Upon request by DoD, the Contractor shall provide DoD with access to additional information or equipment that is necessary to conduct a forensic analysis. (g) Cyber incident damage assessment activities. If DoD elects to conduct a damage assessment, the Contracting Officer will request that the Contractor provide all of the damage assessment information gathered in accordance with paragraph (e) of this clause. (h) DoD safeguarding and use of contractor attributional/proprietary information. The Government shall protect against the unauthorized use or release of information obtained from the contractor (or derived from information obtained from the contractor) under this clause that includes contractor attributional/proprietary information, including such information submitted in accordance with paragraph (c). To the maximum extent practicable, the Contractor shall identify and mark attributional/proprietary information. In making an authorized release of such information, the Government will implement appropriate procedures to minimize the contractor attributional/proprietary information that is included in such authorized release, seeking to include only that information that is necessary for the authorized purpose(s) for which the information is being released. (i) Use and release of contractor attributional/proprietary information not created by or for DoD.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers are in descending order of importance: (1) Technical Acceptability and (2) Price. (1) Technical Acceptability (2) Price 1. TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY. Technical acceptability is defined as the contractor's ability to provide at least two Guest Speakers listed as validated Ex-POWs per the Joint Personnel Recovery Agency (JPRA) records. Desired capability is to have at least 3-5 validated Ex-POWs that can provide support. Technical acceptability will be evaluated on a Pass or No-Pass basis. PASS: The offeror has submitted the required documentation necessary for the purchasing activity to determine whether the requested service proposed meets the Government's requirement. FAIL: The offeror did not submit the required documentation necessary for the purchasing activity to determine whether the requested service proposed meets the Government's requirement. 2. PRICE. Offerors will be evaluated for price IAW FAR 13.106-3. Price shall be quoted in accordance with the CLIN(s) structure (0001-4001) provided, in the event an award is made. Price quote evaluations will consider the base ordering price and all optional ordering year prices (including FAR 52.217-8 for the maximum potential extension period of 6 months) for a total overall evaluated Price. The Government will roll-up CLIN/SubCLIN prices into an overall total price for the overall evaluated price. The unit price shall include a firm fixed price for each session of Guest Speaker Service Engagements. The unit price shall be fully inclusive of the Guest Speaker's time, travel (to Fort Bragg, NC), lodging (per diem for Fayetteville, NC) and any other direct costs attributed to the session. Alternate pricing is not acceptable. All prospective offerors shall propose a price per session with the total annual price calculated for 18 sessions per year. Offers shall remain valid for a minimum of 60 days. The Government may choose to award separately, if it is in the best interest of the Government. However, it is the Government's desire to minimize the number of awards and reserves the right to award to an offeror, at a higher price, that is capable of providing the majority of all items under this solicitation. (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. As part of price evaluation, the Government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding six (6) months of the offeror's final optional period price to the offeror's total price. Vendors shall not submit a price for the potential six month extension of services period. The Government may choose to exercise the Option to Extend the Term of the Contract at the end of any performance period (base or optional periods), utilizing the rates of that performance period. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the optional periods. (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.
