The contractor shall furnish all labor and services required to provide a wide range of maintenance and related administrative services in accordance with the tasks identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). The base period of performance is August 1, 2023, through July 31, 2024, with four, one year option periods.

2. In order to be considered for an award, contractors are required to have an active registration in the System for Award Management (SAM) at https://sam.gov at the time of proposal submission and award.

3. No information concerning this solicitation, answers to questions or requests for clarification will be provided in response to telephone inquiries. All requests for information and clarification as well as questions shall be submitted in writing to david.a.pickard.civ@army.mil and rebecca.l.fowler6.civ@army.mil and received via email prior to 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET), May 17, 2023. Requests or questions received after this deadline may not be answered.

4. Basis for Award: The Government intends to award a single contract to the qualified offeror deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to all the RFP's requirements and is determined to be the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal in accordance with FAR Provision 52.212-2.

5. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer, in his/her sole discretion, later determines them to be necessary or appropriate. Further, the Government reserves the right to create or not to create a competitive range.

FAR Provision 52.212-1 – Instructions to Offerors – Addendum

1. INTRODUCTION. The instructions prescribe the format of proposals and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the proposal data. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. They are designed to ensure the submission of necessary information to provide for the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals. Offerors are to carefully review this section prior to commencing proposal preparation. All solicitation amendments must be acknowledged.

Offerors are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete proposal. Failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and eliminated from consideration for award.

Prospective offerors shall submit the volumes identified below in two separate packages.

The offeror is responsible for the validity of all information supplied in his/her proposal, including that provided by potential subcontractors. Should subsequent investigation disclose the facts and conditions were not as stated, the proposal may be rejected.

A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the solicitation will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will be easy for the Government to understand and will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

Offerors are cautioned to submit enough information to enable the evaluation committee to fully ascertain each offeror’s capability to perform all of the requirements contemplated by this solicitation. All commitments made in the proposal may become a part of the resultant contract. The data submitted with each proposal shall be complete and concise, but not overly elaborate.

Text lines shall be no less than single-space. Unless otherwise stated, tabs, indexes and dividers do not count in the page count.

Indexing: Each packet submitted shall contain a “Table of Contents” for that volume. The “Table of Contents” shall identify major areas, paragraphs and subparagraphs by number and title, as well as by page number and volume locations. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections as appropriate.

Electronic Copy: Provide one (1) electronic copy of all proposal information. Electronic copies shall be submitted via email only using Excel format or Adobe Acrobat (“Read Only” files are acceptable). All emails and documents shall be virus checked prior to submission.

If revised proposals are requested, all proposal revisions shall be highlighted with yellow shade with each revised page identified by date and page number. Revised pages shall be one side. The number of revised copies to be submitted is the same as the initial proposal. Requests for such information in itself does not constitute discussions.

2. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS & VOLUME CONTENTS:

Each offeror’s proposal shall be submitted as set forth below and all information shall be confined to the appropriate part to facilitate independent evaluation. Proposals which do not include the requested minimum information may be eliminated from further consideration for award.

The contractor shall ensure compliance with all regulations and orders of the installation which may affect performance.

The Government reserves the right to direct the removal of an employee for misconduct, security reasons, or any overt evidence of communicable disease.

1.4.5 Security Requirements. The contractor shall comply with all applicable installation/facility access and local security policies and procedures, which may be obtained from the COR. The contractor and all associated subcontractor employees shall provide all information required for background checks to meet installation access requirements to be accomplished by installation Provost Marshal Office, Director of Emergency Services or Security Office. The contractor shall ensure compliance with all personal identity verification requirements as directed by Department of Defense (DoD), Headquarters Department of Army (HQDA) and/or local policy. Should the Force Protection Condition (FPCON) change, the Government may require changes in contractor security matters or processes.

1.4.5.1 For contractors requiring Common Access Card (CAC): The CAC is the DoD Federal Personal Identity Verification (PIV) credential. Before CAC issuance, the contractor employee requires, at a minimum, a favorably adjudicated Tier 1 or an equivalent or higher investigation in accordance with Army Directive 2014-05. The contractor employee will be issued a CAC only if duties involve one of the following: (1) both physical access to a DoD facility and access, via logon, to DoD networks on-site or remotely; (2) remote access, via logon, to a DoD network using DoD-approved remote access procedures; or (3) physical access to multiple DoD facilities or multiple non DoD federally controlled facilities on behalf of the DoD on a recurring basis for a period of 6 months or more. At the discretion of the sponsoring activity, an initial CAC may be issued based on a favorable review of the FBI fingerprint check and a successfully scheduled Tier 1 investigation at the Office of Personnel Management.

Sponsorship and enrollment information about each applicant must be registered in the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) through either the Real-Time Automated Personnel ID System (RAPIDS) using the DD Form 1172-2 or the Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS).

1.4.5.1.1 Homeland Security Presidential Directive (HSPD)-12 Background Investigation Requirements: The contractor shall ensure that all contractor and subcontractor personnel whose duties require CAC card issuance obtain them and shall process all CAC card applications.

The contractor shall ensure that all employees requiring an initial background investigation complete a Personnel Security Investigation Portal (PSIP) form at Attachment to be determined (TBD), due to COR 15 days after contract award. The COR will review the form for completeness and accuracy and forward it to the National Guard Bureau (NGB) Personnel Security manager who will initiate the investigation process via the PSIP. Contractor personnel will then receive two e-mail messages; the first will confirm that the investigative service provider has received the request, and the second will provide instructions for the completion of the appropriate form via the Electronic Questionnaires for Investigations Processing (e-QIP) system. Upon completion of the e-QIP questionnaire and submittal of all required documents, including fingerprint card to the security manager, the background investigation (BI) will be initiated. The contractor shall ensure immediate compliance with all instructions regarding background investigation processing, including those provided verbally, by e-mail or via a Government system. The contractor is cautioned that the entire process from submittal of the PSIP form to return of the FBI fingerprint check may routinely take from two to six weeks and shall factor this lead time into its hiring/placement process. The contractor shall make all reasonable efforts to ensure that contractor employees meet CAC eligibility standards upon assignment to the contract and shall be held responsible for delays, failure to meet performance requirements or decreases in efficiency in accordance with the applicable inspection clause.

