SAM AND WAWF REGISTRATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. SAM BACKGROUND

The System for Award Management (SAM) is a computer system accessed by the Internet managed by the U.S. Government.

Entities must have an active registration in SAM to do business with the U.S. Government. An “entity” is the company, business, or organization registering in SAM. Each entity is represented by a nine-digit unique entity identifier, the Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) Number as issued by Dun & Bradstreet.

Only individuals who are authorized to represent a particular entity, or individuals representing themselves as an entity, may register an entity in SAM. Accessing or using SAM, or information contained therein, for any unauthorized or illegal purposes, may have civil and criminal penalties, and may negatively impact the status of the SAM registration maintained for the entity.

In order to register, contractors must have a valid Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number and a Contractor and Government Entity (CAGE) code.

A DUNS number, a nine-digit number assigned by BISNODE (in Germany) and DUN and Bradstreet outside of Germany to an establishment, is the Contractor Identification Number for Federal contractors.

Foreign vendors can obtain the DUNS number from: https://www.bisnode.de/produkte/dun-bradstreet/dnb-duns-nummer/dnb-duns-nummer-bestellen/

- US vendors can obtain the DUNS number from: http://fedgov.dnb.com/webform

A CAGE Code is a five (5) position unique identifier for entities doing or wishing to do business with the Federal Government.

The format and character position of the code vary based on country.

German vendors can obtain their CAGE code by mailing to: ncbge-ncage@bundeswehr.org or logkdobwncbge@bundeswehr.org

POC: Mr. Mueller Tel.: 02241-991643

All other foreign vendors can obtain their CAGE codes by reviewing the web site https://www.nato.int/structur/AC/135/main/links/contacts.htm

CAGE codes may also be requested online at: https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx

US vendors can obtain the CAGE code from: http://www.dlis.dla.mil/cage_welcome.asp

2. HOW TO REGISTER IN SAM

Go to the SAM homepage at https://www.sam.gov Click on “Create an Account”

Provide all mandatory information and any applicable optional information.

Non-US companies shall NOT incorporate any TIN numbers or banking data as they are applicable for the US banking system only.

Instructions for International Entity - No U.S. Banking Information Required

Use the following letter template to formally appoint an Entity Administrator for a single international entity only if your entity does not use banking information from a U.S. financial institution in your SAM entity registration. Upon filling out all the required information, print the letter on your entity’s letterhead. In the event there is no letterhead available, enter your entity’s legal business name and physical address at the top of the letter before printing. Ensure the signee of the letter is a representative with signatory authority, i.e. someone who can make commitments on behalf of the entity like an executive, officer, partner, or other authorized representative.

To expedite the approval process, submit a scanned copy to the Federal Service Desk by creating a service ticket at https://www.fsd.gov/fsd-gov/account-creation.do. The scanned letter can be submitted via “submit a question”. The account registration can be activated with an approved, scanned copy of the letter on file, therefore, a mail copy of the letter may not be required. Mailed copies are to be sent to the following address:

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2018)

(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, including alternative line items (provided that the alternative line items are consistent with subpart 4.10 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation), or alternative 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.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, based upon an evaluation of price and subcontracting information.

PRICE: The total evaluated price shall be the sum of all CLIN prices listed in the schedule of SF1449 IAW FAR 13.106-3(a). For evaluation purposes, the Government shall use the current FY Budget Rate to convert the local currency offers (i.e. Euro € = 0.8582 ) into U.S. Dollars. In the event an offer is received in a currency other than Euro (€), and there is no official Budget Rate, the Government shall use the daily exchange rate on the solicitation closing date to convert the currency into U.S. Dollar for evaluation purposes. Conversion Rate will be pulled from www.XE.com.

SUBCONTRACTING: As required per FAR 52.212-1(b)(12), Subcontracting information is required to be provided. This will be evaluated as being Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Acceptable: An offer will be acceptable if it provides either, either:

(1) A statement that all work performed under the contract shall be performed exclusively by the offeror, or

(2) A list of proposed subcontractors, joint ventures, or other business partners that will provide work under the contract. The list must contain contact information for each company and explain what work each party will perform under the contract. In addition, the offeror must provide a letter of intent from each party on the list demonstrating intent to subcontract, partner or otherwise work with the offeror in the performance of the contract.

The letter must be written on that party’s letterhead and signed by an authorized representative.

Unacceptable: An offer will be unacceptable if it does not include either:

(1) A statement that all work performed under the contract shall be performed exclusively by the offeror, or

(2) A list of proposed subcontractors, joint ventures, or other business partners that will provide work under the contract, including contact information and an explanation of work, along with a letter of intent from each party written on letterhead and signed by an authorized representative.

Please note:

The Government reserves the right to contact proposed subcontractors to verify letters of intent. In addition, as part of the government’s responsibility determination, the government reserves the right to require the submission of additional information that demonstrates the offeror’ s ability to successfully perform the contract.

(b) Option to Extend. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months), Option to Extend Services, the Government will take the weekly price of the ELIN multiplied by 26 weeks (6 months), and add it to the evaluated price of the CLIN. This amount will be the total evaluate price. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) 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.
