NOTICE FOR

FILING AGENCY PROTESTS

United States Coast Guard Ombudsman Program

It is the policy of the United States Coast Guard (USCG) to issue solicitations and make contract awards in a fair and timely manner. The Ombudsman Program for Agency

Protests (OPAP) was established to investigate agency protest issues and resolve them without expensive and time-consuming litigation. OPAP is an independent reviewing authority that is empowered to grant a prevailing protester essentially the same relief as the Government Accountability Office (GAO).

Interested parties are encouraged to seek resolution of their concerns within the USCG as an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) forum rather than filing a protest with the

GAO or some external forum. Interested parties may seek resolution of their concerns informally or opt to file a formal agency protest with the Contracting Officer or

Ombudsman.

Informal Forum with the Ombudsman. Interested parties who believe a specific

USCG procurement is unfair or otherwise defective should first direct their concerns to the applicable Contracting Officer. If the Contracting Officer is unable to satisfy their concerns, interested parties are encouraged to contact the U.S. Coast Guard Ombudsman for Agency Protests. Under this informal process the agency is not required to suspend contract award performance. Use of an informal forum does not suspend any time requirement for filing a protest with the agency or other forum. In order to ensure a timely response, interested parties should provide the following information to the

Ombudsman: solicitation/contract number, contracting office, Contracting Officer, and solicitation closing date (if applicable).

Formal Agency Protest with the Ombudsman. Prior to submitting a formal agency protest, protesters must first use their best efforts to resolve their concerns with the

Contracting Officer through open and frank discussions. If the protester’s concerns are unresolved, an Independent Review is available by the Ombudsman. The protester may file a formal agency protest to either the Contracting Officer or as an alternative to that, the Ombudsman under the OPAP program.

Contract award or performance will be suspended during the protest period unless contract award or performance is justified, in writing, for urgent and compelling reasons or is determined in writing to be in the best interest of the government. The agency’s goal is to resolve protests in less than 35 calendar days from the date of filing. Protests shall include the information set forth in FAR 33.103(d)(2). If the protester fails to submit the required information, resolution of the protest may be delayed or the protest may be dismissed. To be timely protests must be filed within the period specified in FAR

33.103(e). Formal protests filed under the OPAP program should be submitted electronically to OPAP@uscg.mil and the Contracting Officer or by hand delivery to the

Contracting Officer.

Election of Forum. After an interested party protests a Coast Guard procurement to the

Contracting Officer or the Ombudsman, and while the protest is pending, the protester agrees not to file a protest with the GAO or other external forum. If the protest is filed with an external forum, the agency protest will be dismissed.

EVALUATION FACTORS AND BASIS FOR AWARD:

The Government will utilize the Highest Technically Rated with a Fair and

Reasonable Price approach to determine the awardee for this requirement. With this approach, all proposals are evaluated based on the non-price factors outlined in the solicitation and the Government will select the proposal which provides the highest technically rated solution. The price of the highest technically rated proposal is evaluated to determine if it is fair and reasonable when compared to the

Independent Government Estimate (IGE).

If the highest technically rated offeror’s price is fair and reasonable, that proposal is selected for award. If the price is determined to not fair and reasonable when compared to the IGE, the Government will move on to the next highest technically rated proposal. This process continues until a contract is awarded to the highest technically rated responsible offeror with a fair and reasonable price.

The Government will not consider tradeoffs between cost or price and non-cost or non-price factors.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

1. TECHNICAL

The offeror’s technical proposal shall be reviewed in accordance with the Work

Specification Sheet (WSS) to make a determination as to the offeror’s understanding of the work being performed. The offeror must demonstrate a thorough understanding of all aspects of the work required and must clearly articulate how they intend to perform every aspect of that work.

Offerors shall demonstrate an understanding of the requirements as described in the specification, and shall include sufficient documentation to provide evidence of that understanding, to include written summary, manufacture specifications, drawings, photos, project schedule, warranty information or any other evidence that will help to substantiate your understanding of the requirement. Technical

Proposal shall be limited to 5 pages in length.

2. PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror is encouraged to provide up to 3 examples of past performance that is both Recent (performance completed within the last 5 years) and Relevant, with relevant being the same or similar work that is performed on behalf of the Federal

Government, specifically the United States Coast Guard and/or the United States

Navy, or for a Commercial Customer. Each example of past performance should be limited to 2 pages in length, for a total of not-to-exceed 6 pages.

The Government will also review the offerors past performance record(s) in the

Contractor Performance Assessment Rating System (CPARS). Offerors with past performance in CPARS must have a minimum rating of “Satisfactory” in all applicable rating areas for entries similar in nature, size and complexity. Offerors without past performance in CPARS will receive a “neutral” for past performance evaluation.

Each Offeror’s record in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity

Information System (FAPIIS) will be also reviewed prior to award. Award will not be made to any offeror who has any adverse financial information or

Exclusions. Any offeror that has an average or Satisfactory or Neutral Past

Performance Ratings and has no adverse financial information or Exclusions shall be considered acceptable for award.

3. PRICE EVALUATION

The Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated to determine price reasonableness when compared to the Independent Government Estimate (IGE). The total evaluated price will be calculated by adding the cost of all CLINs. The

Government may enter into discussions if the Government determines that additional information is necessary to assist in making a fair and reasonable price determination.

DHS NOTICE TO OFFERORS

It is DHS policy that pricing for competitive negotiations should be based on adequate price competition. However, in the event only one responsible Offeror is obtained as a result of this solicitation, that offeror may be required to submit either Certified Cost or Pricing Data (FAR 5.4003-4) or Data Other Than

Certified Cost or Pricing Data (FAR 15.403-3) to support price negotiations.
