Requirements for accessibility based on Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d) and additional agency specific accessibility requirements, hereafter referred in total as “SSA Accessibility Requirements,” are relevant for this contract.

(See Section D Attachment 1, SSA Accessibility Requirements)

B-3 Task Ordering Procedures

General

(1) During the ordering period of performance (see Section B-4) of this contract, the Government may issue written task orders in accordance with the procedures set forth herein to support requirements associated with the Statement of Work (SOW) in Section D. This is an indefinite-delivery indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract that allows individual task orders to be awarded using the following pricing arrangements under FAR Part 16: firm-fixed-price (FFP), time-and-materials (T&M), and labor-hour (LH). Task order prices for each labor category identified in Section D Attachment 3, Labor Categories and Qualifications (see Section B-7) must be based on the fixed hourly rates identified in Section D Attachment 2, Labor Pricing Matrixes (see Section B-6). Although the hourly rates are fixed hourly rates, the Contractors may elect to propose lower hourly rates when responding to a request for task order proposal (RFTOP). Note: The Government reserves the right to use the pricing arrangements authorized for use under this contract in conjunction with an award fee, and performance, or delivery incentives when the award fee or incentive is based solely on factors other than cost. In these cases, the award fee and incentive(s) will be determined at the task order level by the Contracting Officer (CO).

(2) The Contractor will not be reimbursed for any expenses incurred that do not comply with the task order or expenses that exceed the task order award (or ceiling amount if T&M, or LH pricing) without the express written consent of the CO.

(3) No individual task order may authorize the Contractor to incur expenses that are not in accordance with the limitations set forth elsewhere in the contract.

(4) The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized task orders awarded under the contract. The Government will identify the period of performance for services (to include option periods, if applicable, and any incentives, if applicable) in each task order.

(5) The Government will reimburse other direct costs (ODC) per Section B-3(c)(1)(ii).

(6) This contract authorizes orders to be issued by electronic commerce methods only.

Ordering

(1) The CO will issue a RFTOP electronically to the multiple awardee Contractors following the ordering procedures of FAR 16.505(b), unless an exception applies (see FAR 16.505(b)(2)). In response, the Contractor must provide a task order proposal (TOP) that contains the Contractor’s proposed total price to perform the services outlined in the SOW, along with any other information (e.g., information related to the cited evaluation criteria) the Government requires to assist with making a best value award decision. In addition, the Government may specify “key personnel” other than those identified under Section C3-5 2352.209-1 Key Personnel (SEP 2013) of the contract, that are considered “key” to an individual task order. In those cases, the task order will specify which personnel assigned to “key” positions or labor categories are essential to the work performed therein in accordance with Section C3-6, Task Order Key Personnel.

Note: The Government reserves the right to use streamlined procedures, including oral presentations as allowed by FAR 16.505(b)(1). In these cases, the Government will follow the guidance at FAR 15.102 and provide each multiple awardee, unless an exception applies, with sufficient information to prepare a response.

(2) Hardware/Software Acquisition: Although the IDIQ contract is primarily for services in support of the task areas identified within the SOW in Section D of this contract, in limited situations, inclusion of hardware/software items on a task order is within the purview of the Government. Any hardware/software procured under this IDIQ contract via task order must be considered critical and related to the services being acquired under the task order. For example, cases where proposed hardware/software results from task order requirement for a "solutions based" proposal. In these cases, the proposal may address task order requirements in a manner that encompasses everything from the analysis of hardware/software implementation to ongoing operational support of the IT solution to the task order requirements.

Note: Any proposed hardware/software procured under this contract via task order in support of the task areas identified within the SOW in Section D of this contract, and where supplemented by the individual task order SOW, must comply with the 508 Accessibility Standards applicable to the task order requirements. In these cases, the 508 Accessibility Standards will be specified at the task order level. In addition, the Government reserves the right to ensure any commercial computer software, or commercial computer software documentation acquired under licenses customarily provided to the public, is consistent with Federal law and otherwise satisfies the Government’s needs. (See Section C1-6 52.227-17 Rights in Data – Special Works (DEC 2007))

(3) All SSA COs may place orders against this contract up to their individual delegated purchase authority.

(4) Funds will be obligated at the time the CO places a task order; but see Agency Specific clauses under Sections C3-15 2352.232-4 Contract Funding During a Continuing Resolution (JUL 2011), and C3-16 2352.232-5 Option Period Funding During a Continuing Resolution (JUL 2011). Note: The minimum contract guarantee will be obligated at the contract level upon award of the IDIQ contract. Subsequent task orders will not obligate additional funds until the initial funding has been depleted. Additional task orders above the minimum quantity will be issued as appropriate using current funds available. The IDIQ contract will not be modified to add funds.

