Solicitation, Offer and Award

THE SIGNED SF-33 FORM IS SEPARATELY ATTACHED

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND

PRICES/COSTS

B.1 GENERAL

The Alliant 2 Governmentwide Acquisition Contract (GWAC) is a Multiple

Award, Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract to provide

information technology solutions through performance of a broad range of

services, which may include the integration of various technologies critical to

the services being acquired.

A Task Order is defined as “an order for services placed against an

established contract or with Government sources,” FAR 2.101. Task Orders

are issued by federal agencies off the GSA Alliant 2 GWAC.

The Contractor shall provide all management, supervision, labor, facilities

and materials necessary to perform on a Task Order basis.

Hereafter, the Alliant 2 GWAC is also referred to as the “Master Contract”

while Task Orders issued under the Master Contract will be referred to as

either “Task Order(s),” “TO(s),” or “Order(s).”

B.2 AUTHORITY

The Administrator of the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) is

specifically authorized to purchase supplies and Nonpersonal services on

behalf of other agencies under the Federal Property and Administrative

Services Act (40 U.S.C. 501).

The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has designated the GSA as an

Executive Agent for Governmentwide information technology (IT)

acquisitions pursuant to Section 5112(e) of the Clinger-Cohen Act, 40 U.S.C.

11302(e).

The scope of this designation includes the award and administration of the

Master Contract and delegation of authority for the award and

administration of the Task Orders as set forth in Section G.2. Through this

GWAC, Federal government agencies can award Task Orders to acquire IT

services based solutions.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.3 ECONOMY ACT

The Economy Act does not apply to Governmentwide acquisition contracts

(GWACs). GWACs are multiple award Task Order or delivery order

contracts used by other agencies to procure information technology products

and services outside of the Economy Act. (Refer to Federal Acquisition

Regulations FAR 2.101 and FAR Subpart 17.502-2(b)). The specific statutory

authority 40 U.S.C. 11302(e) designates the head of one or more executive

agencies, such as the US General Services Administration, as executive agent

for Government-wide acquisitions of information technology.

B.4 MAXIMUM CONTRACT CEILING AND MINIMUM

CONTRACT GUARANTEE

(a) Maximum. The maximum contract ceiling value of all contracts in this

multiple award procurement is established at $50 Billion dollars.

(b) Minimum. The minimum guaranteed award amount for this IDIQ

contract is $2,500 dollars per Contractor for the full term of the Master

Contract. The exercise of the option period does not re-establish the

contract minimum.

Should the contract expire or be unilaterally terminated for convenience

by the Government without the contractor receiving the minimum

guaranteed award amount, the contractor may present a claim to the

contracting officer for an amount not to exceed the minimum

guaranteed award amount. The minimum guaranteed award amount is

not applicable if the contract is terminated for default or is bilaterally

cancelled by the parties. The contractor has one year after contract

termination or expiration to submit their claim to the contracting officer

Contractor beyond the amount specified in paragraph (b) of this clause.

Once the conditions of paragraph (b) have been met the Contractor

continues to be afforded fair opportunity, as per FAR 16.505(b)(1), to

compete for Task Orders issued through the expiration of the Master

Contract or termination of the Contractor’s Master Contract, whichever

occurs first.

(d) As a result of an awarded Task Order that satisfies the minimum

contract guarantee the government will deobligate the funded minimum

contract guarantee from the Contractor’s Master Contract.

There is no maximum dollar ceiling for an individual Task Order.

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.5 PERFORMANCE BASED PREFERENCE

Through the direction of the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), Office

of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP), performance-based contracting

techniques will be applied to Task Orders issued under this contract to the

“maximum extent practicable.” For information about performance based

service contracts, refer to OFPP’s Best Practices Handbook located at

www.whitehouse.gov/omb.

Pursuant to FAR 37.102(a)(2), the Ordering Contracting Officer will use

performance-based acquisition methods to the maximum extent practicable

using the following order of precedence:

(1) A Firm-Fixed Price Performance-Based Task Order;

(2) A Performance-Based Task Order that is not Firm-Fixed Price;

(3) A Task Order that is not Performance-Based.

B.6 LABOR CATEGORIES (LCAT or LCATs)

B.6.1 Three Labor Category Types

To enhance the consistency of labor and service cost/price offers and

reporting, the Master Contract provides the Standard IT Service Labor

Categories (see Attachment J-3). These labor categories (LCATs), which are a

subset of the Standard Occupational Classifications (SOCs) issued by the

Department of Labor (DOL) Bureau, Labor Statistics Division, facilitate the

standardization of labor types, descriptions, and rates across the entire

contract vehicle. This approach provides the government more accurate cost

forecasting, reporting, and tracking. Additionally, the Master Contract also

provides for Non-Standard IT Service LCATs and Ancillary Service LCATs,

as described below.

The Contractor is always bound by Maximum Rates on labor hours used in

all Time-and material (T&M) and Labor Hour (L-H) Task Order contract

types, including any T&M and L-H Contract Line Items (CLINS) that may be

integrated into a single Task Order among Cost-type and/or Fixed-price

CLINS. (See Subsection B.11.5.1 Maximum Rates for Time-and material and

Labor Hour Contract Types).

Alliant 2 provides the following three (3) types of LCATs:

(1) Standard IT Service LCATs – This labor category type includes the

defined IT Service LCATs (see Attachment J-3). Each of the defined

Standard IT Service LCATs is further stratified to include four (4) skill

levels. These may be modified through the term of this Master

Contract to accommodate emerging IT Service LCATs as defined by

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

the market. The Contractor shall utilize the Standard IT Service

LCATs to the maximum extent possible. Additional Standard IT

Service LCATs may be added over the term of this contract if the GSA

GWAC Program approved and appended to the contract via

modification by the GSA GWAC PCO. (See Section B.6.3).

(2) Non-Standard IT Service LCATs - This labor category type includes

any IT Service labor category that is not listed within the Standard IT

Service LCATs (see Attachment J-3). A Non-standard IT Service LCAT

must be approved by the Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO) at the

Task Order level.

(3) Ancillary Service LCATs – This labor category type includes

ancillary labor support, and does not include any of the defined

Standard IT Service LCATs or Non-Standard IT Service

LCATs. Ancillary Service LCATs may be used only when the principal

purpose of the Task Order is to furnish IT services-based solutions.

The OCO will ensure that additional labor categories are in compliance

with Service Contract Labor Standards and Wage Rate Requirements

(Construction), and, where applicable, include appropriate clauses and

wage determinations consistent with B.7 and/or B.8.

B.6.1.1 Standard IT Service Labor Categories

Standard IT Service LCATs are the labor categories referenced in

Attachment J-3. They are presented as historically-based relevant positions

that support Information Technology (IT) procurement requirements. IT is a

dynamic discipline that will likely require additional uniquely defined IT

Service labor categories that emerge at some point through the term of this

Master Contract. Additional Standard IT Service labor categories may be

added by the government via contract modification. The process to

recommend the addition of new IT LCATs to the Master Contract is discussed

in detail under section B.6.3, Process to add Standard IT Service LCATs to

the Master Contract.

(a) The primary source of the Standard IT Service LCATs is the

Department of Labor (DoL) Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Service

Occupational System. The Standard Occupational Classification (SOC)

system is used by Federal statistical agencies to classify workers into

occupational categories for the purpose of collecting, calculating, or

disseminating data.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

(b) The Standard IT Service LCATs (see Attachment J-3) contains the

comprehensive IT Service LCATs required to meet all information

technology service based requirements. Therefore, every effort shall be

made by the OCOs and Contractors to use the Standard IT Service

LCATs. (See Attachment J-3)

B.6.1.2 Non-Standard IT Service LCATs

Any IT Services LCAT that does not fit within the Standard IT Service

LCATs is not approved for use on Task Orders without approval of the OCO

awarding the Task Order. IT Service LCATs that addresses new and

emerging occupations for which the LCAT functional titles/descriptions may

not correlate to any of the DOL SOC matches, or may not be widely available

throughout Industry, are characteristics of Non-standard IT LCATs.

The Master Contract Standard IT Service LCATs are robust and were

written to encompass the broad scope of information technology. Additional

labor categories would need to bring to bear skill sets that are so specialized

or rare that they are not already encompassed in any existing Master

Contract labor category. OCOs may consider additional labor categories on

Task Orders when deemed necessary to provide IT services or an IT services-

based solution. OCOs will perform due diligence in determining that Non-

standard IT service labor categories are required. The OCO may review the

Standard IT Service Cross-walk Matrix, located at www.gsa.gov/alliant2, that

maps to equivalent commercial IT LCATs functional titles with the

Standardized IT Service LCAT, or seek guidance from a GSA GWAC

Technologist, when considering the addition of non-standard IT LCATs to

their Task Order.

B.6.1.3 Ancillary Service Labor Categories

The GSA GWAC is to be used by agencies in meeting professional

Information Technology (IT) service objectives. Use of the non-IT ancillary

service LCATs must be (1) integral and necessary; (2) part of a total

integrated solution within the scope of the Master Contract; and (3) not a

labor category specified in the Master Contract. The Contractor should

propose and identify each ancillary support service separately and the OCO

should identify each ancillary support service by a separate CLIN on the

Task Order award.

Included in ancillary services may be those LCATs covered under

construction and service type employees identified by the Department of

Labor wage determinations.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.6.2 Applicability of Labor Category Types and Maximum Rates

(a) T&M and L-H Task Orders or CLINS: All Labor Category Types

indicated in Section B.6.1 (Standard IT Service, Non-Standard IT

Service, and Ancillary Service LCATs) shall always apply to T&M and

L-H contract type Task Orders and to any T&M and L-H contract type

CLINS in Task Orders with multiple contract types. Maximum Rates

for Standard IT Services LCATs shall only apply to T&M and L-H

contract type Task Orders and to any T&M and L-H contract type

CLINS in Task Orders with multiple contract types. Maximum Rates

will not apply to any other contract types, including Cost-

Reimbursement and Fixed-price Task Orders or Cost-Reimbursement

and Fixed-price CLINS. Maximum Rates for Time-and Material and

Labor Hour Contract Types is further addressed in Section B.11.5.1.

(b) Other than T&M and L-H Task Orders or CLINS: At the full discretion

of the Task Order issuing agency OCO, any Labor Category Type

indicated in Section B.6.1 may be used and applied to all other contract

types for any Task Order issued under this Master Contract, including

Cost-Reimbursement and Fixed-price Task Orders or Cost-

Reimbursement and Fixed-price CLINS in Task Orders with multiple

contract types; however, the Contractor’s labor category’s Maximum

Rates established from this Master Contract will not apply. Ceiling

rates or fixed rates on individual labor categories within a Task Order

will be established between the Contractor and the issuing agency

OCO. Task Order Ceiling or fixed rates will not change the

Contractor’s Maximum Rates in the Master Contract.

B.6.3 Process to add Standard IT Service LCATs to the Master

Contract

GSA reserves the right to add new IT Service LCAT to the list of Standard IT

Service LCATs when determined to be in the best interest of the

Government. As the information technology market evolves, GSA encourages

the Contractor and ordering agencies to recommend new IT Service LCAT

that they believe should be added to the list of Standard IT Service LCATs.

With any new IT Service LCAT, GSA requests a functional description and

justification narrative be included to provide the rationale for adding the new

IT Service LCAT. If approved by the GSA GWAC PCO, the newly adopted IT

Service LCAT will be added to the Standard IT Service LCATs and each

contract holder will be afforded the opportunity to submit and negotiate labor

hour pricing for the new IT Service LCAT. Ultimately, for those Contractors

who establish pricing with the GSA GWAC PCO, a contract modification will

be executed to add the new Standard IT Service LCAT.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.7 LABOR SUBJECT TO THE WAGE RATE

REQUIREMENTS (CONSTRUCTION)

The Master Contract does not include wage determinations or all applicable

clauses for labor categories subject to the Wage Rate Requirements

(Construction). Each Task Order will be tailored to include the appropriate

clauses and wage determinations. To the extent that construction, alteration,

and repair are subject to the wage rate requirements and within scope of a

Task Order and the Master Contract, the OCO will identify such work under

a separate CLIN on the Task Order and incorporate the appropriate wage

determinations in accordance with FAR 22.4, Labor Standards for Contracts

Involving Construction.

Any construction, alteration, and repair are only in scope as

necessary to offer an integrated information technology solution

provided that it is integral to and necessary for the effort stated in

the Task Order. Task Orders shall not be the primary purpose of the scope

or issued exclusively for work performed under the Wage Rate Requirements

(Construction).

B.8 LABOR SUBJECT TO THE SERVICE CONTRACT LABOR

STANDARDS (SCLS)

The Master Contract labor categories are considered bona fide executive,

administrative, professional labor and generally exempt from the SCLS if

used to perform professional IT services, except as noted in Attachment J-

3. The Master Contract does not include wage determinations or all

applicable clauses for labor categories subject to the SCLS. Each Task Order

will be tailored to include the appropriate clauses and wage determinations.

To the extent that any labor is subject to the SCLS and within scope of a

Task Order and the Master Contract, the OCO will identify such work under

a separate CLIN on the Task Order and incorporate wage determination in

accordance with FAR 22.10, Service Contract Labor Standards.

B.9 TASK ORDER CONTRACT TYPES

The GSA Alliant 2 GWAC is a Multiple Award, Indefinite-Delivery,

Indefinite-Quantity (MA-IDIQ) Master Contract for Government-wide

information technology service-based requirements. Task Order contract

types permitted to be issued under this Master Contract include all FAR

subparts and sections listed under FAR 16.2 Fixed-price Contracts, FAR 16.3

Cost-Reimbursement Contracts, and FAR 16.4 Incentive Contracts.

Additionally, FAR section 16.503 Requirements Contracts; FAR section

16.601 Time-and-materials and FAR 16.602 Labor-hour Contracts are

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

permitted Task Order contract types. However, FAR 16.503 Requirements

Contracts should be limited to not exceed the ordering period of the Master

Contract. Task Orders may also incorporate FAR 17.1 Multiyear Contracting

and FAR 17.2 Option periods procuring Commercial-items or Non-commercial

items. These contract types can be used singly or in combination within a

single Task Order comprising multiple Contract Line Items (CLINS).

B.9.1 Requirements Contract Type

A Requirements contract type (FAR Subpart 16.503) provides for filling all

actual purchase requirements of designated Government activities for

services or supplies during a specified contract period, with performance or

deliveries to be scheduled by placing orders with the Contractor. The

contracting officer states a realistic estimated total quantity in the Task

Order solicitation and the resulting order. All Requirements contract type

CLINS within a Task Order must include a defined scope with all items

priced at time of award, i.e., Fixed-priced by unit/rate, size or type as defined

by the issuing agency. Established pricing is not subject to any adjustment on

the basis of the contractor’s cost experience in performing the Task Order,

and established Contractor prices will not be subsequently discounted at the

Government’s request once negotiated at Task Order award. The agency will

direct the Contractor to deliver a specified quantity of the in-scope

Government requirement by use of a Call, which activates a pre-priced CLIN

or SubCLIN during the term of the Task Order.

Requirements Task Order type under an IDIQ Master Contract: A

Requirements contract type Task Order is a single contract award issued

under this indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) Master Contract

vehicle. Executing and funding individual CLINS and SubCLINS under this

Task Order type are not considered to be second-tier instruments issued

under the awarded Task Order. Also, the agency's clearly defined

Requirements Task Order procurement, as with any contract type listed in

Section B.9, must be within the scope of the Master Contract’s Section C.

Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Master Contract, the use of

Requirements contract types of Task Orders is further restricted to the

following: The term of the Task Order (including Options) should not exceed

the remaining ordering period of the Master Contract (including the Option)

at the time of Requirements Task Order award.

Application of Requirements Contract Type: A Requirements contract type

approach satisfies the requirement for the issuance of a binding Task Order

under Master Contract. This contract type can provide Task Order issuing

agencies with maximum flexibility when ordering IT services while obligating

funds as needed only on individual calls as the bona fide need arises for

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

predefined and established priced procurement requirements on awarded

Requirements contract type Task Orders by individual CLINS and

SubCLINS.

A Requirements contract type Task Order may be appropriate for acquiring

flexible IT solution services, including ancillary services or goods when the

Government anticipates recurring requirements but cannot predetermine the

precise quantities that Government activities will need during a definite

period. The below list are a few examples of IT services that may be

considered to procure using a Requirements contract type:

● Data Center & Virtualization Services - Consolidation and migration.

