(b) General information regarding this solicitation can be found on the System for Award Management (SAM) website at www.sam.gov by searching solicitation number W52P1J-19-R-0142. The Government has also established a Virtual Library (VL) on the SAM site for contractors to use in support of proposal development. Instructions for obtaining access to the VL are available on SAM. The data furnished by the Government to contractors under this solicitation may only be used in support of proposal development. No other use of this data is authorized.

(c) This acquisition is restricted to only those firms within the U.S. or its outlying areas.

(d) A SECRET Facility Security Clearance is required of the operating contractor of HSAAP due to the criteria identified in Attachment

0019, DD254 - Contract Security Classification Specification. The Government reserves the right to conduct an assessment of offerors' eligibility to obtain a SECRET Facility Security Clearance prior to contract award. Reference Narrative C0008, Facility Security

Clearance Requirement, for additional details.

(e) Specifications and drawings in the Technical Data Packages (TDPs) are Distribution D and Export Controlled.

(f) Contractors must have an active registration in SAM to do business with the Federal Government. Contractors are required to be registered in SAM at the time of proposal submission. The website for registering in SAM is www.sam.gov

(g) Utilizing a best value subjective tradeoff evaluation, and subject to availability of funds, this solicitation will result in the award of one, Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract, to a single contractor.

(h) The resultant contract will consist of a base period with five, one-year ordering periods; an evaluated option for five, one-year ordering periods exercised at time of award; and two additional unevaluated five-year options. Therefore, the maximum period of performance is twenty years should both five-year unevaluated options be exercised. The resulting contract will also include a one-year transition following the contract's final ordering period to allow for completion of deliveries and ongoing projects.

(i) Offerors are advised that the current operating contractor will encumber and maintain the HSAAP facility through 31 December 2024.

Both the incumbent and the successful offeror will be contractually required to negotiate contract start-up activities in good faith to affect a complete, safe, and secure assumption of responsibilities without impacting facility operations, production deliveries, and ongoing modernization projects as required by Attachment 0011, PWS 11 - Transition - Start Up for Incoming Contractor. The successful offeror will take over operational control of the facility at 0000 EST on 01 January 2025, unless otherwise negotiated with the incumbent and contractually executed by the Government.

(j) Pursuant to FAR 9.103, a contract will only be awarded to a contractor that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible.

Offerors must be able to demonstrate that they meet the standards of responsibility as set forth in FAR 9.104. The Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey on any or all offerors, and if applicable, joint venture partners and major subcontractors.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

(k) Receipt of a contractor's proposal in response to this solicitation is an affirmation that the contractor has had access to and received adequate information to prepare a proposal.

(l) In accordance with FAR 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest, it has been determined that the companies, and any affiliates or subsidiaries, listed below have an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) and are prohibited from offering a proposal as a prime contractor or participating as a sub-contractor or a member of any team competing for this contract. The Government reserves the right to reject any offer it considers to represent an OCI.

(1) The Shenton Group

(2) Azimuth Consulting Services

(3) Northeastern Energetic Process Services Company

(m) The Government reserves its right to award modernization projects to the prime operator, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, or a third party. Should the Government elect to utilize a third party for modernization projects, the successful awardee of the contract resulting this solicitation, and all of its subcontractors and joint ventures partners, will be ineligible to bid on those projects as a prime contractor. The Government has determined that the prime operator of HSAAP, and its subcontractors and joint venture partners (to include wholly owned subsidiaries) have a conflict of interest and therefore are ineligible to compete on third party modernization projects for the duration of this resultant contract.

(a) The HSAAP price matrix is applicable to Government direct buys procured under the contract resulting from this solicitation, as well as third party orders that are received in support of systems contracts that utilize HSAAP components. Prices in support of third party orders shall not exceed the prices established in the HSAAP price matrix as a result of this competition, or if future unevaluated options are exercised and negotiated.

(b) All proposed prices shall be entered into the price matrices at Attachments 0022-0024. If the Offeror is requesting indemnification, Attachment 0025 shall be submitted as well.

(c) Unit prices under this acquisition shall not contain more than two (2) decimal places.

