SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICE

A.1

SCHEDULE OF ITEMS

This is a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) for fully operated and maintained light fixed wing aircraft services, on a Call-When-Needed (CWN) basis, for the air tactical group supervision mission in behalf of the Northern Rockies Region 1. Aircraft shall meet the requirements of this schedule and the specifications included herein. Offerors shall list each aircraft to be considered for award. Awards will not be made for aircraft not considered suitable for the Government’s need, or at prices determined to be unreasonable.

It is the intent of this solicitation to award multiple Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA’s). These

BOA’s will be for a term of 48 months. The Government will be re-soliciting every 24 months to allow for additional contractors the opportunity to be awarded an agreement. As a part of this process, we will request prices for the next 25 month interval for aircraft already on existing agreements. Award of BOA’s will be made to offerors proposing reasonable prices and submitting technically acceptable proposals. The Government will determine price reasonableness based on historical pricing.

Light Fixed Wing Inspections (carding) — Inspections may take place at the vendor’s facility or host base or at a location agreed to with the Agency Maintenance Inspectors.

A.2

PROPOSED ADDITIONAL AIRCRAFT

Offeror(s) have the option to propose additional aircraft which may be added to this agreement at a later date. These aircraft need not be available or mission ready at the time of award. The following minimum information is needed:

(1)

The make/model/year/tail number of the aircraft.

(2)

The proposed flight rate(s) of the aircraft.

(3)

The proposed daily availability rate(s) of the aircraft.

(4)

Estimated date when resource will be mission ready.

These additional aircraft may be added at the discretion of the Regional Aviation Officer (RAO) and the Contracting Officer (CO) and only by modification of the original agreement. When proposing additional aircraft place an *AA after “item” on the aircraft proposal sheet.

Note: If continuance of this BOA is considered to be in the Government’s best interest, the Government will notify Contractors 30 days prior to the annual renewal that they may revise pricing.

A.3

PROPOSED DAILY AVAILABILITY / AVAILABILITY REDUCTION

Offeror(s) shall propose a daily availability (AV) rate for each proposed aircraft using the table below.

RATING	DEFINITION	NOTE
Exceptional	Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds many to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element being assessed was accomplished with few minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor was highly effective.	To justify an Exceptional rating, identify multiple significant events and state how they were of benefit to the Government. A singular benefit, however, could be of such magnitude that it alone constitutes an Exceptional rating. Also there should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

Very Good	Performance meets contractual requirements and exceeds some to the Government’s benefit. The contractual performance of the element being assessed was accomplished with some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor was effective.	To justify a Very Good rating, identify a significant event and state how it was a benefit to the Government. There should have been no significant weaknesses identified.

Satisfactory	Performance meets contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element being assessed contains some minor problems for which corrective actions taken by the Contractor appear or were satisfactory.	To justify a Satisfactory rating, there should have been only minor problems, or major problems the contractor recovered from without impact to the contract. There should have been NO significant weaknesses identified.

Marginal	Performance does not meet some contractual requirements. The contractual performance of the element being assessed reflects a serious problem for which the Contractor has not yet identified corrective actions. The Contractor’s proposed actions appear only marginally effective or were not fully implemented.	To justify Marginal performance, identify a significant event in each category that the Contractor has trouble overcoming and state how it impacted the Government. A Marginal rating should be supported by referencing the management tool that notified the Contractor of the contractual deficiency. (e.g. quality, schedule, business relations, management of key personnel, safety report or letter)

Unsatisfactory	Performance does not meet most contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The contractual performance of the element contains a serious problem(s) for which the contractor’s corrective actions appear or were ineffective.	To justify an Unsatisfactory rating, identify multiple significant events in each category that the Contractor had trouble overcoming and state how it impacted the Government. A singular problem, however, could be of such serious magnitude that it alone constitutes an unsatisfactory rating. An Unsatisfactory rating should be supported by referencing the management tools used to notify the contractor of the contractual deficiencies (e.g. management, quality, safety, etc.)