● Cloud Migration and Storage.

● IT Disaster Recovery - Recovery, backup and replication services.

● IT Managed Services - Continuous monitoring, managing and/or

problem resolution for the IT systems within a business.

● IT Helpdesk Services.

● Intrusion Monitoring and Prevention - threat monitoring and response.

● Telepresence.

B.9.1.1 Distinction of a Requirements Contract to Other Contract

Types and Agreements

(a) IDIQ Contracts - A Requirements contract type Task Order issued

under this Master Contract is not an IDIQ contract. There are distinct

structural differences between a Requirements contract and an IDIQ

and distinct differences in the nature and legal effect of the different

types of orders that are placed against these different contract

vehicles. A Requirements contract type in this Master Contract is one

in which the Government (buyer) agrees to purchase all of its needs for

a particular item or service during the Task Order period from the

Contractor (seller), and the seller agrees to fill all of the buyer’s needs

for the goods or services described in the Task Order. Thus, unlike an

IDIQ, an essential element of a Requirements contract type is the

promise by the buyer to purchase all the subject matter within this

contract type of Task Order exclusively from one seller, whereas with

an IDIQ, once the minimum is met, the buyer is not obligated to place

any additional orders. Additionally, the multiple award preference

requirement does not apply as it does with an IDIQ, under FAR

16.504(c)(1). An IDIQ is also different from a Requirements contract

type in the following: (1) A Requirements contract’s guaranteed

minimums are not required; (2) The Task Order solicitation of a

Requirements must state realistic estimated quantities, and; (3) The

buyer and seller are obligated to buy and sell on a Requirements at the

prices negotiated at time of award.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

(b) A Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA), under the rules of FAR

Subpart 16.703, is not a contract. It is a written instrument of

understanding used when contracting for uncertain requirements for

supplies or services when specific items, quantities, and prices are not

known at the time the agreement is executed. Thus, a BOA, unlike a

Requirements contract, does not require a clearly defined scope or

required pricing established at time of award. And because a defined

scope and established pricing is required for any Task Order issued

under this Master Contract, BOAs are unsuitable methods of

procurement for purposes of this GSA GWAC program.

rules of FAR Subpart 13.303, Simplified Acquisition Procedures, and a

Multiple Award Schedule BPA (also known as a GSA Schedule BPA)

falls under the rules of FAR Subpart 8.4 Federal Supply Schedules

(FSS). Task Orders should be issued in accordance with the rules

under FAR Subpart 16.505, not FAR Subpart 13.303 or 8.4. Neither of

the two BPA types fall under FAR Part 16 Types of Contracts because

they are agreements similar to BOAs. BPAs neither obligates funds

nor requires placement of any orders against it. The award of a BPA

lacks mutuality of consideration at the time of BPA award. Like BOAs,

BPAs are not suitable as a Task Order contract type. Therefore,

including IDIQ, BPA and BOA Task Order Contract Types into Section

B.8 are not in the best interest of the Government for this Master

Contract.

B.9.1.2 Additional Terms and Conditions for Requirements Contract

Type for Commercial Items

At any time during the term of the Master Contract, the Requirements

Contract type as an available Task Order type (listed in Section B.9) may be

removed from the Master Contract via a unilateral contract modification if

the GSA GWAC PCO determines that its use as an available contract type is

no longer in the best interest of the Government.

B.10 ORDER TYPE PREFERENCE

The Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO) will determine the Task Order type

using the following order of precedence:

(1) Fixed-Price (all types)

(2) Cost-Reimbursement (all types)

(3) T&M or L-H

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.11 TASK ORDER PRICING (ALL ORDER TYPES)

The issuing agency will negotiate cost or pricing with the Contractor and

make the determination for cost or price reasonableness for each Task Order

type. Adequate price competition at the Task Order level, in response to an

individual requirement, establishes the most accurate, fair, and reasonable

pricing for that requirement.

The OCO will identify the applicable contract type for all CLINs in each

GWAC Task Order.

When adequate price competition exists (see FAR 15.403-1(b)(1)), generally

no additional information is necessary to determine the reasonableness of

cost or price. If adequate price competition does not exist and no other

exceptions apply (see FAR 15.403-1(b)), the OCO will request a Certificate of

Current Cost and Pricing Data in accordance with FAR 15.403-4.

If a Contractor does not have an approved purchasing system, the Contractor

shall request and receive OCO consent to subcontract in accordance with

FAR 44.201-1(b) Consent to Subcontracts, and FAR 52.244-2, Subcontracts.

B.11.1 Fixed Price

The OCO will determine fair and reasonable pricing for all Fixed-Price Task

Orders in accordance with FAR 15.4, Pricing, and FAR 16.2, Fixed-Price

Contracts.

B.11.2 Cost Reimbursement

The Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO) will determine fair and reasonable

pricing, cost realism, analyze and negotiate profit for all Cost-

Reimbursement Task Orders, in accordance with FAR 15.4, Pricing, and FAR

16.3, Cost-Reimbursement Contracts.

Contractors are required to have an adequate cost accounting system for Cost

Reimbursable type Task Orders in accordance with FAR 16.301-3(a)(3).

Contractors will be required to submit a cost proposal with supporting

information for each cost element, including, but not limited to, Direct Labor,

Fringe Benefits, Overhead, General and Administrative (G&A) expenses,

Facilities Capital Cost of Money, Other Direct Costs, and Profit consistent

with their cost accounting system, provisional billing rates, and forward

pricing rate agreements.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.11.3 Incentive

Incentives are defined under FAR Subpart 16.4, Incentive Contracts, and

other applicable agency-unique regulatory supplements. The OCO will

determine fair and reasonable pricing for all Incentive Task Orders and

develop a plan to implement and monitor an Award-Fee, Incentive-Fee, or

Award-Term result in accordance with FAR 15.4, Pricing.

B.11.4 Award Fee

Award fees may be applicable to the Contractor’s performance on individual

Task Orders. Should an award fee-type Task Order be issued, the total

amount of award fee the Contractor may earn over the period of performance

will be negotiated before award. The amount of award fee that the Contractor

actually earns will be based on an evaluation, as specified in the Task Order,

by the Government of the evaluation factors specified in each individual

award fee type Task Order. The evaluation of the Contractor’s performance

on the Task Order and the determination of Task Order award fees will be

accomplished with an Award Fee Plan. The Fee Determination Official (FDO)

will unilaterally determine the amount of award fee for performance on

individual Task Orders.

B.11.5 Time-and Material and Labor Hour Contract Types

Time and Materials (T&M) and Labor Hour (L-H) is defined under FAR

Subpart 16.6, T&M and L-H Contracts, and other applicable agency-specific

regulatory supplements. The Contractor may provide separate and/or

blended loaded hourly labor rates for prime Contractor labor, each

Subcontractor, and/or each Division, Subsidiary, or Affiliate in accordance

with the provisions set forth in FAR 52.216-29,

DFARS 252.216-7002 (for DoD Task Orders), FAR 52.216-30, or FAR 52.216-

31. The OCO will identify which provision is applicable in the Task Order

solicitation and the Contractor will comply with the provision. T&M and L-H

Task Orders require the Master Contract IT Standard LCATs and their

associated rates to be identified in the Task Order award

document. Ancillary subcontract labor shall be proposed and awarded as

Materials in accordance with FAR 52.232-7, Payments under Time-and-

Materials and Labor-Hour Contracts.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.11.5.1 Maximum Rates for Time-and-material and Labor Hour

Contract Types

a) APPLICABLE TO THE MASTER CONTRACT

Maximum Rate Definition: “Maximum Rate” is a term that applies

at the Master Contract level, and is not necessarily a term used at the

Task Order level. It represents and establishes maximum allowable

labor rates in the form of burdened rates for all Standard IT Service

LCATs indicated in this Master Contract. The burdened rates include

the direct labor cost, G&A, O/H, fringe benefits, and profit. The

Maximum Rates accommodate the U.S. Government security

classification up through the Secret level. These Maximum Rates

apply exclusively applicable to all T&M and L-H contract type Task

Orders and proposals. The Master Contract’s Maximum Rates are

not typically the same rates as the fixed-price labor rates or ceiling

labor rates that are established between the Contractor and issuing

agency at the Task Order Level.

Escalation Factor: The burdened maximum rates awarded for each

LCAT at initial contract award shall serve as the basis for all future

year pricing for those maximum rates. In order to determine future

year maximum rate pricing, the originally awarded rates will have an

escalation factor applied. This escalation factor will be the average

annual Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Employment Cost Index

(ECI), “Table 5: COMPENSATION (NOT SEASONALLY

ADJUSTED) for total compensation for private industry

workers, by occupational group and Industry, Professional,

scientific, and technical services” - for the previous three years.

In Year 5 of the Master Contract, if the average annual ECI for the

previous three years is higher than at time of the Master Contract

award date, the maximum rates for Master Contract Option Years 6

through 10, plus the remaining Period of Task Order Performance

Years 11through 15 will be adjusted by the difference of percentage

increase. For example, if the BLS ECI index was 2.23% at time of

proposal submission and the BLS ECI index is 3.16% in Year 5 of the

Master Contract, the maximum rates for years 6 through 15 will be

adjusted by 0.93% per year on a cumulative basis. If BLS ECI index

in Year 5 of the Master Contract is equal to or below the BLS ECI

index at time of award, the maximum rates will remain unchanged.

In Year 10 of the Master Contract, if the previous three-year average

annual BLS ECI index for the previous three years is higher than

Year 5 of the Master Contract, the maximum rates for the remaining

Period of Task Order Performance Years 11 through 15 will be

adjusted by the difference of percentage increase in accordance with

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

the example above. If the average index in Year 10 is equal to or

below the average index in Year 5, the maximum rates will remain

unchanged.

Direct labor and all other cost elements (including G&A, O/H, fringe

benefits, profit, and all other direct and/or indirect rates) that were

initially established at Master Contract award date can only increase

from the above Escalation Factor. No other factors shall increase

Maximum Rates.

b) APPLICABLE TO THE TASK ORDERS

1) Maximum Ceiling rates for current and future IT services

requirements are determined by GSA to be fair and reasonable on

the Master Contract, inclusive of the escalation factor. However,

the Task Order issuing agencies will perform their own

determination for fair and reasonable pricing for each Task Order

they award.

2) The Master Contract Maximum Rates that are in effect at the time

a Task Order is awarded shall remain with the Task Order award

during the entire term of the Task Order, including any Task

Orders option periods. Therefore, any price increases in LCATS

triggered by the Master Contract’s escalation factor during the term

of any active Task Order will not apply. Only newly awarded Task

Orders subsequent to an escalation factor’s execution may be

considered at the discretion of the Task Ordering issuing agency.

3) Based on the specific Task Order requirements, only the agency

OCO is authorized to exceed the Master Contract maximum rates

for those labor categories if necessary, for example, Top Secret/SCI

labor and/or OCONUS locations, etc. NOTE: The Maximum

Rates include the U.S. Government security classification

up through the Secret level. The Contractor shall always

provide to the agency OCO the detailed rationale in all

instances if and when the Maximum Rates of labor are

exceeded.

See Section F.3 Task Order Period of Performance.

B.11.5.2 Payments Under Time-And-Material And Labor-Hour Orders

Payments under T&M and LH terms (including matters related to

subcontractors, materials, indirect costs, etc.) are governed by the applicable

Payments Clause in this contract.

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

B.12 TRAVEL PRICING (ALL ORDER TYPES)

Contractor personnel may be required to travel to support the requirements

of this contract and as stated in individual TOs. Long distance and local

travel may be required both in the Contiguous United States (CONUS) and

Outside the Contiguous United States (OCONUS). For those TOs requiring

travel, the Contractor shall include estimated travel requirements in the

proposal as required by the OCO.

If authorized in the Task Order, travel will be reimbursed at actual cost in

accordance with the limitations set forth in FAR Subpart 31.205-46, Travel

Costs. Profit shall not be applied to travel costs. To the extent authorized by

the Task Order, Contractors may apply indirect costs to travel in accordance

with the Contractor’s usual accounting practices consistent with FAR 31.2.

The OCO will identify a not-to-exceed travel ceiling under a separate CLIN

on the Task Order.

B.13 WORK OUTSIDE THE CONTIGUOUS UNITED STATES

(OCONUS)

Contiguous United States (CONUS) means the 48 contiguous States and the

District of Columbia.

OCONUS includes:

1) OCONUS. Outside of the contiguous United States.

2) NON-FOREIGN OCONUS AREA. The states of Alaska and Hawaii,

the Commonwealths of Puerto Rico and the Northern Mariana Islands,

Guam, and U.S. territories and possessions.

It is anticipated that there may be Task Orders under this contract for work

outside the United States. The Contractor will be compensated for work

performed OCONUS pursuant to the Task Order. Standard references for

OCONUS pricing include:

The U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Administration, Office of

Allowances (see Attachment J-8 Website References) publishes quarterly

report indexes of living costs abroad, per-diem rate maximums, quarter’s

allowances, hardship differentials, and danger pay allowances for

Contractors to follow when proposing on OCONUS efforts. No allowances,

other than those listed by the U. S. Department of State, shall be allowed on

Task Orders.

The Department of State Standardized Regulations (DSSR) are the

controlling regulations for allowances and benefits available to all U.S.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION B – SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE/COSTS

Government civilians assigned to foreign areas; however, for Task Orders

issued under the Master Contract, Contractor civilians assigned to foreign

areas shall not exceed the allowances and benefits in the DSSR as well.

For OCONUS Task Orders where costs are not specifically addressed in the

DSSR, the Government will reimburse the Contractor for all reasonable,

allowable, and allocable costs in accordance with FAR 31, Contract Cost

Principles and Procedures.

B.14 GWAC CONTRACT ACCESS FEE (CAF)

GSA’s operating costs are reimbursed through a Contract Access Fee (CAF)

charged on orders placed against the Master Contract. The CAF is paid by

the ordering agency, but remitted to GSA by the Contractor. GSA maintains

the unilateral right to establish and change the CAF rate. GSA will provide

at least a 60-day notice prior to the Effective Date of any change to the CAF

payment process. Changes to the CAF only apply to orders awarded after the

change is announced.

The CAF rate, which is 0.75% at time of Master Contract Award, is applied to

the total amount reported on each invoice.

Based on the established CAF rate, the Contractor shall include the CAF in

each proposal. The Contractor shall include the CAF as a separate cost

element on all proposals to the government, regardless of contract type. The

Figure 1 - Federal Enterprise Architecture

The Master Contract leverages the existing FEA and the DoD IEA version

2.0 as the basis of its IT scope.

FEA & DOD IEA represent a well-defined practice for conducting enterprise

analysis, design, planning, and implementation, using a holistic approach at

all times, for the successful development and execution of strategy.

Enterprise architecture applies architecture principles and practices to guide

organizations through the business, information, process, and technology

changes necessary to execute their strategies. This includes everything from

a small mobile application development project to the design, installation and

migration to a complex network serving hundreds of thousands of

users. These practices utilize the various aspects of an enterprise to identify,

motivate, and achieve these changes.

Each reference model represents and includes a number of functional areas

required to meet an objective.

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

C.3.1 FEA Reference Model Detailed Descriptions

Enterprise Architecture (EA) supports planning and decision-making through

documentation and information that provides an abstracted view of an

enterprise at various levels of scope and detail. The Common Approach to

Federal Enterprise Architecture, released in May 2012 as part of the federal

CIO’s policy guidance and management tools for increasing shared

approaches to IT service delivery, presents an overall approach to developing

and using Enterprise Architecture in the Federal Government. The Common

Approach promotes increased levels of mission effectiveness by standardizing

the development and use of architectures within and between Federal

Agencies. This includes principles for using EA to help agencies eliminate

waste and duplication, increase-shared services, close performance gaps, and

promote engagement among government, industry, and citizens.

The Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework v2 describes a suite of tools

to help government planners implement the Common Approach. At its core

is the Consolidated Reference Model (CRM), which equips OMB and Federal

agencies with a common language and framework to describe and analyze

investments. It consists of a set of interrelated “reference models” that

describe the six sub architecture domains in the framework:

• Strategy

• Business

• Data

• Applications

• Infrastructure

• Security

These are designed to facilitate cross-agency analysis and the identification of

duplicative investments, gaps and opportunities for collaboration within and

across agencies. Also, by applying all six reference models, agencies can

establish a line of sight from the strategic goals at the highest organizational

level to the software and hardware infrastructure that enable achievement of

those goals. Collectively, the reference models comprise a framework for

describing important elements of federal agency operations in a common and

consistent way.

