All questions and requests shall be entertained up to November 6th, 2024.
Background
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), in collaboration with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), previously released a Request for Information (RFI) and subsequently hosted an Industry Day in Washington, D.C. on February 20, 2024, seeking information from potential contractors regarding the supply of carbon pollution-free electricity (CFE) in the PJM Interconnection/Regional Transmission Operator (PJM/RTO) region. The agencies considered the input submitted in response to the RFI and the information discussed at the Industry Day to shape their respective procurement strategies and solicitations. Following analysis of this market research, GSA and DoD have decided to execute two separate, but simultaneous, procurements for the purchase of CFE and supplemental grid energy to meet the needs of Federal civilian and Defense agencies located in the PJM/RTO region. Both of these expected solicitations will be structured to support the CFE goals expressed in Section 203 of Executive Order (E.O.) 14057, Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal Sustainability (December 8, 2021). This E.O. sets a goal for the Federal Government to source 100 percent CFE by 2030, including 50 percent hourly matching (24/7 CFE).

The conduct of Counterintelligence Scope (CSP) polygraph examinations plays a vital role in the United States Navy (USN) fight against the Insider Threat. Within the past few years, the NCIS PSFO has also received requests from commands throughout the DoD who have witnessed the importance of such exams and require additional CSP support to help in their fight against the Insider Threat. As a result, the NCIS PSFO presently conducts CSP examinations for commands such as Fleet Cyber Command (FCC), Marine Corps Embassy Security Group (MCESG), Marine Corps Cyber Command (MARFORCYBER), and various other commands who deal with sensitive U.S. classified information. The Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) Polygraph Services Field Office (PSFO) currently conducts approximately 9,000 CSP examinations annually (via both contractor and Government examiners) in support of the entire Department of Defense (DoD) mission at locations both CONUS and OCONUS. Due the limited number of government personnel to perform the exams, the government utilizes contractor support to assist with conducting necessary exams.

Quotes need to be submitted VIA email in the following format:
Subject line of email shall read: Vendor Name, PR Number (ex. Doug’s dogs - PR 20141111) and accompanied with completed Attachment 3- Canine Proposal Information.xlsx
Failure to provide the requested information as stated shall be considered non-compliant and your quote could be removed from the evaluation process.
Quotes shall be evaluated under FAR Part 13.106-2(b) -- Evaluation of Quotations or Offers. The Contracting Officer may issue a purchase order to other than the lowest priced quoter. The Government may award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government with price and other non-price factors considered.
Quotes will be evaluated in the following a phased approach, with Phase I being pass/fail, Phase II being trade-off, and Phase III being a pass/fail technical evaluation of canines brought to CBP for physical inspection against the requirements established in Attachment 1.
Phase I
This phase will be Pass/Fail. Quotes will be evaluated based on the following factors:
Factor 1: Breed Conformance- Offerors quoting breeds other than those specified in the Statement of Work will fail this factor and be removed from further consideration for award. Offerors quoting breeds that matches those identified in the Statement of Work will pass.
Factor 2: Availability Date- Offerors quoting an availability date longer than 60 days from estimated Notice to Proceed date (see bottom of this announcement for date) will fail this factor and be removed from further consideration for award. Offerors quoting an availability date 60 days or sooner from estimated Notice to Proceed date will pass this evaluation factor.
Any offeror who fails either of the factors in Phase I will be removed from consideration for award and will not be evaluated as part of Phase II.
Phase II
Upon removal of offerors that fail either of the Phase I factors, this phase will rank offerors based on a trade-off the following non-price and price factors, listed in the order of importance:
Factor 3: Open Order/Active Notice to Proceed- Higher preference will go to those offerors who have no open CBP canine orders where delivery is not yet fully complete or open Notices to Proceed (i.e., offeror obligated to provide canines under existing order or recently authorized to provide canines for medical, physical & behavioral evaluation within the last 60 days). Lower preference will go to those offerors who have open CBP orders or Notices to Proceed.
Factor 4: Past Performance- After consideration of Factor 3, higher preference will go to those offerors who have successful past performance providing canines to CBP. Offerors who have failed to deliver sufficient number of acceptable canines under previously CBP issued orders or Notices to Proceed dating back to previous three (3) years will be given lower priority. Offerors who have succeeded in delivering acceptable quantities and quality of canines under previous CBP orders will be given higher priority.
Factor 5: Price- After consideration of Factor 3 & 4, the Government will consider price. For offerors of similar rankings in terms of Factors 3 & 4, price will become more of a consideration in determining the offeror issued a Notice to Proceed for Phase III evaluation.
Phase III
Factor 6: Canine Evaluation- Upon completion of evaluation of Phase II, the top-ranked offeror will be issued a Notice to Proceed (NTP). The NTP will require the offeror to deliver the required number of quoted canines to the location identified at the bottom of this announcement for medical, physical & behavioral evaluation as identified in Section 3 of Attachment 1- Statement of Work. The contractor is responsible for all transportation arrangements for shipment and retrieval and costs associated with those shipment and retrieval of the canine(s).
Award Decision
If at least one (1) of the delivered canines are determined acceptable per the requirements established in Section 3 of Attachment 1- Statement of Work, the offeror will pass Factor 6 and CBP will proceed to issue a purchase order for the full quantity of required canines established in the RFQ to the offeror issued the NTP at the total price quoted in Attachment 3. All other offerors evaluated in Phase II will be notified of an unsuccessful quote. Any canine(s) that fail to pass the requirements or medical, physical & behavioral evaluation performed by CBP will not be accepted, and the contractor shall bear all expenses associated with the return of the canine to the contractor’s site within 7-days after receiving notification. CBP will not be responsible for the disposition of canines that have not passed all phases of selection. The vendor is responsible to remove the canines from CBP location within 7 days of notification to do so. Replacement canines may be presented per Attachment 1- Statement of Work, Section 2(b).
Should no canines presented by the offeror issued the NTP pass the requirements or medical, physical & behavioral evaluation performed by CBP, the offeror will fail this phase, the quote will be determined unacceptable, and the presented canine(s) will be returned to the offeror, who shall bear all expenses associated with the return of the canine(s) to the contractor’s site within 7-days after receiving notification. CBP then intends to issue a NTP to the next ranked offeror from Phase II, and the process repeats until a quote passes Factor 6. This process will continue until no Phase II offerors remain. If no Phase II offeror passes Factor 6, CBP intends to cancel the RFQ.

When an individual AMD recovery contract ends but the recovery action is still pending resolution, we award follow-on contracts on a sole source basis to the original vendor (per FAR 16.505(2)(c)) as long as it is for the same recovery case(s). The rationale for this is the combination of contingency payment agreement and the frequent long length of the recovery process. With limited vendor availability, if we did not follow this practice, the original vendor could perform most of the work and the subsequent vendor would reap the rewards of any funds recovered. By awarding follow-on contracts in this manner, we establish fairness for the vendors in an unusual situation, retain good relations with a limited vendor pool for future needs, and therefore get the best long-term benefit to the government. No new work is coming of this follow-on contract, all work performed is a continuation of legal work that has already been started.
