To promote compliance with such code of business ethics and conduct, Contractors should have an employee business ethics and compliance training program that facilitates timely discovery and disclosure of improper conduct in connection with government contracts and ensures corrective measures are promptly instituted and carried out. A Contractor may be suspended and/or debarred for knowing failure by a principal to timely disclose to the government, in connection with the award, performance, or closeout of a government contract performed by the Contractor or a subcontract awarded there under, credible evidence of a violation of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery, or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or a violation of the False Claims Act.

promote ethical conduct and a commitment to compliance with the law within their organization; and timely report any violations of federal criminal law involving fraud, conflict of interest, bribery or gratuity violations found in title 18 of the United States Code or any violations of the False Claims Act. (31 U.S.C.

B.1 General Information:

The Wide Area Workflow and Electronic Document Access Support Services seeks to establish a Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) approach where Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts will be individually awarded to the Team Lead and to each Teaming Partner(s) proposed to perform on the effort. The resultant IDIQ(s) will provide for both Cost Plus Incentive Fee (CPIF) and Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Task Order(s) (TOs) for a three (3) Year Performance Period which includes a one (1) Year Base, and two (2) one (1) Year Options.

B.2 Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts:

This acquisition is structured as a CTA approach where IDIQ Contracts will be individually awarded to the Team Lead and to each Teaming Partner(s) proposed to perform on the effort. The Team Lead will also be required to submit its CTA approach as well as provide a copy of its CTA Document for each Team Partner(s) proposed with its offer.

The IDIQ Contract minimum under the resultant contract is $4M and covers the entire period of the IDIQ contract (One Year Base and Two – One Year Options, if exercised).

The $4M minimum shall be allocated by the Government amongst the CTA (Team Lead and the Teaming Partner(s)) for FFP Task Orders and requires the Team Lead to allocate a minimum of 40% to the small business Teaming Partner(s).

The maximum value of the resultant contract (One Year Base and Two – One Year Options) will be based upon the resultant awardees’ total acquisition price.

B.2.1 Pricing of Task Orders

At time of IDIQ award, Sustainment efforts will be awarded firm fixed price for the base year. The TO will include the Cost Reimbursable (CR) Travel Not To Exceed (NTE) Contract Line Item Number (CLIN).

The Team Lead will be required to propose a CTA approach where 40 percent of the total sustainment price (base and option years) proposed is allocated for Small Business (SB) firms. Since the IDIQs will be CTAs, individual TOs will be issued to the Team Lead and to each Teaming Partner(s) proposed to perform on the required task.

The Initial Development Task Order shall be used for evaluation of the Offerors ability to support the Offerors technical solution and cost elements and may be issued as a CPIF TO at time of IDIQ if the Government determines the proposed Development efforts are required at IDIQ award. All subsequent Development efforts will be awarded as CPIF TOs under the IDIQ.

B 2.2 Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) Table

Any resultant development task orders shall utilize the established Not To Exceed labor rates listed in the below tables only. Contractor shall use the below labor category rates for task order submittal, no additional labor categories are permitted for subsequent task orders. At no time during the performance of a Task Order, shall the actual labor rates exceed the ceiling rates listed in the below schedules.

IDIQ Option Year 2

B.3 Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA):

A Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) allows for contractors to work together to meet agency requirements and are not established pursuant to FAR Subpart 9.6; instead, contractors will determine the relationship between the various team members, but they will all be primes and not subcontractors. There will be a single leader for the team, which will have overall responsibility for contract performance and will serve as the system integrator for this effort. The team lead will therefore develop and oversee system development and coordinate with other team members in support of Sustainment efforts. Although the proposed approach may result in multiple contract awards, it is being solicited pursuant to FAR 16.5 using a single solicitation, and the resulting award(s) may be to a group of contractors organized as a single team (Contractor Team Arrangement) as described below. Within this acquisition, the DLA Contracting Services Office located at Philadelphia (DLA CSO-P) requires CTAs with small businesses and encourages CTAs with other firms that could contribute to the success of the WAWF/EDA Support Services effort. In an attempt to facilitate this process, the following definitions and information are provided with regard to Team Arrangements.

• Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) – A Contractor Team Arrangement (CTA) means an arrangement in which two or more companies form a partnership to act as a potential prime contractor.

• Team Lead – The CTA must designate one (1) team member to be the “Team Lead.” DCSO-P requires that the Team Lead, at a minimum, be responsible for coordinating and overseeing the timeliness and quality of work performed under all Task Order(s) issued to the various Team Partners, and for coordinating the submission of the proposal for the WAWF/EDA Support Services effort.

