Notes:

1. Quantities for unit priced items are estimated only and the representative unit price will prevail in the event of an overrun or underrun subject to Contract Clauses (Section 00 72 00) Clause “Variation in Estimated Quantities.”

2. Bid prices must be entered for all items of the schedule. Total amount submitted without prices being entered on individual items will be rejected. Extensions will be subject to verification by the Government. In case of variation between the unit price and the extension, the unit price will be considered the proposal. In case of variation between the individual item prices and the total amount, the individual prices will be considered the proposal.

3. A modification to a proposal which provides for a single adjustment to the total amount should state the application of the adjustment to each respective unit price and lump sum price affected. If the modification is not so apportioned, the amount of the adjustment will be divided by the number of items in the Basic Year Proposal Schedule or Option Year Proposal Schedule, whichever one applies, and distributed equally among each Item.

4. * Refers to the number of the specification section for referencing technical and measurement and payment information for the various items.

5. Proposal prices for each line item shall include the bonding cost associated with that line item. Bid bond is not required for this solicitation.

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 (FAR 52.204-7) SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (JUL 2013)

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision-

"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number" means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique business entities.

"Data Universal Numbering System +4 (DUNS+4) number" means the DUNS number assigned by D&B plus a 4-character suffix that may be assigned by a business concern. (D&B has no affiliation with this 4-character suffix.)

This 4-character suffix may be assigned at the discretion of the business concern to establish additional System for Award Management records for identifying alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts (see the FAR at Subpart 32.11) for the same concern.

"Registered in the System for Award Management database" means that-

(1) The offeror has entered all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4 number, the Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) code, as well as data required by the Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006 (see Subpart 4.14) into the SAM database;

(2) The offeror has completed the Core, Assertions, and Representations and Certifications, and Points of Contact sections of the registration in the SAM database;

(3) The Government has validated all mandatory data fields, to include validation of the Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) with the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). The offeror will be required to provide TIN validation to the Government as a part of the SAM registration process;

and

(4) The Government has marked the record "Active".

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the SAM database prior to award, during performance, and through final payment of any contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchasing agreement resulting from this solicitation.

(2) The offeror shall enter, in the block with its name and address on the cover page of its offer, the annotation "DUNS" or "DUNS +4" followed by the DUNS or DUNS +4 number that identifies the offeror's name and address exactly as stated in the offer. The DUNS number will be used by the Contracting Officer to verify that the offeror is registered in the SAM database.

(c) If the offeror does not have a DUNS number, it should contact Dun and Bradstreet directly to obtain one.

(1) An offeror may obtain a DUNS number-

(i) Via the Internet at http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform or if the offeror

DOCUMENT 00 21 00 Page 3 does not have internet access, it may call Dun and Bradstreet at 1-866-705-5711 if located within the United States; or

(ii) If located outside the United States, by contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office. The offeror should indicate that it is an offeror for a U.S. Government contract when contacting the local Dun and Bradstreet office.

(2) The offeror should be prepared to provide the following information:

(i) Company legal business.

(ii) Tradestyle, doing business, or other name by which your entity is commonly recognized.

(iii) Company Physical Street Address, City, State, and

Zip Code.

(iv) Company Mailing Address, City, State and Zip Code

(if separate from physical).

(v) Company Telephone Number.

(vi) Date the company was started.

(vii) Number of employees at your location.

(viii) Chief executive officer/key manager.

(ix) Line of business (industry).

(x) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship within your entity).

(d) If the Offeror does not become registered in the SAM database in the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer will proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered Offeror.

(e) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of this solicitation.
