EVALUATION PROCEDURES

The Government will award a single 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) Factor 1: Demonstrated Prior Experience

2) Factor 2: Technical Design and Service Delivery Approach

3) Factor 3: Network Management and Operations Services

4) Factor 4: Implementation Strategy and Transition Plan

5) Factor 5: Price http://farsite.hill.af.mil/reghtml/regs/far2afmcfars/fardfars/far/52_000.htm#P1391_191748 mailto:colin.galvin@fema.dhs.gov

4 | P a g e

Each of the above factors has one or more sub-factors. To achieve an acceptable rating, the

Offeror’s Technical Proposal must achieve a pass rating on all sub-factors.

The evaluations will be based on the factors and sub-factors listed in descending order of importance, showing the order of precedence for each and what the proposal should provide to meet the minimum technical acceptability rating.

The Government will evaluate each of the Offeror’s technical proposals to determine if the service offerings satisfy the specific requirements. The factors and sub-factors are presented below.

Factor 1 – Factor 1: Demonstrated Prior Experience

The Offeror's prior experience will be evaluated to determine the extent to which it demonstrates successful delivery of services and solutions of similar scope and requirements.

The Offeror’s prior experience information should document corporate experience and successes in providing supplies and services of a similar nature to those stated in the Government’s SOW.

The Offeror’s past performance information received from the questionnaire must include sufficient detail to demonstrate that the Offeror has previously performed all aspects of the work detailed in this request for proposal’s SOW.

Each party (the prime contractor, as well as all teaming partners and/or proposed sub-contractors if applicable) to the proposal must provide specific past performance reference information for three prior and/or existing contracts that are similar in scope and complexity to the role they are proposed to fulfill under the proposal. The Agency shall make an assessment of the Offeror’s past performance, taking into account (but not limited to) such aspects as: Quality of Service, Cost Control, Timeliness of Performance, Business Relations, Personnel Management and

Subcontractor Management.

Offerors are advised that past performance information may be obtained from sources that the

Offeror does not include in its proposal. The Offeror is responsible for verifying and ensuring that the information provided in support of its cited/referenced past performance and experience is complete, comprehensive, accurate, and current at the time this solicitation was issued.

The Agency will evaluate the relevance of the cited past performance reference information to the requirements stated in this solicitation as well as the quality of the Offeror’s past performance and determine each Offeror’s probability of success on the proposed contract based upon this record of past performance. The Agency will seek to determine whether an Offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to customer satisfaction and timely delivery of services at fair and reasonable cost/prices.

5 | P a g e

In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant experience, or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance, as per the guidance established at FAR 15.305.

In assessing an Offeror’s past performance, the Agency will consider references submitted by the

Offeror and may consider information from other sources such as, but not limited to information contained in government past performance databases. For Offeror submitted references the

Agency will make only 2 attempts to contact the reference for obtaining past performance information

A major subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor named in the proposal whose total price exceeds 15% of the offer’s bottom line total price.

The Government reserves the right to use other sources to validate the Offeror’s past performance in CPARS.

Factor 2 – Factor 2: Technical Design and Service Delivery Approach

The Offeror's technical design of its network(s) and the service delivery approach will be evaluated to determine the extent to which it demonstrates a comprehensive, sound, and reasonable approach to providing mobile satellite services to the Government. The proposal will be assessed to determine the extent to which it meets the following criteria:

1. The Offeror’s proposal demonstrates a thorough and reasonable understanding of the requirements of this SOW.

2. The proposed satellite network(s) design meets the requirements stated in Task 1:

Mobile Satellite Radio and Voice Services.

3. The proposed service delivery approach provides Managed MSAT G2 (over the

Ligado Network) Push to Talk (PTT) services.

4. The proposed service delivery approach provides telephone / PSTN services.

5. The proposed service delivery approach provides PTT satellite radio service for dispatch via talk groups.

6. The proposed service delivery approach provides SMART talk groups for interoperable communications amongst public safety agencies.

The proposed service delivery approach provides activation / deactivation of services, addition / deletion of Talk Groups within the service level agreement (SLA) outlined in the SOW.

Factor 3 – Factor 3: Network Management and Operations Services

The Offeror’s ability to provide Network Management and Operations Services are critical to the success of the program and will be evaluated separately from other aspects of the proposal. The proposed Network Management and Operations Services strategy will be evaluated on the extent to which it demonstrates a sound and reasonable approach to the management and operation services necessary to provide quality services to FEMA throughout the lifecycle of the contract.

