CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS (OCT 2015)

FAR Part 3.1002(a) requires all government contractors to conduct themselves with the highest degree of integrity and honesty.

Contractors should have a written code of business ethics and conduct within thirty days of award. 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. (31 U.S.C.

3729-3733).

If this solicitation or contract includes FAR clause 52.203-13 - CONTRACTOR CODE OF BUSINESS ETHICS AND CONDUCT; the contractor shall comply with the terms of the clause and have a written code of business ethics and conduct; exercise due diligence to prevent and detect criminal conduct; 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. 3729-3733). When FAR 52.203-13 is included in the contract, contractors must provide a copy of its written code of business ethics and conduct to the contracting officer upon request by the contracting officer.

RAPID GATE, DEFENSE BIOMETERIC IDENTIFICATION SYSTEM (DBIDS) REQUIREMENT and/or OTHER SECURITY

PROGRAMS

Many bases may require enrollment in a particular system for base security such as RapidGate, the Defense Biometric Identification System (DBIDS), or other similar system(s). Such systems manage access to Department of Defense (DoD) installations,and will not allow entry without clearance. During the contract start-up/ implementation period, the Contractor must contact all customer locations to determine whether enrollment in RapidGate, DBIDS, or another security program is required for access to each location. If RapidGate, DBIDS, or other security enrollment is required, the Contractor must take all necessary steps to obtain this in time for the start of performance under this contract. Failure to have clearance may result in a vendor being turned away from the base and being unable to complete delivery. The Contractor is responsible for any costs associated with RapidGate, DBIDS, and/or other security program enrollment and must ensure that a properly enrolled driver is available for all deliveries. We currently estimate that RapidGate or DDBIDS enrollment will cost about $250 per company and $200 per enrolled employee for 1 year of access to multiple locations, but the cost of RapidGate, DBIDS or other security enrollment may vary, so the Contractor should contact the specific security system contractor to determine its own costs. If more than one driver is required, enrollment must be obtained for each driver.

Note that enrollment can take several weeks, so an awardee that is not already enrolled must begin enrollment at the time of award notification at the latest. If difficulty or delay in enrollment is encountered during the start-up/implementation period, the Contractor MUST contact the specific security system contractor and/or the Security Officer at the applicable customer locations to resolve any issues with processing enrollment so that the Contractor will be able to deliver as required.

For additional information on current base security systems including RapidGate and DBIDS, including enrollment instructions, please visit their websites at www.rapidgate.com and http://dbids.dmdc.mil/DBIDS.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)

(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late" and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.
