2.4.2. Monthly Financial Tracking Report: NA

2.4.3. Monthly Report: NA

2.4.4. Contract Manpower Reporting (Deliverable 1). This is a mandatory requirement IAW Army

Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS) 5137.91, Accounting for Contract Services.

The contractor shall report ALL contractor labor hours (including subcontractor labor hours) required for performance of services provided under this contract for the via a secure data collection site. The contractor is required to completely fill in all required data fields using the following web address:

https://www.beta.sam.gov starting at the end of FY20, ECMRA has been decommissioned effective June

19, 2020.

Reporting inputs will be for the labor executed during the period of performance during each Government fiscal year (FY), which runs October 1 through September 30.

While inputs may be reported any time during the FY, all data shall be reported no later than October

31 of each calendar year, beginning with 2013. Contractors may direct questions to the help desk at:

https://www.beta.sam.gov starting at the end of FY20, ECMRA has been decommissioned effective

June 19, 2020 https://www.beta.sam.gov/ https://www.beta.sam.gov/

The contractor shall register under the "All Other Defense Components" module. The USARIEM Unit

Identification Code (UIC) is W03WAA.

*The Office of the Secretary of Defense has issued a Memorandum dated 16 October 2019 which removes the requirement for contractors to report manpower data into the eCMRA system at https://www.ecmra.mil, beginning 1 Oct 2019. It is anticipated, however, that contractors shall be required to report similar manpower data to https://beta.sam.gov beginning sometime within the next year. Currently, there is no reporting requirement or transition plan but the contractor shall perform the documentation/tracking required demonstrating an understanding that manpower data reporting shall be required for the performance of this contract.*

2.4.5 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The Contractor CPARS is the DoD mandatory system to electronically capture assessment data and manage the evaluation process. CPARS is used to assesses a Contractor’s performance and provide a record, both positive and negative, on a given contract during a specific period of time. The CPARS process is designed with a series of checks and balances to facilitate the objective and consistent evaluation of Contractor performance. Both Government and Contractor program management perspectives are captured on the CPAR form and together make a complete CPAR. Once the Assessing Official completes the proposed assessment for the period of performance, the CPARS is released to the appropriate Government Contractor Representative for their review and comments. User ID and password will be provided to the designated Government Contractor

Representative upon issuance of a task order. The Contractor has 30 days after the Government's evaluation is completed to comment on the evaluation. The Government Contractor Representative must either concur or nonconcur to each CPAR. If the Contractor concurs with the proposed assessment and the Reviewing Official does not wish to see the CPAR, the Assessing Official may close out the CPAR. Otherwise, they must forward the CPAR to the Reviewing Official for them to review, enter comments if appropriate, and close out.

The Reviewing Official may at their option direct the Assessing Official to forward every CPAR to them for review.

2.5. Training Requirements: NA

2.6. Contractor Personnel, Disciplines, and Specialties

2.6.1. General/Specialized Experience: The contract shall possess specialized experience necessary to conduct DNA extraction, library preparation, high-throughput DNA sequencing (16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing and shotgun metagenomics sequencing), and bioinformatics Support Services.

2.6.2.2. The Government estimate is only put in place for offerors to ascertain the approximate or estimated level of effort for this procurement. However, this is not to be construed as either mandatory or necessarily the best technical approach. It is only in place as a reference to allow offerors to better understand the general scope of this effort from the Governments perspective. The Government is seeking the best level of effort and labor mix that the contractor has determined is right to accomplish the mission contained in this

PWS. The contractor is not bound to propose these labor categories or quantities, rather being expected to provide the best solution citing the labor mix and quantity required to accomplish the general scope of the contract requirements in each support areas. If the contractor has determined either the labor categories or overall level of effort provided are not the best technical solution, the contractor shall submit a level of effort consistent with all of the cost/price and non- cost/price aspects of contractors approach.
