(b) If the Contractor's financial institution is not directly on-line to the Federal ReserveWire Transfer System (i.e., stock brokerage, foreign bank, etc. and therefore, not the receiver
of the wire transfer payment), the Contractor shall also provide the name, address and 9digit ABA Routing Transit Number of the correspondent financial institution (i.e., U.S. bank) receiving the wire transfer payment. (c) Notwithstanding the provisions of any other clause of this contract, Peace Corps is not required to make any payment under this contract until after receipt, by the designated payment office, of the correct EFTpayment information for the Contractor. Until receipt of the correct EFTinformation, any invoice shall be deemed not to be a valid invoice as defined in by FAR52.232-25, Prompt Payment. (d) If the EFTinformation changes after submission of correct EFTinformation, Peace Corps shall begin using the changed EFTinformation no later than the 30th day after its receipt to the extent payment is made by EFT. However, the Contractor may request that no further payment be made until the payment office implements corrected EFT information. If such suspension would result in a late payment under the Prompt Payment clause of this contract, the Contractor's request for suspension shall extend the due date for payment by the number of days of the suspension. (e) The Contractor shall designate a single financial agent capable of receiving and processing the electronic funds transfer using the EFTmethods described in paragraph (a) of this clause. The Contractor shall pay all fees and charges for receipt and processing of transfers.
If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because Peace Corps failed to use the Contractor-provided EFT information in the correct manner, Peace Corps remains responsible for-(i) Making a correct payment (ii) Paying any prompt payment penalty due; and (iii) Recovering any erroneously directed funds.
(g) If an uncompleted or erroneous transfer occurs because Contractor-provided EFT information was incorrect at the time of Government release of the EFT payment transaction instruction to the Federal ReserveSystemsand: (i) If the funds are no longer under the control of the payment office, Peace Corps is deemed to have made payment and the Contractor is responsible for recovery of any erroneously directed funds; or If the funds remain under the control of the payment office, Peace Corps retains the right to either make payment by mail or suspend the payment in accordance with
paragraph (c) of this clause. (h) A payment shall be deemed to have been made in a timely manner in accordance with the Prompt Payment clause of this contract if, in the EFTpayment transaction instruction given to the Federal ReserveSystem, 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 ReserveSystem. When payment cannot be made by EFT because of incorrect EFT information provided by the Contractor, no interest penalty is due after the date of the uncompleted or erroneous payment transaction; provided that the notice is issued to the Contractor within 7 days after Peace Corps is notified of the defective EFT information. If the Contractor assigns the proceeds of this contract as provided in by FAR32.304-5, Assignment of Claims, the assignee shall provide Peace Corps with the assignee EFT information in accordance with paragraphs (a) and (b) ofthis clause.
(k) If the Contractor does not wish to receive payment by EFT methods for one or more payment, the Contractor may submit a request to the designated payment office to refrain from requiring EFTinformation or using the EFTpayment method. The decision to grant the request is solely at the discretion of PeaceCorps. (I) The Contractor agrees that the Contractor's financial agent may notify Peace Corps of a change to the roLiting transit number, Contractor account number or account type, as if the Contractor provided it.

H.3 PERSONNEL SECURITY CLEARANCES FOR ON-SITE CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL (JUL 2003) All contractor employees who will be required to work on-site at Peace Corps facilities must undergo personnel security processing consisting of, at a minimum, a National Agency Check (NAC). Companies assigning contract employees to positions requiring access to classified information will obtain security clearances for those employees through the Peace Corps, Office of Personnel Security, at no cost to the company. At the beginning of a contract or when new personnel are assigned to an existing contract, the Contractor will be required to submit a Personnel Security Questionnaire, Standard Form 86 to the Contracting Officers Representative (~OR). In addition, two copies of Form FD-258 (Contractor Fingerprint Cards) and a Fair Credit Reporting Act Release, will be furnished. All forms must be furnished to the COR three (3) business days prior to the contract employee reporting for duty. M/HRM/SEC will conduct expedited checks of selected information and if no disqualifying issues are discovered, will advise the Physical Security Office that an "interim" security clearance has been granted and that an identification badge may be issued to the contract employee. The interim security clearance will permit the contract employee to have access to classified information at the specified level (Confidential, Secret or Top Secret) as required in the performance of his/her duties and to work on-site prior to the completion of the investigation and the issuance of a final security clearance.
