fiscal allotments through the routine budget process or the use of
interim funding measures such as under congressional \"continuing
resolution\" procedures.

security inspection, the mail or material may be handled and delivered
by the FAA. FAA will make every reasonable effort to conduct inspections
and handle items in a careful manner so as to avoid damage or delay.

no representation that any material passing inspection is without
hazard, poses no threat, or that it conforms in form, fit, function or
quantity to the expectations of the intended recipient.

\(c\) The FAA shall not be liable for any 1) loss, damage or shortage of
any mail or materials, 2) injury, or 3) delay in performance resulting
from such inspection and handling, unless liable under the Federal Tort
Claims Act (28 U.S.C. 2671-2680).

remains the property of the contractor, who is responsible for its
disposition and coordination with law enforcement agencies as necessary.

H.2 REQUIREMENT FOR SCREENING OF CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL (JuL 2001)
CLA.1262

\(a\) Contractor Screening of Personnel. The operation of this contract
is intended to promote the continued safe and secure operation of
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) facilities, systems and resources
that comprise or support the National Aerospace System. Access to most
FAA locations, systems and equipment is restricted and controlled by the
responsible FAA Servicing Security Element. No rights of access to FAA
facilities or resources are conferred to the contractor or contractor
personnel by this contract. The contractor is responsible for
identifying and providing qualified and acceptable personnel in
performance of the contract. To meet this requirement, the contractor
shall perform routine personnel screening prior to personnel having
access to any FAA facility, resources, or sensitive information.

\(1\) The contractor shall obtain a criminal history report of the
prospective employee from the appropriate state authority, i.e., the
state where the individual was last employed. If the criminal history
report reveals an occurrence of activity listed in paragraphs 1 through
6 of the contract attachment entitled \"Screening Standards-Contractor\"
within the preceding 9 years, the prospective employee shall not be
allowed access to any FAA facility, resources, or sensitive information.
Payment of any fees charged for such criminal history reports shall be
the responsibility of the contractor. If the cost is included in the
price of the contract, it shall be subject to the usual tests of
allocability and reasonableness.

\(2\) The Government expects that the contractor will normally contact
prospective employees\' previous employer(s) for employment history, and
apply the contractor\'s customary standards for employment suitability.
If this employment history check reveals a documented occurrence of
activity listed in paragraph 7 of the contract attachment entitled
\"Screening Standards - CONTRACTOR\" within the preceding 9 years, the
prospective employee shall not be allowed access to any FAA facility,
resources, or sensitive information.

\(3\) When specific experience or educational requirements apply to
personnel performing on the contract, the contractor shall verify
prospective employees\' claimed experience or educational
qualifications.

\(b\) Government Screening Standards for Contractor Personnel.

\(1\) The Contractor shall inform prospective employees that the FAA
will perform background investigations on contractor personnel prior to
their gaining access to any Federal Aviation Administration (FAA)
facility, resource or sensitive information/system in performance of the
contract.

\(2\) Prior to placing any employee in a position having access to FAA
facilities, resources or sensitive information, the contractor shall
provide that employee a copy of the contract attachment entitled
\"Adjudicative Standards: Issues\". (Appendix 6, FAA Order 1600.72). In
addition, the contractor must advise the prospective employee of FAA's
intent to employ such adjudicative standards in determining employee
access as described above.

\(3\) Any personnel the contractor employs to work on FAA facilities and
resources found to have a conviction history within nine (9) years prior
to beginning performance under this contract shall be denied access to
any FAA-controlled facility/resource. No access will be granted until
the Government's background investigation is complete and a favorable
determination made as a result of the adjudication process.

\(c\) Upon written request to the CO or his/her designated
representative, the FAA may waive the screening requirements with
respect to:

\(1\) a contractor employee that has had a FAA background investigation
within the previous five years, with uninterrupted employment and
performance on a FAA facility, and a record of acceptable behavior; or

\(2\) a contractor employee that has had a FAA background investigation
within the previous 12 months, with interrupted employment and
performance on a FAA facility, and a record of acceptable behavior.

