The following have been modified:
B.1 The Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) shown at Schedule B may be utilized in a Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF), Cost No-Fee (Cost), or Not-Separately-Priced (NSP) basis for Task/Delivery Orders issued under this contract. Each future Task/Delivery Order will be reviewed by the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) to determine the applicable contract type to meet those requirements. Individual Task/Delivery Orders may specify other contract types but must incorporate all applicable clauses into the Task/Delivery Order.
B.2 The collective ceiling for all contracts awarded under NCRC EPOS is $2,415,685,748.00, which may be ordered during the 10-year ordering period. Over the life of the contract the cumulative total of all delivery/task orders awarded will not exceed the ceiling without prior written approval of the PCO. The guaranteed minimum amount for each NCRC EPOS MATOC contract is $30,000.00.
B.2.1 To meet the guaranteed minimum at time of contract award, the Government will issue a Task Order 0001, entitled National Cyber Range Complex (NCRC) Innovation and Technology Council (NITC), to each awardee.
B.2.2 If a contract awardee never receives an additional Task/Delivery Order, or all option CLINs under Task Order 0001 are not exercised, the guaranteed minimum shall be considered satisfied when the contractor completes effort totaling at least $30,000.00 under the NITC Task Order 0001.
B.3 CLINs 0002 through 0007, 1001 through 1006 and 2001 through 2006 are established in Schedule B for the sole purpose of facilitating administration of the contract in the Governments’ Standard Procurement System (SPS).
Pricing for Task/Delivery Order CLINs will be at the individual Task/Delivery Order level as negotiated.
B.4 CLINs 0008, 1007 and 2007 represent requirements for the delivery of data in accordance with DD Form 1423, entitled Contract Data Requirements Lists, incorporated by reference at Section J as Exhibit A, Exhibit B and Exhibit C. The CDRLs under the base contract shall not be duplicated under when placing orders: changes to CDRLS shall be described in an addendum that will be made an attachment to the orders. New CDRLS may be incorporated under the base contract. As needed, unique CDRLs may be incorporated under Task/Delivery Orders at Section J of the order.
B.5 When applicable during performance, the Defense Acquisition Regulation Supplement requires establishment of separate line items at the contract level for Contractor Manpower Reporting (CLIN 0009, 1008 and 2008) and Contractor Acquired Property (CLIN 0010, 1009 and 2009). However, actual performance will be identified when each order is placed where applicable: the priced/not separately priced line item numbers at the order level need not be the same as the CLINs identified in Schedule B of the contract.
B.6 The NCRC EPOS Rate Guide incorporated by reference at Section J consists of “Not to Exceed” rates. The rates contained in the NCRC EPOS Rate Guide will be based on the Offeror’s fiscal year and will include rates for the 10-year ordering period.
B.6.1 Reserved
B.6.2 The proposed rates and labor categories in the NCRC EPOS Rate Guide will be used as Not to Exceed rates for any work under the contract (i.e., CPFF, Cost, FFP efforts) for the entire ten-year ordering period. At the Task/Delivery Order level, awardees may propose rates lower than the rates proposed in the NCRC EPOS Rate Guide; however, in no event will rates proposed at the Task/Delivery Order level exceed the rates proposed in the NCRC EPOS Rate Guide.
B.6.3 Labor categories not listed in the NCRC EPOS Rate Guide may be needed for a given delivery or task order.
Such labor categories, along with the fully burdened rates, may be proposed on a delivery/task order basis and will be binding only for that respective order unless incorporated into the NCRC EPOS Rate Guide.
B.7 Offerors shall not provide pricing for any CLINs identified in Schedule B below.
SECTION I - CONTRACT CLAUSES
The following have been added by reference:
252.209-7009 Organizational Conflict of Interest--Major Defense
Acquisition Program

52.219-28 POST-AWARD SMALL BUSINESS PROGRAM RE-REPRESENTATION (JULY 2013)
(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--
Long-term contract means a contract of more than five years in duration, including options. However, the term does not include contracts that exceed five years in duration because the period of performance has been extended for a cumulative period not to exceed six months under the clause at 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or other appropriate authority.
Small business concern means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the criteria in 13 CFR part 121 and the size standard in paragraph (c) of this clause. Such a concern is ``not dominant in its field of operation'' when it does not exercise a controlling or major influence on a national basis in a kind of business activity in which a number of business concerns are primarily engaged. In determining whether dominance exists, consideration shall be given to all appropriate factors, including volume of business, number of employees, financial resources, competitive status or position, ownership or control of materials, processes, patents, license agreements, facilities, sales territory, and nature of business activity.
