DETENTION SERVICES
C.1
U. S. IMMIGRATION AND CUSTOMS ENFORCEMENT GOALS
The United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS), U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) is
responsible for the detention, health, welfare, transportation and deportation of illegal aliens in removal proceedings,
and aliens subject to final order of removal from the United States. ICE houses detainees in Contract Detention
Facilities (CDF), Service Processing Centers (SPC), and other federal, state, local and private facilities.
C.2
PURPOSE
C.2 1
ICE DRO Mission
The mission of the Detention and Removal Operations Program (DRO) is the planning, management, and direction
of broad programs relating to the supervision, detention and deportation of detainees who are in the United States
illegally. These activities are chiefly concerned with the processing and enforcement of departure from the United
States of detainees who have entered illegally or have become removable after admission.
In implementing its mission, DRO is responsible for carrying out all orders for the securing and departure activities
of detainees who are designated in removal proceedings and for arranging for the detention of detainees when such
becomes necessary and prescribed by law.
C.2.2
Statement of Objectives
This Statement of Objectives (SOO) is for performance-based services and applies to designated ICE solicitations
and contracts for detention and transportation services at contractor-owned and contractor-owned facilities. This
SOO sets forth the contract objectives and other relevant information that applies to solicitations and contracts that
incorporate this SOO.
C.2.3
Performance Work Statement
This SOO and the relevant solicitation contain ICE-developed model performance work statements (PWS) that are
germane to the designated location. The solicitation invites offerors to modify the sample PWS and propose a PWS
that both complies with ICE operational and legal requirements and specifically correlates with the offeror’s
proposed solution. Accordingly, a final PWS will become a part of the resultant contract. See Section J-Attachment
1 for a sample PWS.

PARTNERING PHILOSOPHY
A major intent of this acquisition is to create a “partnership” between ICE and the Contractor. ICE intends to
structure the contract in a manner that ensures the Contractor’s goals and objectives are in alignment with those of
ICE. Superior performance on the Contractor’s part will have both an indirect and direct effect on the
accomplishment of ICE’s mission. Within the context of the ICE/Contractor partnership, ICE does not use the terms
“partner” and “partnership” as legal terms. The ICE/Contractor partnership will reflect the attributes of an open,
collaborative, customer-oriented, and professional relationship. In addition to meeting the program objectives, the
contractor is encouraged to:
C.7
1.
Consistently take steps to understand ICE’s crucial national security mission, its business issues and
opportunities, and its responsibilities under Section 287(g) of the Illegal Immigration Reform and
Immigrant Responsibility Act;
2.
Work collaboratively with other Federal, state and local law enforcement organizations, contractors,
government agencies, and business partners to ensure success; and
3.
Under a performance-based contract, performance measures and metrics will be used extensively to
monitor contractor performance. ICE and the Contractor will monitor progress using agreed-upon
performance metrics.
PLACE OF PERFORMANCE
Program objectives for this SOO will be monitored by and reported to the U. S. Immigration and Customs
Enforcement, Office of Acquisition Management-Laguna, 24000 Avila Road, Room 3104, Laguna Niguel, CA
92677. Services on this contract will be performed at the Seattle, Washington area.
C.8
PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE
The anticipated total period of performance of each contract is five years, inclusive of any options.
C.9

SECTION E - INSPECTION AND ACCEPTANCE
52.246-4 Inspection of Services - Fixed-Price (AUG 1996)
(a) Definition: Services, as used in this clause, includes services performed, workmanship, and material furnished or
utilized in the performance of services.
(b) The Contractor shall provide and maintain an inspection system acceptable to the Government covering the
services under this contract. Complete records of all inspection work performed by the Contractor shall be
maintained and made available to the Government during contract performance and for as long afterwards as the
contract requires.
(c) The Government has the right to inspect and test all services called for by the contract, to the extent practicable at
all times and places during the term of the contract. The Government shall perform inspections and tests in a
manner that will not unduly delay the work.
(d) If the Government performs inspections or tests on the premises of the Contractor or a subcontractor, the
Contractor shall furnish; and shall require subcontractors to furnish, at no increase in contract price, all reasonable
facilities and assistance for the safe and convenient performance of these duties.
(e) If any of the services do not conformed with the contract requirements, the Government may require the
Contractor to perform the services again in conformity with contract requirements, at no increase in contract
amount. When the defects in services cannot be corrected by re-performance, the Government may (1) Require the Contractor to take necessary action to ensure that future performance conforms to contract
requirements; and
(2) Reduce the contract price to reflect the reduced value of the services performed.
(f) If the Contractor fails to promptly perform the services again or to take the necessary action to ensure future
performance in conformity with contract requirements, the Government may (1) By contract or otherwise, perform the services and charge to the Contractor any cost incurred by the
Government that is directly related to the performance of such service; or
(2) Terminate the contract for default.
E.1 - Inspection by the Government
The Government has the right to inspect the posts manned by the Contractor’s personnel. The COTR will note
deficiencies and refer them to the Contractor for corrective action. After taking corrective action, the Contractor shall
inform the COTR in writing.
The Government shall have the right to inspect all services and work that is performed by the Contractor. The
Government has the right to review, collect, or seize documents, materials, logs, books, reports, and equipment. The
Government has the right to test equipment and tools used by the Contractor, or its employees. The Government shall not
unduly disrupt or delay Contractor work when inspecting.
E.2 - Methodology to Be Used to Monitor the Contractor’s Performance
100 Percent Inspection: This is the most appropriate method for tasks with stringent performance requirements, e.g.,
where safety or health is a concern. With this method, performance is inspected and evaluated at each occurrence.
Random Sampling: This is the most appropriate method for frequently recurring tasks. With random sampling,
services are sampled sporadically to determine if the level of performance is acceptable.
Planned Inspection: This method is appropriate to evaluate tasks at a set time.
Customer Complaint: This method is based on subjective opinions regarding performance standards and includes
data elements necessary to begin an investigation. Any required service can have a valid Customer Compliant as an
alternative method of surveillance.
E.3 - Customer Complaint
All Customer Complaints will be reviewed by the COTR. The COTR shall verify the performance and determine the
validity of the compliant. The COTR will notify the Project Manager of the customer compliant, annotating the time
of the notification on the Customer Compliant. The Project Manager will respond in writing to the COTR within two
(2) working days of notification.

significant events that occurred during the reporting period with respect to the accomplishments of the tasks, a
summary of what work was accomplished, problems and resolutions (address problem areas, results obtained relating
to previously identified problem areas, and recommendations involving impact on technical, price and scheduling).
F.5 - Monetary Adjustments for Unsatisfactory and Non Performance of Required Standards
ICE developed a model Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) see Section J-Attachment 2, which sets forth
the procedures and guidelines that ICE will use to inspect the technical performance of the Contractor. It presents
the potential withholdings and mechanisms for applying adjustments to the Contractor’s invoices as dictated by work
performance measured to the desired level of accomplishment.

