C.6 CONTRACT MANAGEMENT

C.6.1 COMPETITION: All work will be conducted under individual Delivery Orders (DO) competed under a

Multiple Award Contract (MAC) for Indefinite-Delivery-Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ). The DOs will be individually competed. All Contractor’s shall respond to a DO request within the time specified by that DO or submit a “no bid” in order to qualify for receiving future opportunities to compete. All pricing included must include the total price and shipping. The Government anticipates making each DO award decision on an all or none basis to the lowest priced technically acceptable (LPTA) offeror who can also meet the required delivery schedule. However, each

Contractor’s ability to meet quality standards and delivery requirements based on their past performance under previous orders will be considered also. Vendors who fail to meet the specification and schedule requirements of individual Delivery Orders may be suspended or removed from further participation in the MAC IDIQ.

Additionally, a review of each offeror’s System for Award Management (SAM) account will be reviewed at https://sam.gov. Offerors who’s SAM registration has expired or whom appear on the Excluded Parties List there will be excluded from competition.

C.6.2 QUALITY AND SCHEDULE: Each individual DO will specify the quality and schedule required. Quality refers to items construction, the materials used and the specification required. Schedule refers to when the quantities specified are required by. The Government will inspect all deliverables to ensure overall technical acceptability and schedule(s) were fulfilled.

C.7 GOVERNMENT FURNISHED EQUIPMENT (GFE) AND GOVERNMENT FURNISHED

INFORMATION (GFI)

C.7.1 The Government will provide GFE and GFI when it is required at the DO level for integration and testing of prototype deliverables. These deliverables shall successfully pass the FAT before delivery to the Government.

Specific GFE will be identified in individual Delivery Orders for the respective prototype deliverables.

C.8 DELIVERABLES AND CDRL DISTRIBUTION

C.10 DIGITAL DELIVERY OF DATA

(a) Delivery by the Contractor to the Government of certain technical data and other information is now frequently required to be made in digital form rather than in hardcopy form. The method of delivery of such data and/or other information (i.e., in electronic, digital, paper hardcopy, or other form) shall not be deemed to affect in any way either the identity of the information (i.e., as “technical data” or “computer software”) or the Government’s and the

Contractor’s respective rights therein.

(b) Whenever technical data and/or computer software deliverables required by this contract are to be delivered in digital form, any authorized, required, or permitted markings relating to the Government’s rights in and to such technical data and/or computer software must also be digitally included as part of the deliverable and on or in the same medium used to deliver the technical data and/or software. Such markings must be clearly associated with the corresponding technical data and/or computer software to which the markings relate and must be included in such a way that the marking(s) appear in human-readable form when the technical data and/or software is accessed and/or used. Such markings must also be applied in conspicuous human-readable form on a visible portion of any physical medium used to effect delivery of the technical data and/or computer software. Nothing in this paragraph shall replace or relieve the Contractor’s obligations with respect to requirements for marking technical data and/or computer software that are imposed by other applicable clauses such as, where applicable and without limitation, DFARS 252.227-7013 and/or DFARS 252.227-7014.