To apply the framework to an agency’s specific environment, the agency

should develop a set of “core” artifacts to document its environment within

the framework presented by the CRM. Each subarchitecture domain

represents a specific area of the overall framework and has particular

artifacts, based on EA best practices, which are described and recommended

in the Framework and Artifacts document. The type and depth of

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

documentation actually used by the agency should be guided by the need or

detail and answers to questions about requirements, applicable standards,

timeframes, and available resources.

The real value to the agency of developing an Enterprise Architecture is to

facilitate planning for the future in a way that transforms the government

while making it more efficient. The agency can use the EA process to

describe the enterprise as it currently is and determine what the enterprise

should look like in the future, so that it can make plans to transition from the

current state to the future state. The Collaborative Planning Methodology

provides steps for planners to use throughout the planning process to flesh

out a transition strategy that will enable the future state to become reality. It

is a simple, repeatable process that consists of integrated, multi-disciplinary

analysis that involves sponsors, stakeholders, planners, and implementers.

The agency will create an Enterprise Roadmap to document the current and

future architecture states at a high level and presents the transition plan for

how the agency will move from the present to the future in an efficient,

effective manner. The agency’s Enterprise Roadmap combines the artifacts

developed for the EA, both current and future state versions, with a plan

developed through the Collaborative Planning Methodology. This creates

awareness, visibility and transparency within an organization to facilitate

cross-organization planning and collaboration. It maps strategy to projects

and budget and helps identify gaps between investment and execution, as

well as dependencies and risks between projects.

All in all, the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework v2 helps to

accelerate agency business transformation and new technology enablement

by providing standardization, analysis and reporting tools, an enterprise

roadmap, and a repeatable architecture project method that is more agile and

useful and will produce more authoritative information for intra- and inter-

agency planning, decision making, and management.

Overview of the Collaborative Planning Methodology (CPM)

Planning is done to affect change in support of an organization’s Strategic

Plan, and the many types of planners (e.g., architects, organization and

program managers, strategic planners, capital planners, and other planners)

must work together to develop an integrated, actionable plan to implement

that change. Planning should be used to determine the exact changes that

are needed to implement an organization’s Strategic Plan, enable consistent

decision-making, and provide measurable benefits to the organization. In

short, an organization’s Strategic Plan should be executed by well-rounded

planning that results in purposeful projects with measurable benefits.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

In today’s environment, which demands more efficient government through

the reuse of solutions and services, organizations need actionable, consistent,

and rigorous plans to implement Strategic Plans and solve priority

needs. These integrated plans should support efforts to leverage other

Federal, state, local, tribal, and international experiences and results as a

means of reusing rather than inventing from scratch. Plans should be

consistent and rigorous descriptions of the structure of the organization or

enterprise, how IT resources will be efficiently used, and how the use of

assets such as IT will ultimately achieve stated strategies and needs.

Consolidated Reference Models

The Consolidated Reference Model of the FEA equips OMB and Federal

agencies with a common language and framework to describe and analyze

investments. It consists of a set of interrelated “reference models” designed

to facilitate cross-agency analysis and the identification of duplicative

investments, gaps and opportunities for collaboration within and across

agencies. Collectively, the reference models comprise a framework for

describing important elements of federal agency operations in a common and

consistent way. Through the use of the FEAF and its vocabulary, IT portfolios

can be better managed and leveraged across the federal government,

enhancing collaboration and ultimately transforming the Federal

government.

The five reference models in version 1 the FEA have been regrouped and

expanded into six in the current version of the FEA.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

With edits for brevity, the following reference model summarized

descriptions were taken from OMB’s FEA Consolidated Reference Model

Document Version 2. dated January 29, 2013.

Significantly more detail about the structure, taxonomy, and

associated methods of the reference models is available online:

See Attachment J-8 Website References.

The motivating purpose of adopting The FEA as scope guidance is to help

establish business driver alignment with any number of the reference models

which support all possible underlying technologies required to meet an

agency objective as well as offering the baseline for the technical vocabulary

required in any given task.

Performance Reference Model (PRM)

The PRM is designed to provide linkage between investments or activities

and the strategic vision established by agencies and the Federal

government. Historically, linking information management investments and

activities has been anecdotal due to a lack of standard approach to describing

Agency and cross agency performance attributes. The GPRA Modernization

Act of 2010 requires the government to publish performance information

through a central web site and make strategic plans and performance reports

available in machine readable formats. This advance enables more

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

comprehensive and consistent linking of investments and activities to Agency

strategic goals and objectives, Agency priority Goals, Cross Agency Priority

goals and management areas of focus. The PRM leverages the requirements

of the GPRA Modernization Act to establish mechanisms to link directly to

the authoritative performance elements published in compliance with the law

and provides the means for use of future developments in the mandated

central performance website Performance.gov.

There are three areas to the Performance Reference Model. The first is the

Goal. This enables grouping of investments and activities through a common

and authoritative framework established by agencies in compliance with

OMB direction and the GPRA Modernization Act. It allows the identification

of common performance elements across investments or activities, and in the

future, will enable cross platform information linkages between systems such

as Performance.gov and the IT Dashboard.

This linkage provides the logical relationships necessary to consistently

provide much richer insights into details of the supported performance areas

than previously feasible.

The second area of the Performance Reference Model is Measurement

Area. This describes the manner in which the investment or activity

supports the achievement of the supported performance element identified by

the Agency Goal. Measurement Areas apply to the more detailed

performance indicators associated with the investment of activity rather than

the functions of the investment or activity. Investment or activity

performance indicators should have a clear linkage to the activities, of course,

but it is important to recognize that investments or activities may align to

multiple measurement areas.

The third area, Measurement Category, refines Measurement Area. Any

Measurement Category may be applied to any Goal.

The PRM, like all other reference models, is intended to work in concert with

other reference models. The combined descriptive qualities of the multiple

perspectives afforded by assigning different reference model perspectives to

investments or activities can provide rich insights into what, why and how

the investments or activities are undertaken. Previous versions of the PRM

included mission function characteristics that were redundant to the

BRM. In this version of the PRM the Measurement Category codes have

been streamlined to better identify the means by which performance is

achieved. Including BRM and PRM mappings with an investment or activity

provides information about the strategic basis (why) through the Agency

Goal, the means (how) through the measurement category, and the mission

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

functions involved (what) through the BRM taxonomy. Additional mappings

to other reference models provide further context for the investment or

activity with the SRM providing information about risk, the DRM about the

information involved and the ARM and IRM providing the technical details

about the implementation.

Business Reference Model (BRM)

The BRM is a classification taxonomy used to describe the type of business

functions and services that are performed in the Federal Government. By

describing the Federal Government using standard business functions rather

than an organizational view, the BRM promotes cross-government

collaboration. It enables business and IT leaders to discover opportunities for

cost savings and new business capabilities that help to achieve strategic

objectives. The BRM describes the “What we do” of the Federal enterprise

through the definition of outcome-oriented and measurable functions and

services.

While the BRM provides a standardized way of classifying government

functions, it is only a model; its true utility and value is realized when it is

applied and effectively used in business analysis, design and decision support

that help to improve the performance of an agency, bureau or program.

BRM is informed by the PRM and informs the other reference models. At the

high level, the BRM relationship and tie-in to the other reference models is

illustrated in the following table:

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

The BRM forms a key part in delivering expected outcomes and business

value to an organization. By using a standard taxonomy to classify functions,

investments, programs, services and other elements across the Federal

Government, the BRM is useful in identifying opportunities for cost

reduction, collaboration, shared services, and solution reuse in agency IT

portfolios and intra- and inter-agency collaboration.

Data Reference Model (DRM)

The DRM’s primary purpose is to promote the common identification, use,

and appropriate sharing of data/information across the federal

government. The DRM is a flexible and standards-based framework to

enable information sharing and reuse via the standard description and

discovery of common data and the promotion of uniform data management

practices. The DRM provides a standard means by which data may be

described, categorized, and shared, and it facilitates discovery and exchange

of core information across organizational boundaries.

As a reference model, the DRM is presented as an abstract framework from

which concrete implementations may be derived. The DRM’s abstract nature

will enable agencies to use multiple implementation approaches,

methodologies and technologies while remaining consistent with the

foundational principles of the DRM.

The DRM is closely linked with the other five reference models of the

Consolidated Reference Model Framework. At the high level, the DRM

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

relationship and tie-in to the other reference models is illustrated in the

following table:

The DRM provides guidance for agencies to leverage existing Data Assets

across the government. The DRM increases the Federal government’s agility

in drawing out the value of information as a strategic asset. This reference-

able, conceptual approach facilitates information sharing and reuse across

the Federal government.

Application Reference Model (ARM)

The purpose of the ARM is to provide the basis for categorizing applications

and their components. As agencies map their current and planned

Information Systems to the ARM categories, gaps and redundancies will

become evident, which will aid in identifying opportunities for sharing, reuse,

and consolidation or renegotiation of licenses. This information may be used

in conjunction with the other Reference Models to identify these

opportunities.

For the purposes of the CRM, Application is defined as: Software components

(including websites, databases, email, and other supporting software) resting

on Infrastructure that, when aggregated and managed, may be used to

create, use, share, and store data and information to enable support of a

business function.

The ARM is a categorization of different types of software, components and

interfaces. It categorizes software that supports or may be customized to

support business. It does not include operating systems or software that is

used to operate hardware (e.g. firmware) because these are contained in the

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

IRM. It also does not contain mission-specific categorizations for systems

because that information can be obtained from mappings to the BRM.

The ARM is closely linked with the other five reference models of the

Consolidated Reference Model Framework. At the high level, the ARM

relationship and tie-in to the other reference models is illustrated in the

following table:

Infrastructure Reference Model (IRM)

The IRM is the taxonomy based reference model for categorizing IT

infrastructure and the facilities and network that host the IT

infrastructure. The IRM supports definition of infrastructure technology

items and best practice guidance to promote positive outcomes across

technology implementations.

For the purposes of the CRM, Infrastructure is defined as: The generic

(underlying) platform consisting of hardware, software and delivery platform

upon which specific/customized capabilities (solutions, applications) may be

deployed.

The IRM implementation enables sharing and reuse of infrastructure to

reduce costs, increase interoperability across the government and its

partners, support efficient acquisition and deployment, and enable greater

access to information across enterprises.

In addition to providing a categorization schema for IT infrastructure assets,

the IRM enables analysis of IT infrastructure assets at a Department or

Agency level as well as at a Federal Government level. In the Federal

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

context, the IRM is adopted and used to conduct Government-wide analysis of

IT infrastructure assets and to identify consolidation initiatives. In the

Department or Agency context, the IRM is used to drive good IT

infrastructure asset management practices such as identifying end-of-life

assets before they affect the mission of an organization and to identify

opportunities for sharing and consolidating infrastructure.

The IRM is closely linked with the other five reference models of the

Consolidated Reference Model Framework (CRM). At the high level, the

IRM relationship and tie-in to the other reference models is illustrated in the

following table:

Security Reference Model (SRM)

Security is integral to all architectural domains and at all levels of an

organization. As a result, the SRM must be woven into all of the sub-

architectures of the overarching EA across all the other reference models and

it must be considered up and down the different levels of the

Enterprise. Enterprise Architecture Governance is the perfect place for

security standards, policies, and norms to be developed and followed, since it

is an enforcement point for Information Technology investments.

The SRM allows architects to classify or categorize security architecture at

all scope levels of the Federal Architecture: International, National, Federal,

Sector, Agency, Segment, System and Application. At the highest levels, the

SRM is used to transform federal laws, regulations, and publications into

specific policies. At the segment level, the SRM is used to transform

department specific policies into security controls and measurements. At the

system level, it is used to transform segment controls into system specific

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

designs or requirements. Each level of the SRM is critical to the overall

security posture and health of an organization and/or system.

The SRM helps business owners with risk-based decision-making to achieve

security objectives by understanding the purpose and impact of security

controls on business processes or IT systems.

Security integration across layers of the architecture is essential to ensure

the protection of information and IT assets. Security must start at the

business layer and work its way down to the application and infrastructure

layers.

At the high level, the SRM relationship and tie-in to the other reference

models is illustrated below:

Linking security and privacy to agency enterprise architecture, including

agency performance objectives, business processes, data flows, applications

and infrastructure technologies, ensures that each aspect of the business

receives appropriate security and privacy considerations. Additionally,

addressing security and privacy through enterprise architecture promotes

interoperability and aids in the standardization and consolidation of security

and privacy capabilities.

C.4.4 Cloud Computing

The following is an excerpt from the most recent NIST guidance:

Special Publication 800-146, Cloud Computing Synopsis and

Recommendations. The full document can be obtained: See Attachment J-8

Website References.

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network

access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks,

servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned

and released with minimal management effort or service provider

interaction. This cloud model is composed of five essential characteristics,

three service models, and four deployment models.

Cloud Essential Characteristics

On-demand self-service: A consumer can unilaterally provision computing

capabilities, such as server time and network storage, as needed

automatically without requiring human interaction with each service’s

provider.

Broad network access: Capabilities are available over the network and

accessed through standard mechanisms that promote use by heterogeneous

thin or thick client platforms (e.g., mobile phones, tablets, laptops, and

workstations).

Resource pooling: The provider’s computing resources are pooled to serve

multiple consumers using a multi-tenant model, with different physical and

virtual resources dynamically assigned and reassigned according to consumer

demand. There is a sense of location independence in that the customer

generally has no control or knowledge over the exact location of the provided

resources but may be able to specify location at a higher level of abstraction

(e.g., country, state, or datacenter). Examples of resources include storage,

processing, memory, and network bandwidth.

Rapid elasticity: Capabilities can be rapidly and elastically provisioned, in

some cases automatically, to scale rapidly outward and inward

commensurate with demand. To the consumer, the capabilities available for

provisioning often appear to be unlimited and can be appropriated in any

quantity at any time.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Measured Service: Cloud systems automatically control and optimize

resource use by leveraging a metering capability at some level of abstraction

appropriate to the type of service (e.g., storage, processing, bandwidth, and

active user accounts). Resource usage can be monitored, controlled, and

reported, providing transparency for both the provider and consumer of the

utilized service.

Cloud Service Models

Cloud Software as a Service (SaaS): The capability provided to the consumer

is to use the provider’s applications running on a cloud infrastructure. The

applications are accessible from various client devices through a thin client

interface such as a Web browser (e.g., Web-based email), or a program

interface. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud

infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, storage, or even

individual application capabilities, with the possible exception of limited

user-specific application configuration settings.

Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS). The capability provided to the consumer

is to deploy onto the cloud infrastructure consumer-created or -acquired

applications created using programming languages and tools supported by

the provide. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud

infrastructure including network, servers, operating systems, or storage, but

has control over the deployed applications and possibly application hosting

environment configurations.

Cloud Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). The capability provided to the

consumer is to provision processing, storage, networks, and other

fundamental computing resources where the consumer is able to deploy and

run arbitrary software, which can include operating systems and

applications. The consumer does not manage or control the underlying cloud

infrastructure but has control over operating systems, storage, deployed

applications; and possibly limited control of select networking components

(e.g., host firewalls).

All currently emerging and future Cloud Computing as Service offerings,

such as “X” as a Service, are within the Scope.

C.4.5 Big Data & Big Data Analytics

NIST is currently in working groups concerning this subject and released a

preliminary definition during the October 2014 working Group

conference. The following is excerpt from that preliminary release.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Big data consists of advanced techniques that harness independent resources

for building scalable data systems when the characteristics of the datasets

require new architectures for efficient storage, manipulation, and analysis.

Big data is where the data volume, acquisition velocity, or data

representation limits the ability to perform effective analysis using

traditional approaches or requires the use of significant horizontal scaling

(more nodes) for efficient processing.

C.5 ANCILLARY SUPPORT: SERVICES, SUPPLIES AND

CONSTRUCTION

The Contractor may provide ancillary support as necessary to offer an

integrated IT services-based solution. The ancillary support described here

may only be included in a Task Order when it is integral to and necessary for

the IT services-based effort. Ancillary support may include, but is not limited

to, such things as: clerical support; data entry; subject matter expertise;

server racks, mounts, or similar items; and construction, alteration, and

repair to real property; and Telecommunications, Wireless, and Satellite

services and goods.

