The Government anticipates issuing the task orders unilaterally and the contractor must perform in accordance with the order with any concerns addressed as a Request for Equitable Adjustment.
WORKLOAD FLUCTUATION:
While historical and projected workload is provided, the projected workload is based upon current information and is subject to change based upon surges in need, customer demand shifts, changes in support approaches, changes in regulation, and worldwide events. The Government monitors fluctuations based upon overall workload contained in the projected workload and utilizes more than 10% fluctuation in the overall receipts and issues for more than six (6) months as the benchmark for recalculating current and projected workload. In general, workload fluctuations within the 10% margin will not constitute a basis for a request for equitable adjustment (either upward or downward). Offerors should consider fluctuations within the range of 10% to be part of normal business operations and should price this risk into their price/cost proposals.
Offerors shall invoice CLINs 0001 and 0008 in accordance with Section G-4.
All labor shall be paid on firm-fixed-price per month basis. Offerors shall propose a Quantity * $1.00 (Unit Price) to arrive at a Total Amount.
IDIQ MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM QUANTITIES:
As referred to in paragraph (b) of FAR Clause 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity (reference Section I), the minimum value of the services is $1,000,000.00 for the entire contract. The estimated ceiling of the services is $60,000,000.00.
WORKLOAD MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (WMS) IMPLEMENTATION:
WMS implementation has occurred at DDJF. WMS will be utilized for this contract.
CONTRACTOR PROPOSAL:
Offeror proposal(s) will be incorporated and form a part of the contract(s), when awarded. Proposal submission and contract award are based upon commitments included in offeror submissions.

The Contracting Officer shall not award a contract until the DLA Contracting Officer determines any conflict of interest is reasonably resolved. The Contracting Officer has the sole authority to determine whether an OCI exists and to determine whether the OCI has been reasonably resolved.
(c) The OCI plan will not be evaluated as part of technical acceptability. However, as part of its proposal submission, the Offeror shall submit an acceptable OCI plan (including mitigation plans for any identified OCIs), if applicable. In the event the Offeror determines there is no actual or potential OCI, the
Conformed thru Amendment 0001 offeror must certify to that effect. The Plan or Certification shall be provided under Tab 6 of Volume I of the offeror’s proposal.
(d) The Government may communicate with any Offeror at any time during the evaluation process concerning the submission of any future OCI Mitigation Plan.
(e) Termination for default. If a successful Offeror was aware, or should have been aware, of an OCI before award of this contract and did not fully disclose that conflict to the Contracting Officer, the Government may terminate the contract for default.
(f) Waiver. The agency reserves the right to waive the requirements of FAR 9.5, in accordance with FAR 9.503.
PERSONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST:
The contractor shall not hire anyone who has or creates a personal conflict of interest for a government employee. In the event the contractor hires an employee which creates a conflict for a government employee, the contractor shall take immediate action to remedy the conflict.
GOVERNMENT FURNISHED PROPERTY:
The Government anticipates that some property may be issued during the course of performance which will be issued as Government Furnished Property. The Government property specific information is unknown at this time so a Government Furnished Property listing is not provided. Offerors shall ensure that any necessary Government issued cell phones and/or computers are included in their proposal along with the quantity, rationale, and which positions require them. Once this is obtained and after issuance of the items, the contract will be updated to include the property information.

