52.214-34 SUBMISSION OF OFFERS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE (APR 1991)

Offers submitted in response to this solicitation shall be in the English language. Offers received in other than English shall be rejected.

(End of provision)

52.215-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (JAN 2017)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

“Discussions” are negotiations that occur after establishment of the competitive range that may, at the Contracting Officer's discretion, result in the offeror being allowed to revise its proposal.

“In writing or written” means any worded or numbered expression which can be read, reproduced, and later communicated, and includes electronically transmitted and stored information.

“Proposal modification” is a change made to a proposal before the solicitation's closing date and time, or made in response to an amendment, or made to correct a mistake at any time before award.

“Proposal revision” is a change to a proposal made after the solicitation closing date, at the request of or as allowed by a Contracting Officer as the result of negotiations.

“Time”, if stated as a number of days, is calculated using calendar days, unless otherwise specified, and will include Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays. However, if the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, then the period shall include the next working day.

(b) Amendments to solicitations. If this solicitation is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this solicitation by the date and time specified in the amendment(s).

(c) Submission, modification, revision, and withdrawal of proposals. (1) Unless other methods (e.g., electronic commerce or facsimile) are permitted in the solicitation, proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in paper media in sealed envelopes or packages (i) addressed to the office specified in the solicitation, and (ii) showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

Offerors using commercial carriers should ensure that the proposal is marked on the outermost wrapper with the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) and (c)(1)(ii) of this provision.

(2) The first page of the proposal must show--

(i) The solicitation number;

(ii) The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

(iii) A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

(iv) Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror's behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

(v) Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent's authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

(3) Submission, modification, or revision, of proposals.

(i) Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications, or revisions, 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 proposal or revision is due.

(ii)(A) Any proposal, modification, or revision 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--

(1) 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 proposals; or

(2) 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

(3) It is the only proposal received.

(B) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful proposal that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

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

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

(v) Proposals may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before award. Oral proposals in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile proposals, proposals may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before award, subject to the conditions specified in the provision at

52.215-5, Facsimile Proposals. Proposals may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or an authorized representative, if the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the proposal before award.

(4) Unless otherwise specified in the solicitation, the offeror may propose to provide any item or combination of items.

(5) Offerors shall submit proposals in response to this solicitation in English, unless otherwise permitted by the solicitation, and in U.S. dollars, unless the provision at FAR 52.225-17, Evaluation of Foreign Currency Offers, is included in the solicitation.

(6) Offerors may submit modifications to their proposals at any time before the solicitation closing date and time, and may submit modifications in response to an amendment, or to correct a mistake at any time before award.

(7) Offerors may submit revised proposals only if requested or allowed by the Contracting Officer.

(8) Proposals may be withdrawn at any time before award. Withdrawals are effective upon receipt of notice by the Contracting Officer.

(d) Offer expiration date. Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for the number of days specified on the solicitation cover sheet (unless a different period is proposed by the offeror).

(e) Restriction on disclosure and use of data. Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes, shall--

(1) Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed--in whole or in part--for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of--or in connection with-- the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets]; and

(2) Mark each sheet of data it wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal.

(f) Contract award.

(1) The Government intends to award a contract or contracts resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) whose proposal(s) represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors and subfactors in the solicitation.

(2) The Government may reject any or all proposals if such action is in the Government's interest.

(3) The Government may waive informalities and minor irregularities in proposals received.

(4) The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(5) The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit cost or prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the proposal.

(6) The Government reserves the right to make multiple awards if, after considering the additional administrative costs, it is in the Government's best interest to do so.

(7) Exchanges with offerors after receipt of a proposal do not constitute a rejection or counteroffer by the Government.

(8) The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

(9) If a cost realism analysis is performed, cost realism may be considered by the source selection authority in evaluating performance or schedule risk.

(10) A written award or acceptance of proposal mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time specified in the proposal shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(11) If a post-award debriefing is given to requesting offerors, the Government shall disclose the following information, if applicable:

(i) The agency's evaluation of the significant weak or deficient factors in the debriefed offeror's offer.

(ii) The overall evaluated cost or price and technical rating of the successful and the debriefed offeror and past performance information on the debriefed offeror.

(iii) The overall ranking of all offerors, when any ranking was developed by the agency during source selection.

(iv) A summary of the rationale for award.

(v) For acquisitions of commercial items, the make and model of the item to be delivered by the successful offeror.

(vi) Reasonable responses to relevant questions posed by the debriefed offeror as to whether source-selection procedures set forth in the solicitation, applicable regulations, and other applicable authorities were followed by the agency.

