SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

AMENDMENT 0001

The purpose of this amendment is as follows:

A. To publish Questions and Answers below.

1. Question: This company respectfully asks whether the contract for this core compliance support can be awarded to a US based company that is not registered in Italy, but that ow ns a fully controlled subsidiary in

Italy that is duly registered for conducting business in Italy and will deliver the work, if awarded.

Answer: Yes, this requirement may be awarded as described above. However, see changes to Addendum to

52.212-1 regarding foreign quoters. Quoters are requested to provide with their quote a letter stating the name of your subsidiary/subcontractor.

2. Question: Attachments 4 (Experience Questionnaire) and Attachment 5 (Past Performance Questionnaire) are identical. Can you confirm both questionnaires shall be completed by the offeror and that the information provided shall be the same? The "Past Performance" attachment only includes Point of Contact data for the

"Commissioning Firm", not for the government POCs for the example projects.

Answer: Yes, the Government confirms that the quoters shall complete both the questionnaires. The information may be different. The Past Performance Questionnaire will be used to verify “how well your company performed the service” whereas the Experience Questionnaire will be used to verify if the quoter’s experience meet the requirement indicated in the solicitation (for ex. Number of work, period of performance, etc.). “Commissioning firm” means the entity for which the service was performed by the company. It may also be the US Government. Therefore, quoter can insert the related information in that block or attached a separate letter providing the requested information whichever the quoter prefer.

3. Question: According to clause 52.232-18 the contractor shall potentially provide phase-in training to a successor company, and provide phase-in/ phase out services for up to 90 days after this contract expires “and negotiate in good faith a plan with the successor the nature and extent of phase-in, phase out services”. On Page

92, the solicitation states that the proposed cost submitted will include these phase-in and phase-out services. As the extent of these services is to this point unknown and/or may not be necessary at all we suggest excluding these services from the price proposal or provide them as optional items.

Answer: The clause indicated is incorrect. The correct clause is FAR 52.237-3 “Continuity of Services.” FAR

52.232-18 is for “Availability of Funds”. FAR 52.237-3 will be deleted in this amendment 0001.

B. To revise Addendum to FAR 52.212-1.

C. To delete FAR Clause FAR 52.273-3 “Continuity of Services.”

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JUL 2021)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code(s) and small business size standard(s) for this acquisition appear elsewhere in the solicitation.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the

Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(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

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. 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.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.
