TEAMING ARRANGEMENTS Clause Samples
TEAMING ARRANGEMENTS. In accordance with FAR 9.6, a contractor team arrangement is defined when two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or a potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified Government contract or acquisition program. The Offeror shall provide a matrix of all proposed subcontractors/team members and the Market Segment within the SOO for which they will be utilized. The matrix shall clearly identify the CAGE and DUNS for each team member. The Offeror shall provide all Teaming Arrangements and/or Letters of Commitment from first- tier subcontractors (first page and signature page of each agreement). The Government will consider the Offeror and first-tier subcontractor(s) as a whole “Team” when signed Teaming Arrangement(s) and/or Letter(s) of Commitment is/are submitted with the proposal. In the absence of these documents, the Offeror and its first-tier subcontractor(s) will not be considered a “Team” and will not be evaluated as such. NOTE: An Offeror has the opportunity to select which Market Segment(s) the Offeror wants to submit a proposal for. The Offeror is restricted to one prime proposal and one subcontractor proposal per Market Segment. That is, they cannot be on multiple teams in a subcontractor role within one Market Segment but can be on multiple teams not in the same Market Segment. Also, if the Offeror is proposing only in the subcontractor position, then they can only be on one team in a subcontractor role within a Market Segment.
TEAMING ARRANGEMENTS a. The awardee’s first-tier subcontractors are considered “team members.” In the event that the teaming arrangement is dissolved or significantly changed, the Government reserves the right to reconsider the suitability of the changed arrangements for purposes of issuing task orders. Should it become advantageous to deviate from the initial teaming arrangement, the contractor should request approval from the KO before making such arrangements.
b. This does not authorize contractor team arrangements in violation of antitrust statutes or limit the Government’s right to require consent to subcontract. The prime contractor is held fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any teaming arrangement between the prime contractor and its subcontractors.
c. Notwithstanding the above teaming arrangement and issues relating to consent, all teaming arrangements (subcontract) pricing must be supported in accordance with FAR 15.404-3. Subcontract cost and pricing data, as appropriate, should be present in task order proposals.
d. The following first-tier subcontractors were evaluated during source selection and/or were later added during contract performance and are considered to be team members: (Will be incorporated at time of award).
