LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION (APR 2014)

(a) Contract line item(s) TBD[Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] is/are incrementally funded. For this/these item(s), the sum of $ TBD[Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] of the total price is presently available for payment and allotted to this contract. An allotment schedule is set forth in paragraph (j) of this clause.

(b) For item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor agrees to perform up to the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including reimbursement in the event of termination of those item(s) for the Government's convenience, approximates the total amount currently allotted to the contract. The Contractor is not authorized to continue work on those item(s) beyond that point. The Government will not be obligated in any event to reimburse the Contractor in excess of the amount allotted to the contract for those item(s) regardless of anything to the contrary in the clause entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government." As used in this clause, the total amount payable by the Government in the event of termination of applicable contract line item(s) for convenience includes costs, profit, and estimated termination settlement costs for those item(s).

(c) Notwithstanding the dates specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause, the Contractor will notify the Contracting Officer in writing at least ninety days prior to the date when, in the Contractor's best judgment, the work will reach the point at which the total amount payable by the Government, including any cost for termination for convenience, will approximate 85 percent of the total amount then allotted to the contract for performance of the applicable item(s). The notification will state (1) the estimated date when that point will be reached and (2) an estimate of additional funding, if any, needed to continue performance of applicable line items up to the next scheduled date for allotment of funds identified in paragraph

(j) of this clause, or to a mutually agreed upon substitute date. The notification will also advise the Contracting Officer of the estimated amount of additional funds that will be required for the timely performance of the item(s) funded pursuant to this clause, for a subsequent period as may be specified in the allotment schedule in paragraph (j) of this clause or otherwise agreed to by the parties. If after such notification additional funds are not allotted by the date identified in the Contractor's notification, or by an agreed substitute date, the Contracting Officer will terminate any item(s) for which additional funds have not been allotted, pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(d) When additional funds are allotted for continued performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the parties will agree as to the period of contract performance which will be covered by the funds. The provisions of paragraphs (b) through (d) of this clause will apply in like manner to the additional allotted funds and agreed substitute date, and the contract will be modified accordingly.

(e) If, solely by reason of failure of the Government to allot additional funds, by the dates indicated below, in amounts sufficient for timely performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause, the Contractor incurs additional costs or is delayed in the performance of the work under this contract and if additional funds are allotted, an equitable adjustment will be made in the price or prices (including appropriate target, billing, and ceiling prices where applicable) of the item(s), or in the time of delivery, or both. Failure to agree to any such equitable adjustment hereunder will be a dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause entitled "Disputes."

(f) The Government may at any time prior to termination allot additional funds for the performance of the contract line item(s) identified in paragraph (a) of this clause.

(g) The termination provisions of this clause do not limit the rights of the Government under the clause entitled "Default." The provisions of this clause are limited to the work and allotment of funds for the contract line item(s) set forth in paragraph (a) of this clause. This clause no longer applies once the contract is fully funded except with regard to the rights or obligations of the parties concerning equitable adjustments negotiated under paragraphs (d) and (e) of this clause.

(h) Nothing in this clause affects the right of the Government to terminate this contract pursuant to the clause of this contract entitled "Termination for Convenience of the Government."

(i) Nothing in this clause shall be construed as authorization of voluntary services whose acceptance is otherwise prohibited under 31 U.S.C. 1342.

(j) The parties contemplate that the Government will allot funds to this contract in accordance with the following schedule:

On execution of contract $ TBD (month) (day), (year) ____ $ TBD (month) (day), (year) ____ $ TBD (month) (day), (year) ____ $ TBD (End of clause)

2021-05

PROHIBITION ON THE ACQUISITION OF COVERED DEFENSE TELECOMMUNICATIONS

EQUIPMENT OR SERVICES-REPRESENTATION (MAY 2021)

The Offeror is not required to complete the representation in this provision if the Offeror has represented in the provision at 252.204-7016, Covered Defense Telecommunications Equipment or Services-Representation, that it "does not provide covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as a part of its offered products or services to the Government in the performance of any contract, subcontract, or other contractual instrument."

(a) Definitions. "Covered defense telecommunications equipment or services," "covered mission," "critical technology," and "substantial or essential component," as used in this provision, have the meanings given in the 252.204-7018 clause, Prohibition on the Acquisition of Covered Defense Telecommunications Equipment or Services, of this solicitation.

(b) Prohibition. Section 1656 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Pub. L. 115-91) prohibits agencies from procuring or obtaining, or extending or renewing a contract to procure or obtain, any equipment, system, or service to carry out covered missions that uses covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system.

(c) Procedures. The Offeror shall review the list of excluded parties in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://www.sam.gov for entities that are excluded when providing any equipment, system, or service to carry out covered missions that uses covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as a substantial or essential component of any system, or as critical technology as part of any system, unless a waiver is granted.

(d) Representation. If in its annual representations and certifications in SAM the Offeror has represented in paragraph (c) of the provision at 252.204-7016, Covered Defense Telecommunications Equipment or Services-Representation, that it "does" provide covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as a part of its offered products or services to the Government in the performance of any contract, subcontract, or other contractual instrument, then the Offeror shall complete the following additional representation:

The Offeror represents that it [ ] will [ ] will not provide covered defense telecommunications equipment or services as a part of its offered products or services to DoD in the performance of any award resulting from this solicitation.

(e) Disclosures. If the Offeror has represented in paragraph (d) of this provision that it "will provide covered defense telecommunications equipment or services," the Offeror shall provide the following information as part of the offer:

(1) A description of all covered defense telecommunications equipment and services offered (include brand or manufacturer; product, such as model number, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) number, manufacturer part number, or wholesaler number; and item description, as applicable).

