This is a firm-fixed price type of purchase order.

B. The prices listed below shall include all labor, materials, overhead, profit, and transportation necessary to deliver the required items on the date and to the location stated in paragraph IV, Delivery Instructions.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally.

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.

GUIDE FOR DUNS, NCAGE AND SAM REGISTRATION

BACKGROUND:

To be eligible for an award, all prospective Offerors shall have a unique nine digit Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number; a Commercial and Government Entity (Cage)/North Atlantic Treaty Organization (Nato) = (NCage) Code; and register to System for Award Management (SAM). Refer to FAR 4.605(b). For further guidance see the two attachments at the end of this Attachment.Vendors have experienced difficulty registering in SAM. One of the most common issues is inaccurate address validation. SAM first validates that NATO Commercial and Government Entities (NCAGE) and Dun & Bradstreet (DUNS) addresses match. Following that, there is a check that the DUNS address matches what the entity has on file with their national central bank (NCB). The NCB address is pulled from the vendor’s primary bank account. Because SAM compares NCAGE and DUNS addresses before comparing DUNS and NCB addresses, entities occasionally correct addresses in both DUNS and NCAGE systems only to find out that they have to change those addresses again to match their NCB address.NOTE: it is very important that each company/entity register with their fiscal company name and address in DUNS, NCAGE as well as in SAM and without misspelling/typos. The information shall match and be exactly the same on all registrations, if not; the process will take a minimum of four months.

DUNS NUMBER:

Offerors need a Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) number to register their entity in SAM. DUNS numbers are unique for each physical location to be registered.Offerors can request a DUNS number for free to do business with the U.S. Federal government by visiting Dun & Bradstreet (D&B) athttp://fedgov.dnb.com/webformIt takes up to 5 business days to obtain an international DUNS number.

NATO COMMERCIAL AND GOVERNMENT ENTITY (NCAGE) CODE:

Foreign entities shall obtain a NCAGE code for each DUNS number they plan to register in SAM before you start the registration process. Make sure the name and address information provided to obtain the NCAGE code matches that of the DUNS number. Allow up to three (3) business days to receive the NCAGE code.The direct link to an online NCAGE request form is:https://eportal.nspa.nato.int/AC135Public/scage/CageList.aspx
