Specifications NASA LaRC has a requirement for an Electrical Discharge Machine (EDM) in accordance with the attached Specifications. The Government intends to acquire a commercial item using FAR Part 12 and the Simplified Acquisition Procedures set forth in FAR Part 13. Questions regarding this acquisition must be submitted via email no later than 05/13/2016; 12 PM ET. It is the quoter's responsibility to monitor this site for the release of amendments (if any). EVALUATION Selection and award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable quoter. Technical acceptability will be determined from information submitted by the quoter which must provide sufficient details to show that the product quoted meets the Government's requirements. ADDITIONAL SOLICITATION INFORMATION INSTRUCTION FOR VENDOR: ANY INFORMATION REQUESTED IN THIS SECTION CAN BE SUBMITTED VIA EMAIL TO THE CONTRACTING OFFICER ADDITIONAL SOLICITATION INFORMATION FAR CLAUSE 52.204-7, SYSTEM FOR AWARD MANAGEMENT (JUL 2013) is incorporated by reference. FAR 52.212-4, CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS COMMERCIAL ITEMS (MAY 2015) is applicable. Addenda to FAR 52.212-4 are as follows: 1852.215-84 OMBUDSMAN. (NOV 2011) (a) An ombudsman has been appointed to hear and facilitate the resolution of concerns from offerors, potential offerors, and contractors during the preaward and postaward phases of this acquisition. When requested, the ombudsman will maintain strict confidentiality as to the source of the concern. The existence of the ombudsman is not to diminish the authority of the contracting officer, the Source Evaluation Board, or the selection official. Further, the ombudsman does not participate in the evaluation of proposals, the source selection process, or the adjudication of formal contract disputes. Therefore, before consulting with an ombudsman, interested parties must first address their concerns, issues, disagreements, and/or recommendations to the contracting officer for resolution. (b) If resolution cannot be made by the contracting officer, interested parties may contact the installation ombudsman, whose name, address, telephone number, facsimile number, and email address may be found at: http://prod.nais.nasa.gov/pub/pub_library/Omb.html. Concerns, issues, disagreements, and recommendations which cannot be resolved at the installation may be referred to the Agency ombudsman identified at the above URL. Please do not contact the ombudsman to request copies of the solicitation, verify offer due date, or clarify technical requirements. Such inquiries shall be directed to the Contracting Officer or as specified elsewhere in this document. (End of clause) 2.3 1852.223-72 SAFETY AND HEALTH (SHORT FORM). (JUL 2015) (a) Safety is the freedom from those conditions that can cause death, injury, occupational illness; damage to or loss of equipment or property, or damage to the environment. NASA is committed to protecting the safety and health of the public, our team members, and those assets that the Nation entrusts to the Agency. (b) The Contractor shall have a documented, comprehensive and effective health and safety program with a proactive process to identify, assess, and control hazards and take all reasonable safety and occupational health measures consistent with standard industry practice in performing this contract. (c) The Contractor shall insert the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c) in subcontracts that exceed the simplified acquisition threshold where work will be conducted completely or partly on Federally-controlled facilities. (End of clause) 2.4 1852.225-70 EXPORT LICENSES. (FEB 2000) (a) The Contractor shall comply with all U.S. export control laws and regulations, including the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR), 22 CFR Parts 120 through 130, and the Export Administration Regulations (EAR), 15 CFR Parts 730 through 799, in the performance of this contract. In the absence of available license exemptions/exceptions, the Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining the appropriate licenses or other approvals, if required, for exports of hardware, technical data, and software, or for the provision of technical assistance. (b) The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining export licenses, if required, before utilizing foreign persons in the performance of this contract, including instances where the work is to be performed on-site at NASA Langley Research Center, where the foreign person will have access to export-controlled technical data or software. (c) The Contractor shall be responsible for all regulatory record keeping requirements associated with the use of licenses and license exemptions/exceptions. (d) The Contractor shall be responsible for ensuring that the provisions of this clause apply to its subcontractors. (End of clause) 2.5 1852.237-73 RELEASE OF SENSITIVE INFORMATION. (JUN 2005) (a) As used in this clause, "sensitive information" refers to information, not currently in the public domain, that the Contractor has developed at private expense, that may embody trade secrets or commercial or financial information, and that may be sensitive or privileged. (b) In