(b) For the purposes of paragraph (e) below, the Estimated Total Hours shall be the number of hours associated with the base ordering period as increased by the number of hours associated with any exercised option ordering periods.

(c) The Estimated Total Hours include overtime and subcontracting hours but exclude holidays, sick leave, vacation days and other absences.

(d) CPFF task orders resulting from this contract may be either term or completion type. The number of hours expended per month under each resulting term-type task order shall be commensurate with the pursuit of performance of the task order’s statement of work, provided that such fluctuation does not result in the utilization of the task order hours prior to the expiration of the task order. The number of hours for any labor category may be utilized by the contractor for any other labor category if necessary in performance of the contract.

(e) The contractor shall not be obligated to accept orders beyond the contract’s Estimated Total Hours, except that the Contracting Officer may place orders in excess of the Estimated Total Hours until the contract’s total estimated cost has been expended. In that the contract’s fixed fee is to be paid out at an hourly rate based on the contract’s Total Estimated Hours, the government will not be obligated to pay fee on any hours ordered in excess of the Estimated Total Hours. Any hours expended in excess of the Estimated Total Hours shall be excluded from all fee computations and adjustments. The Contracting Officer may also place orders in excess of the total estimated cost until the Estimated Total Hours have been expended. In no event, however, will the Contracting Officer, pursuant to this paragraph (e), place orders in excess of the Estimated Total hours if the Contracting Officer has placed orders in excess of the total estimated cost. Nor will the Contracting Officer, pursuant to this paragraph (e), place orders in excess of the total estimated cost if the Contracting Officer has placed orders in excess of the Estimated Total Hours. The Contracting Officer may extend the contract period in order to place orders up to the total estimated cost and the Estimated Total Hours.

(f) If at any time during this contract the contractor expends in excess of 85% of the available estimated manhours of direct labor (at the contract and task order levels), the contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing. Nothing herein shall be construed to alter or waive any of the rights or obligations of either party pursuant to the clause entitled “Limitation of Cost” and/or “Limitation of Funds.”

(g) For any resultant fixed-price task orders, the hours proposed shall be considered against the contract’s Estimated Total Hours.

(h) It is understood and agreed that for each CPFF task order issued under this contract, the number of hours and the total dollar amount for each labor category specified in the task order are estimates only and shall not limit the use of hours or dollar amounts in any labor category which may be required and provided for under an individual task order. Accordingly, in the performance of any CPFF task order, the contractor shall be allowed to adjust the quantity of labor hours provided for within labor categories specified in the order provided that in so performing the contractor shall not in any event exceed the ceiling price restrictions of any order, including modifications thereof.

PAYMENT OF FIXED FEE (CPFF SINGLE AWARD IDIQ) (SEP 2015)

The fixed fee for work performed under this contract is $__*__ provided that approximately __**__ hours of technical effort are employed by the contractor in performance of this contract. If substantially fewer than __**__ hours of technical effort are employed, the fixed fee shall be equitably reduced to reflect the reduction of work. The Government shall make monthly payments of the fixed fee at the rate of $__***__ per direct labor hour invoiced by the contractor. For the purposes of tracking the contract’s total fixed fee, the “fixed fee” associated with any fixed-price task order will be the product of the above rate(s) multiplied by the total hours proposed for the task order. All payments shall be in accordance with the provisions of FAR 52.216-8, “Fixed Fee,” and FAR 52.216-7, “Allowable Cost and Payment.” Payments shall be subject to the withholding provisions of Paragraph (b) of FAR 52.216-8, provided that the total of all such monthly payment shall not exceed eighty-five (85%) percent of the fixed fee. Any balance of fixed fee due the contractor shall be paid to the Contractor, and any over-payment of fixed fee shall be repaid to the Government by the Contractor, or otherwise credited to the Government at the time of final payment.

