SECTION K - REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS Beginning January 1, 2005, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) will require the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as a part of the proposal submission process. All offerors must be registered in ORCA. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the FAR required representations and certifications previously found in solicitations. With ORCA, you now have the ability to enter and maintain your representation and certification information, at your convenience via the Internet athttp://orca.bpn.gov. In addition, rather than receiving and reviewing paper submissions, government contracting officials can access ORCA and review your information online as a part of the proposal evaluation process. You will no longer have to submit representations and certifications completed in ORCA with each offer. Instead, a solicitation will contain a single provision that will allow you to either certify that all of your representations and certifications in ORCA are current, complete and accurate as of the date of your signature, or list any changes. Although architect-engineer firms can voluntarily submit the Standard Form (SF) 330 Part II through ORCA, they still must submit this form to each agency for which it wants to be considered for projects that are not publicly announced. To prepare for this requirement and to register in ORCA, you will need to have two items: an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your companies ID and password into ORCA. (Visit www.ccr.gov for more information on creating and entering your MPIN). The basic information provided in your CCR record is used to pre-populate a number of fields in ORCA. Vendors are reminded to protect their MPIN from unauthorized use. Once in ORCA you will be asked to review pertinent information pre-populated from CCR, provide a point of contact, and answer a questionnaire that contains up to 26 questions. The questionnaire is to help you gather information you need for the clauses. The questionnaire is not the official version. Be sure to read the provisions carefully. The answers you provide are then automatically entered into the actual FAR provisions. You are required to review your information, as inserted, in context of the full-text provisions for accuracy; acknowledge three additional read only provisions; and click a time/date stamp before final submission. You will need to review and/or update your ORCA record when necessary, but at least annually in order to maintain its active status. Detailed information regarding ORCA, how to submit your record, and whom to call for assistance can be found on ORCAs homepage at http://orca.bpn.gov under Help.

Recent contracts will be examined to ensure that corrective measures have been implemented. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances may not outweigh overall negative trends. BASIS FOR AWARD - The Contracting Officer will make award to the offeror whose proposal represents the best overall expected value and that is considered most advantageous to its interests based on the criteria specified in this solicitation. The Contracting Officer will develop a level of confidence assessment rating for each offeror. This rating will be used to adjust the Government's evaluation of the offeror's proposal, and may highly influence the determination of which offeror represents the best overall expected value. If an offeror, or the proposed offeror do not have any past performance history relating to this solicitation, neither a favorable or unfavorable evaluation will be given.

The Offeror's cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction with the Government, public and private agencies. The timeliness of performance taking into account excusable delays. With past performance being the most important factor in the level of confidence assessment rating. Poor Unfavorable Marginal More unfavorable than favorable Good More favorable than unfavorable Excellent Entirely favorable Firms lacking relevant past performance history: neither a favorable or unfavorable evaluation Price - Those subfactors, as set forth in "Evaluation Criteria", upon which a comparative ranking of proposals will be based in accordance with relative order of importance accorded each factor: The evaluation criteria and sub factors are listed above and address the completeness of requirement and will be evaluated in the order of their relative importance. Past Performance, and Price Offerors are advised that the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions. Therefore, the initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Tradeoff Process: It may be in the government best interest to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technical rated offeror. This process may include tradeoffs among cost/price and non cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest prices proposal if the perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal are determined to merit the additional cost. All Offerors must complete the ACH form and the CCR Registration, which can be found on UNICOR's webpage at www.unicor.gov.