\(d\) If in unusual circumstances the contractor finds it necessary to
utilize a person that does not meet the requirements of paragraph (a),
the FAA may at its sole discretion, grant a waiver to this clause.
Contractor\'s request

for waiver shall be in writing to the contracting officer, providing
information about mitigating circumstances to the negative screening
results, and explain why the person should have access to FAA
facilities, resources or sensitive information. The FAA will grant or
deny the waiver request in writing within 15 days following receipt. The
decision to grant or deny the waiver is solely the FAA\'s, and is not
subject to appeal or to the \"Disputes\" clause of this contract. The
contractor understands that access suitability determinations by the
responsible Security Servicing Element, although conclusive under this
contract, derive legal standing independent of the contract.

\(e\) If the contractor fails to perform the required screening, or
disregards the results of the screening, and subject personnel are found
to be unacceptable as a result of FAA background investigation(s), the
contractor shall be responsible for FAA\'s cost of subsequent FAA
background investigation(s) of the replacement personnel. The cost of
additional FAA background investigation(s) may be deducted from requests
for payment under the contract.

\(f\) The Contractor shall retain all reports and related documentation
pertaining to (a)(1) through (3) for the duration of this contract, and
shall make them available for review by the contracting officer, or
his/her designated representative, within 10 days of written request.

\(g\) Neither the time required to perform the screening, nor the impact
of any personnel action(s) required as a consequence of the screening
shall be considered an \"excusable delay\" as described in the
\"Default\" clause of this contract.

\(h\) Notwithstanding the diligent effort of the contractor to provide
qualified and acceptable personnel for performance of the contract, the
CO may by written notice deny access to FAA facilities, resources, or
sensitive information to those personnel who have been deemed
incompetent, careless, dangerous, unsuitable or otherwise objectionable,
former federal employees in violation of a post-employment restriction,
or those whose continued presence on Government property is contrary to
the public interest or inconsistent with the interest of national
security. The Contractor shall fill out, and cause each of its personnel
on the contract to fill out for submission to the Government, such forms
as may be necessary for security or other reasons relating to
qualifications and suitability for contract work. Upon request of the
CO, the Contractor\'s personnel shall be fingerprinted.

###### H.4 REIMBURSEMENT OF TRAVEL COSTS (JUNE 2007) CLA.4531

This clause governs the payment of travel expenses as a direct contract
cost, as differentiated from indirect travel cost or Company travel that

Government will reimburse the contractor for travel costs, as specified
in this clause, that are required, approved and incurred by contractor
personnel traveling outside the commuting range of their assigned work
location in performance of this contract.

\(a\) Travel under this clause must be funded under the contract/order

in effect at the time the travel is accomplished, plus necessary tolls,
or at the total constructive cost of common carrier transportation,
whichever is most advantageous to the Government.

\(c\) The contractor shall not be entitled to reimbursement under this
clause for any travel costs associated with contractor-directed

\(d\) Travel costs for transportation, lodging, per diem or subsistence
and other related expenses shall not be burdened by any profit or
indirect costs with the exception of a nominal handling charge. Nominal
handling charges may be charged for travel under this clause to the
extent specified in the contract/order price schedule or payment clause
elsewhere in this contract.

H.5 AGREEMENT TO PARTICIPATE IN ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION (APRIL

\(a\) The Federal Aviation Administration encourages direct
communications and negotiations between the contractor and the
contracting officer in an attempt to resolve contract disputes. In those
situations where the parties are not able to achieve resolution at the
contracting officer level, the agency favors the use of alternative
dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to resolve disputes.

\(b\) The parties hereby agree that, prior to referring a contract
dispute to the Office of Disputes Resolution as described in contract
clause 3.9.1-1 "Contract Disputes", the parties will discuss whether
they are willing to utilize ADR techniques such as mediation or
nonbinding evaluation of the dispute by a neutral party. Upon receipt of
a contract dispute from the contractor, the contracting officer will
explore with the contractor whether the use of ADR techniques would be
appropriate to resolve the dispute. Both parties must agree that the use
of such techniques is appropriate, and agree to fairly share the
associated expenses. If the parties do not mutually agree to utilize ADR
to resolve the dispute, the dispute will be processed in accordance with
the procedures set forth in clause 3.9.1-1.

contract and shall require all subcontractors to provide the required
report to the contractor.