(b) If the Contractor represented that it was a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor shall represent its size status according to paragraph (e) of this clause or, if applicable, paragraph (g) of this clause, upon the occurrence of any of the following:
(1) Within 30 days after execution of a novation agreement or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the novation agreement was executed prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.
(2) Within 30 days after a merger or acquisition that does not require a novation or within 30 days after modification of the contract to include this clause, if the merger or acquisition occurred prior to inclusion of this clause in the contract.
(3) For long-term contracts--
(i) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the end of the fifth year of the contract; and
(ii) Within 60 to 120 days prior to the date specified in the contract for exercising any option thereafter.
(c) The Contractor shall represent its size status in accordance with the size standard in effect at the time of this re-representation that corresponds to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code assigned to this contract. The small business size standard corresponding to this NAICS code can be found at http://www.sba.gov/content/table-small-business-size-standards.
(d) The small business size standard for a Contractor providing a product which it does not manufacture itself, for a contract other than a construction or service contract, is 500 employees.
(e) Except as provided in paragraph (g) of this clause, the Contractor shall make the representation required by paragraph (b) of this clause by validating or updating all its representations in the Representations and Certifications section of the System for Award Management (SAM) and its other data in SAM, as necessary, to ensure that they reflect the Contractor's current status. The Contractor shall notify the contracting office in writing within the timeframes specified in paragraph (b) of this clause that the data have been validated or updated, and provide the date of the validation or update.
(f) If the Contractor represented that it was other than a small business concern prior to award of this contract, the Contractor may, but is not required to, take the actions required by paragraphs (e) or (g) of this clause.
(g) If the Contractor does not have representations and certifications in SAM, or does not have a representation in SAM for the NAICS code applicable to this contract, the Contractor is required to complete the following re-representation and submit it to the contracting office, along with the contract number and the date on which the re-representation was completed:
The Contractor represents that it ( ) is, ( ) is not a small business concern under NAICS Code 541519 - assigned to contract number W900KK-21-D-TBD.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS
Introduction
This Section L takes precedence over any conflicting instructions found at FAR 52.215-1. The Government's solicitation W900KK-20-R-0011 provides the Offeror with the following elements: Sections A - M with Exhibits and Attachments incorporated at Section J. To facilitate locating documents contained within the solicitation all attachments are numbered sequentially. Attachments 1 – 5 will be incorporated at Section J of the contracts awarded to successful Offerors.
An awardable Task Order 0001 is described at Section J of the solicitation as Attachment 6. Attachments to Task Order 0001 are described sequentially at Section J of the solicitation as Attachments 7 – 11 with Attachment 9 marked as RESERVED. However, the solicitation Attachments 7 – 11 are described as Attachments 1 – 5 in Section J of Task Order 0001, and will be relabeled as Attachments 1-5 at time of award.
Two unawardable sample Task Orders that will be used for evaluation purposes only are included at Section J as Attachment 12 for Lot 1 (Full-and Open) and Attachment 18 for Lot 2 (Small Business Set-Aside). The Sample Charleston (CHS) Site Services Model Task Order at Attachment 12 includes Attachments 13 – 17 with Attachment 13 marked as RESERVED in Section J. The sample Information Technology System Management (ITSM) Task Order at Attachment 18 includes Attachments 19 – 23 with Attachments 19 and 22 marked as RESERVED in Section J.
Additional attachments to the solicitation are necessary to conduct a source selection. They are located at Section J as Attachment 24 through Attachment 42.
Exhibits A – C shall be incorporated in the contract(s) at Section J. Each order placed shall specify which of the Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLS) at Exhibit A – C are applicable to the order and therefore are incorporated by reference. At the order level an “Exhibit Supplement” shall describe differences between the CDRLs incorporated at Section J of the contract(s), and requirements under an order. For example, revised markings, mailing addresses and any other change required for performance under the order.
New CDRL(s) for work that is within the scope of the NCRC EPOS contract may be created when placing orders and incorporated at Section J of the contract, or if unique to an order incorporated at Section J of the order.
Offerors are advised that the costs of any response to, or other costs incurred as a result of responding to this solicitation, are at the Offeror’s own risk. Any costs incurred in preparing a response to this solicitation, may be attributable to Bid and Proposal (B&P) overhead costs, but may not be directly charged to any resulting awarded contract. B&P costs for this solicitation are costs covered by CAS 420/FAR 31.205-18.