(5) Frequency of ordering: Services will be ordered on an as needed basis and as funds are available (but see Section B-3(b)(4)).

Task Order Proposal (TOP)

The Contractor’s proposal must contain the Contractor’s proposed price to perform the work detailed in the RFTOP’s SOW. Below is a list of areas that the TOP must address:

General: Include a detailed pricing table/matrix, with the labor hours by skill category needed for completion of the task. Propose task order prices using only those labor categories and fixed hourly rates (less applicable discounts) contained in Section D Attachment 2, Labor Pricing Matrixes (see Section B-6); supplemented by any proposed other direct costs (ODC) as applicable. The Government will award each task order using rates that do not exceed the contract fixed hourly rates for each labor category identified in the contract, and where applicable, supplemented by allowable ODC. The Contractor’s proposed price must represent the price for furnishing all personnel, facilities, equipment, material, supplies, and services (except as may be expressly set forth herein as furnished by the Government) and otherwise perform all work necessary for, or incidental to, the performance of the effort as set forth in the SOW for the task order.

In addition, the Government will use the fixed hourly rates current at the start of performance and not necessarily current at time of placing the order. For example, if the Government issues a task order in one contract period, with performance not to start until the next contract period, and the next contract period has an increase in the fixed hourly rate(s), the fixed hourly rates will be those in effect at the start of performance in the next contract period. However, if the Government issues an order in one contract period, with performance starting in that period, but crosses into the next contract period, the fixed hourly rates will be those in effect at the start of performance even though performance crosses into the next contract period. In these cases, the fixed hourly rates at the start of performance will be used for the duration of the base performance period for that task order; task order option periods may include rates current at the start of the next contract period, if applicable. The Government will not accept TOPs, nor issue task orders, with dual rates.

ODC Requirements: Other direct costs (e.g. specified computing platform, software and hardware resources required by the Government to perform under the contract (see Section B-3(b)(2)), non-routine travel costs, and Government approved training and seminars) that cannot be attributed to the fully loaded rate will not be included in the fully loaded rates contained in Section D Attachment 2, Labor Pricing Matrixes. Therefore, the Contractor must propose all ODC costs, including documentation supporting the ODC costs, necessary in the performance of the task order. The Government will reimburse ODC costs on an actual cost basis or a fixed price basis depending upon the requirements of the individual task orders. (See Section C1-4)

The Government will reimburse travel costs for task orders issued for services in accordance with Section C3-14 2352.232-3 Contractor Travel Expense Reimbursement (JUL 2011). The agency will not pay travel costs for Contractor personnel’s (to include subcontractor personnel) normal commute or travel costs and work time for them to travel to or from agency headquarters locations for routine meetings and work sessions. No indirect costs or fee is applicable to travel costs. To assist the Government in making timely payments, the Contractor must provide the Task Order Number, applicable sub-tasks (if identified on task order), and Tax Identification Number (TIN) on each invoice submitted.

Organizational Conflict of Interest: Address whether the Contractor believes an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) might exist. In the case of a potential OCI, the Contractor must identify the potential OCI, and how it will mitigate or avoid the OCI during performance of the task order. Refer to Sections C3-24 Organizational Conflicts of Interest – Restrictions applicable to Future Acquisitions, and C3-25 Identification and Mitigation of Potential Organizational Conflicts of Interest Arising Under Task Orders for more information. Note: The guidelines and procedures of FAR 9.5, and where applicable, supplemented by Sections C3-24 and C3-25, will be used in identifying and resolving any issues of organizational conflicts of interest at the contract and task order level.

Assumptions: The TOP may include any assumptions on the Contractor's part used in developing the TOP and costs but will not be included into the task order.

Note: The labor categories under this IDIQ contract are considered bona fide executive, administrative, professional labor and are generally exempt from the Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS), formerly known as the Service Contract Act of 1965. To the extent that any labor is subject to the SCLS and is within scope of a task order and the IDIQ contract, the CO will identify such work under a separate line item on the task order. In doing so, the CO will apply wages as required under FAR 22.10, Service Contract Act Wage Determinations, and incorporate by reference into the task order the applicable FAR clauses in paragraph (c) of FAR clause 52.212-5 Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items (FEB 2016).

(2) Firm-Fixed-Price Task Orders: For RFTOPs requesting FFP arrangement, the Contractor must multiply the quantity of hours required under each labor category by the rate listed in the pricing schedule (see Section D Attachment 2, Labor Pricing Matrixes) or as negotiated (such as when the Contractor elects to propose lower rates) for the task, and the cumulative extended total of all services ordered will define the FFP for the task.

ODCs, if applicable, may be priced for each task order. Any amount negotiated for ODCs, will be added to the extended price of all ordered items to arrive at the total FFP for the task order.

