INTRODUCTION TO OFFERORS

This is a Service-Disabled Veterans Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) set-aside in accordance with Public Law 109-461.

Solicitation 36C78624R0036 is being published by the Department of Veterans Affairs, National Cemetery Administration (NCA) to establish a pool of Multiple Award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (MA-IDIQ) contracts for the Continental District; hereafter referred to as the Continental (CND) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) Pool.

The purpose of the CND MATOC Pool is to provide construction services to the district for maintenance & repair (M&R) projects, non-recurring maintenance (NRM) projects, and mini-minor (MM) projects.

The nature of construction services the NCA will procure through task orders under this MATOC Pool will vary, requiring multiple NAICS codes to be assigned. In accordance with 13 CFR 121.402(c)(1)(ii), the NCA has divided these services into discrete categories, assigned each category a contract line-item number (CLIN), and assigned the most appropriate NAICS code with applicable size standard. A concern must meet the applicable small business size standard for each CLIN for which it seeks an award.

All work performed under the CND MATOC Pool will be within CND geographic boundaries. See below map depicting NCA district boundaries:

The NCA anticipates awarding approximately 10 MA-IDIQ contracts in the CND MATOC Pool.

The IDIQ contracts will be awarded using a Standard Form (SF) 33. Task orders will be awarded using a SF 1442 or VA form 2138.

Further details on how to submit an offer, complete terms & conditions, and evaluation criteria for this solicitation can be found below in Sections A through M.

SECTION E - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE

E.1 FAR 52.246-12 INSPECTION OF CONSTRUCTION (AUG 1996)

(a) Definition. "Work" includes, but is not limited to, materials, workmanship, and manufacture and fabrication of components.

(b) The Contractor shall maintain an adequate inspection system and perform such inspections as will ensure that the work performed under the contract conforms to contract requirements. The Contractor shall maintain complete inspection records and make them available to the Government. All work shall be conducted under the general direction of the Contracting Officer and is subject to Government inspection and test at all places and at all reasonable times before acceptance to ensure strict compliance with the terms of the contract.

(c) Government inspections and tests are for the sole benefit of the Government and do not—

(1) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for providing adequate quality control measures;

(2) Relieve the Contractor of responsibility for damage to or loss of the material before acceptance;

(3) Constitute or imply acceptance; or

(4) Affect the continuing rights of the Government after acceptance of the completed work under paragraph (i) below.

(d) The presence or absence of a Government inspector does not relieve the Contractor from any contract requirement, nor is the inspector authorized to change any term or condition of the specification without the Contracting Officer's written authorization.

(e) The Contractor shall promptly furnish, at no increase in contract price, all facilities, labor, and material reasonably needed for performing such safe and convenient inspections and tests as may be required by the Contracting Officer. The Government may charge to the Contractor any additional cost of inspection or test when work is not ready at the time specified by the Contractor for inspection or test, or when prior rejection makes reinspection or retest necessary. The Government shall perform all inspections and tests in a manner that will not unnecessarily delay the work. Special, full size, and performance tests shall be performed as described in the contract.

(f) The Contractor shall, without charge, replace or correct work found by the Government not to conform to contract requirements, unless in the public interest the Government consents to accept the work with an appropriate adjustment in contract price. The Contractor shall promptly segregate and remove rejected material from the premises.

(g) If the Contractor does not promptly replace or correct rejected work, the Government may (1) by contract or otherwise, replace or correct the work and charge the cost to the Contractor or (2) terminate for default the Contractor's right to proceed.

(h) If, before acceptance of the entire work, the Government decides to examine already completed work by removing it or tearing it out, the Contractor, on request, shall promptly furnish all necessary facilities, 36C78624R0036 Section E labor, and material. If the work is found to be defective or nonconforming in any material respect due to the fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, the Contractor shall defray the expenses of the examination and of satisfactory reconstruction. However, if the work is found to meet contract requirements, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment for the additional services involved in the examination and reconstruction, including, if completion of the work was thereby delayed, an extension of time.

