C.1. SCOPE.

C.1.1. Background. The Joint Technical Coordinating Group for Munitions Effectiveness

(JTCG/ME) is a joint service group whose mission is to provide the Services effectiveness data for fielded non-nuclear munitions. The U.S. Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity

(AMSAA) supports the Army and the JTCG/ME with studies on the effectiveness of both fielded and developmental munitions. The JTCG/ME prepares and continuously updates Joint Munitions

Effectiveness Manuals (JMEM) for air-to-surface, surface-to-surface, antiair and other non-nuclear munitions systems (to include Non-lethal, Direct Energy and Information

Operations) including management of joint service efforts for associated data bases in target vulnerability, weapon characteristics and delivery accuracy. JTCG/ME is charged with establishing standardized procedures for important test factors such, as kill criteria, weapon lethalities, delivery accuracies, methodologies and data format for reporting new munitions effects into JMEM's. Weapon effectiveness calculations require a number of inputs such as weapon characteristics, weapon delivery accuracy and target vulnerability to specific damage mechanisms.

C.1.2. The contract is concerned with 1) the description and vulnerability of enemy targets to various damage mechanisms associated with conventional weapons such as fragments, blast, conical shaped charges, linear shaped charges, self-forging fragments, armor piercing projectiles, high explosive projectiles and others and 2) weapon system effectiveness analysis including:

methodology, computer simulation, data analyses, model verification and validation, documentation of models, systems effectiveness analyses and data base management systems. .

C.1.3. Objective. The objective of this contract is to obtain support in the areas of target descriptions, target vulnerability analysis, target survivability analysis, weapon system effectiveness and performance, data analysis, target disablement evaluation, component damage, warhead lethality, threat modeling, vulnerability/lethality methodology development and other areas.

Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.103. If you want to file a protest under the AMC-Level Protest

Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. All other agency-level protests should be sent to the contracting officer for resolution.

Section H - Special Contract Requirements

TASK ORDER CONTRACT TYPE

Task Orders may be written as either:

Firm-fixed price (FFP), or

Cost plus fixed fee (CPFF)

PREPARATION OF COST PROPOSAL

For CPFF task orders, the contractor shall submit a written cost proposal, based upon the tasks to be performed, providing the following as appropriate:

Number of hours by category of labor

Hourly rate of each labor category

List of materials/equipment with copy of supplier quotes

Travel requirements (including number & locations of trips, mode of transport, per diem, etc.

TASK ORDER PROCEDURES

Task orders can be categorized into four (4) groupings, as listed below. The determination of which grouping any individual task order falls within is a business decision based upon the requirements of the individual task order (i.e., nature, scope, complexity and other factors as deemed appropriate for the action) made at the Governmen‘s discretion. This determination is the Contracting Officer‘s decision, and will not be subject to the Disputes clause.

―Vulnerability Analysis and Assessments‖

―Effectiveness Analysis and Performance Assessments‖

―Test and Experiment Conduct and Support‖

―Support to Current Operations, Publications, Databases, and Reporting‖

Task orders under the ―Vulnerability Analysis and Assessments‖ grouping will be set-aside for small businesses IAW FAR 9.502-2(b) when applicable.

Task orders under the other three groupings will be competed among all ID/IQ holders on an

―unrestricted‖ basis.

The procedure for establishing task orders will be as follows:

a. After making the determination described above, the Contracting Officer will forward a

Request for Task Order Competition (RTOC). The RTOC will provide each contractor in the competition the Performance Work Statement (PWS) describing the requirements and objectives of the task, whether the task is firm fixed price (FFP) or cost plus fixed fee

(CPFF), and all other applicable documents (Wage Rates, DD Form 254, appropriate reference materials, Government Furnished Material, etc). The RTOC will set forth a task accomplishment schedule, describe any report requirements, and set forth other information and data as necessary for task accomplishment. Additionally, the RTOC will provide all evaluation factors, their importance and any considerations under cost technical trade determination, best value definition (low cost/technically acceptable or tradeoff), establish a closing date for the completion of the Task Order and any other pertinent information required for the fair competition of the requirement.

b. The Contractor shall furnish a Task Order Execution Proposal (TOEP) to the Contracting

Officer within the timeframe specified within the RTOC. The TOEP shall include the contractor‘s proposed approach and understanding of the work required; a description of the work to be accomplished; the proposed schedule and required deliverables (if applicable), and a clear explanation of any constraints which would impact the successful completion of the order. The TOEP will provide a proposed price (for FFP task orders) or cost (for CPFF task orders), and may require submittal of Other Than Certified Cost and Pricing Data IAW FAR 15.403-3.

c. Assignment of Task Orders:

1) Upon receipt of the plan, the TOEP will be reviewed and evaluated by the Task Order

Technical Evaluation Board to ensure acceptability to the Government. The Contracting

Officer may enter into discussions with the contractors if necessary.

2) A task order will be awarded to the Contractor with the best proposal and price in accordance with the evaluation factors and cost technical trade off language in the RTOC

(or lowest priced/technically acceptable offer, if applicable).

FAIR OPPORTUNITY

Pursuant to DFARS 216.505-70(b), task orders exceeding $150,000.00 shall be placed on a competitive basis unless an allowable exception to the fair opportunity process applies and is determined to be in the Government‘s best interest. The allowable exceptions set forth in FAR

16.505(b)(2) and DFARS 216.505-70(b)(2) are synopsized below:

Urgency

Sole source due to unique or specialized nature of the requirement and only one awardee is capable of providing support at the required level of quality

Sole source based on the interest of economy and efficiency, i.e., a logical follow-on to an order already placed under the requirement

Required to satisfy a minimum guarantee

Expressly authorized by statute for award to a specified source

APPLICABLE WAGE DETERMINATION

Applicable Wage Determinations shall be provided with all Task Orders that are subject to the

Service Contract Act (SCA).

