The purpose of Screening Information Request

(SIR) 692M15-21-R-00001 is to solicit proposals for the Information Technology Innovative Procurement for Strategic Sourcing (ITIPSS)

ITIPSS BASE PERIOD - Ordering Years 1-5 (CLINs 0100-0500). See Attachment B-1 for details

Delivery: 1825 Days After Award

ITIPSS OPTION PERIOD - Ordering Years 6-10 (CLINs 0600-1000). See Attachment B-1 for details

Delivery: 3650 Days After Award

Section B - Supplies or Services/Prices Section B - Schedule

B.1 GENERAL

Information Technology Innovative Procurement for Strategic Sourcing (ITIPSS) is a multiple-award Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract, for non-personal services. The Contractor must provide, in accordance with SIR SECTION C and as incrementally requested and authorized in the form of individually issued Task Orders, flexible and responsive technical, administrative, management, and professional service solutions to meet a variety of current and future requirements in support of the Office of Information Technology’s (AIT) enterprise-wide performance objectives. The Contractor must provide all management, supervision, labor, facilities, equipment, material supplies, and services (except as may be expressly set forth in this contract as furnished by the Government) and otherwise do all things necessary for, or incident to, the performance of the service solutions specified in individually issued Task Orders.

Due to the nature of the anticipated requirements, resources may be required on a fluctuating schedule, less than full-time basis, or even required to provide additional hours/overtime (See B.4.1.6.1 Application of Overtime) in support of business needs. The unique aspect of this Contract is the need for a flexible workforce that can rapidly respond to fluctuating mission requirements.

Individual Task Orders can use any contract type, or a combination of the types of contract vehicles present in the Acquisition Management System (AMS) to meet the specific requirements being supplied under the Task Order.

If required by the individual Task Order, the Contractor must provide fixed, fully burdened Hourly Labor Rates for both Government site located (“on-site”) and Contractor site located (“off-site”). Rates must include, but are not limited to indirect labor, applicable indirect expenses, and profit. The rates must also include expenses for services in SIR SECTION C, Scope of Services, C.3 and C.4, such as contract execution, including, but not limited to the preparation of invoices, cost and technical proposals, and preparation of deliverables (IDIQ level and anticipated deliverables determined at the Task Order level). The Government will not recognize any additional costs which are not made a part of the fixed, fully burdened hourly rates for T&M Task Orders or are pre-approved on Not-to- Exceed CLINs (such as Other Direct Costs).

All terms and conditions contained in this document, (with the exception of Sections L and M, which will not be a part of any awarded contract), unless otherwise specified will be applicable to all Task Orders issued against this contract without any requirement to so state.

B.2 TYPE AND TERM OF CONTRACT

B.2.1 TYPE OF CONTRACT

ITIPSS is a multiple-award IDIQ contract. Specific tasks or work to be performed will be identified at the Task Order level.

This is a non-personal services contract, as defined in FAA Acquisition Management System 3.8.2. Inherently governmental functions, as described in AMS 3.2.1.3.12, are prohibited under this contract. The Government will neither supervise Contractor employees nor control the method by which the Contractor performs the required tasks.

The Contractor must manage its employees and guard against any actions that are of the nature of personal services or give the perception of personal services. The Contractor must notify the Contracting Officer immediately if it perceives any actions that constitute personal services. This contract must not be used to perform any inherently governmental functions.

B.2.2 TERM OF CONTRACT

The term of this IDIQ contract is ten (10) years, including one (1) 5-year base period, and one (1) 5-year option period. The Task Order period of performance will be specified within each individual Task Order. See SECTION F.2 of the Basic Contract.

B.3 MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM CONTRACT QUANTITIES

The minimum ordering obligation under each IDIQ contract issued under the ITIPPS program is $10,000.00 (inclusive of all direct costs, indirect costs, and profit/fee). The minimum ordering obligation under each IDIQ contract must be any quantity or combination of supplies and services equal to the minimum ordering amount. The Government shall meet the contract minimum through the issuance of Task Order(s) within each contract’s period of performance. The minimum quantity applies separately to each IDIQ contract in the ITIPSS Program. The Government has no obligation beyond the minimum ordering obligation specified and if necessary, will meet that obligation at the end of each IDIQ contract’s period of performance.