INDO-PACIFIC BIOSURVEILLANCE & EPIDEMIOLOGY RESEARCH

C.1 Background & Assumptions / Constraints

Contemporary pandemics and outbreaks of disease, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Ebola virus outbreak and Zika virus, serve as poignant reminders of our global vulnerability to emergent human health threats. Current global disease control focuses almost exclusively on responding to pandemics after they have emerged, highlighting our current inability to predict or prevent such events. Nevertheless, dramatic failures in pandemic control as highlighted by the threats to our forces both CONUS and OCONUS, have shown that this wait-and-respond approach is not sufficient. The development of systems to prevent pandemics before they are established is imperative to force health protection. The early detection of emergent threats to human health is even more important given the speed with which disease-causing agents are now capable of being distributed around the globe through air travel and global trade. Because the success of some pathogens depends on their abilities to spread from human-to-human or to utilize a vector to spread, their abilities to cross continents rapidly poses a unique challenge to emerging infectious disease control. In today’s world of global interconnectedness, a pathogen that may have remained a regional phenomenon in an era before globalization now has few barriers to rapid global distribution. Despite this, our current disease surveillance systems, and our ability to identify and respond to emergent diseases early are inadequate. Developing more robust surveillance programs to identify pathogens early and to respond to their emergence appropriately is crucial to a coherent strategy for combating future threats infectious disease threats to human health.

The U.S. Naval Medical Research Unit INDO PACIFIC (NAMRU INDO PACIFIC), based in Singapore, is at the forefront of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD)’s disease surveillance and product development efforts in the US Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) Area of Responsibility (AOR). Within the context of its ongoing research activities, NAMRU INDO PACIFIC is well-positioned to perform biosurveillance, evaluate novel diagnostics products and therapeutic interventions, test disease control strategies, and to develop local expertise (training to detect and respond to emergent disease threats). In consonance with its mission, NAMRU INDO PACIFIC requires contractor services to support the ongoing development, performance, and management of research across the Indo-Pacific region and in collaboration with host-country partners. Generally, the support required does not include staffing of existing laboratories and/or the development and staffing of new laboratories.

For task orders that are considered severable services, the task order shall be performance based and shall include a Performance Work Statement (PWS) that identifies the tasks to be performed and a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) and Performance Requirement Standards (PRS) that establishes performance metrics for these tasks. It is anticipated that most task orders that provide severable services will be Firm Fixed Price (FFP). Task orders may include “surge” CLIN(s) for optional task(s). The number of optional tasks, if any, will be determined at the task order level.

For task orders that are considered non-severable services, the task order will not be performance based and will not include a PWS, PRS or QASP. It is anticipated that most of the non-severable task orders will be incrementally funded Cost Plus Fixed-Fee (CPFF). A CPFF arrangement addresses research and development because of the unpredictability of the level of support.

This effort is not considered a new requirement (legacy contracts W911QY-16-D-0058 and N6264518D5058) and therefore the right of first refusal concerning incumbent employees with the successful offeror is relevant (please reference Section H and 52.222-17).

Human use research is expected under the task orders that will be issued under this base Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantitate (IDIQ) contract. Research with human subjects may not begin until the Contractor (and all subcontractors) obtains a Federal Wide Assurance (FWA) issued by the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS). Additionally, all research must be approved by an Institutional Review Board (IRB) named in the Assurance application before the research commences. A Human Research Protection Officer (HRPO) review must be in place before any human use research can be supported.

Travel is expected in support of the research efforts at NAMRU INDO PACIFIC. The number of Contractor personnel required shall be determined at the discretion of the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). All travel must be approved by the COR in writing via e-mail prior to incurring costs. Travel costs may include medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) and repatriation insurance. All travel shall be conducted in accordance with NAMRU INDO PACIFIC procedures and the DoD with Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) and US Department of State (DoS) regulations. An estimated travel amount shall be delineated at the task order level. The estimated travel amount (provided at the task order level) is an estimated amount and is before contractor burdens. Contractor burdens must be applied in accordance with the offeror’s accounting system and Forward Pricing Rate Agreement(s) (if applicable).

Other Direct Costs (ODC) are expected in support of the research efforts at NAMRU INDO PACIFIC. All ODC costs must be approved by the COR in writing via e-mail prior to incurring costs. ODCs shall be specified at the task order level but shall typically include (but are not limited to) contractor-procured supplies, equipment, disposable and non-disposable items, IT support, and equipment.

