The following clauses apply to this acquisition: (vii)The provision at 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors-Commercial, applies to this acquisition and a statement regarding any addenda to the provision. (viii)The provision at 52.212-2, Evaluation-Commercial Items, is applicable. 52.212-2 Evaluation-Commercial Items. As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows: Evaluation-Commercial Items (Oct 2014) (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: (b)(i) Technical capability of the item offered to meet the Government requirement; (1) Resumes are required for key personnel proposed. Resumes should contain details (length of experience, depth of experience, dates employed and employer) which specifically address the skills and experience contained in the Statement of Work. This item refers to "Experience and Skills" listed under each subtask and in those past performance references cited. (2) Technical and managerial approach: This refers to the manner in which the contractor proposes to provide the support required. (ii)Price (1)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. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (2)The proposed price will be evaluated but not scored. The price evaluation will determine whether the proposed prices are fair and reasonable in relation to the solicitation requirements. Proposed prices shall be entirely compatible with the technical quotations. (3)Although price is the least important evaluation factor, it will not be ignored. The degree of importance of the proposed prices will increase with the degree of equality of the proposals in relation to the other factors on which selection is to be based (4)When taken together, the Technical Evaluation Criteria are significantly more important than Price. If two or more proposals are evaluated as technically equivalent, then Price may become a significant, and determining factor. (x)Past Performance (see FAR 15.304) (1)Past Performance Factor. An evaluation of offeror's past performance information will be conducted subsequent to the technical evaluation. However, this evaluation will not be conducted on any offeror whose proposal would not be selected for award based on the results of the evaluation of factors other than past performance. The evaluation will be based on information obtained from references provided by the offeror, other relevant past performance information obtained from other sources known to the Government, and any information supplied by the offeror concerning problems encountered on the identified contracts and corrective action taken. The Government will assess the relative risks associated with each offeror. Performance risks are those associated with an offeror's likelihood of success in performing the acquisition requirements as indicated by that offeror's record of past performance. The assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror's performance on a list of contracts but rather the product of subjective judgment by the Government after it considers all available and relevant information. When assessing performance risks, the Government will focus on the past performance of the offeror as it relates to all acquisition requirements, such as the offeror's record of performing according to specifications, including standards of good workmanship; the offeror's record of controlling and forecasting costs; the offeror's adherence to contract schedules, including the administrative aspects of performance; the offeror's reputation for reasonable and cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction; and generally, the offeror's business-like concern for the interest of the customer. The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the offeror's performance. The lack of a relevant performance record may result in an unknown performance risk assessment, which will neither be used to the advantage nor disadvantage of the offeror. The following rating method shall be used in the evaluation of past performance information: +2 Excellent - Based on the offeror's performance record, no doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information are consistently firm in stating that the offeror's performance was superior and that they would unhesitatingly do business with the offeror again. +1 Good - Based on the offeror's performance record, little doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information state that the offeror's performance was good, better than average, etc., and that they would do business with the offeror again. 0 None - No past performance history identifiable. -1 Marginal - Based on the offeror's performance record, some doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information make unfavorable reports about the offeror's performance and express concern about doing business with the offeror again. -2 Poor - Based on the offeror's performance record, serious doubt exists that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort. Sources of information consistently stated that the offeror's performance was entirely unsatisfactory and that they would not do business with the offeror again. Technical and past performance, when combined, are also very important. (c) 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. (End of provision) (x)Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Items, with its offer, or submit a printout to their Online Reps and Certs. FAR 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications-Commercial Item. A copy of the provision is included in "Attachment 2 - OFFEROR REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS".

MMWR 62(RR04); 1-34.) •Hepatitis B Vaccine - Personnel at risk for occupational exposure to blood (human blood, human blood components, and products made from human blood) or other potentially infectious materials shall be offered the hepatitis B vaccine within 10 working days of the initial assignment unless the worker has previously received the complete hepatitis B immunization series, antibody testing has revealed that the worker is immune, or the vaccine is contraindicated for medical reasons. The primary series of three appropriately timed immunizations should be completed as indicated. Personnel who decline the hepatitis B immunization must sign the mandatory declination, as specified in the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogen standard. The contractor shall maintain worker records for at least the duration of employment plus 30 years, in accordance with the standard. (29 CFR Part 1910.1030, OSHA Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens) •Universal Precautions Training - Personnel at risk for occupational exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials must receive annual training in universal precautions. For workers in the Clinical Center and/or credentialed to provide patient care, this training is routinely offered by the Hospital Epidemiology Service. Contractors must either provide annual training to their employees who are at risk for occupational exposure or ensure that they receive training through the Hospital Epidemiology Service. Contractors must maintain training records for three years, according to the standard.

The contractor shall maintain these records for at least the duration of employment plus 30 years, in accordance with the standard. (29 CFR Part 1910.1030, OSHA Occupational Exposure to Bloodborne Pathogens). The Occupational Medical Service (OMS) provides emergency clinical evaluation and post-exposure treatment to NIH employees, contract personnel, and visitors on campus who report an exposure to potentially infectious materials. Incidents involving exposure to human blood and body fluids must be reported immediately to OMS and their immediate the supervisor. If the exposure involves a primate retrovirus, OMS also offers chemoprophylaxis and serologic monitoring. Contractors are responsible for follow-up of exposures other than those involving primate retroviruses. •Tuberculosis (TB) - Personnel who are at risk for occupational exposure to Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of TB, shall receive counseling, screening, and evaluation. These workers include: persons who routinely have patient contact or who enter patient rooms, examination or treatment rooms whether occupied or not; persons who are exposed to Mtb in a laboratory or morgue; and persons who work in a nonhuman primate animal care setting. Workers who have positive tuberculin skin test (TST) results or a positive interferon gamma release assay (IGRA), TST or IGRA conversions, or symptoms suggestive of TB should be identified, evaluated for tuberculosis infection, and started on antibiotics if indicated. The results of preplacement and, if indicated, periodic TB screening must be kept by the Contractor in a retrievable aggregate database. Contractor data must be reported to the Hospital Epidemiology Service upon request. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Guidelines for preventing the transmission of Mycobacterium tuberculosis in health-care facilities, 2005. MMWR 54 RR 17) Every contract employee physically working in the Clinical Center, irrespective of individual risk for occupational exposure to Mtb, must undergo a preplacement TST or IGRA; those with positive tests must be evaluated as described above. •Varicella - Personnel who have patient contact must have varicella immune status on file. Those who do not have a clear history of varicella infection (chickenpox) should be tested for varicella immunity. Varicella vaccine should be offered to those who are nonimmune.

Those with medical contraindications (severe allergic reaction to the vaccine, severe egg allergy, or a history of Guillain-Barre syndrome) must submit physician documentation to be exempted from immunization. Personnel with religious objections to immunization must file a statement to that effect each year in order to decline the vaccine. Records of immunization, declination, or exemption must be kept by the contractor for a period of one year. (Influenza Vaccination of Health-Care Personnel: Recommendations of the Healthcare Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC) and the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP). 2006; 55(RR02);1-16) •Tetanus, Diphtheria, Pertussis - A one-time administration of tetanus toxoid, reduced diphtheria toxoid, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) is strongly encouraged for all contract staff age 19 and older who have not yet received a dose of Tdap. Tdap should be administered regardless of the interval since the last tetanus, or diphtheria toxoid-containing vaccine.
