SAM AND WAWF REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAM BACKGROUND

The System for Award Management (SAM) is a computer system accessed by the Internet managed by the U.S. Government.

Entities must have an active registration in SAM to do business with the U.S. Government. An “entity” is the company, business, or organization registering in SAM. Each entity is represented by a nine-digit unique entity identifier, the Data Universal

Numbering System (DUNS) Number as issued by Dun & Bradstreet.

Only individuals who are authorized to represent a particular entity, or individuals representing themselves as an entity, may register an entity in SAM. Accessing or using SAM, or information contained therein, for any unauthorized or illegal purposes, may have civil and criminal penalties, and may negatively impact the status of the SAM registration maintained for the entity.

In order to register, contractors must have a valid Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a Contractor and

Government Entity (CAGE) code.

A DUNS number, a nine-digit number assigned by BISNODE (in Germany) and DUN and Bradstreet outside of Germany to an establishment, is the Contractor Identification Number for Federal contractors.

Foreign vendors can obtain the DUNS number from: https://www.bisnode.de/produkte/dun-bradstreet/dnb-duns-nummer/dnb-duns-nummer-bestellen/

- US vendors can obtain the DUNS number from: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform

A CAGE Code is a five (5) position unique identifier for entities doing or wishing to do business with the Federal Government.

The format and character position of the code vary based on country.

German vendors can obtain their CAGE code by mailing to: ncbge-ncage@bundeswehr.org or logkdobwncbge@bundeswehr.org

POC: Mr. Mueller Tel.: 02241-991643

All other foreign vendors can obtain their CAGE codes by reviewing the web site https://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm

CAGE codes may also be requested online at: https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx

US vendors can obtain the CAGE code from: http://www.dlis.dla.mil/cage_welcome.asp

Instructions for International Entity - No U.S. Banking Information Required

In the event there is no letterhead available, enter your entity’s legal business name and physical address at the top of the letter before printing. Ensure the signee of the letter is a representative with signatory authority, i.e. someone who can make commitments on behalf of the entity like an executive, officer, partner, or other authorized representative.

The scanned letter can be submitted via “submit a question”.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. Technical

2. Past Performance

3. Price

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors.

Factor 1: Technical

The Technical rating will be based on an “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” basis. The following definitions will be used in evaluating the offeror’s proposal against the technical requirement.

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Subfactor 1: Item Specifications

a. The Offeror’s quoted item meets or exceeds all minimum requirements of the product specification.

Subfactor 2: Subcontracting

b. The contractor shall provide a statement that all work performed under the contract shall be performed exclusively by the offeror. Alternatively, the contractor shall provide a list of proposed subcontractors, joint ventures, or other business partners that will provide work under the contract. The list contains contact information for each company and explains what work each party will perform under the contract. In addition, the offeror provided a letter of intent from each party on the list demonstrating intent to subcontract, partner or otherwise work with the offeror in the performance of the contract. Each letter is written on that party’s letterhead and signed by an authorized representative.

The technical factor is met when the Offeror’s proposal clearly demonstrates evidence of the full capability for executing the PWS requirements and meeting the two subfactors above.

Factor 2: Past Performance:

The Past Performance rating will be rated as “Acceptable” / “Unacceptable” based on the following definitions:

Acceptable The Contractor has a Quality color rating in SPRS of

Green, Purple or Blue. Additionally, if a vendor is rated as

“neutral”, this will also result in an acceptable rating.

Unacceptable The Contractor is rated as unacceptable if Quality color rating in SPSR is Yellow or Red.

The Government shall use the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) application

(https://www.sprs.csd.disa.mil) in the evaluation of suppliers’ past performance in accordance with DFARS

213.106-2(b)(i). For evaluation purposes, the Product Service Code that will be used when retrieving information from SPSR will be 6640 (Laboratory Equipment And Supplies). Quality Color ratings (below) will be retrieved from

SPSR based on the PSC code above and the CAGE code of the offeror. A vendor who has no data in the SPRS system for the PSC code identified above will be rated as neutral.

Blue Top 5%

Purple Next 10%

Green Next 70%

Yellow Next 10%

Red Lowest 5%

Blue Top 5%

Purple Next 10%

Green Next 70%

Yellow Next 10%

Red Lowest

Factor 3: Price:

Each offeror’s proposed price will be evaluated to determine whether it is fair and reasonable as per FAR 13.106-3.

The total evaluated price shall be the sum of all CLIN prices listed in the schedule of SF1449.

Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in terms of local currency (if not a U.S. Vendors) or U.S.

Dollars (for U.S. vendors). For evaluation purposes, the Government shall use the current FY Budget Rate to convert the local currency (i.e. Euro € = 0.8587 ) offers into U.S. Dollars. In the event an offer is received in a currency other than Euro (€), and there is no official FY Budget Rate, the Government shall use the daily exchange rate(s) on the solicitation closing date to convert the currency into U.S. Dollars. The Conversion Rate(s) will be retrieved from www.XE.com.

Please note: The Government reserves the right to contact proposed subcontractors to verify letters of intent. In addition, as part of the government’s responsibility determination, the government reserves the right to require the submission of additional information that demonstrates the offeror’ s ability to successfully perform the contract.

The Government reserves the right to conduct a price realism analysis of prices considered to be unrealistically low.

(b) Options: N/A

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise 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.
