( see “Telecommunications and Computer Services” below) The Contractor must maintain the required licensing and accreditation throughout the life of the contract 4. Licensing and Accreditation:Contractor shall have all licenses, permits, accreditation and certificates required by law.Shall include CLIA and NYSDOH for both the primary lab and all subcontracted labsContractor shall be accredited by the College of American Pathologists (CAP).Laboratory Director shall be a licensed American Board of Pathology certified pathologist or appropriately certified bio-analyst.5. Telecommunications and Computer ServicesEach VAMC Laboratory will be given the capacity to order lab testing in the following manner.Telecommunications Linkage:The contractor must have a secure web based portal available to allow test ordering and result retrieval. The contractor must show that this portal meets VA requirements for encryption of sensitive patient information: FIPS-140-2 () The contractor is responsible for all supplies required for transmission of orders and test results and the preventive and as-needed maintenance of the system. Contractor will also be available to train VAMC staff on the use of the system. An alternate method of sending orders/receiving results shall be in place in the event of this system down time.A Shipping manifest must be able to be generated that identifies the specimens sent to the reference laboratory, transportation conditions, and testing ordered.An electronic interface capability (bi-directional) system:The Contractor must meet all Cyber Security requirements to establish an interconnection with the VA system for transfer of test ordering and test results via the appropriate Laboratory Electronic Data Interchange protocol. Protocol requires a national MOU/ISA (Memorandum of Understanding/ Interconnection Security Agreement) with all current CRISP (Continuous Readiness in Information Security Program) and FIPS 140-2 (Federal Information Processing Standard) language relevant for connections through site to site VPN or a web based internet connection.There are three basic types of authorized connections. (The connection types are described below). The ECSIP team will have the ultimate decision on which connection type is appropriate. The interface shall be designed for single data interface access for all of VISN 2 The interface shall allow generation of manifests to identify the specimens to be sent to the reference lab.Upon receipt of test results, VA staff shall be able to review/validate test results before release. The Contractor shall be responsible for purchase of any licenses for middleware products such as Data Innovations, and hardware for any middleware or interface structure.Timeline for implementation- within the first 3 months of contract award, the following must be completed:Contractor must assist VISN 2 Lab staff with the update of the test database by providing all information required to create new test files for required tests( example of needed information; sample requirement, shipping temperature, reference ranges, CPT codes, LOINC codes…etc.) Interface portal must be connected and approved, to include any required hardware such as dedicated printers for labels and results.Interface validation must be completed on the tests that have been updated in the database during that 3 month time period.Provide a process for manual requisitions in the event of computer down time or unusual test requests. External users shall be classified in one of three distinct categories: 1) client-to-site VPN, 2) site to-site VPN, or 3) Business Partner Gateways. Table 1.1 below shall be utilized to in assist users to determine the category for a particular connection. Client-to-Site VPNs satisfy remote connectivity for small groups of external users (IE <50) that require access to VA internal resources. Non VA users are restricted to specific internal IP addresses identified by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) where external business partners should have access to the minimum resources required to meet contractual obligations. Site-to-Site VPNs are connections to external business partners that terminate in an ECSIP gateway. These connections will then be routed across the VA WAN to the requisite VA facility resources as defined by firewall policy.Business Partner Gateways (BPGs) are connections to external business partners that terminate at the requisite VA facility and do not traverse the VA WAN. These connections will be limited in number based on the Chief Information Officer (CIO) requirement definitions.Table 1.1 Connectivity RequirementClient-to-Site VPNSite-to-Site VPNBusiness Partner GatewaySmall Number of Users- If the number of user accounts the Information Security Officer (ISO) must administer is manageable. A client-to-site connection will usually suffice.XNumerous Users - Having a significant number of client-to-site user accounts to manage may justify a site-to-site VPN.XPersistent Connection Required - The need to maintain continuous connectivity can usually be supported with a site- to-site VPN.XXHigh Bandwidth- A large volume of traffic may be a valid need to establish or maintain a Business Partner Gateway (BPG) connection (0 prevent certain traffic from traversing the VA WAN. As an example, a medical teaching University supported by a VA Hospital that sends large radiological images on a regular basis. This could have a detrimental impact on the VA WAN if that traffic traverses the WAN through a VPN connection.XService Level Agreements- SLAs that guarantee specific levels of support to contracted agencies that could