5152.233-4000 AMC-LEVEL PROTEST PROGRAM (Feb 2014) (LOCAL CLAUSE)

Prior to submitting an agency protest, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve your concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you may also file a protest to the Headquarters (HQ), Army Materiel Command (AMC). The HQ AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 35 calendar days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the HQ AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below.

Headquarters U.S. Army Materiel Command Office of Command Counsel-Deputy Command Counsel 4400 Martin Road Rm: A6SE040.001 Redstone Arsenal, AL 35898-5000 Fax: (256) 450-8840 or email usarmy.redstone.usamc.mbx.protests@army.mil

The AMC-Level Protest procedures are found at: http://www.amc.army.mil/amc/commandcounsel.html.

If internet access is not available, contact the contracting officer or HQ, AMC to obtain the HQ AMC-Level Protest Procedures.

Although this contract is not subject to the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) or the Defense Supplement (DFARS), FAR clauses useful in protecting the interests of the Government and implementing those provisions required by law are included in this contract.

b. Option Clause

(1) The Government may extend the term of this contract by written notice to the contractor within a minimum of ten (10) days prior to the expiration of the contract; provided that the Government shall give the contractor a preliminary written notice of its intent to exercise the option at least 60 days before the contract expires. The preliminary notice does not commit the Government to exercise the option.

(2) If the Government exercises this option, the extended contract shall be considered to include this option provision.

(3) The total duration of this contract, including the exercise of any options under this clause shall not exceed five (5) years.

c. Default Clause:

(b) Make progress, so as to endanger performance of this contract;

(c) Perform any of the other provision of this contract.

(2) If the Government terminates this contract in whole or in part, it may acquire, under the terms and in the manner the Contracting Officer considers appropriate, supplies or services similar to those terminated. However, the contractor shall continue the work not terminated.

(3) The rights and remedies of the Government in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract.

d. Termination For Convenience. The Contracting Officer, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, if the services contracted for are no longer required by the U.S. Government, or when it is in the U.S.

Government’s interest, such as with installation closures, any such termination shall be at no cost to the U.S. Government. The U.S. Government will use its best efforts to mitigate financial hardship on the publisher.

2. Term of Contract. This CE contract is entered into for an initial period of performance from 28 March 2023 through 27 March 2024. The time from the date of contract award to the start of contract performance will serve as a contract phase-in period, to insure that equipment is installed (after removal of equipment by the previous contractor, if required), files are turned over and that there is an orderly transition. This contract may be extended for one year at a time for up to four additional years beyond the base year. The total period of the contract, including options, shall not exceed 5 years, after which the contract must be recompeted.

3. Exercise of Options. Under normal circumstances, when the contractor is performing satisfactorily, options for additional periods of performance should be exercised. However, the exercise of the option is the exclusive right of the Government, and decisions not to exercise the option, or to test the market before option exercise, are within the Contracting Officer’s discretion working in concert with the PAO and other officials.

4. Modification of the Contract. Any changes to the Statement Of Work or other terms and conditions of the contract shall be made by written contract modification signed by both parties.
