PMS 377 - The FDO, the Amphibious Warfare Program Manager (PMS377), in consultation with the

Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), for CLIN 0001 and Option CLINs 0002, 0003, 0101, 0102 and 0103 shall make determinations of the award fee due to the Contractor based upon the performance evaluation conducted by the AFB established pursuant to paragraph (c) above.

Option CLINs 0201, 0202, 0203, 0301, 0302 and 0303 shall make determinations of the award fee due to the

Contractor based upon the performance evaluation conducted by the AFB established pursuant to paragraph (c) above.

(f) Award Fee Determination and Reclaim Procedures

(1) Within ten (10) days after the end of each evaluation period, the Contractor shall furnish to the AFB such information as may be reasonably required, including the final Funds and Man-hours Expenditure Report for each contract line item under review, to assist the AFB in evaluating the Contractor’s performance during that evaluation period.

(2) The AFB evaluation will be scheduled within twenty (20) working days of the end of each evaluation period. The Board may consider reports, both oral and written, from all interested parties. The Board shall arrive at a consensus on the performance rating and advise the FDO of its recommendation including the reasons, rationale, and justifications. The Board findings shall be presented to the Contractor who will then be provided an opportunity to provide written comments on the evaluation findings to the FDO within five (5) working days. In such case, these comments, in addition to AFB’s recommendation, shall be considered by the FDO in establishing the award fee earned.

(3) The FDO shall provide the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) a final performance evaluation and determination of the award fee earned for that period within five (5) working days after receipt of the Board’s findings or the Contractor’s written comments, whichever is later.

(4) Within ten (10) working days after receipt of the FDO’s final determination and the Procurement Request

(PR), the Contracting Officer shall issue a unilateral modification to the contract to provide for the award fee earned for that period.

(g) Fee Determination Official’s Determination

Determinations of the FDO with respect to the amount of the award fee to be paid to the Contractor and the methodology for determining the award fee are unilateral decisions made solely at the discretion of the Government.

(h) Evaluation Categories and Factors

The Contractor's performance during each evaluation period will be judged in the categories listed below.

The Government reserves the right to make changes in evaluation categories and factors or weights assigned to evaluation categories by unilateral modification. The Contractor may propose performance objectives for any period, however; only those received at least thirty (30) days prior to the start of an evaluation period will be considered for that evaluation period. It is the Government’s unilateral decision whether to implement Contractor recommendations for performance objectives. The Contractor will be notified of changes in the evaluation categories and factors as well as adjustments to the weighting of categories, if any, prior to commencement of each period of performance. Unsatisfactory performance under an award fee criterion may result in increased weighting for that factor in subsequent evaluation periods.
