SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

L-1 INTRODUCTION

This is a full and open competition with a NAICS Code of 541511. The Government intends to award a single award indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity contract from this solicitation. If no viable proposals are received, the

Government may not make an award.

Offerors shall not submit more than one offer in response to this solicitation, and only written offers in accordance with the proposal submission instructions will be accepted. 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 evaluation factors specified in Section M of this RFP.

Section M contains a two-step evaluation process.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award contract(s) without discussions with Offerors (other than communications conducted for purposes of minor clarifications). However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary (see paragraph (4) of FAR

52.215-1(f)). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms for all factors.

Proposals shall be valid for 260 calendar days after the proposal submission due date.

This is an unclassified solicitation. No classified information shall be submitted in response to this solicitation.

Government Furnished information is available for this solicitation and must be requested using Attachment 4 to the solicitation. The request for GFI must be received not later than 18 June 2018 in order to receive it in an adequate amount of time to ask questions. Send the request to Mr. Clinton Wells at clinton.wells@usmc.mil AND Ms.

Suzanne Blagg at suzanne.blagg@usmc.mil.

L-2 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S) OF INTEREST (OCI)

(a) Any Offeror that has an identified Organizational Conflict of Interest that is unable to be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Government will not be eligible for award. If an Offeror believes or later discovers a potential conflict of interest exists, the Offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer within seven (7) calendar days of the date of this solicitation or if afterwards discovered, within 48 hours of the initial discovery.

(b) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either as a subcontractor or as a prime Contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those existing contractual arrangements in which a Contractor provides support to programs, operations or related activities for Marine Corps Systems Command or Program Manager Enterprise Information

Systems (PEO EIS) General guidance may be found in FAR 9.5 and DFARS 209.5; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive. The Offeror‘s attention is directed to any "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (or similar) requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) that prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government during the prescribed period contained in the

Offeror’s or its subcontractor’s current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of a "support" or other type of contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an OCI clause or similar requirement in mailto:clinton.wells@usmc.mil mailto:suzanne.blagg@usmc.mil current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with FAR 9.5 and identify within the proposal whether any potential or actual OCI exists, and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement.

(c) If a potential OCI exists, at any tier, the potential prime Offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer and provide:

(1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential OCI; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a proposed mitigation plan and (6) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the Offeror.

(d) Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source. Any Offeror who is determined to have an OCI that cannot, in the Government’s opinion, be mitigated, may be deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition. The

Offeror’s participation in this competition is contingent upon their acceptance of the contracting officer’s decision regarding any OCI as final.

(e) The Government will attempt to notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award.

Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that proposal preparation and any expenditure is at its own risk and will not be reimbursed by the Government if it is determined that an OCI exists.

(f) Any Offeror that proposes a subcontractor that is later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors continue as part of the evaluation through the normal source selection process.

(g) The Offeror shall in its Letter of Transmittal in response to this solicitation warrant, that to the best of its knowledge and belief, that either no OCI exists that would inhibit the performance of this contract in accordance with FAR 9.5 or if a conflict exists, the Offeror has fully reported as instructed above and the Offeror accepts that a mitigation plan, as required in FAR 9.5, will be submitted and approved by the Contracting Officer prior to any actual award of this contract to an Offeror with an OCI. Exchanges between and offeror and the Government to allow approval of an OCI mitigation plan are clarifications and not considered to be discussions.

This provision is not intended to restrict the Offeror’s opportunity to revise figures, e.g., prices, discounts, or percentage rates. Rather, it is intended to preclude any misunderstandings by the Government, which could result if new or revised terms and conditions are submitted in the proposal revision that have not been fully disclosed, discussed, and understood during discussions. Hence, if such new or revised terms and conditions are not solicited and, if submitted in the final proposal revision, the offer may be unacceptable to the Government.
