The clause reads, in part, as follows: "Limitations on Subcontracting (Nov 2011) ... (c) By submission of an offer and execution of a contract, the Offeror/Contractor agrees that in performance of the contract in the case of a contract for - (1) Services (except construction). At least 50 percent of the cost of contract Performance incurred for personnel shall be expended for employees of the concern... ".

Describe briefly the capabilities of you or your organization and the nature of the services you provide. Include a description of your background and/or your staff composition to include advanced academic degrees. Please also include professional experience of your staff. The focus of this capability is to determine if your organization has a deep understanding of the operation of the defense industry. •2. Describe your company's past experience on previous projects similar in complexity to this requirement. This should be focused on previous experience both designing training and providing instruction. In this case, training includes how to operate, configure, and troubleshoot, the systems with reading material, exercises, handouts or any other materials for use by instructors or students. •3. Are there other capabilities you can provide that would be of use in meeting the requirement? If your company is interested, e-mail your responses to Isaiah.Steward@us.af.mil. E-mail responses should be received no later than 12:00pm EST, Friday 10 February 2017. Direct and succinct responses are preferred. Marketing materials are considered an insufficient response.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirement of the solicitation. In determining whether a technical proposal is Acceptable or Unacceptable, the Government will consider the extent to which the technical proposal demonstrates the offeror's ability to: 1. Provide equivalent Maintenance & instructions for proper use for all MTS Hardware & Software2. Provide a certified technician3. Provide the requisite parts FACTOR 2 Price: Price proposals will be evaluated to determine if unit prices are fair and reasonable using the techniques described in FAR 13.106-3(a). Evaluation Process: •(a) The Government will initiate concurrent evaluation of all evaluation factors on all proposals. The Government will consider, toughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of a proposal including whether any proposal deficiency can be rectified and whether any uncertainty can be resolved. The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. •(b) If pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable" or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, and in the Government's judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable; the Contracting Officer (CO) may open discussions and may continue discussions as long as, in the Government's judgment, the deficiency is rectifiable or the uncertainty is resolvable. •(c) For the purpose of conducting discussions, if the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable" or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, the entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable." At the conclusion of discussions, if the Technical factor is rated "Unacceptable" or if any deficiency or uncertainty relative to the proposal has not been resolved, evaluation of that proposal will be considered final. The entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable" and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award. •(d) For the purpose of award without discussions, if pursuant to initial evaluation, the Government rates the Technical factor as "Unacceptable" or if the Government determines that there is some other deficiency or uncertainty relative to an offeror's proposal, notwithstanding that any deficiency may be rectifiable or any uncertainty may be resolvable, the entire proposal will be rated "Unacceptable," the initial evaluation will be the final evaluation, and no further consideration will be given to that proposal for award.

3/9/17, 3:00 PM Intent to Sole Source
Added: Feb 15, 2017 3:27 pm INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The United States Air Force, AFLCMC/Operational Contracting Division, Wright-Patterson AFB, Ohio 45433-5344. This is a Sole Source synopsis published for informational purposes only. This proposed action is for the procurement of Maintenance and Repair support of the proprietary hardware and software configurations used in the AFIT/ENY Mechanics of Advanced Aerospace materials Testing Lab. The Government intends to solicit and negotiate with only one source under the authority of FAR 13.106-1(b)(1).This proposed procurement will be a Sole Source under North American Industry Classification System Code (NAICS) 811219. Size standard is $20.5M. The proposed source is MTS Systems Corporation, 1400 Technology Dr. Eden Prairie, MN, 55344-2247. This notice of intent is not a request for competitive quotations. However, all responsible sources may submit a capability statement, proposal, quotation or exception to the intent to purchase on a sole source basis, which shall be considered by the Government if received within five (5) days of this notice. Information received will normally be considered solely for the purpose of determining whether to conduct a competitive procurement. In order to comply with FAR 5.207(c)(15), the reason for lack of competition is as follows: MTS holds all proprietary rights on their equipment; no other contractor would be able to perform this required maintenance. Therefore, MTS Systems is the only available source for maintenance and support of the proprietary hardware and software configurations used in the AFIT/ENY Mechanics of Advanced Aerospace Materials Testing Lab. This equipment is required by students attending AFIT who will be graduating in March 2017.The Department of Defense (DoD) has determined the System for Award Management (SAM) to be the single DoD registration for contractors who conduct business or who are interested in conducting business with the DoD. Contractors must be registered in SAM prior to award for solicitations issued after 29 May 2012. You may contact SAM at 866-606-8220.