The Network Management and Operations Services will be assessed to determine the extent to which (Task 2):

6 | P a g e

1. The Offeror’s proposal demonstrates a thorough and reasonable understanding of the requirements of this SOW.

2. The proposed service provides Fault Management capabilities.

3. The proposed service provides Configuration Management capabilities.

4. The proposed service provides Account Management capabilities.

5. The proposed service provides a dedicated Account Manager.

6. The proposed service provides Account Billing capabilities.

7. The proposed service provides Service Management capabilities.

8. The proposed service provides Reports capabilities.

9. The proposed service provides Technical Assistance capabilities.

10. The proposed service provides Security Management capabilities.

11. The proposed service provides Performance Management capabilities

12. The proposed service provides surge capacity within the scope of the SLA dictated in the SOW.

Factor 4 - Factor 4: Implementation Strategy and Transition Plan

The Offeror’s Implementation Strategy and Transition Plan are critical to the success of the program and will be evaluated separately from other aspects of the proposal. The proposed implementation strategy will be evaluated on the extent to which it demonstrates a sound and reasonable approach to the incremental implementation of a full operating capability while ensuring a seamless transition from the current service. The implementation strategy will be assessed to determine the extent to which (Task 3):

1. The proposed Implementation Strategy is realistic and achievable, minimizes disruption to business operations with no compromise of continuity, mitigates risk, ability to maintain strict adherence to the negotiated post-award schedule, and identifies the tools, methods, and practices used to facilitate the transition.

The proposed Implementation Strategy includes a Transition Plan that is feasible and demonstrates a thorough understanding of the requirements, including a sound and reasonable solution to minimizing risk. The technical approach to porting all applicable existing mobile satellite services, devices, and numbers without any degradation of availability or service is detailed and logical.

7 | P a g e

Factor 5 - Price

For evaluation purposes only, Offerors shall use Government-provided hours estimates and labor categories to propose a cost for delivering the tasks listed in the SOW. Price, while being an important factor, is not in and of itself the determining factor in the selection of the successful offeror for award of the contract contemplated by this solicitation. The Government will consider the loaded fixed labor rates, the labor mix, and total cost to perform tasks being ordered for determining that the total price is reasonable. Offerors must use the format in the price schedule spreadsheet provided to propose a FFP for the estimated hours provided by the Government.

Additionally, Offerors shall provide a list of all of their Labor Categories with the applicable fully-loaded labor rates that can be used in the base and all option periods for all task orders placed under the IDIQ.

While cost/price is for evaluation purposes only, cost/price may become a critical factor in source selection in the event that two or more Offerors are determined to be essentially equal following the evaluation of all factors other than cost or price. The Government reserves the right to make an award to the Offeror whose proposal provides the best overall value to the

Government.

8 | P a g e

RATINGS:

For Factor 5, price proposals will not receive an adjectival rating.

The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. 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 conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. 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.

Offerors shall include a completed copy of the provision at 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and

Certifications -- Commercial Items, with its offer.

FAR Clause at 52.212-4, Contract Terms and Conditions -- Commercial Items, applies to this acquisition.

Evaluation Adjectives

The following adjectives will be used as general guidance in assessing each factor and the overall proposal rating as a whole:

Excellent (5) The proposal shows exceptional strengths, significantly exceeds most or all solicitation requirements, and presents no weaknesses or deficiencies. Also, the Offeror’s demonstrated ability to exceed the requirements is anticipated to have significant positive impact or added value.

Good (4) The proposal exceeds many or all solicitation requirements presents no more than an overall low risk. Also, the Offeror’s demonstrated ability to exceed the requirements is anticipated to have some positive impact or added value. Weaknesses, if any, are minor and are more than offset by strengths.

Acceptable (3) The proposal meets all of the solicitation requirements, has few or no strengths and presents no more than an overall moderate risk.

Weaknesses are generally offset by strengths.

Marginal (2) The proposal has weaknesses that are not offset by strengths.

Unsatisfactory (1) The proposal does not meet one or more of the solicitation requirements, has significant weaknesses/deficiencies, and/or presents an overall high risk to the Government. Requirements can only be met with major changes to the proposal. If the proposal does not demonstrate an Offeror’s ability to meet a single objective within a factor, the whole factor may be assessed as “Unsatisfactory”.