(i) Unless otherwise specified in the contract, the Government shall accept, as promptly as practicable after completion and inspection, all work required by the contract or that portion of the work the Contracting Officer determines can be accepted separately. Acceptance shall be final and conclusive except for latent defects, fraud, gross mistakes amounting to fraud, or the Government's rights under any warranty or guarantee.

G.6 OPTION DETERMINATION

After the initial base contract term of five years, the NCA has included one option to extend the term of the contract in order to demonstrate the value it places on quality performance by providing a mechanism for continuing a contractual relationship with a successful Contractor that performs at a level which meets or exceeds NCA’s performance expectations.

In recognition of exceptional contract and task order performance of a particular Contractor during their initial five-year term of performance, the Government will consider exercising Option 1.

The option determination for each Contractor will be based on FAR Subpart 17.207 for exercising the option term, and the overall quality of the Contractor’s past performance under the IDIQ and task orders awarded.

36C78624R0036 Section H

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

H.1 NCA Dignity Clause

Every action by contractor personnel at a national cemetery must be performed with the special care, reverence, dignity, and respect that acknowledges the cemetery as the final resting place that commemorates the service and sacrifice that service members, Veterans and their families made for our Nation. Critically important is the awareness required of the Contractor employees of the remains buried in the grounds where the work is performed. The utmost care must be given to these remains and the headstones and flat grave markers that mark those gravesites and memorialize the service of individuals.

H.2 OBSERVATION OF FEDERAL HOLIDAYS

The Contractor shall observe Federal holidays and other days identified in this section unless otherwise indicated in individual task orders. The Government observes the following days as holidays:

Notwithstanding holidays and Government closures, the Contractor shall perform in accordance with the terms established in the IDIQ contract and associated task orders.

H.3 ORDERING PROCEDURES

H.3.1 Notice of Task Order Solicitation Procedures

Task order solicitations will be issued as either Requests for Quotations (RFQ) or Proposals (RFP). Task orders shall be awarded based on competitive proposals requested in accordance with the fair opportunity process requirements in FAR 16.505(b). However, competitive quotations/proposals may not be requested if an exception to the fair opportunity process applies, (See FAR 16.505(b)(2). Task order RFQ/RFP notifications can be published by email or through the Department of Veterans Affairs eCMS Vendor Portal by OCOs. Oral orders are authorized in emergency situations provided that the OCO has an assurance of funds, established procedures for obligating funds, and that oral orders are confirmed in writing.

Email Notifications: MATOC Pool Contractors shall always keep an up-to-date email address on file with the ACO. Backup addresses are encouraged. Upon receipt of a Task Order RFQ/RFP, the Contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the offering by return email. An OCO shall make only one attempt to email an RFP to a MATOC Contractor. The Government will not be responsible for lack of notification(s) for Contractors who fail to maintain current email addresses.

Vendor Portal Notifications: MATOC Contractors must register with the Department of Veterans Affairs eCMS Vendor Portal at https://www.vendorportal.ecms.va.gov. In the event an Offeror is unable to submit a proposal through the vendor portal domain, prior to the proposal closing date, contact the helpdesk at 1-877-634-3739, or via email at VA.Acquisition.Systems@va.gov. If an Offeror is still having difficulties in submitting a proposal via the Vendor Portal the ACO may accept proposals via email under the following circumstances:

Offeror must provide evidence that email discussions or verbal discussion with the helpdesk could not resolve registration issues.

Proposal submitted must meet the time constraints as set forth in the task order solicitation.

H.3.2 Task Order Solicitation and Award Documents

Task order solicitations will contain a notification letter and applicable project information such as a statement of work, construction drawings, construction specifications, key personnel price schedule sheet, wage determination(s), and any other supporting documents and information needed to facilitate accurate quotes/proposals from Contractors. Hourly fees associated with key personnel must be equal to or less than the pre-negotiated fully burdened rates agreed to at the time of IDIQ contract award. Task orders will be awarded using a Standard Form 1442 or VA form 2138.