If at any time during the course of the investigation, a disqualifying issue is discovered that could impact the approval of a contract employee's final security clearance, the interim security clearance will be withdrawn and the contract employee will be barred from unescorted access to Peace Corps facilities until the disqualifying issue can be resolved. If for any reason, at the sole discretion of the Office of Personnel Security, a contract employee's security clearance is denied, withdrawn or revoked, the Contractor shall immediately furnish a qualified contract employee to provide the services required under the contract. Those companies assigning contract employees to positions which will not require access to classified information will obtain site access authorizations for those employees through the Peace Corps, Office of Personnel Security, at no cost to the company. At the beginning of a contract, or when new personnel are assigned to an existing contract, the Contractor will be required to submit to the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) the Personnel Security Questionnaire (SF-aS, SF-SSPor SF-S6) appropriate for the sensitivity of the position in which the contactor employee will work, in addition to two (2) copies of Form FD-258 (Contractor Fingerprint Cards) and a Fair Credit Reporting Act Release. All forms must be furnished to the COR three (3) business days prior to the time the contractor employee is expected to begin work. SECwill conduct expedited checks of selected information and if no issues are present, will notify the Office of Physical Security that a "No Objection Waiver" (NOW) has been granted and that a building pass may be issued to the employee. The NOW will permit the contractor employee to work on-site at Peace Corps facilities prior to the completion of the investigation and the issuance of final site access authorizations .: If however, during the course of the investigation, an issue is discovered that could impact on
the utilization of the contract employee on-site at Peace Corps facilities, the NOW will be withdrawn and the contractor employee will be bared from unescorted access to Peace Corps facilities until the precipitating issue can be resolved. If for any reason, at the sale discretion of the Peace Corps, the Office of Personal Security denies a contract employee a NOW or a final site access authorization; the contractor shall immediately furnish a suitable employee to provide the required services. At the end of a contractor employee's performance at the Peace Corps facility, whether at the end of the contract or during the period of performance, the contractor employee shall turn in his/her Peace Corps issued identification badge to the Office of Personnel Security prior to departure. The applicable Peace Corps Staffing Analyst for the COR will promptly
remove the contractor employee from Peace Corps software tracking systems such as e-mail, Personnel Tracking System (PTS), etc. H.4 OBSERVANCE OF LEGAL HOLIDAYS AND ADMINISTRATIVE (a)(l) Peace Corps observes the following New Year's Day Memorial Day Columbus Day Christmas Day days as holidaysPresident's Day Labor Day Thanksgiving Day LEAVE (AUG 2002)

ATTACHMENT 1 DENTAL TECHNICAL GUIDELINES
Peace Corps Technical Guideline 180
1. PURPOSE The purpose of this guideline is to outline the pre-service, in-serv ice and post-service components of the Peace Corps dental program. 2. BACK GROUND Dental problems are one of the most common in-service health problems for Volunteers and are a leading cause of medical evacuations (medevacs) and post-service Federal Employees' Compensation Act (FECA) claims. Many Volunteers serve in areas with limited or no access to dental facilities. The pre-service dental evaluation is handled by the appJicant's dentist. The in-service dental program will provide: • • • • Support for preventive dental hygiene to maintain dental hea1th; Restorative care for dental problems that arise during service;. A dental exam at Close of Service (COS); Routine dental prophylaxis (dental cleaning) at COS.
The post-service dental program will provide: • • Evaluation of service-related dental conditions; Treatment for service-related dental conditions under FECA.
3. PRE-SERVICE 3.1 Pre-ServiceDotal Oearance The applicant is examined by a dentist of his/her choice and any recommended dental treatment is performed, The dentist then completes the Report of Dental Examination, Form PC-1790 (Dental) ATTACHMENT A and sends it with a complete set of dental x-rays to the Office of Medical Services (OMS).

TG180 DentolPolicy
4.1 Prevention Good dental hygiene is known to reduce the incidence of decay. Dental hygiene must be emphasized in both initial and continuing health education programs. The following dental hygiene techniques should be stressed to Volunteers:
• Brush at least twice daily with good quality fluoride toothpaste.
Floss at least once daily. Exercise caution when eating foods that may have foreign objects that could chip or otherwise damage teeth.
Toothpaste, toothbrushes, and dental floss are provided either through the VoJunteer living allowance or supplied through the health unit. 4.2 Mid-Service Dental Examination and Prophylaxis
Peace Corps supports an annual dental check-up (including prophylaxis and bitewing xrays) when there is a qualified dentist or dental hygienist identified at post. The midservice dental examination has two objectives: 1. Routine dental cleaning;
2. Identification and treatment of early disease. Medical evacuation (medevac) is not authorized fur the purposes of providing an
annual dental check-up. However. dental care, including an annual check-up, while in the U.S. on personal business may be authorized through the use of the PC-127C "Authorization of Payment ofMedicailDental Services" (see section 6 below). The rationale for annual versus semiannual dental examination and prophylaxis is outlined
Many dentists in the United States recommend a dental exomination and prophylaxis every six months. However, professional dental organizations do not specify the frequency of prophylaxis for individuols with healthy pertodonua. The American Dental Assoctanon (ADA) recommends "periodic dental examinat;ons. " The ADA has no policy regarding the frequency of those exams. The U.S. Preventive Services Tasks Force. the preeminent source of preventive health recommendations in the US, states that "there is little evidence that annual or semiannual dental check-ups are necessary for persons without clinical evidence of dental disease. " Additionally, there is no scientific evidence to support the premise thai sem;-annual prophylaxis verses less frequent prophylaxis has any longterm benefit on dental health. Multiple studies have shown that in
()jJia of Medical Services
De"'al Policy
indiViduals with healthy periodomta. annual scaling is as effective as m<)refrequent scaling in maintaining periodontal health. There is strong evidence that tooth brushing and flossing are effectWe means of maintaining periodontal health.
