Because this contract may award CPFF task orders that may required certified cost and pricing data, Offerors shall enter their pre-negotiated Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) for their fixed labor rates.

Labor rates shall be fixed over the life of the contract. However, the contractor may submit a proposal requesting a change to the contract’s fixed labor rates, either generally or for a given task order, at any time during the life of the contract. The Government will review these proposals and determine if the revised rates are realistic and in the best interest of the Government. If the rates are accepted, the Government will modify the contract by incorporating the new rates. The rates proposed in Attachment 5 will be utilized, with their corresponding labor category as a ceiling price rate for all task orders.

SECTION E - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

SECTION E

E-1 INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE CRITERIA

a. Final inspection and acceptance of all work, performance, reports, and other deliverables under this contract shall be performed at the location specified in individual task orders.

If other inspection and acceptance criterion applies, each order will designate the individual responsible.

b. The basis for acceptance shall be in compliance with the requirements set forth in the orders; and other terms and conditions of the contract. Deliverable items rejected under resulting task orders shall be corrected in accordance with applicable clauses.

In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) (2), various price analysis techniques and procedures will be employed to ensure the prices being proposed for the Task Order requirements are fair and reasonable.

Specifically, any CPFF Task Order requirements at $750,000.00 and above, will require the contractor to provide certified cost and pricing data.

G-9 CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

(a) Notwithstanding the contractor’s responsibility for total management during the performance of this contract, the administration of the contract requires maximum coordination between the Government and the contractor. The following provides the roles and their respective authority during the performance of the contract.

(1) Contracting Officer (KO). The KO is the only person authorized to direct changes in any of the requirements under this contract, and notwithstanding provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, said authority remains the solely in the KO. In the event the Contractor effects any such change at the direction of any person other than the KO, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and solely at the risk of the Contractor.

All contract administration will be effected by the KO. Communications pertaining to contractual administrative matters shall be addressed to the KO. No changes in or deviation from the terms and conditions of the contract shall be effected without a written modification to the contract executed by the KO authorizing such changes.

(2) Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR).

The Contractor shall not in any way represent that he is a part of the U.S. Government or that he has the authority to contract or procure supplies for the account of the United States of America.

G-10 CONTRACTOR’S PROPOSAL

The Contractor’s Proposal, or portions thereof, may be incorporated into the contract.

G-11 CONSTRUCTIVE CHANGE ORDERS

(a) No modification, statement, or conduct of Government personnel who might visit the Contractor’s facility or in any other manner communicate with Contractor personnel during the performance of this contract shall constitute a change under the “Changes” clause of this contract.

(b) No understanding or agreement, contract modification, change order, or other matter deviating from or constituting an alteration or change of the terms of the contract shall be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer.

(c) The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements of this contract and, not withstanding provisions contained elsewhere in the contract, this authority remains solely with the Contracting Officer. In the event that the Contractor effects any change(s) at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer, these change(s) will be at the Contractor’s expense. No adjustment shall be made in the contract price or other contract terms and conditions, as the Contracting Officer did not approve any consideration for the aforementioned unauthorized change. Further, should the unauthorized change be to the Government’s detriment, the Contractor may be held financially responsible for its correction.

G-12 POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICTS OF INTEREST (OCI)

Limitation of Future Contracting. The Contracting Officer has determined that this acquisition may give rise to a potential conflict of interest. Prospective Offerors should read FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest. This task may involve systems engineering and technical direction for the MC2S program that will preclude Contractor involvement in future efforts. The restrictions upon future contracting are as follows:

If the Contractor, under the terms of this task order, or through the performance of tasks pursuant to this task order, is required to provide systems engineering and technical direction for a system or helps to develop specifications or statements of work to be used in a competitive acquisition, the Contractor shall be ineligible to supply the system or major components of the system as a prime Contractor and shall be precluded from being a Subcontractor or consultant to a supplier of the system or any of its major components under an ensuing Government contract.

This restriction shall remain in effect for a reasonable time, sufficient to avoid unfair competitive advantage or potential bias (this time shall in no case be less than the duration of the initial production contract).