(i) The Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO) may allow, and the Contractor

may propose, a labor category or labor categories in support of ancillary

products and/or support services at the Task Order level not identified in the

Standard IT Service Labor Category (LCAT) list, provided that the

Contractor complies with all applicable contract clauses and labor laws,

including the Service Contract Labor Standards or the Wage Rate

Requirements (Construction) and Related Acts, if applicable. See Section B.7

and B.8 for additional contract requirements.

(ii) An OCO’s inclusion of new labor categories in support of ancillary

support services labor categories in a Task Order does not require PCO

approval.

C.6 CONTRACT SECURITY REQUIREMENTS

The Contractor shall abide by all contract cybersecurity requirements located

in Sections H.6, H.7, Attachment J-2, and related federal policy, and other

contract security requirements in Sections H.8 and H.9. These requirements

cover minimum-security standards for select Contractor systems, the

handling of Government sensitive data and information technology,

Contractor security clearances, and Homeland Security.

C.7 PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

C.7.1 Master Contract PWS

The GSA Alliant 2 GWAC is a results-oriented program seeking Outcome-

based performance from every Contractor under the Master Contract. It is a

standalone Performance-based Acquisition (PBA) requirement independent

from Task Order level PBAs that the issuing federal agency might require.

The PBA requirements of the Master Contract are designed to ensure that

the Contractor is given freedom to determine how to meet the Government's

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION C - CONTRACT SCOPE OF WORK AND PERFORMANCE WORK

STATEMENT

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

performance Objectives at the appropriate performance quality levels. This

Master Contract PWS includes (1) Contractor Engagement, the most critical

PWS, described in Section H.19, J-5.A and (2) Small Business

Subcontracting, described in Section G.22.

All measurable performance standards in terms of quality, timeliness,

quantity, and the method of assessing Contractor performance against

performance standards for the Master Contract are established in Section J’s

Attachment J-5 Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). The PRS listings

of Performance Standards indicate the acceptable performance level required

by the Government to meet the key Master Contract deliverables. The

standards will be measured and structured to permit an assessment of the

Contractor’s performance whereby the results will also be written into the

Contractor Past Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The

Government will request the Contractor to develop a Quality Control Plan,

within the time specified in Section F.7, in response to a Government Quality

Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) that will be developed and implemented

by the GSA for the PRS Performance Standards after the Effective Date

during the first contract year of the Master Contract.

C.7.1.1 Master Contract PWS and Goals for Contractor Engagement

Critical Performance Requirements for Contractor Engagement are further

detailed in Section H.19 Contractor Engagement Requirements based upon

Task Order Participation and Production, and in Attachment J-5.A

Contractor Engagement Performance-based Evaluation Program.

The primary goals of Contractor Engagement program are (1) to provide

federal agencies with responsibly prepared Contractor Proposals/Quotes in

response to each Task Order Request for Proposal/Request for Quote

(RFP/RFQ) competitively issued under the Master Contract so to help provide

best-value solutions to federal agencies’ IT services requirements, and (2) to

promote, provide, and ensure that those federal agencies employing the

Alliant 2 GWAC are consistently receiving adequate and effective competition

in response to their RFPs/RFQs, which ultimately results in achieving these

end-goals: (a) economic efficiency/costs savings; (b) innovation of

transformational technologies; (c) improvements in the quality of services

rendered, and; (d) the opportunity for the Government to acquire

performance improvements. Achievement of these primary goals are reached

through a combination of two measurable Outcomes: (1) Submitting viable

Task Order Proposals (Participation) and (2) Winning Task Orders

(Production), which together help provides best-value IT services solutions to

the federal agencies.

There will be substantial subcontracting opportunities for small business,

including veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned

small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and

women-owned small business concerns. Therefore, meeting Small Business

Subcontracting Goals described in Section G.22 is applicable only to Other

than Small Business Concerns under the Master Contract. PWS

requirements are further detailed in Attachment J-5.B Small Business

Subcontracting Performance-based Evaluation Program.

C.7.2 Task Order PWS

For Task Orders issued under the Master Contract, it is the requiring federal

agency OCO that develops and executes their own PWS and PBA methods

independent of the Master Contract PWS and PBA requirements. The OCO

may use PBA methods to the maximum extent practicable using the following

order of precedence: (1) Firm-Fixed-Price Performance-Based Task Orders (2)

Performance-Based Task Orders that are not Firm-Fixed-Priced.

C.8 INNOVATIVE SOLUTIONS

The Contractor should approach agency Task Order requirements with

technical proposals offering the most innovative solutions possible leveraging

the flexibility provided by FEA encompassed in the scope of this Master

Contract. The choice to align scope with FEA allows for a “Greenfield

Approach” to the adoption of new technologies and innovative solution

approaches in both technology and acquisition as they emerge to meet the

rapidly changing and demanding dynamic IT services requirements of the

federal Government today and in the future.

The Government strongly encourages the Contractor to also continuously

prospect for and establish specialized subcontracting relationships and

partnerships, especially with innovative small businesses, to further leverage

commercially driven emerging and leading edge technologies in support of

providing the needed innovation in solving the federal Government's IT

services procurement requirements.

F.2 MASTER CONTRACT ORDERING PERIOD

Determined) through ________________________ (To Be Determined),

inclusive of all options, if exercised.

The contract ordering period begins on the Master Contract’s Effective

Date, also referred to by the GSA GWAC Program as the Notice-to-proceed

date, and continues through the five-year base period plus the single five-

year Option period, which may extend the cumulative term of the contract to

a maximum of 10 years in accordance with FAR 52.217-9, Option to Extend

the Term of the Contact, if exercised. The Contractor’s pricing submitted for

Contract Year One will coincide with the Notice-to-Proceed, Effective Date.

After the Master Contract ordering period expires, the Master Contract will

remain an active contract until the final Task Order performance is

completed and shall govern the terms and conditions with respect to active

Task Orders to the same extent as if it were completed during the Master

Contract ordering period. Therefore, the Task Order can extend beyond the

expiration of the Master Contract and the terms and conditions of the Master

Contract will still remain in effect pursuant to Section I.8 FAR 52.216-22

Indefinite Quantity, which states, “The contract shall govern the Contractor’s

and Government’s rights and obligations with respect to that order to the

same extent as if the order were completed during the contract’s effective

period; provided, that the Contractor shall not be required to make any

deliveries under this contract after 60 months following the expiration of the

base contract ordering period.” Additionally, all awarded Task Order’s terms

and conditions, including exercising Options, remain in effect up to 60

months beyond the expiration of the Master Contract.

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION

DATA

G.1 GENERAL

This section provides contract administration requirements for the GSA

GWAC, and where applicable, for each Task Order placed under this Master

Contract. Additional contract administration requirements, not related to the

Master Contract, may be specified in each Task Order.

G.2 AUTHORIZED AGENCIES AND DELEGATION OF

PROCUREMENT AUTHORITY

G.2.1 Authorized Agencies

The Master Contract is available for use by all Federal agencies and other

entities as listed in U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) Order ADM

4800.2H, Eligibility to use GSA Sources and Supply; as amended (see

Attachment J-8 Website References).

JUNE 30, 2016 STATUTORY UPDATE: The GSA Order, OGP 4800.2I

Eligibility to Use GSA Sources of Supply and Services, has been

updated, signed, and posted to the GSA Directives Library. The impetus

for issuance of this revised Order is the recent amendment to 48 U.S.C. §

1469e to, in relevant part, include the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico as

an eligible user of GSA’s supply sources. The amendment was part of the

Puerto Rico Oversight, Management, and Economic Stability Act

(PROMESA), which was signed into law on June 30, 2016. The

Commonwealth of Puerto Rico has access to the Agency’s sources of

supply and services.

G.2.2 Delegation of Procurement Authority

Federal buyers who wish to use the GSA GWAC must receive and will benefit

from GSA GWAC contract overview training leading to a written Delegation

of Procurement Authority (“DPA” or “delegation”). A written DPA authorizes

warranted contracting officers to become Ordering Contracting Officers

(OCOs), and is required prior to awarding and administering Orders.

The OCO training and written delegation requirements are beneficial

because DPAs provide a clearly structured understanding of roles and

responsibilities between the Master Contract Contracting Officer(s) and

OCOs, resulting in a positive take away for all stakeholders. The training

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

and DPA arise out of GSA’s obligations to the Office of Management and

Budget, are consistent with Section 865 of the Duncan Hunter National

Defense Authorization Act of 2009, P.L. 110-417 (“DHNDAA” or “NDAA

2009”) and are in-line with the related recommendation of the Acquisition

Advisory Panel/SARA Panel (authorized by Section 1423 of the Services

Acquisition Reform Act of 2003).

While delegation can only be granted to warranted Contracting Officers, all

individuals (i.e., project managers, program officials, etc.) involved with a

Task Order are encouraged to participate in the training.

No work may be performed, no debt or obligation accrued and no payment

may be made except as authorized by a bona-fide written order signed by an

OCO having a written GSA GWAC DPA.

G.3 AGENCY OMBUDSMAN

In accordance with FAR 16.505 (a)(10) no protest under $10,000,000 is

authorized in connection with the issuance or proposed issuance of an order

under a Task-Order Contract or Delivery-Order Contract, except for a protest

on the grounds that the Task Order increases the scope, period of

performance, or maximum value of the Master Contract.

GSA Personnel Only: Subject to GSAR 552.216-74, GSA designates an

Ombudsman to this Master Contract. For the purposes of the Master

Contract, the primary duties of the GSA Ombudsman, as it concerns GSA

GWACS, is to review complaints from Contractors and ensure that they are

afforded a fair opportunity for consideration in the award of Task Orders

consistent with the procedures of the Master Contract. The Ombudsman is a

senior GSA official who is independent of the GSA GWAC PCO, GSA GWAC

ACO, or OCO.

The GSA Ombudsman is:

contract action, GSA reserves the right to authorize another warranted GSA

Contracting Officer to execute official contracting documents on their behalf.

The GSA GWAC PCO/ACO will also act in the capacity of the Assessing

Official in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS) who is responsible for evaluating Contractor performance and for

G.11 INSURANCE

The Contractor shall maintain the minimum insurance coverage delineated

within Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 28.3 for the full

duration of the Master Contract and each applicable Task Order that extends

beyond the expiration date of the Master Contract. The Contractor shall

notify the GSA GWAC Contracting Officer and designated OCO for affected

Task Orders, in writing, if there are any changes in the status of their

insurance coverage and provide the reasons for the change. Allowable costs as

per FAR Subsection 31.205-19 shall be recovered through work at the Task

Order level, with no obligation of payment at the Master Contract

level. Contractors that do not to win a single Task Order award shall not be

compensated at the Master Contract level beyond the value specified for the

minimum guarantee.

The OCO may request a copy of the insurance directly with the

Contractor and/or require additional insurance coverage or higher limits

specific to a Task Order awarded under the Master Contract. If the Task

Order does not specify any insurance coverage amounts, the minimum

insurance requirements in FAR Subpart 28.307-2 LIABILITY shall apply to

the Task Order. Additionally, pursuant to FAR 52.228-7(a)(1), the

Contracting Officer may require other insurance, which includes the Task

Order Contracting Officer.

G.12 STANDARD IT SERVICE LABOR CATEGORY CROSS-

WALK MATRIX

The Standard IT Service LCAT Cross-walk Matrix is a cross reference library

of Standard IT Service LCATs that will help the GWAC Program and

Contractors correlate to their commercial or corporate IT labor titles and

descriptions to those used by the Department of Labor Standard

Occupational Classification (DOL SOC) and those currently adopted as

Standard IT Service LCATs on the Master Contract (see Attachment J-3

Labor Category Descriptions and BLS Service Occupational Classifications).

The information contained within the Standard IT Service LCATs Cross-walk

Matrix may be shared on the GSA GWAC Webpage.

Due to varied commercial labor titles across all Contractors, the Standard IT

Service LCAT Cross-walk Matrix will help to prevent inadvertent inclusion of

new IT Service LCATs, containing similar functional scope descriptions or

alias’ references in the DOL/SOC that may generally conform to the Master

Contract Standard IT Service LCATs. If one or more of the Contractors

cannot agree to the proposed IT Service LCAT matching to the DOL/SOC or

the Master Contract, the proposed IT Service LCAT determination will be

unilaterally made by the GSA GWAC Program to classify the proposed IT

Service LCAT to the DOL SOC and the Master Contract.

The Contractor shall provide a completed Standard IT Service LCAT Cross-

walk Matrix, via a GSA GWAC Program approved file format, that maps to

the Contractor’s internal corporate specific IT Service LCATs to the list of

Standard IT Service LCATs defined in Attachment J-3 Labor Category

Descriptions and BLS Service Occupational Classifications. The Contractor

shall match their Corporate Labor Titles to all the Standard IT Service

LCATs defined to the GSA GWAC. This completed mapping file shall be

emailed to the GSA GWAC Program at Alliant2@gsa.gov and is required by

the date specified in Section F.7. The content requested includes but not

limited to:

• Department of Labor Standard Occupational Classification

• GSA GWAC Standard IT Service LCAT Title

• Equivalent Corporate IT Service LCAT Title

• Equivalent Corporate IT Service LCAT Functional Description

From time to time and as innovative emerging technologies are developed,

the GSA GWAC Program will request updates to the Standard IT Service

LCAT Cross-walk Matrix to conform with the introduction of any new

Standard IT Service LCATs. These periodic updates will be requested by the

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

GSA GWAC Contracting Officer and updates will be required by the date

specified in Section F.7

G.13 MEETINGS AND CONFERENCES

From time to time the Government may require attendance at Government

conferences and meetings at no additional cost to the Government.

G.13.1 Post-Award Conference

The Contractor shall participate in a mandatory post-award conference after

the Notice to Proceed that will be held at a time and place to be determined

by the GSA GWAC PCO (FAR 42.503-1).

The purpose of the post award conference is to aid both the Contractor and

the Government in achieving a clear and mutual understanding of all

contract requirements in the Master Contract and identify and resolve

potential issues (See FAR Subpart 42.5 Post award Orientation).

The GSA GWAC Government Program Manager will act as Chairperson with

the GSA GWAC PCO as Co-chairperson at the conference.

G.13.2 Meetings and Conferences

The GSA GWAC Program conducts and sponsors several meetings and

conferences each year in support of the Aliant 2 GWAC Program. Some are

contractually required and others are optional to the contractor.

G.13.2.1 Mandatory Contractor Meetings and Conferences

The GSA GWAC Program may conduct a maximum of four (4) mandatory

Program Management Review (PMR) meetings per year held at a

Government or commercial facility at a location that might require overnight

travel to attend. A PMR may alternatively be conducted via a virtual webinar

when resources for facilitates or travel are not available to the Government.

Historically, the GSA GWAC Program has held an average of two onsite

PMRs per year.

The PMR meetings when combined with Outreach Events will be about a 2-

day event. The GSA GWAC PMR meetings provide a platform for

Contractors, GWAC Division personnel, GSA Assisted Acquisition Services

(AAS) personnel, and other GSA & non-GSA agency representatives to

communicate current issues, resolve potential problems, discuss business and

marketing opportunities, review future and ongoing GSA and government-

wide initiatives, speak to Contract Administration matters, and address

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Master Contract fundamentals. To ensure accurate attendance at the

mandatory PMRs, registration of Contractor personnel is required.

Contractor Participants: The Contractor participants at the PMR meetings

shall include a minimum of one key Contractor management personnel

representative. The maximum available number of Contractor participants

who may attend above one key representative will not be known until a

facility for the PMR is chosen by the Government. The Contractor will be

notified by an email announcement on the number of allowable participants,

the meeting/conference location and other logistical details for each upcoming

PMR at least two to three weeks prior to the scheduled event.

Third party commercial business consultants/subcontractors may not

represent the Alliant 2 GWAC Contractor's Management Personnel at any

PMR meetings. Additionally, the Contractor is not permitted to add or

substitute their Management Personnel with another company’s

representatives who are not a GSA GWAC contract holder. Any exceptions to

this attendance restriction must be submitted in writing to the date specified

in Section F.7 prior to the event itself and will be considered by either the

GSA GWAC PCO/ACO/COR.

