INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. GENERAL:

The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred for the contractors’ time or materials expended in preparing a quote for this Request for Quote (RFQ).

This acquisition is for one Firm Fixed Price purchase order/contract (PO) and will be conducted in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 (Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services), Parts 13 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures), and Parts 19 (Small Business Programs).

To receive an award, the contractor must have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM), https://www.sam.gov Prospective offerors must be found to be responsible IAW FAR 9.1 and have no delinquent federal debt.

Quotes submitted on a basis other than F.O.B. Destination will be rejected as nonresponsive.

Quotes will be evaluated IAW FAR 52.212-2, as it is contained within this SF1449 RFQ Document.

The following documents, though not physically attached to this SF1449 document, are hereby incorporated as part of this RFQ and resultant award, as applicable: “Attachment 1 – PWS” (Performance Work Statement).

2. QUOTE SUBMISSION:

Parties interested in responding to this RFQ shall email their complete quote to Megan.Jones5.civ@army.mil before the closing date and time specified in Block # 8 of this document. Quotes submitted for consideration of award shall include:

(a) One (1) copy of this SF1449 RFQ document, completed with Blocks 17, 30a, 30b, and 30c filled-in and signed by a company official that is authorized to contractually bind the company, and,

(b) Completion of any of the provisions and/or clauses listed under paragraph 5 of this addendum, if not already completed in the offeror’s currently active SAM.GOV profile, and,

Note: If an amendment is executed and posted after an offer is submitted, the contractor need only send the signed SF30 rather than duplicating previously submitted documents.

3. QUESTIONS:

4. EMAIL TRANSMISSIONS:

Contractors should anticipate delays in electronic transmission and are advised to plan ahead and begin transmitting their submission in enough time to ensure successful delivery prior to the submission deadline. If the contractor does not receive written confirmation of receipt from the purchasing agent, (via “Read Receipt” or manual reply to acknowledge receipt), before the established deadline, it is the responsibility of the contractor to contact the purchasing agent to confirm that their email submission was received.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement.

(End of provision)

52.217-8 OPTION TO EXTEND SERVICES (NOV 1999)

AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (JUL 2012) ACC-APG TYD 5152.233-4001

If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible Contracting Officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the General Accounting Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. Send protests (other than protests to the Contracting Officer) to:

Headquarters U.S. Army Material Command Office of Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Readstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840 E-mail: amcprotests@conus.army.mil

The AMC-Level Protest Procedures are accessible via the Internet at:

www.amc.army.mil/amc/commandcounsel.html . If internet access is not available, contact the Contracting Officer or HQ, AMC, to obtain the AMC-Level Protest Procedures.

ACWS TRANSITION

Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Offerors

The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software suite will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Solicitation.

During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:

The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (e.g. solicitation amendments and awards, if any). Due to this:

This solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same Contracting Office (e.g. requiring offer submission via the PIEE Solicitation Module vs. e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer.

If the Contracting Office switches contract writing systems prior to award, documents you receive from the Contracting Officer or view on SAM.gov or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.

A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response (amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer.

The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new contract writing software, you, as the Offeror, may still be the first to spot such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:

Notify the Contracting Officer immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions affect your award eligibility, violate or alter existing quote/proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.

Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the Contracting Office throughout the Solicitation and Award process.

Contact the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the solicitation or solicitation amendment for guidance if you notice or suspect any inadvertent change has occurred between document issuances.

The Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents (if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.

In the unlikely event a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:

May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.

Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.

Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.

Will issue a complete, properly-formatted award accurately reflecting this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.
