About this file

This is a Request for Application (RFA) document template for the BIG-ST (Broad Innovation Grant - Science and Technology) Broad Agency Announcement under National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) contract number HM047623BAA0001. The document serves as the master contract framework that will be populated with specific details at the topic call level for individual contract awards.

The RFA establishes the administrative and contractual infrastructure for research and development projects, incorporating extensive Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) clauses covering cost accounting standards, payment procedures, property management, personnel requirements, and compliance obligations. Key administrative elements include electronic invoicing submission through the Invoice Processing Platform (www.ipp.gov), contractor personnel data management through NGA's Human Capital Management System, and mandatory participation in the Dormant Account Review Quarterly (DAR-Q) process using the National Reconnaissance Office's Acquisition Research Center website. The contract requires designated Contracting Officer's Representatives (CORs) for technical liaison, performance monitoring, payment approval, and property administration. Special provisions address government property accountability, Limited Distribution (LIMDIS) materials handling, GEOINT standards compliance, facility badging and access controls, and NGA facility regulations compliance. The document mandates key personnel designations with restrictions on substitutions during the first twelve months and advance approval requirements thereafter. Contract-specific details including supplies, services, pricing, deliverables, inspection criteria, and evaluation factors are noted as intentionally left blank to be filled at the topic call level contract award stage.

The Contractor shall ensure that its supporting documentation includes a copy of the contractor’s internal invoice and conforms to IPP requirements. IPP accommodates up to 25 supporting attachments per invoice. Individual attachment file size may not exceed ten megabytes (10mb). If the Contractor assesses that their supporting documentation will not reasonably conform to IPP requirements, the Contractor shall contact the Contracting Officer to explore possible alternatives. In addition, the IPP only allows certain characters to be used as the invoice number. The invoice number shall conform to the IPP convention, and the attachments (if used) shall match exactly the invoice number allowed. The allowed characters in the IPP are "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789-_"

ALTERNATE:

[(Enter Name and Title)]

[(Enter Organization, Mail Stop, E-mail, Phone and Fax Numbers)]

For ordering contracts, the COR(s) will be identified on each delivery/task order.

The COR(s) has a written designation memorandum on file with the procurement office. This memorandum, as directed by DFARs 252.201-7000(b), specifies the extent of the COR's authority to act on behalf of the contracting officer. This authority cannot be re-delegated to any other person. The alternate COR acts in behalf of the primary COR in absence of the primary COR and is appointed through a separate memorandum.

The primary responsibilities of CORs are:

1) Technical Liaison. Oversees the contractor's technical effort to ensure that performance is in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the contract. Is the primary interface between the contractor and the contracting officer on matters pertaining to the contractor's technical performance. Answers technical questions, furnishes technical instruction and guidance to the contractor relating to contract specifications, and any other instructions of a technical nature necessary to perform the work as specified in the contract. CORs are not to tell the Contractor how to perform, but only what is required of a technical nature. If doubt exists as to whether information to be furnished falls within the scope of the contract, the COR is to coordinate action with the contracting officer prior to transmitting the information to the Contractor. Promptly responds to contracting officer queries for technical information and directs the contractor to submit requests for change, deviation or waiver in writing to the contracting officer. Keeps the contracting officer informed regarding communications with the contractor in order to prevent possible misunderstandings or situations that could affect contract terms and conditions and become the basis for future claims against the Government.

2) Monitoring contractor performance. Ensures delivery schedules are adhered to and provides quality assurance.

Provides status to the contracting officer and other program personnel to ensure compliance with the technical requirements of the contract. If performance is not proceeding satisfactorily, or if problems are anticipated, promptly notifies the contracting officer and may provide a recommended technical course of correction action. Reviews and approves progress reports, technical reports, financial/management reports and other items requiring approval.

Notifies the contracting officer if such reports or items should be rejected, stating the basis for rejection.

3) Technical Evaluation of Contractor Proposal. Evaluates contractor proposals for modifications and provides a written technical evaluation, to include price or cost elements, to the contracting officer.

4) Reviewing and Approving Payments and Acceptance. Reviews invoices and progress payments for accuracy and appropriateness and reports any discrepancies and provides concurrence (or non-concurrence) to the Contracting Officer. Approves payments and accepts work on the appropriate forms for services performed or supplies delivered.

5) Administration of Government Property. Submits to the contracting officer and property specialist a written evaluation of the disposition of any material/property furnished by the Government that is accountable to the contract.

6) Security. Coordinates all security requirements of the contract with the contractor and the agency security office, to include DD254s and contractor access to NGA networks. Ensures AIS accounts of departing NGA contractor on-site personnel are cancelled expeditiously. Keeps track of any classified documents or data provided and ensures return or destruction upon completion of the contract.

7) Maintenance of Files. Keeps a file of all records related to the contract to include, but not limited to, the contract, e-mail correspondence, formal written correspondence, reports, receiving and acceptance reports/forms, technical evaluations, trip reports, meeting notes, status reports, past performance reports, government property reports and closeout records.

