SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COST

B.1 OVERVIEW

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM), through its Office of Procurement Operations (OPO) on behalf of the Federal Investigative Service (FIS), contracts here, in the broadest terms, for contractor provided investigative support services considered necessary to deliver, in part, the FIS mission. The following sections of this contract, as supplemented by attachments thereto, cover in significant detail the contemplated services required of the contractor. The Ccontractor is responsible, unless otherwise provided for by contract, for all labor, materials, equipment, and supervision necessary to deliver the work successfully. Contractor provided investigative support services include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following general tasks: 1) switchboard operations and telephone liaison support for OPM’s customer agencies, 2) screening and scheduling of investigations and investigative materials,

3) case file maintenance, 4) imaging and microfilm, and 5) post-closing support.

B.2 MINIMUM/MAXIMUM ORDER LIMITATIONS

The Government intends to award, as a result of this solicitation, a single Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity Contract against which task orders shall be placed during the period of performance. Reference is hereby made to FAR 16.504 and FAR 52.216-22. A “task-order contract” means, in this application, a Ccontract for non-personal services that does not procure or specify a firm quantity of services (other than a minimum or maximum quantity) and that provides for the issuance of orders for the performance of tasks during the period of the contract. The Government anticipates issuing fixed-price task orders, using the fixed unit-priced (FUP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) identified in Section B.6 and estimated quantities, with ceiling prices which shall be adjusted using the actual number of completed CLINs during a given period of performance.

At time of contract award the Government shall simultaneously execute the first task order. Said task order shall satisfy the guaranteed minimum requirement for this contract.

In accordance with FAR 16.504 (a) quantity limits may be stated as number of units or as dollar values. The contract must require the Government to order and the contractor to furnish at least a stated minimum quantity of services. For this contract, the minimum quantity of investigative support services to be ordered by the Government are those fixed-price units associated with performance for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2017. Said minimum quantity is estimated to be 550,000 units. Units may be distributed across the different FUP CLINs as determined by the Government during performance. Adjustments for actual units completed by the contractor during a given period of performance shall be made by the Government. In addition, if ordered, the contractor must furnish any additional quantities, not to exceed the stated maximum. The stated maximum for this contract is 12,200,000 units which may be distributed across any combination of FUP CLINs up to and including the last date to order.

B.3 FISCAL YEAR ESTIMATES.

OPM-Federal Investigative Services (FIS) will provide the Contractor with an estimate of work for each CLIN for the upcoming fiscal year (FY). Said estimates are provided for the Ccontractor’s reference only. Throughout a given FY the Government will provide updates to these estimates.

B.4 PHASE IN PERIOD

The first six months of this Ccontract are considered a phase in period commencing with the Notice to Proceed (NTP). NTP is hereby defined as authorization issued by the Government for the Ccontractor to proceed with the work. It may be issued at the same time as the first task order or at some later date after which the Contractor has satisfied any and all Ccontract pre-requisite submissions. The Contractor will be assigned work immediately following the NTP and the issuance of a task order.

Timeliness Performance Standards will be measured, monitored, and reported during the phase in period, but evaluations for Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) will only be measured between the expiration of the phase in period and the end of the first contract period, and the subsequent option periods. Any timeliness disincentives (F.3.3.1) will be waived during the phase in period. Any quality and program management disincentives (F.3.3.2, F.3.3.3) will be enforced during the phase in period.

The transition period is from date of award of award to September 30, 2016. The transition period may vary depending on results of the competition. Some transition activites will be in process for approximately 60 days after the official transition period ends, such as formal access requests.

B.5 TRAVEL COSTS

Contractors should incorporate all appropriate costs, including any anticipated travel costs, into their fixed unit prices. However, on very limited occasions, OPM may reimburse the Contractor for travel costs outside those incorporated into their firm fixed CLIN prices, but only if the travel in question could not have been reasonably anticipated as part of the Ccontractors expected expenses for completing required contract deliverables. Any such travel and the amount of any travel reimbursement must be approved in advance by OPM. The Contractor personnel will be reimbursed for his/her time (per the appropriate CLIN), travel, and expenses in accordance with the Joint Federal Travel Regulations and Federal regulations governing compensation of witnesses. If a customer agency requires that Contractor personnel appear on their behalf, OPM will coordinate the request with the Contractor.

