The provisions of the French Defense Code, Interministerial General Instruction no. 1300 on the protection of national defense secrets (hereinafter referred to as "IGI 1300" - Order of August 9, 2021 approving the said instruction), Ministerial Instruction n° 900 on the protection of secrecy and restricted and sensitive information (known as "IM 900" in the following text - Order of March 15, 2021 approving the said instruction), the penal code and specific regulations as well as those of the prevention plan for each right-of-way concerned will be applicable according to the category of right-of-way concerned. The draft contract which is the subject of the present notice provides for the possibility for the contracting authority to implement an administrative inquiry for intelligence and security purposes with regard to natural and legal persons from outside the Ministry of the Armed Forces who may be required to work on a Ministry of the Armed Forces right-of-way under the present contract. This administrative inquiry, prior to access to sensitive sites, will be strictly regulated by each right-of-way. It is used to authorize or refuse access to the Ministry site. Operators concerned should contact the site manager or representative in good time to find out the precise access requirements. In the event of access to areas covered by different regimes, the most stringent regime will be applied. d) Measures to control access by external operators to sites not under the control of the Ministry of the Armed Forces, but covered by special protection regimes (e.g. airports) The present draft contract provides for access to areas covered by different protection regimes. In such cases, the most stringent regime will be implemented by the site manager with regard to the individual operator and the legal entity to which he/she belongs. The operators concerned must contact the site manager or his representative, with sufficient advance notice, to find out about the precise obligations in terms of access. e) Constraints linked to the protection of secrecy envisaged for the contract. The procurement project covered by this notice is sensitive, in accordance with the provisions of article 5.3.2 of IGI 1300 on the protection of national defense secrets and of IM 900 on the protection of secrecy and restricted and sensitive information. The legal entity applying for this sensitive procurement project may be subject to an administrative inquiry for intelligence and security under the conditions set out in point 3.9 of IM 900. In view of the sensitive nature of the contract, personnel (notably of the contractor, a subcontractor or any other economic operator) who are to carry out the contract on Ministry of the Armed Forces sites, will be subject to an administrative inquiry for intelligence and security purposes on the basis of information sent to the administration in advance. f) Methods of transmitting bids (excluding elements relating to the protection of secrecy) : Pursuant to articles R. 2332-9 to R. 2332-16 of the French Public Order Code, electronic transmission of application and tender documents is authorized. Envelopes may be transmitted either electronically via the French government's purchasing platform (PLACE), or on a physical medium (paper, USB key). NOTE: Electronic signature of documents submitted at the application stage is not mandatory. The provisions below relating to electronic signature apply to candidates wishing to voluntarily sign the documents submitted as part of their application. The other provisions relating to the conditions for sending bids electronically apply to all candidates. Conditions for sending bids electronically: 1) How to download the tender documents The tender documents can be downloaded from the French government purchasing platform (PLACE) at www.marchespublics.gouv.fr or via the portals www. armement.defense.gouv.fr and www.achats.defense.gouv.fr . This can be done either by logging in, so as to be informed of any changes to the tender documents, or by downloading them anonymously. To be informed of exchanges with the purchaser, the economic operator must check that the address for exchanges with the PLACE 'nepasrepondre marches-publics.gouv.fr' is accessible or whitelisted to bypass the proxy server filters used by companies. This procedure consists of an application phase and a tender phase. Note: after selection of the candidates, in order to access the DCE and submit their bids, the selected candidates must also enter the relevant ministry, the exact reference of the consultation and a restricted access code supplied by the public authority. 2) Transmission of files Economic operators wishing to transmit their bids electronically or on a physical electronic medium must : - obtain a digital certificate in compliance with the decree of March 22, 2019 on the electronic signature of public procurement contracts, which can be accessed at www.legifrance.gouv.fr ; - identify themselves (which requires prior registration on the PLate-forme des Achats de l'Etat (PLACE) www.marches-publics.gouv.fr ). Successful candidates will also be required to enter the relevant ministry, the exact reference number of the consultation and a restricted access code supplied by the public authority, in order to submit their bids electronically. Electronic responses can be submitted on the PLACE website (www.marchespublics.gouv.fr) or via the www.achats.defense.gouv.fr or www.armement.defense.gouv.fr portals. Two types of response are possible: - an express response, enabling the user to submit his application in the form of a compressed file (ZIP equivalent), which will then be signed on submission, and possibly other documents requiring his own signature, such as the DC1, which must also be signed individually (documents which will be mentioned in the consultation regulations); - a step-by-step response, enabling the user to sign the files making up his application individually, and then submit his response. In this way, the operation of signing the documents is dissociated from the operation of submitting the envelope. The documents will have been signed beforehand by the person with authority to bind the company, so it is not necessary in this response mode for the person submitting