SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

Addenda to 52.212-1(b), Submission of Proposals. The paragraph is tailored as follows:

Paragraph (b), the second sentence is deleted and replaced with the following: “Proposals must be submitted on the SF 1449 and accompanied by all requested items elsewhere specified in the solicitation.

Paragraph (b) (10) is deleted and replaced by information required to be submitted in Volume III of the proposal.

Addenda to 52.212-1(c), Period for Acceptance of Proposals. The paragraph is tailored as follows: “The Offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of proposals.”

Addenda to 52.212-1(e), Multiple Proposals. This paragraph is deleted in its entirety.

Addenda to 52.212-1(g), the following paragraph is added to the end of the current paragraph as follows: "After evaluating proposals, if discussions are deemed necessary, the contracting officer may determine that the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted. In this event, 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."

Addenda to 52.212-1 (m) Organizational Conflict of Interest. For those Offerors planning to engage in a teaming arrangement or to use subcontractors, a conflict of interest may be created if a company is identified as a prime Offeror, teaming partner/subcontractor, or as a member of a Joint Venture on more than one proposal. Each participating company shall only submit one proposal. If the contracting officer concludes during proposal evaluation that a potential conflict of interest exists because one or more companies have participated in more than one proposal as a prime Offeror, teaming partner/subcontractor, or as a member of a Joint Venture, the contracting officer reserves the right to require a conflict of interest mitigation plan from the prime Offerors of those proposals.

If an Offeror fails to submit a plan, or submits an inadequate plan, the Offeror may not be considered.

INSTALLATION ACCESS. Effective 1 May 2013, access to Fort Sam Houston (FSH) Main is closed except for pre-vetted and approved credential holders IAW Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement 5352.242-9000 (Contractor Access to Air Force Installations); AFI 31-101 (Integrated Defense); AFI 31-113 (Installation Perimeter Access Control); and AFI 31-502 (Defense Biometric Identification Systems (DBIDS) Operations. Therefore, the US Government (USG) is not responsible for delays at the gate when proposed Offerors are in the process of delivering proposals to the Health Readiness Contracting Office (HRCO) office at Bldg 4197 by the due date and time annotated on the Request for Proposal.

Performance assessments shall meet the relevancy definition in Addendum to 52.212-2 and performance must have occurred within the last three years prior but not less than six months of the issuance date on the solicitation. The total number of performance assessment submissions shall include prime and any major subcontractor(s) projected to perform on any resultant contract.

PRAQs should be completed by a member of the program office, administrative contracting office, end users of the service provided, or any other technical or business advisor who has knowledge of the Contractor’s performance. The USG will use the results of submitted questionnaires as a method to evaluate an Offeror’s past performance. The Offeror shall provide a copy of the attached PRAQs to each POC with a letter the same as or similar to that at Attachment 7 entitled “Sample Questionnaire Cover Letter”. Instruct each source to complete and e-mail the entire questionnaire to Ms. Quinella M. Purks at e-mail: quinella.m.purks.civ@mail.mil.

Upon examination of the initial proposals, the contracting officer will review this determination and if in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, adequate competition exists no additional cost information will be requested.

However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate competition no longer exists; Offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness of Offerors’ price proposals. Additionally, all information related to pricing shall be included in Volume IV of the proposal only. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES should pricing information be included elsewhere in the proposal. A complete Volume IV shall include the information below:

Section 1. COMPENSATION PLAN – WRITTEN NARRATIVE (SEE FAR 52.222-46)
