EVALUATION AND AWARD METHODOLOGY:

The Government anticipates awarding a single firm fixed price contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Quoter who’s quote, conforming to the solicitation, will provide the best overall value to satisfy the Government’s needs. The Government will select the quote that provides the best overall value. The Government reserves the right to award multiple contracts.

A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote furnished to the successful Quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the quote shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the Quoter’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote) without dialogue unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award. The Government specifically reserves the right to accept a quote based solely on the Quoter’s quote. The Government specifically reserves the right to remove from award consideration any Quoter’s quote that does not conform to all requirements in the solicitation. Alternate quotes will neither be entertained nor evaluated.

Award of this contract will be made on a competitive best value basis, using “tradeoff” among price and non-price factors. The Government may elect to award to other than the lowest priced Quoter, or other than the highest technically evaluated Quoter.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

Volume A: Technical Quote - Key Personnel Resumes. Price will be evaluated for completeness, reasonable, and accuracy of quoted prices, but will not receive a rating. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be received for the overall Technical Quote Factor.

The overall Technical Quote factor is more important than the Price factor. The Price factor will become significantly more important as the non-price factors approach equality.

Gunsmith – 3 resumes The following format shall be used to submit Key Personnel resumes:

1. Each resume should be submitted using the format in Attachment 2 – Gunsmith Resume Template and Attachment. Each resume shall not to exceed 5 pages.

2. All candidates that are proposed on this contract as part of the quote and must be available to perform the work in this contract. Failure to provide the candidates proposed may result in immediate Termination for Default.

TECHNICAL FACTOR SHALL BE EVALUATED UNDER THE FOLLOWING RATINGS:

Volume B – Price

The Government will assess, and evaluate, the Quoter’s quote, formatted as Attachment 3, Volume B Price Quote, for each CLIN as well as the total price to determine reasonableness and completeness. Any inconsistencies in price must be clearly justified.

The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The contractor shall insert the fully burdened rates for the individuals that they are submitting resumes for into the pricing sheet.

SECTION II – SPECIAL REQUIREMENTS

II. 1.0 E-QIP – ACCESS TO FEDERAL BUREAU OF INVESTIGATION LOCATIONS

Access to Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Locations

Performance under this contract may require access to FBI locations to provide some service, product, or perform some other official function of interest to the FBI. Requirements, as identified below, to include approval by the FBI's Security Division, must be satisfied prior to access.

Contractors who will require escorted access, to include short-term, intermittent, or infrequent access, to an FBI facility must complete an "Access of Non-FBI Personnel to FBI Facilities, Background Data Information Form," (FD 816), a "Privacy Act of 1974 Acknowledgment Form" (FD 484) and two Fingerprint Cards (FD 258). Completed forms should be provided to the assigned Contracting Officer's Technical Representative (COTR) at least 10 days prior to required access.

Individuals requiring unescorted access to an FBI facility must complete the Standard Form 86 (SF-86), Questionnaire for National Security Positions, using the Office of Personnel Management’s Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) and provide two Fingerprint Cards (FD 258). e-QIP is a secure website that can be accessed from any computer system which has an Internet connection. Only the signed release forms and FD 258 will need to be mailed to the identified Chief Security Officer, the SF-86 itself will be transmitted to the FBI electronically.

To complete the SF-86 using e-QIP, the individual requiring unescorted access to the FBI facility must contact (insert Chief Security Officer, Division, and telephone number) in order to be initiated into e-QIP. Once this action has been accomplished, the individual should be able to access e-QIP at the following link in order to initiate and complete the electronic process: http://www.opm.gov/e-qip/browser-check.asp. Thoroughly read and follow the instructions for completing the SF-86. NOTE: To fully address suitability/security issues, the FBI requires individuals to provide responses to questions on the SF-86 for the last ten years. Failure to complete the application as instructed may lead to significant delays in processing the required investigation and approval for unescorted access.

Upon logging onto e-QIP, there will be a prompt to answer three “Golden” security questions to establish the user account. After completing the electronic SF-86, please print and sign the (1) Certification Form (CER) - Certify Completeness and Accuracy of your Investigation Request; (2) Medical Release Form (MEL) - Authorization for Release of Medical Information; and (3) Release Form (REL) - Authorization for Release of Information. In addition to these SF 86 release forms, the completion of a Non-Personnel Consent to Release Information (FD-979a), the United States Department of Justice Disclosure and Authorization Pertaining to Comsumer Reports (DOJ 555) are required. Annotation of the assigned e-QIP Investigation Request Number on the upper right corner of each document transmitted to the identified Chief Security Officer is required for coordination with the electronic transmission and to facilitate the investigative process. The e-QIP Investigation Request Number, automatically generated by e-QIP, is located on both the header and footer of the signature forms. These release forms (five total) and FD 258 should be mailed via Federal Express or UPS Express mail directly to the following address: (insert name and address of Chief Security Officer). The use of regular U.S. mail channels may cause significant delays in processing the unescorted access request.

Upon completion of processing the facility access request, the individual will be required to execute a non-disclosure agreement suitable for their approved access.

[END OF CLAUSE]

II.2.0 DOJ CONSENT FOR WARRANTLESS SEARCHES OF DOJ WORKPLACES

Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice Workplaces

All cleared personnel accessing information within FBI controlled space are required to execute a FBI Form FD 1001 Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice (DOJ) Workplaces as a condition of working at FBI facilities. The FBI's Director implemented the Attorney General's policy subjecting employees to warrantless physical searches of their offices or immediate workplaces within DOJ premises when authorized by the Attorney General (AG) or the Deputy Attorney General (DAG) based upon a determination that information the Department deems credible indicates that the employee:

1) is, or may be, disclosing classified information in an unauthorized manner;

2) has incurred excessive indebtedness or has acquired a level of affluence that cannot be reasonably explained by other information;

3) had the capability and opportunity to disclose classified information that is believed to have been lost or compromised to a foreign power or an agent of a foreign power; or

4) has repeatedly or significantly mishandled or improperly stored classified information.

The search may extend to the entire office or workplace and anything within it that might hold classified information, including locked containers (such as briefcases) and electronic storage media (such as computer disk and handheld computers), whether owned by the government, by the employee, or by a third party. The search may be conducted by appropriate FBI personnel and/or law enforcement officers, on an announced or unannounced basis, during the workday or after hours. If discovered during a search, evidence of misconduct - whether related to storage or classified information, storage of sensitive but unclassified information, or a crime - will be collected and reported to appropriate authorities.

Contractor personnel who will meet the above criteria will be required to sign Form FD 1001 Consent for Warrantless Searches of Department of Justice (DOJ) Workplaces (attached) upon award and forward the executed form(s) to the assigned Contracting Officer's Technical Representative designated in Section G of the solicitation if this is a formal solicitation or listed below. All forms will be retained by the FBI during the period the individual is providing services and two years after that individual's departure before final disposition is taken.

II.3.0 PERSONNEL SERCURITY: SECURITY REQUIREMENTS APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL ASSIGNED TO FBI LOCATIONS

Requirements are applicable to all individuals to be assigned to FBI locations, to include those identified as "Key Personnel", if specified in the contract. The contractor shall plan for expected attrition through advanced preparation and submission of required information.

Award of this contract is anticipated to result in assignment of contractor personnel to FBI controlled or occupied space. Security and ethical conduct requirements, specific to the contract, to include a copy of the "Contractor & FBI Employees Ethics Standards Factsheet" are provided. Any questions that the contractor or contractor personnel may have on the applicability of these requirements shall be addressed to the Contracting Officer's Security Representative or (name of Chief Security Officer), Chief Security Officer, at (telephone number). As such, all contractor personnel assigned to such space must be briefed, in advance of arrival, by the contractor on the provided FBI policies and procedures, as identified in the contract, regarding ethical conduct and security requirements. A list of assigned Contractor personnel and verification of their briefing, shall be provided to the cognizant contractor security officer for subsequent transmittal to the proper FBI Security Officer assigned oversight of this contract. This list must be provided no later than seven (7) days in advance of the individual's scheduled date of initial performance at an FBI location. Failure to provide the required verification of briefing will result in a delay of the individual's access to the facility.

Additionally, within 15 days from assignment to FBI space, the employee must attend an FBI Security Awareness Briefing, which will further address FBI policies and procedures, as identified in FBI's Policy and Guidance Library. This training is currently satisfied through the contractor employee's attendance at the Security Division's Career Services Management Unit's quarterly contractor's training offered at FBI, 935 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW, Washington, DC. The assigned FBI Chief Security Officer will contact the employee with the date and time of their scheduled briefing. Failure to attend this briefing or make arrangements to attend a subsequent briefing will result in immediate removal of the employee from FBI space. If contract performance is impacted as a result of removal of the employee, the contractor may be found in default of the contract. In the event that the development of information or material is not clearly covered by the contract or regulations, the contractor is required to seek FBI guidance regarding its handling of classified and/or unclassified information.

Only such persons who have been authorized by the Contracting Officer and/or the Chief Security Officer/Contracting Officer's Security Representative, if the work is for other than specified personnel, shall be assigned to this work. In this connection, for identification purposes, the contractor will be required to submit the name, address, place and date of birth of all personnel who will be involved in the work hereunder. Said information will be required to be provided to the identified Chief Security Officer not later than seven (7) days in advance of the scheduled date of such work. Information relating to an individual(s) identified as "Key Personnel" should be reported to the Chief Security Officer after the written consent of the Contracting Officer has been received.

All contractor personnel who receive a security clearance or access approval under the terms of this contract will be required to execute a FBI specified nondisclosure agreement.

The contractor agrees to abide by all applicable FBI security regulations governing personnel, facilities, technical, information systems, communications and protective programs.