(d) Evaluation quantities and weights are included in the price matrix. The evaluation quantities and weights are estimates based on planning quantities at this time and are not obligatory under this contract; they are not binding and shall not be relied upon for execution purposes. Not meeting, or exceeding, the evaluation quantities should be expected and will not constitute revision of the price matrices. If the Government's requirements do not result in orders for the estimated evaluation quantities, it shall not constitute the basis for an equitable price adjustment. All orders placed against this contract are subject to availability of funds.

(e) Plant Wide Volume:

(1) Offerors shall propose unit prices under three total plant volume ranges. Total Evaluated Price will be based on the sum of the total values of each weight-adjusted Range. Ranges will be weighted as specified below. Annual range determinations will occur prior to the start of each ordering period. All orders placed during the applicable ordering period will be priced at the pre-determined range.

Total plant volume will be defined as the sum of all HSAAP SMCA direct, 3rd party USG, and commercial product orders (in lbs.)

anticipated to be placed within the ordering period. Range 2 will be the default range unless the Contracting Officer determines that total plant volume based on orders will be in Ranges 1 or 3. In such a case, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of the range pricing to be utilized no later than 30 days prior to entering the ordering period. Delays in production of orders will not be considered during the Range determination process.

(2) At the end of each ordering period, actual orders will be compared with the volume range quantity utilized for the specific ordering period. If the sum of actual orders recevied exceeds upper boundary or falls below the lower boundary of the Range applied during that ordering period, a retroactive adjustment will be made base on the application of prices from the new Range. This adjustment will apply to all SMCA and 3rd party USG orders.

Plant-wide ranges and weighting factors are provided below.

Range 1: 0 to 4,500,000 Lbs. (10%)

Range 2: 3,500,001 to 11,500,000 (75%)

Range 3: 10,500,001 to 15,000,000 (15%)

(3) If anticipated annual orders exceed 15,000,000 lbs. for given ordering period, it will be considered a change condition and prices will be renegotiated accordingly.

(f) Economic Price Adjustment: The Government intends to share the risk of natural gas price volatility through an economic price adjustment. All matrix unit prices are subject to an economic price adjustment in accordance with Narrative I0002, Economic Price

Adjustment - Natural Gas.

(g) Combined Orders For Selected Products: The Government reserves the right to combine orders for the identified RDX based products for the purpose of product level quantity range assignment when those orders are placed on the same business day. The quantity band for any one product will be assigned based on the total combined order size for the group of relevant products. This will apply to orders for

SMCA direct products only. Individual orders that fall within product level Range 1 are exempt from consideration as components of a combined order. Product groups subject to the combined order feature are detailed below.

(i) FFP Delivery Orders (DO) and DO modifications will be utilized to place requirements for explosives based on the quantities and the ordering period within which the DO is placed.

(j) Production Base Support (PBS) efforts (inclusive of Modernization projects) will be negotiated and awarded via separately priced FFP or Cost Reimbursable efforts.

(k) Production Base Support (PBS) efforts (inclusive of Modernization projects) will be negotiated and awarded via separately priced FFP or Cost Reimbursable plus Fee (fixed or incentive) modifications. The successful awardee will not be permitted to charge costs associated with execution of the PWS scopes to Production Base Support efforts as direct costs or indirect allocations.

(l) New Facilities Under On-going Modernization Initiatives: The Government has shared the most current information available regarding scope, schedule, status, and various other items for the modernization projects being executed by the incumbent operator that will be completed subsequent to award of the contract resulting from this solicitation. The transition of these new facilities to the successful awardee will not constitute change conditions to this contract. Additionally, the Government has provided its best estimate of project competition dates, but actual completion dates may vary from these estimates. Delays in project completion will not constitute change conditions to this contract. However, the successful awardee will not be accountable for achieving post modernization capacity requirements until such time that the modernized facilities are transitioned to production.

(m) The Government may require modernization analysis, interface, engineering support, and the procurement of components and raw materials. Such efforts will be negotiated and awarded via separately priced FFP or Cost Reimbursable plus Fee (fixed or incentive) modifications.

(n) The contractor shall propose fair and reasonable prices for components and/or explosvies for third party contracts in support of any

Government contract.

(o) Prices for production items shall be compliant with the TDPs provided with the RFP. Any cost impact due to configuration change(s) during contract execution will be limited exclusively to the costs directly attributable to the change(s), require substantiation, and be negotiated in accordance with the Changes Clause (52.243-1, Changes-Fixed Price).

*** END OF NARRATIVE B0001 ***
