SB DEVIATION CLAUSES

The following FAR and DFARS Small Business Deviation clauses are added below by text due to the contract writing system not being updated with the most recent versions.

52.219-6 Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside (DEVIATION 2019-O0003).

(a) Definition. “Small business concern,” means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the size standards in this solicitation.

(b) Applicability. This clause applies only to—

(1) Contracts that have been totally set aside or reserved for small business concerns; and (2) Orders set aside for small business concerns under multiple-award contracts as described in 8.405-5 and 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F).

(c) General.

(1) Offers are solicited only from small business concerns. Offers received from concerns that are not small business concerns shall be considered nonresponsive and will be rejected.

(2) Any award resulting from this solicitation will be made to a small business concern.

(d) Agreement.

(1) For a contract at or below the simplified acquisition threshold, a small business concern may provide the end item of any domestic firm. For a contract exceeding the simplified acquisition threshold, a small business concern that provides an end item it did not manufacture, process, or produce, shall—

(i) Provide an end item that a small business has manufactured, processed, or produced in the United States or its outlying areas;

(ii) Be primarily engaged in the retail or wholesale trade and normally sell the type of item being supplied; and

(iii) Take ownership or possession of the item(s) with its personnel, equipment, or facilities in a manner consistent with industry practice; for example, providing storage, transportation, or delivery.

52.219-14 Limitations on Subcontracting (DEVIATION 2019-O0003)

(a) This clause does not apply to the unrestricted portion of a partial set-aside.

(b) Definition. As used in this clause—

“Similarly situated entity” means a first-tier subcontractor, including an independent contractor, that has the same small business program status as that which qualified the prime contractor for the award and that is considered small for the NAICS code the prime contractor assigned to the subcontract the subcontractor will perform. An example of a similarly situated entity is a first-tier subcontractor that is a HUBZone small business concern for a HUBZone setaside or sole source award under the HUBZone Program.

(c) Applicability. This clause applies only to—

(1) Contracts that have been set aside or reserved for small business concerns or 8(a) participants;

(2) Part or parts of a multiple-award contract that have been set aside for small business concerns or 8(a) participants; and

(1) Services (except construction), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 50 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded;

(2) Supplies (other than procurement from a nonmanufacturer of such supplies), it will not pay more than 50 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities.

(3) General construction, it will not pay more than 85 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 85 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded; or

(4) Construction by special trade contractors, it will not pay more than 75 percent of the amount paid by the Government for contract performance, excluding the cost of materials, to subcontractors that are not similarly situated entities. Any work that a similarly situated entity further subcontracts will count toward the 75 percent subcontract amount that cannot be exceeded.

(e) of this clause will be performed by the aggregate of the joint venture participants.

(d)(1) Agreement. Unless SBA has waived the requirements of paragraphs (d)(1)(i) through (iii) of this clause in accordance with 13 CFR 121.1204, a small business concern that provides an end item it did not manufacture, process, or produce, shall—

(i) Provide an end item that a small business has manufactured, processed, or produced in the United States or its outlying areas;

(b) The contracting office is responsible for administering the contract and for taking any action on behalf of the Government under the terms and conditions of the contract; provided that the contracting office shall give advance notice to the SBA before it issues a final notice terminating performance, either in whole or in part, under the contract. The contracting office also shall coordinate with the SBA prior to processing any novation agreement. The contracting office may assign contract administration functions to a contract administration office.

(c) The 8(a) Contractor agrees that it will notify the Contracting Officer, simultaneous with its notification to the SBA (as required by SBA’s 8(a) regulations at 13 CFR 124.515), when the owner or owners upon whom 8(a) eligibility is based plan to relinquish ownership or control of the concern. Consistent with section 407 of Public Law 100-656, transfer of ownership or control shall result in termination of the contract for convenience, unless the SBA waives the requirement for termination prior to the actual relinquishing of ownership and control.

It is the responsibility of the offeror to allow adequate time to submit proposal files before the submission deadline. Proposal submissions must arrive in one email addressee’s mailbox by the due date and time. Any proposal that is received after the appointed deadline is “late” and may not be considered for award.

In order to be considered for award, each offeror must submit their proposal in accordance with these instructions. Failure to adhere to these instructions may result in rejection of the offeror’s proposal without evaluation or consideration for award. All proposal information submitted shall be concise, complete and demonstrate that the offeror understands and meets the requirements established in the solicitation for all factors and sub-factors. The Government will consider how well the offeror complied with the instructions when evaluating the offeror’s ability to perform the requirements of the solicitation. The Government will consider an Offeror’s non-compliance with these instructions, or any attempt to take advantage of loopholes in these instructions, to be indicative of the type of conduct that it may expect from the Offeror during contract performance.

The information provided for the prime Offeror and each proposed major subcontractor must include the entire company name, company address, CAGE Code, DUNS Number and type of work to be performed under this contract by citing the applicable Government PWS paragraph number.

This includes all subcontractors whose subcontract is for 10% or more of the total proposed price for this effort (Major Subcontractor).

