FAR Part 36 identifies the requirements for documenting Contractor performance for architect-engineer and construction contracts while FAR Part 42 identifies requirements for documenting Contractor performance for systems and non-systems acquisitions. The CPARS applications are designed for UNCLASSIFIED use only. Classified information is not to be entered into these systems.

In general, Contractor performance assessments or evaluations provide a record, both positive and negative, for a given contract during a specified period of time. When evaluating Contractor performance each assessment or evaluation is based on objective facts and is supported by program and contract management data, such as cost performance reports, customer comments, quality reviews, technical interchange meetings, financial solvency assessments, construction/production management reviews, Contractor operations reviews, functional performance evaluations, and earned contract incentives.

(ii) Effective October 1, 2006, a Department of Defense (DoD) Public Key Infrastructure (PKI)

Certificate is required for all DoD users accessing CPARS. Effective November 1, 2006, a DoD PKI Certificate is required for all Contractor users accessing CPARS. The requirement for PKI certificates is implemented in accordance with DoD security policy promoting secure electronic transactions.

(2) Obtaining a PKI certificate

(i) Contractors who do not work at a Department of Defense facility may purchase a DoD PKI certificate from one of three External Certificate Authorities (ECAs). The ECAs are vendors who provide digital certificates to DoD’s industry partners who are using their own equipment or working in non-government facilities. A list of ECAs is available athttps://public.cyber.mil/. Each Contractor employee accessing CPARS will need an Identity Certificate (An Encryption Certificate is not required). The annual cost per certificate may vary based on the approved DoD ECA Vendor, with volume discounts at some ECAs.

Each Contractor must fully comply with the DoD requirement to implement PKI in order for our information systems to remain secure and viable.

STATEMENT OF WORK

I. SUPPLIES/SERVICES AND PRICES

1. INTRODUCTION

A. Agency Identification: Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Troop Support, Subsistence Supply Chain, is the contracting activity. DLA Troop Support intends to enter into a three-hundred and seventy-one (371) day Prime Vendor bridge contract to supply subsistence products to the customers supported by this solicitation. The Contractor will be responsible for furnishing the full- line of food and beverage items required for Garrison Feeding for DoD and Non-DoD customers located in the North Texas and Oklahoma. In addition, the Contractor may also be requested to provide related non-food items to some customers.

B. Nature of Action: A Justification and Approval (J&A) action was approved permitting soliciting DLA requirements on an Other than Full and Open Competition basis. The applicable statutory authority permitting other than full and open competition is 10 U.S.C. § 3204(a)(1), as implemented by FAR 6.302-1-Only One Responsible Source and No Other Supplies or Services Will Satisfy Agency Requirements.

C. Description of Supplies: The Government intends to make one award. The bridge contract resulting from this solicitation will be an Indefinite-Delivery, Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ), fixed price with Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) bridge contract for Prime Vendor support for a period of 371 days. The proposed bridge contract provides for an indefinite quantity, within stated limits, of specific supplies or services to be furnished during a fixed period, with deliveries to be scheduled by placing orders with the Contractor (FAR 16.504(a)).

D. Distribution prices will remain constant during this period. An economic price adjustment clause, Economic Price Adjustment (EPA) – Actual Material Costs for Subsistence Delivered Price Business Model – DLA Troop Support Subsistence Prime Vendor (SPV) Contiguous United States (CONUS), Alaska, and Hawaii will be utilized in order to allow adjustments based on the delivered price during any tier period. The contract does not provide for any other adjustments to the contract unit price. Each delivery order issued against the resulting contract will, therefore, be a firm fixed price for products for which the unit price is established in the contract.

E. Estimated Dollar Value, Guaranteed Minimum Dollar Value, and Maximum Dollar Value

The estimated dollar value of this bridge solicitation is $30,635,325.00. The guaranteed minimum dollar value is ten percent (10%) of the estimated dollar value, $3,063,532.00. The maximum total dollar value is 300% of the estimated dollar value, $91,905,974.00. The Government’s legal obligation under this contract shall only be that of the guaranteed minimum.

The estimated dollar values stated are based on good faith estimates; they are estimates only and are not guaranteed to be purchased by this contract.
