VENDOR QUESTIONS

Q1: PWS 4.1 - It is not industry standard to provide consumable supplies (ink tape/labels, etc.) due to unknown volume and usage. Startup supplies are included with the postage machine upon installation. Supplies can be procured via the GSA contracts. Can you please specify that ink and postage meter tapes/labels are not required to be included?

A1: Ink and postage meter tapes/labels will be supplied in the initial setup of the meter machine. After initial setup, Ink and postage meter tapes/labels will be procured by the Official Mail Distribution Center.

Q2: Is processing of mail defined as automatic feed and seal, if necessary, up to .75” thick mail?

A2: Yes.

Q3: Shall the vendor provide Federal Government discounted Schedule 48 postage rates within the Intelligent Mail Package Barcode metering rather than the less-discounted commercially available IMPB postage rates?

Q3: Yes.

Q4: Will a current FedRAMP Marketplace ‘In Process’ designation satisfy the requirements to be RMF Accredited for the product solutions considering that FedRAMP follows NIST guidelines for security controls?

A4: FedRAMP is not the same as RMF Accreditation. There is a process that vendors need to go through to have the product (machine) accredited. Risk Management Framework is required for all systems that are connected to a DoD system that house DoD information. The previous term for RMF was Certificate of Noteworthiness (CON).

Q5: If the answer is ‘No’ to Q4, what is the process necessary to secure RMF Accreditation?

A5: Vendor would have to consult with their IT department that deals with the Department of Defense.

Q6: Does the mail meter requirement “must be able to prompt the operator to confirm zero metered imprint” restrict the requirement to 1 vendor?

A6: This mail meter requirement has been removed. Please see the updated Attachment 2.

The following have been modified:

1.5.1. Quality Control:

Quality Control is the responsibility of the contractor. The contractor is responsible for the delivery of quality services/supplies to the Government (see FAR 52.212-4, Contractor Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items). A formal Quality Control Plan (QCP) is not required for this commercial service. However, the contractor shall maintain an inspection system commensurate with commercial practices to ensure the Contractor only tenders for acceptance those items or services that conform to the requirements of this contract.

1.5.2. Quality Assurance: The Government shall evaluate the contractor’s performance under this contract in accordance with the Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP). This plan is a Government only document primarily focused on what the Government must do to assure that the contractor has performed in accordance with the requirements of the contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. Non-conforming services shall be re-performed at no increase in contract price. If non-conforming services are recurring, cannot be re-performed, or the services fail to achieve the Performance Requirements Summary (PRS), the Government may reject the nonconforming service(s) and document the contractor’s performance record accordingly. The Government may also issue a Non-Conformance Report (NCR) in which the contractor will be required to respond with the development of a corrective action plan (CAP) which identifies the root cause, Corrective Action (CA) for the root cause, CA for the specific nonconformance, and the date the CAs will be complete. The Government may also reduce the payment to the contractor IAW the PRS, or reduce payment to reflect the value of the services performed, or may perform the services and charge the Contractor for any related cost incurred and/or may terminate this contract for cause.

1.5.2.1. Non-conforming Supplies or Services: When a contractor’s performance does not meet contract requirements and/or approved work schedules and/or timeframes it is considered non-conformance. Non-conformance shall be classified in one of three categories: level I (Minor), level II (Major) or level III (Critical). The Government may re-inspect work designated for re-performance or late performance.

1.5.2.1.1. Level I (Minor) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is not likely to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose, or is a departure from established standards having little bearing on the effective use or operation of the supplies or services. Minor non-conformance usually can be corrected on the spot, where no further corrective action (CA) response is necessary, and can be issued by the COR to the contractor either through a verbal or written non-conformance report. Minor non-conforming services shall be re-performed within a specified time frame at no increase in contract price. If minor non-conformances are recurring or re-performance is not completed in full and within the specified time a Level II non-conformance may be issued to the contractor by the Contracting Officer (KO).

1.5.2.1.2. Level II (Major) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance, other than critical, that is likely to result in failure of the supplies or services, or to materially reduce the usability of the supplies or services for their intended purpose. Recurring Minor non-conformances, or a non-responsive contractor, indicating a trend or failure of the contractor’s quality control, can also be classified as a Major non-conformance. Major non-conformance’s shall result in the issuance of a written NCR from the KO to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.5.2.1.3. Level III (Critical) non-conformance: is defined as a non-conformance that is likely to result in hazardous or unsafe conditions for individuals using, maintaining, or depending upon the supplies or services; is likely to prevent performance of a vital agency mission; is for a repeated or uncorrected level II NCR’s; or is for a non-responsive contractor to a level II NCR. Critical non-conformances shall result in the issuance of a written NCR to the contractor requiring the development of a CAP by the contractor which identifies the root cause, CA for the root cause, CA for the specific non-conformance and the date CAs will be completed.