1.4.5.1.2 Trusted Associate Sponsorship System (TASS): The contractor shall process CAC applications through the TASS, the procedures for which are described below. Although there is no requirement for the contractor to designate a “Corporate Facility Security Officer" (FSO) to serve as its single point of contact for the BI, the TASS application process and other CAC and security-related matters, such designation facilitates these processes. If an FSO is not established, all contractor employees requiring a CAC will be required to process their own applications. The submission process for CAC applications is as follows:

1. The contractor's FSO or contractor employee shall submit requests for a CAC via email to the designated TASS Trusted Agent (TA). The TASS TA for this requirement will be identified at the time of award.

2. The Government will establish a TASS application account for each CAC Request and will provide each contractor employee a user ID and password, via email, to the contractor’s FSO or contractor employee. The FSO or contractor employee shall access the TASS account and complete the CAC application (entering/editing contractor information as applicable) at:

https://tass.dmdc.osd.mil/tass/ .The contractor’s FSO or contractor employee shall follow up to ensure that the TA is processing the request.

3. The Government will inform the contractor's applicant, via email, of one of the following:

a. Approval. * Upon approval, the information is transferred to the DEERS database and an email notification is sent to the contractor with instructions on obtaining their CAC. The contractor proceeds to a RAPIDS station (RAPIDS Site Locator: http://www.dmdc.osd.mil/rsl/).

b. Rejection. * The Government, in separate correspondence, will provide reason(s) for rejection.

c. Return. Additional information or correction to the application required by the contractor employee.

*The contractor shall maintain records of all approved and rejected applications.

1.4.5.1.3 At the RAPIDS station, the RAPIDS Verification Officer will verify the contractor employee by SSN and two forms of identification. Identity source documents must come from the list of acceptable documents included in Form I-9, OMB No. 1615-0047, "Employment Eligibility Verification." Consistent with applicable law, at least one document from the Form I- 9 list shall be a valid (unexpired) State or Federal Government-issued picture ID. The Identity documents will be inspected for authenticity and scanned and stored in the DEERS upon issuance of an ID. The photo ID requirement cannot be waived, consistent with applicable statutory requirements. The Verification Officer will capture primary and alternate fingerprints, picture, and updates to DEERS, and will then issue a CAC. Issued CACs will be valid for no longer than three years, or until the individual's contract end date (inclusive of any options), whichever is earlier.

1.4.5.1.4 The contractor shall manage requests for new or renewal CAC cards in sufficient time to ensure that all contractor employees have them when needed to perform work under this contract. The contractor shall provide at least 10 calendar days advance notice to the COR and TA, unless there are extenuating circumstances approved by the COR or KO.

1.4.5.1.5 The contractor shall return issued CACs to the DEERS office upon departure or dismissal of each contractor employee and shall obtain a receipt for each card and provide it to the TA/COR within 2 calendar days of receipt.

1.4.5.1.5.1 Failure to comply with these requirements may result in withholding of next or final payment.

1.4.5.1.6 The contractor shall obtain an Army Knowledge Online (AKO) email address for each applicant, including subcontractors, who may be deployed or require logical access to a government computer network. This can be done by going to: http://www.us.army.mil and registering as an "Army Guest," with the sponsor being the COR or a COR- designated individual if the COR is ineligible to Serve as an AKO Sponsor. Note: If employees of a contractor lose the privilege to access AKO, they lose the ability to renew their CAC. Therefore, it is critical that contractor employees maintain their AKO accounts.

1.4.5.1.7 Army Training Certification Tracking System (ATCTS) registration for contractor employees who require access to government information systems. All contractor employees with access to a Government info system must be registered in the ATCTS (Army Training Certification Tracking System) at commencement of services, and must successfully complete the DOD Information Assurance Awareness prior to access to the information system and then annually thereafter.

1.4.5.2 Reserved

1.4.5.3 Communications Security/Information Technology (COMSEC/IT) Security. All communications with DoD organizations are subject to COMSEC review. All telephone communications networks are continually subject to intercept by unfriendly intelligence organizations. DoD has authorized the military departments to conduct COMSEC monitoring and recording of telephone calls originating from, or terminating at, DoD organizations.

Therefore, the contractor is advised that any time contractor personnel place or receive a call they are subject to COMSEC procedures. The contractor shall ensure wide and frequent dissemination of the above information to all employees dealing with DoD information. The contractor shall abide by all Government regulations concerning the authorized use of the Government's computer network, including the restriction against using the network to recruit Government personnel or advertise job openings.

1.4.5.4 Use of Government Information Systems (IS) and access to Government networks is a revocable privilege, not a right. Users are the foundation of the DoD strategy, and their actions affect the most vulnerable portion of the Army Enterprise Infostructure (AEI). Contractor employees shall have a favorable background investigation or hold a security clearance and access approvals commensurate with the level of information processed or available on the system. Contractor employees shall:

1.4.5.4.1 Comply with the command's Acceptable Use Policy (AUP) for Government owned IS and sign an AUP prior to or upon account activation.

1.4.5.4.2 Complete initial and/or annual Information Assurance (IA) training as defined in the IA Best Business Practices (BBP) training (https://atc.us.army.mil/iastar/docs/Training_BBP.pdf).
