II. PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT
Oregon National Guard
FY18 OR-CERFP Collective Training Exercise(s) (CTE)
Role Player, Rubble Pile Reset and Life Support
Short Title: OR (CTE) Role Player/Reset/Life Support
09-12 July 2019
1. Background: The Oregon National Guard use Structure Collapse Simulators (SCS) to simulate the collapsed state of buildings due to a natural disaster or a domestic terrorism event. The use of these simulator venues supports regional training and exercises to enhancing domestic contingency preparedness exercises and evaluations of Oregon National Guard Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Enhanced Response Force Package. A Structure Collapse Venue Site (SCVS) is a location where one or more SCS are used to simulate the collapsed state of buildings. These SCVS and surrounding areas were built up to be realistic, challenging, maintainable, and to provide the needed skill lanes located in Warrington, Oregon on Camp Rilea. The training venue provides command and tactical skill challenges of such complexity that repetitiveness does not breed familiarity with the training prop and training lanes. The SCVS is of sufficient size and complexity to keep Oregon Guard teams training in a realistic condition and environment so individuals gain valuable experience and expertise working on a simulated “real world” incident.
In addition, The NGB J3/7 provides the Chief, National Guard Bureau (CNGB) with subject matter expertise on joint doctrine, training, education, and exercises to ensure a trained and balanced National Guard force ready to support any mission of the several States or Combatant Commanders. The NGB J3/7 is tasked to develop and support regional training and exercise activities aimed at enhancing domestic contingency readiness. NGB J3/7 ensures these functions are integrated and complementary where appropriate. NGB uses role players to simulate realistic conditions encountered by National Guard responders in a natural disaster or domestic terrorism event. The use of role players is required to support regional training and exercises to enhance domestic contingency preparedness exercises and evaluations of CBRN Enhanced Response Force Package (CERFP), Homeland Response Force (HRF) and other CBRN response capabilities

If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.
b. (2)
i. (i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and-

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Certification Regarding Responsibility Matters (Executive Order 12689). (Applies only if the contract value is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold.) The offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that the offeror and/or any of its principals–
(1) [_] Are, [_] are not presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;
(2) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a Federal, state or local government contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or state antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property; and

(4) [_] Have, [_] have not, within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds $3,500 for which the liability remains unsatisfied.
(i) Taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:
(A) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.
(B) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.
(ii) Examples.
(A) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. §6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appear rights.
(B) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. §6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals Contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing. In the course of the hearing, the taxpayer is entitled to contest the underlying tax liability because the taxpayer has had no prior opportunity to contest the liability. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek tax court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.
(C) The taxpayer has entered into an installment agreement pursuant to I.R.C. §6159. The taxpayer is making timely payments and is in full compliance with the agreement terms. The taxpayer is not delinquent because the taxpayer is not currently required to make full payment.
(D) The taxpayer has filed for bankruptcy protection. The taxpayer is not delinquent because enforced collection action is stayed under 11 U.S.C. §362 (the Bankruptcy Code).
(i) Certification Regarding Knowledge of Child Labor for Listed End Products (Executive Order 13126). [The Contracting Officer must list in paragraph (i)(1) any end products being acquired under this solicitation that are included in the List of Products Requiring Contractor Certification as to Forced or Indentured Child Labor, unless excluded at 22.1503(b).]