8) Administration of On-Site contractor personnel information. Maintains information on contractors, prime and subs, performing on-site at NGA facilities. Coordinates with the contractors and the Human Resource Office (HR) all contractor data changes, to include arrival and departure, names, physical location(s), NGA organization code of office responsible for contractor-occupied-space, and employer name, address and phone. Approves badging of contractors upon contractor completion and submittal of Contractor Data Input Record Form to HR and a standardized NGA non-disclosure statement.

CORs shall not direct the contractor in any manner that would be of the type of supervision or control that converts an individual who is an independent Contractor (such as a contractor employee) into a Government employee.

Notwithstanding the delegated duties listed herein, the COR does not possess the authority of a contracting officer and, therefore, shall not alter the terms and conditions of the contract in any way, to include any commitments or changes that will affect cost, price, quality, quantity, delivery, or any other term or condition of the contract. The contracting officer is the only official with the authority to enter into or modify contractual agreements or commitments. Unauthorized acts could result in personal liability.

The duties and responsibilities set forth herein are not intended to be all-inclusive. The contracting officer may delegate additional functions as deemed necessary.

COR appointment and termination on a specific contract shall be effective upon contract/order award or execution of a modification to the contract by the contracting officer.

SECTION H - Special Contract Requirements

H.1 DORMANT ACCOUNT REVIEW-QUARTERLY PARTICIPATION

The Dormant Account Review, Quarterly (DAR-Q) process, is the Department of Defense (DoD) requirement to increase the Department’s and NGA’s ability to use available appropriations before they expire and ensure remaining open obligations are valid and liquidated before the cancellation of the appropriation. NGA disseminates and receives DAR-Q information to and from NGA’s Industry Partners using the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) unclassified Acquisition Research Center (ARC) website. NGA provides consolidated lists of lines of accounting for validation, of which contractor participation is mandatory.

Contractors holding NGA contracts and/or orders are required to support the NGA DAR-Q process. Each contractor must select two points of contact (POCs) to establish and maintain active accounts on the unclassified NRO ARC at https://acq.westfields.net.

https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi/pgi_htm/current/PGI204_71.htm#payment_instructions https://acq.westfields.net/

Contractor POCs use the following information to register:

1.) Full name;

2.) SSN (Optional);

3.) Unclassified email address;

4.) DUNS number; and 5.) Unclassified telephone number.

From the https://acq.westfields.net homepage, click on “Register” in the upper-right-hand corner of the page; follow the instructions, and enter the requested data. Although not required for DAR-Q compliance, POCs possessing a classified email account may enter that information during registration to also create a classified ARC account.

POCs should be aware that account activation requires the registered user to validate the account by email within 24 hours of registration. Questions or problems related to the website or the registration process should be directed to the unclassified Acquisition Center of Excellence (ACE) Help IT Desk at 703-230-6300 or acehelpdesk@westfields.net.

NGA will conduct quarterly DAR-Q reviews in accordance with the DoD Financial Management Regulations (FMR). Contractors with dormant Unliquidated Obligations appearing on any specific quarterly DAR-Q review will be notified via the NRO ARC. Once notified, contractor POCs are required to validate and upload the contractors’ responses, including supporting documentation, to the NRO ARC by the due date set forth in the relevant timelines outlined by NGA and the FMR.

H.2 Special Contract Requirements

KEY PERSONNEL CLAUSE

(a) The Contractor shall assign to perform this contract those persons whose resumes were submitted with its proposal and who are identified below or in the Contractor's proposal as Key Personnel. No substitutions of these Key Personnel shall be made except in accordance with this clause.

(b) The Contractor agrees that during the first twelve months of contract performance, no key personnel substitutions will be made unless necessitated by an individual's sudden illness, death, or termination of employment. In any of these events, the Contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer and provide the information required by paragraph (d) below on the proposed replacement for Government approval.

(c) After the initial twelve-month period, the Contractor must obtain Government approval of the substitution prior to removing the approved Key Personnel from performance. All proposed substitutions/additions must be submitted, in writing, to the Contracting Officer at least 30 days (60 days if security clearances are involved) in advance of the proposed substitution and provide the information required by paragraph (d) below.

(d) All requests for substitutions/additions must include a detailed explanation of the circumstances necessitating the proposed substitution or addition, a complete resume for the proposed substitute or addition including skills, experience, education, training, and security level. As determined by the Contracting Officer, all proposed substitutes/additions must have qualifications that meet or exceed the qualifications of the person to be replaced.

(e) The Contracting Officer or his authorized representatives will evaluate the request(s) and the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor, in writing, of approval or disapproval. Disapproval of the proposed individual(s) shall not provide grounds for nonperformance by the Contractor or form the basis of any claim for monies, delivery schedule extension, or any other equitable adjustment.

