The full text of the referenced FAR clauses may be accessed electronically at http://farsite.hill.af.mil/. (a) Definitions. As used in this clause? (1) ?Contract financing payment? and ?invoice payment? have the meanings given in section 32.001 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation. (2) ?Electronic form? means any automated system that transmits information electronically from the initiating system to all affected systems. Facsimile, e-mail, and scanned documents are not acceptable electronic forms for submission of payment requests. However, scanned documents are acceptable when they are part of a submission of a payment request made using Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF) or another electronic form authorized by the Contracting Officer. (3) ?Payment request? means any request for contract financing payment or invoice payment submitted by the Contractor under this contract. (b) Except as provided in paragraph (c) of this clause, the Contractor shall submit payment requests and receiving reports using WAWF, in one of the following electronic formats that WAWF accepts: Electronic Data Interchange, Secure File Transfer Protocol, or World Wide Web input. Information regarding WAWF is available on the Internet at https://wawf.eb.mil/. (c) The Contractor may submit a payment request and receiving report using other than WAWF only when? (1) The Contracting Officer authorizes use of another electronic form. With such an authorization, the Contractor and the Contracting Officer shall agree to a plan, which shall include a timeline, specifying when the Contractor will transfer to WAWF; (2) DoD is unable to receive a payment request or provide acceptance in electronic form; (3) The Contracting Officer administering the contract for payment has determined, in writing, that electronic submission would be unduly burdensome to the Contractor. In such cases, the Contractor shall include a copy of the Contracting Officer?s determination with each request for payment; or (4) DoD makes payment for commercial transportation services provided under a Government rate tender or a contract for transportation services using a DoD-approved electronic third party payment system or other exempted vendor payment/invoicing system (e.g., PowerTrack, Transportation Financial Management System, and Cargo and Billing System). (d) The Contractor shall submit any non-electronic payment requests using the method or methods specified in Section G of the contract. (e) In addition to the requirements of this clause, the Contractor shall meet the requirements of the appropriate payment clauses in this contract when submitting payment requests. If you have complaints about this procurement, it is preferable that you first attempt to resolve those concerns with the responsible contracting officer. However, you can also protest to Headquarters, AMC. The HQ, AMC-Level Protest Program is intended to encourage interested parties to seek resolution of their concerns within AMC as an Alternative Dispute Resolution forum, rather than filing a protest with the Government Accountability Office or other external forum. Contract award or performance is suspended during the protest to the same extent, and within the same time periods, as if filed at the GAO. The AMC protest decision goal is to resolve protests within 20 working days from filing. To be timely, protests must be filed within the periods specified in FAR 33.10. If you want to file a protest under the AMC-Level Protest Program, the protest must request resolution under that program and be sent to the address below. All other agency-level protests should be sent to the contracting officer for resolution.

If internet access is not available, contact the contracting officer or HQ, AMC to obtain the AMC-Level Protest Procedures. Fort George G. Meade (FGGM) has implemented an Environmental Management System (EMS) to proactively manage the environmental impacts of its processes, activities, and services in accordance with Executive Order 13423. FGGM uses the ISO 14001:2004 as the standard for its EMS. All personnel performing work for or on behalf of FGGM must read and comply with FGGM?s Environmental Policy. FGGM offers EMS General Awareness Training on its public web site (http://www.fortmeade-ems.org/. All contractors and their employees including subcontract employees working on Fort Meade are required to view EMS General Awareness Training and be aware of their roles and responsibilities with regard to the EMS and how these requirements affect the work performed under the contract. Contractors are also responsible for ensuring all subcontractors hired on their behalf receive EMS General Awareness Training. The contractor is also responsible to ensure that all goods and services used by the contractor or any of its subcontractors do not deviate from the installation Environmental Policy, objectives and targets of the EMS. In the event of non-compliance with FGGM?s legal or other requirements, or non-conformance with the installation EMS, the contractor is required to take immediate corrective action, perform a root-cause analysis of the non-compliance/non-conformance and develop a preventive action to keep the non-compliance/non-conformance from recurring at no cost to the Government. For more information regarding EMS requirements, contact DPW-Environmental Division at 301-677-9648. Fort Meade Environmental Management System shall include measurable environmental goals, objectives and targets that are reviewed and updated annually. The Contracting Officer Representative is responsible to advise the Contractor of these environmental goals, objectives and targets, and inspect for compliance. It is not the responsibility of the Contractor to develop environmental goals, objectives and/or targets. The Contractor shall be responsible for complying with Fort Meade?s environmental goals, objectives and targets effective the date of contract award. The Contractor shall not be responsible for Environment goals implemented after contract award unless agreed to in a bi-lateral modification. (a) Pursuant to Department of Defense Instruction Number 2000.16, ?DoD Antiterrorism (AT) Standards,? dated October 2, 2006, each contractor employee requiring access to a Federally-controlled installation, facility and/or Federally-controlled information system(s) shall complete Level I AT Awareness Training on an annual basis and receive a certificate of completion. The training is accessible from any computer and is available at https://atlevel1.dtic.mil/at/. The contractor is responsible for ensuring that all applicable employees have completed antiterrorism awareness training and shall certify that their workforce has completed the training through the submission of completion certificate(s) to the Contracting Officer and the Contracting Officer?s Representative (if appointed) within five working days after contract award or prior to access to a Federally-controlled installation or information system. (b) In the event that the automated system at https://atlevel1.dtic.mil/at/ is not available (e.g., server problems), Level I AT Awareness Training can be provided by a qualified instructor. However, if the training is not completed online, the Level I AT Awareness Instructor qualification must be coordinated with the Installation Antiterrorism Officer (or Installation Security equivalent) and the resultant name(s) of approved instructors shall be provided the contracting officer or designee along with all associated cost or schedule impacts to the contract. (c) Antiterrorism performance (Level I AT Awareness Training attendance and compliance) may be documented as a performance metric under the resultant contract, and be part of past performance information in support of future source selections. (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: lowest price technically acceptable based on the line item technical description. Market research indicates that NAICS codes 811212, Computer and Office Machine Repair and Maintenance best describes the nature of the product being acquired. FAR 52.219-6, Notice of Total Small Business Set-Aside a) Definition. ?Small business concern,? as used in this clause, means a concern, including its affiliates, that is independently owned and operated, not dominant in the field of operation in which it is bidding on Government contracts, and qualified as a small business under the size standards in this solicitation. (b) Applicability. This clause applies only to-- (1) Contracts that have been totally set aside or reserved for small business concerns; and (2) Orders set aside for small business concerns under multiple-award contracts as described in 8.405-5 and 16.505(b)(2)(i)(F).* (c) General. (1) Offers are solicited only from small business concerns. Offers received from concerns that are not small business concerns shall be considered nonresponsive and will be rejected. (2) Any award resulting from this solicitation will be made to a small business concern. (d) Agreement. A small business concern submitting an offer in its own name shall furnish, in performing the contract, only end items manufactured or produced by small business concerns in the United States or its outlying areas. If this procurement is processed under simplified acquisition procedures and the total amount of this contract does not exceed $25,000, a small business concern may furnish the product of any domestic firm. This paragraph does not apply to construction or service contracts. In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), ?The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror?s initial offer should contain the offeror?s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.?
