Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Contractors

a. The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Contract.

b. During this transition period, Contractors are hereby advised:

1. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to generate distributable copies of this contract during its period of performance, as well as any subsequent modifications or orders (if applicable). As a result:

i. Subsequent documents you receive may appear noticeably different than the original award or previous contractual documents from the same Contracting Office.

ii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning contract terms and conditions to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued.

iii. Contractors shall ensure Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems and personnel interacting with this contract are prepared to identify and respond appropriately to differences between document versions.

2. The Government does not intend to use the shift between contract writing systems to effect any changes to Contract terms and conditions. Therefore:

i. Contractors should view changes to terms or conditions between document versions as system-generated and potentially erroneous unless accompanied by narrative(s) designating such changes as deliberate and desired.

ii. Contractors shall inform the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the most recent document issued for guidance regarding any suspected or observed inadvertent or system-generated changes (e.g. noticing something missing in a new conformed copy).

iii. The Government will correct any inadvertent or system-generated changes, additions, or omissions discovered by either party, via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor.

iv. The terms and conditions contained in the latest document reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the last conformed copy of the award not affected by the observed issue) will take precedence until these problems are corrected.

3. In the unlikely event award information is corrupted or mutilated during system migration and replacement or re-issuance of this contract is necessary for continued contract administration, the Contracting Officer will:

i. Issue a continuation contract in accordance with DFARS 204.1601(c) and DFARS PGI 204.1601(c), carrying over all terms and conditions from the last-known version of this contract accurately reflecting mutual agreement of the parties.

ii. Incorporate the last-known version of this contract accurately reflecting mutual agreement of the parties as an attachment to the replacement or continuation contract for future reference.

iii. Ensure any such reissuance or continuance is properly reported to preserve the integrity of Contractor performance measurement data, if any (e.g. FAPIIS, CPARS).

Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Offerors

c. The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying a new contract writing software to Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software will soon replace the legacy Army contract writing systems.

d. During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:

4. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (e.g. solicitation amendments and awards, if any). Due to this:

i. This solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same Contracting Office (e.g. requiring offer submission via the PIEE Solicitation Module vs. e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer.

ii. If the Contracting Office switches contract writing systems prior to award, documents you receive from the Contracting Officer or view on SAM.gov or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.

iii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response (amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or Contracting Officer.

5. The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new contract writing software, you, as the Offeror, may still be the first to spot such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:

i. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions affect your award eligibility, violate or alter existing quote/proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.

ii. Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the Contracting Office throughout the Solicitation and Award process.

iii. Contact the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the solicitation or solicitation amendment for guidance if you notice or suspect any inadvertent change has occurred between document issuances.

6. The Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents (if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.

7. In the unlikely event that a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:

i. May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.

ii. Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.

iii. Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.

iv. Will issue a complete, properly formatted award that accurately reflects this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.

52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items NOV 2021

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. Award will be made to the responsible offeror on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of quotes meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Award may be made without discussions with offerors (except communications conducted for the purpose of minor clarification). Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a technical and price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if it is later determined by the contracting officer to be necessary.

a. Evaluation Process: Award will be made using the lowest-price, technically-acceptable offer. The Government will initially list proposals from lowest to highest price. If a proposal is rated Technically Unacceptable, the Government will not evaluate any other factor. USING THIS PROCEDURE, THE GOVERNMENT MIGHT NOT EVALUATE ALL PROPOSALS. Quotes receiving a rating of “less than adequate” or “not acceptable” will not be eligible for award. In order to be eligible for award the offeror shall provide pricing responses for all CLINS.

b. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation is Lowest Price, Technically Acceptable (LPTA). Award will be made on all or nothing basis. The following evaluation factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

Technically Acceptability and Price as outlined below:

EVALUATION PROCESS:

The following evaluation factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability: Offer will be found technically acceptable if the offer meets the supply and performance requirements, can meet all of the requirements of the Solicitation and all of the subfactors listed below.

