(1) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this contract concerning inspection or acceptance, if any data delivered under this contract are marked with the notices specified in paragraph (g)(3) or (g) (4) if included in this clause, and use of the notices is not authorized by this clause, or if the data bears any other restrictive or limiting markings not authorized by this contract, the Contracting Officer may at any time either return the data to the Contractor, or cancel or ignore the markings. However, pursuant to 41 U.S.C. 4703, the following procedures shall apply prior to canceling or ignoring the markings. (i) The Contracting Officer will make written inquiry to the Contractor affording the Contractor 60 days from receipt of the inquiry to provide written justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings; (ii) If the Contractor fails to respond or fails to provide written justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings within the 60-day period (or a longer time approved in writing by the Contracting Officer for good cause shown), the Government shall have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time after said period and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions. (iii) If the Contractor provides written justification to substantiate the propriety of the markings within the period set in paragraph (e)(1)(i) of this clause, the Contracting Officer will consider such written justification and determine whether or not the markings are to be cancelled or ignored. If the Contracting Officer determines that the markings are authorized, the Contractor will be so notified in writing. If the Contracting Officer determines, with concurrence of the head of the contracting activity, that the markings are not authorized, the Contracting Officer will furnish the Contractor a written determination, which determination will become the final agency decision regarding the appropriateness of the markings unless the Contractor files suit in a court of competent jurisdiction within 90 days of receipt of the Contracting Officer's decision. The Government will continue to abide by the markings under this paragraph (e)(1)(iii) until final resolution of the matter either by the Contracting Officer's determination becoming final (in which instance the Government will thereafter have the right to cancel or ignore the markings at any time and the data will no longer be made subject to any disclosure prohibitions), or by final disposition of the matter by court decision if suit is filed. (2) The time limits in the procedures set forth in paragraph (e)(1) of this clause may be modified in accordance with agency regulations implementing the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. 552) if necessary to respond to a request thereunder. (3) Except to the extent the Government's action occurs as the result of final disposition of the matter by a court of competent jurisdiction, the Contractor is not precluded by paragraph (e) of the clause from bringing a claim, in accordance with the Disputes clause of this contract, that may arise as the result of the Government removing or ignoring authorized markings on data delivered under this contract. (f) Omitted or incorrect markings. (1) Data delivered to the Government without any restrictive markings shall be deemed to have been furnished with unlimited rights. The Government is not liable for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of such data. (2) If the unmarked data has not been disclosed without restriction outside the Government, the Contractor may request, within 6 months (or a longer time approved by the Contracting Officer in writing for good cause shown) after delivery of the data, permission to have authorized notices placed on the data at the Contractor's expense. The Contracting Officer may agree to do so if the Contractor— (i) Identifies the data to which the omitted notice is to be applied; (ii) Demonstrates that the omission of the notice was inadvertent; (iii) Establishes that the proposed notice is authorized; and (iv) Acknowledges that the Government has no liability for the disclosure, use, or reproduction of any data made prior to the addition of the notice or resulting from the omission of the notice.

