(d) Volume II – Technical Proposal. This volume will include the Technical Proposal for warehouse support services to be contracted under this solicitation.

TAB CONTENTS OF THE TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

#1 Factor 1, Relevant Experience #2 Factor 2, Past Performance #3 Factor 3, Project Staffing

Relevant Experience – Factor 1.

Factor: Demonstrate the experience of offeror and/or proposed team, including sub-contractors, on projects same/similar to that described in the SOW for the Warehouse Support Services.

The Offeror shall complete a minimum of three (3), but no more than five (5), "Past Performance Experience Information" forms, attached to the SIR (Section J, Attachment J.6 in response to this factor. All blocks must be filled in and all data should be accurate, current, and complete. All projects submitted must have been underway or completed within the last 3 years through the closing date identified on the SIR. Each project provided must be valued at or over $1.5M. If the Offeror does not have prior prime contracts to cite, then the Offeror may cite instances on which it has served as a primary subcontractor.

If any of the information required is not included in the form, then the Offeror will be considered non-responsive and evaluated as unacceptable.

Past Performance – Factor 2.

Factor: Past performance will be evaluated based upon information received by the FAA from individuals and/or organizations that the Offeror has identified as being familiar with the work ethic, standards, performance, and deliverables demonstrated through previous or ongoing contracts of a similar nature, including but not limited to projects submitted under Factor 1.

Past performance shall demonstrate ability to deliver quality services, ability to achieve program objectives, and demonstrate overall performance on same/similar work.

Offerors shall provide a narrative for each Offeror Experience Form (submitted under Factor One) explaining what aspects of the contract submitted as past performance information deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort the past performance contracts relate. This narrative may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence assessment, since the problems encountered may have been on more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The Offeror shall clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate.

Organizational Structure Change History- many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between the conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, offerors shall include a “roadmap” describing all such changes in the organization of the offeror’s company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganization may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror (s). The “roadmap” should be both specifically applicable to the efforts identified, yet general enough to apply to efforts on which the government receives information from other sources.

Project Staffing – Factor 3.

Factor: The Offeror must provide resume data for the following key personnel: Program Manager and Task/Site Supervisor.

Resume information to be provided shall be limited to no more than one (1) page per person and shall include the following information as a minimum:

Name and title Project assignment Name of firm with which associated Years of experience with this firm and with other firms Education degree(s), year, specialization, if applicable Other experience and qualifications relevant to same/similar work required under the Resume should reflect expertise required by the contractor and/or subcontractor(s) including experience in performing the requirements for services of similar scope and size (include duration or length of all experience, from mo./yr. to mo./yr.) and educational/training background in sufficient detail to facilitate evaluation of qualifications.

The Contractor must confirm that each non-key personnel meet the specifications outlined in Section M.

L.5 RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SECTIONS L AND M

Your attention is directed to the functional relationship between Sections L and M of this SIR/RFO. Section L provides information for the purpose of organizing the proposal and is not intended to be all-inclusive. Section M describes evaluation factors for award. Since the Government evaluation of proposals will cover all areas identified in Section M, proposals should address all such areas for evaluation.

L.6 SUBMISSION OF COST OR PRICING DATA

(a) It is anticipated that pricing of this action will be based on adequate price competition; therefore, offerors are not required to submit cost or pricing data. However, if after receipt of proposals it is determined that adequate price competition does not exist, cost or pricing data will be required.

(b) If it is determined that adequate price competition does not exist, the offeror shall provide current, complete and accurate cost or pricing data upon request from the contracting officer.

L.7 PROPOSAL ACCEPTANCE

(a) Only one proposal from each Offeror shall be considered.

(b) The FAA reserves the right to consider as acceptable only those proposals submitted in accordance with the requirements set forth in the SIR/RFO which demonstrate an understanding of the complexity and scope of the requirements.

(c) The FAA further reserves the right to reject, as unacceptable, proposals deleting or altering technical requirements.

L.8 DISPOSITION OF UNSUCCESSFUL PROPOSALS

Proposals from unsuccessful offerors will not be returned. Proposal originals will be retained in the contract file.

The Contracting Officer will destroy all other copies.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award was revised as follows.

Clause List was revised as follows.

M.1 INFORMATION AND CONSIDERATIONS AFFECTING VENDOR PROPOSAL SUBMISSIONS

(a) This acquisition will employ best practices procedures for competitive negotiated procurements as authorized by the Federal Aviation Administration Acquisition Management System (AMS)

(b) The FAA may communicate with one or more Offerors at any time during SIR process. Communications with one Offeror do not necessitate communications with other Offerors since communications will be Offeror-specific.

Information determined to have common application and not considered prejudicial to any Offeror will be communicated to all Offerors.

(c) Offers will be evaluated and contract award made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors (“Low-Priced, Technically Acceptable”). Tradeoffs are not permitted. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors.

(d) An evaluation for acceptability will be performed on each proposal. The proposal that provides the lowest price and is otherwise technically acceptable in all factors will be selected for award. To be considered technically acceptable, all technical factors in the proposal must be determined to be acceptable (“ACCEPTABLE”) and no technical factor can be determined unacceptable (“UNACCEPTABLE”). The failure of a proposal to meet the technical acceptability measures of any factor will result in a technically unacceptable rating (“UNACCEPTABLE”) and preclude award to that offeror.

(e) Proposals may be eliminated if they are determined to be grossly deficient (i.e., the submittal does not represent a reasonable effort to address itself to all elements of the SIR or clearly demonstrates that the Offeror does not understand the requirements of the SIR) and the proposed cost/price are not considered reasonable.

