PART I – THE SCHEDULE
SECTION A – SOLICITATION/ CONTRACT FORM
NOTE 1: Prospective offerors are encouraged to review Federal Acquisition Regulation 15.208 regarding timely submission of offers. Specifically, please be aware that it is the offeror's responsibility to ensure that their offer is actually received at the designated Government office prior to the solicitation closing. Submission of offers by electronic commerce (e.g. e-mail or fax) is governed by FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i). If an offeror electronically submits its offer on the day the solicitation closes, then timeliness will be determined based on whether or not the offer was ACTUALLY RECEIVED prior to closing. In that situation, the offeror will bear the risk of any delay in the transmission of their offer (e.g.
offeror clicked "send" prior to the closing of the solicitation, but the e-mail did not arrive until after the time for closing), and offers not actually received prior to closing will be late. However, pursuant to FAR 15.208(b)(1)(i), if an offeror utilizes a means of electronic commerce to send their offer and transmits it not later than 5:00 p.m. ONE DAY PRIOR to the time for closing (and can prove that they have done so), then the offeror will be protected from such unexpected transmission delays and its offer will be considered timely.
NOTE 2: The Government reserves the right to not consider any exceptions to the stated solicitation requirements received before or after the due date of technical offers.
NOTE 3: A date for the receipt of prices will be established via a future amendment to be issued after offer due date defined on the Standard Form 1449.

NOTE 1: If a Contractor is unable to issue a bill based on actual meter reading due to the failure of the UDC to obtain or transmit a meter reading to the Contractor, the Contractor may issue a bill based on an estimated reading fifteen (15) calendar days following the meter read date for the affected account.
The Contractor must inform the customer of the reason for the issuance of the estimated bill, and the Government reserves the right to obtain documentation relating to the efforts taken by the Contractor to obtain the meter read data. For estimated billing purposes, the estimate of usage provided by the UDC shall be used first.

All estimated bills shall be trued up on the next billing cycle.
The following two notes concern Maryland Procurement Office accounts ONLY:
NOTE 2: REQUIREMENTS FOR MPO'S LOAD SERVING ENTITY (LSE)
The term "Dedicated Facilities Project" shall refer to an approximately 2.2 mile double circuit 230 kV wholesale electric transmission line and appurtenant facilities located in and about NSAW's Ft. Meade, Maryland campus that are owned by Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) and operated by PJM International, L.L.C. (PJM).
In its May 18, 2012 Order in Docket No. ER12-306-000, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) accepted revisions to Attachment H-2A of the PJM Open Access Transmission Tariff (PJM OATT) to reflect a dedicated facilities charge applicable to the Dedicated Facilities Project. Any agreement entered into between MPO and a LSE for service to the NSAW's Ft. Meade, Maryland campus shall include a requirement that the LSE comply with the terms and conditions of the PJM OATT and pay all applicable PJM tariff charges approved by the FERC, including, but not limited to, all charges related to the Dedicated Facilities Project and the abandonment of the Dedicated Facilities Project, and a requirement to execute any agreements with PJM or other third-parties, including, but not limited to, BGE, that may be necessary to effectuate these obligations.
The LSE shall timely pay to PJM the full amount of all invoices that it receives from PJM, including, but not limited to, invoices that include charges related to the Dedicated Facilities Project and charges related to the abandonment, in full or in part, of the Dedicated Facilities Project. Additionally, the LSE shall also immediately deliver to PJM the full amount of any and all additional payments made by MPO to its LSE in excess of the charges related to the Dedicated Facilities Project that appear on the invoices
PJM Large SPE600-16-R-0413 Page 10 of 53 that MPO periodically receives from its LSE, provided that such additional payments also relate to the Dedicated Facilities Project and are noted as such by MPO.
All charges related to the Dedicated Facilities Project shall be invoiced by the LSE to MPO as a separate line item identified as "Dedicated Facility Charge".
All of MPO’s invoices shall be submitted using the Electronic Invoicing internet website at:
www.nsa.gov/business/programs/electronic_invoicing.shtml.. Access to the electronic invoicing website requires an External Certificate Authority/Interim External Certificate Authority (ECA/IECA) PKI certificate. Information on purchasing an ECA/IECA PKI certificate is available on the internet at:
http://iase.disa.mil/pki/eca/index.html
Once an ECA/IECA certificate has been obtained, contact the Electronic Commerce Office at (410) 854- 5445 to setup an account. Additional information can be obtained by contacting the Electronic Commerce office at the above number.
Each invoice line shall have a valid Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), and Accounting Classification Reference Number (ACRN). ACRN shall be provided at time of award. Failure to include this information will result in the automatic rejection of the invoice. Further, an invoice not properly allocated or not properly submitted shall be considered an improper invoice under the Prompt Payment Act.
(c) METERING AND METER READING SERVICES. Will be provided by the incumbent UDC for each account.
(d) SCHEDULING AND SUPPLY MANAGEMENT. It shall be the Contractor's responsibility to schedule deliveries for all accounts awarded for the time period specified herein. The Contractor shall be responsible for supply management and overall coordination of production, transmission, and distribution of electrical power to the service point of each account identified in the contract. As such, the Contractor shall be knowledgeable of and responsible for imbalance policies, transmission grid losses, transmission congestion charges and UDC line losses for the delivery of electricity to the service point of each account under the contract. The Contractor must meet all applicable State and Federal requirements necessary to successfully complete any contract. The Government will not pay any costs associated with the Contractor's failure to deliver electrical power at the delivery point sufficient to meet the demand at the service point of each account under the contract or to schedule and coordinate for the delivery of electricity to each service point.
(e) RECORD KEEPING. The Contractor shall keep records of data required to bill in accordance with the utility tariff of each account (demand and consumption data) in an electronic database format compatible with Microsoft Access or a spreadsheet format compatible with Microsoft Excel. These records shall be made available to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy as authorized to request this data. In the event that the Contractor maintains records on demand and consumption data in addition to that required to bill in accordance with the utility tariff, said data shall also be made available to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy as authorized to request this data. The Contractor shall provide (or make available) to DLA Energy or to any party designated by DLA Energy, interval data (for those accounts with an interval meter) in Microsoft Excel format, on a monthly basis throughout the entire delivery term of any resultant contract.