The maximum cumulative dollar ceiling value of all contracts awarded under this SIR, including any/all option(s) and/or extension(s), is $2,419,300,000 (inclusive of all direct costs, indirect costs, and profit/fee). That ceiling is cumulative among all IDIQ contracts.

Task Orders may be fully funded or incrementally funded in accordance with Acquisition Management System (AMS) clauses 3.3.1-37 and 3.3.1-39. The Contractor is required to notify the Contracting Officer when 75% of the obligated funds are depleted at the Task Order level in accordance with AMS clause 3.3.1-39.

B.4 CONTRACT LINE ITEM NUMBER (CLIN) STRUCTURE AND SCHEDULE

If required by the individual Task Order, the Contractor’s fixed, fully burdened hourly rates by ordering year will be used to price the Labor in individual Task Orders awarded against this IDIQ contract.

The first two digits of the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) identify the IDIQ contract year, as illustrated in Table B.4.1, Contract Line Item Number (First Two Digits).

Table B.4.3, PRICE SCHEDULE TABLES

At the Task Order level, when payment is made based on actual hours or costs incurred (e.g. cost-reimbursement arrangements and time-and-materials arrangements), the Government will not reimburse costs for cost elements for which there were no estimated costs prior to those costs being incurred. Exceptions, if any, must be issued in writing by the Contracting Officer.

B.4.1 TIME AND MATERIAL (T&M) SERVICES

Information Technology (IT) Mission Support Services labor rates set forth in the Pricing Schedule (Attachment B- 1, Price Schedule) reflect the fixed, fully burdened hourly rates for performance at Government on-site locations as well as Contractor off-site locations within the same geographic areas by ordering year. The fixed, fully burdened hourly rates in the Pricing Schedule (Attachment B-1, Price Schedule) apply to all labor hours, regardless of whether the labor hour is expended by the Contractor or by one of its subcontractors.

The fixed, fully burdened hourly rate includes profit, indirect costs (i.e. overhead, fringe, etc.) and any year-over-year escalation rate (i.e. the annual percentage change in the cost or price of services). Indirect costs include those costs associated with employees over and above gross compensation or payroll (e.g. payroll taxes and social security deductions, workers’ compensation required by the federal government or the state of performance, health insurance, paid time off, company training, vacation, and sick leave, pension contributions, and other benefits. The indirect cost component of the fixed, fully burdened hourly rates must also include expenses for services in SIR SECTION C.3 and C.4, including, but not limited to contract execution, the preparation of invoices, cost and technical proposals, and preparation of deliverables (IDIQ level and anticipated deliverables determined at the Task Order level). The rates must exclude direct travel and other direct costs (ODCs), which will be ordered separately, as needed in the Government’s discretion.

The Contractor’s indirect costs and profit, referred to in combination as the “fixed, fully burdened” or “wrap” rate, as well as any year-over-year escalation rate, must be built around the Contractor’s hourly rates to determine the fixed, fully burdened hourly rate (reference Attachment B-1, Price Schedule, Wrap Rate & Escalation Summary tab). The fixed, fully burdened hourly rates represent the maximum (ceiling) labor rates that the Government will consider and/or accept during the contract period of performance. At the Task Order level, the Contractor will be given an opportunity to propose rates that match or are lower than the respective not-to-exceed (NTE) rates.

The Contractor’s hourly pay rates for all Ordering Years must be in accordance with the Government-provided rates in Table B-1, Price Schedule, which are based on the United States (U.S.) Office of Personnel Management (OPM) General Schedule (GS) and Locality Pay Tables for GS (Grade 5 through Grade 15 (Step 1-10)) and the Executive Schedule (ES) (Level 5 through Level 1) found at http://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/. Hyperlinks to OPM’s pay scales by locality appropriate to this contract are listed in Table B.4.4 (Labor ID Number Structure). At the Task Order level, the Contractor must determine the positions that are and are not subject to the Service Contract Act and Service Contract Act Wage Determination.