###### H.8 Personnel and Supervision (OCTOBER 2006) CLA.4556

WORK (SEPTEMBER 2006)

CLA.4557

Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Contractor is
responsible for delays arising out of labor disputes, including but not
limited to strikes, if such strikes are reasonably avoidable. A delay
caused by a strike or by picketing which constitutes an unfair labor
practice is not excusable unless the Contractor takes all reasonable and
appropriate action to end such a strike or picketing, such as the filing
of a charge with the National Labor Relations Board, the use of other
available Government procedures, and the use of private boards or
organizations for the settlement of disputes.

(End of clause)

3.3.1-33 Central Contractor Registration (April 2006)

\(a\) Definitions. As used in this clause

\"Central Contractor Registration (CCR) database\" means the primary
Government repository for Contractor information required for the
conduct of business with the Government.

\"Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number\" means the 9-digit
number assigned by Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. (D&B) to identify unique
business entities.

\"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 CCR records for identifying
alternative Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) accounts for the same parent
concern.

\"Registered in the CCR database\" means that the Contractor has entered
all mandatory information, including the DUNS number or the DUNS+4
number, into the CCR database.

(b)(1) By submission of an offer, the offeror acknowledges the
requirement that a prospective awardee shall be registered in the CCR
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 Representations, Certifications and
Other Statements of Offerors Section of the solicitation, 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 CCR 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

\(i\) If located within the United States, by calling Dun and Bradstreet
at 1-866-705-5711 or via the Internet at
[http://www.dnb.com](http://www.dnb.com/)/; or

\(ii\) If located outside the United States, by 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.

\(iv\) Company Mailing Address, City, State and ZIP Code (if different
from physical street address).

\(v\) Company Telephone Number.

\(vi\) Date the company was started.

\(vii\) Number of employees at your location.

\(viii\) Chief executive officer/key manager.

\(ix\) Line of business (industry).

\(x\) Company Headquarters name and address (reporting relationship
within your entity).

\(d\) If the offeror does not become registered in the CCR database in
the time prescribed by the Contracting Officer, the Contracting Officer
may proceed to award to the next otherwise successful registered
offeror.

\(e\) Processing time, which normally takes 48 hours, should be taken
into consideration when registering. Offerors who are not registered
should consider applying for registration immediately upon receipt of
this solicitation.

\(f\) The Contractor is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of
the data within the CCR database, and for any liability resulting from
the Government\'s reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain
registered in the CCR database after the initial registration, the
Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the
date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in
the CCR database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete.
Updating information in the CCR does not alter the terms and conditions
of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed
contractual document.

(g)(1)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, \"doing
business as\" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the
contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the
contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding
novation and change-of-name agreements in AMS Procurement Guidance
T3.10.1.A-8, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting
Officer a minimum of one business day\'s written notification of its
intention to:

\(A\) change the name in the CCR database;

\(B\) comply with the requirements of T3.10.1.A-8; and

\(C\) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the
responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide the
Contracting Officer with the notification, sufficient documentation to
support the legally changed name.

\(ii\) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of
paragraph (g)(1)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at
paragraph (g)(1)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly
executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the CCR information that
shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the
contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the
meaning of the \"Suspension of Payment\" paragraph of the electronic
funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

\(2\) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT
payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the CCR record to
reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims. Assignees
shall be separately registered in the CCR database. Information provided
to the Contractor\'s CCR record that indicates payments, including those
made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be
considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the
\"Suspension of payment\" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract.

\(h\) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration
and annual confirmation requirements via the internet at
[http://www.ccr.gov](http://www.ccr.gov/)/ or by calling 1-888-227-2423,
or 269-961-5757.

(End of clause)

3.3.1-34 Payment by Electronic Funds Transfer/Central Contractor
Registration (October 2005)

\(a\) Method of payment.

\(1\) All payments by the Government under this contract shall be made
by electronic funds transfer (EFT), except as provided in paragraph
(a)(2) of this clause. As used in this clause, the term \"EFT\" refers
to the funds transfer and may also include the payment information
transfer.

\(2\) In the event the Government is unable to release one or more
payments by EFT, the Contractor agrees to either

\(i\) Accept payment by check or some other mutually agreeable method of
payment; or

\(ii\) Request the Government to extend the payment due date until such
time as the Government can make payment by EFT (but see paragraph (d) of
this clause).