(f) Each proposal will be evaluated on the basis of its written submissions and cost/price information described in Section L. Separate technical and cost/price proposals are required as described in Section L.

(g) All offers will be subjected to detailed technical evaluation by a team who will rate proposals in accordance with Section M of the Solicitation.

(h) Technical proposals will be evaluated in accordance with Section M of the Solicitation. The criteria are listed in this section. All factors are weighted equally under the Low-Price, Technically Acceptable evaluation method used for this SIR.

(i) Cost/Price proposals will be reviewed for mathematical accuracy for the base period (CLIN 00001-CLIN 00003).

(j) The technical evaluation team will not have access to price/cost proposals during the initial detailed evaluation.

(k) Only one (1) offer that provides the lowest evaluated price of all proposals determined by the Government to meet or exceed the technical acceptability standards for non-cost factors will receive a contract award, so long as the proposal is otherwise acceptable for award (no conflicting terms and conditions, contract documents are completed properly, etc.).

(1) Because several proposals are anticipated, uniformity of proposals is essential to assure a fair and accurate assessment of each offer. All proposals must be submitted in accordance with Section L and must conform to all the terms and conditions of the SIR. Failure to conform to all requirements expressed may be cause for rejection without further evaluation or discussion.

(2) Additional information may be requested from the offeror(s) whose proposal the FAA considers to represent the overall best value. The information may clarify or supplement, but not basically change the proposal as submitted. The FAA reserves the right to award a contract based on initial offers received, without discussions or negotiations. For this reason, each initial offer should be submitted on the most favorable terms from the standpoint of technical and price/cost. Offerors are not to assume that they will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss, or revise their proposal if Government evaluators identify omissions or lack of detail.

M.3 TECHNICAL EVALUATION

Factor 1, Relevant Experience: The Government's Source Evaluation Team will review the project experience of the offeror, including subcontractors, on projects provided in response to Factor 1.

Offerors must meet all of the following minimum acceptability standards to receive an "ACCEPTABLE" on this factor

· Offeror must have three (3) projects that are same/similar to that of the work required in the project specifications and this solicitation; AND

· Each project submitted must be valued at or over $1.5M; AND

· Projects submitted must have been completed, or underway, within the last 3 years through the closing date of the SIR.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptable criteria under this factor will result in an "UNACCEPTABLE" rating and elimination from further consideration for contract award. Offerors with no past performance information will receive an "UNACCEPTABLE" rating for this factor.

Factor 2, Past Performance: The FAA will review all formal evaluations for projects submitted under Factors 1 and may use any/all other sources of past performance information for same/similar work, or other projects, available to the FAA. The FAA may contact points of contacts listed on forms submitted under Factor 1. Offerors must demonstrate the following minimum acceptability standards to receive an “ACCEPTABLE” on this factor: The standard is met when, based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort. All past or current references must recommend either hiring or using the offeror again for future work and/or reflect positive performance of the work requirements.

Failure to demonstrate the minimally acceptable criteria under this factor will result in an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating and elimination from further consideration for contract award.

Offerors with no past performance information will receive an “UNACCEPTABLE” rating for this factor.

Factor 3, Project Staffing: The Offeror must provide resume data for the following key personnel: Program Manager and Task/Site Supervisor.

M.4 PRICE ANALYSIS

a. It is anticipated that proposed prices received resulting from this SIR/RFO will be determined fair and reasonable based on adequate price competition. The FAA will conduct a price analysis to determine price reasonableness based on competition. If reasonableness of price cannot be determined through adequate price competition or by other method(s) of price analysis, the FAA will evaluate additional information required to establish price reasonableness.

(1) Proposals, whether initial or revised submissions, which are unreasonably low or high may be eliminated from further competition on the grounds of the offeror's failure to comprehend contract requirements.

(2) Prices will be analyzed for reasonableness but will not be scored. The proposal will also be analyzed to determine whether they are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the information provided by the Offeror. Additionally, all offers will be analyzed for unbalanced pricing.

b. The otherwise technically acceptable, lowest-priced offeror may be required to confirm its price on either a CLIN, element, or total price basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award at the Government’s request and discretion.

c. Other Award Factors: The Contracting Officer shall consider several factors in the selection process which are important, but not quantified, such as:

(1) Agreement by the offeror to all general and special contract provisions and clauses.

(2) Determination of responsibility of the contractor by the Contracting Officer in accordance with the provisions of AMS 3.2.2.7-7. In order to be determined responsible, a prospective contractor must:

(A) Have adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain them.

(B) Be able to comply with the required or proposed delivery or performance schedule taking into consideration all existing commercial and Governmental business commitments;

(C) Have a satisfactory performance record.

(D) Have a satisfactory record of integrity and business ethics.

(E) Have the necessary organization, experience, accounting and operational controls, and technical skills, or the ability to obtain them.

(F) Have the necessary production, construction, and technical equipment and facilities, or the ability to obtain them.

(G) Be otherwise qualified and eligible to receive an award under applicable laws and regulations.

M.5 BASIS FOR AWARD

Award will be made on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of proposals meeting the minimal acceptability standards for non-cost factors. Tradeoffs are not permitted. Proposals are evaluated for acceptability but not ranked using non-cost/price factors. While the FAA source selection evaluation team and the SSO will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by nature, contains a degree of subjectivity. This subjectivity and professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

The following clauses are no longer incorporated.

AC0276 EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS (JUL 2015)
