H.3 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).

This RFP is a total small business set-aside. Offerors are strongly encouraged to ensure that the offeror is a small business based on the size standard for the NAICS Code assigned to this RFP. Reference 13 CFR Part 121, and the clauses and relevant FAR references contained within this solicitation. Ensure that your firm fits the definition including but not limited to any affiliations (domestic or foreign).

SBA has a specific set of rules that explain when another person, business or entity is considered an affiliate for size standard purposes. SBAs rules on affiliation for its programs (except SBIR and STTR) are found at 13

C.F.R. 121.103.

L.4 Evaluation Factors and Volumes

Offeror proposals shall address the following Factors and Administrative Volume:

a. Volume I Past Performance Factor

b. Volume II Price Factor

c. Volume III Administrative

L.4.1 Volume I Past Performance Factor

For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for a total of up to two Recent Contracts performed by the offeror as the prime contractor, that the offeror considers to have relevance. These may include foreign, federal, state, local and private industry contracts. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. It is the offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the

Government to assess the contractors Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the

Government's review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.4.1.3 and L.4.1.4 (if applicable) below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of Recent and Relevant past performance.

For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and

15 20

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments containing supplies or services that can be ordered but typically do not demonstrate actual performance, such as Indefinite Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) do not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Governments understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

L.4.1.1 Recent Contract Deliveries performed within 5 years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

L.4.1.2 Relevant Contracts are those comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the following statement of work requirements:

i. Fabricate parachute system, to include canopy assembly and deployment bag to a Government technical data package, with a quantity of 550 units, delivered 50 per month, within a consecutive 12 month time period.
