1. SCOPE OF WORK

1.1. General Statement: US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Portland District, intends to award a Firm

Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity supply contract for the procurement of JSATS Micro- Transmitters. Contracts will be awarded to no more than three offerors that are determined to be technically acceptable, and determined to be the lowest price.

The prices quoted in this solicitation represent the maximum prices that may be charged per unit during the specified timeframes as long as the Government orders the minimum quantity specified per task order.

Minimum Guarantee for Award of IDIQ Contracts. The minimum guarantee for the MATOC contract is 50 AMTs over the life of the contract and is the full amount in consideration for all years.

Competed Task Orders will be issued against this Multiple Award Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contract for annual research events for the Columbia River and Snake River watershed. Due to variances between transmitters manufactured by different vendors, transmitters must be purchased from one contractor for each annual research event. Variation within an annual event impacts the mission by reducing the credibility of the data. Variation between annual research events or different watersheds does not impact the credibility of data because the tags are used for tracking annual runs. Competed Task Orders may be issued for requirements in other watersheds within NWP.

1.2. Definitions

1.2.1. Contracting Officer (KO): A Government employee who is authorized to enter into, administer, and/or terminate contracts and make related determinations and findings

On large orders, the contractor shall be permitted to stagger the delivery schedule upon approval from the Government Point of Contact.

3.2. Task Order Procedures: This contract is designed for multiple awardees. The issuance procedures for

Task Orders stated herein are applicable.

All Task Orders will be awarded based on competition among the MATOC contractors, unless an exception to Fair Opportunity is justified and approved in accordance with FAR 16.505(b)(2).

ORDERING

Full and Open competition will be utilized for this Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC). Task orders will be competed, providing all awarded contractors fair opportunity for each order exceeding $3,500 per FAR Part 16.505(b), Ordering under Multiple Award Contracts.

There are four (4) applicable exceptions to the fair opportunity process that would require approval for Exception to Fair Opportunity prior to issuing the request for proposal:

(1) The agency need for the supplies or services is so urgent that providing a fair opportunity would result in unacceptable delays.

(2) Only one awardee is capable of providing the supplies or services required at the level of quality required because the supplies or services ordered are unique or highly specialized.

(3) The order must be issued on a sole-source basis in the interest of economy and efficiency because it is a logical follow-on to an order already issued under the contract, provided that all awardees were given a fair opportunity to be considered for the original order.

(4) It is necessary to place an order to satisfy a minimum guarantee.

(a) Prior to award of each Task Order, the Government will issue a Request for Proposal (RFP).

Contractors will be given fair opportunity to compete to fulfill the requirements of the RFP. Contractors will be informed of the task order production quantity required, the required delivery schedule, and the portion of the code space available for transmitters ordered under a given task order. At that time, the contractors shall confirm their pricing in writing via email as remaining the same or offer the Government a reduced (discounted) price for issuance of individual task orders. A particular task order may specify the required delivery schedule as being more important than the FFP price. In this case, the contractor that can meet the earlier delivery date will be awarded the task order. Otherwise, task orders will be awarded to the lowest price proposal.

(b) Work under this contract will be ordered by written Task Order on Standard Form 1155 (Solicitation, Offer and Award) to the contractor(s) by the Contracting Officer

(c) Each award as a result of this solicitation will cite an individual contract number. Individual Task Orders will be placed in a sequential numbering system, which relate back to the basic contract and their assigned Task Order Number.

(d) The Government will not be obligated to reimburse contractor(s) for work performed, items delivered, or any costs incurred, nor shall the contractor be obligated to perform, deliver, or otherwise incur costs except as authorized by duly executed Task Orders.

3.3. Commencement of Work: No work under this contract shall commence until such time as the Contracting Officer issues a Task Order in writing.

3.4. Delivery for Large Quantity Task Orders: For large quantity task orders delivery of transmitters may be staggered to meet production and assembly requirements. The contractor (s) shall provide the expected production and delivery schedule within ten (10) business days following receipt of a task order to the Government Point of Contact.

4. AT/OPSEC:

4.1. Access and General Protection/Security Policy and Procedures: All contractor and all associated sub-contractors employees shall comply with applicable installation, facility and area commander installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures (provided by the Government POC).

The contractor shall also provide all information required for background checks or background investigation and to meet installation/facility access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. Contractor workforce must comply with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by DOD, HQDA and/or local policy. In addition to the changes otherwise authorized by the changes clause of this contract, should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) at any installation or facility change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

5. Ombudsman: In accordance with FAR Part 16.505(b) (8) and with AFARS 5116.505 “Ordering,” for

MATOC’s, a primary and an alternate USACE Ombudsmen is provided by the Head of the Contracting Activity (HCA) for the USACE NWP contracting activity. The USACE Ombudsman shall be a senior official, who is independent of the KO and may be the Special Competition Advocate.

5.1. If the MATOC Awardee believes it was not fairly considered for a particular Task Order, the Contractor may present the matter to the KO. The USACE Ombudsman will review complaints from the MATOC Awardees under multiple award task or delivery order contracts to ensure that all have been afforded a fair opportunity to be considered, consistent with the procedures in the contract.

5.2. The MATOC Awardee may appeal the explanation or decision of the KO to the USACE Ombudsman at the following address:

Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman:

USACE Task and Delivery Order Ombudsman Ms. Jacqueline C. Woodson Acquisition Support Division U.S. Army Corps of Engineers 7701 Telegraph Road, Casey Building, Room 2115 Alexandria, VA 22315 Phone: 703-428-6323 Email: Jacqueline.C.Woodson@usace.army.mil

5.3. In accordance with the USACE Acquisition Instructions (UAI) 16.505-100(b)(8), the USACE Ombudsman shall have the authority to:

5.3.1. Review complaints from contractors awarded multiple award contracts that they have not been afforded a fair opportunity to be considered for award of a particular task order.

5.3.2. After coordination with the KO, and if he/she agrees with the Contractor, require that a KO take corrective action regarding the complaint.