\(b\) Contractor\'s EFT information. The Government shall make payment
to the Contractor using the EFT information contained in the Central
Contractor Registration (CCR) database. In the event that the EFT
information changes, the Contractor shall be responsible for providing
the updated information to the CCR database.

\(c\) Mechanisms for EFT payment. The Government may make payment by EFT
through either the Automated Clearing House (ACH) network, subject to
the rules of the National Automated Clearing House Association, or the
Fedwire Transfer System. The rules governing Federal payments through
the ACH are contained in 31 CFR Part 210.

\(d\) Suspension of payment. If the Contractor\'s EFT information in the
CCR database is incorrect, then the Government need not make payment to
the Contractor under this contract until correct EFT information is
entered into the CCR database; and any invoice or contract financing
request shall be deemed not to be a proper invoice for the purpose of
prompt payment under this contract. The prompt payment terms of the
contract regarding notice of an improper invoice and delays in accrual
of interest penalties apply.

\(e\) Liability for uncompleted or erroneous transfers.

\(1\) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the
Government used the Contractor\'s EFT information incorrectly, the
Government remains responsible for?

\(i\) Making a correct payment;

\(ii\) Paying any prompt payment penalty due; and

\(iii\) Recovering any erroneously directed funds.

\(2\) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because the
Contractor\'s EFT information was incorrect, or was revised within 30
days of Government release of the EFT payment transaction instruction to
the Federal Reserve System, and

\(i\) If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment
office, the Government is deemed to have made payment and the Contractor
is responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed funds; or

\(ii\) If the funds remain under the control of the payment office, the
Government shall not make payment, and the provisions of paragraph (d)
of this clause shall apply.

\(f\) EFT and prompt payment. A payment shall be deemed to have been
made in a timely manner in accordance with the prompt payment terms of
this contract if, in the EFT payment transaction instruction released to
the Federal Reserve System, the date specified for settlement of the
payment is on or before the prompt payment due date, provided the
specified payment date is a valid date under the rules of the Federal
Reserve System.

\(g\) EFT and assignment of claims. If the Contractor assigns the
proceeds of this contract as provided for in the assignment of claims
terms of this contract, the Contractor shall require as a condition of
any such assignment, that the assignee shall register separately in the
CCR database and shall be paid by EFT in accordance with the terms of
this clause. Notwithstanding any other requirement of this contract,
payment to an ultimate recipient other than the Contractor, or a
financial institution properly recognized under an assignment of claims,
is not permitted. In all respects, the requirements of this clause shall
apply to the assignee as if it were the Contractor. EFT information that
shows the ultimate recipient of the transfer to be other than the
Contractor, in the absence of a proper assignment of claims acceptable
to the Government, is incorrect EFT information within the meaning of
paragraph (d) of this clause.

\(h\) Liability for change of EFT information by financial agent. The
Government is not liable for errors resulting from changes to EFT
information made by the Contractor\'s financial agent.

\(i\) Payment information. The payment or disbursing office shall
forward to the Contractor available payment information that is suitable
for transmission as of the date of release of the EFT instruction to the
Federal Reserve System. The Government may request the Contractor to
designate a desired format and method(s) for delivery of payment
information from a list of formats and methods the payment office is
capable of executing. However, the Government does not guarantee that
any particular format or method of delivery is available at any
particular payment office and retains the latitude to use the format and
delivery method most convenient to the Government. If the Government
makes payment by check in accordance with paragraph (a) of this clause,
the Government shall mail the payment information to the remittance
address contained in the CCR database.

(End of clause)