the application on the platform to have an electronic signature certificate. The commitment form for the bid phase must be signed individually before being included in the envelope. Note 1: To be informed of exchanges with the purchaser, the economic operator must check that the address for exchanges with the PLACE ' [email protected] ' is accessible or whitelisted to pass the proxy server filters in place in companies. Note 2: When the economic operator sends its signed electronic envelope, it receives in return an electronic acknowledgement of receipt of its submission. Any electronic submission received after the deadline will not be accepted. The same applies to incomplete responses. The digital certificate enables all electronically transmitted documents to be digitally signed. Thus, for economic operators who choose the electronic transmission mode, their documents are signed electronically, preferably on the PLate-forme des AChats de l'Etat (PLACE), either at the time of dispatch for the express response mode, or prior to dispatch for the step-by-step response mode. It is therefore not necessary to attach documents with a digitized handwritten signature. If the candidate does not use the PLACE signature tool, it must comply with the following two obligations: - Produce XAdES, CAdES, PAdES signature formats; - Provide the procedure and/or technical means for verifying the validity of the signature in accordance with the decree of March 22, 2019 on the electronic signature of public procurement contracts. More specifically, applicants using a signature tool other than the one offered by the PLACE platform or the one integrated into the "ACROBAT READER DC" tool must provide the signature validity verification software (or the Internet link enabling access to it, depending on the certificate supplier) enabling the elements listed in article 5 of the aforementioned decree to be verified. Transmitted documents must be compressed. The formats used for electronic transmission or sending on an electronic medium of the bids (applications) must be chosen from a widely available format: Word 2016, Excel 2016, PowerPoint 2016, PDF, JPG, zip (winzip, filzip, etc.) or equivalent, all PC compatible; the administration must be able to read and print the files received. Failing this, applicants may choose to send their documents on paper. Economic operators who choose to submit their response electronically have the option of submitting a backup copy on a physical electronic medium or on paper within the time allowed for the submission of applications or tenders. The sealed envelope must be legibly marked "copie de sauvegarde". In the event of difficulties with the PLate-forme des AChats de l'Etat (PLACE), a telephone hotline is available to companies. To access this service, companies must first complete an online assistance request form accessible via the "Help" tab. Conditions for sending envelopes by post or by courier: Envelopes must be sent by any sealed method that allows the date and time of receipt to be determined with certainty. In order to be accepted, applications must be received no later than the closing date and time for receipt of applications. The following are accepted - registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt sent to the following address: DMAé/SDA/CGC 223, rue de Bègles CS21152 33068 Bordeaux Cedex ; - applications delivered by hand to Base aérienne 106, DMAé, Sous-direction achats, Cellule gestion des contrats, 227 avenue de lArgonne, CS 70037, 33693 MERIGNAC CEDEX Hours for receipt of bids by hand: Monday to Thursday: 9H00 12H00 and 13H30 16H00 and Friday: 9H00 12H00 Envelopes containing applications must be sent to the Contract Management Unit of the DMAé Purchasing Division. In addition to the address to which applications must be sent, they must bear the following wording: "Maintien en Condition Opérationnelle des avions C-130J-30 et KC-130J des Etats français et allemand - NE PAS OUVRIR". Applications and offers sent by fax or e-mail will not be accepted. g) Minimum period during which the bidder is required to maintain its offer: The period of validity of offers will be defined in the dossier de consultation des entreprises (DCE). h) Other specific conditions to which the performance of the contract is subject: Location: In accordance with article L. 2312-1 of the French Public Procurement Code, the consultation documents will include requirements relating to the location on the territory of Member States of the European Union or parties to the European Economic Area of the resources used to carry out all or part of the contract, or to maintain or modernize the products acquired. In particular, Check C cell maintenance visits must be carried out on the territory of EU member states or parties to the European Economic Area. Security of supply: The DCE will contain provisions relating to security of supply. When submitting tenders, the contracting authority may require bidders to provide a complete list of all contract items subject to foreign administrative authorization or to special employment restrictions imposed by a foreign state, specifying the conditions attached to the administrative authorization. Technical mastery If candidates do not possess approval certificates issued by Lockheed Martin for the C-130 aircraft and Rolls Royce for the AE 2100D3 engine, the contracting authority may require them to undertake (contractor or subcontractor in charge of maintenance services) to obtain "Lockheed Martin Approved C-130 Service Centers" and "Rolls Royce Authorized Maintenance Center" approvals for the AE 2100D3 engine, within 6 months of contract notification, and to maintain these approvals for the duration of the services. Applicants will be informed of the presence of radioactive sources in certain aircraft equipment. French candidates may be asked to provide an authorization for the distribution of radioactive sources issued by the French nuclear safety authority (ASN), or failing this, an undertaking to submit an application for authorization to distribute radioactive sources to the ASN as soon as the contract is notified. For foreign candidates, a declaration of compliance with local regulations on the distribution of radioactive sources may be requested.
