This requirement has been set-aside for small business under NAICS code 541611 with a small business size standard of $15,000,000.00. The U.S. Army Contracting Command (ACC-NJ), Picatinny Arsenal, NJ intends to award one (1) firm-fixed-price (FFP) purchase order, on a competitive basis, for Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Class B and A Appraisal Support. Below is this efforts Performance Work Statement (PWS): 1. BACKGROUND/SCOPE1.1 Background: The Armament Software Engineering Center (Armament SEC) organization within ARDEC, consisting of the Armament Software Engineering Center Directorate, Fire Control Systems and Technology Directorate, Business Transformation & E-Systems Directorate (BTES) Directorate, Quality Engineering and System Assurance (QE&SA) Directorate, and Tactical Effects, Protection & Interactive Technologies (TEPIT) Directorate, has successfully implemented a process improvement effort of re-engineering their processes of software acquisition, development and services based on the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI).1.2 The Armament SEC uses standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) v1.3 methodology for software appraisals. SCAMPI is a benchmarking appraisal method, developed by the CMMI Institute at Carnegie Melon University, to appraise CMMI best practices implementation, relies upon an aggregation of evidence that is collected via instruments, presentations, documents, and interviews. The appraisal team observes, hears, and reads information that is transformed first into notes, and then into statements of practice implementation gaps or strengths (where appropriate), and then into preliminary findings. These are validated by the organizational unit before they become final findings. The critical concept is that these transformations are applied to data reflecting the enacted processes in the organizational unit and the CMMI reference model, and this forms the basis for ratings and other appraisal results.1.3 Scope: The Government requires contract support in assessing its strengths and weaknesses relative to the CMMI and determining its CMMI maturity level. The ARDEC Armament SEC need to assure their software applications adhere to CMMI practices to effectively provide cradle-to-grave life cycle engineering for a broad spectrum of armament technologies and products.1.4 The ARDEC Armament SEC requires support to execute the following: (a) benchmark Armament SEC's process ratings relative to Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) model using the Standard CMMI Appraisal Method for Process Improvement (SCAMPI) v1.3 methodology; (b) gain insight into ARDEC's engineering capability by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of its current processes; (c) relate these strengths and weaknesses to the CMMI model; and (d) derive CMMI capability level ratings as well as a maturity level rating.2.

Basis for Award1.1 The Government will make one (1) award as a result of the Request for Quote (RFQ). The Government will utilize Best Value evaluation methodology for the award.1.2 Discussions: The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award an order without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.2. Evaluation Factors and Evaluation Approach: 2.1 Careful, impartial, and full consideration will be given to all quotes received pursuant to the RFQ and evaluations will be applied in the same manner. Factors against which quotes will be evaluated are set forth below. Each quote received will be evaluated by Government personnel knowledgeable in the respective field.2.2 Relative Weighting of Criteria The selection of the best value proposal will be the result of an integrated assessment by the Contracting Officer considering tee factors; Technical Approach, Personnel Experience and Price. For evaluation purposes, the relative order is as follows:Technical Approach is more important than Personnel Experience and Personnel Experience is more important than Price. When combined, Technical and Personnel Experience is significantly more important than Price.Award of this purchase order resulting from the RFQ being issued will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government based on an integrated assessment of the offeror's Technical Approach, Personnel Experience, and Price.The Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced offeror(s) or to other than the offeror(s) with the highest adjectival rating if the Contracting Officer determines that to do so would result in the best value to the Government.The offeror's proposal is presumed to represent its best efforts to respond to the contemplation letter. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between promised performance and price shall be explained in the proposal. Unexplained inconsistencies resulting from the offeror's lack of understanding of the nature of the scope of the work required may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.2.3 Evaluation FactorsDefinitions:The following rating definitions will be utilized in the evaluation of Factor 1 - Technical Approach and Factor 2 - Personnel Experience:Deficiency - A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.Significant Weakness - A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful performance.Weakness - A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance.Strength - Is an aspect of an offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during performance.Factor 1 - Technical Approach: The offeror's Technical Approach factor proposal will be evaluated on the following: The description for how the requirements for the CMMI SCAMPI Class B and A Appraiser Support will be met to determine the extent to which it demonstrates a clear understanding to meet all of the Performance Work Statement (PWS) requirements. The proposed allocation of labor categories and hours will be evaluated to determine acceptability to meet purchase order requirements.The following adjectival rating will be utilized in the evaluation of the Technical Approach:Color Rating DescriptionBlue Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.Purple Good Proposal meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Proposal contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderateYellow Marginal Proposal does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.RedUnacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Proposal is unawardable.Factor 2 - Personnel Experience: The offeror's Personnel Experience factor proposal will be evaluated on the following:1) Personnel education, experience, and expertise relevant to CMMI SCAMPI Class B and A Appraiser Support requirements. Has held a similar position(s) in the past with the government and/or private industry.2) Has experience related to Information Systems and Infrastructure support within the Department of Defense or private industry.3) Demonstrates skilled technical support past experience to accomplish the requirements.Evaluators will rate the proposals in the Personnel Experience against the requirements, using the following definitions:Color Rating DefinitionBlue Excellent Has extensive knowledge and experience in subject matter and has directly supported similar programs.Green Good Has a good working knowledge and experience in subject matter and has directly supported similar programs.Yellow Fair Has a good working knowledge and experience in subject matter but has not directly supported similar programs.Red Weak Has little or no knowledge and experience in subject matter.Factor 3 - Price:The price proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b). Price will not be scored. Price reasonableness will be determined by comparing the offeror's proposal to the Independent Government Cost Estimate.A price analysis in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(b) will be conducted on the total price for this Order. The total price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness.Adequate competition is anticipated for this RFQ. However, in the event that only one offer is received, the Government reserves the right to perform a cost analysis for other than labor rates such as: Hours, Material, Travel, Other Direct Costs and Use of Government Owned Production and Research Property (if applicable) IAW FAR 15.404-1(c). Other than cost or pricing data shall be provided upon request IAW FAR 15.403-3. Other than cost or pricing data provided for this Order, if applicable, will be evaluated for magnitude and reasonableness and may be adjusted from a technical and cost perspective using cost analysis to determine the most probable cost to the Government. Offerors shall utilize a Microsoft Excel file format with formals intact when submitting their price proposal (FAR 15.403-5(b)(1)).Price Inconsistencies: A proposal is presumed to represent an offeror's best effort to respond to the solicitation. Any performance and price should be explained in the Proposal. Any significant inconsistencies, if unexplained, raise a fundamental issue of the offeror's understanding of the nature and scope of work required and his financial ability to perform the contract, may be grounds for rejection of the proposal.Other Considerations.Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical, proposed labor categories or schedule commitments, or unrealistically low in price, will be considered indicative of a lack of understanding of the complexity and risk in the contract requirements.Offeror's are reminded that unsupported promises to comply with the contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Proposals must provide convincing documentary evidence in support of any conclusive statements relating to promised performance.Offerors are cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest price offered. The Government intends to make an award without discussions but reserves the right to hold discussions if they will benefit the Government.Please complete provision 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications- Commercial Items; OR indicate that your company's representation's and certifications are current and available via Sam.gov.
