Pricing shall include training, delivery and installation. The following factors which are of equal importance and shall be used to evaluate quotes: (1) technical acceptability and (2) price. This evaluation shall be based on information provided by the contractor. The Government is not responsible for locating or securing any information, which is not identified in the Capabilities Statement or quotation, but may do so at its discretion. Please carefully review the commercial item FAR clauses for information about requirements and instructions for submitting a quotation. Capabilities Statements that do not include prices for all items will not be considered. The following provisions and clauses apply to this procurement: Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offeror- Commercial Items (JAN 2005); FAR provision 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items (JAN 1999) - Award shall be made to the responsible offeror whose offer is considered to be most advantageous to the Government, considering technical acceptability, user training, past performance, and price. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions; therefore, it is critical that each quote be fully responsive. However, the SEC also reserves the right to conduct discussions, if later determined to be necessary, with offerors making the competitive range (i.e., the most highly rated proposals, unless the range is further reduced for the purposes of efficiency). FAR provision 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certification-Commercial Items (MAR 2005) - all offerors shall include a completed copy of this provision with their quote; FAR clause 52-212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions- Commercial Items (OCT 2003); FAR clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required to Implement Statutes or Executive Orders-Commercial Items (JUL 2005) - in paragraph (b) the following clauses apply; 52.203-6 Alternate I, 52.222-3, 52.222-19, 52.222-21, 52.222-26, 52.222-35, 52.222-36, 52.222-37, 52.222-41, 52.222-43, 52.222-44, 52.232-33, 52.232-36, 52.239-1.

Clauses incorporated by reference may be accessed in full text at www.arnet.gov. The lessor/contractor will agree to insert terms that conform substantially to the language of this clause in all contracts/subcontracts. SECURITY REQUIREMENTS - Upon award of the contract, the contractor, primary subcontractor(s), key supervisory personnel, and/or any other contract individuals designated by the FBI, who require access to any FBI information, facility, or property, must accurately complete Standard Form SF-86, "Questionnaire for National Security Positions," (Revision 9/95) and two copies of Form FD-258 (fingerprint card). All other contract individuals must furnish requested biographical information to appropriate FBI personnel and accurately complete FD-816, "Background Data Information Form," Form FD-484 (Privacy Act Acknowledgement), and two copies of Form FD-258 (fingerprint card). These forms and information are to be completed and furnished to the FBI at least 25 workdays prior to the arrival of contract individual to the site of the work under the contract. It is the responsibility of the contractor to ensure all contractor personnel are in full compliance with applicable Immigration and Naturalization Service, U.S. Department of Justice, Employment Eligibility Verification requirements, such as those set forth in Title 8, U.S. Code, Section 274a. A background investigation, the scope of which will be at the discretion of the FBI, will be conducted on these individuals. At the discretion of the FBI, contract individuals may also be interviewed by the FBI (or FBI contract investigators) regarding foreign travel, associates, residences, or other matters of concern to the FBI in deciding whether to grant access to its information, facilities, or property, and may be requested to undergo a polygraph examination to fully resolve any security concerns. Refusal or failure to accurately complete the forms, to be interviewed, or to undergo a polygraph examination to resolve any questionable matters will be deemed reasonable cause for denial of access to FBI information, facilities, or property. Lack of candor may also be a strong factor for denial of access. Access to FBI information, facilities, or property will be granted only where such access is clearly consistent with the mission and responsibilities of the FBI. If for any reason a contract individual is denied access to any FBI information, facility, or property, the FBI will not disclose to the contractor the reason for denial and will only make such disclosure to the affected contractor employee pursuant to the provisions of the Freedom of Information or Privacy Acts. The FBI will not be liable for any expense in the replacement of the individual or any costs incurred by the contractor as a result of such denial. It is the policy of the FBI that these individuals already be employed by the contracting organization/individual (i.e., that the individual's employment not hinge upon an access or security clearance determination by the FBI) and the FBI will assume no liability between the contracting organization and its employees as a result of this procedure. The FBI reserves the right to revoke any contract individual's access to its information, facilities, or property where such access is no longer clearly consistent with the FBI's mission and responsibilities, and the contractor agrees to immediately remove that individual from the work-site under such circumstances. In cases of access revocation, the FBI will inform the individual of the basis for the revocation, unless to do so would reveal classified or sensitive information, and give the individual an opportunity to explain, rebut, or refute such basis in writing. Access will remain revoked pending prompt review of any such submission by the individual. The FBI reserves the right to reinvestigate contract individuals on a periodic basis (usually every five years) or where facts or information indicate the continued access may no longer be clearly consistent with the FBI's mission and responsibilities. The scope of any reinvestigation will be at the sole discretion of the FBI. Refusal or failure to accurately complete any necessary forms, to be interviewed, or to undergo a polygraph examination to resolve any questionable matters during a reinvestigation will be deemed reasonable cause for revocation of access to FBI facilities, information, or property. Appropriate badges may be furnished by the FBI authorizing escorted or unescorted access to FBI facilities and property. The badge, if furnished, will be kept at a location to be determined by the FBI and shall be picked up by the contract individual granted access upon arrival at FBI premises. Consistent with life/safety factors, it shall be worn at all times on the upper part of the body so as to be clearly visible and will be returned to the FBI whenever the wearer leaves FBI premises for any reason or any length of time. The FBI may require all contract and subcontract individuals to execute a security awareness briefing form, FD-835, "Security Acknowledgement Form." Upon request, the contractor will provide, for approval by the FBI, written physical security procedures and policies to be followed by contract individuals for access to the project as well as security measures taken by the contractor to prevent unauthorized entry by contract individuals during off-duty hours. All quotes from responsible sources will be considered. Quotes shall be accepted by email only. Quotes shall be emailed to lmtheisen@fbiacademy.edu no later than 9:00 AM EST, September 6, 2005. No other methods of submission will be accepted.