B.4.1.1 T&M Labor ID Number

B.4.1.1.1 T&M Labor ID Number Usage

At the IDIQ level, Labor ID Number(s) provide a unique identifier for each individual GS/ES equivalent in each ordering year. At the time a Task Order is placed, as applicable, Labor ID Numbers will be utilized that will include a customized employee labor category title, position description, and GS/ES equivalent. Position descriptions may include, but not be limited to, minimum education and experience requirements.

The Contractor must provide the necessary personnel based on the requirements, including the number of labor hours at the applicable rate for the Labor ID Number specified in the Task Order. Pricing Tables in Attachment B-1 include the Labor ID Number by locality and GS/ES grade equivalencies applicable to future labor categories.

B.4.1.1.2 T&M Labor ID Number Structure

Table B.4.4, Labor ID Number Structure, provides a guide to the Labor ID Number naming convention that will be used at the IDIQ and Task Order level, as applicable. The first two digits of the Labor ID Number shall identify the program year that the work starts (as illustrated in Table B.4.1, Contract Line Item Number (First Two Digits)).

https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/salaries-wages/salary-tables/pdf/2021/LA_h.pdf

B.4.1.3 Productive Labor Hours

The Government will only pay for productive, direct labor hours, i.e. those hours authorized by the Contracting Officer and applicable Task Order(s), in performing work under this Contract. This does not include sick leave, holiday, vacations, jury duty, military leave, administrative leave, etc., but does include authorized travel (reference B.4.2, Travel).

B.4.1.4 Geographical Work Locations (Place of Performance)

The place(s) of performance will be specified in each individual Task Order. Support under this Contract may be required at or in reasonable proximity to FAA facilities or on-site Government locations. Services may be ordered at either, or both, Contractor facilities (“off-site”) and FAA facilities (“on-site”). The Contractor may be required to provide support personnel at FAA facilities in any of the FAA locations.

For the purposes of contract pricing, (reference Attachment B-1) localities are based on the following list of FAA locations and the cities in which they are located:

1. FAA Headquarters located in Washington, DC

2. Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center located in Oklahoma City, OK

3. William J. Hughes Technical Center located in Harbor Township/Atlantic City, NJ

4. Alaskan Region located in Anchorage, AK

5. Central Region located in Kansas City, MO

6. Eastern Region located in Jamaica, NY (New York City)

7. Great Lakes Region located in Des Plaines, Illinois

8. New England Region located in Burlington, MA

9. Northwest Mountain Region located in Des Moines, WA

10. Southern Region located in College Park, GA

11. Southwest Region located in Fort Worth, TX

12. Western-Pacific Region located in El Segundo, CA

13. “Rest of the United States” applies to work ordered in any location within the United States (U.S.) and all U.S.

territories not already listed above.

B.4.1.5 Government On-site vs. Contractor Off-site Rates

B.4.1.5.1 Government On-site Rates When performing at Government sites, the fixed, fully burdened hourly rates must take into account that the Government will provide adequate workspace, software, hardware, utilities, telephone, office supplies, janitorial services, and other FAA provided services necessary to meet the performance requirements.

B.4.1.5.2 Contractor Off-site Rates

When performing at a Contractor site, the fixed, fully burdened hourly rates must include applicable indirect costs for office space and all normal supplies and services required to support the work. The Contractor must provide the required space including all utilities, telephone, janitorial services, workstations, associated hardware and software, office equipment/furnishing(s) and supplies to meet the requirements of this Contract.

B.4.1.6 Excess/Overtime Hours

B.4.1.6.1 Application of Overtime

“Overtime” is defined as “time worked by a contractor’s non-exempt employee in excess of the 40 hours in a workweek.”

The Contractor agrees to perform this contract, so far as practicable, without using overtime, particularly as a regular employment practice, except when lower overall costs to the Government will result or when it is necessary to meet urgent program needs [reference AMS Procurement Guidance on overtime in T3.6.2 - Labor Laws]. Under this contract, the use of overtime should not generally increase labor hour costs to the FAA as ITIPPS contractor support personnel are normally salaried and considered “exempt.”

Contractor personnel who are classified as “exempt” require prior written approval by the Contracting Officer to work additional hours (in excess of 40 in a workweek). See SECTION C.4.2.15 - Excess/Overtime Hours Request.