Offeror’s response shall include the manufacturer’s authorization letter.

Offeror must meet the salient physical, functional, or performances characteristic specified in this solicitation and clearly describe any modification the offeror plans to make in a product to make it conform to the solicitation requirements. Mark any descriptive material to clearly show the modification.

By providing pricing for each CLIN/Sub-CLIN Offeror agrees with the description requirements therein.

Technical Acceptability: Offer will be found technically acceptable if the offer meets the salient physical, functional, or performances characteristic specified in this solicitation in accordance with the requirements of the Solicitation and CLIN Structure and includes the manufacturers’ authorization letter.

Acceptable Rating: Respond according to the CLIN Structure and provide Manufacturers authorization letter.

Unacceptable Rating: Failure to possess a pricing in accordance with CLIN structure or provide Manufacturers authorization letter.

An “unacceptable” rating on any of these subfactors will make the overall technical rating “unacceptable” which makes the proposal to be ineligible for award.

As indicated in 52.212-1, if Section C of FAR 52.204-26 is not returned or completed or the online Representations and Certifications is not completed in the System for Award Management, the offeror will not be eligible for award.

Price.

a. The quote must clearly indicate the CLIN pricing, and overall contract pricing. Evaluation of price will include a determination that the price is fair and reasonable.

b. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, will be furnished via e-mail to the successful offeror and shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

(i) Cloud computing services shall be subject to the security requirements specified in the clause 252.239- 7010, Cloud Computing Services, of this contract.

(ii) Any other such IT service or system (i.e., other than cloud computing) shall be subject to the security requirements specified elsewhere in this contract.

(2) For covered contractor information systems that are not part of an IT service or system operated on behalf of the Government and therefore are not subject to the security requirement specified at paragraph (b)(1) of this clause, the following security requirements apply:

(i) Except as provided in paragraph (b)(2)(ii) of this clause, the covered contractor information system shall be subject to the security requirements in National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Special Publication (SP) 800-171, “Protecting Controlled Unclassified Information in Nonfederal Information Systems and Organizations”, Revision 2 (available via the internet at https://csrc.nist.gov/publications/sp800).

(ii)(A) The Contractor shall implement NIST SP 800-171, as soon as practical, but not later than December 31, 2017. For all contracts awarded prior to October 1, 2017, the Contractor shall notify the DoD Chief Information Officer (CIO), via email at osd.dibcsia@mail.mil, within 30 days of contract award, of any security requirements specified by NIST SP 800-171 not implemented at the time of contract award.

(B) The Contractor shall submit requests to vary from NIST SP 800-171 in writing to the Contracting Officer, for consideration by the DoD CIO. The Contractor need not implement any security requirement adjudicated by an authorized representative of the DoD CIO to be nonapplicable or to have an alternative, but equally effective, security measure that may be implemented in its place.

(C) If the DoD CIO has previously adjudicated the contractor’s requests indicating that a requirement is not applicable or that an alternative security measure is equally effective, a copy of that approval shall be provided to the Contracting Officer when requesting its recognition under this contract.

(D) If the Contractor intends to use an external cloud service provider to store, process, or transmit any covered defense information in performance of this contract, the Contractor shall require and ensure that the cloud service provider meets security requirements equivalent to those established by the Government for the Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate baseline (https://www.fedramp.gov/documentstemplates/) and that the cloud service provider complies with requirements in paragraphs (c) through (g) of this clause for cyber incident reporting, malicious software, media preservation and protection, access to additional information and equipment necessary for forensic analysis, and cyber incident damage assessment.

(3) Apply other information systems security measures when the Contractor reasonably determines that information systems security measures, in addition to those identified in paragraphs (b)(1) and (2) of this clause, may be required to provide adequate security in a dynamic environment or to accommodate special circumstances (e.g., medical devices) and any individual, isolated, or temporary deficiencies based on an assessed risk or vulnerability. These measures may be addressed in a system security plan.

(c) Cyber incident reporting requirement.

