52.204-21 BASIC SAFEGUARDING OF COVERED CONTRACTOR INFORMATION SYSTEMS (NOV 2021)

(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 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

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 products or commercial services, 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.

Volume I: Non-Price Quote

Factor I – Technical Approach:

Sub-Factor I – Staffing Approach

The quoter shall provide a staffing approach that demonstrates the quoter’s ability to provide the required support services and hire and retain the appropriate mix of personnel resources with the skill set levels necessary as identified in the PWS. Specifically, quoters shall address the following:

• A proposed methodology for recruitment of personnel meeting the position-dependent experience, certifications, and qualifications delineated in Section 4.3 of the PWS;

• An approach to ensure personnel qualifications remain current;

• An approach to personnel performance monitoring, skill maintenance, and skill improvement; and a meaningful and proactive retention strategy. The quoter is encouraged to provide historical data to substantiate achievements in past recruiting efforts and sustained retention of employees/low employee turnover rates.

• The RFQ and PWS provides a Government estimated level of effort (LOE) for informational purposes only. Quoters shall provide labor mix to include at a minimum identification of labor categories, number of personnel per labor category, and number of hours.

Sub-Factor II – Performance and Management Approach

The quoter shall demonstrate an understanding of, familiarity with, and ability to perform the specific technical requirements and tasks in PWS Section 4.1, to establish to the government that the quoter is capable of fully providing these services at the level of quality required. The quoter’s approach shall provide a plan that clearly describes the management controls, techniques, and procedures that will be used to ensure required work is performed in a timely, responsive, professional, and efficient manner and clearly detail how this effort will be managed within the quoter’s corporate organizational structure.

***The Technical submission is limited to 20 pages (10 pages for Staffing Approach and 10 pages for Performance and Management Approach)***

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. Quoters 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. Quoters shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference. Quoters 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 quoters to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the contract reference not being evaluated.

With respect to joint ventures, the procuring activity will consider work done individually by each member of the joint venture as well as any work done by the joint venture itself previously. Joint venture references must meet the temporal requirements described in ADDENDUM TO FAR PROVISION 52.212-1 (within five years and a year of completed performance). Additionally, if a joint venture member submits a past performance reference, the joint venture member shall detail clearly the work that it performed in that effort and the magnitude (dollar value) of that work. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the joint venture member’s effort for that reference may not be evaluated. The past performance of a joint venture member who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the joint venture’s past performance.

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

In addition to the information requested above, quoters shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Past Performance Report Form and e-mail the completed survey form directly to

Stephanie Lent at Stephanie.r.lent.civ@us.navy.mil and Morgan Olszak at morgan.e.olszak.civ@us.navy.mil by the

DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION. 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.

***The Past Performance submission is limited to 12 pages.***

Volume II – Price Quote

Factor III – Price:

In addition to the items required in the General Section above, Volume II shall include the following:

- Completed solicitation documents to include signed copies of all amendments, if applicable.

- A completed pricing spreadsheet provided as an attachment of the RFQ. The pricing spreadsheet will indicate pricing information for each ordering year as well as the total for all years.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(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 award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), Firm-Fixed Price

(FFP) contract to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and sub-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, solicitation provision FAR 52.212-1 entitled “Instructions to Quoters -

Commercial Items” and its Addendum. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract based on initial quotes. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter’s best terms from a non-price and price standpoint. However, the Government may contact any or all quoters with questions concerning their responses. The

Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced quoter; award a contract without exchanges; or award a contract after exchanges, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.

The Government will conduct a Tradeoff source selection process. The evaluation of quotes will consider the

Non-Price Quote to be significantly more important than the Price Quote. Factor I is more important than Factor II.

Factor’s I and II and their sub-factors are significantly more important than Factor III - Price. Within Factor I, the two (2) sub-factors are weighted equally.

Quoters receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” for Factor I, or its’ sub-factors, are considered un-awardable and will not be further evaluated.

Initially, quotes shall be ranked according to price, inclusive of all option pricing. A Quoter’s proposed pricing will be determined by adding all extended amounts for the CLINs in the “Schedule of Supplies/Services.”