Government Participants and Government Sponsored Participants: The

Government participants may include the GSA GWAC Program Manager,

GSA GWAC PCO/ACO/COR among other Government representatives.

Additionally, by invitation of the GSA GWAC Program Manager, the

meetings may include guest speakers, panelists, and other invited

participants from both Government and Industry to supplement the

discussion topics at the PMR events.

G.13.2.2 Optional Contractor Meetings and Conferences

The GSA GWAC Program does sponsor other meetings that are optional for

the Contractor to attend. Additionally, other federal agencies and industry

organizations provide opportunities for relevant training, outreach and

networking to the Contractor. These optional types of meetings are not a

requirement of the Master Contract; however, may provide a benefit to the

Contractor should they choose to participate. An example of some of the

events that may be available to the Contractor are the following:

1. GSA GWAC SIG Events & Alliant Lunch and Learn Events

Shared Interest Group (SIG) Conference Calls and Lunch & Learn

Sessions designed for the exchange of information among contract

holders and the GSA GWAC Program. Participation in these

conference calls will ensure that Contractors are kept abreast of

ongoing GWAC Program and Contractor community activities, and

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

participants are encouraged to assist in the development of strategies

around market outreach, education, communication, and other topics

relevant to the GSA GWAC Program.

2. Customer Agency Outreach Events

Customer Agency Outreach is a platform for Contractors and

Government to collaborate on IT and acquisition issues and may

involve GSA GWAC customers.

3. Office of Small Business Utilization (OSBU) Matchmaking Events

GSA OSBU Small Business Matchmaking Events offer potential

small businesses to network with GSA GWAC Contractors for the

purposes of facilitating teaming and mentoring.

G.14 ELECTRONIC GOVERNMENT ORDERING SYSTEM

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.505(b) the Government

will afford fair opportunity for Task Order award to all Contractors in the

Alliant 2 award pool. The preferred system for posting GSA GWAC

opportunities is the GSA eBuy system (See Attachment J-8 Website

References). To establish full inclusion in the fair opportunity process, each

Contractor is responsible for registering and maintaining an account in:

1) eBuy - Available to all federal agencies.

eBuy is an electronic Request for Proposal/Request for Quote (RFP/RFQ)

system designed to allow all government buyers to request information,

find sources, and prepare and post RFPs/RFQs online for IT services

offered through the GSA Technology Contracts.

GSA Assisted Acquisition Service OCOs using the GSA IT Solutions Shop

can utilize the eBuy Connect feature, which will enable the posting of

GWAC requirements into the GSA eBuy system. The actual receipt of

proposals may occur outside of the eBuy system, as directed in the Task

Order Request.

2) Other Channels Providing Fair Opportunity – Task Ordering

agencies may use other methods to provide for fair opportunity including,

agency ordering systems, direct contact through published email

addresses, etc. The ordering agency must ensure all GSA GWAC

Contractors are registered and listed whenever using other channels of

communication.

Contractors shall ensure their points of contact are current and accurate in

the above Government systems. The OCO may directly contact the GWAC

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Program, at All[email protected], whenever the Contractor’s email address is

returned as UNDELIVERABLE.

G.14.1 Electronic Communications

The Contractor shall establish a shared GSA GWAC electronic mailbox for

receipt of communications from the GSA GWAC Program that is distinct and

separate from an individual’s email address. The electronic mailbox name

must include “Alliant2@”, e.g. Alliant2@xyzcorp.com. The only characters

prior to the “@” shall be “Alliant2”. The shared Contractor email address is

due to the GWAC Program by the date specified in Section F.7.

The shared Contractor’s GSA GWAC email address will reduce the need to

update government systems due to Contractor’s personnel replacement

changes throughout the term of the Master Contract.

G.15 GSA CLIENT AGENCY TASK ORDER ORDERING

PROCEDURES

Only the delegated OCO may issue Task Orders to the Contractor, providing

specific authorization or direction to perform work within the scope of the

contract as specified in Section C, Statement of Work. The focus of this

contract is to provide to government agencies a mechanism for streamlined

ordering of IT solutions and services at fair and reasonable prices.

Unless specifically authorized by the OCO, the Contractor shall not

commence work until a fully executed Task Order has been awarded.

Contractors should avoid unauthorized commitments as ratification is highly

discouraged and never assured.

The following information is provided to the Contractor for their awareness

and is specified in the agency ordering guide outside of this Master Contract:

G.15.1 Ordering Regulations

Ordering regulations are those delineated in Federal Acquisition Regulation

(FAR) 16.505. Additional contractual requirements are as follows:

(a) The principle purpose of any GSA GWAC Task Order must be for IT

Services and may not exclusively be for product/commodity

purchases. The Contractor shall not accept Delivery Orders that are

exclusively for Products/Commodities.

(b) Task Orders (including a Task Order’s sub-tasks) under the Simplified

Acquisition Threshold (SAT) should not to be placed on this Master

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Contract unless there are legitimate reasons to do so, such as for a short

Extension of Services.

Delivery Orders in the FPDS. Exercise of Task Order option(s) or sub

task(s) shall be performed by modification to the subject Order. If OCO’s

require the issuance of subordinate Orders due to system limitations (i.e.,

annual options, funding, etc.), each subordinate Orders shall identify/link

to the initial Task Order award and FPDS annotated.

(d) The Contractor responding to Cost Reimbursement types of Task Orders

shall provide status of whether they have or do not have an

Adequate/Approved Cost Accounting System (CAS), and if the Contractor

has a CAS, include the DCAA and DCMA point of contact. Evidence of an

Adequate/Approved CAS should be provided to the OCO as part of their

Task Order proposal submission. Otherwise, the Contractor must have

their CAS deemed as Adequate/Approved by DCAA/DCMA or a CFA at

time of Task Order award.

(e) The Contractor shall ensure the DUNS/CAGE number assigned to the

covered Master Contract shall be consistent for Orders issued under the

Master Contract.

G.16 FAIR OPPORTUNITY

OCOs are required to follow the Fair Opportunity procedures specified in

FAR 16.505(b)(1) and the exceptions to Fair Opportunity in FAR 16.505(b)(2).

Use of Exception (d) “...to satisfy a minimum guarantee” requires approval by

the Master Contract PCO.

Task Orders resulting from an exception to fair opportunity will be reviewed

by the PCO/ACO for possible gaps in the information technology or lack of

capacity within the pool of awarded contractors that might inhibit adequate

competition for similar requirements in the future. Based on any identifiable

IT gaps found by the Government, an Open Season might be necessary to

introduce new IT contractors to the GWAC pool if in the best interest of the

Government.

G.17 ORDER INFORMATION

Orders shall include, but not be limited, to the following:

(a) Date of Order;

(b) Contract Number and Order Number;

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

(d) Contract Line Item Numbers; Travel (if any), Materials (if any);

(i) Accounting and appropriation data; and

(j) Method of payment and payment office.

G.18 INVOICE SUBMISSION AND REPORTING

APPLICABLE TO TASK ORDERS

The Contractor shall accept payment of agency invoices via EFT. The Task

Ordering Agency is responsible for payment of all invoices to the Contractor.

Invoice submission information will be contained in each individual awarded

Task Order. The payment office designated in the individually awarded Task

Order document will make payment of those invoices to the Contractor. The

GWAC Program is never responsible for payment of Task Order Invoices.

Bills for final payment for last performance month must be identified and

submitted when tasks have been completed and no further charges are to be

incurred, excluding rate adjustments. The final payment for last performance

month must be submitted to the ordering agency within 6 months of Task

Order completion.

If indirect rate adjustments, e.g., resulting from incurred costs audits, are

completed and/or received after the Master Contract closeout date, no

additional CAF adjustments shall be reported or applied to the Task

Order(s).

If during any respective month(s), the Contractor doesn't report a Paid

Invoice on an active Task Order, the Contractor must report a Zero invoice

for that Task Order so GSA will know there will be no CAF expected for the

month.

G.19 CONTRACTOR PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT

REPORTING SYSTEM (CPARS)

Past performance information is relevant for future Task Order and Contract

source selection purposes. It includes, but is not limited to, the Contractor’s

record of conforming to contract requirements and to standards of good

workmanship; the Contractor’s adherence to contract schedules, including the

administrative aspects of performance; the Contractor’s history of reasonable

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and

generally, the Contractor’s business-like concern for the interests of the

customer.

Contractors may review and respond to Master Contract and Task Order

performance assessments via the CPARS (see J-8 Attachment Website

References) or other systems designated by the Ordering Contracting

Officer. Past performance evaluations pertaining to the Master Contract and

Orders under the Master Contract will reside in the Past Performance

Information Retrieval System (see Attachment J-8 Website References). The

PPIRS functions as the central warehouse for performance assessment

reports received from various Federal performance information collection

systems.

G.19.1 Master Contract Performance Assessments

The GSA GWAC ACO will conduct annual interim performance assessment

within the Master Contract Base and Option Periods, and a final

performance assessment as part of the Master Contract closeout process.

Performance assessments for the GSA Master Contract are limited to the

evaluation of GWAC Performance Based Acquisition (PBA) requirements,

including Contractor Engagement and Small Business Subcontracting. Other

elements of CPARS evaluation the Government may include in a Master

Contract CPARS are the Contractor's compliance to administrative

requirements noted throughout Sections G, H, and J Attachments, e.g., timely

CAF submissions, timely reporting of awarded Task Orders and

Modifications, correctly reporting transactional data, updating company

websites, PMR attendance. CPARS elements such as Cost Control, Quality of

services delivered,

and Small Business Subcontracting efforts are typically

evaluated by the Task Order issuing agency in a separate CPARS (See

G.19.2).

In accordance with FAR 42.15 Past Performance Information, Contractor

shall submit comments, rebutting statements, or additional information

within the date specified in Section F.7, from the date of notification of

availability of the past performance evaluation. Copies of the evaluations,

Contractor responses, and review comments, if any, will be retained as part

of the contract file, and may be used to support future award decisions.

Contractors shall review annually their points of contact are current and

accurate in the CPARS.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

G.19.2 Task Order Performance Assessments

The Government will conduct past performance assessments on Contractors

for Task Orders meeting the agencies’ IT project threshold for required

assessment. Interim performance evaluations should be conducted as

prescribed by the Task Order issuing Agency’s procedures on any Task Order

with a period of performance exceeding one year. In the event that an OCO

does not perform an assessment for a qualified Task Order that requires an

assessment every 12 months, the Contractor should request the OCO for an

assessment, or notify the GSA GWAC Program for further assistance. As a

Best Practice, the performing Prime Contractor may voluntarily provide to

the OCO an objective quality write-up to include, at a minimum, scope of

work performed, and timeliness and quality of deliverable and services.

The OCO is aware that the Contractors’ awarded DUNS/CAGE is available

on the GSA GWAC webpage (www.gsa.gov/alliant2) and should be used when

performing their assessment of the Alliant 2 GWAC contractors.

G.20 REPORTING

At pre-determined milestones and at special events in the course of fulfilling

an awarded Task Order, the Contractor must submit to the GSA detailed

reports covering many aspects of their activities

G.20.1 GWAC Data Calls

Contractors shall respond to the following data calls and provide to the

GWAC Program, by the date specified in Section F.7.

1) Task Order Request Participation - Monthly the GSA GWAC Program will

pull data for Awarded Orders, including Protested Orders that may not be

reported in the government designated system, and Contractors shall

confirm which Task Order solicitation resulted in them submitting a

proposal. Additionally, Contractors shall provide Participation

information for awarded Task Orders not listed in the review month,

when applicable.

2) Protests issued under an Awarded Order - The Contractor who filed the

Task Order protest shall email Alliant2@gsa.gov of its filing of the Order

protest. The Contractor who was protested by another contractor under

the Master Contract does not need to notify the GSA for this data call.

This data will be used to determine recurring issues leading to Protest

that can be addressed during OCO training programs. This will result in

providing guidance to federal agency customers on procurement best

practices. The protest information to be provided includes:

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

3) Other Data as Requested by the GSA GWAC Program

G.20.2 GWAC Transactional Data

The Contractor shall register in the government designated system in order

to report transactional data. A prerequisite to registering in the government

designated system is the Contractor must already be registered in the System

for Award Management (SAM). See Attachment J-8 Website References.

The Contractor shall provide the transactional data, outlined in Attachment

J-6, electronically via the government designated system. The Contractor

must adhere to the instruction and definitions for each reported data element

as stated within the government designated system web page. The

Government intends to collect the transactional data hourly labor rates and

post to the Prices Paid portal to be made available to Ordering Contracting

Officers and agency program staff via a separate secured Government portal.

The reporting of data is required for the following items, within the date

specified in Section F.7:

• Invoices

• Zero Invoice (if a Task Order is cited)

• No Transactional Data (if there are no Task Orders)

The Contractor shall convert all currency to U.S. dollars using the “Treasury

Reporting Rates of Exchange,” issued by the U.S. Department of Treasury,

Financial Management Service.

Data Quality is of great importance to the GWAC Program, therefore the

Quality Assurance Evaluators may request from the Contractors corrections

to the government designated system data, if applicable. Contractors shall

correct the government designated system data within the date specified in

Section F.7.

G.20.2.1 Change of GSA Business System(s) during Term of the

Master Contract

The Government may decide to change their business system(s), whether it is

a significant upgrade or a complete replacement of GSA’s current business

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

system after the date of Master Contract award. Should the Government

effect a change, develop or purchase a new system(s) it will be incorporated

into GSA as the required system(s) for reporting transactional data and shall

be adopted by the Contractor. The Contractor will be notified with a no-cost

unilateral Modification to the Master Contract in the event of any

upgrade/replacement of the business system.

G.21 GWAC CONTRACT ACCESS FEE (CAF) AND FEE

REMITTANCE

(a) The CAF is charged against all Task Orders and applied to the total

invoice amount for Contractor performance. Total award value is

inclusive of labor, fees (including award fees and incentive pools), and

ODCs (including travel).

(b) The standard formula is:

Total CAF = Total Invoice Amount * CAF Percentage.

(d) CAF payments are due to GSA/GWAC on or before date specified in

Section F.7 for all reported invoices from the Government in the

previous month.

(e) CAF payments are to be remitted via the government designated

system using Pay.gov secure electronic system. Payments can be made

directly from Contractor’s business bank account. Contractors shall

contact their financial institution/bank to establish an account

authorizing Automated Clearing House (ACH) Direct Debit payments

to Pay.gov via government designated system. If for reasons outside of

human control, e.g., Act of God, where you are not able to remit the

CAF via the government designated system using Pay.Gov, you must

request written permission from GSA to pay CAF outside the

government designated system. This written permission must be

remitted to and approved by the GWAC Program Office.

(f) CAF payment shall not be combined with another GWAC, Schedule, or

any other GSA Contract.

G.22 INDIVIDUAL SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING

PLAN

The US General Services Administration, and Other Federal Agencies given

the GWAC Delegation of Procurement Authority, are committed to ensuring

maximum practicable opportunity is provided to small business concerns to

participate in the performance of this contract consistent with its efficient

performance. GSA expects any individual small business subcontracting plan

submitted pursuant to FAR Clause 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting

Plan, to reflect this commitment. Consequently, an offeror, other than a

small business concern, before being awarded a contract exceeding $700,000,

shall demonstrate that its subcontracting plan represents a creative and

innovative program for involving small, HUBZone, disadvantaged, women-

owned, veteran-owned, and service-disabled veteran owned concerns as

subcontractors in the performance of this contract.

(a) The Individual Small Business Subcontracting Plan is attached hereto

and made a part of this contract (see Attachment J-7 Individual Small

Business Contract Subcontracting Plan) The Contractor shall provide a

signed copy of the Master Contract Individual Small Business

Subcontracting Plan to the cognizant OCO responsible for the

administration of their GWAC Order, whenever requested by the OCO.

(b) The Individual Small Business Subcontracting Plan covers the Base

Period of five (5) years and the option term for an additional five (5)

years.

will be addressed via the Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS).

G.22.1 Minimum Subcontracting Goals

Because of the size, scope, and magnitude of this acquisition, the government

anticipates substantial subcontracting opportunities for small business,

veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small

business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and

women-owned small business concerns. The Contractor shall maintain a

Subcontracting Plan pursuant to FAR Clause 52.219-9, Individual

Subcontracting Plan, in accordance with the Master Contract Section I.2.

related to this Master Contract and shall be submitted semi-annually

till last Task Order completion. The SSR encompasses all Contracts with

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

GSA and is submitted annually. The ISR and SSR shall be submitted

electronically via the Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS) at

www.esrs.gov and must be received within the date specified in Section

F.7, and repeated below:

Calendar Period Report Title Date Due

10/01–03/31 ISR 04/30

04/01–09/30 ISR 10/30

10/01–09/30 SSR 10/30

(e) Reports are due, regardless of whether there has been any

subcontracting activity since contract inception or since time of previous

report submission.

Notes: Individual Subcontracting Reports

The ISR shall reflect the subcontracting dollars on a PAYMENT

basis only. The Payment Basis is the process of capturing subcontract

dollars no sooner than the time a contractor pays the subcontractor’s

invoices. This Payment Basis reporting method must be used for the

entire contract term. Entering subcontracting dollars into the

Government’s Electronic Subcontracting Reporting System (eSRS) on a

Commitment Basis is not permitted. (A Commitment Basis, which is not

allowed for this Master Contract, is the process of capturing subcontract

dollars when the Contractor executes the subcontract award documents).

• The Contractor shall ensure that their entries in the column “Current

Goal: Percentage of Total Subcontract Awards”, is the negotiated

percentages as cited in the Individual Subcontracting Plan goals.

• If the Contractor does not meet the Master Contract Small Business

Subcontracting Goals, they shall provide a succinct description of how

goals will be achieved in the “Remarks” section of the form.

Summary Subcontracting Reports

• If the Contractor is using the Parent DUNS when reporting, the

awardee’s DUNS number shall be cited in the “Remarks” section of the

form, if different than the Parent DUNS.

• The Contractor shall list their entire GSA contract numbers associated

with the reported dollars in the “Remarks” section of the form. Non-

GSA contract numbers shall not be reported with the GSA contract

numbers.

Both Individual Subcontracting Reports and Summary Subcontracting

Reports

• Contractors shall reference the GSA Agency Code 4732.

• Contractors shall include the alliant[email protected]ov email address in

Government Email section of the form.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

G.22.3 Task Order Small Business (SB) Subcontracting Credit for

Ordering Agencies

Until such time the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) permits the socio-

economic subcontracting dollars on Task Orders to be credited to the

Ordering Agency, small business socio-economic dollars will be accumulated

and reported at the Master Contract level. Depending on the outcome of the

anticipated FAR change pursuant to Small Business (SB) regulations at 13

CFR 125.3(h)(3), SBA has decided as a matter of policy that the funding of a

Task Order should receive credit toward its small business subcontracting

goals for a Task Order awarded under another agency's contract. In this

expected eventuality, the Government may require Contractors to provide SB

subcontracting plans and/or SB subcontracting reports (e.g. eSRS—Electronic

Subcontracting Reporting System) at the Task Order level.

G.23 SUBCONTRACTORS

The Government has not pre-approved any subcontractors for issuing

agencies’ resultant Task Order awards for the Master Contract. If a

Contractor proposes a subcontractor for work performed under a Task Order,

the Contractor must comply with FAR 52.244-2 and FAR 44.2. Contractors

will assess their task order work plans to determine whether the projected

subcontracting for the task order will be:

• Supportive of overall accomplishment of goals and commitments in the

subcontracting plan;

• Supportive of general accomplishment of goals and commitments in the

subcontracting plans with certain enumerated exceptions;

• Negatively distracting from the overall goals and commitments in the

subcontracting plans, providing explanation of the reasons for the

shortcomings and explanation for how the contractor believes it can

recover and regain its position of achieving the plans commitments.

Contractors will report their position to the OCO as part of their proposal in

being considered for a task order. The Ordering Contracting Officer (OCO)

will review the Contractor’s notification and supporting data to ensure that

the proposed subcontract is appropriate for the risk involved, and consistent

with current policy and sound business judgment prior to consent to

subcontract.

If the Contractor enters into any subcontract that requires consent under the

clause at FAR 52.244-2, Subcontracts, without obtaining such consent, the

Government is not required to reimburse the Contractor for any costs

incurred under the subcontract prior to the date the Contractor obtains the

required consent. Any reimbursement of subcontract costs incurred prior to

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

the date the consent was obtained shall be at the sole discretion of the

Government.

Annually the GWAC PCO will aggregate each GWAC Contractor's small

business subcontracting dollars as reported in the Electronic Subcontracting

Reporting System, and provide an objective performance rating in the Past

Performance Information System. The OCO is reminded that:

• The GWAC Small Business Subcontracting goals are in Section G.22.1, as

incorporated to the Master Contract;

• May review the Master Contract annual performance assessment in the

Past Performance Information Retrieval System to ascertain whether the

Contractor is meeting one or more of its socio-economic goals outlined in

the Master Contract; and,

• May further review the subcontractor dollars awarded within Task Orders

on-line utilizing the USA Spending advance search application. (See J-8

Website References.)

G.24 MERGERS, ACQUISITIONS, NOVATIONS, AND

CHANGE-OF-NAME AGREEMENTS

The Anti-Assignment of Contracts Act, 41 USC § 15, (Anti-Assignment Act)

prohibits the transfer of any interest in a federal contract to another party

unless an exception applies. Therefore, the Master Contract, standing alone,

is not a commodity that can be bought, sold or assigned to a brokerage firm or

any third-party agent so to arrange transactions between a buyer and a seller

of standalone Government contracts. There are conditions, however, where

the Government may still recognize a successor-in-interest who, due to

certain transfers, is in a position to continue performance in place of the

original party to the Government contract. For example, through a (1)

Novation Agreement where the sale of all Contractor’s assets, or the entire

portion of the assets involved in performing the Master Contract, including

any open Task Orders, has occurred. An Assignment that would otherwise be

considered ineffective, may be given effect via a novation agreement that

substitutes successor-in-interest as the contractor, while requiring that the

original party remain obligated for performance. Another example of an

exception to the Anti-Assignment Act is through (2) Operation of Law, such

as when the Contractor’s interest in the contract is transferred as a result of

a stock purchase or bankruptcy order. These exceptions are further discussed

below:

Novation: The Contractor (Transferor) must always obtain the

Government's consent and approval for a Novation, including the

Government’s approval of the Acquiring Contractor

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

(Transferee). Although the Transferor and the Transferee may have

negotiated their corporate terms and conditions for the terms of

assignment or assumption of responsibilities relating to the

Government Contract, and agreed to execute a Novation Agreement

substantially in conformance with the regulatory requirement, the

Novation is not automatically approved by the Government. There are

no entitlements or guarantees that the Government must or will

consent to any request for Novation.

FAR 42.12 describes the procedures necessary to request that the

Government recognize a successor in interest to a contract. There are

also additional due diligence procedures that GSA may impose,

including an evaluation of the Transferee’s technical capabilities,

accounting systems, relevant past contract performance, financial

capacity, and other Responsibility factors. From the time, the

Government receives a completed Novation package request from the

Transferor, the process might take three to six months or more for the

Government to process the package and provide a decision. The

Contractor must continue to fully perform under the terms and

conditions of the Master Contract throughout the entire period of time

the Novation package awaits a final decision from the Alliant ACO or

PCO. If the GSA determines that the Novation requests is not in the

Government’s best interest, the Contractor shall remain obligated to

perform under the Master Contract. All open Task Orders from the

transferor shall also be Novated to the Master Contract’s transferee

and to no other party.

Operation of Law: With this exception, the Master Contract

continues with the same entity after closing. As an example, the

exception applies for changes in ownership as a result of a stock

purchase, with no legal change in the party to the Government

contract, and when that contracting party remains in control of the

assets and is the party performing the contract. Although Government

consent is not required, other FAR regulations and GSA supplemental

policies require notice of ownership changes to the Government (See

the below paragraph within this section). Furthermore, if the party to

the Government contract desires to have a new stock owner

substituted as a party to the contract, the requirements of a novation

would then apply. There are also other circumstances, such as when

assignment occurs as part of a bankruptcy restructuring, where

outright Assignment of the government contract is effected by order of

a court of competent jurisdiction, and authorized by federal law. In

such cases, the Assignment does not violate the Anti-Assignment Act

and the Novation submission requirements are adjusted to reflect the

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

nature of the transfer. Novation in such cases still acts to formally

recognize the successor-in-interest via modification to the contract, and

depending on the operation of law, may be effected without the consent

or agreement of the original contractor. All open Task Orders from the

transferor shall also be assigned to the Master Contract’s transferee

and to no other party.

G.24.1 Contractual Responsibilities: New GSA GWAC Contractor

assigned through an Anti-Assignment Exception

A newly Novated Contractor shall have the same contractual responsibilities

as the transferor had, including but not limited to:

1) Complete documentation of previously awarded open, expired and closed

out Task Orders for purposes of Government’s audit;

2) Assumption of all unresolved expired Task Orders that were not closed

out;

3) Paying any Overdue CAF owed by the acquired Contractor;

4) Acceptance of the previously negotiated acquired contract pricing;

5) Approval of the minimum Master Contract Subcontract socio-economic

goals;

6) Contractor Engagement - Should the new Contractor be assigned via a

Novation, they must comply to the Contractor Engagement PBA

requirements meeting the Participation and Production Standards for the

year the Contractor was assigned onto the Master Contract, as described

in Sections C.7.1 and H.19. However, there is an Acceptable Quality Level

(AQL) that will be provided for a newly Novated Contractor, which will

allow for more than a single contract year to meet Production Standards

for the following contract year and allow for less than the standard three

Participation credits in the contract year the Contractor is Novated. For

example, if the Master Contract assignment is executed in the sixth

month of contract year three, the Contractor shall meet the minimum

cumulative dollar Production Standard required and noted in Attachment

J-5.A for contract year four no later than the end of that contract year

four. Additionally, the Contractor must have a minimum of one

Participation credit for each full third of a contract year (four months) in

the contract year they are officially Novated onto the Master Contract. For

example, if the Novation is executed in the sixth month of contract year

three, then the Contractor is required to have Participated a minimum of

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

one time for that contract year since only one full third of one year

remains in contract year three.

G.24.2 Contractual Responsibilities: New GSA GWAC Contractor

assigned through an Operation of Law Exception

A newly assigned Contractor through an Operation of Law shall have the

same contractual responsibilities as the transferor had, including but not

limited to:

Should the new Contractor be assigned as a result of a bankruptcy, stock

purchase, or a reorganization of the company, they must comply to the

Contractor Engagement PBA requirements meeting the Participation and

Production Standards for the year the Contractor was assigned onto the

Master Contract, as described in Sections C.7.1 and H.19. For example, if

the Master Contract assignment is executed anytime during contract year

three, the Contractor must meet the minimum Participation standard and

the cumulative dollar Production Standard required for contract year

three as noted in Attachment J-5.A.

G.24.3 Contractual Restrictions to any Assignment

Only One Master Contract Permitted during a Single Time Period: The

Contractor, either directly or through its Parent Company/Holding Company,

or any one or more of its affiliates, subsidiaries, business units, joint venture,

or any other types of independent business structures is permitted to hold

only one Master Contract during a single time period. If one or more

additional Master Contracts are acquired by a single Alliant 2 prime

Contractor via merger, acquisition, or otherwise, the Contractor may seek to

be recognized in only one of the existing Alliant 2 GWACs; and the additional

Master Contract shall be terminated for convenience at no cost to the

government. Task Orders from the terminated excess GWAC may be novated

or consolidated to the surviving Alliant 2 GWAC, if so required and

authorized by the GSA GWAC PCO/ACO. The Acquiring Contractor is not

permitted to assign any acquired Master Contract as it is a violation of this

Master Contract. (See subsection Other Contractual Restrictions under

this G.24.3 Section.) There are no restrictions as to how many times during

the term of the Master Contract an assignment can be executed. This

restriction applies to a contractor holding more than one Master Contract at

the same time.

Other Contractual Restrictions: Request for a Novation or Assignment of

Claims will not be considered, processed or approved by the GSA GWAC PCO

or ACO under the following conditions:

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

1) Brokering among Alliant 2 Master Contract’s Contractors: Any request for

Novation from an GSA GWAC Alliant 2 Prime Contractor to Novate or

assign a previously Novated or assigned to the Master Contract. For

example, if GSA GWAC Contractor “A” (transferee #1) is assigned another

Master Contract from Contractor “B” (transferor #1), Contractor “A” is

prohibited from subsequently Novating Contractor’s “B” (transferor #1)

Master Contract to Contractor “C” (transferee #2).

2) Any Novation or Assignment of Claims from Contractors in a

Nonperforming status, as defined in Attachment J-5.A.

3) Any outstanding Contract Access Fee (CAF) owed to the GWAC Program.

(NOTE: CAF owed must be paid by the transferor).

4) Any completed Novation packages submitted to and received by the GSA

GWAC PCO/ACO within 120 days prior to the end of the Master

Contract’s base term during contract year five.

5) Any completed Novation packages submitted to and received by the GSA

GWAC PCO/ACO after the end of contract year six, (72 months after the

Master Contract award date, which is one full contract year after an

Option exercise).

G.24.4 Notice Required for Ownership Changes and Change of Name

Agreements

If a Contractor merges, is acquired, or recognizes a successor in interest to

Government contracts when Contractor assets are transferred; or, recognizes

a change in a Contractor’s name; or, executes Novation agreements and

change-of-name agreements by any Government Contracting Officer other

than the GSA GWAC PCO/ACO, the Contractor must notify the GSA GWAC

PCO/ACO and provide a copy of the Novation or any other agreement that

changes the status of the Contractor, including the new DUNS/CAGE code

numbers, within the date specified in Section F.7. The Contractor may not

submit Task Order Proposals under the company's new name until or unless

a Contract Modification has made the change effective on the Master

Contract.

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 FAR Subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the

responsible Contracting Officer written notification of its intention to (A)

change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures

specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide

with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed

name. Notifications for any of the above ownership changes, name changes,

and other company changes in status should be immediately submitted to the

GSA GWAC PCO/ACO as specified in Section F.7.

G.25 ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES AND

REQUIREMENTS

In support of Executive Order 13693, Planning for Federal Sustainability in

the Next Decade; Executive Order 13653, Preparing the United States for the

Impacts of Climate Change; and other applicable statutes, regulations and

Executive Orders, and in recognition that harm to the environment, including

from greenhouse gas pollution and electronic equipment manufacturing and

disposal, has quantifiable costs and negative impacts on the economy and

federal agency operations, it is the Government’s intent to understand and

reduce as far as practicable the environmental impacts of IT services

provided under this contract. Contractor shall provide evidence of ongoing

measurement and reduction of the environmental impacts of services

provided, including but not limited to, use of energy and nonrenewable

resources and emissions of carbon pollution, via annual Sustainable Practices

and Impact Disclosures.

The Sustainable Practices and Impact Disclosures shall be submitted online

using any of the systems listed below. These online reporting portals provide

efficient means for contractors to share standardized Disclosures with

the delegated GWAC Ordering Contracting Officers.

(a) Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) www.cdp.net

(b) Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) sustainability report posted to GRI

Sustainability Disclosure Database). www.globalreporting.org

GWAC web site.

Not all individual content specified in the CDP and/or GRI reporting systems

is required by GSA. Detailed content required by GSA is specified under

Milestone Deliverables below. Greenhouse gas inventories required under the

Milestone Deliverables shall be prepared in accordance with the World

Resources Institute/World Business Council for Sustainable Development

Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard, ISO

14064 standard, or similar GHG reporting standard.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

Within 12 months of the Master Contract Notice to Proceed, the contractor

shall submit online its corporate-wide Sustainable Practices and Impact

Disclosures, and provide notification to the GWAC Program at

Alliant2@gsa.gov as to when the disclosure was submitted and the online

reporting option used. Thereafter the Contractor shall update the Disclosure

annually until the expiration of the Master Contract.

The value of the above disclosures is the methodical identification,

quantification and management of use of energy and nonrenewable

resources, emissions of pollutants, and opportunities to save money by

improving contractor’s energy efficiency and other aspects of corporate

operations. GSA will review the Disclosures, and work with the Contractors

to assist them in their identification of environmental and sustainability

measures that best address GSA’s environmental and climate change

initiative goals.

