Representative Meal Trays The Contractor shall prepare and store representative meal trays at specified locations listed in Table 3.

Representative Meal Tray Locations - Table 3

Representative meal trays are prepared to hold meal items for epidemiological investigation and microbiological review in the event of a suspected outbreak of food-borne illness. Representative meal trays shall be prepared for each meal served at each mess hall location. Each meal tray will be held for one hundred and twenty hours (120) hours following the date/time of the sample collection.

The Contractor shall collect samples for every meal served. Samples shall come directly from serving pans actually located on the serving line. At a minimum, the items collected for the representative meal tray shall include all main entrees, starches, vegetables, desserts, fast-food items, salad bar items, salad dressings, fitness bar items, specialty bar items. Full portion sizes will be collected.

The Contractor shall label each sample collected with an adhesive label with the meal period, the date and the time that the sample was collected, and the date and time sample is to be discarded.

Meal Period: Breakfast Preparation Date: 10/22/2018 Preparation Time: 0705 Date/Time to be discarded: 10/25/2018, 0705

The Contractor shall store Representative Meal Trays under refrigeration and ensure meal trays are protected from cross contamination. The Contractor may dispose of the Representative Meal Tray contents after 120 hours, if the tray is not required by the Government.

Upon notification of a food-borne incident or possible food-borne incident, the Contractor shall hold all Representative Meal Trays in all mess halls affected until directed to dispose of the meal trays by the Government.

Samples from all items served with box meals, recreational meals, and remote site feeding shall also be maintained. The sample may be restricted to one serving line, if more than one serving line is being used to serve the meal. Samples shall be collected on patron dinnerware or in other appropriate containers, and wrapped with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.

The following have been modified:

2.2.12 Fruit Support

Reimbursement for Fruit Support Requirements shall be provided under CLIN X002.

2.6.3 GFP Preventive and Corrective Maintenance

The objective of GFP Preventive Maintenance Checks and Services (PMCS) is to reduce or identify corrective maintenance requirements and increase the life-cycle of GFP. PMCS includes cleaning, care, servicing, adjusting, lubricating, replacing broken or worn-out components, tightening of nuts and bolts, and tuning for the purpose of maintaining GFP in an operationally ready condition. PMCS is condition-based and shall be accomplished by systematic inspection, detection, and correction of failures.

The Contractor shall provide personnel to perform PMCS in accordance with the applicable equipment manufacturer’s documented recommendations. The Contractor shall keep all GFP in good operating condition and complete all corrective maintenance repairs within 30 calendar days of the Contractor becoming aware of the need to repair. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining equipment maintenance manuals not held by the Government. The Contractor shall provide recommendations to the Government in areas where food services may be improved through the removal of old, under-utilized, excess, or replacement of existing GFP. The Contractor shall deliver GFP Maintenance Reports, pursuant to Section 2.6.5.1 of this contract.

The estimated cost of replacement parts and materials in excess of $500 shall be approved by the ACOR prior to purchase. The Government may choose to have additional estimates prepared for a repair, and may choose to have a third party complete the repairs, if the Contractor’s estimate is considered to be excessive or unreasonable. The price of replacement parts billed to the Government shall not exceed the price paid by the Contractor for the parts.

Labor for preventative and corrective maintenance, to include subcontractor labor, shall be priced under CLIN X001 (AA FFS/AB M&MA). Replacement parts shall be priced under CLIN X008; G&A is unallowable. Invoices for repair parts shall be based on when the part was ordered, not when it is received. For example, if a part was ordered in Fiscal Year (FY) 19 and it arrived in FY20, the invoice shall be submitted in FY19.

2.6.5.2 GFP Inventory Reports

The Government may direct the Contractor to complete an inventory of one or more items of GFP at times other than those outlined in FAR 52.245-1. Such inventories shall be completed within three calendar days of the date of the request, and the results of the inventories shall be provided to the Government within 15 calendar days. The Contractor shall provide the Government with a GFP inventory report as prescribed in CDRL E002.

2.7.9 Marine Corps Food Management Information System (MCFMIS) The Contractor shall manage, operate, input, and maintain information within the food service information management systems used within the mess halls to support daily food service operations.

MCFMIS provides automated subsistence supply and food service management support. The Contractor shall be responsible for maintaining the information within the system. MCFMIS is the interface with DLA Troop Support STORES.

The DoD Common Access Card (CAC) shall be required to access MCFMIS. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable security regulations. A Defense Biometric Identification Systems (DBIDS) is required for permanent issuance of a CAC.

The Government will provide the system hardware (i.e., computer, and computer ancillary devices) needed to use the system, system software, and periodic software updates. The Contractor shall be responsible for providing required administrative supplies (e.g., printer paper, printer cartridges) to operate the system. One exception: at Mess Halls 1460, 1660, and 1880 located at MAGTF-TC MCAGCC 29 Palms, the Government will provide the ink, toner, and cartridges.

The Government will provide initial MCFMIS training to the Contractor during the transition plan, set forth in Section 2.7.13.

2.7.13.1 Phase-In Plan

The Contractor shall develop and implement a contract transition plan for phasing-in contractor performance. The full performance start date shall constitute the contract phase-in-period. Phase-in position staffing shall be spread evenly across the task areas unless otherwise noted.

All tasks prescribed in this contract require 75% staffing at contract award and notice to proceed and 100% staffing at the beginning of the period of performance. The apportionment of the appropriate staff, until reaching full staffing level at 100% shall be coordinated with, and approved by, the COR.

During the phase-in period, the Contractor shall prepare to meet all requirements and ensure all incoming personnel are trained and qualified to perform no later than the full performance start date.

During the phase-in period, the Contractor’s personnel shall interface with Government personnel and other Contractor personnel for purposes of transferring knowledge, lessons learned, and continuity of information and documents for the commencement of performance.

The prospective Contractor may contract directly with the current (incumbent) contractor to purchase any of the food stores, or other supplies or materials that are owned by the incumbent contractor and are located within the mess halls (or at any other location). This alternative is entirely at the discretion of the two contractors, and the Government will place no requirements on either contractor to buy, sell or trade any, some or all of the food supplies or other materials procured by the current contractor for use under the current contract. The Government is not responsible for this transaction.

An offeror that provides no socio-economic plan in response to this factor may be considered ineligible for award.

(2) Volume III – Price/Cost

Volume III shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price/cost breakdown with all supporting documentation.