The Contracting Officer is the only person authorized to approve changes in any of the requirements under this
contract. Notwithstanding any clause contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the
Contracting Officer.
In the event the Contractor effects any change at the direction of any person other than the Contracting Officer,
including any change beyond the scope of authority given to the duly authorized Contracting Officer’s
Representative identified in the contract, the change will be considered to have been made without authority and no
adjustment will be made in the contract cost to cover any increase in charges incurred as a result thereof. The
Contracting Officer has the authority to perform any and all post-award functions in administering and enforcing this
contract in accordance with its terms and condition. The Contracting Officer may execute contract modifications deobligating unexpended DHS/ICE dollar balances considered excess to known contracting requirements.
All modifications and/or changes to this contract must be in writing, signed and approved by the Contracting Officer.
G.2 - CONTRACTING OFFICER’S TECHNICAL REPRESENTATIVES (COTR(s))
a.
The Contracting Officer’s Technical Representatives (COTR(s)) below are designated to coordinate the
technical aspects of this contract and inspect items/services/invoices furnished hereunder, however, he/she

The COTR(s) are responsible for monitoring the performance of work under this contract. In no event,
however, will any understanding, agreement, modification, change order or other matter deviating from the
terms and conditions of this contract be effective or binding upon the Government unless formalized by
proper contractual documents executed by the Contracting Officer. The COTR(s) may give technical
direction to the Contractor that fills in details, requires pursuit of certain lines of inquiry or otherwise serves
to facilitate the Contractor’s compliance with the contract.
To be valid, the technical directions by the COTR(s):
Must be consistent with the general scope of work set for the in this contract
May not constitute new assignment of work nor change the expressed terms, conditions or
specifications of this contract, and
Shall not constitute a basis for any increase in the contract’s estimated cost or extension to the contract
or period of performance.
In the event any Government technical direction is interpreted by the Contractor to fall within the clause of
this contract entitled ‘CHANGES” (FAR 52.243-1 Alternate 1), the Contractor shall not implement such
direction bur shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing of such interpretation within ten (10) working
days after the contractor’s receipt of such direction.
17
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
If after reviewing the information presented by the Contractor, the Contracting Officer is of the opinion that
such direction is within the purview of the “Changes” clause and considers such change desirable, a
unilateral direction will be issued to the contractor to proceed pursuant to the authority granted in that
clause.
In the event a determination is made that it is necessary to avoid a delay in performance of the contract, the
Contracting Officer may direct the contractor to proceed with the implementation of the technical direction
pending receipt of the information to be submitted by the contractor. Should the Contracting Officer later
determine that a change direction is appropriate; the written direction issued hereunder shall constitute the
required change direction.

under the clause in this contract entitled “Small Business Subcontracting Plan,” or willful or intentional action to

effort, the Contracting Officer shall give the Contractor written notice specifying the failure and permitting the

information pertaining to National Labor Relations Board shall not be included in notices posted in the plants or

Notice to Employees
Under Federal law, employees cannot be required to join a union or maintain membership in a union in order to
retain their jobs.
Under certain conditions, the law permits a union and an employer to enter into a union-security agreement requiring
employees to pay uniform periodic dues and initiation fees. However, employees who are not union members can
object to the use of their payments for certain purposes and can only be required to pay their share of union costs
relating to collective bargaining, contract administration, and grievance adjustment.
If you do not want to pay that portion of dues or fees used to support activities not related to collective bargaining,
contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you are entitled to an appropriate reduction in your payment. If you
believe that you have been required to pay dues or fees used in part to support activities not related to collective
bargaining, contract administration, or grievance adjustment, you may be entitled to a refund and to an appropriate
reduction in future payments.
For further information concerning your rights, you may wish to contact the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB)
either at one of its Regional offices or at the following address or toll free number:
National Labor Relations Board
Division of Information
1099 14th Street, N.W.

(g), the Secretary may direct that this contract be cancelled, terminated, or suspended in whole or in part, and
declare the Contractor ineligible for further Government contracts in accordance with procedures at 29 CFR part
470, Subpart B--Compliance Evaluations, Complaint Investigations and Enforcement Procedures. Such other
sanctions or remedies may be imposed as are provided by 29 CFR Part 470, which implements Executive Order
13201, or as are otherwise provided by law.

Contractor or certified as the exclusive bargaining representative of the Contractor's employees;
(3) Contractor establishments or construction work sites located in a jurisdiction named in the definition of the

of the Contractor's facilities if the Deputy Assistant Secretary finds that the Contractor has demonstrated that(i) The facility is in all respects separate and distinct from activities of the Contractor related to the
performance of a contract; and

(2) Download a copy of the poster from the Office of Labor-Management Standards website at
http://www.olms.dol.gov; or
(3) Reproduce and use exact duplicate copies of the Department of Labor's official poster.
(g) The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause in every subcontract or purchase order that exceeds the
simplified acquisition threshold, entered into in connection with this contract, unless exempted by the Department
of Labor Deputy Assistant Secretary for Labor-Management Programs on account of special circumstances in the
national interest under authority of 29 CFR 470.3(c). For indefinite quantity subcontracts, the Contractor shall

