Any costs not separately priced shall be considered included in the applicable unit prices as overhead, general and administrative expenses, or other indirect costs. No additional compensation shall be payable due to the Contractor's failure to properly estimate or accurately predict the costs or complexity of providing the required health insurance coverage and related administrative services. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the contract, the contract prices shall remain firm for the duration of the contract, and no adjustment shall be made based on increases in operating costs, labor costs, or fluctuations in currency exchange rates.

VAT is not applicable to this acquisition. Quoters shall not include VAT in CLIN prices unless otherwise specified in this solicitation.

EXCISE TAX

James Zadroga 9/11 Victims Health and Compensation Act of 2010 Notice: Unless a waiver or exception applies, payments subsequent to this procurement are subject to an excise tax of 2% pursuant to 26 U.S.C. 5000C.

ECONOMIC PRICE ADJUSTMENT, PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT BASED ON EXPERIENCE

Premium Adjustment Based on Experience - For health insurance, prices may be adjusted upward or downward based on the experience rating of the Mission(s) covered by this contract, and it specifically excludes all riders.

No adjustment will be allowed during the base year.

The Contractor or the Government may request an adjustment 60 days prior to the end of the base year or current option year, to take effect at the start of the following option year. Adjustments are not retroactive to previous periods of performance, and Contractors may not seek to recover costs incurred during a prior period of performance through an Economic Price Adjustment. Economic Price Adjustments only apply as an adjustment to the rates to be charged by the Contractor for the services identified as in the contract and cannot be recovered as a lump sum adjustment paid to the Contractor.

Before any such adjustment is made, the Contractor agrees to provide the Government a balance sheet showing three main components for the time period:

receipts (premiums received) minus the retention amount; number of insurance plans; and claims paid.

This information shall be provided per type of premium, i.e per line item for the preceding 12 months. The retention amount is not subject to adjustment. The Government reserves the right to have an independent third party review the balance sheet and claims and make recommendations regarding the appropriateness of the requested adjustment. Any adjustment shall be subject to mutual agreement of the parties and shall result in a written modification to the contract.

Mutually agreed to adjustments shall be effective thirty days after complete information is received by the Government, and after the corresponding modification has been signed by the Contracting Officer. Any failure to reach agreement under this clause shall be subject to the procedures in the Disputes clause.

PREMIUM ADJUSTMENT BASED ON LAWS

The rates may also be adjusted during the performance period of the contract as a result of laws enacted by the host government, if such change in the laws has a direct impact on the cost to the contractor to perform this contract at the contracted rate. In that event, the Contracting Officer may enter into negotiations with the contractor to modify the contract to adjust the premium rate(s). The contractor agrees to provide all documentation necessary to support any requested adjustment.

Employee Pool – This clause is only in effect if the contractor included details in its offer regarding a pooling arrangement, of which this contract is a part.

Before any adjustment is made under this price adjustment clause, the contractor must include in its proposal for adjustment details setting forth how the pool impacts the request for equitable adjustment.

Participants Covered Under a Rider

All current active Official Residence Expense (ORE) Staff personally employed by the Chief of Mission and the Deputy Chief of Mission and assigned to their respective official Government residences and paid under an ORE account. All costs for coverage of ORE Staff are the responsibility of the Chief of Mission and the Deputy Chief of Mission, not the U.S. Government. 

Note that the USG is not responsible, nor liable for any riders. 

PRICING

Quoters shall submit firm-fixed prices using Attachment 3 – Price Schedule. Prices shall include all costs necessary to perform the requirements of the contract, including labor, overhead, and profit. Any costs not separately identified shall be included in the applicable CLIN price.

FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Jan 2026 Deviation) 

(a) Evaluation factors.

(c) Notice of award.

(End of provision) 

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation—Commercial Products and Commercial Services (Jan 2026 Deviation) 

Evaluation factors 

The Government will issue an Indefinite Quantity / Indefinite Delivery (IDIQ) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quotation, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors identified below considered. 

The evaluation will be conducted in two phases: 

Phase 1 – Compliance Review

Phase 2 – Comparative Evaluation

To be acceptable and eligible for evaluation, quotations shall be prepared in accordance with 52.212-1 - Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Products and Commercial Services with its addendum and shall meet all the requirements set forth in other sections of this solicitation.  

Phase 1 – Compliance Review

Phase 1 is a pass/fail review to determine whether the quotation complies with the solicitation’s submission requirements. The Compliance Review includes verification that: 

All volumes have been completely submitted.   All required representation and certifications have been completely submitted.   All mandatory minimum requirements meet the requirements.  

The Government may request clarification of minor ambiguities or administrative errors. However, failure to submit required minimum documentation or to satisfy a Mandatory Minimum Requirement may render the quotation ineligible for further evaluation. 

Only quotations determined acceptable under the Compliance Review will advance to Phase 2. 

Phase 2 – Comparative Evaluation

Quotations that successfully complete Phase 1 will be comparatively evaluated using the following factors: 

Factor 1 - Technical Capability:  The Government will comparatively evaluate each quoter’s demonstrated capability to successfully perform the Statement of Work based on the information submitted in Volume 2. 

Factor 2 - Past Performance: The Government will evaluate the relevance and quality of the quoter’s recent past performance to assess confidence in successful contract performance. If a quoter has no relevant past performance, the Government will assign a neutral assessment. A neutral assessment will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. 

Factor 3 – Price: The Government will evaluate the total evaluated price, including all option years, for completeness and price reasonableness. 

Technical Capability and Past Performance, when combined, are significantly more important than Price. 

Separate Charges 

The Government solicits a single, all-inclusive firm-fixed price for all products and services required under this solicitation. Separate or supplemental charges or any type not solicited will not be accepted. 

Responsibility Determination  

Responsibility will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. The Government will determine whether the apparent successful quoter is responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104-1. The determination may be based on information contained in the quotation and information obtained from the System for Award Management (SAM) and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and other reliable sources. A quoter determined to be nonresponsible will not be eligible for award. 

Basis for Award

Award will be made to the responsible quoter whose quotation represents the best value to the Government, based on a comparative evaluation of quotations against the evaluation factors set forth in this solicitation. The Government may award to other than the lowest-priced quoter or other than the highest technically rated quoter if the Contracting Officer determines that doing so is in the Government's best interest.  

The Government reserves the right to seek clarifications or communicate with quoters to resolve minor omissions or ambiguities when deemed necessary. 

(End of addendum) 

FAR 52.225-17 Evaluation of Foreign Currency Quotations (Feb 2000)