1.5.2.1.4. Inspection Results: The contractor will be notified of Government inspection results. The contractor shall acknowledge receipt of the inspection results. The contractor may be notified of inspection results verbally. Verbal notifications of defective work will be confirmed in writing. When Government inspectors are unable to contact the contractor to notify the contractor of inspection results, acceptance or rejection of work will be made on the basis of the initial inspection.

Clause 52.228-5

PERFORMANC REQUIREMENT SUMMARY (PRS)

1. GENERAL. The Performance Requirements Summaries (PRS) in this section will be used to measure performance of PWS requirements for the purposes of determining the continuation of service under this contract. The rights of the Government and remedies described in this section are in addition to all other rights and remedies set forth. The Government reserves its right under the "Inspection of Services" and "Termination for Default" clauses of this contract. The Government has the right to inspect all services called for within the PWS, to the extent practicable at all times and places during the term of the contract. The Contractor shall not be relieved of full performance of the services hereunder and the contract may be terminated for default based upon inadequate performance of services even if a reduction was previously taken for inadequate performance.

2. PRS INSPECTION CHECKLIST. The COR will ensure surveillance is conducted using a PRS Inspection Checklist to inspect the compliance of PWS requirements on a monthly basis for acceptance of service invoices in WAWF iRAPT. The PRS Inspection Checklist is primarily derived from high and moderate risk assessed PWS requirements but can include any PWS requirement within which the requiring activity deems necessary to ensure acceptable contractor performance over this contract. PWS requirements not included in the PRS Inspection Checklist remain subject to separate quality assurance evaluations under the "Inspection of Services" clause of this contract. The absence from the PRS Inspection Checklist of any contract requirement, however, shall not detract from its enforceability or limit the rights or remedies of the government under any provision of this contract.

2.1. PRS INSPECTION CHECKLIST NONCONFORNANCE. All negative findings on the PRS Inspection Checklist will be addressed using the government quality assurance process as referenced in section 1 of the PWS:

- Level I (Minor) Nonconformance. Issued when a negative result are identified on the PRS Inspection. Rework of nonconformance will be required, when possible.

- Level II (Major) Nonconformance. Issued for:

· Cumulative PRS Inspection Checklist percentage results below the Performance Threshold

· Any safety or environmental issues found

· Negative results identified on PRS Inspection checklist and rework is not possible

· Reoccurrence of a negative result on the PRS Inspection checklist and a Level I NCR had previously been issued.

- Level III (Critical) Nonconformance. Issued when reoccurring negative results are identified on the PRS Inspection Checklist and a Level II NCR had previously been issued.

3. PRS TABLE.

3.1. PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVE. The Performance Objective column lists each section of the PWS which may be assessed within the PRS Inspection Checklist.

3.2. PERFORNANCE STANDARD. The Performance Standard column states the required standard that will be used to measure performance for each section of the PWS.

3.3. PERFORMANCE THRESHOLD. The Performance Threshold column states the acceptable monthly cumulative compliance rate percentage resulting from COR surveillance as indicated in the PRS Inspection Checklist. Falling below the Performance Threshold percentage indicates to the government that the contractor’s quality control over the PWS requirements is failing.

3.4. PERFORMANCE NONCOMPLIANCE. The performance noncompliance column states the consequence of the contractor failing to meet the compliance rates indicated in the Performance Threshold column, and the consequence of any negative results identified within PRS Inspection checklist. The PRS Inspection Checklist surveillance results will be recorded monthly and can be used in CPARS evaluations. The government will require rework for negative results, when possible. If rework cannot be completed to remedy negative findings, or if reworked results are still not completed to the PWS standard, an equitable price reduction to reflect the value of serves actually performed and/or adequate consideration to make the government whole can be assessed by the Contracting Officer and the determined monetary value will deducted from the monthly invoice.

3.5. METHOD OF SURVEILLANCE. The Method of Surveillance column lists the method(s) the government will use to inspect the Contractor‘s performance. One or all of the methods listed may be used to perform inspections throughout any given month of active performance under this contract.