E-5 Quality/Performance Evaluation
(a) The Government will use a Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) IAW FAR 46.401, to monitor compliance with contract terms and conditions, identify conforming and non-conforming services to determine appropriate action under the terms of the contract. This plan sets forth the method and manner by which the Government intends to conduct surveillance of work under the contract, identifies the significance level of each performance requirement according to the definitions for critical, major, and minor non-conformances IAW paragraph e below, and is subject to unilateral change by the Government without modification of the contract. All work required by the contract is subject to surveillance. The Government will use a web-based Quality Management Tool (QMT) application to schedule, document, report findings, observations, and recommendations, and file surveillance results.
The QMT will also be used to provide completed surveillance documentation to the contractor. The Contractor shall use the QMT to respond to all nonconforming surveillance results where a Corrective Action Plan (CAP) is required.
The Contractor shall monitor open corrective action plans (CAPs) and provide the Government with regular updates regarding status and actions being taken. The Contractor shall be prepared to discuss all reported nonconformances, whether Quality Control (QC) or Quality Assurance (QA) -related, as well as actions being taken to close all CAPs.
The Contractor shall participate in regular Joint Quality Meeting discussions as requested by the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). The Government will correspond with the Contractor regarding surveillance activities via the QMT to ensure a full and complete history of the surveillance is retained in a single source. The Contractor shall identify contractor personnel who have the authority to review, acknowledge, and respond to surveillance results and findings in the QMT.
(b) In the event of a nonconformance, where a CAP is required, the Contractor shall provide a Corrective Action Plan that includes preventive actions and timelines to mitigate future non-compliance, when requested by the COR in the QMT. The Contractor shall respond to requests for CAPs by providing an acknowledgement of the problem, a corrective/preventive action plan, and responsibilities within the Contractor’s organization assigned to monitor and correct the nonconformance to prevent recurrence. The timeframes for CAP response and submission are based on Significance Level assigned by the COR and are as follows:
Critical and Major Significance Level – 5 calendar days Minor Significance Level – 10 calendar days
Calendar days are counted from the date the COR accepts the nonconforming task and requests a CAP from the Contractor through the QMT. All CAPs are to be documented, monitored, tracked, and closed using the QMT.
By default, the Contractor is provided with 45 calendar days in which to correct the nonconformance. If the
Conformed thru Amendment 0001 nonconformance can be corrected earlier than 45 calendar days, the SP shall provide the COR with evidence of correction and request the CAP be closed. If more time is necessary, the COR will request a reasonable extension and concurrence from the KO, Contract Specialist, and J3 Distribution Center Representative prior to authorizing an extension. If an extension is approved/authorized, the COR will update the revised completion date within the CAP.
The Contractor shall update their Quality Control Plan (QCP) IAW CDRL A006 Quality Control Plan (QCP) and Quality Control Inspection Checklists as applicable with actions taken and methods to prevent future occurrences.
(c) The Contractor shall ensure all correspondence with the COR regarding surveillance activities is performed using QMT. When the Contractor fails to achieve acceptable performance and such nonconformance is clearly the fault of the contractor, the COR may, at their discretion, document the performance issues and forward it to the Contracting Officer (KO) for consideration of a Letter of Concern (LOC) IAW F-5. In response to the LOC, the contractor shall explain within the suspense timeframe in the LOC, in writing, why performance was unacceptable, how performance will be returned to acceptable levels and how recurrence of the problem will be prevented in the future. The KO will evaluate the contractor’s explanation and determine the appropriate action. If additions or changes are made for the Contractor’s Quality Control Inspections as a result of the LOC, the Contractor shall update their QCP IAW CDRL A006.
(d) Government contract quality assurance actions described above in no way limits the Governments’ available contractual remedies for nonconformance under any other provisions of the contract.
(e) Significance Level Definitions for Nonconforming Performance –
Critical Nonconformance – Any identified nonconformance involving HAZMAT, NWRM, Shelf-Life, ESDS, RAM, Security, Classified, FMS/SAP, High Dollar Value (HDV) inventory failures, Damage to Material/Stock that requires submission of a FLIPL, Any Incident requiring the submission of a Special SitRep, a safety incident serious enough that could have resulted in a Special SitRep submission
Major Nonconformance – Any identified nonconformance or failure to comply with an SOP, cited reference, or specific PWS requirement not listed as Critical
Minor Nonconformance - A failure to comply with an administrative or clerical requirement that does not directly impact operational performance (i.e., late CDRL submission, etc.)

(End of Text F-5)
F-6 Tiered Acceptable Performance Levels
Acceptable Performance Levels are contained in Technical Exhibit 5.0. Each Acceptable Performance Level is identified with a priority level. Priority 1 (PR1) is a vital mission requirement, Priority 2 (PR2) is a significant mission requirement, and Priority 3 (PR3) is an agency requirement.

