ProTech 2.0 Draft RFP Review https://www.commerce.gov/sites/default/files/2024-02/Periodic%20Table%20of%20Acquisition%20Innovations%20-%20PDF%20Playbook%20V1.2%20Final%20%281%29.pdf

The Government will assess its degree of confidence in an Offeror’s demonstrated understanding of and experience in performing work that is relevant to the elements of the PWS.

This Factor is broken into three parts, across two phases:

• Phase I

– Part 1

• Phase II

– Parts 2 and 3

Offerors are not required or expected to have relevant technical experience for every element

Factor I - Demonstrated Technical Experience

Phase I The Government’s evaluation will quantify an Offeror’s technical experience based on the level of breadth and depth in an Offeror’s self-assessment of its recent and relevant demonstrated technical experience.

• Using the tool provided, Offerors are asked to perform a self-assessment of their technical experience for each element.

• Experience can come from the Prime or a Teammate, but only Prime experience counts in Phase I

• Integrity is important! Self-assessment selections will be validated in Phase II

Offerors are not required or expected to have relevant technical experience for every element

Factor I - Demonstrated

Phase II The Government will assess its degree of confidence in an Offeror’s demonstrated understanding of and experience in performing work that is relevant to the elements of the PWS.

Submissions include:

• Completed Phase II tab of the tool

• Detailed descriptions for up to 15 demonstrated technical experience examples

Validation: All relevant technical experience examples must align accurately from Phase I through Phase II

Factor I - Demonstrated

We will now pause for a demonstration of the Relevant Technical Experience Tool, provided by Dr. Mike Baker.

Tool Demo

Will be conducted via an Oral Presentations.

Specific instructions for this Factor will be provided only to those Offerros who choose to participate in Phase II, in accordance with the RFP.

To evaluate Factor II, the Government will review the spoken information presented in the oral presentation. The slides to be submitted with the oral presentation WILL NOT BE EVALUATED for Management Approach.

Factor II - Management Approach

Past Performance will be evaluated based on the recency, relevancy and quality of the Offeror’s past performance. Past performance submissions that are not recent and relevant will not be considered in the evaluations.

● Definitions of recent and relevant are in the RFP

● Up to eight examples (at least three for prime)

● PP must be related to one or more of the Relevant Technical

Experience examples cited in Volume II

● Contract description and Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS) Reports

● Offerors responsible for past performance questionnaire submittals

Factor III - Past Performance (PP)

Ceiling hourly rates should reflect the highest proposed rate at the highest cost location for each labor category in the tool

Ceiling hourly rates shall be fully burdened

Rates will be evaluated for reasonableness:

○ Ensure that the supporting information for your rates is clear and complete

○ The offeror gains no advantage by bidding low ceiling rates, especially on a 10-year IDIQ

Factor IV - Cost/Price

Lessons Learned

Acronyms

Provide the complete spelling of an acronym when it is first used. Lists of Acronyms provide convenient reference for proposal evaluators.

Acronym Lists generally are not included in the page count.

Best Practices

Contract Summary

A brief summary of the purpose of the contract being cited as a Demonstrated Technical Experience provides useful background and context that supplements the text associated with demonstrating capability for a specific element.

Editing

Make sure there are no spelling, grammatical, or formatting errors. Graphics are clear and their content is legible.

Familiarity with NOAA

Identifying and relating proposals to the NOAA mission, understanding the challenges faced by NOAA.

Proposal Structure

Clear identification of the text that is meant to apply to a given element or requirement.

Lessons Learned

Assertion of Capability with Failure to Demonstrate

The assertion of capability such as, “We provided service X on contract Y,” fails to demonstrate understanding, such as insight into details, or challenges that would be encountered, or proficiency with tools commonly used, when providing subject matter expertise or a service.

Poor Practices

Using Nonspecific Words

“Support” is most commonly encountered, and fails to identify the actual service the proposer contributed to the project. Similar words include “works with”, “help”, “assist”, “manage”, or “aid.”

Citing Individuals

Describing the capability of an individual can raise concern about whether the corporate capability is a single point of failure and lost if the individual retires or changes jobs.

Failure to Identify Relevance

If the technical experience being cited was performed on a non-NOAA project, the failure to explain why the experience is relevant, or would be beneficial to NOAA can cause the experience to be discredited.

Highly Complex or Technical Language

Especially for technical work performed outside of NOAA, highly complex or technical services and projects should be described using nomenclature familiar to NOAA scientists or engineers (e.g. not esoteric military jargon). Always consider your audience.

Identical Content for Successive or Multiple Generations of Contracts

Extensive experience is valuable. Capturing successive generations of the same contract work informs successful performance and depth of knowledge. Repeating identical content for successive generations of a contract adds no value to the proposal. The unique challenges and achievements of each generation should be featured.

Lacking a List of Acronyms

Only content within the “four corners of the proposal” can be considered during evaluation (no supplemental research outside of the proposal is allowed). Failure to include a list of acronyms leaves reviewers to speculate – possibly incorrectly – the meaning of an acronym.

Misordering or confusing ordering of text

Addressing elements/requirements in a random or different order than they appear in the PWS can be confusing to evaluators.

Non Responsive Content

Avoid including content that does not specifically address an element/requirement.

Nonuniformity of Content

Proposal should have a uniform style of writing throughout. Interleaving well written and poorly written proposal elements detracts from the overall proposal quality.

Unclarity of Role

In team-based projects it is important to identify the proposer’s specific role and specific contributions to the project. For example, distinguishing between being the project manager and a subject matter expert that provides technical services to the project.

Non Sequential Flow

Proposals that require the reader to frequently reference back to previous content tend to disrupt the reviewer’s continuity of thought.

Tardiness

Don’t wait until the last minute to submit proposals. One minute late means it’s late.

To ask a question of our presenters, please enter it in the Q&A Section only. Questions in the chat will not be answered.

We may not be able to answer all of your questions today. However, responses to all questions received today, and in response to the Draft RFP, will be posted publicly via SAM and the ProTech website.