Individuals with active periodontal disease identified by a dentist may require more frequent exams and scaling, 10 these cases Peace Corps supports and provides all necessary care. However, for Volunteers In good dental health. the Peace Corps dental policy of annual examinations and prophylaxis, where available, is medically sound. Dental examinations and preventive care (cleaning and scaling) offered in country are often limited. However, most dentists are able to identify and treat asymptomatic caries. When available, cleaning and scaling should be performed annually. Unless the 100al dental care is unacceptable for even simple examination and treatment. all Volunteers should have a mid-service dental examination. 4.3 In-Country Management of Dental Problem.s General Principles The dental care available in country is frequently limited and restorative work may need to be redone after COS. This is partit:ularly true for crowns, root canal fillings, and bridge work. h is often in the Volunteer's interest to delay treatment untiJ after COS (see section 8 below). Peace Corps does not provide dental care to treat aesthetic conditions, e.g. orthodontia. dental veneers, or whitening procedures, or to correct pre-existing structural problems, e.g., malocclusion.
AUtIiorizing Dental Care
AU treatments except for routine check-ups, cleaning, and small fillings require prior authorization from the OMS dental consultant.
In general, the minimum restorative dental work possible should be done in
country. • Non-destructive, temporary procedures should be used whenever possible, thereby allowing definitive treatment to be carried out after COS. For example, it may be preferable to have a large filling done in country rather than a crown. A crown could be applied after return to the U.S. Treatment to correct a pre-existing aesthetic problem is not authorized by Peace
Corps and is not allowed in country.

Muagemeot
of Dental Problems
A Volunteer who requires, or is requesting, dental treatment may be referred to a
local dentist. The dentist will provide a diagnosis, treatment plan and estimated cost of the treatment in writing. • In all cases, except when a smalJ filling is required, details of the treatment plan and cost should be sent, via a field consult through the me, to the OMS dental consultant who will advise on the best course of action.
The dentaJ consultant wilt advise one of the following three options:
» Treatment can be deferred until COS.
)- A temporary procedure should be carried out.
A restorative procedure is required. The dental consultant win determine if the procedure can be done in country or requires medevac (regional or U.S.)
How to Contact tbe OMS Dental Conlulta»t In urgent cases, e.g., trauma, dental infections or linrOOlitting pain: • Send a fax or other electronic means to OMS. Include the patient's symptoms, the treating dentist's diagnosis, treatment plan and estimated cost of the treatment, as well as expected COS date.
In non-urgent cases:
Send a fax or other electronic means to OMS as. outlined above. Mail or pouch the pre-service x-ra) current x-rays and a copy of the pre-service FOnD PC-1790 (Dental) to OMS. This provides the dental consultant with adequate information to evaluate the case.
Except in emergencies, the denta1 consultant's response is required before authorizing treattnent. 5. ASSESSING IN-COUNTRY DENTAL SERVICES Volunteers must only be sent to a dentist whose services have been assessed by the PCMO. In addition to Qbtaining report'& from previous patients, a visit to the dental office is generally required. The PCMO should consider the following factors when assessing dental services.
Office o/Medical Services
May20IJ
and Anti-Sepsis Practiees
New disposable gloves, mask, needles and syringes and anesthetic ampules must be used for each patient. An adequate stock must he seen. Instruments must be autoclaved between patients. All surfaces must be disinfected between patients. Shie\ding for denta1 x-rays should be available (see TG 350 "Use of Medical X-Rays").
See TO 260 "Infection Control" for additional infonnation on infection Control practices.
Look at x-rays of previous root canal treatments. The tooth should be filled to within one millimeter of its tip. Assess how crowns fit on a dental model, the crown should be flush with the finish line of the prepared tooth. Ask previous patients if they are satisfied with the service they received. A thorough dental cleaning and scaling by a skilled dental technician typically takes 30· 45 minutes. In most Peace Corps countries. only limited dental cleanings are performed.