not be provided using a One-VA VPN may also justify a BPG connection.XHigh Availability- Availability of critical business processes, such as financial and medical applications, may justify maintaining a BPG to minimize the risk of financial and personal health data loss.XSensitive Information- Every effort should be made to protect sensitive information. Although protection mechanisms are in place, there are still risks associated with transmitting sensitive data across any network, to include the VA WAN. Although the One-VA VPN satisfies this requirement, the sensitivity of the data may be such that additional precautions are warranted.XXServer-to-Server Connections - In most cases, a site-to-site VPN can be used to support external server connections.XXLAN Extensions- LAN extensions to the VA WAN may be supported with a site-to-site VPN. In order to qualify for a LAN extension, VA must control both physical AND logical security at the site.XRequirements- A requirement for protocols not currently supported in the VA firewall policy and would be a significant security risk 10the VA WAN is a candidate for a site-to-site VPN connection. XXAny Contractor personnel who requires administrative or programmer access to a Federal computer system during the set up or maintenance of the computer interface shall have a background investigation commensurate with the level of access granted as determined by VA personnel. Additional VA security training will be required before access is granted, and annually as applicable. The cost of a Background Investigation would be paid by the contractor.The Contractor shall provide a single knowledgeable point of contact for researching correct test information, point(s) of contact for developing, testing, and implementing a client/vendor interface, and then an ongoing point of contact for troubleshooting interface problems.Any equipment provided by the Contractor to VA that contains a storage device that when the device is powered down VA sensitive data remains on it must be sanitized prior to removal from the VA premises, must become the property of the Federal Government and remain on Federal property, or must be destroyed in accordance with Department of Veterans Affairs regulations at the time of removal (device decommissioning). Data required by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Account of 1996 (HIPAA) to remain on equipment located on Contractor's property must be safeguarded in accordance with HIPAA, and this information must be destroyed in accordance with VA requirements when no longer required by HIPAA to be held by the vendor. The Contractor reference laboratory must meet VA information security and HIPAA requirements, and must be able to interface with the current or any new interface partner of the Laboratory Information System. The Contractor shall require all personnel with VA access complete the VAH privacy training prior to starting services.The Contractor shall notify the facility Privacy Officer (PO) immediately with the list of patient names if any breach of computer security or privacy incident is suspected.The Contractor shall provide the following interface requirements:LIS physical connection and translation (drivers)Any required (additional) interface connection license(s)Provide documentation of successful interfacing with other VA facilities (provide two VAMC references)Interface must transmit test results to the host computer via automatic uploadA completed and signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA) may be required from the contractor prior to start of services.6.

When requesting repeat tests, the VA physician or designated representative shall explain the condition(s) of the patient or any discrepancies observed. The Contractor shall notify the VA COR or designee of instances, that in the professional judgment of the Contractor, the patient requires services or tests that were not originally requested.Any changes to test methodology, specimen requirements and reference ranges must be communicated to the VAMC laboratories at least 30 days prior to implementation. 8. Test ResultsThe Contractor shall provide routine test results to the ordering VA facility within twenty-four (24) hours following test completion. Expected turnaround time for tests on the test list must be met. It is required that hard copies of each final report, whether test request was sent through the interface or web portal, will automatically print at the ordering site once it is finalized. A report is defined as a printed final copy of laboratory testing results. This report shall be received by remote terminal where applicable.

The contractor shall not require employees or contractors seeking to report fraud, waste or abuse to sign or comply with internal confidentiality agreements or statements prohibiting or otherwise restricting such employees or subcontractors from lawfully reporting such waste, fraud, or abuse to a designated investigative or law enforcement representative of a Federal department or agency authorized to receive such information. (b) The contractor shall notify employees that the prohibitions and restrictions of any internal confidentiality agreements covered by this clause are no longer in effect. (c) The prohibition in paragraph (a) of this clause does not contravene requirements applicable to Standard Form 312, Form 4414, or any other form issued by a Federal department or agency governing the nondisclosure of classified information. (d)(1) In accordance with section 743 of Division E, Title VII, of the Consolidated and Further Continuing Resolution Appropriations Act, 2015 (Pub.