• Team Partner(s) – A Team Partner is a firm that is a member of the CTA. Each Team Partner(s) will provide the services identified in the CTA Document in accordance with the team’s proposal and terms of the contract.

• Subcontractors – Subcontractors are firms who provide services on behalf of one or more of the

Teaming Partner(s).

Subcontractors are not considered members of the CTA and responsibility for the subcontractor will rest with the applicable Team Partner. Subcontractors may be large or small businesses and may not be used to satisfy the Small Business (SB) requirement that 40 percent of the total sustainment price for the base and option years for the WAWF/EDA Support Services effort must be dedicated to either a SB, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and/or HubZone Small Business (HZSB) concerns.

The Team Lead is fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any team arrangement between the Team Lead and its Team Partner(s) or subcontractor(s).

B.4 Support of Socio Economic Programs:

The Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) is committed to assuring that maximum practicable opportunity is given to Small Business concerns to participate in this acquisition and shall do via contactor teams.

Therefore, DLA requires that a minimum of 40% of the total dollars proposed for the Sustainment portion of this requirement for the base and option years for the WAWF/EDA Support Services shall be dedicated to Small Business.

The Team Lead, if a large business, is required to form Contractor Team Arrangements (CTA) with at least one (1) small business and at least one (1) other small business category referenced below to satisfy the DLA requirement that a minimum of 40% of the total sustainment price for the base and option years shall be dedicated to Small Business. Each small business teaming partner will receive an individual IDIQ contract award/number.

TYPE OF SMALL BUSINESS

Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

(SDVOSB)

Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) Hub Zone Small Business (HZSB) 8(a), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB)

One (1) firm may fulfill more than one of the socio-economic categories listed above. For example, in addition to being a small business concern, if that business is also a SDVOSB, and 40% of the total sustainment price for the base and option years is dedicated to that business, then that would satisfy the requirement that the Team Lead form the requisite CTAs.

Note: No advantage will be given to a proposal that offers a percent of participation greater than 40 percent of the total sustainment for the base and option years for this acquisition. This requirement is only applicable to Offerors that are other than Small Businesses (SBs) and shall be rated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis as part of the Price Proposal Evaluation.

Initial proposals not complying with the socio-economic requirements outlined in this RFP shall be considered unacceptable. The Team Lead has the overall responsibility for the planning, programming, coordination, management, and performance of all services and tasks under the Task Order(s) issued to its Teaming Partner(s), including the quality and timeliness of those tasks, regardless of the allocation of responsibility for those services and tasks in the CTA.

The Team Lead will submit one overall team non-price proposal and one overall team price proposal. The Team Lead will be responsible for coordinating and overseeing all Task Order(s) issued to the Teaming Partner(s), for coordinating the submission of the offer for this RFP and will be responsible for the timeliness and quality of all deliverables for the WAWF/EDA Support Services effort.

CTA Document: The CTA is required to submit a CTA Document as part of its offer as evidence of the Contractor Team arrangement. The document should designate all team members and describe the tasks to be performed by each team member, along with associated proposed prices.

A concern’s size standard at the time of proposal submission will be verified with the System for Award Management (SAM) and/or the Small Business Administration. For the purpose of determining a firm’s size, the applicable North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and related small business size standard are 541512 and $27,500,000 respectively.

A Team Arrangement is also encouraged to establish relationships with other small business types in support of the socio-economic programs.

TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR IDIQ AWARD, SIGNED SF33’S FROM THE TEAM LEAD AND EACH

TEAM PARTNER MUST BE SUBMITTED WITH THE OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL.

• The Team Leader shall submit a consolidated offer referencing what roles and/or taskings each team member will fulfill and the relative cost to be allocated to each team member.