accomplishing management activities and administrative functions, NASA relies heavily on the support of various service providers. To support NASA activities and functions, these service providers, as well as their subcontractors and their individual employees, may need access to sensitive information submitted by the Contractor under this contract. By submitting this proposal or performing this contract, the Contractor agrees that NASA may release to its service providers, their subcontractors, and their individual employees, sensitive information submitted during the course of this procurement, subject to the enumerated protections mandated by the clause at 1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. (c)(1) The Contractor shall identify any sensitive information submitted in support of this proposal or in performing this contract. For purposes of identifying sensitive information, the Contractor may, in addition to any other notice or legend otherwise required, use a notice similar to the following: Mark the title page with the following legend: This proposal or document includes sensitive information that NASA shall not disclose outside the Agency and its service providers that support management activities and administrative functions. To gain access to this sensitive information, a service provider's contract must contain the clause at NFS 1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. Consistent with this clause, the service provider shall not duplicate, use, or disclose the information in whole or in part for any purpose other than to perform the services specified in its contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use this information if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The information subject to this restriction is contained in pages (insert page numbers or other identification of pages). Mark each page of sensitive information the Contractor wishes to restrict with the following legend: Use or disclosure of sensitive information contained on this page is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal or document. (2) The Contracting Officer shall evaluate the facts supporting any claim that particular information is "sensitive." This evaluation shall consider the time and resources necessary to protect the information in accordance with the detailed safeguards mandated by the clause at 1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. However, unless the Contracting Officer decides, with the advice of Center counsel, that reasonable grounds exist to challenge the Contractor's claim that particular information is sensitive, NASA and its service providers and their employees shall comply with all of the safeguards contained in paragraph (d) of this clause. (d) To receive access to sensitive information needed to assist NASA in accomplishing management activities and administrative functions, the service provider must be operating under a contract that contains the clause at 1852.237-72, Access to Sensitive Information. This clause obligates the service provider to do the following: (1) Comply with all specified procedures and obligations, including the Organizational Conflicts of Interest Avoidance Plan, which the contract has incorporated as a compliance document. (2) Utilize any sensitive information coming into its possession only for the purpose of performing the services specified in its contract. (3) Safeguard sensitive information coming into its possession from unauthorized use and disclosure. (4) Allow access to sensitive information only to those employees that need it to perform services under its contract. (5) Preclude access and disclosure of sensitive information to persons and entities outside of the service provider's organization. (6) Train employees who may require access to sensitive information about their obligations to utilize it only to perform the services specified in its contract and to safeguard it from unauthorized use and disclosure. (7) Obtain a written affirmation from each employee that he/she has received and will comply with training on the authorized uses and mandatory protections of sensitive information needed in performing this contract. (8) Administer a monitoring process to ensure that employees comply with all reasonable security procedures, report any breaches to the Contracting Officer, and implement any necessary corrective actions. (e) When the service provider will have primary responsibility for operating an information technology system for NASA that contains sensitive information, the service provider's contract shall include the clause at 1852.204-76, Security Requirements for Unclassified Information Technology Resources. The Security Requirements clause requires the service provider to implement an Information Technology Security Plan to protect information processed, stored, or transmitted from unauthorized access, alteration, disclosure, or use. Service provider personnel requiring privileged access or limited privileged access to these information technology systems are subject to screening using the standard National Agency Check (NAC) forms appropriate to the level of risk for adverse impact to NASA missions. The Contracting