Specifications For
Subscription to Force and Asset Search Tool (FAAST)
1.0 General:
1.1 Scope: The contractor shall provide access to FAAST, a software application (a supply), to all requested Tennessee Army National Guard (TNARNG) personnel in order to conduct asset visibility searches and provide requested functionality of the FAAST transportation module.
1.2 Background: As units participate in both local and contingency operations, movement of equipment and personnel requires visibility at all levels within the chain of command. TNARNG currently does not have a system in place allowing one-stop- shop for the transportation for both equipment and personnel. TNARNG requires an application allowing transportation movement requests (TMRs) to be processed through the approval levels while maintaining visibility to the entire chain of command. In addition to transportation restrictions, units struggle to keep track of and obtain total visibility of their equipment. Global Combat Support System (GCSS)-Army, the current property accountability system of record, restricts visibility of unit equipment through permission settings. This restriction inhibits the chain of command in seeing the ‘full picture’ of their equipment posture.
1.3 Period of Performance: The period of performance will be one (1) Base Year of 12 months and two (2) 12-month option years.
1.4 General Information:
1.4.1 Quality Control (QC):

1.4.2. Place and Performance Services:
1.4.2.1. The contractor shall provide access to FAAST software and the required functionality, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and 365 days per year.

The system shall be off line for scheduled maintenance during off duty hours only (8 P.M. to 5 A.M. Central Standard Time (CST)). Notification shall be sent to all TNARNG users prior to any scheduled disruption in service. The system shall be off line no more than a total of four (4) hours during normal duty hours (6 A.M. to 8 P.M. CST) per month.
1.4.2.2. The contractor shall approve and provide system access to all TNARNG personnel requesting view only user roles (no quantity limitation on roles). The Government will approve roles other than view-only. The contractor shall submit all roles other than view-only to the designated Government point of contact before granting access.
1.4.2.3. The Government shall provide the contractor the TNARNG task organization and any changes thereafter until subscription expires. The contractor shall update the software to reflect any updated task organization changes within 24 hours of receipt.
1.4.2.4. The contractor shall provide asset visibility within FAAST to TNARNG users within 5 days of contract award and receiving the Government provided task organization in order to align the TNARNG force tree in FAAST.
1.4.2.5. The contractor shall provide access to a fully functional transportation module within four (4) weeks of contract award. Fully functional defined by ability to provide technical requirements as identified in Technical Exhibit 1.

1.4.2.7. The contractor shall provide a total of two (2), one (1) day training events. The training events will be conducted on-site at the Governments designated location and will consist of two (2) hands-on, real-time access instructional blocks of instruction. The blocks of instruction will consist of (1) How to use FAAST for asset visibility and property accountability search requirements (as listed in Technical Exhibit 1) and (2) The transportation module functionality (as listed in Technical Exhibit 1). The training days may not be consecutive and may be a different audience. The Government shall supply all equipment necessary for the training event.
1.4.2.8. The contractor shall provide an electronic FAAST “user’s manual” specifically oriented for use by the TNARNG, i.e. focusing on “how to” use the requested functions and “how to” produce the requested reports as mentioned in Technical Exhibit 1.

52.212-2 — Evaluation — Commercial Items.
As prescribed in 12.301(c), the Contracting Officer may insert a provision substantially as follows:
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:
1. The Government shall perform a technical analysis of offerors proposal. To be technically acceptable the vendor must provide all deliverable on Technical Exhibit 1 on the Specifications. The vendor must provide a narrative explanation on each deliverables.
2. Past Performance within 3 years to include contract number(s)
3. Must be active in System of Award Management (SAM) as of the date of submission
4. Price
Technical and past performance, when combined, are more important than price. Numbers 1-4 above are listed from greatest importance to least.
(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).
As part of the price evaluation, the Government will evaluate the option to extend Services under FAR clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the Offeror’s final option period price to the Offeror’s total price. Thus, the Offeror’s total price for the purpose of the evaluation (i.e. Total Evaluated Price) will include the base period, total of options, and one-half of the last year option to determine the price basis. Offerors are required only to price the base and the four one-year options. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period.
(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. Before the offer’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