52.246-25 Limitation of Liability - Services (FEB 1997)
52.248-1 Value Engineering (FEB 2000)
(a) General. The Contractor is encouraged to develop, prepare, and submit value engineering change proposals
(VECP’s) voluntarily. The Contractor shall share in any net acquisition savings realized from accepted VECP’s,
in accordance with the incentive sharing rates in paragraph (f) below.
(b) Definitions.
“Acquisition savings,’’ as used in this clause, means savings resulting from the application of a VECP to
contracts awarded by the same contracting office or its successor for essentially the same unit. Acquisition
savings include –
(1) Instant contract savings, which are the net cost reductions on this, the instant contract, and which are equal to
the instant unit cost reduction multiplied by the number of instant contract units affected by the VECP, less
the Contractor’s allowable development and implementation costs;
(2) Concurrent contract savings, which are net reductions in the prices of other contracts that are definitized and
ongoing at the time the VECP is accepted; and
(3) Future contract savings, which are the product of the future unit cost reduction, multiplied by the number of
future contract units in the sharing base. On an instant contract, future contract savings include savings on
increases in quantities after VECP acceptance that are due to contract modifications, exercise of options,
additional orders, and funding of subsequent year requirements on a multiyear contract.
28
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
“Collateral costs,” as used in this clause, means agency cost of operation, maintenance, logistic support, or
Government-furnished property.
“Collateral savings,” as used in this clause, means those measurable net reductions resulting from a VECP in the
agency’s overall projected collateral costs, exclusive of acquisition savings, whether or not the acquisition cost
changes.
“Contracting office” includes any contracting office that the acquisition is transferred to, such as another branch
of the agency or another agency’s office that is performing a joint acquisition action.
“Contractor’s development and implementation costs,” as used in this clause, means those costs the Contractor
incurs on a VECP specifically in developing, testing, preparing, and submitting the VECP, as well as those costs
the Contractor incurs to make the contractual changes required by Government acceptance of a VECP.
“Future unit cost reduction,” as used in this clause, means the instant unit cost reduction adjusted as the
Contracting Officer considers necessary for projected learning or changes in quantity during the sharing period. It
is calculated at the time the VECP is accepted and applies either –
(1) Throughout the sharing period, unless the Contracting Officer decides that recalculation is necessary because
conditions are significantly different from those previously anticipated; or
(2) To the calculation of a lump-sum payment which cannot be revised later.
“Government costs,” as used in this clause, means those agency costs that result directly from developing and
implementing the VECP, such as any net increases in the cost of testing, operations, maintenance, and logistics
support. The term does not include the normal administrative costs of processing the VECP or any increase in this
contract’s cost or price resulting from negative instant contract savings.
“Instant contract,” as used in this clause, means this contract, under which the VECP is submitted. It does not
include increases in quantities after acceptance of the VECP that are due to contract modifications, exercise of
options, or additional orders. If this is a multiyear contract, the term does not include quantities funded after
VECP acceptance. If this contract is a fixed-price contract with prospective price redetermination, the term refers
to the period for which firm prices have been established.
“Instant unit cost reduction” means the amount of the decrease in unit cost of performance (without deducting any
Contractor’s development or implementation costs) resulting from using the VECP on this, the instant contract. If
this is a service contract, the instant unit cost reduction is normally equal to the number of hours per line-item
task saved by using the VECP on this contract, multiplied by the appropriate contract labor rate.
“Negative instant contract savings” means the increase in the cost or price of this contract when the acceptance of
a VECP results in an excess of the Contractor’s allowable development and implementation costs over the
product of the instant unit cost reduction multiplied by the number of instant contract units affected.
“Net acquisition savings” means total acquisition savings, including instant, concurrent, and future contract
savings, less Government costs.
“Sharing base,” as used in this clause, means the number of affected end items on contracts of the contracting
office accepting the VECP.
“Sharing period,” as used in this clause, means the period beginning with acceptance of the first unit
incorporating the VECP and ending at a calendar date or event determined by the contracting officer for each
VECP.
“Unit,” as used in this clause, means the item or task to which the Contracting Officer and the Contractor agree
the VECP applies.
“Value engineering change proposal (VECP)” means a proposal that –
(1) Requires a change to this, the instant contract, to implement; and
(2) Results in reducing the overall projected cost to the agency without impairing essential functions or
characteristics; provided, that it does not involve a change –
(i) In deliverable end item quantities only;
(ii) In research and development (R&D) end items or R&D test quantities that is due solely to results of
previous testing under this contract; or
(iii) To the contract type only.
(c) VECP preparation. As a minimum, the Contractor shall include in each VECP the information described in
29
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
subparagraphs (c) (1) through (8) below. If the proposed change is affected by contractually required
configuration management or similar procedures, the instructions in those procedures relating to format,
identification, and priority assignment shall govern VECP preparation. The VECP shall include the following:
(1) A description of the difference between the existing contract requirement and the proposed requirement, the
comparative advantages and disadvantages of each, a justification when an item’s function or characteristics
are being altered, the effect of the change on the end item’s performance, and any pertinent objective test data.
(2) A list and analysis of the contract requirements that must be changed if the VECP is accepted, including any
suggested specification revisions.
(3) Identification of the unit to which the VECP applies.
(4) A separate, detailed cost estimate for
(i) the affected portions of the existing contract requirement and
(ii) the VECP.
The cost reduction associated with the VECP shall take into account the Contractor’s allowable development
and implementation costs, including any amount attributable to subcontracts under the Subcontracts paragraph
of this clause, below.
(5) A description and estimate of costs the Government may incur in implementing the VECP, such as test and
evaluation and operating and support costs.
(6) A prediction of any effects the proposed change would have on collateral costs to the agency.
(7) A statement of the time by which a contract modification accepting the VECP must be issued in order to
achieve the maximum cost reduction, noting any effect on the contract completion time or delivery schedule.
(8) Identification of any previous submissions of the VECP, including the dates submitted, the agencies and
contract numbers involved, and previous Government actions, if known.
(d) Submission. The Contractor shall submit VECP’s to the Contracting Officer, unless this contract states otherwise.
If this contract is administered by other than the contracting office, the Contractor shall submit a copy of the
VECP simultaneously to the Contracting Officer and to the Administrative Contracting Officer.
(e) Government action.
(1) The Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor of the status of the VECP within 45 calendar days after the
contracting office receives it. If additional time is required, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor
within the 45-day period and provide the reason for the delay and the expected date of the decision. The
Government will process VECP’s expeditiously; however, it will not be liable for any delay in acting upon a
VECP.
(2) If the VECP is not accepted, the Contracting Officer will notify the Contractor in writing, explaining the
reasons for rejection. The Contractor may withdraw any VECP, in whole or in part, at any time before it is
accepted by the Government. The Contracting Officer may require that the Contractor provide written
notification before undertaking significant expenditures for VECP effort.
(3) Any VECP may be accepted, in whole or in part, by the Contracting Officer’s award of a modification to this
contract citing this clause and made either before or within a reasonable time after contract performance is
completed. Until such a contract modification applies a VECP to this contract, the Contractor shall perform in
accordance with the existing contract. The decision to accept or reject all or part of any VECP is a unilateral
decision made solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer.
(f) Sharing rates. If a VECP is accepted, the Contractor shall share in net acquisition savings according to the
percentages shown in the table below. The percentage paid the Contractor depends upon –
(1) This contract’s type (fixed-price, incentive, or cost-reimbursement);
(2) The sharing arrangement specified in paragraph (a) above (incentive, program requirement, or a combination
as delineated in the Schedule); and
(3) The source of the savings (the instant contract, or concurrent and future contracts), as follows:

(g) Calculating net acquisition savings.
(1) Acquisition savings are realized when
(i) the cost or price is reduced on the instant contract,
(ii) reductions are negotiated in concurrent contracts,
(iii) future contracts are awarded, or
(iv) agreement is reached on a lump-sum payment for future contract savings (see subparagraph (i) (4) below).
Net acquisition savings are first realized, and the Contractor shall be paid a share, when Government costs and
any negative instant contract savings have been fully offset against acquisition savings.
(2) Except in incentive contracts, Government costs and any price or cost increases resulting from negative
instant contract savings shall be offset against acquisition savings each time such savings are realized until
they are fully offset. Then, the Contractor’s share is calculated by multiplying net acquisition savings by the
appropriate Contractor’s percentage sharing rate (see paragraph (f) above). Additional Contractor shares of net
acquisition savings shall be paid to the Contractor at the time realized.
(3) If this is an incentive contract, recovery of Government costs on the instant contract shall be deferred and
offset against concurrent and future contract savings. The Contractor shall share through the contract incentive
structure in savings on the instant contract items affected. Any negative instant contract savings shall be added
to the target cost or to the target price and ceiling price, and the amount shall be offset against concurrent and
future contract savings.
(4) If the Government does not receive and accept all items on which it paid the Contractor’s share, the
Contractor shall reimburse the Government for the proportionate share of these payments.
(h) Contract adjustment. The modification accepting the VECP (or a subsequent modification issued as soon as
possible after any negotiations are completed) shall –
(1) Reduce the contract price or estimated cost by the amount of instant contract savings, unless this is an
incentive contract;
(2) When the amount of instant contract savings is negative, increase the contract price, target price and ceiling
31
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
price, target cost, or estimated cost by that amount;
(3) Specify the Contractor’s dollar share per unit on future contracts, or provide the lump-sum payment;
(4) Specify the amount of any Government costs or negative instant contract savings to be offset in determining
net acquisition savings realized from concurrent or future contract savings; and
(5) Provide the Contractor’s share of any net acquisition savings under the instant contract in accordance with the
following:
(i) Fixed-price contracts -- add to contract price.
(ii) Cost-reimbursement contracts -- add to contract fee.
(i) Concurrent and future contract savings.
(1) Payments of the Contractor’s share of concurrent and future contract savings shall be made by a modification
to the instant contract in accordance with subparagraph (h)(5) above. For incentive contracts, shares shall be
added as a separate firm-fixed-price line item on the instant contract. The Contractor shall maintain records
adequate to identify the first delivered unit for 3 years after final payment under this contract.
(2) The Contracting Officer shall calculate the Contractor’s share of concurrent contract savings by –
(i) Subtracting from the reduction in price negotiated on the concurrent contract any Government costs or
negative instant contract savings not yet offset; and
(ii) Multiplying the result by the Contractor’s sharing rate.
(3) The Contracting Officer shall calculate the Contractor’s share of future contract savings by –
(i) Multiplying the future unit cost reduction by the number of future contract units scheduled for delivery
during the sharing period;
(ii) Subtracting any Government costs or negative instant contract savings not yet offset; and
(iii) Multiplying the result by the Contractor’s sharing rate.
(4) When the Government wishes and the Contractor agrees, the Contractor’s share of future contract savings
may be paid in a single lump sum rather than in a series of payments over time as future contracts are
awarded. Under this alternate procedure, the future contract savings may be calculated when the VECP is
accepted, on the basis of the Contracting Officer’s forecast of the number of units that will be delivered during
the sharing period. The Contractor’s share shall be included in a modification to this contract (see
subparagraph (h) (3) above) and shall not be subject to subsequent adjustment.
(5) Alternate no-cost settlement method. When, in accordance with subsection 48.104-4 of the Federal
Acquisition Regulation, the Government and the Contractor mutually agrees to use the no-cost settlement
method, the following applies:
(i) The Contractor will keep all the savings on the instant contract and on its concurrent contracts only.
(ii) The Government will keep all the savings resulting from concurrent contracts placed on other sources,
savings from all future contracts, and all collateral savings.
(j) Collateral savings. If a VECP is accepted, the Contracting Officer will increase the instant contract amount as
specified in paragraph (h)(5) of this clause, by a rate from 20 to 100 percent, as determined by the Contracting
Officer, of any projected collateral savings determined to be realized in a typical year of use after subtracting any
Government costs not previously offset. However, the Contractor’s share of collateral savings will not exceed the
contract’s firm-fixed-price, target price, target cost, or estimated cost, at the time the VECP is accepted, or
$100,000, whichever is greater. The Contracting Officer will be the sole determiner of the amount of collateral
savings.
(k) Relationship to other incentives. Only those benefits of an accepted VECP not rewardable under performance,
design-to-cost (production unit cost, operating and support costs, reliability and maintainability), or similar
incentives shall be rewarded under this clause. However, the targets of such incentives affected by the VECP
shall not be adjusted because of VECP acceptance. If this contract specifies targets but provides no incentive to
surpass them, the value engineering sharing shall apply only to the amount of achievement better than target.
(l) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include an appropriate value engineering clause in any subcontract of
$100,000 or more and may include one in subcontracts of lesser value. In calculating any adjustment in this
contract’s price for instant contract savings (or negative instant contract savings), the Contractor’s allowable
development and implementation costs shall include any subcontractor’s allowable development and
32
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
implementation costs, and any value engineering incentive payments to a subcontractor, clearly resulting from a
VECP accepted by the Government under this contract. The Contractor may choose any arrangement for
subcontractor value engineering incentive payments; provided that the payments shall not reduce the
Government’s share of concurrent or future contract savings or collateral savings.
(m) Data. The Contractor may restrict the Government’s right to use any part of a VECP or the supporting data by
marking the following legend on the affected parts:
These data, furnished under the Value Engineering clause of contract TBD, shall not be disclosed outside the
Government or duplicated, used, or disclosed, in whole or in part, for any purpose other than to evaluate a value
engineering change proposal submitted under the clause. This restriction does not limit the Government’s right
to use information contained in these data if it has been obtained or is otherwise available from the Contractor or
from another source without limitations.
If a VECP is accepted, the Contractor hereby grants the Government unlimited rights in the VECP and
supporting data, except that, with respect to data qualifying and submitted as limited rights technical data, the
Government shall have the rights specified in the contract modification implementing the VECP and shall
appropriately mark the data. (The terms “unlimited rights” and “limited rights” are defined in Part 27 of the
Federal Acquisition Regulation.)