3.8.2-22 Substitution or Addition of Personnel (October 2006)\
\
(1) The Contractor must assign only those individuals whose resumes,
personnel data, or personnel qualification statements have been
submitted and determined by the Contracting Officer to meet the minimum
requirements of the contract. The Contractor must not substitute or add
personnel except in accordance with this clause.\
\
(2) Substitution of Personnel.\
\
(a) For the first thirty (30) days of contract performance, the
Contractor must not substitute personnel for the individuals whose
resumes or other personal qualification were submitted with its offer
and that were determined by the Contracting Officer to be acceptable at
the time of contract award, unless such substitutions are because of an
individual\'s sudden illness, death, or termination of employment. In
any of these events, the Contractor must promptly notify the Contracting
Officer and propose substitute personnel as required by paragraph (4)
below.\
\
(b) If an individual becomes, for whatever reason, unavailable for work
under the contract for a continuous period exceeding thirty (30) working
days, or is expected to devote substantially less effort to the planned
work, the Contractor must propose a substitute personnel as required by
paragraph (4) below.\
\
(3) Addition of Personnel. If an FAA requirement will increase the
specified level of effort for a designated labor category, but not the
overall level of effort of the contract, then the Contractor must notify
the Contracting Officer to add personnel to the designated labor
category. The Contractor must request added personnel as required by
paragraph (4) below.\
\
(4) Request and Review. The Contractor must submit the request for
substitute or added personnel in writing to the Contracting Officer at
least fourteen (14) days (if a security clearance must be obtained, at
least \[not applicable\] days) before the proposed date of substitution
or addition. The Contractor\'s request must provide a detailed
explanation of the circumstances causing the proposed substitution or
addition, a complete resume for the proposed substitute or added
personnel, and any additional information required by the Contracting
Officer. Proposed substitutes and added personnel must have
qualifications equal to or higher than those stated in the contract for
the labor category. The Contracting Officer will evaluate the
Contractor\'s request and promptly notify the Contractor of the decision
to accept or reject the qualifications of the substitute or added
personnel.\
\
(5) The Contracting Officer may terminate the contract if the Contractor
has not made suitable, timely, and reasonably forthcoming replacement of
personnel who have been reassigned or terminated or otherwise become
unavailable to work under the contract or the resulting loss of
productive effort would impair the successful completion of the
contract. Alternatively, if the Contracting Officer finds the Contractor
to be at fault for the condition, then the Contracting Officer may
equitably adjust (downward) the contract price or fixed fee to
compensate the Government for any delay, loss or damage as a result of
the Contractor\'s action.\
\
(End of clause)

3.14-4 Government-Issued Keys, Personal Identity Verification (PIV)
cards, and Vehicle Decals (July 2006)

\(a\) It may become necessary for the Government to issue keys, PIV
cards, vehicle decals, and/or access control cards to contractor
employees. Prior to or upon completion or termination of the work
required hereunder, the contractor must return all such
Government-issued items to the issuing office with notification to the
Contracting Officer\'s Technical Representative (COTR). When contractor
employees who have been issued such items are terminated or no longer
required to perform the work, the Government-issued items must be
returned to the Government within three (3) business days or upon
termination of the contract or the employee. Improper use, possession or
alteration of FAA issued keys, PIV Cards and/or vehicle decals is
subject to penalties under Title 18, USC 499, 506, and 701.

\(b\) In the event such keys, PIV Cards, or vehicle decals are not
returned, the contractor understands and agrees that the Government may,
in addition to any other withholding provision of the contract, withhold
\$500.00 for each key PIV Card, and vehicle decal not returned. If the
keys, PIV Cards, or vehicle decals are not returned within 30 calendar
days from the date the withholding action was initiated, any amount so
withheld must be forfeited by the contractor.

\(c\) Access to aircraft ramp/hangar areas is authorized only to those
persons displaying a flight line identification card and for vehicles, a
current ramp permit issued pursuant to Title 49, Part 1542, Code of
Federal Regulations.

\(d\) The Government retains the right to inspect inventory, or audit
PIV Cards, keys, vehicle decals, and access control cards issued to the
contractor in connection with the contract at the convenience of the
Government. Any items not accounted for, to the satisfaction of the
Government will be assumed to be lost and the provisions of section (b)
apply.

\(e\) Keys must be obtained from the COTR who will require the
contractor to sign a receipt for each key obtained. Lost keys, PIV
Cards, vehicle decals, and access control cards must immediately be
reported concurrently to the Contracting Officer (CO), COTR, and
Security and Investigations Division (AMC-700). Electronic keying cards
are handled in the same manner as metal keys.

\(f\) Each contract employee, during all times of on-site performance at
the Mike Monroney Aeronautical Center and Center for Management and
Executive Leadership must prominently display his/her current and valid
PIV card on the front portion of his/her body between the neck and
waist. Each PIV card holder must not affix pins, stickers, or other
decorations to the PIV.