Officer may allow the service provider to conduct its own screening, provided the service provider employs substantially equivalent screening procedures. (f) This clause does not affect NASA's responsibilities under the Freedom of Information Act. (g) The Contractor shall insert this clause, including this paragraph (g), suitably modified to reflect the relationship of the parties, in all subcontracts that may require the furnishing of sensitive information. (End of clause) SECURITY PROGRAM/FOREIGN NATIONAL EMPLOYEE ACCESS REQUIREMENTS (LaRC 52.204-91) (APRIL 2014) 1) Applicable Definitions: Foreign National: Any person who is not a U.S. citizen and who is not a lawful permanent resident as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1101(a) (20) or any person who is not a protected individual as defined by 8 U.S.C. 1324b(a) (3). This also means any foreign corporation, business association, partnership, trust, society or any other entity or group that is not incorporated or organized to do business in the U.S., as well as any international organizations, any foreign government, and any agency or subdivision of foreign governments (e.g., diplomatic missions). Lawful Permanent Resident (LPR): A non-U.S. citizen legally permitted to reside and work within the U.S. and issued a Resident Alien Identification (also known as a Green Card). LPRs are to be afforded all the rights and privileges of a U.S. citizen with the exception of voting, holding public office, access to classified national security information, and employment in the federal sector (except for specific needs or under temporary appointment per 5 CFR, Part 7, Section 7.4). LPRs are not prohibited from accessing export controlled commodities, but must have a work-related "need-to-know" for access. LPRs are considered foreign nationals under immigration laws. LPR, as defined herein, is to replace the term "Permanent Resident Alien" (PRA) in all NASA guidance that has not yet been updated to the use of LPR. 2) Requirements for Center Access for Foreign Nationals who are not LPRs: Access to the NASA Langley Research Center by foreign nationals who are not LPRs shall be approved in accordance with NPR 1600.4, "Identity and Credential Management" and Interim Policy Regarding Foreign National Access Management, dated April 2, 2014. Center access approval requires a minimum of 5 (five) working days advance notice. Designated country nationals require a minimum of 30 (thirty) working days advance notice because of additional approval requirements. Foreign nationals who are not LPRs must be escorted by a NASA Civil Servant or permanently badged contractor at all times while on Center unless otherwise approved in writing by the International Visitors Coordinator (IVC). 3) Requirements for Center Access for LPRs: a) Visit requests should be submitted directly to the Badge and Pass Office (BPO) using an LF-103. LPRs may be sponsored for Center access by permanently badged contractor employees or NASA civil servants. Contractor LPRs are generally expected to be sponsored by the employing contractor. b) LPRs who will be at LaRC in excess of 29 days will be processed through IdMAX. c) LPRs who will be at LaRC in excess of 179 days will be processed for PIV credentials that will remain valid for 5 years. d) Contractor management is responsible for ensuring credentials issued to LPRs sponsored by the contractor are returned when the LPR no longer requires access to NASA LaRC under the contract or no longer works for the contractor. e) No Security Transfer Technology Control Plan (STTCP) is required for LPRs. f) LPRs on a work related, "need-to-know" basis are allowed access to export controlled commodities. It is incumbent on the Branch Head or Program Manager to appropriately determine who should have access to export controlled information. The Security Services Branch and the Center Export Administrator are available for guidance. g) LPRs are permitted to carry personal mobile devices on Center. Personal mobile devices are not be used to record, store, or process NASA data and are not to be used to take photographs within NASA facilities. h) LPRs and non-LPR Foreign Nationals must request and obtain prior approval from Joint Base Langley-Eustis prior to entering Joint Base Langley-Eustis. Access is subject to conditions imposed by Joint Base Langley-Eustis and may require a U.S. citizen escort at all times. 4) Violation of security policies by contractor personnel may result in withdrawal of Center access for the offending personnel and/or contractual actions against the contractor. Additionally, violations may be criminal in nature and are subject to criminal prosecution. OBSERVATION OF REGULATIONS AND IDENTIFICATION OF CONTRACTOR'S EMPLOYEES (LaRC 52.211-104) (JANUARY 2013) a) The Contractor shall require its employees to observe and obey all rules and regulations as prescribed by the authorities at LaRC and other installations including all applicable Federal, NASA, and Langley safety, health, environmental and security regulations. b) At all times while on NASA property, the Contractor shall require its employees, subcontractors, and agents to display a valid NASA issued identification badge.