B.6 CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBER (CLIN)

The Contractor will perform all services as specified in the Statement of Work (SOW), attachments, and references to this Contract. Fixed unit prices are listed below.

SECTION C – DESCRIPTIONS / SPECIFICATIONS / SOW

C.1 SCOPE OF WORK

C.1.1 The Contractor will provide support services directly related to federal background investigation processing. The requirements listed herein and the associated pricing contained in the pricing tables include all submission forms (case papers) approved for use in the federal background investigations program.

C.1.1.1 Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor will provide services directly related to the background investigation process as outlined in C.10 [Support Services Requirements]. The Contractor is required to provide these Support Services as outlined, ensuring the quality of all products provided to OPM and its customers.

C.1.1.2 Workloads for each of the CLINs listed in Section B.6 are directly related to the volume of cases received and processed within FIS, as estimated in Section L.5.

C.1.1.3 The Contractor will provide work related to this cContract in Boyers, PA and other

OPM approved facilities. The Contractor will not remove Personally Identifiable Information (PII) or case material from OPM approved facilities without OPM approval. Such approved removal of information, material, and equipment will meet OPM-FIS Security Manual and OPM-FIS Policy on the Protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII) requirements.

C.1.2 The Contractor will utilize only OPM’s Processing Systems, referred to as Investigative

Enterprise Systems (IES), or any future OPM system that is directly associated with the investigative process. The IES application enables electronic ingestions of the personnel security questionnaire and subsequent scheduling, tracking, reporting, closing of investigations, processing accountability, and timeliness information. The IES contains data provided by the requesting agency, subject-provided background information, investigative results data, agency adjudication data, and other relevant case data. OPM is moving toward a completely electronic case file and more background investigations are received electronically, which reduces the need for data entry on the front end of the investigative process, as well as filing investigative material. The Contractor will immediately operate and accurately input data into the IES automated tracking system, and other approved OPM systems, to monitor the investigations being conducted at any given time. OPM anticipates that changes in technology will affect the manner in which work is performed at any time during the life of the Contract. These changes will not affect an increase in cost of this Ccontract.

C.1.2.1 If the Contractor uses their system to house any OPM related information or intends to connect to the OPM systems, they will be required to go through a formal information security Assessment and Authorization (A&A) process within Attachment 4 [OPM Specific Contract Clauses].

C.1.3 Federal Investigation Processing Center (FIPC) and Standard Forms - Forms are updated routinely. These updates in and of themselves do not constitute a change in cContract requirements. Form updates will only be considered for a change in the level of effort required by the Contractor in processing. FIPC forms utilized by the Contractor will be stored by OPM in a manner of OPM’s discretion.

C.1.4 OPM reserves the right to perform the work outlined in this Contract when it is in the best interest of the Government.

C.1.5 Document Control Log - The Contractor will account for all hardcopy piecework items and

OPM material once it has been received by the Contractor. The Contractor will also account for any electronic OPM material that is printed for their personnel’s use. The Contractor will furnish periodic status reports, in accordance with C.9.5 [Adhoc Deliverables]. The Contractor will follow the approved plan for Quality Control. All hardcopy and electronic copies of OPM material need to be safeguarded. The Contractor will follow the OPM-FIS Security Manual and OPM-FIS Policy on the Protection of PII.

The Contractor will immediately notify the Contracting Officer (CO) and Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) of any case, portion of a case, OPM material, or OPM issued equipment, that is lost and/or compromised. The Contractor will take immediate action to retrieve the lost material and/or equipment, and will be financially responsible for the loss/compromise of the material and equipment, damages, and the cost of the investigation.

C.1.6 The Contractor will be responsible for the handoff and tracking of all material to OPM and other OPM Contractors. If OPM is unable to locate material, the Contractor will provide the tracking of this material, and search as necessary to recover said material, in accordance with C.9.5 [Adhoc Deliverables].