Employees must be permitted to use paid sick leave for theirown illness, injury or other health-related needs, including preventive care; toassist a family member (or person who is like family to the employee) who is ill,injured, or has other health-related needs, including preventive care; or forreasons resulting from, or to assist a family member (or person who is like familyto the employee) who is the victim of, domestic violence, sexual assault, orstalking. Additional information on contractor requirements and worker protectionsunder the EO is available at whd/govcontracts.ALL OCCUPATIONS LISTED ABOVE RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING BENEFITS:HEALTH & WELFARE: $4.48 per hour or $179.20 per week or $776.53 per monthHEALTH & WELFARE EO 13706: $4.18 per hour, or $167.20 per week, or $724.53 permonth**This rate is to be used only when compensating employees for performance on an SCA-covered contract also covered by EO 13706, Establishing Paid Sick Leave for FederalContractors. A contractor may not receive credit toward its SCA obligations for anypaid sick leave provided pursuant to EO 13706.VACATION: 2 weeks paid vacation after 1 year of service with a contractor orsuccessor, 3 weeks after 8 years, and 4 weeks after 15 years. Length of serviceincludes the whole span of continuous service with the present contractor orsuccessor, wherever employed, and with the predecessor contractors in theperformance of similar work at the same Federal facility. (See 29 CFR 4.173)HOLIDAYS: A minimum of ten paid holidays per year: New Year's Day, Martin LutherKing Jr.'s Birthday, Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Independence Day,Labor Day, Columbus Day, Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving Day, and Christmas Day. (Acontractor may substitute for any of the named holidays another day off with pay inaccordance with a plan communicated to the employees involved.) (See 29 CFR 4.174)THE OCCUPATIONS WHICH HAVE NUMBERED FOOTNOTES IN PARENTHESES RECEIVE THE FOLLOWING:1) COMPUTER EMPLOYEES: Under the SCA at section 8(b), this wage determination doesnot apply to any employee who individually qualifies as a bona fide executive,administrative, or professional employee as defined in 29 C.F.R. Part 541. Becausemost Computer System Analysts and Computer Programmers who are compensated at a ratenot less than $27.63 (or on a salary or fee basis at a rate not less than $455 perweek) an hour would likely qualify as exempt computer professionals, (29 C.F.R. 541.400) wage rates may not be listed on this wage determination for all occupationswithin those job families. In addition, because this wage determination may notlist a wage rate for some or all occupations within those job families if the surveydata indicates that the prevailing wage rate for the occupation equals or exceeds$27.63 per hour conformances may be necessary for certain nonexempt employees. Forexample, if an individual employee is nonexempt but nevertheless performs dutieswithin the scope of one of the Computer Systems Analyst or Computer Programmeroccupations for which this wage determination does not specify an SCA wage rate,then the wage rate for that employee must be conformed in accordance with theconformance procedures described in the conformance note included on this wagedetermination.Additionally, because job titles vary widely and change quickly in the computerindustry, job titles are not determinative of the application of the computerprofessional exemption. Therefore, the exemption applies only to computer employeeswho satisfy the compensation requirements and whose primary duty consists of: (1) The application of systems analysis techniques and procedures, includingconsulting with users, to determine hardware, software or system functionalspecifications; (2) The design, development, documentation, analysis, creation, testing ormodification of computer systems or programs, including prototypes, based on andrelated to user or system design specifications; (3) The design, documentation, testing, creation or modification of computerprograms related to machine operating systems; or (4) A combination of the aforementioned duties, the performance of whichrequires the same level of skills. (29 C.F.R. 541.400).2) AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLERS AND WEATHER OBSERVERS - NIGHT PAY & SUNDAY PAY: If youwork at night as part of a regular tour of duty, you will earn a night differentialand receive an additional 10% of basic pay for any hours worked between 6pm and 6am. If you are a full-time employed (40 hours a week) and Sunday is part of yourregularly scheduled workweek, you are paid at your rate of basic pay plus a Sundaypremium of 25% of your basic rate for each hour of Sunday work which is not overtime(i.e. occasional work on Sunday outside the normal tour of duty is consideredovertime work).** HAZARDOUS PAY DIFFERENTIAL **An 8 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a high degree of hazard when working with or in close proximity toordnance, explosives, and incendiary materials. This includes work such asscreening, blending, dying, mixing, and pressing of sensitive ordnance, explosives,and pyrotechnic compositions such as lead azide, black powder and photoflash powder. All dry-house activities involving propellants or explosives. Demilitarization,modification, renovation, demolition, and maintenance operations on sensitiveordnance, explosives and incendiary materials. All operations involving re-gradingand cleaning of artillery ranges.A 4 percent differential is applicable to employees employed in a position thatrepresents a low degree of hazard when working with, or in close proximity toordnance, (or employees possibly adjacent to) explosives and incendiary materialswhich involves potential injury such as laceration of hands, face, or arms of theemployee engaged in the operation, irritation of the skin, minor burns and the like;minimal damage to immediate or adjacent work area or equipment being used. Alloperations involving, unloading, storage, and hauling of ordnance, explosive, andincendiary ordnance material other than small arms ammunition. These differentialsare only applicable to work that has been specifically designated by the agency forordnance, explosives, and incendiary material differential pay.