$56,807.07 Brand Name Justification:

Within the NRC/ADM/DFS, the Multimedia and Graphics Teams of the MGSDB have used Macintosh computers, servers, and software to produce materials for the NRC since the year 2000.

The Graphics Team has over nineteen years of archived files saved on a Macintosh file server, Iomega Zip, Jazz drives, CDs and DVDs. These older files were produced on the Macintosh platform using Macintosh software from Aldus, Adobe, Quark and AutoDesk. Files range from small jobs like event posters and flyers to mission critical projects, publications in the NRC NUREG series, Agency Financial Reports, NRC Regulatory Information Conference (RIC) materials, annual reports from the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the NRC Information Digest publications.

The Graphics and Multimedia Teams will face problems dealing with compatibility and conversion issues if any other brand, other than Macintosh is purchased.

The NRC has over nineteen years of archived files that were produced on the Macintosh platform using Macintosh OS software such as, Adobe Creative Suite, iMovie, iPhoto, Final Cut Pro, SaNmp, and CatDV. Converting these archived files for both teams from Macintosh environments to Windows environments would present the following challenges:

Time consuming: Converting files from Macintosh to Windows is very costly and time consuming due to the fundamental differences in operating systems and how they deal with typography, color and print production. Many times, the designer, printer or contractor will choose to recreate a job from scratch rather than try and convert from Macintosh to Windows because of the time involved in troubleshooting errors, many of which are not apparent until the electronic files have been converted into files used by commercial printing presses.

DO/TO NNG15SD39B/31310019F0141 Page 6 of 14

Risky: The conversion of files from Macintosh to Windows format will introduce formatting errors in documents that have been previously approved and vetted by NRC senior management. Correcting these errors will be time consuming and will require documents to enter the editorial process.

Resources used for design, editing, manuscript review, program office approval and NRC Senior management approval will be severely impacted.

Historically Problematic: Each font allocates a specific amount of space per character. If fonts are changed during the conversion process, page formatting changes accordingly. Common problems include the introduction of incorrect page breaks, page count changes, and changes in embedded objects (photographs, pictures, tables) in reference to the wording. During the commercial printing process, documents MUST be divisible by four for the document to be properly bound.

Incompatibility: Most files would need to be rebuilt from scratch, due to incompatibility issues between the Macintosh operating system and Windows operating systems concerning fonts and subtle differences in the way the design software works on the two different operating systems. Macintosh laptops will ensure compatibility with the 19 years worth of stored files and can be opened and used without the need of rework and conversion from Macintosh to PC.

Offers that propose delivery that will not clearly fall within the applicable required delivery period specified above, will be considered nonresponsive and rejected. The Government reserves the right to award under either the required delivery schedule or the proposed delivery schedule, when an offeror offers an earlier delivery schedule than required above. If the offeror proposes no other delivery schedule, the required delivery schedule above will apply.

Offeror's Proposed Delivery Schedule Item No.

Quantity Within Days After Date of Contract (b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the Contractor's date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding (1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or (2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term working day excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

(b) If the Government terminates this contract in whole or in part under the Default - Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause, the Contractor is liable for liquidated damages accruing until the Government reasonably obtains delivery or performance of similar supplies or services. These liquidated damages are in addition to excess costs of repurchase under the Termination clause.

(c) The Contractor will not be charged with liquidated damages when the delay in delivery or performance is beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor as defined in the Default - Fixed-Price Supply and Service clause in this contract.

(End of clause) 52.217-6 OPTION FOR INCREASED QUANTITY. (MAR 1989)