SECTION K - REPRESENTATIONS AND CERTIFICATIONS Beginning January 1, 2005, the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) will require the use of the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA) in Federal solicitations as a part of the proposal submission process. All offerors must be registered in ORCA. ORCA is a web-based system that centralizes and standardizes the collection, storage and viewing of many of the FAR required representations and certifications previously found in solicitations. With ORCA, you now have the ability to enter and maintain your representation and certification information, at your convenience via the Internet athttp://orca.bpn.gov. In addition, rather than receiving and reviewing paper submissions, government contracting officials can access ORCA and review your information online as a part of the proposal evaluation process. You will no longer have to submit representations and certifications completed in ORCA with each offer. Instead, a solicitation will contain a single provision that will allow you to either certify that all of your representations and certifications in ORCA are current, complete and accurate as of the date of your signature, or list any changes. Although architect-engineer firms can voluntarily submit the Standard Form (SF) 330 Part II through ORCA, they still must submit this form to each agency for which it wants to be considered for projects that are not publicly announced. To prepare for this requirement and to register in ORCA, you will need to have two items: an active Central Contractor Registration (CCR) record and a Marketing Partner Identification Number (MPIN) identified in that CCR record. Your DUNS number and MPIN act as your companies ID and password into ORCA. (Visit www.ccr.gov for more information on creating and entering your MPIN). The basic information provided in your CCR record is used to pre-populate a number of fields in ORCA. Vendors are reminded to protect their MPIN from unauthorized use. Once in ORCA you will be asked to review pertinent information pre-populated from CCR, provide a point of contact, and answer a questionnaire that contains up to 26 questions. The questionnaire is to help you gather information you need for the clauses. The questionnaire is not the official version. Be sure to read the provisions carefully. The answers you provide are then automatically entered into the actual FAR provisions. You are required to review your information, as inserted, in context of the full-text provisions for accuracy; acknowledge three additional read only provisions; and click a time/date stamp before final submission. You will need to review and/or update your ORCA record when necessary, but at least annually in order to maintain its active status. Detailed information regarding ORCA, how to submit your record, and whom to call for assistance can be found on ORCAs homepage at http://orca.bpn.gov under Help.

Offeror has the opportunity to submit, in their proposal, any problems and resolutions to those problems that Offeror has had with past customers. Recent contracts will be examined to ensure that corrective measures have been implemented. Prompt corrective action in isolated instances may not outweigh overall negative trends. BASIS FOR AWARD - The Contracting Officer will make award to the offeror whose proposal represents the best overall expected value and that is considered most advantageous to its interests based on the criteria specified in this solicitation. The Contracting Officer will develop a level of confidence assessment rating for each offeror. This rating will be used to adjust the Government's evaluation of the offeror's proposal, and may highly influence the determination of which offeror represents the best overall expected value. If an offeror, or the proposed offeror do not have any past performance history relating to this solicitation, neither a favorable or unfavorable evaluation will be given. In determining which offeror represents the best overall value, the Contracting Officer will consider the following factors: Past Performance. The offeror's records of past performance, and to what extent the performance has been satisfactory. The Offeror's cooperative behavior and commitment to customer satisfaction with the Government, public and private agencies. The timeliness of performance taking into account excusable delays. With past performance being the most important factor in the level of confidence assessment rating. Poor Unfavorable Marginal More unfavorable than favorable Good More favorable than unfavorable Excellent Entirely favorable Firms lacking relevant past performance history: neither a favorable or unfavorable evaluation Price - Those subfactors, as set forth in "Evaluation Criteria", upon which a comparative ranking of proposals will be based in accordance with relative order of importance accorded each factor: The evaluation criteria and sub factors are listed above and address the completeness of requirement and will be evaluated in the order of their relative importance. Past Performance, and Price Offerors are advised that the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions. Therefore, the initial proposal should contain the offerors best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. Tradeoff Process: It may be in the government best interest to consider award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technical rated offeror. This process may include tradeoffs among cost/price and non cost factors and allows the Government to accept other than the lowest prices proposal if the perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal are determined to merit the additional cost. All Offerors must complete the ACH form and the CCR Registration, which can be found on UNICOR's webpage at www.unicor.gov. For the ACH form click on business commercial opportunities, navigate to, procurement forms and click on ACH form and print.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate proposals: List in order of importance: Past Performance, meet specifications and price. A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer will be mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.