** UNIFORM ALLOWANCE **If employees are required to wear uniforms in the performance of this contract(either by the terms of the Government contract, by the employer, by the state orlocal law, etc.), the cost of furnishing such uniforms and maintaining (bylaundering or dry cleaning) such uniforms is an expense that may not be borne by anemployee where such cost reduces the hourly rate below that required by the wagedetermination. The Department of Labor will accept payment in accordance with thefollowing standards as compliance:The contractor or subcontractor is required to furnish all employees with anadequate number of uniforms without cost or to reimburse employees for the actualcost of the uniforms. In addition, where uniform cleaning and maintenance is madethe responsibility of the employee, all contractors and subcontractors subject tothis wage determination shall (in the absence of a bona fide collective bargainingagreement providing for a different amount, or the furnishing of contraryaffirmative proof as to the actual cost), reimburse all employees for such cleaningand maintenance at a rate of $3.35 per week (or $.67 cents per day). However, inthose instances where the uniforms furnished are made of "wash and wear"materials, may be routinely washed and dried with other personal garments, and donot require any special treatment such as dry cleaning, daily washing, or commerciallaundering in order to meet the cleanliness or appearance standards set by the termsof the Government contract, by the contractor, by law, or by the nature of the work,there is no requirement that employees be reimbursed for uniform maintenance costs.** SERVICE CONTRACT ACT DIRECTORY OF OCCUPATIONS **The duties of employees under job titles listed are those described in the"Service Contract Act Directory of Occupations", Fifth Edition (Revision 1),dated September 2015, unless otherwise indicated.** REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL CLASSIFICATION AND WAGE RATE, StandardForm 1444 (SF-1444) **Conformance Process:The contracting officer shall require that any class of service employee which isnot listed herein and which is to be employed under the contract (i.e., the work tobe performed is not performed by any classification listed in the wagedetermination), be classified by the contractor so as to provide a reasonablerelationship (i.e., appropriate level of skill comparison) between such unlistedclassifications and the classifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR4.6(b)(2)(i)). Such conforming procedures shall be initiated by the contractorprior to the performance of contract work by such unlisted class(es) of employees(See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)). The Wage and Hour Division shall make a finaldetermination of conformed classification, wage rate, and/or fringe benefits whichshall be paid to all employees performing in the classification from the first dayof work on which contract work is performed by them in the classification. Failureto pay such unlisted employees the compensation agreed upon by the interestedparties and/or fully determined by the Wage and Hour Division retroactive to thedate such class of employees commenced contract work shall be a violation of the Actand this contract. (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(v)). When multiple wage determinations areincluded in a contract, a separate SF-1444 should be prepared for each wagedetermination to which a class(es) is to be conformed.The process for preparing a conformance request is as follows:1) When preparing the bid, the contractor identifies the need for a conformedoccupation(s) and computes a proposed rate(s).2) After contract award, the contractor prepares a written report listing in orderthe proposed classification title(s), a Federal grade equivalency (FGE) for eachproposed classification(s), job description(s), and rationale for proposed wagerate(s), including information regarding the agreement or disagreement of theauthorized representative of the employees involved, or where there is no authorizedrepresentative, the employees themselves. This report should be submitted to thecontracting officer no later than 30 days after such unlisted class(es) of employeesperforms any contract work.3) The contracting officer reviews the proposed action and promptly submits a reportof the action, together with the agency's recommendations and pertinentinformation including the position of the contractor and the employees, to the U.S.Department of Labor, Wage and Hour Division, for review (See 29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(ii)).4) Within 30 days of receipt, the Wage and Hour Division approves, modifies, ordisapproves the action via transmittal to the agency contracting officer, ornotifies the contracting officer that additional time will be required to processthe request.5) The contracting officer transmits the Wage and Hour Division's decision to thecontractor.6) Each affected employee shall be furnished by the contractor with a written copyof such determination or it shall be posted as a part of the wage determination (See29 CFR 4.6(b)(2)(iii)).Information required by the Regulations must be submitted on SF-1444 or bond paper.When preparing a conformance request, the "Service Contract Act Directory ofOccupations" should be used to compare job definitions to ensure that dutiesrequested are not performed by a classification already listed in the wagedetermination. Remember, it is not the job title, but the required tasks thatdetermine whether a class is included in an established wage determination.Conformances may not be used to artificially split, combine, or subdivideclassifications listed in the wage determination (See 29 CFR 4.152(c)(1)).SECTION E - SOLICITATION PROVISIONSE.1 52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 2017) (a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard.