The Contractor shall meet the following milestones with regard to contents of

the annual Sustainable Practices and Impact Disclosures:

1) Within 12 months after the Notice to Proceed - initially filed

Disclosures and all future Disclosures must be publicly available

online via Contractor or third-party Web site

2) Within 12 months after initially filed Disclosures - Disclosures must

include a complete Greenhouse Gas (GHG) inventory

3) Within 24 months after initially filed Disclosures - Disclosures must

include a GHG reduction target(s) (either for reduction of absolute

annual quantity of greenhouse gas emissions, and/or for reduction of

“carbon intensity” i.e., reduction of carbon footprint per activity

measure such as sales, number of employees, square feet of facilities,

etc.)

4) Within 36 months after initially filed Disclosures - Disclosures must

report on progress towards meeting the GHG reduction target(s), and

as specified in Section F.7.

GHG inventories and targets referenced above must include Scope 1 and 2

GHG emissions. Inclusion of Scope 3 emissions categories is encouraged but

not required. The Government will accept a disclosure from the Contractor's

parent company in satisfaction of Milestone 1. For Milestones 2 and beyond,

GSA will continue to accept a disclosure from the Contractor's parent

company as long as the parent company's GHG emissions inventory

boundaries (financial and geographic) include activities the Contractor

performs under the GSA GWAC Task Orders. The Contractor shall be

evaluated in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System

(CPARS) on its compliance to timely submission of the Sustainable Practices

and Impact Disclosures and milestone deliverables.

G.26 TASK ORDER CLOSEOUT

The OCO is responsible for closing out individual Task Orders under the

Master Contract. The Contractor agrees to cooperate with the OCO to close

out Orders as soon as practical after expiration, cancellation or termination

of each Task Order. In the event the Contractor cannot locate the current

OCO to close out the Task Order, the Contractor may request assistance from

the GSA GWAC Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) to locate an

ordering agency representative to close out the Orders.

Task Order closeout will be accomplished within the guidelines set forth

in: FAR Part 4 Administrative Matters and FAR Part 42 Contract

Administration and Audit Services. The Contractor will be evaluated in the

CPARS for their efforts to support timely closeout.

OCOs are encouraged to utilize FAR 42.708, Quick-Closeout Procedures to

the maximum extent practicable.

The OCO has the authority to negotiate settlement of indirect costs in

advance of the determination of final indirect cost rates if the Order is

physically complete and the amount of unsettled indirect cost to be allocated

to the Order is relatively insignificant (See FAR 42.708(a)(2)).

The Contractor shall make a good faith effort to expedite DCMA audits. Any

individual Task Order with obligated funding may be unilaterally deobligated

and closed after six years and three months by the OCO. Any valid final

invoice with indirect rate adjustments after six years and three months from

the end of the period of performance shall be submitted to the OCO as a

claim.

G.26.1 Expired Task Order Verification/Validation

The Contractor shall verify that all data elements have been reported and

validated within the GWAC Program designated reporting system The

Contractor shall verify that all data elements for each expired Task Order

has been reported and validated in the Government Designated System

within the time specified in Section F.7 within the time specified in Section

F.7.

G.27 MASTER CONTRACT CLOSEOUT

The GSA GWAC Program intends to close out the Master Contract within 18

months of final Task Order expiration, and without waiting for the OCO to

issue closeout modifications to their respective Task Orders, subject to the

following conditions: (1) all of the Contractor’s Task Orders are physically

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION G - CONTRACT ADMINISTRATION DATA

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

complete; (2) no further claims against the GSA GWAC Program; and (3) the

GWAC Program has determined that the Contractor has adequately met its

CAF payment commitment. Task Order awards and obligations reported in

the GSA government designated system will be compared to records found in

the Federal Procurement Database System, and other available government

systems. The GSA GWAC Program will review periodically the overpayment/

underpayment of the Contract Access Fee from expired Task Orders and

reconcile any discrepancies with the Contractors in advance of the Master

Contract closeout. As requested by the Program Office, Contractors shall

insure corrections to Order, Invoice and CAF Data is accomplished with the

date specified in Section F.7.

Upon mutual agreement by both the Government and the Contractor,

entitlement to any residual dollar amount of $1,000 or less at the time of

final contract closeout may be waived. "Residual dollar amount" means

money owed to either party at the end of the contract and as a result of the

contract, excluding liabilities relating to taxation or a violation of law or

regulation. In determining a residual dollar amount, the Government and

the Contractor may agree to consider offsets to the extent consistent with law

and regulation.

Any and all Contractor claims at the Master Contract level against the GSA

GWAC Program shall be submitted, in writing, to the Procuring Contracting

Officer (PCO) for a decision within 1 year after accrual of the claim(s) or 6

months after the Contractor's final Task Order is physically completed,

whichever occurs first. Furthermore, the Contractor shall pursue any claims

it may have at the Order level through the ordering activity and not with the

GSA GWAC Program. If no claim is submitted in this specified time frame,

the Contractor shall issue a formal (signed by an agent that is authorized to

represent the Contractor) Master Contract Release of Claim and confirmation

that the Contract Access Fee has been paid for all identified Task Orders, no

later than 30 days after the deadline to submit a claim has elapsed.

H.2 CONGRESSIONAL NOTIFICATION OF GWAC TASK

ORDER AWARDS

Congressional notifications are not issued by GSA at the Master Contract

level for issued Task Orders. There is nothing specific in FAR 16.505

regarding congressional notifications at the Task Order level; however, the

Contractor and Ordering Contracting Officers should be aware that the Task

Order issuing agency may have specific guidance as to reporting on their

Task Order awards. The Task Order is where the actual work is defined,

competed, awarded and funded; hence, the Task Order award may have

congressional interest. For example, if the DoD awards an GWAC Task

Order that meets 1279 reporting criteria, it should be reported per DFARS

205.303 Announcement of contract awards.

H.3 MARKETING

GSA requires the review and approval of any Press/News Releases for Orders

and Master Contracts, Marketing/Promotional Materials and Brochures by a

Contractor that is GSA GWAC related, including information on the

Contractor’s GWAC webpage. The Contractor shall develop and display

company specific GSA GWAC brochures for distribution at trade shows,

conferences, seminars, etc., and distribute printed materials to enhance

awareness of the GSA GWAC. The GWAC Program will periodically

provide the GWAC Sales Training. It is highly recommended that the

Contractor’s Business Development, Marketing & Sales, and Capture

Management personnel attend these training programs.

All marketing, promotional materials, and news releases in connection with

the GSA GWAC or Task Order awards under the GSA GWAC, including

information on the Contractor’s GSA GWAC web page, may be co-branded

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

with marks owned or licensed by the Contractor and GSA, as long as the

Contractor complies with GSAM 552.203-71, Restriction on Advertising, and

in the case of GSA’s logo must comply with GSA Star Mark logo policy (See

Attachment J-8 Website References). Contractors shall ensure these

guidelines are adhered to by its subcontractors.

The Prime Contractor shall not permit the marketing of their Master

Contract on its subcontractor webpages that purports to, has the appearance

of, or misrepresents itself to be a GSA GWAC approved teaming

partner/subcontractor, when this arrangement has not been approved by the

GWAC Contracting Officer. Per Section G.23, the Government had not pre-

approved any subcontractors for the Master Contract. Subcontractor

information may reside on the Prime Contractor’s Alliant webpage for

purposes of marketing and customer awareness.

H.4 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST

The guidelines and procedures of FAR 9.5 will be used in identifying and

resolving any issues of organizational conflict of interest at the Order level.

In the event that an Order requires activity that would create an actual or

potential conflict of interest, the Contractor shall identify the potential or

actual conflict to the OCO for review per FAR 9.5.

H.5 PERMITS

Except as otherwise provided in an individual Order, the Contractor shall,

without direct cost to the Government, be responsible for obtaining any and

all licenses, certifications, authorizations, approvals, and permits; for

complying with any applicable Federal, national, state, and municipal laws,

codes, and regulations; and any applicable foreign work permits,

authorizations, etc., and/or visas in connection with the performance of any

applicable Order issued under the Master Contract.

H.6 SECURITY: REQUIRED IT SECURITY POLICIES AND

REGULATIONS

Contractors entering into an agreement for service to government activities

shall be subject to all ordering activity IT security standards, policies,

reporting requirements, and government wide laws or regulations applicable

to the protection of government wide information security.

The Contractor acknowledges and affirms by their signed acceptance of this

Master Contract they will abide by all required IT security indicated

throughout this Master Contract and federal statutes, regulations, executive

H.7.2 Task Order Subcontractors IT Security Guidelines, if

applicable

The Contractor and its Subcontractors, if any, shall expressly insert the

substance of this Master Contract for their agency-specific IT security

guidelines into all GWAC Task Order Subcontractor agreements/contracts

who are providing any IT goods or services, including all levels of

Subcontractor tiers.

H.8 SECURITY: SECURITY CLEARANCES

The Master contract’s pre-established labor categories and associated

Maximum Rates cover work at the classified Secret level.

Individual Task Orders may require higher level security clearances. Only

those Offerors that meet the required security clearance levels on individual

Orders shall be able to compete for Task Orders requiring security

clearance(s). When classified work is required on an individual Task Order,

the Contract Security Classification Specification, (DD Form 254 or agency

equivalent) will be issued to the Contractor by the requiring agency.

The Contractor is responsible for providing personnel with appropriate

security clearances to ensure compliance with Government security

regulations, as specified on individual Orders. The Contractor shall fully

cooperate on all security checks and investigations by furnishing requested

information to verify the Contractor employee's trustworthiness and

suitability for the position. Clearances may require Special Background

Investigations (SBI), Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI) access or

Special Access Programs (SAP), or agency-specific access, such as a Q

clearance or clearance for restricted data.

H.9 SECURITY: HOMELAND SECURITY PRESIDENTIAL

DIRECTIVES-12 (HSPD-12)

The Contractor shall comply with agency personal identity verification

procedures identified in individual Orders that implement Homeland

Security Presidential Directives-12 (HSPD-12); OMB guidance M-05-24;

Federal Information Processing Standards Publication (FIPS PUB) number

201; and GSA HSPD-12, Personal Identity Verification- I, Standard

Operating Procedure (SOP). The Master Contract’s pre-established labor

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

104

categories and associated T&M ceiling prices cover work at the Secret level,

which may obviate the need for additional HSPD-12 coverage and/or expense

– a matter OCOs can determine for each Task Order opportunity.

Contractors should look to Task Order solicitations for guidance on whether

or not the customer agency will pay for the HSPD-12 investigation or if the

contractor is expected to pay the cost of the investigation. OCOs may require

contractor personnel to be HSPD-12 compliant as a condition of order award.

The Contractor shall insert the above paragraph in all subcontracts when the

subcontractor is required to have physical access to a federally controlled

facility or access to a Federal information system.

H.10 CONTRACTOR TRAINING

The Contractor is generally expected to maintain the professional

qualifications and certifications of its personnel through ongoing training.

Unless specifically authorized in an individual Order, the Contractor shall

not directly bill the Government for any training.

Mandatory Training

Contractor employees that are engaged in any programmatic reporting

capacity with the GWAC Program shall within 90 days of involvement

meet the following:

• All contractor employees having access to the GSA government

designated system shall review and understand the various online

government designated system video tutorials contained in the

government designated system’s Training Module at a website

noted in Attachment J-8.

H.11 GOVERNMENT PROPERTY

Any equipment, property, or facilities furnished by the Government or any

Contractor-acquired property must be specified on individual Orders and

follow the policies and procedures of FAR Part 45, Government Property, for

providing Government property to Contractors, Contractors’ use and

management of Government property, and reporting, redistributing, and

disposing of Contractor inventory.

H.12 LEASING OF REAL AND PERSONAL PROPERTY

The Government contemplates that leases may be part of a solution offered

by a Contractor, but the Government, where the Offeror’s solution includes

leasing, will not be the Lessee. Under no circumstances on any Task Order

issued under this Master Contract shall:

(a) The Government be deemed to have privity-of-contract with the

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

105

owner/lessor of the leased items; or

(b) The Government be held liable for early termination/cancellation damages

if the Government decides not to exercise an Option period under an Order

unless the Contractor has specifically disclosed the amount of such damages

(or the formula by which such damages would be calculated) as part of its

proposal and the OCO for the Order has specifically approved/allowed such

damages as part of the Award. The Master Contract strictly prohibits the

use of lease-like payment arrangements, which purport to permit the

Government to receive delivery of items and then pay for the full cost of the

items over time, even if such arrangements are not technically a lease

transaction because the Government is not the lessee.

H.13 ELECTRONIC AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY

ACCESSIBILITY

Pursuant to Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. 794d), as

amended by the Workforce Investment Act of 1998, all electronic and

information technology (EIT) products and services developed, acquired,

maintained, or used under Task Orders issued against the contract must

comply with the "Electronic and Information Technology Accessibility

Provisions" set forth by the Architectural and Transportation Barriers

Compliance Board (also referred to as the "Access Board") in 36 CFR part

1194.

The offeror must reference the Section 508 technical standards below as a

resource for meeting compliance of deliverables:

1194.21 Software applications and operating systems

1194.22 Web-based Intranet and Internet Information and Applications

1194.23 Telecommunications Products

1194.24 Video and multimedia products

1194.25 Self-contained, closed products

1194.26 Desktop and portable computers

1194.31 Functional Performance Criteria

1194.41 Information, Documentation and Support

The Offeror must comply with all required Federal or agency standards,

including providing a Voluntary Product Accessibility Template (VAT) or

Government Product and Services Accessibility Template (GPAT), as

specified in the scope of work for each Task Order. OCOs have the option to

perform testing and validation of EIT deliverables against any conformance

claim and may include Section 508 compliance as an evaluation factor within

a Task Order.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

106

Information about Section 508 provisions and complete text is available on

the GSA Government-wide Section508 Accessibility Program website. (See

Attachment J.8 Website References).

H.14 INTERNET PROTOCOL VERSION 6 (IPV6)

The Master Contract involves the acquisition of Information Technology (IT)

that uses Internet Protocol (IP) technology. The Contractor agrees that: (1)

all deliverables that involve IT that uses IP (products, services, software, etc.)

comply with IPv6 Standards and interoperate with both IPv6 and IPv4

systems and products; and (2) it has IPv6 technical support for fielded

product management, development, and implementation available. If the

Contractor plans to offer a deliverable that involves IT that is not initially

compliant, the Contractor shall (1) obtain the Task Order Ordering

Contracting Officer's (OCO’s) approval before starting work on the

deliverable; and (2) have IPv6 technical support for fielded product

management, development and implementation available. Should the

Contractor find that the Statement of Work (SOW) or specifications of this

contract do not conform to IPv6 standards, it must notify the Task Order

OCO of such nonconformance and act in accordance with the instructions of

the OCO.

H.15 COST ACCOUNTING STANDARDS (CAS)

The Cost Accounting Standards Board (CASB) is established and operates in

compliance with Public Law 100-679 (41 U.S.C. 422). CASB has the

exclusive authority to make, promulgate, amend, and rescind cost accounting

standards and regulations, including interpretations thereof, designed to

achieve uniformity and consistency in the cost accounting practices governing

measurement, assignment, and allocation of costs to contracts with the

United States Government. Cost Accounting Standards (CAS) promulgated

by CASB are mandatory for use by all executive agencies and by contractors

and subcontractors in estimating, accumulating, and reporting costs in

connection with pricing and administration of, and settlement of disputes

concerning, all negotiated prime contract and subcontract procurements with

the United States Government in excess of the Truth in Negotiations Act

(TINA) threshold, as adjusted for inflation (41 U.S.C. 1908 and 41 U.S.C.