3052.209-70 Prohibition on Contracts with Corporate Expatriates (JUN 2006)
(a) Prohibitions. Section 835 of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395, prohibits the Department of Homeland
Security from entering into any contract with a foreign incorporated entity which is treated as an inverted
domestic corporation as defined in this clause, or with any subsidiary of such an entity. The Secretary shall waive
the prohibition with respect to any specific contract if the Secretary determines that the waiver is required in the
interest of national security.
(b) Definitions. As used in this clause:
Expanded Affiliated Group means an affiliated group as defined in section 1504 (a) of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986 (without regard to section 1504 (b) of such Code), except that section 1504 of such Code shall be applied
by substituting `more than 50 percent' for `at least 80 percent' each place it appears.
Foreign Incorporated Entity means any entity which is, or but for subsection (b) of section 835 of the Homeland
Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395, would be, treated as a foreign corporation for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986.
Inverted Domestic Corporation means a foreign incorporated entity shall be treated as an inverted domestic
corporation if, pursuant to a plan (or a series of related transactions)
(1) The entity completes the direct or indirect acquisition of substantially all of the properties held directly or
indirectly by a domestic corporation or substantially all of the properties constituting a trade or business of a
domestic partnership;
(2) After the acquisition at least 80 percent of the stock (by vote or value) of the entity is held
(i) In the case of an acquisition with respect to a domestic corporation, by former shareholders of the
domestic corporation by reason of holding stock in the domestic corporation; or
(ii) In the case of an acquisition with respect to a domestic partnership, by former partners of the domestic
partnership by reason of holding a capital or profits interest in the domestic partnership; and
(3) The expanded affiliated group which after the acquisition includes the entity does not have substantial
business activities in the foreign country in which or under the law of which the entity is created or organized
when compared to the total business activities of such expanded affiliated group.
Person, domestic, and foreign have the meanings given such terms by paragraphs (1), (4), and (5) of section
7701(a) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, respectively.
(c) Special rules. The following definitions and special rules shall apply when determining whether a foreign
incorporated entity should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation.
(1) Certain Stock Disregarded. For the purpose of treating a foreign incorporated entity as an inverted domestic
corporation these shall not be taken into account in determining ownership:
(i) Stock held by members of the expanded affiliated group which includes the foreign incorporated entity; or
(ii) stock of such entity which is sold in a public offering related to the acquisition described in subsection
(b)(1) of Section 835 of the Homeland Security Act, 6 U.S.C. 395(b)(1).
(2) Plan Deemed In Certain Cases. If a foreign incorporated entity acquires directly or indirectly substantially all
of the properties of a domestic corporation or partnership during the 4-year period beginning on the date
which is 2 years before the ownership requirements of subsection (b)(2) are met, such actions shall be treated
as pursuant to a plan.
(3) Certain Transfers Disregarded. The transfer of properties or liabilities (including by contribution or
distribution) shall be disregarded if such transfers are part of a plan a principal purpose of which is to avoid
the purposes of this section.
(d) Special Rule for Related Partnerships. For purposes of applying section 835(b) of the Homeland Security Act, 6
U.S.C. 395(b) to the acquisition of a domestic partnership, except as provided in regulations, all domestic
partnerships which are under common control (within the meaning of section 482 of the Internal Revenue Code
of 1986) shall be treated as a partnership.
(e) Treatment of Certain Rights.
(1) Certain rights shall be treated as stocks to the extent necessary to reflect the present value of all equitable
interests incident to the transaction, as follows:
35
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
(i) warrants
(ii) options
(iii) Contracts to acquire stock
(iv) Convertible debt instruments; and
(v) Other similar interests.
(2) Rights labeled as stocks shall not be treated as stocks whenever it is deemed appropriate to do so to reflect the
present value of the transaction or to disregard transactions whose recognition would defeat the purpose of
Section 835.
(f) Disclosure. The Offeror under this solicitation represents that (Check one):
__ it is not a foreign incorporated entity that should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation pursuant to the
criteria of (HSAR) 48 CFR 3009.104-70 through 3009.104-73;
__ it is a foreign incorporated entity that should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation pursuant to the
criteria of (HSAR) 48 CFR 3009.104-70 through 3009.104-73, but it has submitted a request for waiver
pursuant to 3009.104-74, which has not been denied; or
__ it is a foreign incorporated entity that should be treated as an inverted domestic corporation pursuant to the
criteria of (HSAR) 48 CFR 3009.104-70 through 3009.104-73, but it plans to submit a request for waiver
pursuant to 3009.104-74.