An estimated ODC amount shall be delineated at the task order level. The estimated ODC amount (provided at the task order level) is an estimated amount and is before contractor burdens. Contractor burdens must be applied in accordance with the offeror’s accounting system and Forward Pricing Rate Agreement(s) (if applicable).

Task orders issued under this base IDIQ contract require indemnification and medical liability insurance. The Federal Tort Claims act does not apply.

All services provided under this base IDIQ contract are non-personal in nature.

There are no known Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) within this effort.

Performance is primarily at Contractor or Sub-contractor sites in USA and in the Indo-Pacific region. The specific place of performance shall be specified at the task order level.

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

THE FOLLOWING NAVSUP LOCAL TEXT IS HEREBY MADE PART OF THE STATEMENT OF

WORK/PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT.

NAVSUP Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk Philadephia may utilize contractor support through the AbilityOne Program, as needed, to perform contract closeout functions for this acquisition. Information, including business sensitive/confidential or proprietary data, that the offeror provides to the Government or information already in the possession of the Government may be viewed and utilized by the AbilityOne Program support contractor personnel during the course of its contract performance. The information that may be made available to the support contractor may include, for example, pricing and technical proposals, historical contract, pricing and performance information, Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) reporting information and similar data/information.

By submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation, the offeror and its subcontractors consent to a release of their business sensitive/confidential or proprietary data to the Government's AbilityOne Program support contractor personnel in order to perform close out services. Prior to the release of any such information to the support contractor, the support contractor will have in place with the Government a Non-Disclosure/Non-Use Agreement in accordance with the terms of the AbilityOne Program support contract.

Offerors may execute their own Non-Disclosure Agreement with the AbilityOne Program (AbilityOne contact information available from the contracting point of contact). The support contractor must provide copies of the executed agreements to the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) for the support contract; and the offeror/contractor for this acquisition must provide copies of the executed Agreement to the Contracting Officer for this acquisition. If the offeror/contractor seeks such a Non-Disclosure Agreement with the AbilityOne Program support contractor, the Agreement must be executed no later than the date of final delivery under the resulting NAVSUP Fleet Logistic Center Norfolk Philadelphia contract.

SUPTXT204-9400(4-22) CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED

FACILITIES, SENSITIVE INFORMATION, INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED

HEALTH INFORMATION

The following shall be inserted in full text in all solicitations and contracts (including commercial acquisitions) which require contractor unclassified access to federally controlled facilities, sensitive information, Information Technology (IT) systems or protected health information. For commercial acquisitions, this text shall be incorporated into either the SOW or PWS.

The security text does not apply in cases where the contractor/vendor does not have access to Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) computers, is not issued a Common Access Card (CAC) and is involved in training or other short term duties of less than 30 days duration that allow for the use of a visitor request. In these cases, the government employee must submit a Visitor Access Request (VAR) to the main gate or applicable processing entity for your facility and assume responsibility to escort those without CAC Credentials.

This local text does not apply to non-United States (U.S.) Nationals (foreign nationals) who are contactor employees performing work overseas. The local text is applicable to the U.S. Nationals living in the U.S. or overseas who are performing work on a Navy contract.

The investigation of a non-U.S. national at a foreign location must be consistent with a National Agency Check with Written Inquiries (NACI), to the extent possible and include a fingerprint check against the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) criminal history database, an FBI investigations file (name check) search and a name check against the terrorist screening database. Also, the above cited reference notes that Foreign Nationals may not be granted CAC credentials until completion of their investigation and not in the interim.

Per Department of Defense Memorandum (DoDM) 5200.2, Department of Defense (DoD) components must initiate and ensure completion of a background investigation before applying the credentialing standards to a non-U.S.

national at a foreign location. The background investigation must be favorably adjudicated before a CAC can be issued to a non-U.S. national at a foreign location. The type of background investigation may vary based on standing reciprocity treaties concerning identity assurance and information exchanges that exist between the U.S. and its allies or agency agreements with the host country.

