CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1 SECTION L

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 This section provides general instructions for preparing offers as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the offer. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements in addition to those identified as evaluation factors and subfactors. Taking exception to any provision in the solicitation without addressing the exception with the contracting office before the offer due date specified within the solicitation will render the offer ineligible for award.

1.2 The anticipated Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract award under this solicitation will be a total small business set-aside made in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 12, Acquisition of Commercial Products and Commercial Services, and FAR 13 Simplified Acquisition Procedures following the policies and procedures for solicitation, evaluation, and award.

1.3 Only offers received from eligible small businesses under NAICS code 541410 will be considered for award.

1.4 The evaluation of offers will be best on a best value basis in accordance with FAR 12.203 Evaluation using a comparative evaluation of offers in accordance with FAR 12.203(a).

1.5 Vendors are hereby instructed that, regardless of any language that may be used in this solicitation, this procurement is being conducted under FAR 12.201 Simplified Procedures.

Offerors are cautioned against restating PWS requirements in their offer, particularly with regard to technical requirements and must state how all RFQ and PWS requirements will be met. 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 indicate that an Offeror understands the requirements and will likely result in a diminished evaluation rating.

1.7 The offer 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 offer and will not be considered in the evaluation of the offer.

1.8 At the Government’s discretion, the Contractor’s offer may be incorporated into the final contract, either in whole or in part.

1.9 The Government intends to award this contract without further exchanges with offerors. Notwithstanding this intent, the Government reserves the right, at the Governments discretion, to conduct exchanges with any or all Offerors and request revised offers.

1.10 The Offeror’s offer shall remain valid for at least 60 calendar days after the offer due date.

1.3 The Government intends to award this contract without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. Notwithstanding this intent, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to conduct discussions, a matter within his/her discretion. In the event discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

1.4 To be eligible for inclusion in the competitive range and subsequent award, the Offeror must fully comply with the instructions included in 52.212-1 (Instructions, Conditions, and Notices for Submission of Offers), and sufficiently address all solicitation requirements. Taking exception to any requirement in the solicitation without addressing the exception with the contracting office before the proposal due date specified within the solicitation will render the proposal ineligible for award.

· EVALUATION FACTORS

· The Government will evaluate proposals based on the following factors and sub-factor:

Factor I – Technical Factor II – Past Performance Factor III – Price

· Factor I (Technical) and Factor II (Past Performance Confidence) are listed in descending order of importance. Where Factor III (Price), is more important than non-cost factors [Factor I (Technical), Factor II (Past Performance Confidence).

FACTOR I – TECHNICAL

.1 The Government will assess the Offeror’s Technical proposal 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.

Each sub-factor will be evaluated using the ratings below.

TABLE M-1 COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATING

Rating
Description
Outstanding
Proposal demonstrates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths and/or at least one significant strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.
Good
Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength or significant 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 is unawardable, and/or risk of performance is unacceptably high.

FACTOR II – PAST PERFORMANCE

· The assessment of the Offeror’s past performance will be used by the Government as a means to evaluate the relative capability of the Offeror and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the PWS and as a measure of performance risk for contract award. The government’s assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the government after it considers all available relevant and recent information.

· Each past performance data sheet will be evaluated to determine whether the work performed by the Offeror is recent and relevant to the instant requirement. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts accomplished within the past three (3) years that is of the same or similar scope, complexity, and magnitude to that which is described in the solicitation. Common aspects of relevancy include, but are not limited to, the following: similarity of product/service/ support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, use of key personnel (for services), and extent of subcontracting.

· The Government will assign one relevancy rating for each past performance effort submitted using the four levels of relevancy as shown in “Past Performance Relevancy Rating” Table below. 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. Past performance reference that that has no relevance to the instant requirement will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably and will not be considered in the overall assessment of Past Performance Confidence.

“Past Performance Relevancy Rating” Table

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.

Each past performance reference under each offeror’s Past Performance submission that is found to have at least some relevance to the instant requirement will be evaluated to determine the quality of the offeror’s performance under that reference. The Government will focus its inquiry of the Offerors record of performance as it relates to timeliness, quality, cost control, and customer satisfaction.

Quality of the relevant past performance will form the basis for the Offeror’s overall rating for Past Performance.

Past performance will be rated using the ratings defined below:

TABLE M-2 PAST PERFORMANCE

Overall 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
