Minimum Essential Characteristics. 4.1. Protective Characteristics. 4.1.1 The CPPW shall be capable of providing respiration and percutaneous protection for unmasked, uncontaminated patients for a minimum of six hours after initial exposure to known potential chemical warfare agents that could be employed in vapor, aerosol, liquid, or thickened liquid form. The CPPW fabric, at minimum, must demonstrate resistance to permeation (liquid challenge) for two chemical agents: Soman (GD) and Sulfur Mustard (HD). Vendors must provide test reports or evidence of swatch testing of materials used in the fabrication of their candidate product. Aerosol Vapor Liquid Assessment Group (AVLAG) TOP 8-2-501 references standards for swatch testing of material. The test report must be provided from an independent lab or testing activity. 4.1.2 The upper surface of the CPPW will be water repellent so that the protective characteristics will not be degraded by exposure to moisture such as mist, rain, snow or saltwater spray. The bottom surface/material of the CPPW will be totally impervious to moisture, including liquid chemical agents. 4.1.3 The protective characteristics of the CPPW shall not be degraded when body excreta such as blood, urine and feces are brought into contact with the interior surfaces of the wrap. 4.2. Physical Characteristics. 4.2.1 The CPPW shall be a disposable, expendable item of medical supply and weigh no more than nine pounds in its packaged configuration, excluding the blower system, such as the Powered Air Purifying Respirator (PAPR). The current PAPR system used for this purpose is the C420 Blower and C2A1 Filter Canisters. Rechargeable batteries are required for use with the PAPR. 4.2.2 The CPPW shall be designed and manufactured in one size. It shall be large enough to completely encapsulate military personnel ranging from the 5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male, in accordance with MIL-STD-1472, and bear their weight without ripping or opening during movement. It shall have adequate space at the head to permit the use of a medical non-breathing mask, endotracheal intubation tubes, supraglottic devices, and cricothyroidotomy tubes. 4.2.3 The CPPW shall accommodate patients wearing current Army issue tourniquets, splints, backboard, and junctional hemorrhage control devices. 4.2.4 The CPPW shall be manufactured of materials which will not cause safety or health hazards to patients or using personnel. Vendors must provide safety or health hazard assessments (such as Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)) to indicate their product's assessment in this area. 4.2.5 Design will be such that air and carbon dioxide will be exchanged through the CPPW. Carbon Dioxide buildup shall be less than 3% (by volume) over a 6 hour test period in other than hot climatic regions as defined in Army Regulation (AR) 70-38. The oxygen level shall not fall below 18% (by volume) over the 6 hour test period in other than hot climatic regions as defined in AR 70-38. The hot climatic region is characterized by two daily weather cycles, one representing the highest temperatures likely to be found anywhere in the world and the other representing extremely high dew points. In hot climatic regions the time limit used will be determined during development, using healthy subjects. 4.2.6 A transparent window shall be located at the head-end of the CPPW to allow full head visibility of any size patient (5th percentile female to the 95th percentile male). 4.2.7 The fastening devices of the CPPW shall permit medical personnel easy and quick access to patients. 4.2.8 The CPPW must have an easily accessible, transparent pocket on its upper side. The pocket shall be able to hold a Patient Evacuation Tag (such as a Department of Defense (DD) Form 1380). 4.2.9 The CPPW shall be designed or marked in such a manner to prevent inadvertent reversing of top/bottom and ensure proper use. 4.2.10 The CPPW shall permit a patient to extricate him/herself without extreme effort within a time limit of 1 minute. It is recognized that in some situations the patient's injuries or sedation might make this impossible. 4.2.11 The CPPW shall allow for passage of intravenous/intraosseous infusion devices and respiratory tubing. Passageways should not exceed.59 inches in diameter. Two such passageways are required. 4.2.12 The CPPW shall have some type of carrying handles.

