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.

***Sub-Factor II is submission is limited to 10 pages***

Factor III: Past Performance

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror 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. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts to the requirements of the solicitation. Offerors shall also cite the task sections/subsections of the PWS to which the past performance is relevant for each of the three (3) contracts.

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. Offerors shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference. Offerors 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 offeror 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. One (1) year of completed performance is defined as twelve (12) consecutive months of performance completed by the closing date of the solicitation. References with less than twelve (12) completed, consecutive months of service by the closing date of the solicitation will not be considered.

The offeror’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 offeror 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 offerors 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 FAR 52.212-1 Addendum (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 offeror 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, offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Past Performance Report Form attached to the solicitation and email the completed survey form directly to William Spencer at William.p.spencer.civ@us.navy.mil, Kristen Dunlow at kristen.m.dunlow.civ@us.navy.mil, and Benjamin Fisher at Benjamin.d.fisher8.civ@us.navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION.

If pricing is not provided as such, the Government will round to the second decimal. The price proposal shall include all supporting data to clearly show how the fully-burdened labor prices were developed. This information shall include a breakdown of the labor categories, labor hours, and labor rates anticipated and should be submitted within Attachment I, Pricing Spreadsheet.

c. Unless completed in the System for Award Management, the offeror shall complete the solicitation’s representations, certifications and other statements of offerors.

d. Travel costs are anticipated; therefore, the Government has included travel amounts for the period of performance. All offerors are to include the "Not to Exceed" travel amounts provided in the chart below for the identified travel CLIN.

Period of Performance Travel

Base Ordering Period 8/3/2025 – 8/2/2030 $1,004,210.71

FAR 52.217-8 8/3/2030 – 2/2/2031 $106,247.19

TOTAL $1,110,457.90

The above values shall be entered in travel CLINs of the price submittal, in addition to any applicable General and Administrative (G&A) and/or Overhead (OH) rate applicable, in accordance with FAR Part 31, in their accounting system. Only G&A and/or OH indirect costs are allowable if an offeror’s accounting system automatically applies it, no profit or fee is allowed. Offerors G&A and/or OH shall be added to the provided travel amounts for a total cost associated with travel. If G&A and/or OH is not provided with the travel amounts within the vendor’s offer, it will be determined that the offeror does not intend on applying any applicable indirect cost to provided ODCs.

All price and price supporting information shall be contained in the price submittal. No price or pricing information shall be included in any other submittal including cover letters. Offerors are responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate their price submittal.

Volume III – Small Business Subcontracting Plan:

Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Other than Small Businesses ONLY; Not an Evaluation Factor)

Large business offerors SHALL also submit a Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 19.704, Subcontracting Plan Requirements. Offerors are permitted to submit a master subcontracting plan so long as it is created in accordance with FAR 19.701 and FAR 19.704(b). Subcontracting Plans are not required from small business offerors.

It is the goal of this solicitation that prime contractors subcontract with small businesses to the maximum extent practicable. For other-than-small (large) prime contractors, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan goals shall be expressed in terms of whole dollars and percentages based on total planned subcontracting dollars. Of the total planned subcontracting dollars, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall include goals for Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Woman-Owned Small Businesses, HubZone Small Businesses, Veteran Owned Small Businesses and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The Government will consider prior achievement of small business subcontracting plan goals as well as the proposed dollar values and percentages related to this solicitation. Small businesses are not required to submit a subcontracting plan, but are required to submit a small business participation plan as described in FAR 52.212-1 Addendum above.

The completion and submission of the above items will constitute an offer (proposal) and will indicate the offeror’s unconditional assent to the terms and conditions of this RFP and any attachments hereto. Alternate proposals are not authorized. Alternate proposals are not authorized. Objections to any terms and conditions of the RFP will constitute a deficiency (see FAR 15.001), which may make the offer unacceptable. An offeror may correct a deficiency only through discussions (see FAR 15.306(d) and 15.307).

FAR 52.212-2 – Evaluation of Offers

The Government intends to award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract based on initial proposals.

Accordingly, the offeror should submit its most favorable terms from a technical approach, past performance, small business participation plan, and price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to award a contract to other than the lowest priced offeror; award a contract without discussions; or award a contract after discussions, whichever is in the best interest of the Government.

All proposals will be reviewed for timeliness. Timely proposals will be reviewed for compliance to the solicitation. If the proposal is untimely or not compliant to the solicitation, it will not be evaluated and the offeror will be notified that the proposal is non-responsive. Offerors simply providing general statements or paraphrasing/parroting the PWS in whole or in any part may result in a rating of unacceptable.

The evaluation of proposals will consider the Non-Price Proposal to be significantly more important than the Price Proposal. Within the Non-Price Proposal offerors must receive an Acceptable rating for Factor I to be further considered. Factors II, III, and IV are in descending order of importance. Within Factor II, the two (2) sub-factors are weighted equally.

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 proposals in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based. The importance of price will also increase when a proposal's price is so significantly high as to diminish the value to the Government that might be gained under the other aspects of the proposal. If, at any stage of the evaluation, all Offerors are determined to have submitted equal, or virtually equal, non-price proposals, price could become the factor in determining which Offerors shall receive the award.

Volume I: Non-Price Proposal Evaluation Criteria

Phase I

Factor I – Facility Clearance:

Factor I will be evaluated during Phase I and will receive a rating of Acceptable/Unacceptable based on its submission of the verification of its Top Secret Facilities Clearance Level meeting the requirements as detailed in FAR 52.212-1. This will be evaluated during Phase I on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis utilizing the “Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable” rating Table below. Offerors receiving an ‘Acceptable’ rating in Phase I will move on to Phase II. Offerors receiving an ‘Unacceptable’ rating will be considered un-awardable and will not be further evaluated.

Phase II

Factor II – Technical Approach:

The purpose of the technical factor and sub-factors is to assess the vendor’s proposed approach to satisfy the Government’s requirements. The evaluation of risk is related to the assessment of the vendor’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 vendor’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.

Sub-Factor I: Performance and Management Approach

The offeror’s overall performance and management approach will be evaluated on its feasibility, its comprehensiveness, and the degree to which the offeror…