PHASE ONE - INSTRUCTIONS

SOLICITATION SECTION 00 21 16, INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFEROR

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

For clarity, the addressed section shall reference the Solicitation. This section is IAW the Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) pursuant to U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Desk Guide (UDG) 5114.201-1.

This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content, for preparing the offeror’s proposal. The offeror’s proposal shall include all information requested and shall be submitted IAW the Solicitation’s instructions. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the offeror from further consideration for award. It is the offeror's responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an offeror possesses any capabilities not specified. Inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal shall be explained. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the offeror's understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. The offerors are advised that their proposal is presumed to represent its best efforts and most complete responses to the Solicitation.

Proposals that simply reiterate, “Parroting” the contents of the Solicitation, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the offeror’s claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal.

2.1 INSTALLATION ACCESS. IAW CENTCOM-Joint Theater Support Contracting Command (C-JTSCC) Clause 5152.225-5916, Mandatory Eligibility for Installation Access, the Government will determine an offeror non-responsible as a result of an offeror’s base access ineligibility. The Government reserves the right to make this determination at the time of receipt of proposals and prior to the start of evaluations. In this instance, the non-responsible offeror’s proposal will not be evaluated. The Government also reserves the right to determine an offeror non-responsible at any time after receipt of proposals if an offeror becomes ineligible for installation access. A determination that an offeror is non-responsible will result in the removal of the offeror’s proposal from the competition. No debriefing will be provided for those offerors’ found non-responsible as a result of their access ineligibility as the determination may be made in advance of the offeror’s technical proposal being evaluated or completed.

2.2 REQUIREMENTS – E-BUSINESS REGISTRATIONS. Failure to have an active and completed registration in any one of the following electronic database systems below may determine an offeror ineligible for award and removed from competition. A successful offeror with incomplete or expired registrations at the time of award may not be eligible for a contract. In such instances, the Government will award to the next successful offeror who is eligible for award. The Government reserves the right to determine an offeror non-responsible at any time after receipt of proposal if the offeror is found to be ineligible for installation access, as previously stated.

Information contained within an offeror’s registration shall be current and valid. The responsibility of maintaining current information contained in an offeror’s registration rests solely on the offeror.

a. System for Award Management (SAM): http://www.sam.gov/

b. Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS): http://www.jccs.gov/

c. Active Afghan Investment Support Agency (AISA) License: http://www.aisa.org.af/ or newly acquired Ministry of Commerce and Industries (MoCI) Entrepreneurial License: http://moci.gov.af/.

***If you are not currently approved in JCCS system, please advise Contract Specialist Teresa Kelly via email at teresa.l.kelly@usace.army.mil, when all required documents have been uploaded.

If an offeror is a joint venture (JV), the JV entity shall have a valid registration representing the JV as one business/firm/entity. This is applicable to SAM, JCCS, and AISA/MoCI. The Government will not accept separate registrations and licenses from each separate entity representing the JV.

An offeror’s subcontractor(s) are required to be registered and active in JCCS. IAW C-JTSCC Clause 5152.225-5916, offerors are required to submit a listing of all proposed subcontractors, at all tiers, to the Contracting Officer (KO) with the submission of their proposal, and provide updates during life of the contract when subcontractors are added or removed.

Subcontractors at every tier are held to the same installation access requirements, as noted above, as the prime contractor.

Joint Venture. A joint venture (JV) is defined as a legal business entity formed between two or more companies to undertake the performance activities of a contract together. The offerors proposing as JV shall provide evidence that the JV as a legal entity has been duly formed. The JV shall include a copy of the legal JV agreement signed by an authorized officer from each of the firms comprising the JV, with the chief executive of each entity identified. The Government will not evaluate the capability of any firms that are not included in the JV agreement.

If submitting a proposal as a JV, the experience of each of the JV partners can be submitted for the JV entity. The experience of either JV partner will be considered the experience of the joint venture entity.

Page and project form limits apply to the JV as a whole, i.e., a submission limitation of two (2) projects under Factor 1 – Specialized Experience and Technical Competence is not an allowance of two projects for each of the JV partners. Prospective offerors that submit proposals may not change their JV firms, if selected for award.

Subcontractors. If the offeror’s proposal includes the use of subcontractors, the offeror may not change subcontractors without the KO’s approval. If the offeror proposes to change subcontractors after award, the offeror may not change subcontractors or LOC without the KO’s approval. Approval will not be given unless the KO considers the proposed substitute to be equal or better in all respects to the originally proposed subcontractor and that the substitution is in the best interests of the Government.
