52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. This solicitation is a small businesses set-aside competition issued through SAM.gov. The award resulting from this solicitation will be a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract for a one year basic period of performance followed by three one-year options. The Government will award a contract to the responsible offeror whose offer is responsive to the Request for Proposal (RFP). Offers submitted for other than FFP will not be considered and will be rejected outright.

2. Questions regarding this procurement must be submitted through Sam.gov. Other methods of question submittal will not be acknowledged. The Government will make every attempt to answer all questions in a timely manner; however, questions submitted within 1 business day of the posted closing date may not allow ample time to respond and offerors cannot be guaranteed a response. All questions and answers will be posted for viewing by all other potential offerors.

3. All offers must be received no later than the date posted on the official solicitation. This posted closing date and time applies to all submissions, as well as to all parts of the submission which are to be considered for award. No offers or modifications will be accepted after the deadline.

4. Offerors must provide information in sufficient detail to clearly and fully demonstrate that the prospective contractor has a thorough understanding of and ability to perform all requirements of this solicitation. The Government will not assume the Offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment not specified in the offer. Offerors are cautioned against restating the SOW requirements in their offers, particularly with regard to technical requirements.

Statements such as "the offeror understands", and "the offeror shall/can comply", along with responses that paraphrase the RFQ, are inadequate. The use of phrases such as "standard practices" (with a specific government reference or industry reference) does not reflect the offeror understands the requirements and will likely result in a diminished evaluation rating.

5. Award will be based on a Best Value Trade-Off Analysis. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and issue a purchase order based on initial offers. All option years will be evaluated prior to award. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal should contain the offeror's best terms from a Technical, Past Performance and Price standpoint.

6. Any exception to the Government’s technical requirements/specifications must be resolved prior to the solicitation closing date. Offerors that take exception to the Government’s technical requirements without prior resolution with the Contracting Officer will not be considered for award. Alternate proposals are not authorized and will be rejected.

7. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions. Notwithstanding this intent, the Government reserves the right to establish a competitive range, conduct discussions with offerors in the competitive range, if necessary, and to permit such offerors to revise their proposals. The Government also reserves the right to change any of the terms and conditions in the RFP by an amendment at any time prior to contract award and to allow offerors to revise their proposals accordingly.

8. An Offeror’s proposal is presumed to represent the best efforts to respond to the solicitation. The proposal shall present evidence of the Offeror’s understanding of the requirements and their interrelationships. The proposal shall demonstrate the Offeror’s familiarity with the detailed aspects of the requirements and shall clearly show that the Offeror correctly interpreted all of the requirements. Responses must adequately address specific RFP requirements. Statements such as "the Offeror understands" and "the Offeror shall/can comply" along with responses that paraphrase the RFP are inadequate. The use of phrases such as "standard practices" (with a specific government reference or industry reference) is unacceptable. Offerors are cautioned to not simply restate the specifications in their technical proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. Failure of a proposal to comply with these instructions may be grounds for exclusion of the proposal from further consideration.

9. The proposal should be complete as submitted and not include references to data or information previously submitted. Data previously submitted to the Navy, if any, will not be incorporated “by reference” into the proposal and will not be considered in the evaluation of the proposal.

10. At the government’s discretion, the offeror’s proposal may be incorporated into the final contract, either in whole or in part.

11. After the solicitation closing date, the contracting officer may require an offeror to promptly submit information to demonstrate the offeror is responsible.

12. Questions regarding this procurement must be submitted either through the Sam.gov portal or directly to Steffany.a.becker.civ@us.navy.mil. All questions shall be submitted no later than 3 business days prior to solicitation closing date. Questions received after this date will not be guaranteed a response.

2.0 FORMAT OF THE PROPOSALS

Proposal volumes must be internally consistent or the proposal may be considered unrealistic, precluding further consideration.

Offerors’ responsibility to ensure that there are no discrepancies presented within the information contained in the offer. Potential offeror is hereby notified that in the event there are discrepancies within the information contained in the offer, the Government reserves the right to apply its judgement to resolve such discrepancies during the evaluation of the proposals without discussions.

The purpose of this section is to enable the Navy to assess the Offeror's technical understanding of and capability to perform, manage and control tasks in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), Section C of the solicitation.

The Technical Proposal shall consist of no more than 25 pages, excluding letters of intent, employment agreements, title page, table of contents, and cross-reference index list. Offerors are cautioned that no more than the first 25 pages of their Technical Proposals will be evaluated. If any offer is not in compliance with the page limitation on Technical Proposals the extra pages will be removed and not evaluated. There shall be no cost information included in the Technical sections of the offer.