C.1.7 The Contractor is required to maintain strict security measures in all its operations and provide secure storage for investigative materials when investigative material leaves the OPM-FIS facilityies. This will be in accordance with the OPM-FIS Security Manual and the OPM-FIS Policy on the Protection of PII. The Contractor will consider investigative material as sensitive, unclassified material subject to the Privacy Act of 1974 if it is not marked classified, and it will be handled accordingly. The Contractor and its employees will comply with all applicable provisions of the OPM-FIS Security Manual.

C.1.8 All information and deliverables provided by the Contractor to the Government will be accurate and complete.

C.2 OVERSIGHT OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

C.2.1 Contractor personnel will receive their daily supervision/oversight from their own Contractor-assigned staff. Technical direction will be given by the COR, as outlined in Section G.2 [Contracting Officer’s Representative].

C.2.2 The Contractor’s integrity is the paramount requirement monitored by OPM. Integrity issues include: Employee falsification/gross negligence; Employee misconduct; Computer security violations; Facility security violations; PII Loss; Mishandling/loss of Government materials and information; and Mishandling/loss of data that violates and degrades the integrity of the Government data systems.

C.2.3 Rework - If the Contractor discovers allegations, suspects falsification, or any conduct that could impact the integrity of the OPM program, the Contractor will notify OPM within 24 hours of discovery or no later than the close of business the following business day. OPM will determine whether the Contractor or Federal investigative staff will conduct the initial investigation into the allegations of falsification. OPM will determine the appropriate course of action and level of rework needed; the amount of required rework and whether such work will be conducted directly by OPM or by the Contractor will be at OPM’s discretion. All such case rework will be completed at the Contractor’s expense and will be subject to further audit by OPM. The Contractor will reimburse the Government for any rework completed by Federal staff.

C.2.4 OPM’s Right to Suspend or Remove Personnel from the Contract - Because As this

Contract is essential to the National Security of the United States, all persons performing work under this Contract are held to the highest ethical standards. The Contractor will exhibit high ethical and professional standards as set forth in pertinent OPM guidance in the performance of all work under this Contract. At OPM’s discretion, any Contractor personnel may be immediately suspended or terminated from this Contract for any cause deemed detrimental by OPM. OPM may, for any reason, immediately suspend or revoke the Contractor or Contractor facility access authorization, security clearance, and/or general access to perform work under this Contract. If so directed, the Contractor will immediately discontinue the employee’s access to files supporting this Contract.

C.2.5 OPM Integrity Validations - Oversight of investigative personnel may be conducted by

OPM through various methods. In accordance with C.2.7 [Resolution of Complaints and Integrity Concerns], OPM may request the Contractor to assist in the resolution of any complaints made against the Contractor’s personnel, or with concerns that arise with the integrity of personnel and/or products.

C.2.6 Reporting of Complaints or Integrity Concerns - In accordance with C.9.4.4 [Reporting of

Complaints or Integrity Concerns], the Contractor will report to OPM any unfavorable information received on its personnel pertaining to work conducted under this Contract, including, but not limited to, information which does not reflect well on the personnel conducting an interview or record search; information that produces derogatory or issue information regarding the investigative subject that was not included in the original reported information; or information which indicates a discrepancy with the original reported information. All such complaints or integrity concerns will be handled in accordance with C.2.7 [Resolution of Complaints and Integrity Concerns].

C.2.7 Resolution of Complaints and Integrity Concerns - The resolution of all complaints and integrity concerns will be completed at the Contractor’s expense. OPM-FIS-Integrity Assurance (IA) will conduct the initial analysis into complaints concerning Contractor personnel and all integrity concerns. Such analysis will include the identification of cases possibly affected by the complaint or integrity concern, and a determination of whether the Contractor will be responsible for conducting any work associated with researching and/or resolving the complaint or integrity concern. OPM reserves the right to research and/or resolve the complaint itself at the Contractor’s expense. Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by OPM, the Contractor will have 30 calendar days to complete any work assigned to it by OPM-FIS-IA under this C.2.7 [Resolution of Complaints and Integrity Concerns].

There may be instances where rework is required on an expedited basis, and OPM and the Contractor will negotiate a mutually acceptable deadline for completion of that rework.

OPM reserves the right, at any time, to conduct all, or any part of, the work itself and charge the Contractor for all costs associated with completion thereof.

