2. DESCRIPTION.
2.1 Interpretation Services.
2.1.1 The Contractor shall provide Interpretation Services for the United States Embassy in
Mexico City in various venues throughout Mexico, D. F., and the Mexican Republic.
Services will require both English to Spanish and Spanish to English interpretation, using both simultaneous and consecutive interpretation techniques. Services will also be required in both structured and unstructured settings, and some requirements will involve high level officials and difficult or sensitive assignments. Interpretation services will employ a wide range of standard and non-standard terminology, depending on specific requirements, often requiring the Contractor to perform timely analysis in order to properly understand the substance of the words and information to be interpreted. The contractor shall also take into account the government, history, and culture of the United States and Mexico, as well as the cultural differences and nuances between the languages.
Services shall be provided with clarity, accuracy, and professional, poised delivery, and when necessary the contractor shall be able to readily adapt to the demands of diplomatic protocol, protective security requirements, and similar considerations.
2.1.2 The number of interpreters to be provided for any given requirement will vary, depending on the specific requirement and setting (structured or unstructured). Examples of typical requirements include the following:
Classroom Setting (Structured). Minimum of 2 interpreters per assignment (up to 10 for simultaneous events).
Unstructured Settings. The following examples generally require “one-on-one” interpretation assistance with each participant.

b) Firing Ranges and Tactical Skills Courses. Up to 20 interpreters per day.
In addition to the above example requirements, which can generally be planned and scheduled in advance, some services will be required on short notice.

The above represents examples of typical requirements, with actual requirements to be specified at the task order level.

This, for example, will require the Contractor to conduct the necessary research and analysis required (with short notice on some occasions) to be able to appropriately understand and correctly interpret varying types of subject matter, including the terminology and nuances that may be unique to a specific area of expertise.
In certain cases the contractor shall also be responsible for researching, tracing, analyzing, and defining previously unknown concepts and theories, developing equally sophisticated counterparts that have the equivalent meaning and impact in a different cultural environment.

Specific dress code requirements will be addressed at the task order level.
2.2.3 Contractor Furnished Material/Equipment.
The Contractor shall provide all required equipment and materials for simultaneous and consecutive interpretation services. The equipment and materials to be provided include, but are not limited to, the following:

The Contractor shall provide a Project Manager, to be stationed in Mexico City, who shall be responsible for the administration, supervision, and coordination of the contract. The Project Manager shall have experience in the management of interpretation services, and possess the necessary skills to assign interpreters, determine the best interpreters for an event, provide training if necessary on certain subjects and monitor performance.
Although it’s not expected that the Project Manager visit each event to monitor performance, it is expected that the Project Manager periodically visit a sampling of events as part of performance monitoring and quality assurance.
The Project Manager shall also have adequate authority to make contract-specific decisions for the timely resolution of issues.
2.4.2 Replacement of the Project Manager After First 90 Days.
After the first 90 days, the Contractor may replace the Project Manager if the Contractor determines the change to be necessary. However, prior to making any replacement the contractor shall provide a resume that adequately demonstrates the proposed replacement possesses qualifications comparable to the Project Manager being replaced.
2.4.3 COR Approval of Project Manager Replacement.
Whenever a Project Manager replacement is requested, the Contractor shall sign the resume of the proposed replacement certifying that the resume is accurate and complete and that the proposed replacement possesses the required qualifications. The COR will notify the Contractor in writing within five (5) calendar days after receipt of the resume whether the proposed replacement is acceptable. If needed, the COR may request additional information if a determination of acceptability cannot be made based on the resume alone. If the COR determines that a proposed replacement is not acceptable, the COR will provide the contractor with the reasons that led to this determination. The contractor will then be required to propose another replacement to the COR for consideration.
2.5 Contractor Interpreters.
2.5.1 General.
The Contractor shall provide interpreters that possess a Level 5 Language Advanced Professional Proficiency in both English and Standard Mexican Spanish. Standard Mexican Spanish refers to the Spanish dialect spoken in Mexico City, rather than dialects spoken in other regions outside of the capital area.

The Contractor shall be capable of providing Interpreters that possess a minimum of two (2) years of specialized experience in providing interpretation services for subjects related to the protection of national leaders, including sufficient knowledge of terminology relating to protection methodologies/techniques, firearms, tactical driving, defensive tactics, sniper techniques, special operations activities and other related law enforcement topics.

2.6 Quality Control.
2.6.1 Quality Assurance and Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is designed to provide an effective surveillance method to promote effective contractor performance. The QASP provides a method for the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) to monitor contractor performance, advise the contractor of unsatisfactory performance, and notify the Contracting Officer of continued unsatisfactory performance.

The Contractor shall maintain in confidence and shall not disclose to any third party any information, data or images received pursuant to the contract without the prior written consent of the U.S. Government. The Contractor shall take all reasonable steps to protect the information, data or images of the Government of the United States and the Government of Mexico with the same degree of care the Contractor uses to protect its own confidential or proprietary information, data or images. Notwithstanding any termination or expiration of the contract, the obligations of confidentiality set forth shall survive and continue to be binding upon the Recipient, its agents, its successors, and assigns in perpetuity.
2.7.2 Security. On occasion, a Contractor employee may require entry into U.S. Government-owned or -operated facilities. If so, the Contractor shall provide the necessary identification to permit escorted access within that facility.

2.7.4 Local Business Requirements. The Contractor shall take all such steps as are necessary, and obtain and pay for all permits, taxes and fees as may be required by the Mexican government to establish and/or operate a commercial venture locally. A contract with the USG conveys no special privileges or immunities to the Contractor. The Contractor is an independent commercial concern and not a part of the U.S. mission. The Contractor's employees are not USG employees. Registration of this contract with the Mexican government, if required by law, shall be the sole responsibility of the Contractor, and any fees, taxes, or other duties shall be payable by the Contractor without recourse to the Government of the amounts thereof.
2.7.5 Licenses and Local Laws. The Contractor shall possess all permits, licenses, and any other appointments required for the prosecution of work under this contract, all at no additional cost to the USG. The Contractor shall perform this contract in accordance with local laws.

(c) Local nationals and third country nationals where contract performance takes place in a country where there are no local workers’ compensation laws.
Effective July 22, 2012, the Department of State does not have a Department-wide contract for DBA insurance. Contractors may continue using DBA policies until they expire. Contractors requiring new DBA insurance may purchase new insurance policies directly from any Department of Labor approved insurance provider. Approved providers can be found at the Department of Labor website http://www.dol.gov/owcp/dlhwc/lscarrier.htm.

The contractor shall submit a task order proposal based on the stated requirements.
All task orders issued shall be subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the base IDIQ contract. In the event of any conflict between the contract and task order, the contract shall take precedence.
Task orders issued under the contract shall only be issued by Contracting Officers authorized to issue task orders under the contract (see Section 2.11 below). This includes any modifications to task orders if necessary.
Task Orders may be issued from the date of contract award, through the end of the contract
Period of Performance. The contractor shall complete all work and services within the period of performance specified in task orders, except that no new task order shall be issued hereunder after the expiration of this contract.
2.9.2 Task Order Procedures – Multiple Awards.
2.9.2.1 General. If multiple awards are made, the placement of task orders will follow the procedures in FAR 16.505(b). Unless one of the exceptions in FAR 16.505(b)(2) applies, the Government will request a task order proposal from each contractor, encompassing technical issues (if applicable) and price. Award of the task order will be based on price, technical, and past performance factors. The evaluation criteria to be used for awarding a task order will be stated in the Request for Task Order Proposal (RFTOP).
2.9.2.2 Selection Process. The process for each task order will be as follows:
