i. This definition of AI encompasses, but is not limited to, the AI technical subfields of machine learning (including deep learning as well as supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised approaches), reinforcement learning, transfer learning, and generative AI.

ii. This definition of AI does not include robotic process automation or other systems whose behavior is defined only by human-defined rules or that learn solely by repeating an observed practice exactly as it was conducted.

iii. For this definition, no system should be considered too simple to qualify as covered AI due to a lack of technical complexity (e.g., the smaller number of parameters in a model, the type of model, or the amount of data used for training purposes).

iv. This definition includes systems that are fully autonomous, partially autonomous, and not autonomous, and it includes systems that operate both with and without human oversight.

(b) Disclosure of AI Use in Contract Performance. When the Contractor or any of its subcontractors, vendors, or agents intends to incorporate AI into the performance of the contract, the Contractor shall provide the following disclosures in its offer:

Disclose the intended use of AI and provide a description of the AI system or capability and its purpose within the contract scope; specify whether the system was developed internally, acquired from a third party, or is publicly/commercially available;

indicate if the AI system will process PII or be used in ways that may affect privacy, civil rights, safety, or public interaction; detail the governance, oversight, and human-in-the-loop mechanisms to be applied; and describe any applicable testing, evaluation, risk management, or bias mitigation measures that have been or will be implemented.

These disclosures must be updated promptly to the Contracting Officer during the period of performance upon any new use of AI or significant material change to the existing AI capability, its functionality, its use case, or its data inputs/outputs during the life of the contract.

The Government reserves the right to review the proposed AI use, request additional safeguards or controls, and/or disallow its use if it is deemed inconsistent with agency policy, legal requirements, or federal AI governance standards.

The following factors will be used to evaluate offers:

(b) Options (if applicable). The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. The evaluation of options does not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) Notice of award. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the

Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(End of provision)

The Government intends to establish a single (or multiple) contract award(s) that includes a one-year base year plus four (4), 12-month options and potentially extending services for up to

6 months, resulting from this solicitation to the responsible contractor whose quote conforms to the solicitation’s instructions and requirements and represents the best value to the Government, price and other factors considered as shown in the solicitation. Quotes that do not conform to the instructions and requirements of the solicitation shall be deemed technically unacceptable and no further consideration shall be given unless the Contracting Officer determines that requesting revised quotes is deemed advantageous to the Government.

The Government intends to award a contract/purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offeror/quoter who is a qualified responsible contractor. The evaluation process shall include the following:

a. Compliance Review. The Government will perform a review of quotations received to determine compliance with the instructions and terms of the solicitation. The Government shall reject as unacceptable quotations which do not conform to the solicitation instructions and requirements. This review does not restrict the Government from requested revised quotations as provided under FAR Part 12.

b. Technical Acceptability. Technical acceptability will include a review of past performance and experience as defined in Section 3, along with any required technical information provided by the offeror with its /quote submission.

c. Price Evaluation. The lowest price will be determined by multiplying the offered prices times the estimated quantities in “Prices – Continuation of SF-1449, Block 23”, and arriving at a grand total, including all options. This includes pricing information for potentially exercising the 6-month option to extend services (FAR Clause 52.217-8). The Government reserves the right to reject price quotes that are unreasonably low or high.

d. Responsibility Determination. The Government will determine prospective contractor responsibility by analyzing whether the apparent successful offeror complies with the requirements of FAR Subpart 9.104-1 general standards, including:
