Section C.1 – C.8 – Description/Specifications

C.1 BACKGROUND

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Office of Nuclear Incident Response (NA-84) is the premier technical leader in responding to and successfully resolving nuclear and radiological incidents or accidents. Technical teams are prepared to search for radioactive material and help manage the consequences of a release of radioactive material into the environment. One of these assets, NNSA's Aerial Measuring System (AMS), has specialized airborne radiation detection systems to provide real-time measurements of low levels of air and ground contamination or other material. The trained experts, equipment, and aircraft maintain a state of readiness to respond to a radiological emergency at any time. The aircraft operations are at Joint Base Andrews, MD, and Nellis Air Force Base, Las Vegas, NV.

These aerial survey flight envelopes are from fifty (50) feet to three thousand (3,000) feet above ground level (AGL), at speeds from sixty (60) to eighty (80) knots ground speed. A crew of six will consist of two (2) pilots, two (2) technical specialists that operate the detection equipment, and two (2) mission personnel. Survey flight patterns are predominately parallel line patterns with precise, narrow offset distances and constant (as much as practical) above ground level (AGL) altitudes, often performed over congested areas of the country. Helicopters will be operated predominately from civil or military airports, not elevated platforms.

Two (2) of the AMS aircraft, Bell 412HP helicopters, have reached the point where increasing unscheduled maintenance is adversely affecting the mission readiness posture (24-hour/365-day Emergency Response). Replacing these two helicopters with two new or used mission capable rotary wing aircraft will begin in Fiscal Year 2020. This document sets the requirements for these replacement aircraft.

Helicopter flight hour program is projected to be two hundred fifty (250) hours per year.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1 EVALUATION OF PROPOSALS

This acquisition will be conducted pursuant to the policies and procedures in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Parts 12 and 15 and Department of Energy Acquisition Regulation (DEAR) Parts 912 and 915. NNSA has established an Integrated Project Team (IPT) to evaluate the proposals submitted for this acquisition.

A proposal will be eliminated from further consideration if the proposal is so grossly and obviously deficient as to be totally unacceptable on its face. For example, a proposal will be deemed unacceptable if it does not represent a reasonable initial effort to address itself to the essential requirements of the RFP, or if it clearly demonstrates that the Offeror does not understand the requirements of the RFP. An overall rating of unsatisfactory in one evaluation criterion may also result in elimination of the proposal from further consideration regardless of the rating of the other criteria. In the event that a proposal is rejected, a notice will be sent to the Offeror stating the reasons that the proposal will not be considered for further evaluation under this solicitation.

NNSA intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from both a technical and price standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

Exceptions or deviations to any terms and conditions of the solicitation will not render the proposal unacceptable; however, any exceptions or deviations may make the offer unacceptable for award without discussions. If an Offeror proposes exceptions to the terms and conditions, the Government may make an award without discussions to another Offeror that did not take exception to the terms and conditions of the solicitation.

M.2 BASIS OF CONTRACT AWARD

NNSA intends to award one contract to the responsible Offeror whose proposal is responsive to the solicitation and is determined to be the best value to the Government. However, the Government reserves the right to make no award if it is considered to be in the Government's best interest to do so.

Selection of the best value to the Government will be achieved through a process of evaluating and assessing the strengths and weaknesses of each Offeror's proposal against the evaluation criteria described below, which are listed in descending order of relative importance: Criterion 1 –Technical Capability/Experience; Criterion 2 – Past Performance; Criterion 3 – Price. When combined, Technical Capability/Experience and Past Performance, are significantly more important than price; however, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision.

To the extent that the Offerors’ technical proposals are evaluated as close or similar in merit, price is more likely to be a determining factor. The Government is more concerned with obtaining a superior technical proposal than making an award at the lowest price. However, the Government will not make an award at a price premium it considers disproportionate to the benefits associated with the evaluated superiority of one Offeror over another.

Contract Line Items (CLINs) 2-7 Government will select and award based on availability of funds and value to the mission.

M.3 EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Offeror's proposal will be evaluated against the evaluation criteria as they relate to the requirements of the solicitation. The evaluation criteria are listed in descending order of relative importance.

a) Evaluation Criterion 1 – Technical Capability/Experience. The IPT will evaluate and assess the technical capability and experience for up to five (5) contracts to determine the degree to which the Offeror demonstrates its ability to successfully perform the required Helicopter manufacturing requirements; as demonstrated by experience of similar size, scope and complexity to the specifications

Solicitation TBD outlined in the PWS and Section M.8 CLIN 001 Mandatory Specifications and M.9, Option CLINS Minimum Requirements. The IPT will also evaluate the Offeror's technical capability and experience.

b) Evaluation Criterion 2 – Past Performance. The IPT will evaluate and assess the past performance of the technical capability and experience cited in Criterion 1, including any recent and relevant past performance information that the Government obtained from other sources, to determine the degree to which the past performance demonstrates the Offeror's ability to successfully perform the requirements in accordance with the PWS in Attachment 1. If the Offeror does not have a record of recent or relevant past performance information on contracts similar to the PWS, or past performance information is otherwise not available, the Offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will be assigned a "neutral" rating.

c) Evaluation Criterion 3 – Price. Price will not be rated; however, the IPT will evaluate the total prices inclusive of all contract line items, the basic year and all option years. The IPT will evaluate the price proposal for completeness, reasonableness and balance, as defined below:

Completeness: The Offeror submitted all price information/data required in the RFP in accordance with the solicitation pricing instructions. The pricing proposed on Attachment(s) 14, PRICE PROPOSAL SPREADSHEET shall correspond to the associated CLIN prices. The DOE/NNSA will correct any discrepancy between the proposed pricing on Attachment 14, PRICE PROPOSAL SPREADSHEET and the associated Contract Schedule B CLIN prices and the DOE/NNSA will adjust the contract’s Schedule B CLIN prices to match Attachment 14, PRICE PROPOSAL

SPREADSHEET.

Reasonableness: Price is fully justified and supported and is considered fair and reasonable under current market conditions. Reasonableness may be determined by one or more of the proposal analysis techniques identified in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). Furthermore, the Offeror’s price proposal shall be traceable to the PWS and information presented in the Offeror’s technical proposal. A price proposal that does not correspond to the associated PWS and technical proposal may reflect an inherent lack of technical competence, or indicate a failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the proposed work, and may be grounds to reject the proposal.

Balance (applicable to two or more priced CLINS): Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more CLIN(s) is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques. An offer may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government. In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g)(2) price analysis will be conducted on the individual CLIN to determine whether unbalanced pricing occurred.

M.4 52.212-2 Evaluation - Commercial Items. (OCT 2014)

(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

M.6 52.217-5 Evaluation of Options. (JUL 1990)

M.8 CLIN 001 MANDATORY SPECIFICATIONS

CLIN 0001 - Helicopter Base Configuration – Mandatory Specifications will be evaluated on an Acceptable and Unacceptable basis. All mandatory specifications under Factor 1, Sub-Factor A, shall be met for consideration. If the offeror does not meet all of the mandatory specifications as “Acceptable”, the offeror’s proposal will not be considered.

Acceptable: Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meets the requirements of the solicitation.
