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.

For Factor II – Technical Approach, the rating table identified below entitled “Combined Technical/Risk Ratings” will be utilized.

Factor III: Past Performance

The offeror shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is experience within the past five (5) years that is the same as or similar to the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation. 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.

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 (FSS). Offerors shall not submit the ID/IQ contract, BPA, or FSS 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.

If a proposed subcontractor’s past performance is provided as part of the three (3) 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 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.

The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow vendors who may not have the entire scope and magnitude of the requirement under one individual contract to still be evaluated for quality if past performance with the full scope and magnitude of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

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

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 attached Past Performance Report Form attached to this solicitation and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Amy Barnes and Jacob Gephart at amy.m.barnes14.civ@us.navy.mil and jacob.n.gephart.civ@us.navy.mil (respectively) 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.

For Factor III - Past Performance, the ratings tables identified below entitled “Past Performance Confidence

Assessment Ratings” and “Past Performance Relevancy Ratings” will be utilized.

Volume II: Price Proposal

Factor IV: Price

The price proposal shall include all elements of price and other price information considered appropriate to support the offeror’s proposal. No price information shall be submitted in any other section of the proposal. Price proposals shall be held firm for 180 days. The price information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

SF1449 Section “Schedule of Supplies/Services” completed by the offeror.

Separate pricing information shall be submitted for each year of the services as well as a total for all five

(5) years of the base ordering period and six (6) months option ordering period (in accordance with FAR

A complete and signed Standard Form 1449, “Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items” and executed copy of Amendments, if applicable.

Attachment I –Pricing Spreadsheet completed by the offeror (see below for additional instructions).

o Attachment I provides a template for offerors to use in the preparation of their price proposal. The intent is not to restrict the offerors in the manner in which they develop their pricing information but rather to ensure a certain degree of uniformity in the format of the responses for evaluation purposes. NOTE: Completing Attachment I does not alleviate offerors from providing any additional information required by the RFP. It is the responsibility of the offeror to ensure all formulas are accurate and correct. Offerors shall ensure the required information is provided for each year/period within the base ordering period and option ordering period.

o The Firm-Fixed Price rates submitted in this Attachment will be incorporated as firm-fixed price unit prices into the resultant contract.

Unless completed in SAM, “Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors” completed by the offeror (to be provided in Volume II along with Price Proposal) o Offerors shall complete FAR 52.204-25, FAR 52.209-7, and FAR 52.209-11.

All price and price supporting information shall be contained in the Price proposal. No price or pricing information shall be included in any other volume including an executive summary or cover letters.

Offerors are responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate their price proposal.

Offerors shall insert the Government estimated travel plug numbers provided below in their proposed price 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.

NOTE: If no G&A and/or OH are proposed, it will be determined that the offeror does not intend to apply any allowable indirect cost to travel, which will be upheld during contract administration.

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. Objections to any of the terms and conditions of the RFP will constitute a deficiency, which will make the offer unacceptable.

FAR 52.212-2 – Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services

The Government intends to award a single FFP IDIQ contract as a result of this solicitation in accordance FAR Part

12 and FAR Part 15. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government under the selection criteria set forth in this solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a non-price and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Offerors 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 contract to other than the offeror with the lowest price proposal or to other than the offeror with the highest technically rated non-price proposal.

All proposals will be reviewed for timeliness. If the proposal is received after the solicitation closing date and does not meet the criteria for “late proposals” in the solicitation, the proposal will not be evaluated. Timely proposals will be reviewed for compliance to the solicitation. If the proposal is not compliant to the solicitation, it will not be evaluated and the offeror will be notified that the proposal is non-responsive and, therefore, will not be considered for award.

Initially, proposals will be ranked according to price (lowest to highest), inclusive of all option pricing. An offeror’s proposed pricing will be determined by adding all extended amounts for the CLINs in RFP Section B.

If the lowest priced offeror is evaluated to have Factor I rated as “Acceptable,” Factor II rated as “Outstanding,”

AND Factor III rated as “Substantial Confidence,” that offeror represents the best value for the Government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other proposals. However, if the lowest priced offeror is not evaluated to have Factor I rated as “Acceptable,” Factor II rated as “Outstanding,” AND Factor III rated as “Substantial Confidence,” the next-lowest priced offeror will be evaluated. The evaluation process will continue (in order of price from lowest to highest) until a proposal is evaluated to have Factor I rated as “Acceptable,” Factor II rated as “Outstanding,” AND Factor III rated as

“Substantial Confidence.” The Government will then make an integrated best value award decision, where non-price is considered to be significantly more important than price, between that proposal rated with Factor I rated as

“Acceptable,” Factor II rated as “Outstanding,” AND Factor II rated as “Substantial Confidence” and all lower priced proposals.

If no proposals are evaluated with Factor I rated as “Acceptable,” Factor II rated as “Outstanding,” AND Factor III rated as “Substantial Confidence,” the Contracting Officer shall make an integrated best value award decision, where non-price is considered to be significantly more important than price, from among the offerors rated with at least “Acceptable” for Factors I and II, and “Neutral Confidence” or better for Factor III.

In the event the Government makes an integrated best value award decision (i.e., if the lowest priced offeror does not receive the highest possible ratings in all non-price factors as described above), it will be made pursuant to a best value with tradeoffs source selection process, where the non-price proposal is considered significantly more important than price. Within the non-price proposal, Factor I – Facility Security Clearance will be evaluated on an

Acceptable/Unacceptable basis, and Factor II – Technical Approach is considered more important than Factor III –

Past Performance. Although price is not the most important evaluation factor if a tradeoff source selection process is used, 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 Offeror shall receive the award.

Volume I: Non-Price Proposal Evaluation Criteria

Factor I: Facility Security Clearance

Factor I will receive a rating of “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” based on content of the submission of verification of its Top Secret Facilities Clearance level meeting the requirements as detailed in Addendum to FAR 52.212-1.

This will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis utilizing the “Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable

Ratings” table below. Offerors receiving an Unacceptable rating will be considered unawardable and will not be further evaluated.

Factor II: Technical Approach

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

Government’s requirements.
