C.1 EAGLE BUSINESS RULES - STEP THREE TASK ORDER REQUEST
a. An Offeror must be a qualified BOA holder by the closing date of the RFP. The Government is under no obligation to place an order against an EAGLE BOA.
b. A Task Order becomes a binding contract at the time of the Government's acceptance of a Task Order proposal and award of a Task Order per FAR 16.703(c)(1)(iv).
c. This Task Order is being competed among EAGLE BOA holders who hold a BOA at the time of the closing date of the RFP. No extensions to the RFP will occur for purposes of allowing interested Offerors additional time to become an EAGLE BOA holder. The Government will confirm that an Offeror is a qualified BOA holder by checking the effective date of an Offerors BOA. Due to the complexity and the wide range of capabilities required by this Task Order, Joint Ventures (JVs) may be utilized; however, a JV offeror must be an approved BOA holder from Step Two in order to propose as a Prime on this Task Order solicitation, and the JV must comply with the applicable requirements of Title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) (see Parts 121.103(h), 124.513, 125.15, 126.616, and 127.506).
d. In Step Two (i.e. BOA process), BOA holders were required to demonstrate the capability to perform all three functional areas; that technical capability may have been achieved with or without subcontractors. For this Task Order (Step Three), Offerors are not required to propose those same subcontractors that were used to establish technical capability in Step Two; however, the Offeror must propose itself and any subcontractors that are necessary for it to be able to meet the evaluation criteria and successfully perform the requirements of this Task Order.
e. The contractor shall adhere to the prices proposed and agreed to in this resultant task order issued against its BOA. The contractor is not authorized to begin work on an order issued against the BOA until prices have been established. In the event that the Contracting
Officer requires work to begin prior to establishment of pricing, failure to reach agreement on price may be disputed under the Disputes clause.
f. The following sections submitted by the Offeror with its BOA proposal will be carried forward and incorporated by reference into this
Step Three EAGLE Task Order contract:
BOA RFP Property Management Plan- Not Applicable
BOA RFP Resource / Task Order Management- Not Applicable
BOA RFP L.5.2.1.1(c) Flexible Staffing Approach
BOA RFP L.5.4.2.7 Transition-in Approach
BOA RFP L.5.2.1.1(b)(2)(iii) Identification of an onsite independent quality control
g. Failure to comply with any term of the Task Order, to include meeting small business subcontracting goals, may result in negative past performance that could negatively impact the BOA holder's ability to be successful in future Task Order competitions.
h. The Contractor may be required to enter into an Associate Contractor Agreement (ACA) with another contractor as part of this task order performance.
i. Responsibility determinations will be made at Step Three. An otherwise successful Offeror may not be eligible for award if it cannot be determined responsible for any of the reasons in FAR 9.104, including capacity.
j. RESERVED
k. Size Standards. SBA's size eligibility standards are found in Title 13 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 121 (13 CFR
Part 121). In order to ensure that an Offeror qualifies as an eligible small business, prospective Offerors are encouraged to review
11 74
Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
this regulation (which was substantially revised in 2016) in its entirety. 13 CFR 121.103 in particular may assist a prospective offeror in assessing whether affiliation could apply; a finding by the SBA of affiliation between entities may result in a determination that the Offeror is other than a small business and therefore ineligible for the Small Business Set Aside Task Order award. An offeror with questions regarding size eligibility standards should contact its legal counsel and/or SBA Office of Government Contracting personnel;
8(a) Program participants may consult the cognizant SBA Business Opportunity Specialist.
The SBA is the sole authority for making determinations of small business status for small business programs; such determinations are binding on the Offeror and on the Contracting Officer. Generally, SBA determines the size status of a concern (including affiliates) as of the date the concern submits a written self-certification that it is small to the procuring agency as part of its initial offer including price. This determination is done at this Task Order level (Step Three) and will apply for the term of the Task Order not to exceed (NTE) five years. For task orders that exceed five years, FAR 52.219-28, Post-Award Small Business Program Representation, applies.
Entities proposing as a JV are encouraged to specifically review 13 CFR 121.103, How Does SBA Determine Affiliation? subparagraph (h)
(Affiliation based on joint ventures) prior to submitting a proposal. 13 CFR 121.103 provides several examples that may assist a prospective offeror in assessing whether affiliation could be applied to its JV. Note: In accordance with 13 CFR 121.103, a JV of two
(2) or more business concerns may submit an offer as a small business without regard to affiliation so long as each concern is small under the size standard for NAICS 561210. In order for this affiliation exception to apply, however, the following conditions must be met: there must be a written JV agreement, the JV must do business under its own name and be identified in the System for Award
Management (SAM), and the JV must not have been awarded more than three (3) contracts within a two-year period from the date of award of the first contract (i.e. as of the date that it submits an initial offer that leads to the award of a contract, the JV must not have been awarded any more than 2 contracts in the previous 2 years).