(1) When the Contractor discovers a cyber incident that affects a covered contractor information system or the covered defense information residing therein, or that affects the contractor’s ability to perform the requirements of the contract that are designated as operationally critical support and identified in the contract, the Contractor shall—

(i) Conduct a review for evidence of compromise of covered defense information, including, but not limited to, identifying compromised computers, servers, specific data, and user accounts. This review shall also include analyzing covered contractor information system(s) that were part of the cyber incident, as well as other information systems on the Contractor’s network(s), that may have been accessed as a result of the incident in order to identify compromised covered defense information, or that affect the Contractor’s ability to provide operationally critical support; and

(ii) Rapidly report cyber incidents to DoD at https://dibnet.dod.mil.

(2) Cyber incident report. The cyber incident report shall be treated as information created by or for DoD and shall include, at a minimum, the required elements at https://dibnet.dod.mil.

(3) Medium assurance certificate requirement. In order to report cyber incidents in accordance with this clause, the Contractor or subcontractor shall have or acquire a DoD-approved medium assurance certificate to report cyber incidents. For information on obtaining a DoD-approved medium assurance certificate, see https://public.cyber.mil/eca/.

(d) Malicious software. When the Contractor or subcontractors discover and isolate malicious software in connection with a reported cyber incident, submit the malicious software to DoD Cyber Crime Center (DC3) in accordance with instructions provided by DC3 or the Contracting Officer. Do not send the malicious software to the Contracting Officer.

(e) Media preservation and protection. When a Contractor discovers a cyber incident has occurred, the Contractor shall preserve and protect images of all known affected information systems identified in paragraph (c)(1)(i) of this clause and all relevant monitoring/packet capture data for at least 90 days from the submission of the cyber incident report to allow DoD to request the media or decline interest.

(f) Access to additional information or equipment necessary for forensic analysis. Upon request by DoD, the Contractor shall provide DoD with access to additional information equipment that is necessary to conduct a forensic analysis.

(g) Cyber incident damage assessment activities. If DoD elects to conduct a damage assessment, the Contracting Officer will request that the Contractor provide all of the damage assessment information gathered in accordance with paragraph (e) of this clause.

(h) DoD safeguarding and use of contractor attributional/proprietary information. The Government shall protect against the unauthorized use or release of information obtained from the contractor (or derived from information obtained from the contractor) under this clause that includes contractor attributional/proprietary information, including such information submitted in accordance with paragraph (c). To the maximum extent practicable, the Contractor shall identify and mark attributional/proprietary information. In making an authorized release of such information, the Government will implement appropriate procedures to minimize the contractor attributional/proprietary information that is included in such authorized release, seeking to include only that information that is necessary for the authorized purpose(s) for which the information is being released.

(i) Use and release of contractor attributional/proprietary information not created by or for DoD.

Information that is obtained from the contractor (or derived from information obtained from the contractor) under this clause that is not created by or for DoD is authorized to be released outside of DoD—

(1) To entities with missions that may be affected by such information;

(2) To entities that may be called upon to assist in the diagnosis, detection, or mitigation of cyber incidents;

(3) To Government entities that conduct counterintelligence or law enforcement investigations;

(4) For national security purposes, including cyber situational awareness and defense purposes (including with Defense Industrial Base (DIB) participants in the program at 32 CFR part 236); or

(5) To a support services contractor (“recipient”) that is directly supporting Government activities under a contract that includes the clause at 252.204-7009, Limitations on the Use or Disclosure of Third-Party Contractor Reported Cyber Incident Information.

(j) Use and release of contractor attributional/proprietary information created by or for DoD. Information that is obtained from the contractor (or derived from information obtained from the contractor) under this clause that is created by or for DoD (including the information submitted pursuant to paragraph (c) of this clause) is authorized to be used and released outside of DoD for purposes and activities authorized by paragraph (i) of this clause, and for any other lawful Government purpose or activity, subject to all applicable statutory, regulatory, and policy based restrictions on the Government’s use and release of such information.