\(1\) Prior to any contractor employee obtaining a PIV Card or vehicle
decals, the contract employee is required to report in person to the SSE
Registrar or an FAA designated trusted agent for fingerprinting,
photographing, and to submit their required investigation forms as
described in AMS clause 3.14-2, Contractor Personnel Suitability
Requirements. The investigative forms must be submitted to Security and
Investigations Division (AMC-700) by the contractor in a sealed envelope
either hand carried by the contractor or sent via U.S. mail to: Mike
Monroney Aeronautical Centery, Headquarters Building 1, Room 321C,
Security and Investigations Division (AMC-700), P.O. Box 25082, Oklahoma
City, OK 73125. The SSE will review the forms and approve interim
suitability prior to the contract employee beginning work. When an
interim is granted by the SSE, the individual may begin work under
escort until their OPM fingerprint check has been returned and
successfully adjudicated at such time they can then be badge. If the
contract employee requires a PIV Card, the fingerprint check must be
completed and favorably adjudicated by the SSE prior to approval or
issuance of the PIV card.

\(2\) To obtain the PIV Card, contractor employee must submit an
identification Card/Credential Application (DOT 1681) signed by the
contractor employee and by the authorized trusted agent (when
applicable) and also by the authorized sponsor to the CO or to the COTR.
The DOT 1681 must contain, as a minimum, under the \"Credential
Justification\" heading, the name of the contractor/company, the
contract number or the appropriate acquisition identification number,

to arrive at a sound determination as to whether the proposed services
meet the requirements of the Government and that the offered approach is
valid and practical. The Technical/Management proposal must be specific,
detailed and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the offeror
has a thorough understanding of the requirements for, and the technical
problems inherent in, providing services of the scope outlined in the
Statement of Work (SOW). Clear evidence of services previously
demonstrated and currently in place relating to the factors should be
included in each evaluation area.

\(2\) Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with
all statements in the SOW and statements paraphrasing the SOW
requirements or parts thereof, are considered insufficient. Phrases such
as \"standard procedures will be employed,\" or \"well-known techniques
will be used,\" etc., will be considered insufficient.

\(3\) Content is more important than quantity. Technical/Management
proposal is limited to no more than pages outlined in Section L.
Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that
sufficient to present complete and effective proposals are neither
necessary nor desired and may be construed as an indication of the
offeror\'s lack of cost consciousness. To expedite review of the
proposals, the proposal responses for each evaluation factor shall be
provided in a separate section and the section shall be tabbed for ease
of reference.

\(4\) Technical/Management approach shall focus on demonstrating your
expertise, experience, and capabilities as they relate to meeting the
functional requirements of the statement of work. It must also address
your Past Performance on similar requirements as described in Paragraph
L.3.(c) above. Your proposal should address:

\- How you would meet requirements of the solicitation's SOW;

\- The degree of technical expertise proposed which relates to and/or
addresses the type of knowledge, skills and abilities associated with
tasks and activities found in the statement of work, recent related
experience, activities, and qualifications;

\- The qualifications that the proposed personnel provide; and,

\- Depth of the your proposed personnel, including experience and
resumes. Resumes for key personnel shall be limited to two (2) pages per
individual. As a minimum, required personnel resumes shall include the
following:

i\. Name of required person;

ii\. Proposed Labor Category;

Role/Responsibility;

Education (in reverse chronological order with attendance dates,
degree(s)/certification(s) received, major field(s) of study); and

Relevant experience (in reverse chronological order with employer and
title of position, starting and ending dates (month/year) and a concise
description of experience related to the requirements of their proposed
position).

[PART IV -- SECTION M -- EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD]{.underline}

M.1 SIR Process Overview

This SIR will solicit proposals on a full and open basis, unrestricted
to business size. Upon receipt of proposals and following initial
screening for timeliness, completeness and accuracy, the remaining
proposals will be assigned to the Government evaluation team for
technical and price/cost evaluation. Technical/Management proposals will
be evaluated first by the Government evaluation team, with the
Cost/Price/Business proposals being retained by the Contracting Officer
in order that the evaluation of the Technical/Management proposals will
not be influenced by knowledge of the related pricing information. An
evaluated assessment will be made independently for each proposal of the
merit and risk presented by each proposal and the responsibility of each
offeror.

