To remain registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)

(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, “doing business as” name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day’s written notification of its intention to:

(A) Change the name in the CCR database;

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided to the Contractor’s CCR record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the “Suspension of payment” paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

(4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via CCR accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov or by calling 1-888-227-2423, or 269-961-5757.

52.215-9033 COMPETING INDIVIDUAL DELIVERY ORDERS THROUGH ON-LINE REVERSE AUCTIONING (JUL 2012)

The Contracting Officer may utilize on-line reverse auctioning as a means of conducting price negotiations when placing delivery orders against this contract. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, the delivery order will be placed based upon pricing established through other means specified in the contract. If the Contracting Officer decides to use on-line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations when competing a specific delivery order, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of this decision via email and the following will apply.

(a) The selection decision for a delivery order will be made in accordance with the evaluation criteria stated in the contract or in the request for quotation issued for the proposed delivery order. At the Contracting Officer’s discretion, an on-line reverse auction will be used as the price negotiation technique for this delivery order. If an on-line reverse auction is used, the offered prices at the end of the reverse auction, obtained through one or more rounds of the reverse auction, will be evaluated as the Contractors’ final proposed prices. These final proposed prices will be considered in making an award decision for the delivery order along with any other evaluation factors that are to be considered in accordance with the evaluation criteria and selection process stated in the contract or in the request for quotation. At the conclusion of the reverse auction, the Contracting Officer may choose to conduct additional negotiations, either through another reverse auction or a different method.

(b) Prior to the on-line reverse auction, the Government will determine whether all participants’ prices, or just the lowest price(s), will be disclosed to other auction participants and to anyone else having authorized access to the on-line auction. This disclosure is anonymous, meaning that each participant’s identity will be concealed from other participants (although it will be known to the Government). If the Government opts to disclose one or more participant’s prices, only generic identifiers will be used for each participant’s proposed pricing (e.g., “participant A or “lowest priced participant”). By submitting a proposal for a solicitation that includes this clause, a Contractor agrees to participate in the reverse auctions that will be conducted for award of specific delivery orders to be issued under the resulting multiple award contract program, and that its quoted prices for a delivery order may be disclosed to other Contractors participating in the reverse auction.

(c) The following information is provided regarding the procedures to be followed if reverse auction is conducted when competing a delivery order under this multiple award program.

(1) The Contracting Officer will issue a request for quote (RFQ) to all Contractors in the multiple-award program. After receiving quotes, the Contracting Officer will then send written notification, via email to Contractors with specifics regarding the reverse auction.

(2) Each Contractor identified by the Contracting Officer as a participant in the reverse auction will be contacted by DLA’s commercial reverse auction service provider to advise the Contractor of the event and to provide an explanation of the process.

(3) Information concerning the reverse auction process and the commercial service provider’s terms and conditions is available at the website, as embedded in the email notification.

(4) The participants in an on-line reverse auction under this contract shall secure the passwords and other confidential materials provided by the commercial reverse auction services provider or the Government, and ensure they are used only for purposes of participation in the reverse auction. Contractors shall keep their own and other Contractors’ pricing in confidence and shall not disclose this information to anyone not authorized to participate in the reverse auction until after contract award.

(5) Any participant unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider’s system during a reverse auction must notify the Contracting Officer or designated representative immediately. The Contracting Officer may, at his/her sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the participant’s inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the participant and outside the participant’s control.

52.215-9033 (CONT’D)

(6) The reverse auction will be conducted using the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website, as embedded in the email notification. Participants shall be responsible for providing their own computer and Internet connection.

(7) Training:

(i) The commercial reverse auction service provider and/or a Government representative will provide familiarization training to participants’ employees; this training may be provided through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website, and/or other means.

(ii) An employee of a participant who successfully completes the training shall be designated as a ‘trained participant.’ Only trained participants may take part in a reverse auction.

(iii) The Contracting Officer reserves the right to request that participants provide an alternate employee to become a ‘trained participant.’ The Contracting Officer also reserves the right to review the ‘trained participant’ designation of any trained participant who fails to abide by the terms and conditions of this contract or the terms of the commercial reverse auction service provider. In the discretion of the Contracting Officer, such trained participant may be barred from participation in on-going or subsequent reverse auctions. The Contracting Officer’s decision is subject to appeal to the task-order and delivery order ombudsman pursuant to Defense Logistics Acquisition Directive (DLAD) 16.505(b).
