Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form

ELECTRONIC CONTRACTING

A.1 Electronic Contracting

(a) All Army Contracting Command solicitations will be publicized on The System for Award

Management website (https://www.sam.gov ). Any additional attachments, including Technical

Data Packages (TDPs) when available electronically, will be separate attachments or links embedded in the solicitation.

(b) Vendors are required to submit a quote or proposal via the System for Award Management website. Proposals or quotes submitted after this date using any other mechanism,including the

Army Single Face to Industry Bid Response System (ASFI BRS) may be deemed non-responsive.

(c) Please pay close attention to the Issued By block location on the cover page of the solicitation for closing date and time. The closing date and time is based on the local time of the listed location of the Issued By office. In accordance with FAR 15.208(a), offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any revisions, and modifications, so as to be received by the

Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified.

(d) It is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure the proposal/quote is received by the date and time specified on the cover page of this solicitation. In accordance with FAR 15.208, if the proposal/quote was not received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure (in this case, received through https://sam.gov) by the exact date and time specified on the cover page of thissolicitation, it will be determined late. Proposal/quote is defined to mean ALL volumes or parts required in the solicitation are included in the electronic submission.

Note: There is no "expected" or "target" length of time for proposal submission; size and content may be factors, therefore offerors are strongly cautioned when submitting proposals to allow adequate time for submission.

(e) Solicitations may remain posted on https://sam.gov after the solicitation closing date. If the response deadline has passed for the solicitation, vendors will no longer be able to submit electronic responses.

(f) Any award issued as a result of this solicitation will be distributed electronically. In the event of a FOIA request for a copy of any award issued as a result of this solicitation, or any subsequent modifications to the contract, the contract and modifications will be released, including the awarded unit price. This is the notice required by Executive Order 12600 (June 23, 1987) of the Governments intention to release unit prices in response to any request under the

Section C - Descriptions and Specifications

SOW

Statement of Work

1. Background: The Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Soldier

Center’s (SC’s) Chemical Biological Innovative Materials Ensemble Development (CBIMED)

Team’s mission is to deliver innovative technology solutions protecting Warfighters against current and emerging chemical & biological (CB) threats, providing core CB competencies and capabilities across the life-cycle for the Protection Capability Focus Areas of Percutaneous

Protection and Hazard Mitigation. There are times when either the testing demand is too high or a testing need is unavailable at DEVCOM SC. In particular, testing with live Chemical Warfare

Agent (CWA) and Toxic Industrial Chemicals (TICs) must conducted elsewhere, at a government certified laboratory.

This extended testing capability will enable CBIMED to both off-load testing and leverage additional test methods in order to satisfy customer needs during the development process. As a Science & Technology (S&T) organization, DEVCOM SC is also active in developing novel coatings, fabrics, materials, and garments for the Soldier. The exploration associated with S&T is often too costly for a credit card purchase and too fast to be hampered by contract development. This testing capability will enable scientists and engineers to quickly explore novel material ideas, demonstrate them, and transition to customers and stakeholders.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

ARMY CONTRACT WRIITING SYSTEM

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 suite 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).

(ii) Information that was entered prior to April 15, 2011; or

7 calendar days remove the posting from FAPIIS and resolve the issue in accordance with agency Freedom of

Information procedures, prior to reposting the releasable information. The contractor must cite 52.209-9 and request removal within 7 calendar days of the posting to FAPIIS.

(2) The Contractor will also have an opportunity to post comments regarding information that has been posted by the Government. The comments will be retained as long as the associated information is retained, i.e., for a total period of 6 years. Contractor comments will remain a part of the record unless the Contractor revises them.

(3) As required by section 3010 of Pub. L. 111-212, all information posted in FAPIIS on or after April 15, 2011, except past performance reviews, will be publicly available.