6. DENTAL EXAMS AND TREATMENT IN THE V.S. WHILE ON LEAVE • Volunteers may have elective dental work done in the U.S. while on leave. A PC~127C may be issued by the PCMO as per Technical Guideline 340 "PC-127C Fonn 'Authorization for Payment of MedicaJ/DentaJ Services':' Unless previously authorized by the OMS dental consultant, only evaluation and simple treatments should be authorized. PCMOs shouJd instruct the Volunteer to contact OMS if more complex care is required. For mid-service dental examinations the 127C should read:
"For dental examination, routine prophylaxiS, and treatment of caries only. Contact the OffICe of Medical Servlces if addltional dental treatment is required.~
There. are two options for payment/reimbursement
I. The dental provider accepts the 127C and submits a claim to the Peace Corps Health Benefit Program. This is the preferred method. 2. The Volunteer pays for the medical care and submits a claim for reimbursement to the Peace Corps Health Benefits Program. This information, including all necessary documentation for submitting a claim. is highlighted in red, hold type in the center of the J 27C.

TGJ80 Denial Policy
Claims submitted to the Peace Corps Health Benefits Program will be reimbursed according to the Peace Corps Health Benefits fee schedule only. Prior to receiving care, the Volunteer should read and understand the infonnation on payment/reimbursement for medical care authorized by a 127C, AU 127C authorizations should be submitted to the Peace Corps Health Benefits Program for payment Of reimbursement. This includes 127Cs issued by post or by OMS, 127Cs issued for use in the U.S. or overseas, and ]27Cs issued for use during service or after
7. COS EXAMINATIONS • • • Refer to TO 330 "Post-Service Health Benefits and Close of Service and Extension of Service Health Evaluations.'; Dental examinations and bite-wing x-rays are provided for all Volunteers jf 12 or more months have elapsed since their pre-service dental examination. Dental examinations should be performed in~country, whenever possible. Simple denta1 treatments. such as fillings and cleanings, can be performed at this time. More complex procedures should generally be done after COS, unless excellent and affordable incountry services are available. The dents] examination and any treatments provided should be recorded by the examining dentist on form PC-1790 (Dental). If qualified dental care is not available \n ~untry, a. dental examtnat\01\ may be . authorized through a 127C. This authorization should read:
~For dental examination and routine prophylaxis only (including bite-Wing x-rays and other views 8S I'ldicated)." Note; If dental treatment is indicated please describe in detail and estimate cost or write on authorization "No tr.atment is authorized at this time."
S. DOClJM.ENJ'ATION OF DENTAL CARE The PC-I 790 (Dental) form must be used for all pre-service and COS dental examinations. Mid-service use of the PC-1790 (Dental) fonn is encouraged but not required. The dentist's office documentation of the mid-service exam is acceptable ifit is accurate and complete. 9. POST·SERVICE DENTAL BENEFITS 9.1 Evaluation Evaluation of service-related dental conditions are authorized using a 127C. This authorization is valid for 180 days post-service and does not authorize treatment. If
Office c1f Medicm Senices
indicated at COS. PCMOs may issue a 127C for specific dental evaluation. When a service-related dental problem arises within 180 days after COS the Post-Service Unit wm also issue an authorization. 9.2 Treatment Dental benefits are available under FECA. The Department of Labor (DOL) administers FECA. The DOL authorizes the OMS Post-Service Unit to manage claims less than $1,000. Both the DOL and the Post-Service Unit use dental x-rays and documentation 'maintained in the Volunteer heahh record to precess claims.

SECTION M- EVALUATION
52.212-2 -- Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999)
(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, price and other factors considered. The following evaluation factors are listed below in descending order of importance where Technical and Past Performance Factors when combined are significantly more important than Price:
1. Technical capability to meet the mandatory requirements
1.1 Quality of Personnel/Experience
• • • Applicant Screening Field Consultation Post Service Evaluation
2. Past Performance 3. PRICE
The Price Proposal will be evaluated separately and overall prices are considered less important than the strengths of the technical proposal and past performance combined. However, where proposals are considered essentially equal, price may be the determining factor in selecting a Contractor for award. The overall
standard for judging price proposals will be whether the price proposal presents the best value to the government for the technical approach proposed. The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced Offeror if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would be most advantageous to the Government.
52.217-5 -- Evaluation of Options (JuI1990)
Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). EVALUATION RATINGS
Technical and Past Performance proposals will be evaluated based on the following adjectival ratings:
Proposal satisfies all of the Government's requirements and indicates thorough and comprehensive understanding of the requirement and offers numerous significant strengths, which are not offset by weaknesses, with an overalilow degree of risk in meeting the Government's requirement.
Proposal satisfies all of the Government's requirements and indicates a thorough understanding of the requirement and offers some significant strengths or numerous minor strengths, which are not offset by weaknesses, with an overall low to moderate degree of risk in meeting the Government's requirement.
