ASSOCIATED WITH THE REQUIREMENT NAICS. IT DOES NOT INDICATE ANY RESTRICTIONS

REGARDING COMPETITION FOR THIS REQUIREMENT. HAD THIS REQUIREMENT BEEN SET ASIDE

(a) Definitions. As used in this provision--

Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number means the 9-digit number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc.

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 parent concern.

Registered in the System for Award Management SAM 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 consent for 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 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.

(f) Offerors may obtain information on registration at https://www.acquisition.gov.

(End of clause)

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2015)

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A technical description of the items being offered in sufficient detail to evaluate compliance with the requirements in the solicitation. This may include product literature, or other documents, if necessary;

(5) Terms of any express warranty;

(6) Price and any discount terms;

(7) "Remit to" address, if different than mailing address;

(8) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(9) Acknowledgment of Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial offer should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified. The Government reserves the right to make an award on any item for a quantity less than the quantity offered, at the unit prices offered, unless the offeror specifies otherwise in the offer.

(i) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD

A. The Government anticipates awarding a contract resulting from this RFP and whose proposal represents the best value to the Government utilizing the LPTA source selection process. Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price meeting the technical acceptability and past performance acceptability standards as described in the RFP. Technical acceptability will be based on a contractor submitting an offer that complies with all of the requirements listed in the RFP and Performance Work Statement (PWS). A contractor’s ability to comply with all the requirements listed in the RFP and PWS is met when they have received an “acceptable” rating on all non-price factors. Only one contract will be awarded from this RFP on an all-or-none basis. Offers for less than all of the solicited work will be rejected as non-conforming/non-responsive.

B. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors.

C. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

(1) FACTOR I – PRICE.

(a) The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) is equal to the extended price of all CLINs and shall be submitted in EUROs or US Dollars. All extended prices in Section B will be totaled to arrive at an evaluated price.

(b) All extensions of the unit price shown in Section B 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 to be the offer and the total recomputed accordingly. If the offeror provides a total amount for a contract line item but fails to enter the unit price, the amount divided by the specified quantity will be held to be the intended unit price.

(c) Evaluation of TEP will determine price fair and reasonable in the competitive range.

2) FACTOR II – TECHNICAL. Offerors' response shall, in sufficient detail and description, convey understanding, capability and competence to supply an end product that meets stated characteristics in the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS) by providing a technical proposal that outlines the following 5 sub-factors: (a) Contractor Personnel Management Plan; (b) Sample Transition Plan; (c) Sample Test Plan; (d) Draft Quality Control Plan; AND (e) Performance Schedule.

a. Contractor Personnel Management Plan - Offeror shall include (i) list of all proposed personnel and their position title(s); (ii) list of qualifications as indicated in para 1.6.18 for key personnel; and (iii) type of clearance for all other personnel not designated as key as defined in Part 6 of the PWS. To be considered acceptable all elements (i-iii) must be provided and meet PWS requirements. If contractor personnel must be replaced, the replacement must meet the qualifications and clearance requirements established by the

PWS.

b. Sample Transition Plan - Offeror shall submit a sample transition plan as indicated in para 5.5.2 of the PWS. To be considered acceptable the sample transition plan shall include (i) detailed methodology on how each facility will be transitioned from the extant system to the new system and (ii) how long each facility will be vulnerable (in terms of hours) during the transition.

c. Sample Test Plan - Offeror shall submit a sample test plan for evaluation as indicated in para 5.5.13 of the PWS. To be considered acceptable the sample test plan shall include testing phases, participants, and procedures for overcoming failures.

d. Draft Quality Control Plan - Offeror shall submit a draft quality control plan as indicated in para 1.6.8 of the PWS. To be considered acceptable the draft plan shall include detailed procedures on (i) how the contractor shall develop and implement procedures to monitor clearance requirements; (ii) how the contractor shall inspect ESS components;

and (iii) procedures to identify, prevent, and ensure non-recurrence of defective services.

e. Performance Schedule - Offeror shall submit a performance schedule as indicated in para

1.6.26 of the PWS. To be considered acceptable the performance schedule shall include

(i) projected phases of completion which permits the Government to track the progress of the requirement; (ii) a deliverables schedule/payment schedule; and (iii) all milestones as they relate to assessment of the current systems, installation of the new systems, testing, and training.

TECHNICAL RATING DESCRIPTION

Acceptable Offer clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Offer does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(3) FACTOR PART III – PAST PERFORMANCE - The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to assess the offeror’s ability to fulfill the solicitation requirements while meeting schedule, budget, and performance quality constraints. The offerors past performance will be evaluated against these requirements to determine whether the proposal is acceptable or unacceptable in accordance with Past Performance Evaluation Ratings shown below:

PAST PERFORMANCE DESCRIPTION RATING

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

NOTE: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or is so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable”.

(a) Past Performance will be evaluated in terms of current and past contract performance, to determine the degree to which an offeror satisfactorily performed services and satisfied customers. Information presented in the Offeror’s Past and Present Performance Information sheets, together with information from the performance questionnaires received by the Government, and other sources available to the Government (i.e. Contractor performance Assessment Reporting Systems (CPARS), Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), and/or Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS)) will be the basis of evaluation for this factor.

(b) The Government will evaluate the quality of an offeror’s recent and relevant past performance in order to determine whether that performance demonstrates a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. The Government will only evaluate that performance that is both recent and relevant. To that end, recent is defined as performance occurring within the last three (3) years of the date of this solicitation. Relevant performance is defined as the performance of efforts involving requirements that are similar or greater in scope, magnitude, and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. For the purposes of determining relevancy, the Government may aggregate or consider together the performance of multiple, separate requirements at the same time by a single offeror.

ALL OR NONE AWARD

Only one contract will be awarded from this solicitation. Award will be made on an all or none basis. Offers for less than all of the solicited work will be rejected as non-conforming/non-responsive. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