The CO will determine fair and reasonable pricing for all fixed-price task orders in accordance with FAR 15.4, Contract Pricing.

(3) Time and Materials (T&M) and Labor-hour (LH) Task Orders: For RFTOPs requesting T&M and LH pricing arrangement, the Contractor must multiply the quantity of hours required under each labor category by the rate listed in their price schedule (see Section D Attachment 2, Labor Pricing Matrixes) or as negotiated (such as when the Contractor elects to propose lower rates) for the task order.

The cumulative extended total of all labor categories for services ordered will define the not-to-exceed ceiling price for the LH task order (see FAR 12.207(b) and (c) respectively) that the Contractor exceeds at its own risk.

Any amount negotiated for ODCs will be added to the extended price of all ordered services to arrive at the total not-to-exceed ceiling price for the T&M task order (see FAR 12.207(b) and (c) respectively) that the Contractor exceeds at its own risk.

The Government will reimburse the Contractor as provided under Section C1-4, FAR clause 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -Commercial Items (MAY 2015)-Alternate I (MAY 2015)

The CO will determine fair and reasonable pricing for all T&M and LH task orders in accordance with FAR 15.4, Contract Pricing.

(4) Incentives: The CO reserves the right to use the pricing arrangements (i.e., FFP, T&M, and LH) authorized for use under this IDIQ contract, in conjunction with an award fee and performance or delivery incentives when the award fee or incentive is based solely on factors other than cost (see FAR 16.202-1). In these cases, the CO will determine the applicable award fee and incentive(s) at the task order level.

Task Order Proposal Response Time

Unless otherwise specified, the Contractor must respond to the Government’s RFTOP within ten business days after receipt of the request. The Contractor may request additional response time; the Government may or may not grant an extension.

Task Order Evaluation - Fair Opportunity Award Procedures

In accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(1)(i), each multiple awardee under this IDIQ contract will be given a fair opportunity to be considered for each order issued over $3,500.00, unless circumstances exist that would allow for restricting competition under FAR 16.505(b)(2). The Government will consider, in part, the labor mix and the level of effort proposed to perform the specific task being ordered to determine if the proposed total task order price is reasonable. The RFTOP will specify the performance period for services (to include any proposed option period(s) to extend the term of the task order, and any incentives, if applicable), and the selection criteria the Government will use to obtain best value.

The Government reserves the right to use any one or a combination of the following source selection approaches when competing task orders under this IDIQ contract: tradeoff process, and/or lowest-price-technically-acceptable source selection process.

Task Order Modifications

(1) Changes within the scope of the task order will require a modification. Modifications may include, but are not limited to, the SOW, the duration of a task order, and/or funding.

(2) The COTR, SSA task manager (if applicable), and the Contractor must discuss the changes. The CO will then request that the Contractor provide a revised price proposal based on the recommended changes. The COTR will then review the modification proposal and send a recommendation to the CO. Once approved by the CO, the CO will issue a task order modification to the Contractor. The Contractor may not begin performance in accordance with the modified task order until the CO provides approval.

B-4 Period of Performance

This contract includes multiple periods of performance applicable to either the contract level, or individual task order level. (See Section C for FAR clause 52.216-18, Ordering (OCT 1995), FAR 52.216-22, Indefinite Quantity (OCT 1995), FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services (NOV 1999), and FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend the Term of the Contract (MAR 2000))

The following periods of performance are established:

Ordering Period: The IDIQ ordering period of performance establishes the timeframe in which the CO may issue task orders against this contract. The ordering period is up to 123 months from the effective date of this contract (if all options are exercised). The Government’s effective dates for the ordering period of performance (inclusive of all options, if exercised) under the contract is:

Ordering Period Effective Date Timeframe Contract Year* Base Ordering Period 1/2/2017 – 9/28/2017 Contract Year 1 Base Ordering Period 9/29/2017 – 9/28/2018 Contract Year 2 Option I Ordering Period 9/29/2018 – 9/28/2019 Contract Year 3 Option I Ordering Period 9/29/2019 – 9/28/2020 Contract Year 4 Option II Ordering Period 9/29/2020 – 9/28/2021 Contract Year 5 Option II Ordering Period 9/29/2021 – 9/28/2022 Contract Year 6 Option III Ordering Period 9/29/2022 – 9/28/2023 Contract Year 7 Option III Ordering Period 9/29/2023 – 9/28/2024 Contract Year 8 Option IV Ordering Period 9/29/2024 – 9/28/2025 Contract Year 9 Option IV Ordering Period 9/29/2025 – 9/28/2026 Contract Year 10 Option to Extend Services per FAR 52.216-8 May be exercised any timeframe within contract ordering period for up to 6-months of services.

