SUPPLIES AND PRICES

1. BLANKET PURCHASE AGREEMENT

1.1. This acquisition is issued as unrestricted and full and open competition in accordance with (IAW) Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 6.1 – Full and Open Competition.

1.2. The Government intends to award multiple Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs) IAW FAR 13.303 on a competitive basis, using the best value Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures among price and non-price factors IAW FAR 15.101-2. The Government may award up to five (5) Multiple-Award

(MA) BPAs to the lowest priced technically acceptable Offerors; however, the Government reserves the right to make the final determination on the number of BPAs to award based on the Offerors' ability to provide the required supplies, mission requirements, and the Government’s administrative costs to efficiently administer each BPA awarded as a result of this solicitation. The Government intends to evaluate and award without discussions;

however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions. If discussions are required, they will be conducted with Offerors IAW Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.306.

1.3. The resultant BPAs will be issued on a DD 1155 and will not include Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).

As a result, no CLINs are included in this solicitation.

1.4. The resultant Call Orders from the BPAs will be Firm-Fixed Price (FFP).

1.5. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code of 339113, Surgical Appliance and

13.303-6(b) the Contracting Officer shall review at least annually the resultant BPAs and, if necessary, updated at that time and maintain awareness of changes in market conditions, sources of supply, and other pertinent factors that may warrant making new arrangements with different suppliers or modifying existing arrangements.

2. EXTENT OF OBLIGATIONS

2.1. The Government is obligated only to the extent of authorized purchases/Call Orders ordered and received under the resultant BPAs.

2.2. The maximum amounts identified in Section 9 below shall not be construed as a commitment on the part of the

Request for Quote (CORFQ) shall be released to all BPA holders on a competitive basis using best value LPTA source selection procedures. All Call Orders will be awarded IAW the Statement of Need (SoN) and the terms and conditions of the resultant BPA.

6. SUBCONTRACTS

6.1. Subcontractors

Subcontractors are authorized IAW FAR 19.702. The prime Contractor shall manage all subcontract arrangements.

All subcontractor arrangements must be presented in enough detail to allow the Government to understand conceptually how the General Laboratory Supplies, Chemicals, Scientific and Laboratory Equipment, and Animal

Supplies are to be provided by the Offeror and what will be provided by each subcontractor.

6.2. Additional Subcontractors

6.2.1. Prime Contractors shall obtain Contracting Officer approval of any new subcontractors proposed under this

BPA after the base BPA award within 30 days of the signed agreement. The prime Contractor must ensure the

Contracting Officer is provided the necessary documentation to justify the inclusion of a newly proposed subcontractor on an individual order. This justification documentation, as delineated below, shall be provided to the

Contracting Officer within a reasonable amount of time prior to Call Orders award in order for the Government to conduct proper due diligence. The Government may require a minimum of ninety (90) days, or more, to conduct any needed price or technical analysis.

6.2.2. The prime Contractor must submit justification for proposing new subcontractors. The following documentation shall be included with this justification:

a. Technical Justification – The prime Contractor must explain what value will be added by the newly proposed subcontractor either for a specific individual Call Order or the base award Contract for future Call Orders.

b. Organizational Conflicts of Interest (OCI) Certification – The prime Contractor must verify the proposed subcontractor does not perform other work in support of USAMRICD and AFMES that may create an OCI situation.

The prime Contractor must inform the Contracting Officer whether or not there are any potential OCI issues with the proposed subcontractor and, if there are OCI issues, how the OCI issues will be mitigated.

c. Price Analysis – The prime Contractor must conduct a thorough review of the subcontractor’s proposed prices and determine whether those prices are fair and reasonable for this BPA or for the specific individual Call Orders.

It is further the policy of the United States that is prime contractors establish procedures to ensure the timely payment of amounts due pursuant to the terms of their subcontracts with small business, veteran-owned small business, service disabled veteran owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns.

6.3.1. Subcontracting Plan. IAW FAR 19.702(a)(1), a solicitation of offers to perform a contract that individually is expected to exceed $700,000.00 and has subcontracting possibilities, the Offeror is required to submit a

Subcontracting Plan. Subcontracting Plans are not required from small businesses. If the Offeror is other than a small business, the Offeror’s proposal shall include a Subcontracting Plan IAW FAR 19.704.

7. PERFORMANCE EVALUATION PROCESS

The USAMRAA will use the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) to electronically capture assessment data and manage the performance evaluation process. CPARS is used to assesses a Contractor’s performance and provide a record, both positive and negative, on a given Contract during a specific period of time.

The CPARS process is designed with a series of checks and balances to facilitate the objective and consistent evaluation of Contractor performance. Both Government and Contractor program management perspectives are captured on the CPARS and together make a complete assessment performance report. Once the Assessing Official completes the proposed assessment for the period of performance, the CPARS is released to the appropriate

Government Contractor Representative for their review and comments. User ID and Password will be provided to the designated Government Contractor Representative upon issuance of a Call Order. The Contractor has 30 days after the Government's evaluation is completed to comment on the evaluation. The Government Contractor

Representative must either concur or non-concur to each report in CPARS. If the Contractor concurs with the proposed assessment and the Reviewing Official does not wish to see the report, the Assessing Official may close out the report in CPARS. Otherwise, the Assessing Official must forward the report to the Reviewing Official for them to review via CPARS, enter comments if appropriate, and close out. The Reviewing Official may at their option direct the Assessing Official to forward every report in CPARS to them for review.

8. CONTRACTOR PROPOSALS FOR CALL ORDERS

Offerors submitting Call Orders proposals shall submit the proposal in accordance with the CO RFQ. The proposal shall be submitted electronically in Microsoft Office, Microsoft Excel, or PDF format via e-mail to the Contract

10. BPA CEILING

10.1. The cumulative ceiling amount of all Call Orders and GPC orders issued against the resultant BPAs for the five (5) year ordering period shall not exceed $68,000,000.00. The Offeror agrees the orders placed under the resultant BPAs shall be accomplished within the specified ceiling. Unless the Contracting Officer has notified the

Offeror in writing of an increase in the cumulative ceiling amount, any costs incurred in excess of the ceiling amount shall be borne by the Offeror. The cumulative ceiling amount is a placeholder value assigned to facilitate the issuance of Call Orders and shall not be construed as a commitment on part of the Government for guaranteed

Call Order values.
