(C) Are □ are not □ presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision; and

(D) Have □, have not □, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied. Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(1) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if a pending administrative or judicial challenge remains. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(2) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(ii) The Offeror has □ has not □, within a 3-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts terminated for default by any Federal agency.

(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the Government will consider the certification in connection with a determination of the Offeror's responsibility.

Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror nonresponsible.

Document Title

Page

5/12/2026

(d) This provision does not require establishment of a system of records in order to render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a). The knowledge and information of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making award. If the Government later determines that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

(End of provision)

FAR 52.209-11 Representation by Corporations Regarding Delinquent Tax Liability or a Felony Conviction under any Federal Law (May 2026 DEV)

(2) Was convicted of a felony criminal violation under any Federal law within the preceding 24 months, where the awarding agency is aware of the conviction, unless an agency has considered suspension or debarment of the corporation and made a determination that this action is not necessary to protect the interests of the Government.

1. VOLUME I - PRICE PROPOSAL – The Contracting Officer (CO) will evaluate Offeror’s proposal for price reasonableness and completeness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed (or undervalue) that work which would be incurred, by a prudent person, in the conduct of competitive business.

Volume I shall include:

a. Acknowledgement of any and all amendments to this RFQ and a statement that you consent to all terms of this RFQ.

b. A price schedule unit and extended prices inserted into the table listed in “Section B: Price Schedule” above. All dollar amounts proposed must be rounded to the nearest dollar by each offeror. If any rounding is overlooked, the government will round all dollars to the nearest dollar. See the below Basis for Award portion for additional information.

c. FAR provision 52.240-90, “Security Prohibitions and Exclusions Representations and Certifications” must be completed and returned along with your proposal.

Note that registration in the online representations and certifications program at htttps://www.sam.gov also meets this requirement and can be provided in lieu of

FAR 52.240-90.

VOLUME II – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL – The technical proposal must be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity and coherence are very important. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the government’s requirements, but rather must provide convincing rational to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors must assume the government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities, work processes, facilities, and experience. The government will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. See the below Basis for Contract Award portion for additional information.

Volume II shall include:

i. A Technical Approach narrative that addresses, at a minimum: the construction approach, risk management, logistical requirements, environmental compliance, safety, quality control, and resolution of potential issues and challenges.

ii. A Key Project Management/Technical Support description that addresses key personnel, teaming partners, and/or subcontractors. Include organizational charts identifying key roles, the responsibilities, and resumes of those personnel. Limited to 3 pages per resume, identify qualifications & experience.

iii. A Project Schedule that includes an execution schedule outlining completion within the required period of performance. Capture all definable features of work, execution timelines, and highlight critical path items. Demonstrate coordination of work activities, phasing, and ensure the project will be delivered on times and on budget.

The offeror shall specify their proposed period of performance in number of calendar days. The schedule may be prepared using the attached “IA Form C113 Progress Schedule”, or Microsoft scheduling software or equivalent. If using other than Form C113, at a minimum all information required by Form C113 must be included.

iv. Any exceptions or contingencies to the work described in the SOW shall be listed in full detail.

SECTION M – EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

1. Basis for Contract Award

This is a competitive lowest price technically acceptable source selection process to select the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price. The government intends to award a single task order contract as a result of this solicitation. The government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the offeror who provides the lowest price technically acceptable offer to the Bureau of Indian Education as determined by following the evaluation procedures described herein. Award will only be made to an offeror who is deemed responsible according to FAR Part 9 (May 2026), as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements.

2. Evaluation

Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the evaluation factors listed below using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable method. That is, price will be evaluated first. Only the lowest price offer will be examined for technical acceptability. If the lowest price offer is technically acceptable, award will be made to that offeror and no other offers will be reviewed for technical acceptability. If the lowest price offer is not technically acceptable, the second lowest offer will be reviewed for technically acceptability. The government will proceed in this fashion until an offer is determined to be technically acceptable. Therefore, some offers that do not present the lowest price may not be reviewed for technical acceptability.

The technical area will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis. The following areas will be evaluated:

• Price – Total price reasonableness and completeness. The Government reserves its right to evaluate for price realism.

• Technical – (acceptable/unacceptable)

- Technical Approach

- Key Project Management/Technical Support

- Project Schedule

PRICE EVALUATION

1. Total Price: This criterion evaluates the overall price to the Government and determines if the proposed price is realistic, reasonable, and complete. Any inconsistencies between proposed performance and price must clearly be justified. The burden of credibility of price rests solely with the offeror. The following evaluation criteria apply:

i. Reasonableness: The offeror's proposal will be reviewed to determine if the proposed price is reasonable (see FAR 15.404-1(b)).

ii. Completeness: Price proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror provided sufficient data as required by the solicitation and the Contracting Officer during the evaluation.

iii. Price Realism: The Government reserves its right to evaluate price realism. Price realism may be used to determine if the proposed price is unrealistically low in relation to the Government's Independent Cost Estimate, market conditions evidenced by other competitive proposals received, and the offeror's technical / management approach, such that there is a risk the offeror does not understand the procurement’s technical requirements or may not satisfactorily perform at the proposed price.

TECHNICAL EVALUATION

1. The Technical area will be evaluated on an “acceptable” or “unacceptable” basis.

2. The Technical Evaluation Team will rate any technical proposals that are evaluated according to the chart listed. All elements a-d must be met in order for the offer to be rated Acceptable.

DEFINITION RATING

Passes (or meets) minimum standard requirements Acceptable Fails to meet minimum standard requirements Unacceptable

i. Technical Standards:

(a) Technical Approach: The minimum standard is met by a narrative that addresses all of the elements listed in Section L with a realistic and achievable approach that will effectively accomplish the work described in the Statement of Work. Logical inconsistencies, discrepancies between the approach and the Statement of Work, unrealistic or unachievable strategies, and factual errors will result in an unacceptable rating.

(b) Key Project Management/Technical Support: The minimum standard is met when the proposal addresses all of the elements listed in Section L with a qualified team of key personnel, teaming partners, and/or subcontractors that collectively can accomplish the work described in the Statement of Work. Proposal of unqualified personnel, illogical teaming structures, or insufficient resources to accomplish the work will result in an unacceptable rating.

(c) Project Schedule: The offeror is required to provide a Progress Schedule that is complete, proper and accurate. The standard is met if the contractor addresses all elements required by the form properly (whether using Form C113 or an alternative), properly breaks out appropriate major elements of work, describes work elements in sufficient detail, accurately reflects a reasonable timeline (task duration), logically sequences major work elements reflecting a sound project approach and understanding of major project tasks, work element percentages of work values are accurate, reasonable and balanced, and overall project duration is within the specified maximum performance period duration (i.e.120 calendar days) or sooner.

The lowest priced technically acceptable offer whose price is determined to be realistic, reasonable and complete based on the above criteria will be determined the best value to the Government for award.