Offerors proposing subcontracting arrangements at this Task Order level (Step Three) are encouraged to specifically review 13 CFR
121.103, "How Does SBA Determine Affiliation? (subparagraph (h)(4)) prior to submitting a proposal. A finding by the SBA of affiliation between an offeror and its subcontractor(s) may result in a determination that the Offeror is other than a small business and therefore ineligible for the SBSA Task Order award. For SBSA solicitations, Offerors proposing subcontracting arrangements at the Task Order level
(Step Three) may be required to explain which of its subcontractors are similarly situated subcontractors pursuant to the definition provided in 13 CFR 125.1 for purposes of determining whether the arrangement includes the use of any ostensible subcontractors and thus treated as a JV and the entities considered affiliated.
l. NOT APPLICABLE
C.2. CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT REVIEW
a. Performance Management Review (PMR) - All tasks under this contract will be subject to periodic (not less than quarterly) PMRs. The
Contractor will receive briefings on the PMR slide deck and be allowed the opportunity to submit a response. Contract Deficiency Reports
(CDRs) and/or Corrective Action Request (CARs) / Nonconformance Reports (NCRs) will be reviewed during the PMR, if the Government deems them material. The Contractor's portion of the PMR presentation will consist of participating in conversations regarding work accomplished, evaluation of work against applicable program metrics (to include schedule), cost savings, lessons learned, forecasted staffing requirements based on anticipated workload, self-evaluations/inspection results, corrective actions, funding levels/contractor performance report (financial), and contractor-employee utilization rates.
Prior to the PMR the contractor will complete the following information on the slide deck and submit to the AFSB.
-Slides 5-9 (as applicable): The contractor will complete the Contractor Self-Assessment portion of the slide and also rate themselves using the ratings of Green-Meeting Expectations or Red-Not Meeting Expectations.
-Slide 10: Contractor will fill out accidents/incidents/areas of concerns along with any comments for challenges, best practices and way ahead. Contractor will also report close calls to document lessons learned.
b. Contractor Performance Assessment: The Government uses an escalating system of deficiency reporting utilizing Corrective Action
Reports (CARs). A Level 1 Minor Nonconformance corresponds to minor nonconformance as defined in FAR 46.101. A Level 2 Major
Nonconformance corresponds to major nonconformance as defined in FAR 46.101. A Level 3 Critical Nonconformance corresponds to critical nonconformance as defined in FAR 46.101. CARs are indicators of performance and will be used in conjunction with other relevant information from the reporting period to substantiate the Government's Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) input.
Performance deficiencies may include any government-identified noncompliance with contract requirements; an activity or action did not take place, or did not take place to the standards of timeliness or quality required. Note, that while the contractor will be given the opportunity for re-performance when possible, significant deficiencies will nevertheless be documented. Use of this escalating deficiency reporting procedure does not, in any way, limit the Government's ability to take corrective action up to and including termination.
c. Contractor's Fixed Fee will be assessed for validated negative PMRs, unresolved CARs or as determined by the PCO IAW FAR 52.246-5 using the following schedule:
12 74
Name of Offeror or Contractor:
PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD
Critical Nonconformance - Contractor's fee will be assessed not less than 10% of the monthly fixed fee in which the critical nonconformance occurred. PCO determination will address the exact fee decrement based on severity, impact to the effort, contractor willingness to resolve and any other factors as deemed relevant by the PCO.
Unresolved CARs - Contractor's fee will be assessed not less than 5% of the daily fixed fee starting with first day of delinquency in resolution. Fee reduction percentages are assigned as follows; however, the PCO has the discretion to apply whatever percentage it deems reasonable based on severity, impact to the effort, contractor willingness to resolve and any other factors as deemed relevant by the
PCO.
Percentage of Fee:
Critical: 10% and above (monthly)
Major: 7-10% (daily)
Minor: 5-7% (daily)
The Contractor will be given the opportunity to comment and respond to issued CARs during the PMR prior to the Government executing a fee decrement.
Definitions:
Critical nonconformance - a nonconformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; or is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission. Repeated or unresolved major nonconformance will result in re-designation as critical nonconformance.
Major nonconformance - a nonconformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Repeated or unresolved minor nonconformance will result in re-designation as major nonconformance.
Minor nonconformance - a nonconformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services.
Unresolved NCRCAR- a NCRCAR remaining unresolved, or unacknowledged, past the PCO established suspense date. May be re-designated as minor, major or critical based on the PCO independent determination.
Daily Fee - The yearly fixed fee amount divided by 12 months divided by 30 days.
C.3 PURCHASING AND INVOICING PROCEDURES
a. The Government and Contractor shall utilize the procedures outlined in the Purchasing and Invoicing Guide (Attachment 0009). This guide details the process that the United States Government (USG) will use to conduct and oversee contractor purchasing and invoicing on this task order. Each step in the process will be described in detail along with the responsibilities of each individual position. It is the intent of the Government that the process will be sufficient for detailed cost accounting and approval without negatively impacting the contractor's ability to provide Maintenance, Supply, and Transportation services at FJSC. If the process is found to negatively impact operations, it will be re-evaluated by the USG and updated appropriately to achieve the desired effect.