L.1.7 General Guidance
L.1.7.1 This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The Offeror shall not submit additional proposal information that is not specifically requested by this solicitation. Such additional proposal information will not be considered during the evaluation process. The Offeror’s proposal shall be compliant with these submission instructions (Section L) and shall meet requirements as stated for NCRC EPOS.
L.1.7.2 In presenting material in their proposal, Offerors are advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated assertions. Elaborate brochures or presentations, detailed art work and other documents beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are unnecessary and are not desired.
L.1.7.3 The proposal shall be specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks, and is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements.
L.1.7.4 The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the NCRC EPOS requirements. Paraphrasing the Performance Work Statement(s) or parts thereof is inadequate, as are phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well-known techniques will be used.”
L.1.7.5 Clarity and readability are very important. The Government will not infer meanings from vague or ambiguous language. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can or will comply with the specifications are considered inadequate and unsatisfactory. Mere reiteration of the requirement or standard reference material is discouraged and may be considered inadequate and non-compliant. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to present enough information to be meaningfully evaluated without discussions.
L.1.7.6 Offerors must assume any data they have previously submitted in response to another solicitation, whether to: Department of Defense Test Resource Management Center (TRMC), the Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Project Manager Cyber, Test, and Training (PM CT2) [previously known as Project Manager Instrumentation, Targets, Threat Simulators, and SOF Training Systems (PM ITTS)], U.S. Army Contracting Command – Orlando (ACC-ORL), or another agency should be assumed unavailable during this proposal evaluation and source selection process. Proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other source. Any references to sources not provided with an Offeror’s proposal will not be considered.
L.1.8 Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience. The Government will base its evaluation on only the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal and information received in support of the past performance evaluation. The use of hyperlinks in any document that link to material outside of that document is prohibited. The Government will not assume that an Offeror has proposed anything that is not expressly stated in its proposal.
OFFERORS ARE HEREBY ON NOTICE THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL PERFORM AN INITIAL
ASSESSMENT OF ALL OF THE PROPOSALS RECEIVED FOR COMPLIANCE WITH THE
SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS. A FAILURE TO SUBMIT ALL THE REQUIRED
DOCUMENTATION IN EXACTLY THE MANNER (TIMELINESS AND FORMAT) SPECIFIED IN THE
SOLICITATION MAY CONSTITUTE A BASIS FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO REJECT A PROPOSAL
AS NON-COMPLIANT AND THEREFORE UNEVALUATABLE AND MAY BE ELIMINATED FROM
THE COMPETITION WITHOUT FURTHER EVALUATION, AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF THE
PROCURING CONTRACTING OFFICER
L.1.9 General Instructions
L.1.9.1 Submission of the digital proposal is due in accordance with paragraph L.1.4. The Government may issue one or more Solicitation Amendment(s) prior to the deadline for final proposal submissions based upon the questions received. However, the Government does not anticipate that the closing date for receipt of offers will be extended.
L.1.9.2 If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the PCO in writing with supporting rationale. Use of e-mail for PCO notification citing the solicitation number in the subject line is encouraged when a discrepancy is noted. A courtesy copy of all e-mail correspondence submitted to the PCO regarding discrepancies shall be provided to the POC and APOC. Please follow the e-mail with an immediate telephone call to the POC, APOC, or PCO. Upon receipt of this notification, the Government will provide a written response as soon as practicable.
L.1.9.3 Offerors shall not make any changes to the solicitation. Any objections to the terms and conditions of the solicitation should be addressed to the Contracting Officer prior to the Proposal Submittal Date. The Offeror shall identify any exceptions to the terms and conditions set forth in this solicitation, the remedy sought and the impact if the Government does not concur with the exceptions. The Offeror shall advise of any exceptions filed by their subcontractors and the Offeror’s resolution of the exceptions. The Government does not envision any changes to the terms and conditions and any changes proposed to the terms and conditions will not be accepted or made.
L.1.9.4 Questions and comments regarding the solicitation shall be submitted in writing using the NCRC EPOS Solicitation Comment Form, listed at Section J as Attachment 24. A separate NCRC EPOS Solicitation Comment Form shall be submitted for each question or comment.
