SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The following have been modified:

POINTS OF CONTACT

CONTRACT SPECIALIST: Ken Turing

TELEPHONE NUMBER: 301-995-4213

EMAIL ADDRESS: kenneth.turing@navy.mil

CONTRACTING OFFICER: Candice Byrd

TELEPHONE NUMBER: 301-342-2581

EMAIL ADDRESS: candice.byrd@navy.mil

PCO: John Tomechko

TELEPHONE NUMBER: 301-737-7032

EMAIL ADDRESS: john.tomechko@navy.mil

CONTRACTING OFFICER REPRESENTATIVE: TO BE DETERMINED AT CONTRACT AWARD

(1) This acquisition is a full and open competition that will result in placement of a single award Indefinite

Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract.

(2) The Product/Service Code (PSC) for this procurement is D318. The NAICS Code for this service procurement is

541512.

(3) The resulting ID/IQ contract will have a five year ordering period.

(4) This contract has Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) and Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) line items for Labor and cost reimbursement line items for Travel and Material/ODC.

(5) The contractor will be required to have a TOP SECRET Facility clearance. IAW the National Industrial Security

Program Operating Manual (NISPOM) and the NAWCAD Contract Security Specification DD Form 254 Manual, Block 1.a FACILITY CLEARANCE REQUIRED indicates “the highest level of classified information the contractor will be required to access in order to perform this work.” Further, “A Contractor is required to have a

Facility Security Clearance (FCL) when one or more of its employees require a security clearance in performance of the contract and therefore access to classified information or materials. The FCL is an administrative determination that, from a national security standpoint, a facility is eligible for access to classified information at the same or lower classification category as the clearance being granted.” Therefore, since two positions (the Program Manager and the

Systems Engineer) require Top Secret clearances in performance of this contract, a Top Secret FCL is required.

Additionally, DD Form 254 block 1.b LEVEL OF SAFEGUARDING REQUIRED indicates the “level of classified material/information that the contractor will need to store at their facility.” The DD Form 254 for this solicitation states “NONE” in block 1.b and therefore, there is no requirement to safeguarded classified information at the contractor’s facility. Security clearance requirements for personnel are identified in the Performance-Based

Statement of Work (Section C), paragraph 5.5.

(6) Specifics associated with each requirement, including Period of Performance and CDRLs, will be established at the Task Order Level.

(7) For any task orders issued under the contract using NAVAIR clause 5252.216-9540 “Issuance of Orders using

Streamlined Procedures”, the rates in the Offeror’s submitted Cost Summary Spreadsheet (Attachment (P4) will be used to calculate the Independent Government Cost Estimate from which the value of the task order will be based.

RMAC Program Office with minimal impact, not only in terms of timeliness of performance but also to ensure that critical data and knowledge transfer occurs.

3.12 Security Requirements: The majority of the effort on this contract is unclassified.

However, most labor categories will have an occasional need for clearance at the Secret level as noted in paragraph 5.5 Labor Qualifications. On rare occasions, there are some efforts on this contract that may require the contractor Program Manager and/or the Senior Systems Engineer to participate in Top Secret level meetings/briefings that affect the execution of work under this contract so a Top Secret security clearance is required for those positions. The purpose of these briefings is to inform the contractor of details associated with system development and/or operational effort.