H.3.3 Task Order Source Selection Processes and Techniques

The task order solicitation will specify the source selection technique and evaluation factors used to evaluate quotes/proposals. OCOs have the discretion to use one or more of the evaluation procedures in FAR Part 15. Whenever possible, award will be made without discussions. If determined necessary, OCOs may conduct discussions and/or communications with Offerors and will be done in accordance with FAR Part 15 procedures.

H.3.4 Task Order Terms and Conditions

The terms and conditions of the Contractor's IDIQ contract (including any contract modifications) apply to all task orders issued under the contract. Any unique terms and conditions of an order issued under the contract that are not a part of the applicable IDIQ will govern. In the event of an inconsistency between the terms and conditions of a task order and the Contractor's IDIQ, the terms of the IDIQ will take precedence.

The Government reserves the right to incorporate additional clauses, as appropriate, into individual task order solicitations and awards.

All costs associated with the preparation, presentation, and discussion of the Contractor’s proposal in response to a task order solicitation will be at the Contractor’s sole and exclusive expense.

H.4 PREDOMINANT TASK ORDER NAICS DETERMINATION

The OCO has the responsibility to determine which predominant NAICS code applies to a task order solicitation. The OCO must identify the NAICS Code Number, Title, Small Business Size Standard, and corresponding CLIN or SLIN from the IDIQ contracts (CLIN 0001, 0002, or 0003). Contractors that have been awarded the selected CLIN on their IDIQ can compete for the task order award.

H.5 PRODUCT SERVICE CODES (PSC)

The PSC represents what services were purchased by the federal government for each task order award reported in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS). The scope of the IDIQ contracts span across many construction related PSCs, however, the primary PSC selected must be based on the predominant service that is being purchased. The OCO has the responsibility for determining the most appropriate

PSC.

H.6 SECURITY CONSIDERATIONS

This is an acquisition where contractor and sub-contractor employees will require routine access to a federally controlled facility. Each cemetery has different requirements for routine access; therefore, if determined necessary, contractor employees may be required to go through background checks and be eligible to receive a Government Identification Card prior to entering a facility to conduct work. If required, all background checks and credentialling will be completed in accordance with NCA policies and standard operating procedures.

H.7 COOPERATION WITH OTHER CONTRACTORS ON NCA SITES

The NCA may undertake or award other contracts or task orders for work at or near the sites of work that may be awarded under these IDIQ contracts. The Contractor shall fully cooperate with the other Contractors and with Government employees and shall carefully adapt scheduling and performing the work under contract to accommodate the working environment, heeding any direction that may be provided by the OCO. The Contractor shall not commit or permit any act that will interfere with the performance of work by any other Contractor or by Government employees.

H.8 ON/OFF-RAMPING

H.8.1 On-Ramping Procedures

The total number of Contractors within the CND MATOC pool may fluctuate due to any number of reasons including but not limited to, competition levels on task orders, mergers & acquisitions; and the Government's exercise of the on/off-ramp processes. It is in the Government’s best interest that there remain an adequate number of Contractors eligible to compete for task orders to meet the Government’s construction service mission requirements. At any time, the NCA determines it to be necessary, they may initiate on-ramping procedures to add Contractors to the CND MATOC Pool. Procedures to on-ramp are as follows:

1. A notice is published in Federal Contract Opportunities in accordance with FAR Part 5, Publicizing Contract Action notifying the public than the NCA is initiating on-ramping procedures for the CND MATOC Pool.

2. A solicitation is issued under current Federal procurement law.

3. The solicitation identifies the total anticipated number of new contracts that NCA intends to award

4. Any Offeror that meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the on-ramping solicitation may submit a proposal in response to the solicitation.

5. The award decision under the on-ramping solicitation is based upon substantially the same evaluation factors/sub-factors as the original solicitation.

6. An Offeror’s proposal must receive a proposal score equal to or higher than the lowest scoring Contractor within the CND MATOC Pool.

7. The terms and conditions of any resulting awards are materially identical to the existing version of the CND MATOC Pool and,

8. The period of performance term for any new awards is coterminous with the existing term for all other Contractors.

Immediately upon on-ramping, the Contractor is eligible to submit a proposal in response to any task order solicitation and receive task order awards with the same rights and obligations as any other Contractor.
