Contract award, in this case, means signature of the contractual document by the Contracting Officer and forwarding of the contractual document to the contract awardee. If the contract awardee wishes to make a separate public announcement, the awardee must obtain the approval of the Contracting Officer prior to releasing the announcement, and must plan to make announcement only after the contract has been awarded. PSA209-70 Contractor Performance Capabilities (SEP 2013) The Contractor must be capable of performing all the tasks described in the Statement of Work.

PSA209-71 Contractor's Key Personnel (SEP 2013) (a) In order to ensure a smooth and orderly startup of work, it is essential that the key personnel specified in the Contractor's proposal be available on the effective date of the contract.

(c) Substitute personnel qualifications must be equal to, or greater than, those of the personnel being substituted. If the Government Contracting Officer and the COR determine that the proposed substitute personnel is unacceptable, or that the reduction of effort would be so substantial as to impair the successful performance of the work under the contract, the Contractor may be subject to default action. If deemed necessary by the Government, substitute personnel must be given a one-(1) day orientation by Contractor personnel at no additional cost to the Government and with no change in the delivery schedule. (d) In the event that the performance of assigned Contractor personnel or any substitute(s) is determined by the Government to be unsatisfactory at any time during the life of the Contract, the Government reserves the right to request and receive satisfactory personnel replacement within five (5) calendar days of receipt by the Contractor of written notification. Notification will include the reason for requesting replacement personnel. (e) The Contractor-supplied personnel are employees of the Contractor and under the administrative control and supervision of the Contractor.

(c) The Contracting Officer may terminate this contract for convenience, in whole or in part, if it deems such termination necessary to avoid an OCI. If the Contractor was aware of a potential OCI prior to award or discovered an actual or potential conflict after award and did not disclose or misrepresented relevant information to the Contacting Office, the Government may terminate the contract for default/Cause, debar the Contractor from Government contracting, or pursue such other remedies as may be permitted by law or this contract.

The class will include up to 25 PSA employees, although the Agency reserves the right to include employees from other government agencies. II. Scope This training is to take place at a PSA training facility in September 2014. The training must be a total of 24-hours in length. The final dates and exact hours of the training will be determined upon award of the contract. After having attended this class, participants should be well prepared to answer human development-related questions on a nationally recognized substance use disorder certification exam. III. Training Objectives Goal - The goal is to provide participants with information about the stages of physical, emotional, psychological, social, spiritual, and cognitive development across the human life span.