Upon completion of the evaluation of the Technical/Management proposals,
the Government evaluation team will evaluate the Cost/Price/Business
proposals for cost realism and reasonableness. The results of these
evaluations will be forwarded to the Source Selection Official (SSO) to
be considered for award. From those proposals forwarded, the SSO will
select for award the proposals that represent the "best value" to the
Government. In making this "best value" decision, the SSO will consider
technical merit factors and price.

###### M.2 Basis for Award

**The Government contemplates the award of a contract to the offeror
whose proposal (conforming to this SIR/RFO) is the most advantageous and
represents the best value to the Government. In determining which
proposal represents the best overall value, the Government will consider
technical merit factors and price. Technical merit will entail the
Government's assessment of each offeror's capabilities.**

**Best Value Determination:** The Government will make an award to the
responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and
provides the overall best value (See AMS Clause 3.2.2.3-19 (April 1996)
Contract Award). **In determining which offeror represents the best
overall value to the Government, price and other factors considered, the
Government will consider technical merit to be more important than
proposed price. The best value selection decision will be made as
described in the following sections.**

######## M.3 Initial Screening Process

The Government will initially screen all proposals for responsiveness
(timeliness, completeness and adequacy). Only those proposals determined
to be responsive through the initial screening process will be forwarded
to the evaluation team for further consideration.

######## M.3.1 Initial Proposal Screening

Offerors' proposals will be reviewed for responsiveness (timeliness,
completeness and adequacy) prior to further consideration.

M.3.1.1 Timeliness - No proposal or part thereof will be accepted for
consideration following the closing period for this solicitation.

M.3.1.2 Completeness - Timely proposals will be reviewed for
completeness. Each proposal package will be reviewed for the following:

\- One (1) signed original proposal (complete Volume I and complete
Volume II)

\- Three (3) copies of proposal (complete Volume I and complete Volume
II)

Incomplete proposals may not receive further consideration.

M.3.1.3 Adequacy - Complete proposals will be reviewed for adequacy,
including proposal content and format as follows:

Content:

\- Completed Cost/Price Proposal (Volume I)

\- Completed Technical Management Proposal (Volume II)

Format:

Graphics are limited to a minimum font size of 10. Elaborate
presentation techniques, including color, are neither required nor
desired. Page counts do not include front matter such as table of
contents, list of figures, divider tab sheets, glossary, or cover pages.
Foldouts are counted as one page; however, excessive use of foldouts is
discouraged. Attachments are included in page count. Double-side
printing shall be counted as two (2) pages for each sheet.

CAUTION: Evaluators will read only up to the page limits as specified in
Section L. Pages in excess of the stated limit will be removed from the
proposal and returned to the offeror to ensure they are not evaluated.

For the purposes of adequacy review, missing proposal information
component(s) identified above (i.e. cost proposal, resumes, etc.) and/or
non-adherence to proposal format instructions, may be considered
inadequate. Proposals found to be inadequate by the Contracting Officer
may not receive further consideration.

######## M.4. Evaluation Process

All proposals remaining after the initial proposal review process of
Section M.3 will be evaluated, scored and analyzed as described in this
part. Offerors are advised that their proposal must address all areas.

######## M.4.1 Evaluation Criteria 

Technical Merit **-- Each offeror's Technical/Management proposal will
be evaluated using the following technical evaluation factors and
sub-factors, which are listed in descending order of importance:**

Factor 1 -- Audit and Certification Experience **-- The offeror's
ability to audit and certify an organization to ISO 9001:2000, ISO
14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards.**

Sub-Factor 1.a **-- The offeror's ability to audit and certify an
organization in the Government Sector.**

Sub-Factor 1.b **-- The offeror's ability to audit and certify an
organization of 5,000 or more employees.**

Sub-Factor 1.c **-- The offeror's ability to audit and certify an
organization in the Aviation Industry.**

**The proposal should identify the offeror's experience and capability
in each of the above factors and sub-factors. Experience in auditing and
certifications in areas of Logistics, Training, Acquisition, Information
Technology, and Financial Management are considered to be favorable.**

Factor 2 -- Technical Approach -- **The offeror's approach to planning,
performing and managing the work and the methodology that will be
used.**

Sub-Factor 2.a **-- The offeror's plan, including proposed number of
audit days, for initiating the audit review, conducting the document
review, preparing for the on-site audit, conducting the on-site audit
activities, preparing/delivering the audit report and completing the
audit for both registration and surveillance audits.**