Attachment 10 – INFECTIOUS DISEASE MITIGATION PROCEDURES

Infectious Disease Actions and Mitigations

Each contractor and their personnel shall adhere to applicable portions of CDC, FAA, aircraft manufacturer recommendations in addressing actions and mitigations related to infectious diseases. The Forest Service requires that companies review and update their personal protection policies and communicate and train employees on all aspects of the plan. This includes the following measures to protect themselves and others:

Practice routine hand washing. Wash hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, particularly after assisting anyone sick or touching potentially contaminated body fluids or surfaces; after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose; after using the restroom.

ii)

Use alcohol-based hand sanitizer (containing at least 60% alcohol) if soap and water are not available. Contractors should consider providing alcohol-based hand sanitizer to crews for their personal use.

iii)

If an employee becomes sick or has had a high-risk exposure to infectious diseases (COVID-19, Flu, H1N1, SARS, MERS, Etc.) immediately report those situations to the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) and Contracting Officer assigned to your USDA Forest Service contract.

To reduce the risk of transfer of virus from an infected person to others via surfaces or inanimate objects on the aircraft, aircraft operators and ground handling personnel shall develop and implement a plan to disinfect aircraft prior to inspection, and during use. This plan should also include disinfecting after carrying an infected person. The plan needs to take into account the unusual features of the aircraft and cabin area. Considering that it may be difficult to identify an aircraft carrying an infected person, the focus should be on the assumption that all aircraft are periodically occupied by infected persons and therefore require routine and frequent disinfection in accordance with the contractor’s plan. Submit your plan to the CO within 10 days of implementation of this modification.

CONTRACT CLAUSES

Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) for Government use in evaluating past performance as part of a source selection action.

(c) We request that you furnish the Contracting Officer with the name, position title, phone number, and email address for each person designated to have access to your firm’s past performance evaluation(s) for the contract no later than 60 days after award. Each person granted access will have the ability to provide comments in the Contractor portion of the report and state whether or not the Contractor agrees with the evaluation, before returning the report to the Assessing Official. The report information must be protected as source selection sensitive information not releasable to the public.

(d) When your Contractor Representative(s) (Past Performance Points of Contact) are registered in CPARS, they will receive an automatically-generated email with detailed login instructions. Further details, systems requirements, and training information for CPARS are available at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. The CPARS User Manual, registration for On Line Training for Contractor Representatives, and a practice application may be found at this site.

(e) Within 60 days after the end of a performance period, the Contracting Officer will complete an interim or final past performance evaluation and the report will be accessible at http://www.cpars.csd.disa.mil/. Contractor Representatives may then provide comments in response to the evaluation, or return the evaluation without comment.

Comments are limited to the space provided in Block 22. Your comments should focus on objective facts in the Assessing Official’s narrative and should provide your views on the causes and ramifications of the assessed performance. In addition to the ratings and supporting narratives, blocks 1 – 17 should be reviewed for accuracy, as these include key fields that will be used by the Government to identify your firm in future source selection actions.

If you elect not to provide comments, please acknowledge receipt of the evaluation by indicating “No comment” in Block 22, and then signing and dating Block 23 of the form. Without a statement in Block 22, you will be unable to sign and submit the evaluation back to the Government. If you do not sign and submit the CPAR within 60 days, it will automatically be returned to the Government and will be annotated: “The report was delivered/received by the contractor on (date). The contractor neither signed nor offered comment in response to this assessment.” Your response is due within 60 calendar days after receipt of the CPAR.

(f)

The following guidelines apply concerning your use of the past performance evaluation:

(1) Protect the evaluation as “source selection information.” After review, transmit the evaluation by completing and submitting the form through CPARS. If for some reason you are unable to view and/or submit the form through CPARS, contact the Contracting Officer for instructions.

(2) Strictly control access to the evaluation within your organization. Ensure the evaluation is never released to persons or entities outside of your control.

(3) Prohibit the use of or reference to evaluation data for advertising, promotional material, pre-award surveys, responsibility determinations, production readiness reviews, or other similar purposes.