For those Contractor personnel who are classified as “non-exempt” and subject to the requirements of the Service Contract Labor Standards (formerly the Service Contract Act), the requirement of overtime efforts under this contract will result in increased labor hour costs for the overtime efforts requested. In these cases, overtime for ”non-exempt” personnel must be approved in advance, in writing, by the Contracting Officer so as to validate and justify the need for these additional costs. See SECTION C.4.2.15 Excess/Overtime Hours Request.

The Contractor is fully responsible for compliance with applicable labor laws and must not permit any employee to work overtime when the employer will be required to pay the employee premium in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (e.g., a non-exempt employee must receive overtime pay for hours worked in excess of 40 in a work week of at least one and one-half times their regular rates of pay or overtime pay based on this contract for the GS equivalents) without prior, written approval. The only individual authorized to require and/or approve overtime shall be the Contracting Officer.

The Contractor must review all employees in accordance with Section 13(a)(1) of the FLSA as defined by Regulations, 29 CFR Part 541 to determine executive, administrative, professional and other applicable exemptions from overtime pay.

For fixed-price arrangements (i.e., Task Orders or line items in a Task Order), the Government will not pay for overtime.

B.4.1.6.2 Calculation of Overtime for Non-Exempt Contractor Employees

Overtime pay, when applicable, must be calculated in accordance with applicable Federal policies and regulations.

For contractor employees with rates of basic pay equal to or less than the rate of basic pay for the GS-10, Step 1 equivalent, the overtime hourly rate is the employee's hourly rate of basic pay multiplied by 1.5.

For contractor employees with rates of basic pay greater than the basic pay for the GS-10, Step 1 equivalent, the overtime hourly rate is the greater of: 1) the hourly rate of basic pay for the GS-10, Step 1 equivalent, multiplied by 1.5, or 2) the contractor employee's hourly rate of basic pay.

These hourly overtime pay limitations do not apply to prevailing rate (wage) employees or to FLSA overtime pay.

The Contractor must submit approval in accordance with SIR SECTION C.4.2.15, Excess/Overtime Hours Request.

B.4.1.7 Task Order Incentives/Disincentives

The Government reserves the right to include, at the Task Order level and on a Task Order-by-Task Order basis, incentives and/or disincentives designed to obtain specific Task Order objectives by establishing objective, reasonable and attainable targets, and by establishing specific incentives/disincentives (including but not limited to monetary incentives/disincentives) to motivate Contractor performance and encourage efficiency. These incentives/disincentives may include any kind allowable under the AMS, and may include cost incentives/disincentives based on Service Level Agreements relating to quality of performance and/or performance requirements or metrics.

B.4.2 TRAVEL

The Contractor will be reimbursed for allocable, allowable, and reasonable pre-approved travel expenses in accordance with AMS clause 3.3.2-1 “FAA Cost Principles” and 3.3.2-2 “Reimbursement for Travel and

Subsistence.” Travel and per diem reimbursement rates are located at: http://www.gsa.gov/perdiem. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Contractor will be reimbursed for approved travel under a Cost Reimbursable (CR) CLIN in accordance with AMS Procurement Guidance T.3.3.2 “Contract Cost Principles.”

The Government may elect to increase or decrease these values at its discretion during the performance of the contract. Travel must be directly related to and required for performance of this contract. Travel dates, times, and locations must be coordinated with the government and pre-authorized in writing by the FAA Functional Lead overseeing the travel, the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR) and the Contracting Officer unless otherwise specified in writing by the Contracting Officer at the Task Order level.

The Contractor must include a breakout of all authorized travel expenses as an attachment to its invoices. The Contractor must submit a pre-approved travel authorization with its invoices (reference SECTION C- SCOPE OF SERVICES, C.4.2.13 “Travel and Training Authorization Request”).

Administrative support (coordination of travel arrangements, etc.) will be the responsibility of the Contractor.

Travel costs must not be burdened with any indirect costs unless specifically allowable in accordance with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices at the rate established at the IDIQ level. In no event shall travel costs be burdened with fee/profit.