(End of Clause)C.2 52.212-4 CONTRACT TERMS AND CONDITIONS—COMMERCIAL ITEMS (DEC 2014) (a) Inspection/Acceptance. The Contractor shall only tender for acceptance those items that conform to the requirements of this contract. The Government reserves the right to inspect or test any supplies or services that have been tendered for acceptance. The Government may require repair or replacement of nonconforming supplies or re-performance of nonconforming services at no increase in contract price. If repair/replacement or re-performance will not correct the defects or is not possible, the Government may seek an equitable price reduction or adequate consideration for acceptance of nonconforming supplies or services. The Government must exercise its post-acceptance rights— (1) Within a reasonable time after the defect was discovered or should have been discovered; and (2) Before any substantial change occurs in the condition of the item, unless the change is due to the defect in the item. (b) Assignment. The Contractor or its assignee may assign its rights to receive payment due as a result of performance of this contract to a bank, trust company, or other financing institution, including any Federal lending agency in accordance with the Assignment of Claims Act (31 U.S.C. 3727). However, when a third party makes payment (e.g., use of the Government-wide commercial purchase card), the Contractor may not assign its rights to receive payment under this contract. (c) Changes. Changes in the terms and conditions of this contract may be made only by written agreement of the parties. (d) Disputes. This contract is subject to 41 U.S.C. Chapter 71, Contract Disputes.

The Contractor shall proceed diligently with performance of this contract, pending final resolution of any dispute arising under the contract. (e) Definitions. The clause at FAR 52.202-1, Definitions, is incorporated herein by reference. (f) Excusable delays.

(C) EFT banking information is not required if the Government waived the requirement to pay by EFT. (2) Invoices will be handled in accordance with the Prompt Payment Act (31 U.S.C. 3903) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) prompt payment regulations at 5 CFR part 1315. (h) Patent indemnity. The Contractor shall indemnify the Government and its officers, employees and agents against liability, including costs, for actual or alleged direct or contributory infringement of, or inducement to infringe, any United States or foreign patent, trademark or copyright, arising out of the performance of this contract, provided the Contractor is reasonably notified of such claims and proceedings.

(5) Overpayments. If the Contractor becomes aware of a duplicate contract financing or invoice payment or that the Government has otherwise overpaid on a contract financing or invoice payment, the Contractor shall— (i) Remit the overpayment amount to the payment office cited in the contract along with a description of the overpayment including the— (A) Circumstances of the overpayment (e.g., duplicate payment, erroneous payment, liquidation errors, date(s) of overpayment); (B) Affected contract number and delivery order number, if applicable; (C) Affected contract line item or subline item, if applicable; and (D) Contractor point of contact. (ii) Provide a copy of the remittance and supporting documentation to the Contracting Officer. (6) Interest. (i) All amounts that become payable by the Contractor to the Government under this contract shall bear simple interest from the date due until paid unless paid within 30 days of becoming due. The interest rate shall be the interest rate established by the Secretary of the Treasury as provided in 41 U.S.C. 7109, which is applicable to the period in which the amount becomes due, as provided in (i)(6)(v) of this clause, and then at the rate applicable for each six-month period as fixed by the Secretary until the amount is paid. (ii) The Government may issue a demand for payment to the Contractor upon finding a debt is due under the contract. (iii) Final decisions.