52.209-5 Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (DEC 2008)
(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that—
(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals—
(A) Are __ are not __ presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the
award of contracts by any Federal agency;
(B) 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 public (Federal, state, or local) 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;
(C) Are __ are not __ presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental
entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision;
(D) Have __, have not __, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent
Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,000 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.
(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:
38
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
(i) 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.
(ii) 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.
(2) Examples.
(i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. § 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.
(ii) 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. § 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.
(iii) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. § 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.
(iv) 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).
(ii) The Offeror has __ has not __, within a three-year period preceding this offer, had one or more contracts
terminated for default by any Federal agency.
(2) “Principal,” for the purposes of this certification, means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having
primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant
manager; head of a subsidiary, division, or business segment; and similar positions).
This Certification Concerns a Matter Within the Jurisdiction of an Agency of the United States and the
Making of a False, Fictitious, or Fraudulent Certification May Render the Maker Subject to Prosecution
Under Section 1001, Title 18, United States Code.
(b) The Offeror shall provide immediate written notice to the Contracting Officer if, at any time prior to contract
award, the Offeror learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason
of changed circumstances.
(c) A certification that any of the items in paragraph (a) of this provision exists will not necessarily result in
withholding of an award under this solicitation. However, the certification will be considered in connection with a
determination of the Offeror’s responsibility. Failure of the Offeror to furnish a certification or provide such
additional information as requested by the Contracting Officer may render the Offeror non-responsible.
(d) Nothing contained in the foregoing shall be construed to require establishment of a system of records in order to
render, in good faith, the certification required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information
of an Offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent person in the ordinary
course of business dealings.
(e) The certification in paragraph (a) of this provision is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was
placed when making award. If it is later determined that the Offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Government, the Contracting Officer may terminate
the contract resulting from this solicitation for default.

the requirements of the PWS as required in the RFP. Since the Offeror’s narrative technical proposal will be an
important factor in evaluating the Offeror’s ability to furnish and perform the required services, it should be as
complete and accurate as possible. The proposal shall address, in detail, the resources, technical knowledge of the
Government’s requirements, and plans for accomplishing the specified requirements. Proposals submitted by the
Offeror that merely state or offer to provide what the Government requires in accordance with the solicitation will be
considered unacceptable and will not be considered further.

between the contractor and the predecessor contractor to ensure minimal disruption vital to contractor services and
Government activities. The transition plan shall address at a minimum: recruitment, training of new and incumbent

(EOD) required deadlines for all positions.
Factor 1.4 - Key Personnel

will be assigned to each area, accompanied by position description and responsibilities. Lines of supervision per
shift shall be clearly defined.
Factor 1.5 - Management Plan
The Offeror shall provide a management plan that addresses, at a minimum, the following areas: understanding of the
DRO Mission Statement and DRO responsibilities; understanding of the relevance of the DRO Mission Statement
and DRO responsibilities to successful contract performance; understanding of how management differs from

management capability to perform and whether the Offeror consistently delivers quality services in a timely and
cost effective manner. The Government reserves the right to use relevant past performance information it obtains
through other sources e.g. interviews with previous clients or customers of the contractor, other agency databases
(e.g., interviews with previous clients and customers of the Contractor and/or DRO, other agency databases, such as
the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Better Business Bureau (BBB), Excluded
Party List System (EPLS), etc.) Only provide recent related experiences within the last 5 years.

Proposal and Volume II-Past Performance shall NOT contain any cost/pricing data.
VOLUME III– COST/PRICE PROPOSAL
A. Price Proposal Submission
The price proposal shall contain sufficient information to permit a detailed evaluation. The Offeror shall submit
proposed fully burdened rates for all line items listed in Schedule B of the solicitation unless otherwise specified
in Section B. All costs to be incurred for providing these services shall be contained in the proposed prices. The
burden of proof for credibility of the proposed prices rests with the Offeror. There will be no other separately

HSCEDM-09-R-00003
The price breakdown must include direct costs, indirect costs or overhead, general and administrative, and profit,
which may be helpful in the understanding and evaluation of proposed prices.
B. Explanation of Pricing
This section of the Offeror’s proposal is designed to provide a narrative discussion or explanation of all Prices
and “Other Than Pricing” issues requested. As long as the information contained in the “Explanation of
Pricing” is related to the Price Proposal, the Offeror should feel free to provide as much narrative discussion as
it feels is needed to ensure a proper understanding of the Price Proposal. The explanation of pricing is a critical
part of the evaluation process and Offerors shall provide, at a minimum, a comprehensive explanation of the
following:
1. Direct Labor Hour estimation and projection (man hours, staffing numbers per shift, roving guards,
replacement staff, position descriptions, and hourly pay rate for direct productive labor hours only).
2. A brief discussion of company policies and procedures as they relate to overhead, profit, G&A, overtime,
2nd and 3rd shift compensation differentials, per diem, etc.
3. Fringe benefits
4. Subcontract information
The company’s burdened rate will form the basis for future negotiations as additional posts, Full Time
Equivalents (FTEs) and transportation routes are added during the life of the contract. The proposed company
burdened rate during the life of the contract should be clearly explained in the Explanation of Pricing.
C. Direct Labor
Direct Labor is an integral part of the prices proposed for the performance of this contract. As such, the
Government requires that the Contractor present staffing matrices that reflect the Full-Time Equivalent (FTEs),
hours, and the rates proposed for the personnel for the assigned positions reflected on the wage determination
(Section J-Attachment 3) that will be assigned to the performance of the contract.
The Offeror is cautioned that the labor rates proposed will be compared to the Independent Government Price
Estimated (IGCE) as part of the price realism assessment. Therefore, it is recommended, that the Offeror use
category rates that represent realistic expectations of the rates that will be paid under the resultant contract.
Below is a sample of a wage breakdown table which lists the minimum information required for the burden
labor rate;
D. Financial Capability
Provide a narrative discussion of available financial resources for staff, personnel, equipment and supplies to
support the proposed contract. Include the firm’s certified financial statements, certified by an independent
public accountant (prefer audited statements, however, will accept reviewed or compiled statements) for the
current year and one previous year.
The Offeror must provide:
1.
Evidence of availability of working/operating capital that will be used for performance of the resultant
contract. Sufficient funds must be available for the salaries, equipment, equipment maintenance,
45
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
services, supplies, etc., for a minimum of three months of contract performance (since payments for
performance under the resulting contract will be monthly in arrears). Advance payments in this contract
are not authorized.
2.
Letter from your bank or other financial institution stating:
a. Number of years business has been conducted with the bank
b. Types of open accounts (savings, checking, loans, etc.)

