CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (JUN 2016)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

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 Web sites) 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 National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(i) Limit information system access to authorized users, processes acting on behalf of authorized users, or devices (including other information systems).

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(vi) Authenticate (or verify) the identities of those users, processes, or devices, as a prerequisite to allowing access to organizational information systems.

(vii) Sanitize or destroy information system media containing Federal Contract Information before disposal or release for reuse.

(viii) Limit physical access to organizational information systems, equipment, and the respective operating environments to authorized individuals.

(ix) Escort visitors and monitor visitor activity; maintain audit logs of physical access; and control and manage physical access devices.

(x) Monitor, control, and protect organizational communications (i.e., information transmitted or received by organizational information systems) at the external boundaries and key internal boundaries of the information systems.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other

Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial items, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.

All submission and attachments shall be in Microsoft Office Word or Excel with the exception of the completed and signed SF 1449 and all amendments if applicable, and the signed letters of commitment which may be submitted in Adobe Acrobat format. Submissions are page limited to the maximum number of pages as defined above. These page limitations are inclusive of the executive summary and any charts, diagrams, and/or other graphics. Graphics (including tables) in the quote may use an alternative font with 8-point size type or larger. Each “page” is defined as one sheet, 8 ½“ x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using a font with a point size of 12 or greater (e.g., "Times New Roman" style with 12-point font). Lines shall, at a minimum, be selected as single-spaced in Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word Normal character spacing. Pages shall be consecutively numbered. Multiple pages, double pages, two-sided pages, or foldouts will count as an equivalent number of 8 ½" x 11" pages. The quoter is permitted to submit no more than one page for each of the following, which will not be included in the page count: a cover sheet, list of tables, list of figures, compliance matrix, table of contents, tabs, and dividers.

Pages submitted in excess of the page limitations described within will not be evaluated.

The Price Quote is not page limited; however, the Price Quote is to be strictly limited to price information and completed solicitation documents as described in the General Section at the beginning of this text.

* Page limits represent the maximum pages the Government will evaluate and are not construed as de facto standards for the amount of material expected in the quote.

VOLUME I – NON-PRICE SUBMITTAL

The Non-price Quote evaluation factors are listed below:

1. Factor I - Technical Approach

Sub-Factor I - Kev Personnel The quoter shall provide qualifying documents including a resume for each of the proffered contractor personnel who would be tasked with meeting the requirements in Section 3 of the PWS. Documents shall provide sufficient information to confirm all qualification requirements, and will be included in the overall page count of the quote. A letter of intent shall accompany any resume submitted for an individual who is not currently employed by the prime quoter or an intended subcontractor. Letters of intent will not count against the page total. The minimum required number of credential packages for each key resource is shown below. The individuals filling these positions are considered to be contractor "key personnel."

Contractor Resource Minimum Required Packages Number of Qualification Packages

Safety Instructor (Prime) One (1) Safety Instructor (Alternate) One (1)

Sub-Factor II - Contingency Plan The quoter shall describe the method planned to replace an instructor in event of an emergency, illness, or death (see PWS 1.6.1 and 4.5). Since the Government reserves the right to request that an instructor be replaced due to poor performance detailed in Sections 7 and Section 8, this plan must address the following contingencies:

• How to replace resource personnel due to emergent/unforeseen circumstance without interruption or degradation of performance

• How to replace resource personnel due to poor performance or lack of qualifications without interruption or degradation of performance

Sub-Factor III - Quality Assurance Plan

The quoter shall describe in detail the quoter’s plan to ensure only qualified instructors are deployed to teach the Machinery and Machine Guarding course AND to ensure only NAVSAFENVTRACEN-approved information is delivered to students, per section 1.6.1 of the PWS. The description shall clearly describe tools to be used and steps to be taken to ensure the following:

• All instructors are fully qualified according to the PWS

• All materials are approved and current with prevailing standards and policies

• Improvement of instructor performance as required

• Maintenance of instructor skills/proficiencies

For technical review and evaluation, the quoter shall submit the portion of Student Guide/Manual based upon Appendix A, Lesson Topic 4.0 of the PWS as it would be taught to students. The sample shall include the following materials for lesson topics Appendix A Lesson Topic 4.0, along with any additional materials determined pertinent by the course instructor(s), and clearly demonstrate the following requirements:

Lesson Plans, Student Handouts, References, Charts, Manuals, Tests, Audiovisual Aids, and Training Equipment. (All materials reflect the most current Navy and OSHA policies and guidelines.)

