About this file

This is an Invitation for Bids (IFB) for a firm-fixed-price commercial services contract issued by the U.S. Army for Cybersecurity Engineering and DoD Risk Management Framework (RMF) support services.

The Army Contracting Command (ACC) at Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland is seeking a contractor to provide cybersecurity and RMF support services for a base year running from November 23, 2026 through November 22, 2027, with four option years through November 22, 2031, and a six-month extension option to May 22, 2032. The work involves 4,080 hours annually for base labor categories (IT Systems Solutions Architect-Senior as key personnel/contract manager and IT Certified Professional-Senior) plus surge positions of the same category. The solicitation specifies firm-fixed pricing with no travel or other direct costs anticipated. Bids are due electronically by November 12, 2026 at 5:00 PM EST, with public bid opening on November 17, 2026. The Government will award to the lowest-priced, responsive, and responsible bidder based solely on price and price-related factors under sealed bidding procedures (FAR Part 14).

Critical responsiveness requirements include proof of an active SECRET Facility Security Clearance, signed certifications of personnel security clearances (TOP SECRET for surge positions), and compliance with DoD 8140.01 and 8570.01-M cybersecurity certification requirements. Bidders must provide completed SF 1449 forms, pricing schedules for all contract line items, active SAM.gov representations and certifications, and personnel resumes demonstrating the specified experience (IT Solutions Architect with CISSP certification and 10+ years RMF experience; IT Certified Professionals with CASP+/Security X and 5+ years RMF experience). The contracting officer is Todd Strasavich, and the point of contact is Bonnie Weakley at Aberdeen Proving Ground. The estimated total contract value is $34,000,000, with deliverables including monthly funding balance sheets, invoices, reconciliation reports, and spend plans. No technical proposals will be evaluated; this is a sealed bid with price as the sole award criterion.

LIMITATION OF GOVERNMENT'S OBLIGATION (APR 2014)

(a) Contract line item(s) ____[Contracting Officer insert after negotiations] is/are incrementally funded. For this/these item(s), the sum of $ ____[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 $ ____ (month) (day), (year) ____ $ ____ (month) (day), (year) ____ $ ____ (month) (day), (year) ____ $ ____

Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements-Notice and Representation (Feb 2026) (Deviation 2026-

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

Foreign person means any person other than a United States person.

Specified Federal procurement payment means any payment made pursuant to a contract with a foreign contracting party that is for goods, manufactured or produced, or services provided in a foreign country that is not a party to an international procurement agreement with the United States. For purposes of the prior sentence, a foreign country does not include an outlying area of the United States.

United States person as defined in 26 U.S.C. 7701(a)(30) means

(1) A citizen or resident of the United States;

(2) A domestic partnership;

(3) A domestic corporation;

(4) Any estate (other than a foreign estate, within the meaning of 26 U.S.C. 701(a)(31)); and

(5) Any trust if-

(i) A court within the United States is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust; and

(ii) One or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust.

(b) Unless exempted, there is a 2 percent tax of the amount of a specified Federal procurement payment on any foreign person receiving such payment. See 26 U.S.C. 5000C and its implementing regulations at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1 through 1.5000C-7.

(c) Exemptions from withholding under this provision are described at 26 CFR 1.5000C-1(d)(5) through (7). The Offeror may claim an exemption from the withholding by using the Department of the Treasury Internal Revenue Service (IRS) Form W-14, Certificate of Foreign Contracting Party Receiving Federal Procurement Payments, available at www.irs.gov/w14. Any exemption claimed and self-certified on the IRS Form W-14 is subject to audit by the IRS. Any disputes regarding the imposition and collection of the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax are adjudicated by the IRS as the 26 U.S.C. 5000C tax is a tax matter, not a contract issue. The IRS Form W-14 is provided to the acquiring agency rather than to the IRS.

(d) For purposes of withholding under 26 U.S.C. 5000C, the Offeror represents that

(1) It [ ] is [ ] is not a foreign person; and

(2) If the Offeror indicates "is" in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then the Offeror represents that-I am claiming on the IRS Form W-14 [ ] a full exemption, or [ ] partial or no exemption [Offeror must select one] from the excise tax.

(e) If the Offeror represents it is a foreign person in paragraph (d)(1) of this provision, then-

(1) The clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, will be included in any resulting contract; and

(2) The Offeror shall submit with its offer the IRS Form W-14. If the IRS Form W-14 is not submitted with the offer, exemptions will not be applied to any resulting contract and the Government will withhold a full 2 percent of each payment.

(f) If the Offeror selects "is" in paragraph (d)(1) and "partial or no exemption" in paragraph (d)(2) of this provision, the Offeror will be subject to withholding in accordance with the clause at FAR 52.229-12, Tax on Certain Foreign Procurements, in any resulting contract.