(2) An explanation of the proposed use of covered defense telecommunications equipment and services and any factors relevant to determining if such use would be permissible under the prohibition referenced in paragraph (b) of this provision.

2023-03

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Evaluation and Basis for Award

1. Basis for Award

1.1 The Government intends to issue a firm-fixed-price purchase order to the responsible vendor whose quotation complies with the material requirements of this Request for Quotations and represents the best value to the Government.

1.2 The Government will evaluate quotations using the following factors:

Factor 1 -- Price

Factor 2 -- Past Performance

Price and past performance are approximately equal in importance.

1.3 The Government will not conduct a separate technical evaluation. Quotations will be reviewed to determine whether they comply with the material requirements of the RFQ and Performance Work Statement. A quotation that takes exception to a material requirement may be ineligible for award.

1.4 Compliance with the material requirements of the RFQ and the Government's responsibility determination are award-eligibility determinations, not separate comparative evaluation factors.

The Government may waive minor informalities or immaterial defects.

2. Comparative Evaluation

2.1 The Government will conduct a comparative evaluation of quotations eligible for award.

Quotations will be compared directly with one another under each evaluation factor and overall to determine which quotation is comparatively most advantageous and represents the best value to the Government.

2.2 The Government will identify and consider meaningful comparative differences, benefits, and performance risks. An aspect of a quotation that merely satisfies an RFQ requirement will not, by itself, be considered a comparative advantage.

2.3 The Government will not assign adjectival ratings, color ratings, numerical scores, or point scores. The Government will not determine comparative advantage merely by counting favorable or unfavorable observations. The significance and expected effect of each observation on successful performance will be more important than the number identified. The Government will consider the significance, expected benefit, and performance implications of each comparative difference.

2.4 The Government may compare all quotations at the same time or compare them successively.

Any preliminary best-value determination may be reconsidered, and no selection will be final until the Government has evaluated all quotations eligible for award.

2.5 The sequence in which quotations are reviewed or compared is administrative and does not establish an evaluation preference. The final award decision will consider the entire evaluation record and all quotations eligible for award.

2.6 The Government may issue the purchase order based on the initial quotations without requesting clarifications or revisions. The Government may communicate with vendors or request revised quotations when the Contracting Officer determines that doing so is appropriate. Any exchanges will be conducted consistent with the simplified procedures applicable to this acquisition and the requirement to treat vendors fairly.

3. Price

3.1 The Government will evaluate each vendor's total quoted price for the complete requirement, including all labor, supervision, materials, supplies, equipment, transportation, disposal, and other costs necessary to perform the Performance Work Statement.

3.2 The Government will compare total quoted prices and evaluate each quotation for price completeness, mathematical accuracy, and reasonableness. The Government must determine the prospective awardee's price to be fair and reasonable before award.

4. Past Performance

4.1 The Government will qualitatively compare the recency, relevance, and quality of available past-performance information to determine whether one vendor's performance record provides greater, lesser, or similar confidence in successful performance of the requirement.

Recency, relevance, and quality are considerations within the Past Performance factor. They are not separately weighted subfactors, and no single consideration or past-performance example is necessarily controlling.

4.2 Recency. Past performance is recent when the effort was ongoing or completed during the three years preceding the quotation due date. The Government may give greater consideration to more recent performance when it is more predictive of successful performance.

4.3 Relevance. The Government will determine relevance based on the similarity of the prior effort to the work required by the Performance Work Statement. Relevant efforts may include landscaping, grounds maintenance, vegetation management, tree or stump removal, debris removal, site restoration, or similar exterior grounds work.

In determining relevance, the Government may consider similarities in scope, magnitude, complexity, duration, frequency of service, schedule, site conditions, and other characteristics that affect whether the prior effort is predictive of successful performance.

4.4 Quality. The Government may consider the quality and effectiveness of the vendor's prior performance, including:

Quality of work;

Timeliness and schedule performance;

Safety;

Responsiveness and customer service;

Compliance with contract requirements; and The amount of Government oversight or corrective action required.

4.5 Vendors may submit no more than three recent and relevant past performance references. The Government may consider each effort individually and the vendor's performance record collectively.

4.6 The Government may consider past performance information from any reasonably available source, including information submitted by the vendor, CPARS, customer references, SPRS supplier risk assessments, the Government's prior experience with the vendor, and other Government or commercial sources. The Government may contact some, all, or none of the references provided.

4.7 Past performance information will not necessarily receive equal consideration. The Government may give greater consideration to information that is more recent, relevant, or otherwise predictive of successful performance of this requirement.

4.8 A vendor for which no recent or relevant past performance information is available will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably solely because of the absence of such information. However, a favorable record of recent and relevant past performance may be considered more advantageous than the absence of a performance record when the Government reasonably determines that the favorable record provides greater confidence in successful performance.

5. Best-Value Decision

5.1 The Government will consider the comparative past performance benefits and risks together with the differences in total quoted prices. The best value determination will be based on the Contracting Officer's reasonable business judgment and will not be determined through a mathematical formula or mechanical counting of favorable observations.

5.2 The Government may select a higher-priced quotation when it reasonably determines that the comparative past performance benefit or reduction in performance risk merits the price premium.

The Government is not required to assign a dollar value to a past performance benefit.

5.3 Conversely, the Government may select a lower-priced quotation when the comparative past performance differences do not justify paying the higher price. When quotations are comparatively similar under Past Performance, the lower-priced quotation will represent the better value.