Information is accurate and accompanied by effective graphics and samples, presented in a logical order, with designated space for note-taking.

2. Factor II - Past Performance

To demonstrate its past performance, the quoter shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date. Those contracts must also reflect one year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. Quoter’s shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule. Quoter’s shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference. Quoter’s may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders (TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the quoter shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. A Past Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required may not be evaluated. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal.

If a proposed subcontractor’s past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The quoter’s submittal shall also detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform may not be evaluated.

If the prime quoter or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/sub/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A Past Performance example that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort may not be evaluated.

The past performance of subcontractors who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as a prime contractor’s past performance.

Failure of quoter’s to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the contract reference not being evaluated.

The quoter shall complete an Attachment II “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation.

In addition to the information requested above, quoter’s shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete Attachment III, Past Performance Report Form, and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Courtney Dunlow at courtney.p.dunlow.civ@us.navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION SHOWN IN BLOCK 8 OF THE RFQ. The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The Government intends to award a single Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) with Firm, Fixed-Price (FFP) provisions type contract to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The quote shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in Addendum FAR 52.212-1. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

The evaluation of quotes will consider the Non-Price Quote to be significantly more important than the Price Quote.

Within the Non-Price Quote, Technical Approach is more important than Past Performance. The Technical Approach will be composed of Sub-factor I-Key Personnel, Sub-factor II - Contingency Plan, Sub-factor III¬ Quality Assurance Plan, and Sub-factor IV - Sample of Student Guide/Material, all of which are of equal importance.

The Government intends to award the contract on initial quotes without exchanges. Accordingly, each quoter should submit its most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to establish exchanges with quoters if later determined by the PCO to be necessary. Quoters simply providing general statements or paraphrasing/parroting the PWS in whole or in any part may result in a rating of unacceptable.

The Government reserves the right to award a FFP contract to other than the lowest priced quoter.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM FAR 52.212-2 – EVALUATION CRITERIA:

The Government intends to award the contract on initial quotes without exchanges. Accordingly, each quoter should submit its most favorable terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to establish exchanges with quoters if later determined by the PCO to be necessary. Quoters simply providing general statements or paraphrasing/parroting the PWS in whole or in any part may result in a rating of unacceptable.

The Government reserves the right to award a FFP contract to other than the lowest priced quoter.

The evaluation of quotes will consider the Non-Price Quote to be significantly more important than the Price Quote.

Within the Non-Price Quote, Technical Approach is more important than Past Performance. The Technical Approach will be composed of Sub-factor I-Key Personnel, Sub-factor II - Contingency Plan, Sub-factor III¬ Quality Assurance Plan, and Sub-factor IV - Sample of Student Guide/Material, all of which are of equal importance.

VOLUME I – NON-PRICE SUBMITTAL

The Non-Price Quote comprises Technical Approach and Past Performance.

The overall evaluation of Factor I, Technical Approach, will be based on each quoter's response to the requirements of FAR 52.212-1 "Instructions to Vendors -Commercial Items" and its Addendum included in the solicitation, as well as requirements of the PWS. In the execution of the evaluations, both the quoter's Technical Approach to meeting the Government’s requirements as defined in the solicitation and the Risk related to this proposed approach will be assessed.

A combined Technical/Risk Rating will be utilized in the summary evaluation of the technical factor and subfactors.

The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Combined technical/risk evaluations will utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 1, “Combined Technical/Risk Rating Table.”

The purpose of the technical factor and subfactors is to assess the quoter’s approach to satisfy the Government’s requirements. The evaluation of risk is related to the assessment of the quoter’s technical submittal. Risk, as it pertains to source selection, is the potential for unsuccessful contract performance. The consideration of risk assesses the degree to which a quoter’s approach to achieving the technical factor involves risk of disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Risk will be considered in the evaluation of all technical factor and subfactors.

a. Factor I - Technical Approach

Sub-factor I - Key Personnel The Quoter will be evaluated on their apparent capability to provide qualified instructors according to Section 3 of the PWS.

Specifically, all qualification documents, including accompanying letters of intent, will be evaluated based on their demonstrated support of all requirements for qualifications and experience as defined in PWS Section 3.3.