SECTION C

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

C.1 Background

The Wide Area Work Flow (WAWF) E-BUSINESS GATEWAY is the single face system delivering access to a number of independently managed business applications and capabilities, including Electronic Document Access (EDA). The Family of Systems (FoS) within the WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY currently includes:

• Invoice Receipt Acceptance and Property Transfer (iRAPT)

• Item Unique Identifier (IUID) Registry

• MyInvoice

• Department of Defense Contracting Officer Representative Tracking (CORT) Tool

• Electronic Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (eMIPR)

• Electronic Document Access (EDA) application

• Management Reporting System (MRS)

• Additional systems as needed

Note: EDA is within the WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY. WAWF and EDA are used in the title of this acquisition because they are supported by two separate contracts that are being consolidated.

iRAPT is the Department of Defense (DOD) enterprise system for secure electronic submission, acceptance and processing of invoices. It is mandated for use by all DOD Services and Agencies for electronic invoicing by DFARS 252.232-7003. iRAPT processes over 86 million transactions worth $301B per year and saves DOD millions of dollars annually in processing cost and avoided interest (over $77.6 M in FY10).

iRAPT brings together the invoice & the receiving report from WAWF, and the contract from EDA to provide the entitlement systems with the ability to perform the three-way match needed to authorize payment. iRAPT is also the Enterprise data entry point for IUID and Passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) data for new acquisition items, the source of receipt and acceptance data for service component and agency Enterprise Resource Planning (ERPs) and is central for the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) enterprise solutions for Standard Financial Information Structure (SFIS) and Intra Governmental Transfer (IGT). WAWF Property is the Enterprise data entry point for the Paperless Government Furnished Property

(GFP).

iRAPT Mobile delivers a subset of WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY capabilities to Government and Contractor smart phone and tablet users. iRAPT Mobile is deployed as an Apple iPhone Operating System (iOS), Android, Windows, or Blackberry application made available through commercial services, e.g., iTunes Store, Google Play, and Blackberry World. iRAPT Mobile for contractors and Contractors provides the appropriate Web Services to handle EDA Pre-Populated, validation, and submission of Invoices, Receiving Reports, and COMBO-created documents into the WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY application using a mobile device. iRAPT Mobile for Inspectors and Acceptors enables acceptance via small, hand-held devices using periodic updates vice requiring live wireless connection. The WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY Quick Compliance Tool Suite (QCTS) supports field receipt and acceptance for Government Acceptors. QCTS is deployed but the capability is presently disabled.

The Item Unique Identification (IUID) Registry has been integrated into the WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY as of release 5.6.0. IUID Registry is a Department of Defense program that enables easy access to information about DOD possessions that makes acquisition, repair, and deployment of items faster and more efficient.

MyInvoice is an interactive web application developed by Defense Finance Accounting Services (DFAS) specifically for Contractors/Contractors and Government/Military employees to obtain invoice status, for invoices submitted through WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY or by other means. This application was integrated into the WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY in WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY version 5.6.0.

The Contracting Officer’s Representative Tracking (CORT) Tool is a web-based management capability for the designation and maintenance of Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) and reports by the CORs.

This Tool allows prospective CORs, COR Supervisors and Contracting Officers and Contract Specialists to electronically process nominations of CORs for one or multiple contracts. It provides built in workflows for the nomination process to include email alerts/status reminders for monthly status report due-ins and delinquencies. The CORT Tool provides contracting personnel and requiring activities the means to track and manage COR designations across multiple contracts across DOD.

eMIPR supports direct-cite MIPR processing. Using the WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY, these MIPRs can be created and submitted in external activities’ systems or on the web by Requesting Activities, reviewed and funded, accepted or rejected by Servicing Activities, made available to Requesting Activities after acceptance/rejection, and forwarded on to EDA for storage and to contracting offices for action after acceptance.

EDA is a DOD Enterprise-wide system that combines Internet and Web technologies with electronic document management to provide secure online, electronic storage and retrieval of procurement information and documents across the DOD. EDA provides secure web-based access to contractual and procurement information used by the DOD services and agencies to streamline business processes. EDA provides users with an efficient method for storing, sharing, and retrieving official DOD contract data and documents. EDA facilitates increased accuracy of receipt and acceptance data by passing data electronically from the Standard Procurement System (SPS), and other DOD and Federal contract writing systems, to Wide Area Workflow (WAWF E-BUSINESS GATEWAY), allowing for more efficient Contractor payment. DOD Enterprise Transition Plan Volume I designates EDA as an enabling program for the Common Supplier Engagement Capabilities. Benefits of the EDA system include aiding the reduction of unmatched disbursements, reducing paper consumption, and increasing convenience to contract specialists and other members of the user community.

Portal Single Sign On (SSO) provides DOD suppliers with a single point of entry to enable appropriate business transactions and data visibility as the Department pilots its efforts to increase efficiencies in the Procure to Pay (P2P) business process utilizing the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Supplier Portal Commercial Off the Shelf (COTS) products to the maximum extent possible.
