H-6 USE AND REPORTING OF CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE INFORMATION (DEC 2015)

(DOI-AAAP-0050) Notice to Contractors - CPARS (DEC 2015

NOTICE TO CONTRACTORS

Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (December 2015)

1) FAR 42.1502 directs all Federal agencies to collect past performance information on contracts. The Department of the Interior (DOI) has implemented the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to comply with this regulation. One or more past performance evaluations will be conducted in order to record your contract performance as required by FAR 42.15.

2) The past performance evaluation process is a totally paperless process using CPARS. CPARS is a web-based system that allows for electronic processing of the performance evaluation report. Once the report is processed, it is available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

3) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer (CO) with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm's past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 30 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official (AO). Information in the report must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

4) When your Contractor Representative(s) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS is available at https://www.cpars.gov/.

5) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the AO will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation, and the report will be accessible at https://www.cpars.gov/.

a) Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the 6.evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

b) Your comments should focus on objective facts in the AO's narrative and should a)provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance.

c) All information provided should be reviewed for accuracy prior to submission.

d) If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating "No comment" in the space provided, and then selecting "Accept the Ratings and Close the Evaluation".

e) Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR. On day 15, the evaluation will become available in PPIRS-RC marked as "Pending" with or without comments and whether or not it has been closed.

f) If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: "The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment."

6) The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

a) Protect the evaluation as source selection information. After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the CO for instructions.

b) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

c) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.

7) If you wish to discuss a past performance evaluation, you should request a meeting in writing to the CO no later than seven days following your receipt of the evaluation. The meeting will be held in person or via telephone or other means during your 60-day review period.

8) A copy of the completed past performance evaluation will be available in CPARS for your viewing and for Government use supporting source selection actions after it has been finalized.

(End of notice)

H-7 SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: FACILITY ACCESS AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

SECURITY REQUIREMENTS: FACILITY ACCESS and INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (AUG 2016)

(a) All Contractor employees must have an "Enter on Duty" (EOD) approval issued by the Bureau Personnel Security Office (PSO) before they begin performing work on any Bureau contract. The Contractor must ensure that all employees requesting an EOD are citizens of the United States of America, or an alien who has been lawfully admitted for permanent residence or employment (indicated by immigration status) as evidenced by Immigration and Naturalization Service documentation and the employee must have resided in the United States for a minimum of 3 years. The EOD may be issued in advance of a completed Background Investigation and may be rescinded by the PSO at any time. However, all contractors who require network access are required to complete the identity proofing process, and must be able to obtain a successfully adjudicated National Criminal History Check (NCHC) and National Agency Check with Inquiries (NACI) or higher to stay on the contract.

(b) Starting Work - Contractor employees with an approved EOD may begin performing unsupervised work on Bureau contracts. To remain on the contract, the Contractor employees will need a completed favorable Background Investigation.

(c) Rescission of EOD - The PSO may rescind the EOD at any time. This may occur as the result of additional information obtained or the final results of the background investigation.

(d) Background Investigation - Contractor employees who will have unsupervised access to Bureau facilities, access to the Department of the Interior (DOI) information technology (IT) systems or DOI data, or will develop custom applications, must have a favorably adjudicated background investigation from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). Existing clearances at the same or higher level are acceptable upon the PSO's review and approval. If the employee does not already have a complete investigation, they must apply for one. The employee may begin work with an EOD, but must receive a favorable background investigation to continue working on the contract. The background investigation includes obtaining fingerprints through a USAccess Credentialing Center for an FBI criminal history and a credit report. Once the investigation has been scheduled by OPM, the Bureau will receive advance reports. If those reports are favorable, the Bureau PSO will issue the EOD. The type of background investigation required is based on the risk/sensitivity level designation. Citizenship requirements and guidance for determining the appropriate type of background investigation required for the designated risk/sensitivity level are contained in DOI Departmental Manual (DM) Part 441. The DM is available on the Internet at http://elips.doi.gov/app_home/index.cfm?fuseaction=home.

(e) Electronic Questionnaire for Investigations Processing (e-QIP)'s The Bureau uses the e-QIP for all background investigations or reinvestigations. To initiate an investigation, the Contractor, in collaboration with the COR, will complete an e-QIP Request Form. This request form is available through the COR. The COR will submit the completed request form to the Bureau PSO. The PSO will enter the information into e-QIP to either establish a new applicant profile or determine if an existing investigation that meets Bureau requirements is on file. The PSO will then contact the applicant to provide additional information and instructions. Generally, the Contractor is required to complete the following forms:

e-QIP application (on-line)

Fair Credit Release

OF-306

Fingerprints via USAccess Credentialing Centers

The Contractor shall complete the required background investigation forms and submit them to the PSO. The PSO shall determine if individuals meet the required background investigation standards and citizenship requirements, and then make a suitability determination. Minimum standards used in suitability determinations are contained in the DOI Departmental Manual Part 441. The Government will pay for any background investigations required for contractor employees. If the Contractor employee's background investigation is returned as unfavorable, the Government reserves the right to request reimbursement of the actual costs for the investigation from the Contractor.