CONTRACTOR UNCLASSIFIED ACCESS TO FEDERALLY CONTROLLED FACILITIES, SENSITIVE

INFORMATION, IT SYSTEMS OR PROTECTED HEALTH INFORMATION

Executive Order 13467, Reforming Processes Related to Suitability for Government Employee, Fitness for Contractor Employees and Eligibility for Access to Classified National Security Information, Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12, requires government agencies to develop and implement Federal security standards for Federal employees and contractors. The 5 CFR 32 Part 157 in concert with DoD Manual 1000.13, Vol 1, implements the Federal Standards.

APPLICABILITY

This text applies to all DoD sponsored individuals who require CAC eligibility (or login and P/W if acceptable per contract) for: Physical access to DoD facilities or non-DoD facilities on behalf of DoD; Logical access to information systems (whether on site or remotely); or remote access to DoD networks that use only the CAC logon for user authentication, or access to sensitive and protected information. This applies to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD), the Military Departments, the Office of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Joint Staff, the Combatant Commands, the Office of the Inspector General of the DoD, the Defense Agencies, the DoD Field Activities and all other organizational entities within the DoD (hereinafter referred to collectively as the "DoD Components").

Each contractor employee providing services at a Navy command under this contract is required to obtain a DoD CAC. Additionally, depending on the level of computer/network access, the contract employee will require a successful investigation as detailed below.

ACCESS TO FEDERAL FACILITIES

Per HSPD-12 and implementing guidance, all contractor employees working at a federally controlled base, facility or activity under this clause will require a DoD CAC. When access to a base, facility or activity is required contractor employees shall in-process with the Command's Security Manager (CSM) upon arrival to the command and shall out-process prior to their departure at the completion of the individual's performance under the contract.

START-UP PERIOD

All contractor resource onboarding documents must be submitted via the prime contractor. The prime contractor shall make all necessary preparations to assume full responsibility for productive performance as of the performance start date.

Definition of "productive":

a. Visit Authorization Request (VAR)

b. Contractor Information Sheet (CIS)

c. FD-258 Fingerprint Card

d. Completed Electronic Investigation (EQIP)

e. All contractor resource(s) must have an active Joint Personnel Adjudication System (JPAS) profile

f. Common Access Card(CAC)

Note (1): Invoicing by the contractor will begin as of the commencement of the performance period of services and no reimbursement will be paid by the government for efforts expended during the start-up period.

Note (2): Foreign Nationals are not allowed access to the functional/system side of Enterprise Resource Planning

(ERP).

ACCESS TO DOD INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT) SYSTEM

In Accordance With (IAW) Secretary of the Navy (SECNAV) M-5510.30, contractor employees who require access to Department of the Navy (DoN) or DoD networks are categorized as IT-I, IT-II, or IT-III. The IT-II level, defined in detail in SECNAV M-5510.30, includes positions which require access to sensitive information. Sensitive information includes information protected under the Privacy Act, to include PHI. All contractor employees under this contract who require access to Privacy Act protected information are therefore categorized no lower than IT- II. IT Levels are determined by the requiring activity's Command Information System Security Manager (ISSM)/Information Assurance Manager (IAM).

Contractor employees requiring privileged or IT-I level access, (when specified by the terms of the contract) require a Single Scope Background Investigation (SSBI) or T5 or T5R equivalent investigation, which is a higher level investigation than the National Agency Check (NAC) with Law and Credit (NACLC)/T3/T3R described below. Due to the privileged system access, an investigation suitable for High Risk national security positions is required.

Individuals who have access to system control, monitoring, or administration functions (e.g. system administrator, database administrator) require training and certification to Information Assurance (IA) Technical Level 1, and must be trained and certified on the Operating System (OS) or Computing Environment (CE) they are required to maintain.

Access to sensitive IT systems is contingent upon a favorably adjudicated background investigation. When access to IT systems is required for performance of the contractor employee's duties, such employees shall in-process with the

Navy CSM and ISSM/IAM manager upon arrival to the Navy command and shall out-process prior to their departure at…