The Contractor shall comply with the Service Contract Act and related clauses when task order requirements are covered by the SCA.

GOVERNMENT-CONTRACTOR RELATIONSHIPS (NOV 2006)

a. The Government and the contractor understand and agree that the services to be delivered under this contract by the contractor to the Government are non-personal services and the parties recognize and agree that no employer-employee or master-servant relationships exist or will exist under the contract between the Government and the contractor and/or between the Government and the contractor‘s employees. It is therefore, in the best interest of the Government to afford the parties a full and complete understanding of their respective obligations.

b. Contractor personnel under this contract shall not:

(1) be placed in a position where they are appointed or employed by a Federal Officer, or are under the supervision, direction, or evaluation of a Federal Officer, Military or Civilian.

DA or the Civil Service Commission.

(5) be used in administration or supervision of military procurement activities.

c. Employee Relationship:

(1) The services to be performed under this contract do not require the contractor or its employees to exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the Government, but rather the contractor‘s employees will act and exercise personal judgment and discretion on behalf of the contractor.

(2) Rules, regulations, directions, and requirements that are issued by command authorities under their responsibility for good order, administration, and security are applicable to all personnel who enter the installation, or who travel on Government transportation. This is not to be construed or interpreted to establish any degree of

Government control that is inconsistent with a non-personal services contract.

U.S. GOVERNMENT-FURNISHED SPACE AND UTILITIES PROVIDED TO

CONTRACTORS (AUG 1999)

a. The Government shall not be obligated in any way for the connect or disconnect of contractor trailers to

Government utilities (water, sewage and electric service).

b. The Contractor shall, at contractor‘s expense, install, maintain and operate all new facilities required for obtaining service, including suitable metering and regulation equipment and service connections to the Government‘s utility system.

b. The key personnel listed in paragraph c below are considered to be critical to the successful performance of this contract. Prior to replacing these key personnel, the contractor shall obtain the written consent of the contracting officer.

The "Key Personnel" list may be amended from time to time during the course of the contract to either add or delete personnel, as appropriate.

H6. ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

a. Due to the nature of this contract, OCI implications will be reviewed on an individual Task Order basis, prior to the issuance of each Task Order. Each situation will be examined on the basis of its particular facts and the nature of the proposed support/services/deliverables. The exercise of common sense, good judgment and sound discretion will be employed in determining whether a significant potential conflict exists and, if it does, the development of an appropriate means for resolving it. The two underlying principles are-

- preventing the existence of conflicting roles that might bias a contractor‘s judgment

- preventing an unfair competitive advantage

b. Perspective offerors are invited to review Federal Acquisition Regulation Subpart 9.5 ―Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest.‖ Particular attention is directed to FAR 9.505, 9.505-1, 9.505-2, 9.505-3 and

9.505-4.

c. The effort to be performed under this contract may require the contractor to support the development of system requirements/specifications, provide system engineering and technical direction, and/or recommend products/capabilities. As such, the contractor may not (1) be awarded a contract to supply the system, product, capability or components, or (2) be a subcontractor or consultant to a supplier of the system or any major component on which provides support hereunder. However, the contractor may participate (i) on a noncompetitive basis under a prime contract with the Government or (ii) with the written approval of the Contracting Officer. This restriction shall be effective through a period ending one (1) year following completion of performance under the specific task order where the potential conflict has been identified.

d. The effort to be performed under this contract may require access to the proprietary information from other companies and consequently creates a potential significant conflict of interest. It is the intention of the

Government to prevent creation of an unfair competitive advantage as a result of knowledge gained through access to proprietary information. Consequently, when access to proprietary information of other companies is required, the contractor shall (1) enter into a written agreement with the other company(ies) to protect their proprietary information from unauthorized use or disclosure for as long as it remains proprietary; and (2) refrain from using such proprietary information for any purpose other than providing advisory and assistance service to the Government under this contract. In addition, the contractor shall (1) inculcate upon its employees, through appropriate means, such formal training and promulgation of company policies and procedures, the principles of FAR Subpart 9.5, so that employees will refrain from using or disclosing proprietary information except as provided herein; and (2) obtain from each of its employees whose responsibility in connection with the work under this contract may be reasonably expected to involve access to such proprietary information, a written agreement, which in substance shall provide that such employee will not, during his employment by the contractor or thereafter, disclose to other than the contractor's employees or sponsor, or use for the employee's own benefit or the future benefit of any other individual, corporation, or organization any such proprietary information to which the employee had access in connection with the work under the contract. An executed copy of all proprietary information agreements shall be furnished to the

Contracting Officer within fifteen (15) calendar days of execution. The contractor shall hold the Government harmless and indemnify the Government as to any cost/loss resulting from the unauthorized use or disclosure of third party proprietary information by the contractor, its employees, subcontractors, or agents.

e. For breach of any of the above restrictions or disclosure or misrepresentation of any relevant facts required to be disclosed concerning this contract, the Government may terminate this contract for default, disqualify the contractor for subsequent related contractual efforts, and pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract. If, however, in compliance with this clause, the contractor discovers and promptly reports an organizational conflict of interest (or potential thereof) subsequent to contract award, the Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience if such termination is deemed in the best interest of the Government.

f. The contractor shall include a clause which includes paragraphs a. in all subcontracts. Likewise, a clause which includes paragraph b. and c. shall be included in all subcontracts which may require access to proprietary information of other firms. When the above paragraphs are included in a subcontract, the term "Contracting Officer" shall represent the head of Contracts Office of the prime contractor.
