THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPHS ARE ADDED AS AN ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1.

GENERAL SUMMARY

The Army is conducting the Army Desktop Mobile and Computing (ADMC-3) competition in order to enter into contracts to acquire the

Information Technology (IT) required to meet the Army's IT mission. The U.S. Army Computer Hardware, Enterprise Software and Solutions

(CHESS) in coordination with the Army Contracting Command Rock Island (ACC-RI), requires contracts to support the Government worldwide requirements for commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) desktop computers, integrated desktop computers, workstations, electronic display, notebooks, tablet computers, slate, thin client, ultra-thin client, printers, multifunction devices and warranty.

This solicitation will result in Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract(s) leveraging firm fixed price delivery orders in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 16.5 - Indefinite Delivery Contracts. The total amount of all orders placed against all ADMC-3 contract(s) shall not exceed $5,000,000,000.00 over a 10 year period of performance. The 10 year period of performance consists of 1 - 5 year base ordering period and 1 - 5 year ordering period option. Individual delivery orders will be decentralized and awarded in accordance with the ordering clauses set forth in the Request for Proposal (RFP).

This requirement is being solicited under Full and Open Competition. The Government intends to make at least eight awards, with up to five reserved for small business. The Government reserves the right to make no, one or multiple awards.

This is a "Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable" source selection. The Government intends to award contract(s) resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror(s) whose proposals conform to the solicitation's requirements, is deemed acceptable and represents the lowest price to the Government.

The NAICS code is 334111 and small business size standard for this acquisition is 1000 employees. However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

The following clauses are included in the RFP but only apply at the order level when the requirement has been set-aside for a Small

Business:

52.219-3 - Notice of HUBZone Set-Aside or Sole Source award (Nov 11)

52.219-6 - Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside (NOV 11) with

Alternate I

52.219-13 - Notice of Set Aside of Orders (Nov 11)

52.219-30 - Notice of Set-Aside for, or Sole Source Award to, Women-Owned Small Business Concern Eligible under the Women-Owned

Small Business Program (Dec 2015)

Note the limitations on subcontracting clause only applies at the order level. Small businesses may compete on unrestricted delivery order without having to meet the requirements of the limitations of subcontracting clause.

GUARANTEED MINIMUM

The guaranteed minimum on this contract is $10,000.00. It will require each successful offeror to provide 1-2 laptops, tablets or peripherals to be determined at the time of award. They must meet the technical refresh specifications when purchased under the first

Consolidated Buy (CB). A Delivery Order for the guaranteed minimum will be issued concurrently with the basic award.

CONSOLIDATED BUY

Three CBs shall be run over the course of a year; CB-1, CB-2 and CB-3 for a duration of four months each. New Army technology requirements, any new functionality not available on the contract that can be determined to be within the general scope of the contract, shall be introduced once every 12 months, starting with CB-4 and every third CB cycle thereafter (e.g., CB-7, CB-10, CB-13, etc.).

Only immediately mandated DoD/Army requirements shall be introduced during other CB cycles. During CB-1 cycle, and every third CB cycle ____________________________________________ thereafter (e.g., CB-4, CB-7, CB-10, etc.), the complete product offering of the ADMC-3 contract shall be offered. Product offerings______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ during these CB periods shall establish the vendors ceiling prices for each product category and will be enforced the remainder of the_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ year (i.e., next two CB periods). Failure to provide the complete offering will prevent contractor from offering any products until a________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ complete product line offering can be secured. Contractors shall have the opportunity to refresh product offerings, opportunity to______________________________________________ update product offerings to reflect the latest innovation(s)/technology and/or address the CB specification requirements, at or below established ceiling prices for the other two CB periods should they choose. However, only approved product changes will be authorized and no product substitutions will be allowed during a CB period. Should an item become unavailable the product will be listed as No Bid for the remainder of that CB and a new product will have to be offered before the next CB. The No Bid option is available only for ________________________________________ second and third CB cycles, each year (e.g., CB-5, CB-6). To assure that customers have sufficient time to exercise vendor bids, CLINs_________________________________________________________ from closed CBs shall be available for 30 days after the CB has closed. After that time the customer must obtain a new bid based on current CB offerings. This process will repeat with every subsequent ordering year through the Period of Performance (POP).

START-UP PERIOD

The contract start-up period is 60 calendar days commencing upon the issuance of the basic contract award. The contractor, at the conclusion of the start-up period, shall be available to accept orders. During the start-up period the contractor shall:

ON-RAMPING

The Government reserves the right to reopen competition in either Small Business or Unrestricted at any time during the term of the contract. The Contracting Officer may conduct market research to assess additional technologies available in the open market. The

Contracting Officer may also assess the amount of competition available. The Government will review the need for additional ADMC-3 contractors to keep the eligible pool(s) viable/competitive, and/or to ensure that the agency maintains access to the latest technological solutions in contracts for IT products.