(f) The personnel set forth as proposed by the Contractor as identified in the Contractor's proposals as Key Personnel, comprise the list of Key Personnel required to perform under these contracts. The list may be modified in accordance with the above, to substitute or add personnel:

• Insert Name - Principal Investigator https://acq.westfields.net/

(DEVIATION 2022-O0001) (OCT 2021)

(a) Before awarding any subcontract expected to exceed $2 million, on the date of agreement on price or the date of award, whichever is later; or before pricing any subcontract modification involving a pricing adjustment expected to exceed $2 million, the Contractor shall require the subcontractor to submit certified cost or pricing data (actually or by specific identification in writing), in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.408, Table 15-2 (to include any information reasonably required to explain the subcontractor’s estimating process such as the judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the estimate, including those used in projecting from known data, and the nature and amount of any contingencies included in the price), unless an exception under FAR 15.403-1(b) applies. If the $2 million threshold for submission of certified cost or pricing data is adjusted for inflation as set forth in FAR 1.109(a), then pursuant to FAR 1.109(d) the changed threshold applies throughout the remaining term of the contract, unless there is a subsequent threshold adjustment.

(b) The Contractor shall require the subcontractor to certify in substantially the form prescribed in FAR 15.406-2 that, to the best of its knowledge and belief, the data submitted under paragraph (a) of this clause were accurate, complete, and current as of the date of agreement on the negotiated price of the subcontract or subcontract modification.

(c) In each subcontract that, when entered into, exceeds $2 million, the Contractor shall insert either—

(1) The substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), if paragraph (a) of this clause requires submission of certified cost or pricing data for the subcontract; or

(2) The substance of the clause at 52.215-13, Subcontractor Certified Cost or Pricing Data—Modifications

(DEVIATION 2022-O0001).

(End of clause)

I.21 52.215-11 (DEVIATION 2022-O0001) PRICE REDUCTION FOR DEFECTIVE CERTIFIED COST OR

PRICING DATA--MODIFICATIONS (DEVIATION 2022-O0001) (OCT 2021)

(a) This clause shall become operative only for any modification to this contract involving a pricing adjustment expected to exceed $2 million on the date of execution of the modification, except that this clause does not apply to any modification if an exception under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.403-1(b) applies.

(b) If any price, including profit or fee, negotiated in connection with any modification under this clause, or any cost reimbursable under this contract, was increased by any significant amount because—

(1) The Contractor or a subcontractor furnished certified cost or pricing data that were not complete, accurate, and current as certified in its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data;

(2) A subcontractor or prospective subcontractor furnished the Contractor certified cost or pricing data that were not complete, accurate, and current as certified in the Contractor’s Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data; or

(3) Any of these parties furnished data of any description that were not accurate, the price or cost shall be reduced accordingly and the contract shall be modified to reflect the reduction. This right to a price reduction is limited to that resulting from defects in data relating to modifications for which this clause becomes operative under paragraph

(a) of this clause.

(c) Any reduction in the contract price under paragraph (b) of this clause due to defective data from a prospective subcontractor that was not subsequently awarded the subcontract shall be limited to the amount, plus applicable overhead and profit markup, by which—

(1) The actual subcontract price; or

(2) The actual cost to the Contractor, if there was no subcontract awarded, was less than the prospective subcontract cost estimate submitted by the Contractor; provided, that the actual subcontract price was not itself affected by defective certified cost or pricing data.

(d)(1) If the Contracting Officer determines under paragraph (b) of this clause that a price or cost reduction should be made, the Contractor agrees not to raise the following matters as a defense:

(i) The Contractor or subcontractor was a sole source supplier or otherwise was in a superior bargaining position and thus the price of the contract would not have been modified even if accurate, complete, and current certified cost or pricing data had been submitted.

(ii) The Contracting Officer should have known that the certified cost or pricing data in issue were defective even though the Contractor or subcontractor took no affirmative action to bring the character of the data to the attention of the Contracting Officer.

(iii) The contract was based on an agreement about the total cost of the contract and there was no agreement about the cost of each item procured under the contract.

(iv) The Contractor or subcontractor did not submit a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data.

(2)(i) Except as prohibited by subdivision (d)(2)(ii) of this clause, an offset in an amount determined appropriate by the Contracting Officer based upon the facts shall be allowed against the amount of a contract price reduction if—

(A) The Contractor certifies to the Contracting Officer that, to the best of the Contractor’s knowledge and belief, the Contractor is entitled to the offset in the amount requested; and

(B) The Contractor proves that the certified cost or pricing data were available before the “as of” date specified on its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data, and that the data were not submitted before such date.

(ii) An offset shall not be allowed if—

(A) The understated data were known by the Contractor to be understated before the “as of” date specified on its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data; or

(B) The Government proves that the facts demonstrate that the contract price would not have increased in the amount to be offset even if the available data had been submitted before the “as of” date specified on its Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data.

(e) If any reduction in the contract price under this clause reduces the price of items for which payment was made prior to the date of the modification reflecting the price reduction, the Contractor shall be liable to and shall pay the United States at the time such overpayment is repaid—

(1) Interest compounded daily, as required by 26 U.S.C. 6622, on the amount of such overpayment to be computed from the date(s) of overpayment to the Contractor to the date the Government is repaid by the Contractor at the applicable underpayment rate effective for each quarter prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury under 26 U.S.C.

6621(a)(2); and