If the lowest priced Quoter is evaluated to have a Factor I rated as ‘Outstanding’ and a Past Performance Confidence

Assessment rating of ‘Substantial Confidence’, that Quoter represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that Quoter without further consideration of any other quotes. However, if the lowest priced Quoter is not evaluated to have a Factor I rated as ‘Outstanding’ and a Past

Performance Confidence Assessment rating of ‘Substantial Confidence’, the next-lowest priced Quoter will be evaluated. The evaluation process will continue (in order of price from lowest to highest) until a quote is evaluated to have a Factor I rated as ‘Outstanding’ and a Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of ‘Substantial

Confidence’. The Government shall then make an integrated best-value award decision between that quote rated with a Factor I rated as ‘Outstanding’ and a Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of ‘Substantial

Confidence’ and all lower priced awardable quotes.

If no quotes are evaluated with a Factor I rated as ‘Outstanding’ and a Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of ‘Substantial Confidence’, the Contracting Officer shall make an integrated assessment best-value award decision from among Quoters rated ‘Acceptable’ and “Neutral Confidence” or better.

Although price is not the most important evaluation factor, it has the potential to become more significant during the evaluation process. The degree of importance of price will increase with the degree of equality of the quotes in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based. The importance of price will also increase when a quoted price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the quote. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all Quoters are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, non-price quotes, price could become the factor in determining which Quoter shall receive the award.

The Government intends to award the contract without exchanges. Accordingly, each Quoter should submit its most favorable terms from a price and non-price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to establish a competitive range and conduct exchanges if later determined by the PCO to be necessary. All quotes will be reviewed for timeliness. If the quote is received after the closing date and does not meet the criteria for “late quotes” in the solicitation, the quote will not be opened. Timely quotes will be reviewed for compliance to the solicitation. If the quote is not compliant to the solicitation, it will not be evaluated and the Quoter will be notified that the quote is non-responsive.

Volume I: Non-Price Quote Evaluation Criteria

Factor I – Technical Approach

The purpose of the technical factor and sub-factors is to assess the quoter’s proposed approach to satisfy the

Government’s requirements. The evaluation of risk is related to the assessment of the quoter’s proposed 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 proposed 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 the technical factor and sub-factors.

The Technical Approach factor consists of Sub-factor I, Staffing Approach and Sub-factor II, Performance and

Management Approach. Sub-factors are weighted equally and will result in one Technical Approach rating detailed in the rating table identified as “Combined Technical/Risk Table 1”. Quoters simply providing general statements or paraphrasing/ parroting the PWS in whole or in any part may receive a rating of unacceptable.

Note: A rating of “Marginal” for any factor or sub-factor means that the quote is not awardable without a change or changes to the quote. A quote which includes a “Marginal” rating is not eligible for award if award is made on initial quotes and will not be further evaluated unless exchanges are in the best interest of the Government. Quoters that receive a “Marginal” rating is considered to be susceptible to correction if the Contracting Officer determines that an exchange is appropriate and said exchange is conducted.

Note: Quoters receiving a rating of “Unacceptable” for any factor or sub-factor will not be considered for an award and will not be further evaluated.

Sub-factor I – Staffing Approach:

The quoter’s overall staffing approach will be evaluated on its feasibility, comprehensiveness, and the degree to which the quoter demonstrates its ability to provide the required support services and hire and retain the appropriate mix of personnel resources with the skill set levels necessary as identified in the PWS.

Specifically, the quoter’s staffing approach will be evaluated on how well it clearly and effectively addresses the following:

• A detailed proposed methodology for recruitment of personnel meeting the position-dependent experience, certifications, and qualifications delineated in Section 4.3 of the PWS;

• Demonstrates an approach to ensure personnel qualifications remain current;

• Demonstrates an approach to personnel performance monitoring, skill maintenance, and skill improvement;

and a meaningful and proactive retention strategy. The quoter is encouraged to provide historical data to substantiate achievements in past recruiting efforts and sustained retention of employees/low employee turnover rates.

• The RFQ and PWS provides a Government estimated level of effort (LOE) for informational purposes only.

Quoters shall provide a labor mix that allows for a successful performance against the PWS.

Sub-factor II – Performance and Management Approach:

The quoter shall demonstrate an understanding of, familiarity with, and ability to perform the specific technical requirements and tasks in PWS Section 4.1, to establish to the government that the quoter is capable of fully providing these services at the level of quality required. The quoter’s approach shall provide a plan that clearly describes the management controls, techniques, and procedures that will be used to ensure required work is performed in a timely, responsive, professional, and efficient manner and clearly detail how this effort will be managed within the quoter’s corporate organizational structure.

Factor II - Past Performance:

The past performance evaluation factor assesses the degree of confidence the Government has in a quoter’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 quoter.

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 as 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 quoter’s Past

Performance submission will be evaluated to determine its scope 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 quoter’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.