C.2.8 Alleged or Suspected Falsification - If falsified casework is alleged or suspected at any time, the Contractor will notify OPM in accordance with C.9.4.5 [Falsification Allegations] of this Contract. OPM will determine whether the Contractor or Federal investigative staff will conduct the initial investigation into falsification allegations. If the Contractor is charged with completing the initial investigation into a falsification allegation, the investigation will be completed and the results submitted to OPM-FIS-IA within eight (8) calendar days. Depending on those results, OPM will determine the appropriate course of action and level of rework needed for case(s) previously worked by individual(s) who are suspected as having falsified casework. OPM reserves the right to conduct all, or any part of, the rework itself at the Contractor’s expense. If rework is completed by the Contractor, the rework (including the review thereof by OPM) is completed at the expense of the Contractor and is subject to further audit by OPM. OPM will establish a timeframe for expected completion of rework assigned to the Contractor on a case by case basis, based on the size and scope of each individual falsification investigation. OPM reserves the right, at any time, to conduct all, or any part of, the work itself and charge the Contractor for all costs associated with completion thereof. OPM will be reimbursed for these expenses by the Contractor either through the offset of a future Contract payment or in the form of a check. When an offset occurs, OPM will subtract the difference between a future payment and the debt owed back to OPM. The Contractor will be notified of the preferred method of recovery by the CO or the COR.

C.2.9 Prosecution of Falsification Cases - OPM may refer cases of confirmed falsification for

Federal prosecution for which the Contractor will bear financial responsibility.

C.2.10 The Contractor is not accountable for cases worked by another Contractor regarding integrity issues. The Contractor will not be held responsible for cases that were not assigned to the Contractor. However, OPM-IA may require that the Contractor address substantiated integrity concerns stemming from work completed for another Contractor to ensure that patterns and/or behaviors do not continue.

If OPM determines that there is an integrity concern involving a shared resource or former Contractor, the Contactor may be required to conduct follow-up as deemed necessary by OPM-IA on cases assigned by the Contractor to that individual as deemed necessary including, but not limited to, case sampling at the expense of the Contractor.

No exception can be made regarding the Contractor’s responsibility for follow-up on integrity issues.

C.2.11 Compliance with OPM-FIS Governing Documents - Contractor and all Contractor personnel will comply with the current OPM-FIS Security Manual, OPM-FIS Policy on the Protection of Personally Identifiable Information (PII), the OPM-FIS Investigator’s Handbook (IHB), and other documents incorporated herein by reference that pertain to the performance of work under this Contract.

It will include initial and yearly refresher training to identify and correct problems in proficiency by its personnel working under this Contract, training for any changes in technology, OPM-FIS IHB, policy guidance, OPM-FIS Security Manual and other pertinent instructions supplied or approved by OPM incorporated herein by reference, and the Annual IT Security and Privacy Awareness training.

C.3.2 The Request for Proposal (RFP) and Processes and Procedures manual(s) (J.1.1.14) will constitute the basis of Contractor developed training courses and process instructions.

At the beginning of each month, the Contractor will post a calendar with all scheduled events in a manner of OPM’s discretion. The Contractor will report this in accordance with C.9.3.3.4 [Monthly Training Certification] and C.9.3.3.5 [Monthly Training Calendar]. The Contractor will notify OPM of any class cancellation, in accordance with C.9.3.3.5 [Monthly Training Calendar].

C.3.4 An incumbent Ccontract employee in good standing currently working on OPM Contracts may be transferred to another entity or to a new Contract into the same job function without any additional training. Additional training is left to the discretion of the Contractor when the incumbent has 18 months of consecutive OPM experience (in the respective job title with the same functions). If the incumbent has a break in service, it will be at the discretion of the cContractor as to whether or not the employee will need to attend a complete training program for their respective position. However, regardless of the incumbent’s experience level, training (refresher at a minimum) is mandatory for any break in service where a modification has occurred during the period of inactivity.

C.3.5 The Government will provide annual mandatory information technology (IT) (Annual IT Security and Privacy Awareness training) for all Contractor employees working under this Contract. The OPM IT security staff will approve the training materials. The Contractor will complete the mandatory training by the assigned due date provided by the CO or COR.