confirming information to the Government. The Government may also contact individuals listed in the
proposal by the Offerors in order to obtain information concerning the Offerors’ financial condition on
referenced contracts.
All financial documentation that relates to the technical and management capability proposal shall be contained
in Volume III.

SECTION M - Evaluation Factors for Award
52.217-5 Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990)
Except when it is determined in accordance with FAR 17.206(b) not to be in the Government's best interests, the
Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the
basic requirement. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
M.1 – INTRODUCTION
The Request for Proposal seeks to obtain detention, transportation, and food services inclusive of management,
supervision, detainee welfare necessary to operate and support a contract detention facility in the metropolitan
Seattle, WA area. The Government intends to acquire these services by awarding a single, competitive contract to
the responsible Offeror who submits the combination of Demonstrated Technical and Management Capability, Past
Performance, and Cost/Price Proposal that is determined to represent the best value to the Government.
The Government will use formal source selection procedures to conduct the acquisition. The source selection
procedures involve the use of a structured process that involves a Source Selection Organization (SSO) responsible
for the evaluation of the proposals and selection of a source for contract award. The Technical Evaluation
Committee (TEC) is responsible for conducting a thorough review, analysis and evaluation of the technical and
management capability of the Technical and Management Capability proposal. The Business Evaluation Committee
(BEC) is responsible for conducting a thorough review, analysis and evaluation of the Cost/Price proposal. The Past
Performance Evaluation Committee (PPEC) is responsible for gathering past performance data and conducting a
thorough and complete analysis of the past performance data gathered. The TEC, BEC, and PPEC will submit all