The following reporting requirements are to be reported to the identified Chief Security Officer as promptly as possible, but in no event later than two (2) business days after receipt of such knowledge.

a. Adverse Information. Contractors shall report any adverse information coming to their attention concerning any of their employees supporting this contract. Adverse information is defined as any information that adversely reflect on the integrity or character of an employee that suggests that his or her ability to safeguard FBI Sensitive But Unclassified (SBU)/Law Enforcement Sensitive (LES) and/or classified information may be impaired, or that his or her access to the information clearly may not be in the interest of the FBI and/or National Security.

b. Suspicious Contacts. Contractors shall report efforts by any individual, regardless of nationality, to obtain illegal or unauthorized access to FBI SBU/LES or classified information or to compromise an employee.

c. Change in Employee Status. Contractors shall report (1) the death, (2) a name change, (3) change in marital status, (4) change to performance which alters their originally assigned location and FBI Division to which they report, (5) termination of employment.

d. Employees Desiring Not to Perform on the Contract. Evidence that an employee no longer wishes to support the contract.

e. Official or Unofficial Foreign Travel.

II.4.0 CONTRACTOR SUITABILITY REQUIREMENT

Access to FBI facilities and information is subject to specific security and suitability requirements. The FBI reserves the right and prerogative to deny and/or restrict facility and information access of any contractor employee determined by the FBI, at any time during performance, to be unsuitable for access and/or present a risk of compromising sensitive government information to which he or she would have access to under this contract. Contractors will be allotted a reasonable amount of time, determined by the government, to replace the employee found not suitable for continued contract performance. Failure to replace the employee may result in a no cost termination for cause by the government

[END OF CLAUSE]

II.5.0 DOJ RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

All contractor personnel employed within the United States, both United States citizens and non-United States citizens, are required to meet the following residency requirements:

a. For three of the five years immediately prior to applying for the specific contract position, the individual must have 1) resided in the United States; 2) worked for the United States overseas in a Federal or military capability; or 3) be a dependent of a Federal or military employee serving overseas.

The requirement may be waived for short term contractor personnel (performing duties for a cumulative total of 14 days or less) if there is a critical need for their specialized and unique skills. These individuals must, however, be United States citizens or Permanent Resident Aliens.

II.6.0 RELEASE OF INFORMATION BY CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL

The FBI specifically requires that Contractors shall not divulge, publish, or disclose information or produce material acquired as or derived from the performance of their duties.

For purposes of this Clause, "Information" shall include but not be limited to: any media or all media including on the web or web sites; publications, studies, books, theses, photographs, films or public announcements, press releases describing any part of the subject matter of this contract or any phase of any program hereunder, except to the extent such is:

(ii) required by law, regulation, subpoena or government or judicial order to be disclosed, including the Freedom of Information Act.

No release of information shall be made without the prior written consent of the Office of Public Affairs and the Contracting Officer. The contractor and author are warned that disclosure is not without potential consequences. The FBI will make every effort to review proposed publications in a timely manner to accommodate these and other publications.

Where appropriate, in accordance with established academic publishing practices, the FBI reserves the right to author/co-author any publication derived from this contract.

Contractor shall not:

1) Use or allow to be used any aspect of this contract, including both the contractor’s relationship with the FBI and the work performed under the contract, for publicity. “Publicity” means, but is not limited to, advertising (e.g. trade magazines, newspapers, Internet, radio, television, etc.), communications with the media, marketing, or a reference for new business. It is further understood that this obligation does not expire upon completion or termination of this contract, but continues indefinitely excepted as allowed by law.

2) Have any communication with the media, whether initiated by the contractor or in response to media inquiries, related to the activities of the FBI, activities of other members of the intelligence community, or intelligence matters in general.

3) Discuss such matters as a speaker or panel member at academic, professional, or any other public forum.

4) Discuss techniques and methods used outside of the contract.

5) Using techniques and methods used outside of the contract.

These obligations do not cease upon completion of the contract.

(b) The term "organizational conflict of interest" means a situation where a Contractor has interest, either due to its other activities or its relationship with other organizations, which place it in a position that may be unsatisfactory or unfavorable (1) from the Government's standpoint in being able to secure impartial, technically sound, objective assistance and advise from the Contractor, or in securing the advantages of adequate competition in its procurement; or (2) from industry's standpoint in that unfair competitive advantages may accrue to the Contractor in question.

(c) The Contractor agrees that, if after award he discovers an organizational conflict of interest with respect to this contract, he shall make an immediate and full disclosure in writing to the Contracting Officer which shall include a description of the action which the Contractor has taken or proposes to take to avoid, eliminate or neutralize the conflict. The Government may, however, terminate the contract for the convenience of the Government at no cost.

(d) In the event that the Contractor was aware of an organization conflict of interest prior to the award of this contract and intentionally did not disclose the conflict to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract at no cost to the Government.