The Government may evaluate the benefit of conducting an on-ramp on the multiple award IDIQ vehicle on an annual basis. The Government will on-ramp in year five of the base ordering period, prior to exercising the five year option ordering period. However, the

Government may conduct an on-ramp in any year of the ordering period in order to maintain adequate competition or to obtain access to additional technologies and capabilities. Specific guidance will be identified prior to exercising the 5-year option ordering period.

As a result of such communications, the Government may establish a competitive range. Communications may be held with those offerors whose exclusion from, or inclusion in, the competitive range is uncertain. The Government need not enter into communications or clarifications with all Offerors.

During the conduct of this acquisition, the Acquisition Source Selection Interactive Support Tool (ASSIST) will be used by the

Government to support the proposal evaluation and source selection process. A separate tool, the ASSIST2Industry, will be used in conjunction with ASSIST to accomplish all exchanges with Offerors after receipt of proposals pursuant to FAR15.306. ASSIST2Industry provides for the Government to issue, and the Offerors to receive and respond to, all Evaluation Notices (ENs) in a secure online environment.

In order to initiate the use of the ASSIST2Industry, the Government requires the names, company titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses of two individuals that the Offeror has designated as responsible for receiving and responding to Government ENs through

ASSIST2Industry. The designation of two individuals is for the purpose of insuring availability of one individual if the other

Individual is not available. The required information regarding these two individuals must be submitted with the Offerors proposal and included in the cover letter. The cover letter shall be submitted with Volume 4 Contracts/Business. The cover letter will not be evaluated.

After the solicitations closing date, the Government will establish an account in ASSIST2Industry for each individual identified by the Offeror that has submitted a proposal in response to this solicitation. The two individuals named by the Offeror will be authorized access to that account. Two separate system generated emails will be sent to each individual. One of the emails will contain the individuals ASSIST2Industry username. The other email will contain the individuals temporary password. Using the provided username and temporary password, each individual can then go to https://assist2industry.army.mil/to access the account.

NOTE: The first time a user logs in, the user will be required to change the temporary password before the user can proceed to use the site.

Whenever the Government issues ENs to the Offeror through ASSIST2Industry, the Governments Contracting Officer will notify the Offeror through a medium independent of ASSIST2Industry (e.g., e-mail) that the Offeror has ENs in ASSIST2Industry waiting for a response.

There will be no ENs in ASSIST2Industry until such notice is issued by the Contracting Officer.

All Offerors are advised that ASSIST2Industry has been updated and it is now the responsibility of PRIME Contractors to establish accounts for its SUBCONTRACTORS to respond to Government ENs. A separate area within ASSIST2Industry has been created to allow authorized Subcontractor POCs to upload proposal files only. Subcontractors will not be able to access any other information on the

ASSIST2Industry website (e.g. Questions/Evaluation Notices, Responses, etc.). Once a Subcontractor has been added, it will receive a user ID (e.g. subcontractor0001) and password (an initial password) that will be sent via two separate system generated e-mails. A

Subcontractor will have one user ID for all PRIMES and solicitation responses, i.e. if you are a Subcontractor to multiple Prime

Contractors and multiple solicitation responses, you will only have one user ID. Once an account has been established for the

Subcontractor, go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. Prime Contractors will only be able to see the number of files submitted by its Subcontractors; but, will be UNABLE TO VIEW the Subcontractors files.

NOTE: Both Prime Contractors and Subcontractors are instructed to review the ASSIST2Industry Users Guide, located under the Getting

Started tab on the website. The guide has been updated and provides step by step instructions on how to perform functions and navigate the website.

Offerors can contact the ASSIST2Industry Helpdesk via e-mail at usarmy.jbmdl.acc.list.vce-helpdesk@mail.mil or by telephone at

(609) 562-5988 or (609) 562-7050 for any technical assistance that may be needed.

Offerors are cautioned that the system generated emails referred to above are intended for administrative purposes only. Receipt of____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ these emails do not constitute the commencement of any type of exchange with the offeror in accordance with FAR 15.306(a), (b), or___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

(d) (i.e., clarifications, communications, or discussions). Also, receipt of these emails do not signify that a competitive range__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ determination in accordance with FAR 15.306(c) has been made or that the offerors proposal will be included in the competitive range_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ when that determination is made. All notifications that any type of exchange with the offerors has commenced and the offerors ENs are______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ available to respond to, or any notification that the offerors proposal has been included or excluded from the competitive range,__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