M 2 - EVALUATION FACTORS
FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY
FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE
FACTOR 3 – COST/PRICE
M 2.1 - Relative Importance of Evaluation Factors
The solicitation provides the following information to assist the Offerors to gain a better understanding of how the
Government will evaluate and consider the Offerors’ proposals:
Technical and Management Capability is more important than Past Performance. When combined,
Technical and Management Capability and Past Performance are more important than Price.
The Government reserves the right to conduct a pre-award survey on the successful Offeror for a responsibility
determination.
FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL AND MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY
All of the sub-factors are relatively equal when compared with each other.
Factor 1.1 - Approach to Quality Control and Assurance
The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approach to planning and executing quality control and assurance
processes throughout the life of the contract that will fully meet the standards set forth in the RFP.
Factor 1.2 – Approach to Staffing
The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s approach to fully staffing the proposed facility, including: The
Management, Supervisory, Security and Contingency Plans; Ability to acquire and maintain a reserve guard
force for temporary or emergency staffing that is sufficient to meet the requirements of the RFP.
Factor 1.3 - Transition Plan
The Government will evaluate the Transition Plan to determine if the plan illustrates a sound, reasonable
implementation approach with realistic timeframes to ensure a timely seamless transition between the contractor
and the predecessor contractor to ensure minimal disruption vital to contractor services and Government
activities.
47
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
Particular consideration will be given to the Offeror’s ability to recruit, train, provide the required licenses,
permits and insurance, identify the priority of staffing the facility, and meet the Entry on Duty (EOD) required
deadlines for all positions. Evaluation will be conducted on the training plan to ensure the Offeror’s training
program and course content meet the contract requirements.
Factor 1.4 - Key Personnel
The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s organizational chart and the responsibilities of the key personnel to
ensure that the Offeror has a clear understanding of the contract staffing requirements. Key Personnel resumes
will be evaluated based on education, knowledge, experience, and security clearance as stated in the PWS.
Factor 1.5 - Management Plan
The Government will evaluate the Management Plan to assure the Offeror’s: understanding of the DRO Mission
Statement and DRO responsibilities; understanding of the relevance of the DRO Mission Statement and DRO
responsibilities to successful contract performance; understanding of how management differs from supervision
in the context of the DRO Mission Statement and DRO responsibilities; an explanation of how the Offeror
specifically plans to help DRO achieve the DRO Mission Statement and DRO responsibilities; performance
measures and incentives or disincentives that demonstrate an understanding of the DRO Mission Statement and
DRO responsibilities; commitment of the Offeror to the success of achieving the DRO Mission Statement and
DRO responsibilities as demonstrated by the extent to which the Offeror will realistically put its profits at risk
through the meaningful incentives and disincentives proposed.
Factor 1.6 - Transportation Plan
The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s transportation plan to ensure that the Offeror has the capability to
meet the requirements based on: written comprehensive Transportation Plan including staff, vehicles, and
rationale for the number of miles proposed; how the offeror specifically plan to achieve the objectives; training
of new and incumbent employees; licenses and permits; and insurance and vehicles.
FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE
The Past Performance Factor evaluation will assess the relevance and breadth of the Offeror’s experience and the
quality of the Offeror’s past performance. The Government will determine whether the Offeror has experience that
will enhance its technical and management capability to perform and whether the Offeror consistently delivers
quality services in a timely and cost effective manner. In evaluating past performance, ICE will only take into
consideration the relevant experience and past performance assessments from the Offeror’s customers. However,
ICE reserves the right to use relevant past performance information it obtains through other sources (e.g., interviews
with previous clients and customers of the Contractor and/or DRO, other agency databases, such as the Contractor
Performance System (CPS), Better Business Bureau (BBB), Excluded Party List System (EPLS), etc. Only recent
experience within the last five years will be considered in this evaluation. The assessment will evaluate the
following areas as a whole:
Past Performance will be evaluated in the following areas: recent and relevance of experience; corporate
commitment; quality of services; timeliness of performance; and effective utilization of resources.
Note: If some of the Offeror’s experience is relevant and the rest is not, only the relevant experience will be
evaluated for purposes of past performance. If no experience is relevant or the experience that is relevant cannot be
evaluated due to a reference’s failure to respond, a rating of neutral will be assigned for past performance as defined
below.
FACTOR 3: COST/PRICE
Cost/Price proposals will not be scored and will not be evaluated if the technical proposal is rated as Unsatisfactory.
The Government intends to limit the cost/pricing evaluated to only those offers that reflect the technical competence
necessary to accomplish the objectives of the proposed contract. Once these offers have been identified, the
evaluation of the Cost/Price Proposals will be performed. The Government will conduct its cost or price analysis
using one or more of the techniques specified in FAR 15.
1.
2.
3.
Comparison of proposed process received in response to the solicitation.
Comparison of proposed prices with resources proposed.
Obtaining information/reports from outside agencies and resources as required.
48
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
4.
Cost analysis.
Proposals will be evaluated for price realism, completeness, and reasonableness:
1.
2.
3.
Realism: Prices are compatible with the proposed scope of effort and operations reflect reasonable
economy and efficiency.
Completeness: All information/data required by the RFP has been submitted, tracks to the requirements,
and support the offer.
Reasonableness: Prices are considered fair under current market conditions, reasonable to the Government.
Financial Condition and Capability – The Government will assess the financial condition of the Offeror and its
financial ability to acquire and provide the necessary resources to fulfill the requirements of the contract. The
Government is seeking to determine if the Offeror has available financial resources to support the contract. Upon
receipt of the documentary evidence from the Offeror, the Government will investigate the authenticity and validity
of the information provided by the Offeror. This information will be used to determine responsibility of the Offeror
and to assess relative financial risk.
The Offeror’s available financial resources will be reviewed based on the company financial statements and Dun and
Bradstreet Comprehensive Report which includes an analysis of the firm’s potential financial stress. The Offeror
must show that it has sufficient funds available, including a minimum if three (3) months actual contract performance
price since the resulting contract payments will be made in arrears.
M 3 - EVALUATION PROCESS
M.3.1 – Unacceptable Proposals
The Committees will perform a compliance check of the proposals received to determine conformance of the
proposals to the instructions in the RFP. They will review all proposals to determine if they satisfy the minimum
requirements of the RFP. Proposals found to be inadequate or in gross non-conformance with the RFP instructions
(further evaluation is impossible) will be rejected and the Contracting Officer will notify the unsuccessful Offeror
that their proposal will no longer be considered for further evaluation or award and will provide a debriefing if
requested by the unacceptable Offeror. A proposal may be deemed unacceptable by the Contracting Officer because:
1.
The proposal does not represent a reasonable initial effort to address itself to the essential requirements of
the RFP, or clearly demonstrates that the Offeror does not understand all of the requirements
2.
A substantial design or technical deficiency is inherent in the proposal, and sufficient correction or
improvement to consider the proposal acceptable would require virtually an entirely new proposal
3.
The proposal contains major technical or business deficiencies or omissions, or unreasonable costs which
could not reasonably be expected to be corrected through discussions with the Offeror.
M.3.2 - Basis for Award
Source Evaluation will be conducted and selection will be made in accordance with the guidelines provided in the
Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), Homeland Security Acquisition Manual (HSAM), Homeland Security
Acquisition Regulation (HSAR) and the DHS Management Directives. The Source Selection personnel appointed by
the Contracting Officer will evaluate each Offeror’s Technical and Management Capability, Past Performance, and
Cost/Price proposals. The evaluation will be based on best value principles, and award will be made to the Offeror
whose proposal represents the overall best value to the Government, price and other factors considered. The
Government intends to award the contract without discussions, in accordance with FAR 52.215-1. However, the
Contracting Officer reserves the option to conduct discussions if it is deemed necessary. The Government intends to
award a single Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with fixed unit pricing.
M 3.3 - Method of Evaluation
The determination of best value will be made by comparing the differences in the value of the Demonstrated
Technical and Management Capability Factors and Past Performance and with differences in the Cost/Price
proposed. Demonstrated Technical and Management Capability are more important than Past Performance. When
combined, Demonstrated Technical and Management Capability and Past Performance are more important than
Cost/Price. However, the Government will not make an award at a significantly higher overall cost to the
Government to achieve only slightly superior technical capability. Overall cost to the Government may become the
ultimate determining factor for award of the contract as proposals become more equal based on the other factors.
The degree of equality between the Offerors’ proposals will be measured by the quality, significance, and
49
HSCEDM-09-R-00003
applicability of the superior features proposed.
Proposals will be evaluated in accordance with the criteria set forth in the RFP to determine the Offeror’s
demonstrated ability to provide the required services. Proposals must be specific and compliant with all terms and
conditions of the solicitation in order to be acceptable. Any proposal failing to address all of the elements of the
solicitation will be considered an indication of the Offeror’s lack of understanding, and response to, the
Government’s requirements and may result negatively in overall proposal evaluation.
M 3.4 - Scoring Instructions
Section M provides a description of the factors that will be evaluated for each section of the proposal. Adjectival
ratings will be used in evaluating the Demonstrated Technical and Management Capability Factor and Past
Performance Factor. The Cost/Pricing proposal will not be scored.
M 3.5 - Adjectival Ratings System
The Demonstrated Technical and Management Capability Factor will be evaluated qualitatively and categorized as
Outstanding, Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Unacceptable. The following table defines these adjectives.