(iv) If a demand for payment was previously issued for the debt, the demand for payment included in the final decision shall identify the same due date as the original demand for payment. (v) Amounts shall be due at the earliest of the following dates: (A) The date fixed under this contract. (B) The date of the first written demand for payment, including any demand for payment resulting from a default termination. (vi) The interest charge shall be computed for the actual number of calendar days involved beginning on the due date and ending on— (A) The date on which the designated office receives payment from the Contractor; (B) The date of issuance of a Government check to the Contractor from which an amount otherwise payable has been withheld as a credit against the contract debt; or (C) The date on which an amount withheld and applied to the contract debt would otherwise have become payable to the Contractor. (vii) The interest charge made under this clause may be reduced under the procedures prescribed in 32.608-2 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation in effect on the date of this contract. (j) Risk of loss. Unless the contract specifically provides otherwise, risk of loss or damage to the supplies provided under this contract shall remain with the Contractor until, and shall pass to the Government upon: (1) Delivery of the supplies to a carrier, if transportation is f.o.b. origin; or (2) Delivery of the supplies to the Government at the destination specified in the contract, if transportation is f.o.b. destination. (k) Taxes. The contract price includes all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes and duties. (l) Termination for the Government's convenience. The Government reserves the right to terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for its sole convenience. In the event of such termination, the Contractor shall immediately stop all work hereunder and shall immediately cause any and all of its suppliers and subcontractors to cease work. Subject to the terms of this contract, the Contractor shall be paid a percentage of the contract price reflecting the percentage of the work performed prior to the notice of termination, plus reasonable charges the Contractor can demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Government using its standard record keeping system, have resulted from the termination. The Contractor shall not be required to comply with the cost accounting standards or contract cost principles for this purpose. This paragraph does not give the Government any right to audit the Contractor's records. The Contractor shall not be paid for any work performed or costs incurred which reasonably could have been avoided. (m) Termination for cause. The Government may terminate this contract, or any part hereof, for cause in the event of any default by the Contractor, or if the Contractor fails to comply with any contract terms and conditions, or fails to provide the Government, upon request, with adequate assurances of future performance. In the event of termination for cause, the Government shall not be liable to the Contractor for any amount for supplies or services not accepted, and the Contractor shall be liable to the Government for any and all rights and remedies provided by law. If it is determined that the Government improperly terminated this contract for default, such termination shall be deemed a termination for convenience. (n) Title. Unless specified elsewhere in this contract, title to items furnished under this contract shall pass to the Government upon acceptance, regardless of when or where the Government takes physical possession. (o) Warranty. The Contractor warrants and implies that the items delivered hereunder are merchantable and fit for use for the particular purpose described in this contract. (p) Limitation of liability. Except as otherwise provided by an express warranty, the Contractor will not be liable to the Government for consequential damages resulting from any defect or deficiencies in accepted items. (q) Other compliances. The Contractor shall comply with all applicable Federal, State and local laws, executive orders, rules and regulations applicable to its performance under this contract. (r) Compliance with laws unique to Government contracts. The Contractor agrees to comply with 31 U.S.C. 1352 relating to limitations on the use of appropriated funds to influence certain Federal contracts; 18 U.S.C. 431 relating to officials not to benefit; 40 U.S.C. chapter 37, Contract Work Hours and Safety Standards; 41 U.S.C. chapter 87, Kickbacks; 41 U.S.C. 4712 and 10 U.S.C. 2409 relating to whistleblower protections; 49 U.S.C. 40118, Fly American; and 41 U.S.C. chapter 21 relating to procurement integrity. (s) Order of precedence. Any inconsistencies in this solicitation or contract shall be resolved by giving precedence in the following order: (1) The schedule of supplies/services. (2) The Assignments, Disputes, Payments, Invoice, Other Compliances, Compliance with Laws Unique to Government Contracts, and Unauthorized Obligations paragraphs of this clause; (3) The clause at 52.212-5. (4) Addenda to this solicitation or contract, including any license agreements for computer software. (5) Solicitation provisions if this is a solicitation. (6) Other paragraphs of this clause. (7) The Standard Form 1449. (8) Other documents, exhibits, and attachments (9) The specification. (t) System for Award Management (SAM). (1) Unless exempted by an addendum to this contract, the Contractor is responsible during performance and through final payment of any contract for the accuracy and completeness of the data within the SAM database, and for any liability resulting from the Government's reliance on inaccurate or incomplete data. To remain registered in the SAM database after the initial registration, the Contractor is required to review and update on an annual basis from the date of initial registration or subsequent updates its information