Sub-Factor 2.b -- **Description of anticipated reductions in scale due
to overlapping criteria of the three standards.**

Sub-Factor 2.c -- **Description of the process for responding to
non-conformities identified during an audit including timeframes for
closure.**

Factor 3 - Past Performance **-- The relevance of the offeror's past
performance to Statement of Work in terms of scope of effort, tasks, and
activities performed. The proposal should identify achievements,
recognitions, and successes obtained in specific projects that are
relevant to the Statement of Work. The proposal should also identify
references (including names, addresses, telephone numbers, e-mail
addresses) to substantiate the offeror's past performance.**

Factor 4 -- Personnel/Staffing Qualification **-- A review of the
offeror's key personnel, reviewing their resumes to assess their
education levels, and their experience and knowledge in the area of ISO
and OHSAS audits, certifications, surveillances, and re-certifications.
The key personnel, specifically the Lead Auditors and Support Auditors
will be evaluated.**

Price **-- The Government will confirm the accuracy of each offeror's
total price calculation and assess the realism and reasonableness of the
total evaluated price for performing all services. The Government may
make adjustments for any mathematical errors discovered in the price
evaluation process. The total evaluated price will consist of the total
of the Base Year period and Option Year periods One (1) through Four
(4).**

Note: Any offeror whose proposal does not address all factors will be
considered ineligible for award.

M.4.2 Evaluation Procedures

Technical/Management Proposal Evaluation -- Technical/Management
proposals will be provided to the Government evaluation team, with the
Cost/Price/Business proposals being retained by the Contracting Officer
in order that the evaluation of the Technical/Management proposals will
not be influenced by knowledge of the related pricing information. An
evaluated assessment will be made independently for each proposal of the
merit and risk presented by each proposal and the responsibility of each
offeror. Technical/Management proposals will be evaluated in comparison
to each technical evaluation factor identified in Section M.4.1.

The technical evaluation will be based on the technical factors stated
in Section M.4.1 of this solicitation. In addition, the offeror must be
capable of successfully performing the tasks identified in Section C of
the solicitation or will be subject to disqualification from
consideration for award. In conducting the evaluation, the Government
will use information contained in the proposal and may use information
obtained from other sources. While the Government may elect to consider
information obtained from other sources, the Government is under no
obligation to do so; therefore, the burden is on the offeror to provide
a complete and thorough proposal.

**A numerical scoring system will be used for each technical evaluation
factor, and the Government will identify strengths, weaknesses, to
determine the overall technical merit of each proposal.**

Cost/Price/Business Proposal Evaluation **-- Upon completion of the
evaluation of the Technical/Management proposals and provision to the
Contracting Officer the evaluation results by the Government evaluation
team, the Cost/Price/Business proposals will be provided to the
Government evaluation team for evaluation of each proposal for cost
realism and reasonableness.**

Discussions **-- After evaluating written proposals, the Government may
(or may not) conduct written or oral discussions with all, or a limited
number of the offerors. The Government in the evaluation and best value
decision may consider information obtained during discussions, whether
or not it is reduced to written material.**

Note: **It is also very possible that discussions will not take place
and award of the Contract will be made without discussions. Offerors
should therefore submit their best technical and pricing proposals in
the initial proposal.**

M.4.3 Best Value Selection Decision

The SSO will select for contract award the offeror's proposal that
provides the best value to the Government in consideration of the
technical merit and price of the competing proposals. The Government
reserves the right to award the contract to an offeror submitting other
than the lowest priced proposal.

The evaluation results of the technical merit factors for the
Technical/Management proposals are of significantly more importance to
price in determining the best value to the Government. **A higher priced
proposal may be selected for award where the technical merit value of
the selected proposal is deemed by the SSO to be worth the price
differential to the Government. B**ut as technical scores draw closer,
cost will become relatively more important. **The total evaluated price
will be the determining factor for award where two or more proposals are
considered substantially equal from a technical merit standpoint.**

######## M.5 EVALUATION OF OFFERS FOR SINGLE AWARD (JULY 2007) CLA.0250

Award will not be split by item. Failure to propose on all items listed
in Section B may result in your offer not being further considered for
award.
