(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

After contract award, key personnel substitutions shall be processed in accordance with the contract Key Personnel clause.

Proposal Format and Content.

mailto:zachary.j.snodgrass.mil@socom.mil

Electronic proposals shall contain separate files for each of the (4) volumes.

Individual emails shall not exceed 10 MB.

The proposal page format will be 8 1/2” x 11” except for foldouts used for charts, tables, or diagrams, which may not exceed 11” x 17”. A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information. Type shall not be less than 10 pitch. Margins shall be 1” all-around for all pages. Elaborate formats or color presentations are not desired or required. Cover sheets, glossaries, and Table of Contents (TOCs) are not required, if included they will not count towards page count limits. Failure to provide all required documents may render the proposal unacceptable. Proposal submission requirements are the following:

The evaluation will consist of evaluating the Qualifying Criteria (Volume I) and the three Factors (Volumes II, III and IV), as outlined below. After completion of the evaluation, the Government may establish a competitive range and conduct discussions. The Government reserves the right for efficiency purposes to only include the most highly rated proposals in the competitive range. The Government intends to award a single award as a result of this solicitation.

Proposals shall not contain classified information.

Qualifying Criteria (Volume I): All listed qualifying criteria submissions will be evaluated on a pass or fail basis.

The qualifying criteria shall be submitted in accordance with the instructions contained in this solicitation.

Complete business address of the Offeror, the corporate name to be used on any resultant contract, and the remittance address if different from that above. If this name does not identify a "parent company" or sponsoring

"corporation" name, also provide such identity, as appropriate.

− The Offeror’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEIs)

Number and Tax Identification Number (TIN).

− Name, telephone numbers and e-mail address of person(s) to be contacted for clarification or questions to the proposal.

− Fill-In Clauses: provide all fill-ins or certifications required by the solicitation, for inclusion in any resulting contract.

− Notice Regarding Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI): The acquisition of services under this solicitation may create actual or potential conflicts of interest for Offerors and their proposed subcontractors. In assessing and addressing OCI, the Government will follow the guidance in FAR Subpart

9.5. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that both they and their proposed subcontractors are not restricted from participating in the MARSOC CDSS acquisition due to an OCI caused by any existing or in-process USSOCOM contract or subcontract, including those at USSOCOM headquarters, Components, Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs), and Geographic Combatant Commands (COCOMs). The

Government prefers that Offerors competing for the MARSOC CDSS contract effort have no known OCIs.

If an OCI does exist, then the Offeror must complete one Attachment 4 – Organizational Conflict of Interest

Disclosure Form for each associated USSOCOM contract or subcontract currently being performed. The

Offeror may also identify and submit mitigation plans that will be considered; however, OCI issues and mitigation plans create considerable work for the Government and the Offeror to ensure that OCIs are adequately mitigated at the time of award and during contract performance. Consequently, Offeror’s are encouraged to avoid or resolve OCI issues prior to submitting proposals, and state that no OCI issues exist regarding the MARSOC CDDS acquisition. Please note that a proposal of 100% subcontracting and firewalls will not be considered an acceptable OCI mitigation plan. Contractors, in many instances, provide support regarding the performance of existing USSOCOM programs and/or contracts. Any work previously performed that creates biased ground rules or impaired objectivity for an Offeror or proposed subcontractor will make that Offeror ineligible for the MARSOC CDSS contract award.”

− Terms and Conditions: The Offeror must include a statement that it either (a) agrees to the terms and conditions of this solicitation (which consists of the entire RFQ, including all documents, exhibits, and other attachments that are incorporated therein by reference and made a part thereof) and any solicitation amendments; or (b) takes exceptions to any terms or conditions of the solicitation, and clearly identifies those exceptions. Exceptions to any of the terms and conditions of this RFQ may be considered by the

Government to be unacceptable.

− Specific Proposal validity period (required minimum is 90-days).

− Vendors will input stated amounts of $10,000 NTE for CLINs 0006, 1006, 2006, 3006, 4006 and

$14,000 NTE for CLINs 0007, 1007, 2007, 3007, and 4007.

Factors for Award. Proposals shall address the Offeror’s technical capabilities to accomplish the work by providing specific narrative details and/ or description of actual methods, processes, and procedures for providing the services described in Attachment 1 – Statement of Work (SOW). General statements that the Offeror understands the requirement and shall comply with the requirements of the RFP will be considered inadequate.