To the extent the work under this contract requires access to proprietary, business confidential, or financial data of other companies, and as long as these data remain proprietary or confidential, the Contractor shall protect the data from unauthorized use and disclosure and agrees not to use it to compete with those other companies.

(a) “ Organizational Conflict of Interest” means that because of other activities or relationships with other persons, a person is unable or potentially unable to render impartial assistance or advice to the Government, or the person’s objectivity in performing the contract work is or might be otherwise impaired, or a person has an unfair competitive advantage. “Person” as used herein includes corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, and other business enterprises.

(b) The Contractor warrants that to the best of its knowledge and belief, and except as otherwise set forth in the contract, the Contractor does not have any organizational conflict of interest(s) as defined in paragraph (a).

(c) It is recognized that the effort to be performed by the Contractor under this contract may create a potential organizational conflict of interest on the instant contract or on a future acquisition. In order to avoid potential conflict of interest, and at the same time to avoid prejudicing the best interest of the Government, the right of the Contractor to participate in future procurement of equipment and/or services that are the subject of any work under this contract shall be limited as described below in accordance with the requirements of FAR 9.5.

(d) Disclosure of Information.

The Contractor agrees that it shall not release, disclose, or use in any way that would permit or result in disclosure to any party outside the Government any information provided to the Contractor by the Government during or as a result of performance of this contract. Such information includes, but is not limited to, information submitted to the Government on a confidential basis by other persons.Further, the prohibition against release of Government provided information extends to cover such information whether or not in its original form, e.g., where the information has been included in Contractor generated work or where it is discernible from materials incorporating or based upon such information.

SECTION L

SECTION L: Instructions, Conditions, and Notices to Offerors Section L-1 – Proposal Submission

I. Introduction The Government intends to meet its requirements by selecting a single contractor for award of an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract consisting of a 5 year ordering period, utilizing a firm-fixed-price and a cost-plus-fixed-fee type CLIN structure.

II. General This section contains general instructions for submitting proposals for this effort as defined below:

A. The proposal shall be complete and clear in all respects without the need for additional explanation or information. The proposal shall be in sufficient detail and scope to permit the Government to evaluate it with respect to the technical and cost/price factors specified under Section M of this solicitation.

B. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to submit a well-written proposal, with adequately detailed information which demonstrates its clear understanding of, and compliance with, the solicitation requirements. Offerors are cautioned against general, vague or unsubstantiated statements which prevent or render difficult the Government’s evaluation of the proposal. Statements such as “will comply,” or “noted and understood,” without a supporting narrative to define compliance, are rarely acceptable. Further, a proposal that merely “parrots back” the requirements of the solicitation, but fails to provide the required approach to meeting the solicitations requirements, is generally unacceptable.

C. Data, even though previously submitted or presumed known by the Government, cannot be considered as part of the Offeror’s proposal unless submitted with, and incorporated into, the proposal.

D. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between projected performance and cost/price, should be explained in detail by the Offeror. The burden of demonstrating technical merit and adequate approach at a realistic cost/price rests with the Offeror.

E. As prescribed by 52.215-1, the Government may award on the basis of initial offers received, without discussion. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and award on the basis of proposal revisions.

F. Offerors are expected to submit sufficient information in the format specified in this section.

Section L-2 – Offeror’s Proposal Requirements

1. Contract Award

Any Offeror that is rated “Marginal” or below in any evaluation criteria may not be considered for contract award.

Award will be to the responsive and responsible Offeror whose proposal (conforming to the solicitation) represents the best value to the Government considering the areas of Technical Approach, Past Performance, Management Approach, Subcontracting and Small Business Participation, and Price. The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced Offeror or to other than the Offeror with the highest technical rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government. The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government’s interest.

NOTE: All or part of the successful Offeror’s technical proposal may be incorporated into the contract resulting from this solicitation. Nothing contained in the successful Offeror’s technical proposal shall constitute a waiver to any requirement of the contract. In the event of any conflict between the successful Offeror’s technical proposal and any portion of the resulting task order, the conflict shall be resolved in favor of the task order.
