ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

1. General Eligibility.

In order to be eligible for award, all offerors, to include U.S. vendors, must be approved in Joint Contracting and

Contingency Services (JCCS). An offeror must be registered and can be pending at the time of proposal submission.

Offerors who are United States vendors shall be registered and current in the System for Award Management (SAM) database at the time of proposal submission. In addition, all subcontractors at all tiers, who the prime contractor will contract with during the life of the contract, shall be registered in JCCS at the time of proposal. A “subcontractor” means any supplier, distributor, vendor, or firm (company) that furnishes supplies or services to or for a prime contractor, or for another subcontractor. The offeror shall submit a listing of all proposed subcontractors, at all tiers, to the Contracting Officer at the time of proposal submission. If the offeror will not use subcontractors to perform during the life of the contract, the offeror shall submit a negative response to the Contracting Officer at the time of proposal submission. Failure of the offeror or the subcontractor to be registered in JCCS, failure to inform the Contracting Officer of the names of all subcontractors, or failure of the offeror to provide a negative reply may deem the offeror nonresponsive and ineligible for award. All offerors must be approved in JCCS in order to receive award. A status of “pending approval” in JCCS is not sufficient for award. Contractors are ultimately responsible for its status in JCCS and for rectifying issues, such as missing documentation, prior to proposal submission.

Offerors responding to this solicitation shall submit a valid and current Afghanistan Investment Support Agency

(AISA)(or equivalent) Business license and PSC license at the time of proposal submission including those of any subcontractor. If the name on the AISA (or equivalent) and PSC licenses does not match the name of the offeror or subcontractor exactly, the offeror shall submit an affidavit indicating that the company name on the licenses is the same company as that of the offeror and not that of a different legal entity. The Government will not accept offers from offerors whose AISA license is in an industry classification unrelated to security contracting. The armed Private Security Offerors and their personnel shall not be from Afghanistan neighboring countries.

2. Proposal Instructions

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that Contracting Officer holds discussions, a competitive range determination will be made IAW FAR 15.306, Exchanges With Offerors After Receipt of Proposals.

1.3.4 Inherently Governmental Activities

Contractors are not allowed to engage in inherently governmental activities. An inherently governmental activity is an activity that is so intimately related to the U.S. public interest to mandate performance by Government personnel.

These activities require the exercise of substantial discretion in applying Government authority and/or making decisions for the Government. Inherently Governmental activities in a combat environment includes those activities that require discretionary judgment that commit the U.S. Government to a course of action, such as deciding who or what to attack or search. The contractor is limited to a defense response to hostile acts and demonstrated hostile intent. Any activity that requires more than a response of self-defense to a hostile attack is inherently

Governmental. Some authorized activities may become inherently governmental when there is a high likelihood of hostile attack. Inherently governmental duties that these contractor personnel are prohibited from performing include the following:

- Combat or combat-like activities and law enforcement activities. Combat or combat-like and law enforcement activities which includes quick reaction force, reconnaissance patrolling, cordon and search operations, acting as an observer or spotter for indirect fire operations and route clearance operations.

- Offensive operations. This includes, planning, preparing and executing operations that actively seek out, close with, and destroy a hostile force or other military objective by means of, among other things, the employment of firepower and other destructive and disruptive capabilities. This does not preclude a private security contractor from defending another contractor or government entity of their own volition if consistent with U.S., international, and Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA)/GIRoA law; Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) and other GIRoA support agreements and Federal regulation.

- Operating in hostile environments as part of a larger, totally integrated and cohesive armed force performing operations in direct support of combat.

- An offensive response to hostile acts or demonstrated hostile intentions would be required to operate in, or move resources through, a hostile area of operation. PSCs may not be given the discretionary latitude to authorize or engage in offensive actions against an enemy or hostile force.

- Decisions on the appropriate course of action and the outcome of which could significantly affect U.S.

objectives with regard to the life, liberty, or property of private persons, a military mission, or international relations.

Such actions typically require high-risk, on-the-spot judgments on the appropriate level of force, acceptable level of collateral damage, and whether the target is friend or foe in situations pivotal to U.S. interests.

The actions above are so intimately related to U.S. interests that require government performance and are unsuitable for contractors to perform.

Under no circumstances will the contractor perform private security functions that exceed the United States Central

Command Rules for the Use of Force (RUF). Although the RUF may authorize private security contractors to use deadly force in defense of hostile acts and a demonstrated hostile intent, they may not authorize private security contractors to use offensive tactics as a means of achieving their mission or contract objective.

1.4 Physical Ability Requirements Common to All Armed Security Personnel

Employees must be able to perform the following physical tasks:

• Drag, carry, lift, and/or pull a person to safety.

• Use physical force to detain a subject or prevent unauthorized entry.

• Prolonged standing and/or sustained patrol on foot or in a vehicle.
