RFP #70RFP320RE3000001

• Technical Proposal

– Past Performance » Attachment 3 & 3a – PPP Summary Sheet » Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs)

– Management Approach » Attachment 8 – Field Level Supervision

Exhibit » Quality Assurance » Transition

Relevant Past Performance

• Relevant Past Performance

• The Government reserves the right to obtain information from sources other than those identified by the Contractor. The Government will also consider the quality of the Contractor’s relevant past performance.

• The Government reserves the right to evaluate submitted projects individually or in the aggregate in order to determine relevance and will do so consistently across all evaluated offers.

Teaming Arrangements Reference FAR 9.6

• Where teaming arrangement is proposed, an additional one (1) project for partner(s)/subcontractor(s) shall be submitted.

• Provide a narrative and/or the actual teaming agreement if one exists.

• Include the roles & responsibilities and the distribution of effort for each partner (by type and percentage) anticipated in performance.

Relevant Past Performance – Things to Remember

• Failure to submit a narrative/teaming arrangement could increase performance risk

• Be as specific as possible in describing roles, responsibilities, distribution of effort, etc. (Doesn’t count against Page Limitations)

• “Meaningful Involvement”

Management Approach

• Quality Assurance

– Field Level Supervision

• Field Level Supervision Exhibit at Attachment 8 (required)

• Narrative (at offeror’s discretion) – Enhance understanding of

Supervision Exhibit, address methods, processes and procedures

– Quality Control

• What will be inspected, methods of inspection and frequency

• Discuss processes for addressing non-compliance issues

• Transition

• Outline significant transition steps

• Associated timeframes

Management Approach – Things to Remember

• All “shall” statement are required to be addressed in the offeror’s proposal

– Failure to address can be considered a deficiency

• Please ensure the Supervision narrative matches what is provided on the Field Level Supervision Exhibit

Price Proposal

• PSO Service will be priced as fixed hourly rates

• Contractors shall submit price proposal on the Pricing

Schedule and include a detailed price breakdown for the unit prices.

• Government suggests that the Contractor complete the ‘Price Element Breakdown’ (RFP Attachment 6).

Price (continued)

• Total evaluated price (Base + Options +

52.217-8)

• Prices may be evaluated for realism

• Minimum wage rates and fringe benefits

• CBA-2018-12067, Revision# 1,CBA-2020-70, CBA-2020-71 and CBA-2020-72 apply.

– Supervisors not considered service employees

Achieved Technical Ceiling

• Non-price factors, when combined, are more important than price. However, the Government contemplates the possibility that it may identify an offer(s) of such a high technical quality that it would not be in the Government’s interest to pay an additional price premium for any additional technical (non-price) advantage.

• As a result, offerors are advised that the Government may not evaluate the technical proposals of all offerors under this RFP.

The government will first review the total evaluated price of all proposals received. The technical proposals of those offerors whose pricing is determined by the Contracting Officer to be most competitive may be reviewed prior to, or instead of, other technical proposals received.

Achieved Technical Ceiling

• Based on the initial review of these technical proposals, the government may not evaluate the technical proposals of other offerors, whose total evaluated pricing was higher than that of one already evaluated and already assigned the highest possible technical adjectival rating.

• This would occur when the Contracting Officer determines that one or more of the technical proposals already reviewed is of such a level of quality that it would not be in the interest of the government to incur cost beyond the price of the technical proposals already reviewed.

Basis for Selection

• The Government will select the responsible Contractor whose proposal, in conforming to this RFP, provides the overall best value to meet the Government’s requirements, price and non-price factors considered. Only apparent successful contractors determined to be responsible pursuant to FAR 9.104-1 will be issued a contract.