The Offeror must state explicitly whether or not any exceptions are taken to the terms and conditions of the solicitation. If so, the Offeror should list, and provide its rationale for any such exception. Any comments or exceptions must be addressed in this section and may form the basis for an Offeror to be considered ineligible for award. Alternate proposals are not authorized and will be rejected.

Factor I- Technical Capability to Meet the Requirement

Sub-Factor (1) Technical Understanding and Approach

Sub- Factor (2) Staffing Plan

Sub-factor (1) Technical Understanding and Approach - Offerors must demonstrate a sufficient understanding of and approach to the various requirements identified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Technical areas to be addressed include training and standard operating procedures. Offerors should provide a narrative explanation of their general understanding of the methodology and ability to perform all the PWS tasks. Emphasis should be placed on proven ability to provide like or similar work, corporate experience/team experience or other like information demonstrating understanding and capability to work the various tasks set forth in the PWS.

The technical approach should demonstrate that the Offeror can accomplish the specific tasks in a technically competent, timely, cost effective manner with minimum risk to the Government. The narrative should provide a complete analysis of the performance requirements and explain the processes, best practices and other methods the Offeror will use to meet each requirement stated in the PWS. The technical approach is not to be a restatement of the information contained in the PWS.

Sub-factor (2) Staffing Plan

Offerors must provide a staffing plan that demonstrates that the contractor will be capable of providing in a timely manner 100% of the required staffing (in terms of labor category and quantity) for the contract.

Offerors should describe their plan to staff the contract in order to meet all PWS requirements. The proposal shall clearly identify titles, responsibilities and positions of proposed personnel within the organization structure of the Offeror.

The Staffing Plan shall further identify which personnel are currently on the Offeror's payroll, which are currently on a proposed subcontractor’s payroll, and which have been offered and have accepted employment contingent on award of this purchase order (prime and subcontractor).

VOLUME II - Past Performance

1. Offeror’s may include in Volume II, a one to two page document listing all potential references.

Information to be provided is reference name, address, phone number, email address, and any other identifying information such as Contract Number or type of work provided. The Offeror shall use the Past Performance Datasheet provided as an attachment to this solicitation.

2. Offerors shall provide all relevant past performance information for similar or related work under contracts completed during the last three years. Offerors may submit performance data regarding current contract.

3. Past Performance references may include federal, state, or local Government and private contracts performed by the Offeror that were similar in nature for this effort being evaluated.

4. To obtain information, the Government may contact the points of contact listed by Offerors, however, the Government is not required to contact the points of contact provided by Offerors and may limit the number of references it decides to contact. The Government is also free to contact references other than those provided by the Offeror to evaluate past performance of Offerors

5. If the offeror possesses no relevant PP, it must affirmatively state this fact in the Volume II submittal.

VOLUME III- PRICE

Pricing shall be firm-fixed priced to perform the work listed in the performance work statement. Offerors shall return fully executed CLINs to include a unit price and total extended prices for all required Contract Line Items listed in the solicitation and a Total Amount showing the cumulative sum of all line items. The Offerors shall provide a breakdown of pricing.

Proposals shall include pricing in excel format with breakdown of different elements (i.e. hours, labor rates, fringe, overhead, G&A, profit etc.) by CLIN with unhidden formulas. Formulas must be included within the cells. Do not submit this spreadsheet in PDF format. All price spreadsheets shall be completed and contain all the required detailed calculations and information for the prime and any subcontractors proposed. Total CLIN pricing should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

Please note that the price for the six-month option to extend the services (FAR Clause 52.217-8) is separate from, and shall not be included in, the estimated total value of the five-year effort. In addition, the services proposed for the six-month option to extend the services shall remain within the limits and at the rates proposed for the Option 3 period.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

1. BASIS FOR AWARD

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1.1 The award resulting from this solicitation will be a single firm fixed price contract. This is a small business set-aside, using a best value trade-off methodology. The basis for award of a contract will be an integrated assessment by the Contracting Officer of the results of the evaluation based on the evaluation factors and their importance as indicated below. The integrated assessment will include consideration of the strengths and weaknesses of the offers. The Government reserves such right of flexibility in conducting the evaluation as is necessary to assure placement of a contract is in the Government's best interest. Accordingly, the Government may award to other than the lowest price offeror, or other than the offeror with the highest technical rating.

1.2 To be eligible for award, the offeror must fully comply with the statement of work, and address all solicitation requirements. As such, offers that take exception to any term or condition of this solicitation, propose any additional term or condition, or omit any required information, may not be considered for award. Alternate proposals are NOT authorized and will be rejected. An offeror must propose in accordance with the directions set forth in the “Instruction to Offerors” to be considered for award. Additionally, prior to award, a responsibility determination will be made in accordance with FAR 9.104-1 and will take into consideration the information submitted by the offeror and information obtained from other resources.

