The clause 52.212-4 Alt 1, Contract Terms and Conditions - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. See attached clauses. The clause 52.212-5, Contract Terms and Conditions Required To Implement Statutes or Executive Orders - Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition. The additional FAR clauses cited in the clause are applicable to the acquisition. The provision at FAR 52.212-2 (Evaluation -- Commercial Items) applies to this procurement (with evaluation consisting of award to the responsible contractor whose quote conforms to the solicitation and offers the lowest total price, including the option periods. L09 Reverse Auction (OCT 2016) The Contracting Officer may utilize reverse auctioning to conduct price discussions. If the Contracting Officer does not conduct a reverse auction, award may be made on initial offers or following discussions. If the Contracting Officer decides to use line reverse auctioning to conduct price negotiations, the Contracting Officer will notify Offerors of this decision and the following applies: (1) The contracting officer may use reverse auction as the pricing technique during discussions to receive the final offered prices from each offeror. (2) During each round of reverse auction, the system displays the lowest offer price(s) unless the auction instructions are different. All offerors and authorized auction users see the displayed lowest price(s). This disclosure is anonymous and a generic identifier displays for the offeror. Generic identifiers include designators such as “offer A” or “lowest-priced offeror.” By submitting a proposal in response to the solicitation, offerors agree to participate in the reverse auction and that their prices may be disclosed, including to other offerors, during the reverse auction. (3) An offeror’s final auction price at the close of the reverse auction is considered its final price proposal revision. No price revisions will be accepted after the close of the reverse auction, unless the contracting officer decides that further discussions are needed and final price proposal revisions are again requested in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.307, or the contracting officer determines that it would be in the best interest of the Government to re-open the auction. (4) The contracting officer identifies participants to the DLA commercial reverse auction service provider. To be eligible for award and participate, the offeror must agree with terms and conditions of the entire solicitation and the commercial reverse auction service. The reverse auction pricing tool system administrator sends auction information in an email. The reverse auction system designates offers as "lead," meaning the current low price in that auction, or "not lead," meaning not the current low price in that auction. In the event of a tie offer, the reverse auction provider's system designates the first offer of that price as "lead" and the second or subsequent offer of that price as "not lead." If a tie offer is submitted and no evaluation factors other than price were identified in the solicitation or a low-price technically acceptable source selection is being used, the "Not Lead” offeror that submitted the tie offer must offer a changed price; otherwise its offer will be ineligible for award. If evaluation factors in addition to price were listed in the solicitation and a tradeoff source selection is being used, tie offers that are "Not Lead" will be considered and evaluated. (5) Offerors unable to enter pricing through the commercial reverse auction service provider’s system during a reverse auction must notify the contracting officer or designated representative immediately. The contracting officer may, at their sole discretion, extend or re-open the reverse auction if the reason for the offeror’s inability to enter pricing is determined to be without fault on the part of the offeror and outside the offeror’s control. (6) Training. The commercial reverse auction service provider or government representative conducts training for offerors. Offerors receive training through written material, the commercial reverse auction service provider’s website, or other means. Trainers name employees successfully completing the training as a “Trained Offeror.” Only trained offerors may engage in a reverse auction. The contracting officer reserves the right to remove the “trained offeror” title from anyone who fails to obey the solicitation or commercial reverse auction service provider terms and conditions. 52.203-3 Gratuities APR 1984 52.203-6 Restrictions on Subcontractor Sales to the Government--Alternate I NOV 2021 52.203-11 Certification and Disclosure Regarding Payments to Influence Certain Federal Transactions SEP 2007 52.203-12 Limitation on Payments to Influence Certain Federal Transactions JUN 2020 52.203-17 Contractor Employee Whistleblower Rights and Requirement To Inform Employees of Whistleblower Rights JUN 2020 52.203-19 Prohibition on Requiring Certain Internal Confidentiality Agreements or Statements JAN 2017 52.204-4 Printed or Copied Double-Sided on Postconsumer Fiber Content Paper MAY 2011 52.204-7 System for Award Management OCT 2018 52.204-9 Personal Identity Verification of Contractor Personnel JAN 2011 52.204-10 Reporting Executive Compensation and First-Tier Subcontract Awards JUN 2020 52.204-13 System for Award Management Maintenance OCT 2018 52.204-16 Commercial and Government Entity Code Reporting AUG 2020 52.204-17 Ownership or Control of Offeror AUG 2020 52.204-18 Commercial and Government Entity Code Maintenance AUG 2020 52.204-20 Predecessor of Offeror AUG 2020 52.204-21 Basic Safeguarding of Covered Contractor Information Systems NOV 2021 52.204-23 Prohibition on Contracting for Hardware, Software, and Services Developed or Provided by Kaspersky Lab and Other Covered Entities NOV 2021 52.204-24 Representation Regarding Certain Telecommunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment NOV 2021 52.204-25 Prohibition of Contracting for Certain Telecomunications and Video Surveillance Services or Equipment NOV 2021 52.204-26 Covered Telecommunications Equipment or Services--Representation OCT 2020 52.209-2 Prohibition on Contracting with Inverted Domestic Corporations—Representation NOV 2015 52.209-5 Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters AUG 2020 52.209-6 Protecting the Government’s Interest When Subcontracting with Contractors Debarred, Suspended, or Proposed for Debarment NOV 2021 52.209-10 Prohibition on Contracting with Inverted Domestic Corporations NOV 2015 52.209-11 Representation by Corporations Regarding Delinquent Tax Liability or a Felony Conviction under any Federal Law FEB 2016 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services NOV 2021 52.212-3 Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Products and Commercial Services MAY 2022 52.216-18 Ordering AUG 2020 52.216-19 Order Limitations OCT 1995 52.216-22 Indefinite Quantity OCT 1995 * Minimum/maximum for the base period is $1,000.00 and a maximum value of 150% above the total estimated value for the period.