L.1.9.4.1 If an Offeror perceives a question/comment may reveal proprietary or protected information, it must clearly mark the subject sentence or paragraphs and notify the Government that it considers the information proprietary. If the Government does not agree the information is proprietary the Government may choose not to respond to the question/comment.
L.1.9.4.2 If the Government deems one or more questions or comments are appropriate, the question(s)/comment(s) and a Government response will be published through the issuance of an update to the solicitation announcement prior to the deadline for final proposal submissions provided those questions are received by the due dates outlined in Paragraph L.1.4. Questions and/or Comments that result in a change to the solicitation shall be published to beta.SAM.gov as an amendment to the solicitation.
L.1.9.4.3 Offerors shall submit questions and comments regarding this solicitation by electronic mail addressed to all three POCs identified in Paragraph L.1.6 citing the solicitation number W900KK-20-R-0011 in the subject line.
L.1.9.4.4 Questions or comments may not be submitted via e-mail if the content reveals technical data that may be considered Export Controlled. Please submit Export Controlled related questions via DoD Secure Access File Exchange (SAFE) (https://safe.apps.mil/) provided that the files are unclassified. Offerors without Common Access Card (CAC) access will need to email ricardo.colonacevedo.civ@mail.mil and david.b.hector.civ@mail.mil to request a “Drop-off” link.
L.1.9.4.5 Questions and Comments received after the due dates outlined in Paragraph L.1.4 may not be answered prior to proposal submission or at all. Questions that are received after the first question window closes and before the second window opens will not be considered. Offeror’s are encouraged to review the contents of the Government’s answers to the questions before submitting any additional questions in the second question window.
Accordingly, Offerors are encouraged to carefully review all solicitation requirements and submit questions to the Government early in the proposal preparation cycle.
IN THE EVENT OF ANY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE RESPONSE TO QUESTIONS/COMMENTS AND THE
SOLICITATION, THE SOLICITATION (INCLUDING ANY AMENDMENTS) SHALL TAKE PRECEDENCE.
L.1.9.5 The Offerors shall ensure that each proposal Volume submitted contains only the information relevant to that specific Volume. The Offerors are cautioned that each Volume of the proposal is evaluated stand-alone against the criteria set forth in Section M of the solicitation and the evaluators for one Volume may be different than the evaluators of another Volume. It is incumbent upon the Offerors to ensure they properly submit their proposals. If the data is not contained in the appropriate Volume of the proposal it will not be evaluated.
L.1.9.6 The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unachievable in terms of program commitments and technical capability, including contract terms and conditions.
L.1.9.7 The successful Offeror will be required to comply with all aspects of the requirements documents for the NCRC EPOS contract, and Task Order 0001 for NITC resulting from this solicitation. Features offered beyond the requirements of this solicitation that are determined to be beneficial to the Government may be incorporated into the resultant contract/order and may result in an amendment to the PWS and other requirement documents for the contract/ order.

L.1.12 Discussions and Competitive Range Approaches
L.1.12.1 In accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1, entitled Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition, the Government may evaluate proposals and make awards without conducting discussions with Offerors (except Clarifications as described in FAR Subpart 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms.
L.1.12.2 If the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines that discussions are necessary, then a competitive range will be established by the PCO before entering into discussions.
L.1.12.3 Discussion format (written, face-to-face, or teleconference), is at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. If discussions are conducted face-to-face, or via teleconference, the PCO will schedule the discussion sessions, and each Offeror will be notified of the time and place at least five (5) business days prior to their discussion session. The PCO will provide additional instructions with the notification. Discussions may take place at a facility of the Government’s choosing in Orlando, Florida.
L.1.13 Determination of Competitive Range
L.1.13.1 Proposals shall be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305(a), and, if discussions are to be conducted, establish the competitive range. Based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria, the Contracting Officer shall establish a competitive range comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals, unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency pursuant to paragraph (c)(2) of this section.
L.1.13.2 After evaluating all proposals in accordance with FAR 15.305(a) and FAR 15.306(c)(1), 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. Pursuant with FAR 52.215-1(f)(4)), 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 (10 U.S.C. 2305(b)(4) and 41 U.S.C. 3703).
L.1.14 Debriefings
The PCO will promptly notify Offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range in accordance with FAR 15.503(a), whereupon they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Upon award of the NCRC EPOS contracts and NITC Task Order 0001, the PCO will notify unsuccessful Offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.503(b). Upon such notification, unsuccessful Offerors may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.506. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or FAR 15.506, as applicable. Debriefing format is at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.