The following provisions are incorporated into 52.212-1 as an addendum to this solicitation:(End of Addendum to 52.212-1)E.2 52.212-2 EVALUATION—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) (a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers: See addendum Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) (b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). (c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer 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.

(End of Provision) ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2, EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS 1. GENERAL. The Government anticipates awarding a Firm Fixed Price contract, using a Lowest-Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection approach, using price and non-price factors. The basis for award is expected to result from the selection of technically acceptable proposals, at the lowest evaluated price. Proposals will be evaluated for contract award in accordance with FAR 12 procedures, the solicitation terms and conditions, associated Statement of Work (SOW), and FAR Provisions 52.212-1, Instructions to Offeror's - Commercial Items and 52.212-2, Evaluation - Commercial Items. 2. BASIS OF AWARD. Proposals will be evaluated as to how well the Offeror’s proposal meets the solicitation requirements. The Government will conduct an independent technical evaluation, and proposals will be evaluated for “acceptability or unacceptability” but not ranked using the non-cost/price factors. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for all factors and sub-factors. In determining the LPTA to the Government, the non-price factors (Technical Capability) are signifyingly less importance than price. Tradeoffs are not permitted. The Government reserves the right to make awards without discussions, however exchanges may occur. 3. EVALUATION FACTORS & SIGNIFICANT SUBFACTORS. The purpose of the technical factor and significant sub-factors are to represent key areas of importance, and are used to assess whether the offeror’s proposal will satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements in making a source selection decision. Once the minimum requirements and conformity to the solicitation are met, a technical evaluation will be conducted using the following evaluation factors and sub-factors listed below, where a determination rating of "acceptable or unacceptable" will be established for each conforming offeror accordingly.Factor 1 - Technical Capability Statement Factor 2 – Past Performance Factor 3 - Price Below are the factors and significant sub-factors, and their associated evaluation criteria used in determining contract award: TECHNICAL - The Offeror's Cover Letter and Technical proposal will be evaluated to ensure that it complies with solicitation requirements, and addresses the Offeror’s capability of meeting and performing in all pertinent key areas of importance. The Offeror’s proposal must clearly demonstrate that there is an adequate, appropriate, and successful approach to meeting the Government’s needs in accordance with the solicitation terms and conditions, and associated Statement of Work (SOW). Factor 1 - Technical Capability Statement -The Offeror’s Technical Capability Statement will be evaluated to ensure that it provides a technical approach that clearly demonstrates the Offeror’s capability to execute Services per the associated SOW. Film and produce videos that are technically accurate, correct to customer’s specifications and in compliance with applicable broadcast standards within scheduled deadlines. Provide courteous, prompt customer service. Factor2- Past Performance- List 3 references for federal or local government contracts of similar scope, size, complexity that have been completed within the last three (3) years. Past performance factors will be rated on an “Acceptable/Unacceptable/ Neutral” basis. The VA may use any available data for past performance; to include the Past Performance Information Retrieval System. ? Company Name and Address ? Description of services performed ? Name, telephone number and email address of responsible individuals who first-hand knowledge of performance relative to the same type of services ? Dates of contract performance The offeror should also provide commercial samples of their work that can be viewed on Youtube. FACTOR 3 - PRICE – Offeror shall provide quoted prices based on their current schedule prices. The VA may determine that a quote is unacceptable if prices are more than available funding. All Offerors are advised that, in the interest of efficiency, the Government reserves the right to conduct the evaluation in the most effective manner.? Specifically, the Government may first evaluate the total proposed price of all Offerors.? Thereafter, the Government will evaluate the technical and past performance of the lowest priced Offeror only.? If the lowest priced Offeror's technical and past performance is determined to be rated as Acceptable, the Government may make award to that Offeror without further evaluation of the remaining Offerors' technical and past performance.? If the lowest priced Offeror's technical and past performance is determined to be rated as Unacceptable, then the Government may evaluate the next lowest priced technical and past performance, and so forth and so on, until the Government reaches the lowest priced technical and past performance that is determined to be?rated as Acceptable.? However, the Government reserves the right to evaluate all Offerors' technical and past performance should it desire to conduct discussions, or otherwise determine it to be in the Government's best interest. Failure to submit a complete quote may result in the submission being deemed technically unacceptable. ................