(4) Past Performance Questionnaire. For all contracts identified above in Volume 2, Section 1, Contract Descriptions, the offeror shall complete Part 1 of the Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the questionnaire to both the Government contracting activity and the Government technical representative responsible for the past/current contract. The POCs shall be instructed to electronically complete Part II of the questionnaire and e-mail the entire questionnaire to the Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date, to (robin.m.delossantos.civ@mail.mil and erin.k.weber.civ@mail.mil). The Offeror shall e-mail to the Contracting Officer a list of all the POCs who were sent a questionnaire. The Government must receive this list no later than the proposal due date.

The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (including major subcontractors) record of performance as it relates to the solicitation requirements that the Offeror or major subcontractor is proposed to perform, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. Offerors are reminded they must include the most recent and relevant efforts (performance within the past nine (9) years) in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

VOLUME 3 - FACTOR 3: EXPERIENCE

In order for a contract effort to be considered under this factor, the proposal must confirm that the prime or major subcontractor that has experience in the competency areas identified in the Experience Form will support the same competency areas if the offeror receives the resultant award. Note: In order for an Offeror to rely on the experience of the Offeror’s parent, sister, subsidiary or an affiliate company, the Offeror shall identify the relevant parent, sister, subsidiary company or affiliate company as Major Subcontractor in its proposal and identify what portion of the work that entity will perform under this contract (must be at least ten (10) percent (%) or more of the total proposed price for this effort).

Offerors shall provide a description of how the effort required by the RFP will be assigned for performance within the offeror’s corporate entity and among the proposed major and other subcontractors. This description shall include an estimate of the total contract value that the prime and all major subcontractors are expected to perform.

At least 50% of the contracts submitted for Factor 3 (Experience) are required to have been contracts performed by the prime contractor.

VOLUME 4: FACTOR 4 –TRANSITION PLAN

In accordance with the PWS and all other requirements described in the solicitation, offerors shall address the following within their proposals:

All costs associated with the transition plan will be reflected in the Cost Volume, Solicitation Attachment 7 (LOE Spreadsheet) and shall NOT be reflected in this Volume. The offeror shall provide a transition-in plan for the period from the contract award date and 45 calendar days after award. The transition plan shall be in accordance with paragraph 7.6 of the PWS and detail its plan to take over from the incumbent contractor ensuring minimal disruption of operations, as well as a transition-out plan detailing its plan to transfer to the incoming contractor during the last 45 calendar days of contract performance. Full performance of the contract shall begin on day 46 after award. The incumbent is: Y – Tech Services, contract W58RGZ-14-C-0007. The transition plan shall address the following:

a. Events, actions and associated time frames required during the Transition-In period, e.g., interviewing, hiring, human resource actions, training, start work dates, health screening, necessary badges, and personnel security requirements/clearances. This includes delivery and timeline of Contract Data Items required during the Transition- In period.

f. Transition-out plan shall address the requirements stated in FAR 52.237-3, “Continuity of Services”.

The successful Offeror’s transition-in plan will be made a part of the awarded contract.

VOLUME 5 – FACTOR 5: COST/PRICE:

Price/cost data shall only be included in the cost volume, Volume 5, and not within any other proposal volume. Major subcontractors must provide a separate cost proposal directly to the Government and in accordance with the information below.

This volume shall consist of all information, required to support proposed costs and prices.

Competition is anticipated therefore Certified Cost and Pricing Data are not currently required in accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b)(3); however, the Government reserves the right to request such data prior to award if none of the exemptions in FAR 15.403-1(b) apply. The information submitted in this volume shall comply with the cost element format FAR 15.408, Table 15-2, and the requirements set forth below. There is no page limitation for this volume.

Offerors shall consider the Section H clause which states, “Offerors shall be required to manage to the contract ceiling stated in their proposal. Offerors will be evaluated on their ability to manage to the target cost for each year of the contract. Any overrun above the target cost will result in a negative CPARS rating under cost control.”

Proposed cost/price will not be adjectively rated. A total price will be evaluated for each Offeror.

The total evaluated price will be the summation of the Section B CLINs, including any probable cost adjustments made by the Government. Each offeror must propose manpower identical with the levels stated in the LOE_Spreadsheet.xls.

Each offerors’ cost/price proposal will be evaluated for price fairness and reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. Only cost reimbursable requirements/CLINS will be evaluated for cost realism in accordance with FAR 15.40-1(d). Each offeror’s proposed direct labor rates will be analyzed for realism. If more than 16% of the individual direct labor rates are determined to be unrealistic, the offerors entire cost proposal may be determined to be unrealistic and un-awardable. In accordance with FAR 15.404-1, the Government may use various statistical analysis techniques to determine realism. The agency may perform (but is not limited to) a standard deviation analysis or median absolute deviation analysis under which direct labor rates will be determined unrealistic if they fall more than one standard deviation or one median absolute deviation below the competitive mean or median, respectively. It is incumbent upon all offerors, subcontractors, and teaming partners to propose realistic direct and indirect rates.

