QUANTITY ON OR BEFORE 1 4 boxes 09-07-2012 2 1 boxes 09-07-2012 3 10 vials 09-07-2012 4 100 each 09-07-2012 5 1400 boxes 09-07-2012 If the Offeror is unable to meet the desired delivery schedule, it may, without prejudicing evaluation of its offer, propose a delivery schedule below. However, the offeror's proposed delivery schedule must not extend the delivery period beyond the time for delivery in the Government's required delivery schedule as follows: REQUIRED DELIVERY SCHEDULE ITEM NO. QUANTITY ON OR BEFORE 1 4 boxes 09-14-2012 2 1 boxes 09-14-2012 3 10 vials 09-14-2012 4 100 each 09-14-2012 5 1400 boxes 09-14-2012 Offers that propose delivery of a quantity under such terms or conditions that delivery will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the desired delivery schedule above will apply. OFFEROR'S PROPOSED DELIVERY SCHEDULE ITEM NO. QUANTITY ON OR BEFORE 1 4 boxes 2 1 boxes 3 10 vials 4 100 each 5 1400 boxes (b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day the award is dated. Therefore, the offeror shall compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term "working day" excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. (End of clause) Alternate I (Apr 1984). If the delivery schedule is expressed in terms of specific calendar dates or specific periods and is based on an assumed date of award, the contracting officer may substitute the following paragraph (b) for paragraph (b) of the basic clause. The time may be expressed by substituting "on or before"; "during the months _______"; or "not sooner than ______, or later than ______" as headings for the third column of paragraph (a) of the basic clause. (b) The delivery dates or specific periods above are based on the assumption that the Government will make award by _________ [Contracting Officer insert date]. Each delivery date in the delivery schedule above will be extended by the number of calendar days after the above date that the contract is in fact awarded. Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror results in a binding contract. Therefore, the offeror shall compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. Contracting Officer's Technical Representative The following Contracting Officer Technical Representative (COTR) will represent the Government for the purpose of this contract: To be determined at the time of award. The COTR is responsible for: (1) monitoring the Contractor's technical progress, including the surveillance and assessment of performance and recommending to the Contracting Officer changes in requirements; (2) interpreting the statement of work and any other technical performance requirements; (3) performing technical evaluation as required; (4) performing technical inspections and acceptances required by this contract; and (5) assisting in the resolution of technical problems encountered during performance. The Contracting Officer is the only person with authority to act as agent of the Government under this contract. Only the Contracting Officer has authority to: (1) direct or negotiate any changes in the statement of work; (2) modify or extend the period of performance; (3) change the delivery schedule; (4) authorize reimbursement to the Contractor for any costs incurred during the performance of this contract; or (5) otherwise change any terms and conditions of this contract. The Government may unilaterally change its COTR designation. Post Award evaluation of Contractor Performance a) Contractor Performance Evaluations Interim and final evaluations of Contractor performance will be prepared on this contract in accordance with FAR 42.15. The final performance evaluation will be prepared at the time of completion of work. In addition to the final evaluation, interim evaluation(s) shall be submitted at the time of the annual evaluation. Interim and final evaluations will be provided to the Contractor as soon as practicable after completion of the evaluation. The Contractor will be permitted thirty days to review the document and to submit additional information or a rebutting statement. If agreement cannot be reached between the parties, the matter will be referred to an individual one level above the Contracting Officer, whose decision will be final. Copies of the evaluations Contractor responses and review comments, if any, will be retained as part of the contract file, and may be used to support future award decisions. b) Electronic Access to Contractor Performance evaluations Contractors that have internet capability may access evaluations through a secure Web site for review and comment by completing the registration form that can be obtained at the following address: hhtp://oamp.od.nih./OD/CPS/cps.asp. The registration process requires the Contractor to identify an individual that will serve as a primary point of contact and who will be authorized access to the evaluations for review and comment. In addition, the Contractor will be required to identify an alternate contact that will be responsible for notifying the cognizant contracting official in the event the primary contact is unavailable to process the evaluation within the required 30-day time frame. Reporting Matters Involving Fraud, Waste and Abuse Anyone who becomes aware of the existence or apparent fraud, waste and abuse in NIH funded programs is encouraged to report such matters to the HHS Inspector general's Office in writing or the Inspector general's hotline.