When local travel between the Contractor employee’s regular place of performance and other locations is specifically authorized by the COR, transportation expenses shall be allowable costs under this contract. For purposes of this clause, local travel means travel within a 50 mile radius of the Contractor employee’s regular place of performance and does not include daily commuting or associated costs. Costs associated with employee commuting are not reimbursable under this contract.

For travel where use of personal automobile has been specifically authorized, reimbursement must be computed based on actual miles travelled from starting point to destination. Other related miscellaneous expenses, such as tolls and parking fees, incurred in the performance of tasks authorized under this contract, will be reimbursed. Car rentals require advance approval of the COR and will be authorized only when consistent with good business practice.

Allowable costs must not exceed the actual cost of renting a compact automobile (a maximum of one for four Contractor personnel), unless extenuating circumstances (e.g., excess baggage) require other arrangements and subsequent COR approval is obtained.

The Government will reimburse the Contractor for Contractor employee’s travel time to or from other authorized work locations; except that for labor categories which are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FSLA), a reimbursement will be allowed only for travel during the employee’s regular working hours. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for time spent in stand down or temporary layover for the convenience of the Contractor.

B.4.3 OTHER DIRECT COSTS

Depending on the unique nature of a Task Order placed against this IDIQ, a Task Order may require vastly different types of solutions services, and/or resources expended as direct costs. Task Orders may include Other Direct Cost (ODC) Cost Reimbursable CLINs and/or Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) CLIN for the acquisition of ODCs defined as commercial items.

The Contractor’s ability to obtain the resources treated as ODCs may be critical to Task Order performance. Critical elements merit special consideration to assure that the Contractor fully understands contract requirements. ODCs will be defined at the Task Order level and may include, but are not limited to, special tooling, computer-related service costs, licenses, and professional and consultant services costs deemed necessary to complete the tasks. ODCs exclude travel costs, which are billed under a separate CLIN.

The Contractor may include a fair and reasonable rate/burden (general and administrative costs) on ODCs in accordance with the Contractor’s established accounting practices, but no profit/fee is allowed. The Contractor’s ceiling percentage rate to be applied to this CLIN for the duration of the IDIQ period of performance appears in Attachment B-1 in the tab titled “G&A Rate (ODCs).” The rate must not exceed ten (10) percent. The Contractor will be reimbursed in accordance with AMS clause 3.3.2-1 “FAA Cost Principles.”

The Offeror must justify and fully support the need for any ODC to complete Contract tasks at the Task Order level.

When requested by the Government, ODCs may be proposed using a cost estimating relationship and must include statements of assumptions. The Government may conduct fact-finding conversations with the Contractor prior to awarding ODCs. The Government will analyze proposed ODCs. The Government’s analysis is not bound by the estimating methods used by the Contractor. The Government determines the reasonableness and allowability of the costs according to Government cost accounting standards. Reasonableness will be determined by the Government’s assessment that the proposed costs are crucial to complete the contract, affordable, consistent with the Contractor’s estimating assumptions, and inclusive of all feasible costs estimated to complete the work.

If the Government accepts the proposed ODC, the Contracting Officer will document that acceptance. If the Government does not accept the proposed ODC, the Contracting Officer will document concerns with the proposal and deny, or, develop a pre-negotiation position for costs covered by the estimate. The Government may conduct negotiations with the Contractor prior to awarding ODCs. No costs shall be incurred without explicit written approval from the Contracting Officer written approval should be obtained via the ITIPSS process in SECTION C.4.2.12 “Other Direct Costs Approval Request.”

B.4.4 FIRM-FIXED PRICE (FFP) SERVICES

When it is determined that using Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contracting for Information Technology (IT) Mission Support Services and/or Deliverables is in the Government’s best interest, CLIN X004 will be utilized. FFP CLINs will include pricing for the services and/or deliverables described in the Task Order, and will include all prime and subcontractor labor; indirect costs such as expenses for contract management/overhead and general and administrative costs, including the preparation of invoices, cost and technical proposals, contract status reports, etc.;

and profit. FFP pricing must exclude direct travel and other direct costs (ODCs), which will be ordered separately, as needed in the Government’s discretion.