ORGANIZATION CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCI) MITIGATION PLAN The Offeror shall provide an OCI Mitigation Plan (if applicable) as part of its proposal. Offerors are directed to review FAR 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest (OCIs). Please be advised that the Government may not make an award that would result in a prohibited OCI. Therefore, Offerors shall identify in their proposals any and all potential OCI that might result from performing any aspects of the requirement as detailed in the SON and MECs, and include proposed means of preventing, avoiding or mitigating each OCI identified. If no current or potential OCI is identified, then the Offeror shall provide a statement within the proposal indicating that OCI does not exist for this effort. 7. ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS System for Award Management (SAM). Offerors must be registered in the SAM database to be considered for award. Registration is free and can be completed on-line at https://www.sam.gov/portal/public/SAM/; provide DUNS number; Cage Code and Tax Identification Number (TIN #). Offerors are reminded to include a completed copy of 52.212-3 ALT I with RFQ response. All clauses shall be incorporated by reference in the order. Offerors shall complete DFARS 252.209-7992, Representation by Corporations Regarding an Unpaid Delinquent Tax Liability or a Felony Under Any Federal Law-Fiscal Year 2015 Appropriations (Deviation 2015-OO0005) (December 2014). (End of Provision) (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: 1) Technical Acceptability 2) Past Performance 3) Price (b) Basis for Award & Evaluation This will be a Lowest Priced/Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurement. The Government intends to evaluate quotations and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable quotation with the lowest evaluated price. An overall technical rating must be at least "ACCEPTABLE" in order to be eligible for award. An "UNACCEPTABLE" rating, results in the technical quotation being rated "UNACCEPTABLE" unless corrected through discussions. An overall technical rating of "UNACCEPTABLE" makes a quotation ineligible for award. The Government reserves the right to make no award as a result of this solicitation. This requirement is going out as Brand Name Or Equal. An offeror is expected to submit sufficient information in response to the RFQ to allow for the evaluation of his/her quotation. It is the Offerors responsibility to provide information to prove that their item is "Or Equal" to the required Brand. Each of the evaluation factors will be rated as follows: Factor 1 - Technical Acceptability: The Government will evaluate the offeror's capabilities to provide the brand name or Equal as required per Attachment 1. The supplies recommended by the contractor will be evaluated in how they satisfy all of the Government's requirements as outlined in the Statement of Non-Availability (SON) and Minimum Essential Characteristics (MECs). The Offeror's proposal shall include all required documentation detailed in the list below. The following documents shall be submitted as part of the Technical Acceptability factor. Failure to provide the following documents may result in a Technically Unacceptable proposal rating. • Equipment Support Kit Lists. • Equipment Repairable Items List. • Equipment Commercial Service Manual. • Equipment Commercial Operation/Instruction Manual. • Equipment Consumable/Durable Support Items List. • Detailed Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for all materials used in manufacturer and/or production of the CPPW. • Certified report of swatch testing of materiel. Table A-1. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the requirements of the RFQ. Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the requirements of the RFQ. Factor 2 - Past Performance: Offeror's past performance references' questionaires, submitted directly from their references, will be reviewed and considered in assigning a rating. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of demonstrating relevancy, recency, and quality of the past performance rests with the Offeror. Other sources available to the Government include, but are not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS). In the case of an Offeror without a record of recent/relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of Acceptability/Unacceptability, "Unknown" shall be considered "Acceptable." Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror's performance record is unknown. Unacceptable Based on the Offeror's performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. Factor 3 - Price: (all CLINs shall be priced per Attachment 1) Offerors' price proposals will be evaluated to determine whether the price is complete, fair and reasonable. The Government's determination that the proposed price is fair and reasonable will be based on price evaluation and analysis using the techniques in FAR 15.305(1), which provides that comparison of the proposed prices will usually satisfy the requirement for price analysis. (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.

The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that -- (1) The offeror and/or any of its principals ( ___ ) are, ( ___ ) are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency, (2) ( ___ ) Have, ( ___ ) have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; and (3) ( ___ ) Are, ( ___ ) are not presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a Government entity with, commission of any of these offenses enumerated in paragraph (h)(2) of this clause; and (4) ( ___ ) Have, ( ___ ) have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied. (i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply: (A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted. (B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded. (ii) Examples. (A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights. (C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. Sec. 6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment. (D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. 362 (the Bankruptcy Code). (i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).] (1) Listed end products.

(3) If paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause applies- (i) If the offeror does not certify to the conditions in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) and the Contracting Officer did not attach a Service Contract Labor Standards wage determination to the solicitation, the offeror shall notify the Contracting Officer as soon as possible; and (ii) The Contracting Officer may not make an award to the offeror if the offeror fails to execute the certification in paragraph (k)(1) or (k)(2) of this clause or to contact the Contracting Officer as required in paragraph (k)(3)(i) of this clause. (l) Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN) (26 U.S.C. 6109, 31 U.S.C. 7701). (Not applicable if the offeror is required to provide this information to the SAM database to be eligible for award.)

To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. (2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer.

(3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract. (4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through https://www.acquisition.gov. (u) Unauthorized Obligations. (1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern: (i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government. (ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. If the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement is invoked through an ``I agree'' click box or other comparable mechanism (e.g., ``click-wrap'' or ``browse-wrap'' agreements), execution does not bind the Government or any Government authorized end user to such clause. (iii) Any such clause is deemed to be stricken from the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement. (2) Paragraph (u)(1) of this clause does not apply to indemnification by the Government that is expressly authorized by statute and specifically authorized under applicable agency regulations and procedures. (v) Incorporation by reference. The Contractor's representations and certifications, including those completed electronically via the System for Award Management (SAM), are incorporated by reference into the contract.