(f) Reinvestigation - Contractor employees occupying high risk public trust positions must be reinvestigated every 5 years.

A reinvestigation may be initiated prior to the normal periodic reinvestigation schedule when an individual's continued ability to meet the minimum background investigation standards is in question. The electronic fingerprints on file in the USAccess system will be electronically submitted to OPM for the reinvestigation. The PSO shall review the records and documentation and make the suitability determination.

(g) Disputes - In the event of a disagreement between the Contractor and the Government concerning the suitability of a particular employee to perform work under this contract, the Government has the right of final determination.

Determinations under this requirement are subject to the Disputes Clause, FAR 52.233-1. Failure of the Contractor to comply with the requirements of this clause could constitute grounds for termination for default.

(h) Physical Security Requirements - DOI Access Cards.

(1) Contractor employees must have a DOI Access Card before being given unsupervised access to a Government facility.

(2) To gain unsupervised access to Government facilities, Contractor employees must present their DOI Access Card for examination by the security guard or electronically authenticate their DOI Access Card, as required.

Contractor employees must keep their DOI Access Card in a shielded card holder, and visually display the card at all times while in the facility. Refusal or repeated neglect to display the DOI Access Card may result in limiting Contractor employee's access to Government facilities or revoking of authorized access.

(3) When a Contractor employee is no longer working under this award, the Contractor is responsible for returning all DOI Access Cards, keys, and other Government property issued to that employee. The Contactor shall coordinate all returns with the COR. The COR is responsible for ensuring the Contractor complies with these requirements. However, failure by the Contractor to comply with these requirements may result in the Contractor's liability for all costs associated with correcting any resultant breech in building security.

(i) Issuance & Maintenance - DOI Access Cards

(1) Process: To obtain a DOI Access Card the COR will use the online DOIAccess System to initiate the access request. Contractor employees will receive email notifications to enroll at a USAccess Credentialing Center with two forms of identification, and after adjudication, a second email notification to pick up and activate their DOI Access Card. The Contractor employee shall schedule an enrollment appointment at a USAccess center at least two weeks prior to the targeted EOD.

(2) Contractor Responsibilities: Contractor employees must complete actions in a timely manner to prepare for on-boarding and access to DOI network resources. The Contractor shall allow their personnel sufficient time to schedule and attend an enrollment appointment at the USAccess center prior to the contract start date. If the Contractor employee's DOI Access Card becomes lost or stolen, the contractor employee shall notify the COR immediately to request a new DOI Access Card.

(3) COR Responsibilities: The COR (or designated individual) and Contractor shall maintain a listing of all Contractor employees who received a DOI Access Card, the date the card was issued, the date the electronic certificates expire (3 years from issue date), and the date the DOI Access Card expires (5 years from issue date). If the Contractor employee's DOI Access Card or certificates will expire before the contract is completed, the COR (or designated individual) and Contractor is responsible for ensuring that the Contractor employee visits a USAccess center to update certificates on the existing card or obtain a new DOI Access Card. No later than one week prior to the DOI Access Card's certificate or card expiration, the COR (or designated individual) shall notify the Contractor that DOI Access Card actions are required. The COR (or designated individual) and the Contractor shall update their listing to reflect the new issue date, certificate expiration date and card expiration date.

(i) Information Technology Security Requirements.

(1) Training - If contractor employees require access to any DOI/IT systems, the Contractor shall ensure its employees complete all Bureau/DOI required IT security training. The Contractor's employees shall complete this training before being granted access to Bureau/DOI data or being issued network access. The current training requirements are: (i) annual end-user IT Security Awareness, (ii) annual IT Resources Rules of Behavior, and (iii) annual Role-Based Security training for IT professionals. The Contractor shall comply with all Bureau/DOI IT security training requirements in effect during contract performance. The COR will notify the Contractor of all Bureau mandatory IT training. The Contractor shall submit training completion certificates to the COR for all required training. Failure to meet this training requirement may result in removal of the contractor employee from the contract. The Bureau will determine if the contractor can later return to the contract.

(2) Access to Contractor's Facilities for IT audit purposes - The Contractor shall afford Bureau and the Department of the Interior Office of Inspector General access to the Contractor's and subcontractor's facilities, installations, operations, documentation, databases, and personnel used in performance of the contract. Access shall be provided to the extent required to carry out a program of IT inspection, investigation, and audit that will safeguard against threats and hazards to the integrity, availability, and confidentiality of Government data or to the function of computer systems operated on behalf of the Government and to preserve evidence of computer crime. If the Contractor questions the Government employee's right to access its facilities, it should contact the CO for resolution.

(3) Contractor Location - Custom software development and outsourced operations shall be located in the United States to the maximum extent practical. If such services are proposed to be performed abroad, the Contractor shall provide an acceptable security plan that addresses the mitigation of problems related to communication, control, and protecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of IT systems and information.

