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.

(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."

Addendum to 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Products and Commercial Services

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF QUOTES

This is a Request for Quotations (RFQ) conducted using methods of evaluation from FAR Subpart 12.203(c)(2).

The mandatory inclusion of FAR Provision 52.212-1, "Instructions to Offerors--Commercial Products and Commercial Services," requires the use of terms such as "offer" and "offeror." For the purposes of this RFQ, any reference to the term "offer" shall be interpreted to mean "quote," and any reference to "offeror" shall be interpreted to mean "quoter." The submission of a quote in response to this RFQ does not constitute a binding offer.

Regardless of any language found in FAR 52.212-1 or 52.212-2, a binding contract will not be formed upon the Government's receipt of a quote. A contract will only be formed when the Government, after evaluating quotes, issues a formal Purchase Order to the successful quoter, and that order is accepted by the quoter.

Purpose: These instructions layout the format Quoters shall follow in preparing a Quote in response to this Solicitation. The instructions provide the approach for the development and presentation of the Quote's data and are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of Quotes.

In this Solicitation for Quotes, the Government's acquisition strategy is to utilize Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses and provisions associated with FAR Part 12, "Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services," in accordance with FAR Part 12.201, and supplemented by Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). The Government is conducting this procurement using simplified acquisition procedures in accordance with FAR Part 12.201.

Submission of the Quote. Submit signed and dated Quote at or before the exact time specified in this Solicitation. Failure to provide all required documents or information identified throughout the solicitation may exclude the Quoter from further consideration. Only Quotes submitted via email are acceptable; paper/hard copy or facsimile Quotes are unacceptable.

1 - Quoter shall include all documents and information in accordance with the instructions herein. Noncompliance with the Solicitation requirements may hamper the Government's ability to evaluate the Quote properly and may result in elimination of the Quote from further consideration for award. The Government cautions Quoters to follow the instructions carefully and encourages Quoters to present their best technical Quote and prices in its initial submission. Quoter shall submit a Quote that is self-sufficient and responds directly to the requirements of this solicitation.

2 - The submission of a Quote including all the documentation referenced on the Attachment 1 - Quote Submission Checklist and specified in the following sections will constitute the Quoter's acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Solicitation, the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and concurrence with the proposed contract type.

3 - To ensure a timely and equitable evaluation of submissions, Quoters must follow the instructions contained herein. Quoters are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

4 - Submission of Quotes shall be via email, on or before the date specified on Block 8 of this Solicitation, Central European Time (CET), to the following:

Ms. Naziha Djeriouat, Contract Specialist, naziha.djeriouat.ln@army.mil

Mrs. Kila Lindstrom, Contracting Officer, kila.k.lindstrom.civ@army.mil

a) QUESTIONS. Quoters shall submit any questions in writing via email to Naziha Djeriouat and Kila Lindstrom by 2:00 pm CET no later than ten (10) working days after the release of the Solicitation.

b) Questions shall annotate a reference to the specific solicitation element or PWS paragraph number to which they pertain. The Government will consider all timely submitted questions and may provide answers as deemed necessary. All questions resulting in a change to the Solicitation will include an amendment to the solicitation.

c) The Quoter is responsible for ensuring the Government's receipt of its Quote, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals by the designated due date. Block 8 of this Solicitation provides the due date and time for Quotes. The Government may not accept any late submissions.

The Government recommends you submit your Quote prior to the closing date, allowing enough time to ensure the Government receives the entire Quote on time for consideration for award. If the Government does not receive all portions of any e-mail Quote by the Solicitation closing deadline, the Government may consider the Quote as late and reject it. (see FAR Provision 52.212-1(f)(2) (i)). Re-send your e-mail submission if you do not receive a receipt confirmation.

d) Submission of multiple Quotes: Quoters submitting multiple Quotes in accordance with FAR Provision 52.212-1(e) shall submit only one (01) Quote per email submission. Quoters shall submit all required documentation with each Quote submitted, as the Government will evaluate each Quote separately.

e) If a Quoter believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, an ambiguity, omission, or are otherwise deemed unsound, the Quoter shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale.

5- Interested contractors shall submit all Quotes, questions, and correspondence in the English language (52.214- 34). The Government will determine Quotes submitted in a language other than English as "Unacceptable" and will not evaluate those Quotes.

6- Organizational Conflict of Interest: The term "Organizational Conflicts of Interest" (OCI) is defined in FAR Part 2.1; also see FAR Part 9.502(b). For this Solicitation, "OCI" exists when a Contractor would face an actual or potential conflict of interest if it worked on the planned requirement, due either to its other business interests or to the nature of the effort to be performed.

Organizational conflicts of interest are more likely to occur in contracts involving:

a) Management support services;

b) Consultant or other professional services;

c) Contractor performance of or assistance in technical evaluations; or

d) Systems engineering and technical direction work performed by a Contractor that does not have overall contractual responsibility for development or production.

The Contracting Officer has reviewed and analyzed the PWS under this Solicitation and has not identified any OCI issue, potential or otherwise. However, Quoters are encouraged to make a preliminary disclosure to the Contracting Officer, prior to the due date for receipt of Quotes, of any OCI issues the Quoter has identified. Such preliminary disclosure will allow the Contracting Officer more time to assess both the potential OCI and the Quoter's proposed strategy to avoid or mitigate the OCI. This assessment may be crucial since, per FAR Part 9.504(e), the Contracting Officer may not award a requirement to a Quoter with an OCI that cannot be avoided or mitigated. If the Quoter demonstrates to the Contracting Officer that there may be a possible conflict of interest arising out of an existing contract, the Contracting Officer shall take the necessary action to delete that requirement from this Solicitation and/or mitigate any conflict of interest that may be present.

The Quoter agrees that the Government or an authorized representative may, up to three years after acceptance of all programmatic documentation to be delivered under this requirement, restrict the Quoter's future participation in any resulting program managed system acquisition action(s).