Sub-Factor II - Contingency Plan The quoter will be evaluated on its apparent ability to provide a contingency plan for replacement of resource personnel that meets all the specified performance requirements in the PWS. The quoter's contingency plan will be evaluated on its feasibility, its comprehensiveness, and the degree to which the quoter’s plan provides assurance of uninterrupted high-quality performance in the following circumstances:

• Plan to successfully maintain performance with replacement of resource personnel due to emergent/unforeseen circumstance

• Plan to successfully maintain performance with replacement of resource personnel due to poor performance or lack of qualifications

Sub-Factor III-Quality Assurance Plan Quoter will be evaluated on how the quoter plans to maintain and increase quality of the course materials and resource personnel as identified in Section 1.6.1 of the PWS. The quoter's quality assurance plan will be evaluated on its feasibility, its comprehensiveness, and the degree to which the quoter demonstrates how the following requirements will be accomplished:

• Ensuring fully qualified instructors are consistently available and deployed for performance

• Updating and providing only approved and current materials according to the PWS

• Address and resolve deficient performance of instructors

• Maintain/retain successfully performing instructors

Sub-Factor IV - Sample of Student Guide/Material Quote will be evaluated on the quality, functionality and effectiveness of the sample portion of the student guide/manual and associated handouts and graphics for the selected lesson topics 4.0, Appendix A., found in Appendix of the PWS. The quote will be evaluated based on the degree of achievement of the following required attributes:

• Accuracy of the information, effectiveness of graphics and samples, order of presentation of information, inclusion of designated space for note-taking.

• Compliance of the sample with the most current Navy and OSHA policies and guidelines.

*NOTE: A rating of “Marginal” for any Technical factor or subfactor means that the quoter’s quote is not awardable without a change or changes to the quoter’s submittal. A quote which includes a “Marginal” rating is not eligible for award if award is made on initial quote. Quoters that receive a “Marginal” rating are considered to be susceptible to correction if the Contracting Officer determines that an exchange is appropriate and said exchange is conducted.

** NOTE: Quotes receiving a rating of ‘Unacceptable’ for Factor I – Technical Approach, or any of its subfactors are not awardable and will not be further evaluated.

VOLUME I – NON-PRICE SUBMITTAL

b. Factor II - Past Performance

The past performance evaluation factor assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in an offeror’s ability to meet the contract’s requirements based on the quality of a demonstrated record of recent and relevant performance. There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, and quality. These are combined to establish a single performance confidence assessment rating for each offeror.

Past Performance Recency: Recency is the first aspect of the past performance evaluation and is the time period during which past performance references are considered relevant. Recency is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. For purposes of this solicitation, recent past performance is performance that has taken place within five (5) years of the issuance date of this solicitation. Performance outside of this stated period will not be considered for evaluation purposes.

Past Performance Relevancy: Regarding relevancy, each past performance reference under each offeror’s Past Performance submission will be evaluated to determine its scope, [complexity], and magnitude relative to the instant requirement. The following definitions will apply to this evaluation:

● Scope: Experience in the areas described in the PWS.

● Magnitude: The similarity of the dollar value of actually performed work that exists between the PWS and the offeror’s referenced contracts during the stated five-year period established by the solicitation.

The relevancy rating assigned to each past performance reference will be considered in determining the weight to be given to that reference in the overall Past Performance Confidence Assessment. References determined to be “Not Relevant” will not be further considered. Similarly, the quality of performance under a past performance reference that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of past performance confidence. In determining the rating for the past performance factor, past performance of greater relevancy will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

Past Performance Quality: The third aspect of the past performance evaluation is to establish the overall quality of the offeror’s past performance. The Government will review all past performance information collected and determine the quality of the offeror’s performance, including general trends and usefulness of the information, and will incorporate this into the performance confidence assessment.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment: The overall assigned rating for past performance will be the Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating, defined in the table below. The assignment of this rating will be based on the overall quality of the recent and relevant past performance and will also consider the source of the information, the context of the data, and general trends in the offeror’s performance. The quality of performance under a past performance reference that that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be considered in the overall assessment of past performance confidence. Evaluation will focus only on work already performed. Work yet-to-be performed and work not reflecting one year of completed performance by the solicitation closing date will not be considered.

In the case of offerors for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the past performance factor. In this case, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “Neutral Confidence.” Although an offeror that lacks recent, relevant past performance may not be rated favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the Government may determine that a “Substantial Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating provides better value to the Government than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating.

In order to evaluate Past Performance, the Government may also utilize existing data sources, including the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases;

communication with points of contact in the offeror’s customer’s organization, which could include private sector requirements and contracts personnel, Administrative Contracting Officers, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) personnel, Procuring Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives, and other Government activity requirements personnel. The Government may verify past performance information. The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews, and existing data sources. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources, including sources outside of the Government. This information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.