(b) The goals for minority and female participation, expressed in percentage terms for the Contractor's aggregate workforce in each trade on all construction work in the covered area, are as follows:

Goals for minority participation for each trade

6.3%

Goals for female participation for each trade

6.9%

These goals are applicable to all the Contractor's construction work performed in the covered area. If the Contractor performs construction work in a geographical area located outside of the covered area, the Contractor shall apply the goals established for the geographical area where the work is actually performed. Goals are published periodically in the Federal Register in notice form, and these notices may be obtained from any Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs office.

I-25 52.225-9 Buy American - Construction Materials. (NOV 2021)

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause-

Commercially available off-the-shelf (COTS) item- (1) Means any item of supply (including construction material) that is-

(i) A commercial product (as defined in paragraph (1) of the definition of "commercial product" at Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 2.101);

(ii) Sold in substantial quantities in the commercial marketplace; and

(iii) Offered to the Government, under a contract or subcontract at any tier, without modification, in the same form in which it is sold in the commercial marketplace; and

(2) Does not include bulk cargo, as defined in 46 U.S.C. 40102(4), such as agricultural products and petroleum products.

Construction material means an article, material, or supply brought to the construction site by the Contractor or a subcontractor for incorporation into the building or work. The term also includes an item brought to the site preassembled from articles, materials, or supplies. However, emergency life safety systems, such as emergency lighting, fire alarm, and audio evacuation systems, that are discrete systems incorporated into a public building or work and that are produced as complete systems, are evaluated as a single and distinct construction material regardless of when or how the individual parts or components of those systems are delivered to the construction site. Materials purchased directly by the Government are supplies, not construction material.

Cost of components means-

(1) For components purchased by the Contractor, the acquisition cost, including transportation costs to the place of incorporation into the construction material (whether or not such costs are paid to a domestic firm), and any applicable duty (whether or not a duty-free entry certificate is issued); or

(2) For components manufactured by the Contractor, all costs associated with the manufacture of the component, including transportation costs as described in paragraph (1) of this definition, plus allocable overhead costs, but excluding profit. Cost of components does not include any costs associated with the manufacture of the construction material.

Domestic construction material means-

(1) For construction material that does not consist wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both-

(i) An unmanufactured construction material mined or produced in the United States; or

(ii) A construction material manufactured in the United States, if-

(A) The cost of its components mined, produced, or manufactured in the United States exceeds 55 percent of the cost of all its components. Components of foreign origin of the same class or kind for which nonavailability determinations have been made are treated as domestic. Components of unknown origin are treated as foreign; or

(B) The construction material is a COTS item; or

(2) For construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, a construction material manufactured in the United States if the cost of foreign iron and steel constitutes less than 5 percent of the cost of all components used in such construction material. The cost of foreign iron and steel includes but is not limited to the cost of foreign iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the construction material and a good faith estimate of the cost of all foreign iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners. Iron or steel components of unknown origin are treated as foreign. If the construction material contains multiple components, the cost of all the materials used in such construction material is calculated in accordance with the definition of "cost of components".

Fastener means a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. Examples of fasteners are nuts, bolts, pins, rivets, nails, clips, and screws.

Foreign construction material means a construction material other than a domestic construction material.

Foreign iron and steel means iron or steel products not produced in the United States. Produced in the United States means that all manufacturing processes of the iron or steel must take place in the United States, from the initial melting stage through the application of coatings, except metallurgical processes involving refinement of steel additives. The origin of the elements of the iron or steel is not relevant to the determination of whether it is domestic or foreign.

Predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both means that the cost of the iron and steel content exceeds 50 percent of the total cost of all its components. The cost of iron and steel is the cost of the iron or steel mill products (such as bar, billet, slab, wire, plate, or sheet), castings, or forgings utilized in the manufacture of the product and a good faith estimate of the cost of iron or steel components excluding COTS fasteners.

Steel means an alloy that includes at least 50 percent iron, between 0.02 and 2 percent carbon, and may include other elements.

United States means the 50 States, the District of Columbia, and outlying areas.

(b) Domestic preference. (1) This clause implements 41 U.S.C. chapter 83, Buy American, by providing a preference for domestic construction material. In accordance with 41 U.S.C. 1907, the domestic content test of the Buy American statute is waived for construction material that is a COTS item, except that for construction material that consists wholly or predominantly of iron or steel or a combination of both, the domestic content test is applied only to the iron and steel content of the construction materials, excluding COTS fasteners. (See FAR 12.505(a)(2)). The Contractor shall use only domestic construction material in performing this contract, except as provided in paragraphs (b)(2) and (b)(3) of this clause.

(2) This requirement does not apply to information technology that is a commercial product or to the construction materials or components listed by the Government as follows:

[Contracting Officer to list applicable excepted materials or indicate "none"]

(3) The Contracting Officer may add other…