*Contract Year represents the timeframe in which a Contractor’s fixed hourly rate(s) may be subject to change based upon the Contractor’s negotiated fixed hourly rate(s) under Section B-6. (See Section B-3(c)(1)(i))

Task Order Period of Performance for services: The task order period of performance for services establishes the timeframe for services for each individual task order placed under this contract during the ordering period stated above. In addition, task orders may include option periods to continue services for the timeframe specified within the order. Note: Task Orders placed under this contract may be for services defined as “severable “Severable” services as used herein mean services that are continuing and recurring in nature. (2008, Published: 13th February, Download, Http://bit.ly/1N8Vjcf, and Http://goo.gl/rgtc2. Principles of Federal Appropriations Law, Volume 1, 2004, Office of the General Counsel, U.S. General Accounting Office, 2004 (n.d.): n. pag. Web.),” or “non-severable “Non-severable” (or “entire”) services as used herein mean services that constitute a specific, entire job or single undertaking with a defined end-product that cannot feasibly be subdivided for separate performance. (See citation for “Severable.”).”

B-5 Maximum Contract Ceiling and Minimum Contract Guarantee

The maximum contract ceiling amount that may potentially be awarded under this IDIQ contract separately to each of the ITSSC awardees is $To Be Determined at Time of Award (Total of Offeror’s proposed price for labor from the SF 1449 and Government’s estimate of other direct costs), inclusive of all option periods identified under Section B-4.

The minimum guaranteed dollar value ordered by the Government from each individual contract awardee is $500,000.00.

Note: There are no minimum or maximum amounts for option periods identified under Section B-4. Upon contract award, the minimum guaranteed dollar amount will be obligated and fully funded.

(See Sections C2-2 52.216-18 Ordering (OCT 1995), and C2-3 52.216-19 Order Limitations (OCT 1995))

B-6 Labor Pricing Matrixes

The Contractor must provide all labor and services necessary to fulfill requirements described in the SOW of this IDIQ contract (and where supplemented by the individual SOWs incorporated at the task order level) at the pricing agreed upon at Contract award, or otherwise negotiated based on the provisions herein.

[See Section D Attachment 2, Labor Pricing Matrixes]

Rate Refresher: The CO may periodically reassess the fixed hourly rates that have been negotiated and agreed upon in Section B-6, Labor Pricing Matrixes during the contract ordering period of performance, given the dynamic nature of IT services, potential changes in market conditions, and the possible changing agency landscape. At his or her discretion, the CO may seek to renegotiate the fixed hourly rates with the multiple awardee contractors. Renegotiation of rates may occur when the Government considers whether to exercise an option period per FAR 17.207 as outlined under Section B-4 of this contract. The CO must be able to determine any renegotiated rates fair and reasonable. Renegotiated rates only apply to new task orders issued on or after the effective date of a bilateral modification changing the rate(s) (i.e., not retroactive). Note: If the CO and the multiple awardee contractor(s) cannot reach agreement on renegotiated rate(s), the contract’s existing fixed hourly rates will continue to apply.

Unique Professional Skills – Task Order Level: Per Section D Attachment 3, Labor Categories and Qualifications (see Section B-7), in rare limited situations, certain unique skills sets that are not defined in the labor categories referenced therein may be required under specific task orders. The CO, in conjunction with the COTR, will determine whether circumstances warrant the use of unique professional skills. In these cases, the CO will negotiate the fixed hourly rate with the Contractor. The CO must be able to determine any negotiated rate fair and reasonable. Note: If the CO and the multiple awardee contractor(s) cannot reach agreement on a negotiated rate, the unique skill sets must be procured outside of this contract, or otherwise be negotiated under an existing labor category as referenced herein, for which the Contractor’s existing fixed hourly rates will apply.

Note: All labor rates in the contract are provided on a “fully loaded” per productive hour pricing basis. All fully loaded rates include all labor burdens, including: base labor rate and fringe benefits; Contractor facilities costs, including “other facilities costs” such as utilities, office supplies, equipment other than workstations, etc.; routine/non-customer directed and/or non-Government approved travel to SSA headquarters facilities; routine/non-customer directed and/or non-Government approved training/seminars; overhead; G&A; and profit. In addition, for T&M and LH task orders, actual hours worked, and any allowable ODC costs, will be verified by the Government before each invoice is approved.

B-7 Labor Categories and Qualifications

[See Section D Attachment 3, Labor Categories and Qualifications]

SECTION C - Contract Clauses and Terms and Conditions

Note: This contract includes one or more clauses (FAR and Agency Specific) that apply at the contract level, and flow down to individual task orders. In addition, there may be a need to incorporate additional FAR and Agency Specific clauses at the task order level given the nature of the requirement(s). In these cases, the task order will specify the additional FAR and Agency Specific clause(s).