F-7 Deductions

Deductions will be sent to the Contractor’s contracting point of contact and will include a response due date and time for any information the Contractor believes should be considered. If a response is not received by the due date and time or the Contractor concurs with the assessment, the Government will finalize the deduction and email a copy of the unilateral modification reducing the contract price. If the Contractor does not concur with the assessment, the Contractor will respond by the set date and time with rationale why the deduction should not be assessed. The Contracting Officer will review the response and make the final determination of whether the deduction is assessed. Once the Contracting Officer has made the final determination regarding the deduction, the Contractor will be notified of the decision.
Deductions due to missed Acceptable Performance Levels will be automatically be assessed if the Contractor responds with an untimely waiver request. Timeframes for waiver consideration are identified in F-5.
If the final determination of the Contracting Officer is that the deduction be assessed, the Contracting Office will issue a unilateral task order modification to reduce the labor CLIN value commensurate with the number of performance metrics not met and their correspondence value as identified below. These deductions are necessary as services cannot be reperformed.
The Acceptable Performance Levels are identified in Technical Exhibit 5.0 and each APL will be subject to the applicable monthly deduction. Each unmet PR1 Acceptable Performance Level is subject to $750 per missed PR1 standard per month. Each unmet PR2 Acceptable Performance Level is subject to $500 per missed PR2 standard per month. Each unmet PR3 Acceptable Performance Level is subject to $250 per missed PR3 standard per month. The deduction determination and finalization is made by the Contracting Officer based upon input from the Contractor and COR as part of F-5. These deductions shall be identified on each invoice.
Additionally, requests for consideration may apply for any positions not filled by the Contractor (see Section H-4) or other terms, conditions, and/or metrics not performed in accordance with contract requirements and/or contractor proposal.

F-8 Letters of Concern
The Government utilizes Letters of Concern to relay contractual compliance issues that require attention and formal resolution. They are sent to address serious concerns with performance including, but not limited, to the following:
-Safety or Security violations -Quality Non-Compliances: Critical, Major, Repeat Minor, or any combination thereof -Failure to implement Corrective Actions as proposed -Missed Acceptable Performance Levels -Failure to deliver or implement Contract Data Requirements List deliverables -Staffing (in excess or below what is proposed) -Failure to fill key positions -Continued turnover -Non-APL contractual requirements (e.g. Customer Service, Untimely equipment maintenance, etc.)
-Audit Readiness non-compliances -Lost Inventory -Accounting System Issues (CAS non-compliances, lack of responses to DCAA, mischarging, etc.)
-Invoicing Issues -Unapproved or uncoordinated overtime
Conformed thru Amendment 0001 -Department of Labor and/or Wage Determination violations -Untimely proposal, modification, or correspondence responses -Failure to implement proposal solutions (proposal incorporated into the contract by reference) -Other Items as determined by the Contracting Officer
The Contracting Officer determines when an issue rises to the level of this type of correspondence. If the Letter of Concern will address multiple non-compliances, the letter will identify how many of the items are subject to this clause. A Letter of Concern may be sent more than once for an issue if initial corrective actions are not completed timely or there are repeat issues.
Letters of Concern will be sent to the Contractor’s contracting point of contact and will include a response due date and time. Letters of Concern may include request for reimbursement for lack of compliance to contract requirements if the services cannot be reperformed to ensure compliance per E-1 through E-4. If a response is not received or the Contractor concurs with the assessment, the Government will proceed with a deduction per F-7. If the Contractor does not concur with the assessment, the Contractor will respond by the set date and time with rationale why the Letter of Concern is inaccurate or if other circumstances contributed to the concern(s). The Contracting Officer will review the response and make the final determination of whether a deduction will be assessed. Once the Contracting Officer has made the final determination regarding the Letter of Concern, the Contractor will be notified of the decision, the contract will be documented accordingly, and the issue will not be subject to further negotiation.
Letters of Concern regarding Acceptable Performance Levels will automatically be assessed as a deduction per F-6 and F-7 if the Contractor responds with an untimely waiver request. Timeframes for waiver consideration are identified in F-5.
This clause does not limit the Government’s ability to pursue other types of remedies available to it for egregious non-compliances or overall failure to meet contract terms and conditions.
(End of Text F-8)
F-9 Consideration
If the Government determines that there are contractual compliance issues and a Letter of Concern is issued in accordance with F-8, the Government may identify a deduction in the Letter of Concern. The consideration amount shall be commensurate with the level of work associated with the contractual non-compliance and will be assessed for situations where work cannot be reperformed to be compliant with contractual requirements.
In accordance with FAR clause 52.246-4 Inspection of Services – Fixed Price, the Contracting Officer is required to seek consideration for the failure to meet contractual requirements identified in the basic contract and its attachments will be deducted from the CLIN either through negotiations, issuance of a bi-lateral modification, or through a unilateral modification by the Contracting Officer.