(g) A taxpayer may, for a fee, seek advice from the IRS as to the proper tax treatment of a transaction. This is called a private letter ruling. Also, the IRS may publish a revenue ruling, which is an official interpretation by the IRS of the Internal Revenue Code, related statutes, tax treaties, and regulations. A revenue ruling is the conclusion of the IRS on how the law is applied to a specific set of facts. For questions relating to the interpretation of the IRS regulations go to https://www.irs.gov/help/tax-law-questions.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1 BASIS FOR AWARD

In accordance with FAR Part 14, Sealed Bidding, the Government will award a single, Firm-Fixed- Price (FFP) commercial services contract to the responsible bidder whose bid, conforming to the Invitation for Bids (IFB), is most advantageous to the Government, considering only price and price-related factors.

Because this acquisition is conducted under Sealed Bidding procedures, there will be no technical-price tradeoffs or subjective evaluations of the bidder's methodology. Award will be made to the lowest-priced, responsive, and responsible bidder.

M.2 RESPONSIVENESS EVALUATION (PASS/FAIL)

The Government will evaluate all bids to determine if they are responsive to the material requirements of the IFB. A bid will be rated PASS (Responsive) if it meets all of the following criteria:

1. Timeliness: The bid was submitted electronically before the exact deadline specified in Section L.2.

2. Administrative Conformance: The bid includes a completed and signed SF 1449, signed acknowledgements of all issued amendments (if applicable), and active SAM.gov representations and certifications.

3. Unqualified Bid: The bidder has submitted a completed Pricing Schedule without any alterations, reservations, qualifications, or exceptions to the terms, conditions, and PWS requirements of the

IFB.

4. Facility Clearance Compliance: The bidder has provided valid proof of an active SECRET Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the time of bid submission.

5. Security and Certification Assurances: The bidder has provided the mandatory signed certifications verifying personnel security clearances, Top Secret surge clearance capability, and DoD 8570.01-M / DoDD 8140.01 compliance at contract award.

6. Conformance with Minimum Personnel Requirements (Reflected in Resume/CV):

a. IT Solutions Architect Sr.: must have CISSP certification and a minimum of 10 years working experience managing RMF lifecycle reporting and at least 5 years of progressive requirements for network expansion and cloud/enclaves. Additionally, the resume must reflect experience with the following systems/protocols: DoD RMF policies and practices, security audits, risk assessment practices, DISA STIG compliance, knowledge of NIST special publications, FIMSA compliance, and former experience as a Server Administrator or Network Administrator.

b. All Other IT Certified Professionals: CASP+ (now called Security X) or equivalent certification and at least 5 years of experience supporting RMF lifecycle reporting and software/hardware reconciliation. The one surge position for Top Secret effort must have a minimum of 3 years supporting the lifecycle documentation for Top Secret environments.

Bids determined to be non-responsive (FAIL) will be rejected and excluded from further consideration for award.

M.3 PRICE EVALUATION

Responsive bids will be evaluated by the Contracting Officer to calculate the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) and ensure pricing integrity.

Total Evaluated Price (TEP) Calculation: As prescribed in FAR 52.217-5 (Evaluation of Options), the Government will evaluate bids for award purposes by adding the total price for all option years to the total price for the base year. The TEP will be calculated as the sum of:

o Base Year Fixed Price (IT Sys Solutions Architect-Sr, IT Certified Professional-Sr, and both Surge Positions) o Option Year I Fixed Price (same labor categories and hours) o Option Year II Fixed Price (same labor categories and hours) o Option Year III Fixed Price (same labor categories and hours) o Option Year IV Fixed Price (same labor categories and hours)

Evaluation of Options: Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option

(s) during contract performance.

Unbalanced Pricing: In accordance with FAR 14.404-2 and FAR 15.404-1(g), the Government may reject a bid if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced. A bid is materially unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly understated for some work and prices which are significantly overstated for other work, creating a reasonable doubt that the award will result in the lowest actual cost to the Government.

M.4 RESPONSIBILITY DETERMINATION

Prior to contract award, the Government will conduct a responsibility determination of the apparent low bidder in accordance with FAR Subpart 9.1. To be determined responsible, the prospective contractor must meet all standards under FAR 9.104-1, which include:

Financial Resources: Having adequate financial resources to perform the contract, or the ability to obtain them.

Performance Record: Having a satisfactory performance record (verified through CPARS and other government databases). Bidders must not have a record of default or serious deficiencies in past performance. Bidders with no performance record are to be viewed as "neutral".

Integrity and Ethics: Having a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

Organization and Controls: Having the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills (including the capability to implement the required Quality Control Program within 30 days of award).

Equipment and Facilities: Having the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

Eligibility: Being otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations (e.g., not active on the SAM.gov Exclusions list).

If the apparent low bidder is determined to be non-responsible, the Government will proceed to evaluate the responsibility of the next lowest responsive bidder.

(a) This provision applies to small business concerns only.

(b) The bidder's status as a labor surplus area (LSA) concern may affect entitlement to award in case of tie bids. If the bidder wishes to be considered for this priority, the bidder must identify, in the following space, the LSA in which the costs to be incurred on account of manufacturing or production (by the bidder or the first-tier subcontractors) amount to more than 50 percent of the contract price.

(c) Failure to identify the labor surplus areas as specified in paragraph (b) of this provision will preclude the bidder from receiving priority consideration.
