INVOICING INSTRUCTIONS:

The Offeror is directed to the Wide Area Workflow (WAWF) clause under DFARS 252.232-7006 (additional instructions and DoDAAC codes will be provided upon issuance of the first task order). The electronic invoice shall include substantiating documentation including task order number, labor category, hours, and rates for the current period and the cumulative totals for the period of performance as applicable.

In accordance with FAR 52.212-4(i)(1), payment shall be made for services or ODCs accepted by the Government.

Invoices may be billed in arrears on a no more than monthly basis.

CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION:

Notwithstanding the Offeror's responsibility for total management during the performance of this contract, the administration of the contract will require maximum coordination between the Government and the Offeror.

Communications pertaining to the contract administration will be addressed to the Contracting Officer. No changes are authorized without a written modification to the contract or applicable task order executed by the Contracting

Officer.

The Offeror is advised that the Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to change or modify the contract terms or take any other action that obligates the Government.

The Offeror who relies on direction from other than the Contracting Officer does so at their own risk and expense.

Any contractual questions shall be directed to the Contracting Officer, or Contract Specialist of record.

The COR is limited to providing program specific clarification to the contractor’s project manager. The COR does not have the authority to take action (directly or indirectly) that would change the pricing, quality, place of performance, delivery schedule, or any other terms and conditions of this contract or to authorize work outside the scope of this PWS. If the Contractor perceives the COR or other Government personnel is requesting an effort outside the scope of this contract, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer in writing. No action shall be taken by the Contractor until the Contracting Officer has issued a contractual change or otherwise resolved the issue.

TASK ORDER PROCEDURES:

This contract is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract based on fixed labor rates against which individual orders may be placed on a Firm Fixed Price basis. Detailed requirements will be specified in the individual task order.

Task orders will be issued in one of two manners under this contract:

1) Unilaterally by the contracting officer using the applicable FFP labor rates in the contract;

2) By sending a task RFP to the contractor requesting a proposal from the contractor by a specified date. Task

Order Proposals submitted will include:

a. the Offeror’s understanding of the problem,

b. a detailed work plan describing the Offeror’s approach to meeting the Government’s requirements

(including proposed labor categories, number of personnel, and number of hours proposed),

c. pricing in accordance with the labor rates and other pricing terms of the basic contract,

d. proposed delivery or performance schedule, and

e. any special assumptions.

Task orders may require negotiating labor mix and are not considered final until the task order is issued by the contracting officer. Funds are obligated on each Task Order, on a SF Form 1449, and not on the Base IDIQ contract itself. Expenditures beyond the ceiling or firm fixed price amount stated in each order will NOT be paid.

“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 websites) 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

Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender’s request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.