The Government intends to award based on initial submissions. Therefore, the Offeror's initial offer should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into discussions with Offerors if it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the Government’s best interest.

1.3 Relative Weights

1.3.1 Factor I (Technical Approach) and Factor II (Past Performance Confidence) are listed in descending order of importance. When combined, the non-cost factors [Factor I (Technical Approach) and Factor II (Past Performance Confidence), are significantly more important than Factor III (Price). A rating of “Unacceptable” in any factor will render the entire proposal ineligible for award. There are two sub-factors under Factor I (Technical). These two sub-factors shall be used to establish an overall rating for

Factor I. An unacceptable in any sub-factor will result in an overall Factor I rating of Unacceptable, rendering the entire proposal ineligible for award. The sub-factors are listed in descending order of importance:

A. Sub-Factor (1) Technical Understanding and Approach

B. Sub- Factor (2) Staffing Plan

1.3.2 Award will be made to that offeror whose proposal contains the combination of those criteria offering the best overall value to the government. In making this comparison, the government is more concerned with obtaining superior Technical Approach (Factor I), Past Performance Confidence (Factor II), than Price (Factor III). However, the Government may not make an award at a significantly higher cost to the Government to achieve slightly superior technical approach or past performance.

2. EVALUATION OF OFFERS

Factor I - Technical Approach The Government will assess the Offeror’s Technical Approach with respect to its compliance with the solicitation requirements and the risk associated with the Offeror's approach through the assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies.

A. a. Sub-Factor (1) Technical Understanding and Approach

1. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s submission to determine the Offeror’s understanding of, approach to, and ability to meet the solicitation requirements based on the information provided as required by INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS. The contractor’s technical information will be used to determine whether the items or services proposed meet or exceed the requirements/ salient characteristics included in the PWS.

b. Sub-Factor (2) Staffing Plan

2.1 The Government will evaluate the staffing plan to determine the Offeror’s ability to provide qualified personnel.

2.2 Technical Approach Grading Criterion:

The following table of Adjectival Ratings/Description shall be used for the Technical/Risk Rating for Factor (I). The overall Factor I (Technical) rating will be determined by evaluating the ratings for each of the sub-factors. The overall rating will be used for tradeoff analysis but when two or more offerors are give the same rating, subfactor ratings may come into play in the tradeoff analysis. Inherent in the Factor

(I) rating definition is a component for risk, reflecting the projected risk of the proposed approach to successfully perform the contract.

Adjectival Rating Combined Technical/Risk Rating Rating Description

Outstanding

Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good

Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable

Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal

Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

2.3 Unacceptable Rating. Any offeror receiving a score of “unacceptable” in a factor or any sub-factor will render the entire proposal ineligible for award.

Factor II – Past Performance Grading Criteria

B. Factor II – Past Performance Grading Criteria There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate each contractor’s past performance for relevancy to the proposed effort. The second is to determine the Government’s confidence level regarding future performance, based on each contractor’s past performance.

1. Relevance. Past performance on current and recent contracts (within the last 3 years) that are more technically relevant to the customer’s mission and program performance requirements, and similar in size, scope and complexity will receive greater consideration than performance on contracts that are less relevant

2. Grading Criteria for “Past Performance Relevancy.” To determine how relevant each recent effort accomplished by the contractor is, the government will evaluate each past performance action, and rate each action using the following table below:

Table 2 Past Performance Relevancy Rating Rating Definition

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant

Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

2. Performance Confidence Assessment

In determining Past Performance Confidence, the Government shall consider how well the contractor has performed on previous contracts in areas such as timeliness, quality, cost control, and customer satisfaction. With respect to relevancy, past performance of greater relevancy will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available, the government will not evaluate the offeror favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Such offerors will receive a rating of “Unknown Confidence (Neutral).” A "Substantial Confidence" or "Satisfactory Confidence" past performance rating is worth more than a "Neutral Confidence" past performance rating.

Past Performance Confidence Assessment will be rated as follows:

Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating Definition

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort

Neutral Confidence

No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

Limited Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

An overall rating of “No Confidence” will render the offeror ineligible for award and it will not be further evaluated for Price.

C. Factor III – Price:

The Government will evaluate quotations for price completeness, and price reasonableness. A price reasonableness determination will be made using the price analysis techniques identified in FAR 15.404-1 as deemed appropriate.

Award Decision

An award will be made to the offeror whose quote contains a combination of Technical (Factor I), Past Performance (Factor II), and Price (Factor III) that offers the best overall value to the Government. The Government is more concerned with obtaining superior Technical (Factor I) and Past Performance (Factor II), than making the award to the lowest Price (Factor III) offered to the Government. However, the Government will not pay a premium for enhancements the Government considers unnecessary.

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