To support its total compensation plan of professional employees in accordance with FAR 52.222-46, offerors shall submit a total compensation plan setting forth salaries and fringe benefits proposed for the professional employees who will work under the contract. Supporting information will include data, such as recognized national and regional compensation surveys and studies of professional, public and private organizations, used in establishing the total compensation structure.

Part of the level of effort includes labor categories that are subject to the Service Contract and as such statutory requirements must be met for the employees’ pay and fringe benefits. Included in the level of effort cost model are SCA labor code identifiers and Attachment 5 is the respective Collective Bargaining Agreement. The offerors are required to propose labor rates in accordance with the level of effort requirements. If a labor category is identified as being subject to the Service Contract Act, either wage determinations based on prevailing rates or wage determinations based on collective bargaining agreements, the offeror shall not deviate from that requirement. Labor categories identified as professional categories shall be proposed as such and shall not be converted to wage determined categories.

As noted above, the offeror's proposed costs will be evaluated by determining what the Government expects the offeror's approach would most probably cost the Government when the work performed under the contract is completed. To the degree that the Government's most probable cost estimate is higher or lower than the Offerors proposed cost; the cost will be adjusted upward/downward for the purposes of evaluation only.

NOTE: The Government may use external sources of information in performing its cost analysis to include, but not limited to, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Department of Labor, Department of State, DCAA, or DCMA. This DOES NOT excuse the Offeror from following the proposal submission instructions.

Offeror and subcontractor proposals will be evaluated based on the cost/price reasonableness and realism criteria contained in FAR 15.404-1. The manner and degree of the criteria used will be determined by the contracting officer based on competition and other factors. A proposal is presumed to represent the offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of the work required and may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.

Offerors shall provide proposed cost and/or fee as required for all CLINs in Section B.

Each offeror’s cost/price proposal shall contain sufficient quantitative and narrative documentation necessary to adequately support and explain the reasonableness and realism of the proposed cost/price proposed in proposal Section B. Offeror proposals shall conform to the reporting criteria in FAR 15.408, Table 15-2. FAR 15.408, Table 15-2 prescribe the FAR’s generally accepted format for cost proposals. More specifically, each offeror’s cost proposal shall be broken out by cost element as specified in Table 15-2, II Cost Elements. To help ensure this requirement, a Microsoft Excel workbook titled "LOE_Spreadsheet" has been provided as an attachment to this solicitation. Instructions for completing LOE_Spreadsheet.xls are contained in that file. FAR 15.403-5(b) allows the Contracting Officer to specify the format of other than cost or pricing data or data other than cost or pricing data to facilitate and enhance cost/price and cost realism analysis. These spreadsheets will help facilitate a more efficient, consistent, and fair evaluation of each offeror’s proposal, and aid in post-award contract administration. Offerors are permitted to alter the format of the spreadsheet (i.e. add and subtract rows, columns, and formulas as necessary, etc) in order to conform to the nuances of the offeror’s accounting and estimating systems. However, it is requested that the general format be maintained as much as possible for Government evaluation purposes. Offerors are required to fill in rates for all labor categories included in the LOE_Spreadsheet, regardless of whether or not projected LOE hours are associated with the labor category. However, only those labor categories with projected LOE hours will be used in calculating each offeror’s total evaluated cost/price. Offerors must not deviate from the stated LOE hours provided in the LOE_Spreadsheet.xls, or their proposal will not be considered for award.

Offerors shall provide a FFP price for the Transition-In (CLIN 1000) which will include the labor mix required to accomplish the Transition-In mission and shall reflect the Transition In Plan described under Technical Factor 4, Transition Plan. The offerors shall propose CPFF for the Transition-Out (CLIN 3000), in accordance with the LOE specified in the LOE Spreadsheet.

Each transition period shall be for a period of 45 calendar days described in Volume 4 above.

The Transition-In (CLIN 1000) price shall include all costs associated with the Offeror’s proposed transition-in plan which shall include, but not be limited to, travel and material during the transition-in period of performance. Each Offeror shall enter the number of personnel and hours specified in the LOE Spreadsheet in the Transition-Out sections of Solicitation Attachment 7 (LOE Spreadsheet). The Transition-Out personnel and hours shall not be adjusted by the offerors.

For proposal purposes, CLINs with an “estimated” normalized amount for Other Direct Costs (ODC) are the following: CLIN 1100, 2100, and 3100. Each Offeror shall include these estimated normalized amounts in their proposal. Any material handling and/or G&A may be applied to ODCs as appropriate. Since ODCs are estimated amounts that may or may not occur, NO FIXED FEES shall be proposed on normalized CLIN amounts for the purposes of this solicitation.

Offerors are encouraged to provide whatever supplemental information necessary to help the Government understand why the proposed costs are reasonable and realistic. Supporting narrative and supplmental information shall be submitted in Adobe PDF or Excel (2007 or later) compatible format. Any supporting schedules shall be submitted in a Microsoft Excel (2007 or later) compatible readable format.

Each offeror is to provide two electronic copies of their cost/price proposal. The Excel version of the completed LOE_Spreadsheet.xls shall also be included with the rest of the proposal submission. One shall be locked (read only) and one shall be open. Worksheet formulas shall be readable.
