The organization is responsible for cryptographic key management and global distribution of keying material to COMSEC accounts in all the Military Services and many Civil Agencies. Each year during the first week in May, CSLA facilitates the Global INFOSEC Partnership Conference (GIPC) at its headquarters on Fort Huachuca, AZ. The event consists of a training conference and government/industry exhibits relating to the COMSEC, INFOSEC, and IA areas. Historically the event draws over 325 registered attendees, 40 presenters, and 25 government and industry representatives in the exhibits. The training is largely conducted in government owned facilities; alternate local facilities may be considered, if suitable. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: See attached for the PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS). Contractor must be able to meet all specified requirements and describe in the proposal how all those requirements will be met. BASIS FOR AWARD: Award will be made to the offeror that is determined to be technically acceptable and in the best interest of the Government. The Government intends to award without discussions, but retains that right. Evaluation -- Commercial Items (Jan 1999) FAR 52.212-2 (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: (i) Technical: the capability of the Offeror to provide services to meet the Government requirement and all characteristics in the attached PWS to include how they propose to meet the governments requirements and time line; (ii) Price: : proposal includes a breakdown of the required registration fee by attendees and vendors and what expenses those fees will cover to include a reasonable profit percentage. The Government expects each offeror to present a breakdown of all conference related costs and how they will be recouped to include a reasonable profit. For example, the offeror should include, at least, Labor Hours (i.e., by labor category or task) with the total estimated cost for this Direct Labor; Other Direct Costs which should be broken out by the deliverables and defined as to what is included in this category (i.e., printing, notebooks, etc.); a breakdown of the Revenue (i.e., which costs equal or are combined to equal the proposed registration fee and booth fee); and proposed profit percentage. It is up to the offeror to provide sufficient detail for all proposed costs and revenue (fees) for an evaluation by the Government to ensure all costs associated are allowable and allocable. See Appendix D of the PWS for an example of the data the Government is looking for. (iii) Past performance: examples contain information including size of conference, costs, and point of contact (POC), including name and phone number, for Department of Defense and Federal Civilian Agency contracts (see FAR 15.304); Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than price. (b) N/A (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