1502(b)(1)(B)), other than contracts or subcontracts that have been exempted

by CASB regulations (48 CFR 9903.201-1(b)). There are currently nineteen

(19) CAS topics which and are listed in 48 Code of Federal Regulation (CFR)

9904 as follows:

1. 9904.401 Cost accounting standard---consistency in estimating,

accumulating and reporting costs

2. 9904.402 Cost accounting standard---consistency in allocating costs

incurred for the same purpose

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

107

3. 9904.403 Allocation of home office expenses to segments

4. 9904.404 Capitalization of tangible assets

5. 9904.405 Accounting for unallowable costs

6. 9904.406 Cost accounting standard---cost accounting period

7. 9904.407 Use of standard costs for direct material and direct labor

8. 9904.408 Accounting for costs of compensated personal absence

9. 9904.409 Cost accounting standard---depreciation of tangible capital

assets

10. 9904.410 Allocation of business unit general and administrative expenses

to final cost objectives

11. 9904.411 Cost accounting standard---accounting for acquisition costs of

material

12. 9904.412 Cost accounting standard for composition and measurement of

pension cost

13. 9904.413 Adjustment and allocation of pension cost

14. 9904.414 Cost accounting standard---cost of money as an element of the

cost of facilities capital

15. 9904.415 Accounting for the cost of deferred compensation

16. 9904.416 Accounting for insurance costs

17. 9904.417 Cost of money as an element of the cost of capital assets under

construction

18. 9904.418 Allocation of direct and indirect costs

19. 9904.420 Accounting for independent research and development costs and

bid and proposal costs

Unless a business entity is exempted under 48 CFR 9903.201-1(b) they are

subject to one of the CAS coverage types delineated in 48 CFR 9903.201-2

depending upon their entity type and or the value of awards held in the

current and preceding accounting periods. Also, a Disclosure Statement (a

written description of a contractor's cost accounting practices and procedures)

is required under given circumstances, which are listed in 48 CFR 9903.202.

H.16 COST ACCOUNTING SYSTEM

A contractor interested in participating in Cost-Reimbursement (CR) type

Task Orders as defined in FAR 16.301-1 will be required to demonstrate that

they have an accounting system that is adequate for determining costs

applicable to the contract by the time the Task Order is awarded. This is an

accounting system that the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), the

Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), or any federal civilian audit

agency has audited and determined adequate for determining costs

applicable to this contract in accordance with FAR 16.301-3(a)(1).

The applicable Task Order can include use of the contractor’s most recent

DCAA-approved provisional indirect billing and actual rates for both direct

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

108

and indirect costs, or if a contractor does not have DCAA-approved rates,

their indirect rates in accordance with FAR Part 31. The fee will be

negotiated for each Task Order consistent with statutory limitations. If the

Task Order type is to be CPAF or CPIF, the fixed portion of fee and the

award portion will be clearly differentiated. Such Task Orders will be subject

to the additional clauses under FAR 16.307. The OCO must determine fair

and reasonable pricing, analyze and negotiate fee for all cost-reimbursement

Task Orders as required under FAR 15.4, Pricing, and FAR 16.3, Cost-

Reimbursement Contracts. The government will reimburse the contractor for

all reasonable, allowable, and allocable costs detailed in FAR 31, Contract

Cost Principles and Procedures.

H.17 COMMERCIAL SOFTWARE AGREEMENTS

The Government understands that commercial software tools will be

purchased in furtherance of this GWAC and subsequent orders, and may be

subject to commercial agreements which may take a variety of forms,

including without limitation, licensing agreements, terms of service,

maintenance agreements, and the like, whether existing, in hard copy or in

an electronic or online format such as "clickwrap" or "browsewrap"

(collectively, "Software Agreements"). The parties acknowledge that 12.212(a)

requires the Government to procure such tools and their associated

documentation under such Software Agreements to the extent such Software

Agreements are consistent with Federal law.

The GSA Senior Procurement Executive issued a class deviation on 31 July

2015 to the GSAR to reconcile federal requirements with the terms of

standard Commercial Supplier Agreements. An objective of the class

deviation is to alleviate costs and delays of negotiating contract terms that

federal purchasers can accept from commercial sources of information

technology. This deviation (Acquisition Letter MV-15-03) is incorporated by

reference into the Master Contract applicable to all Task Orders issued by

GSA Contracting Officers.

H.18 LOGISTICAL SUPPORT PRIVILEGES

As specified on individual Orders, Contractors may be required to provide

logistical support in OCONUS areas. Individual Orders will specify whether

Status of Forces Agreements (SOFAs) for foreign jurisdictions will apply and

will be processed for foreign tax exemption purposes. At the discretion of the

Military Theatre Commander, the Government may provide, but is not

limited to, use of the following:

(a) Military or other U.S. Government Clubs, exchanges, or other non-

appropriated fund organizations;

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

109

(b) Military or other U.S. Government commissary stores;

(d) Utilities and services in accordance with priorities, rates or tariffs

established by military or other U.S. Government agencies;

(e) Military Payment Certificate (MPC), where applicable;

(f) Military or other U.S. Government banking facilities; and

(g) Military or other U.S. Government provided telephones, lines, and

services with direct dialing capability and access to the Defense Switched

Network (DSN), (formerly AUTOVON). The precedence of usage shall be

coincident with the urgency of the requirement and in accordance with

Government and Military regulations.

H.19 CONTRACTOR ENGAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS

BASED UPON TASK ORDER PARTICIPATION AND

PRODUCTION

Performance-based Acquisition Requirements for Contractor

Engagement

As indicated in Section C.7.1 Master Contract Performance Work Statement

(PWS), the Master Contract is a Performance-based Acquisition (PBA) that

includes Contractor Engagement, which is a performance-based requirement

of the Master Contract Scope. Because PBA describes requirements in terms

of Results required, inclusive of Outcomes and Goals, rather than specifying

how the work is to be accomplished, the Government measures and evaluates

Contractor Results, not the Contractor implementation factors that

ultimately might lead to the Government’s desired Outcome.

The Government recognizes that the Contractor’s implementation factors

such as inputs, company resources, activities, tasks undertaken and

processes, and outputs, the level of effort expended and produced, are all

necessary and needed to ultimately achieve the required Results, Outcomes,

and Goals of this Master Contract. Nevertheless, it is exclusively the

Outcomes from Contractor Engagement, which are the PBA PWS

requirements measured by Participation and Production, which critically

determine the Contractor’s success to remaining in an acceptable Performing

status on the Master Contract.

No other Contractor efforts are measured and rated in this critical contract

Contractor Engagement performance requirement. Narrative details and

table-format depictions of the entire Contractor Engagement PBA Program

are incorporated into Attachment J-5 PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

SUMMARY (PRS).

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

110

H.20 VOLUNTARY CANCELLATION OF THE MASTER

CONTRACT PROVISION

If at any point during the Base or Option periods of performance, the

Contractor decides they no longer want to engage in Participation in the

Master Contract for any reason, the Contractor may submit a written

document to the GSA GWAC PCO/ACO requesting a mutual cancellation of

their Master Contract. If the GSA GWAC PCO/ACO accepts the Contractor’s

request, the GSA GWAC PCO/ACO will mutually terminate and cancel the

Master Contract pursuant to FAR 49.109-4, No-cost settlement. Should the

Government accept a Contractor’s request for Voluntary Cancellation who

had been rated at any level within a Performing status as of their last single

year period, there will not be any negative ratings assessed by the

Government on the final CPARS document for the Contractor Engagement

evaluation element. This provision is independent of any other action

permitted under the contract terms and conditions. In all cases, if the Master

Contract is canceled or terminated, the Contractor must continue to fully

perform under any of their active or open Task Order(s) that had been issued

under the Master Contract.

H.21 OPEN SEASON FOR MASTER CONTRACT

An Open Season, as defined for purposes of this Master Contract, is an

unrestricted full and open competitive acquisition conducted under the rules

of FAR Part 15 Contracting by Negotiation. The Open Season provides the

Government the ability to add additional contractors onto the Master

Contract should they consider and determine it to be in their best interest.

Over time, the total number of contractors may fluctuate due to various

reasons including industry consolidation, significant changes in the federal

marketplace, advances in technology, general economic conditions, or other

unforeseen reasons. Recognizing these market variables, GSA intends to

periodically review the total number of contractors and the quality of those

contractors participating in the Task Ordering process, to include the GWAC

Program review of the sole source requirements, and Fair Opportunity

requirements resulting in competitive one-bid responses among other factors

to determine whether it would be in the Government’s best interest to initiate

an Open Season so to add new qualified contractors to the Master Contract.

No set schedule will be established as to when an Open Season will be

considered or implemented, and there is no guarantee that an Open Season

will be executed during the term of the Master Contract.

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

111

H.21.1 Open Season Determinations and Procedures

GSA GWAC PCO Determination for an Open Season: The Government

reserves the unilateral right to determine if and when it would be

appropriate to publicly announce a new open market competition for the

purpose of adding additional contractors to the initially awarded Master

Contract. There are two primary reasons and two primary triggers mentioned

below for when the Government might consider an Open Season. Simply and

solely a reduction of contractors from the number of originally awarded

contractors under the Master Contract will not be the primary reason or the

triggered condition in which the Government will consider an Open Season.

Background of GSA Planning the Master Contract Acquisition: The GSA

GWAC PCO determined that it is in the Government’s best interest

considering the scope and complexity of the contract requirement for there to

be a multiple award preference with an adequate number of qualified and

Participating contractors in a Performing status eligible to continually meet

the Government’s IT services procurement requirements and ensuring

effective competition from agencies’ Task Order RFPs/RFQs. The GSA GWAC

PCO additionally determined that it is also in the Government’s best interest

to procure and maintain an adequate mix of capabilities and resources

available within the pool of contractors so to ensure that the Government’s

integrated IT services requirements would be continually satisfied

throughout the Master Contract’s term.

Conditions and Reasons for Considering and Determining an Open Season

The two primary conditions that may trigger the GSA GWAC PCO to

consider an Open Season are:

1) Inadequate levels of competition, and/or;

2) Deficient levels of required technical capabilities within the mix of

Master Contract contractors, as might be revealed from a high-level of

competitive single-bid Task Order awards for specific information

technology services requirements.

The two primary reasons for determining if an Open Season is in the

Government’s best interest will be:

1) To ensure the ability to maintain competition among the awardees

throughout the period of performance to the federal agencies from the

current pool of contractors, and secondly;

2) To ensure that there is a high-quality mix of resources that contractors

have to perform expected Task Order requirements, FAR

16.504(c)(1)(ii)(A).

Conditions if an Open Season is Determined to be in the Best Interest of the

Government: Should the GSA GWAC PCO determine to re-open the

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

112

solicitation in accordance with Section H.21, the following conditions will

apply:

1) An Open Season notice is published in Federal Business Opportunities

in accordance with FAR Part 5, Publicizing Contract Action.

2) An Open Season solicitation is issued under current Federal

procurement law.

3) The solicitation identifies the total anticipated number of new

contracts that GSA intends to award onto the Master Contract.

4) Any Offeror that meets the eligibility requirements set forth in the

Open Season solicitation may submit a proposal in response to the

solicitation.

5) The award decision under the Open Season solicitation is substantially

based upon the evaluation factors/subfactors as the original

solicitation. GSA reserves the right to update the subfactors within

each evaluation factor to match the current information technologies

(IT) and the IT federal marketplace. Updated subfactors may be used

for Prior Relevant Experience and Leading Edge Technologies (LETs),

Certifications, and other subfactors. For example, LETs relevant

experience criteria and their evaluations might significantly change

based on IT market conditions at the time an Open Season is

considered. Additionally, new LETs, and/or very specific LETs, and/or

a limited number of LETs might be chosen as the new subfactors to

address those specific technologies within the Master Contract’s Scope

of Work that had not been adequately met or effectively competed to

the expectations of requiring federal agencies. Also, relative evaluation

weightings may be readjusted based upon the needs of the current IT

federal marketplace at the time of the Government considering an

Open Season.

6) The terms and conditions of any resulting awards are materially

identical to the existing version of the Master Contract vehicle.

7) The period of performance term for any new awards is coterminous

with the existing term for all other contractors.

8) The Open Season competition is considered a separate and distinct

open procurement; so, any Protests raised during Open Season source

selection will not interfere with any new and/or existing Task Order

requirements from being reviewed, competed, and/or issued with the

GSA ALLIANT 2 UNRESTRICTED GWAC

SECTION H - SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Alliant 2 GWAC Unrestricted Master Contract

113

original or current Contractor awardee pool.

9) New Master Contract awardees resulting from the Open Season

competition will be eligible to compete and submit proposals in

response to any Task Order RFPs/RFQs and accept awards with the

same rights and obligations as any other Contractor once the Open

Season Notice to Proceed is issued by the GSA GWAC PCO at a later

date after contract award.

10) Performance Based Acquisition Standards and metrics for Contractor

Engagement and Small Business Subcontracting will be re-established

exclusively for new Open Season awardees and will be presented in

amended/modified RFP/Master Contact Attachments J-5, J-5.A and J-

5.B within the Open Season solicitation.

H.22 OPTION TERM OF MASTER CONTRACT

The GSA GWAC PCO will determine whether to exercise the Contractor’s

Master Contract’s multi-year Option a minimum of 60 days prior to the end

of the base period. Written notification will be delivered to the Contractor at

that time only if the Government’s intent is to exercise the Option.

Otherwise, the Contractor may not receive any notification at 60 days prior to

the end of the base period if there is no intent to exercise the Option. The

GSA does not guarantee to the Contractor or to any of the awarded

contractors under this Master Contract an exercise of their individual Master

Contract Option.

SECTION I - CONTRACT CLAUSES

I.1 GENERAL

In accordance with FAR 52.301, Solicitation Provisions and Contract Clauses

(Matrix), due to the various combinations for contract provisions/clauses that

may be Optional under an individual Task Order based on the contract type,

statement of work, dollar value, and other specific customer agency

requirements, the Master Contract cannot predetermine all the contract

provisions/clauses for future individual Task Orders. However, all Applicable

and Required provisions/clauses set forth in FAR 52.301 automatically flow

down to all Task Orders, based on their specific contract type, statement of

work, and dollar value.

All Applicable and Required provisions/clauses that automatically flow down

to Task Orders shall remain unchanged. If a future Applicable or Required

provision(s)/clause(s) are to the benefit of future Task Orders solicited under

the Master Contract, the future Applicable or Required provision/clause may

be updated and Effective Date under a bi-lateral modification to the Master

Contract.

The OCO will identify any Optional, and/or Agency-specific provisions/clauses

for each individual Task Order solicitation and subsequent award. The OCO

will provide the provision/clause Number, Title, Date, and fill-in information

(if any), as of the date the Task Order solicitation is issued.

The clauses in Section I.2 apply to Task Orders, as applicable, depending

upon any of the following:

1) the clause prescription for use per FAR 52.101(c),

2) FAR matrix per FAR 52.201(e),

3) the contract type of the Task Order, and

4) as specifically cited in the Task Order

Ordering Contracting Officers may include additional clauses in Task Orders,

such as:

1) optional FAR clauses,

2) agency alternate and supplemental clauses,

3) alternate FAR clauses, and

4) Task Order-specific clauses

Additional clauses are not limited to those associated only with Section I of

the Uniform Contract Format in FAR 52.3.

applicable by the OCO.

I.1.1 DOD Agency-specific Required Provisions and Clauses

For Department of Defense (DoD) Task Orders issued under this Master

Contract, provisions and clauses from the DoD FAR Supplement (DFARS)

have been incorporated into the Master Contract Section J, Attachment J-1

DoD Required Provisions and Clauses. If applicable, these will flow down to

the Task Order level. The required provisions and clauses are updated

through the version date indicated on the J-1 attachment. Alternate and

supplemental provisions and clauses from Command-specific and/or DoD

Component levels are not included and may be incorporated by the OCO into

the specific solicitation and subsequent Task Order. The required DoD

provisions and clauses are updated through the Master Contract version date

indicated on the J-1 attachment. Should Attachment J-1 not reflect any

updated DoD provision or clause at the time of Task Order solicitation or

award, the OCOs may insert those required updated provisions or clauses

into their Task Order. Periodically, during the term of the Master Contract,

an update to Attachment J-1 DoD Required Provisions and Clauses may be

executed on the Master Contract via a unilateral contract modification.

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 SAM database to ensure it is

current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does

for a properly executed contractual document.

(2)

(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

paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at

paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly

executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information

meaning of the “Suspension of Payment” paragraph of the electronic

funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT

payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to

reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see FAR

ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be

needed for performance), and the Contractor shall refund the related

performance-based payments in accordance with paragraph (d) of this

clause.

(6) When the Contractor completes all of the obligations under this

contract, including liquidation of all performance-based payments, title

shall vest in the Contractor for all property (or the proceeds thereof) not—

contract and not payable (if the property is part of or needed for

performance), and the Contractor shall refund the related performance-

based payments in accordance with paragraph (d) of this clause.

Contractor’s records and to examine and verify the Contractor’s

performance of this contract for administration of this clause.