in the SAM database to ensure it is current, accurate and complete. Updating information in the SAM does not alter the terms and conditions of this contract and is not a substitute for a properly executed contractual document. (2)(i) If a Contractor has legally changed its business name, "doing business as" name, or division name (whichever is shown on the contract), or has transferred the assets used in performing the contract, but has not completed the necessary requirements regarding novation and change-of-name agreements in FAR subpart 42.12, the Contractor shall provide the responsible Contracting Officer a minimum of one business day's written notification of its intention to (A) change the name in the SAM database; (B) comply with the requirements of subpart 42.12; and (C) agree in writing to the timeline and procedures specified by the responsible Contracting Officer. The Contractor must provide with the notification sufficient documentation to support the legally changed name. (ii) If the Contractor fails to comply with the requirements of paragraph (t)(2)(i) of this clause, or fails to perform the agreement at paragraph (t)(2)(i)(C) of this clause, and, in the absence of a properly executed novation or change-of-name agreement, the SAM information that shows the Contractor to be other than the Contractor indicated in the contract will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of Payment" paragraph of the electronic funds transfer (EFT) clause of this contract. (3) The Contractor shall not change the name or address for EFT payments or manual payments, as appropriate, in the SAM record to reflect an assignee for the purpose of assignment of claims (see Subpart 32.8, Assignment of Claims). Assignees shall be separately registered in the SAM database. Information provided to the Contractor's SAM record that indicates payments, including those made by EFT, to an ultimate recipient other than that Contractor will be considered to be incorrect information within the meaning of the "Suspension of payment" paragraph of the EFT clause of this contract. (4) Offerors and Contractors may obtain information on registration and annual confirmation requirements via SAM accessed through . (u) Unauthorized Obligations. (1) Except as stated in paragraph (u)(2) of this clause, when any supply or service acquired under this contract is subject to any End User License Agreement (EULA), Terms of Service (TOS), or similar legal instrument or agreement, that includes any clause requiring the Government to indemnify the Contractor or any person or entity for damages, costs, fees, or any other loss or liability that would create an Anti-Deficiency Act violation (31 U.S.C. 1341), the following shall govern: (i) Any such clause is unenforceable against the Government. (ii) Neither the Government nor any Government authorized end user shall be deemed to have agreed to such clause by virtue of it appearing in the EULA, TOS, or similar legal instrument or agreement.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:The Government will evaluate proposals and may award a contract at any point after review of the offers as submitted, without discussions. Therefore, the initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. There will be no public opening of the offers.Failure to provide all information requested will adversely affect the evaluation of an offer. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the solicitation will be considered to be less than fully acceptable. The information submitted should be complete and concise, but not overly elaborate. Reliance on promotional brochures, except where specifically required, is discouraged. If information is applicable to more than one evaluation criterion, it must be repeated for each criterion where it is applicable. All commitments made in the proposal, if accepted by the Government, will become part of the resultant contract.Offerors that include in their proposals data that they do not want disclosed to the public for any purpose, or used by the Government except for evaluation purposes shall mark the title page with the following legend: “This proposal includes data that shall not be disclosed outside the Government and shall not be duplicated, used, or disclosed—in whole or in part—for any purpose other than to evaluate this proposal. If, however, a contract is awarded to this offeror as a result of—or in connection with—the submission of this data, the Government shall have the right to duplicate, use, or disclose the data to the extent provided in the resulting contract. This restriction does not limit the Government's right to use information contained in this data if it is obtained from another source without restriction. The data subject to this restriction are contained in sheets [insert numbers or other identification of sheets].”(2) Mark each sheet of data the Offeror wishes to restrict with the following legend: “Use or disclosure of data contained on this sheet is subject to the restriction on the title page of this proposal”SELECTION CRITERIA AND EVALUATION FACTORS: Proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the below listed evaluation factors and significant sub-factors that establish the Government’s requirements of technical acceptability for this solicitation. Evaluation factors and significant sub-factors are as follows: Technical Capability, Past Experience, Past Performance, and Price.Award will be made on the basis of the lowest price, technically acceptable offer (LPTA) (non-cost Factors A, B and C) after price (Factor D) is determined fair and reasonable; therefore, it is anticipated that a firm-fixed price contract will be awarded to the responsible offeror that offers the lowest price, technically acceptable offer in response to this Request for Proposals. Proposals will be reviewed by qualified evaluators to initially determine their acceptability. Each proposal must contain all the information required by the RFP.
