The Government has established a reading room for Offerors to retrieve pertinent information pertaining to this solicitation. Information available includes, but is not limited to, the following: documents related to the Uranium Processing Facility (UPF) and Lithium Processing Facility (LPF) projects, information related to carryover funding, and information on Government Furnished Property. Offerors may request access to this information for up to 2 four (4) personnel per potential Offeror via email request to SEB8@nnsa.doe.gov.

The Government will provide instructions via email on how to set up account information in Max.gov.

• Section L-10, Proposal Preparation Instructions – Volume II, Technical and Management

Information. Subparagraph (a)(2) is amended to read as follows:

Relevant Past Performance. Relevant past performance is performance that is similar in size, scope and complexity to the requirements in the Statement of Work (SOW). Where an Offeror has proposed a Subcontractor Team Member to perform only specific sections of the SOW, the relevance of the Subcontractor Team Member’s past performance contracts will be determined based on consideration of the specific sections of the SOW the Subcontractor Team Member is proposed to perform, as opposed to the entire SOW. However, as Tthe Offeror and/or each of the Team Members that make up the Offeror (not Subcontractor Team Members), are responsible for performance of the entire SOW, regardless of the specific sections they are proposed to perform, and, accordingly NNSA may consider, as appropriate, past performance that may not correlate with its a Team Member’s proposed role under this solicitation may still be considered if it the past performance is relevant to the SOW. For tasks within the Statement of Work for which only the incumbent contractor would have direct past performance, the Offeror may demonstrate the relevance of any analogous past performance such as work on other major weapons systems, work relating to nonproliferation of nuclear, radiological, chemical or biological weapons and related programs around the world, work relating to safeguards and security technology programs involving high hazard nuclear materials or other high hazard materials, work relating to Capital Asset Projects, Line Item Projects including Military Construction, Major Items of Equipment, transitioning capital asset construction projects to full operations; and work related to managing large scale mailto:SEB8@nnsa.doe.gov production and assembly operations. Offerors should specifically demonstrate in detail how the proposed past performance is relevant and how it qualifies the Offeror to successfully perform the applicable sections of the Statement of Work.

• Section L-10, Proposal Preparation Instructions – Volume II, Technical and Management Information. Subparagraph (a)(3)(i) is amended to read as follows:

Past Performance Information Forms (PPIFs). For each recent, relevant contract/order/project, the Offeror shall complete and submit the form at Section L, Attachment E - Past Performance Information Form (PPIF). Only one contract shall be described per PPIF. If the Offeror is a proposing a Team Member to perform or be responsible for a section of the SOW, the Offeror shall identify the Chapter and section(s) or sections of the SOW (include task area from SOW) each Team Member is proposed to perform or for which it is responsible within on the Past Performance Information Form (PPIF). The Offeror may propose Team Members that make up the Offeror (i.e., prime contractor), to lead or be responsible perform for certain portions of the SOW, however, these Team Members are responsible for the entire SOW, regardless of the specific sections they are proposed to perform. With each PPIF, the Offeror shall submit copies of any award fee determinations, performance evaluation reports, small business achievement such as Individual Subcontract Report and Summary Subcontract Report (ISRs/SSRs), or other documentation that reflects the customer’s formal performance assessments of the performance cited in the PPIF. The Offeror should submit all PPIFs and related records no later than the date and time set for receipt of proposals, as these documents are subject to the late proposals provisions at paragraph (c) of L-1, FAR 52.215-1 Instructions to Offerors -- Competitive Acquisition (Jan 2017), Alt I (Oct 1997). PPIFs, performance assessments, small business achievements (ISR/SSRs) and information concerning terminated contracts shall be included as a separate Appendix to Volume II.

Sec L Attachment E - Past Performance Info Form (PPIF)

• Item 12a on Page 1 is revised to read as follows:

Proposed SOW Task Area(s) to be performed (Offerors may also explain how the past work relates to the scope of work proposed for the team member, include Chapter and Section # from Statement of Work)- Chapter II Work Scope Structure and Chapter IV Interfaces for Uranium Processing Facility):

• Item 12a on Page 4 is revised to read as follows:

List the Statement of Work task areas under Chapter II Work Scope Structure in Section J, Appendix A, Statement of Work that you will perform under the Contract.

Sec L Attachment J - SB Subcontract Dollars & Percentages

• Section L, Attachment J - SB Subcontract Dollars & Percentages is replaced in its entirety.

Sec M - Evaluation Factors for Award

• Section M-4, Technical and Management Criteria. Subparagraph (a) is amended to read as

The Government will evaluate the Offeror's recent, relevant past performance to determine the extent to which it demonstrates the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the Statement of Work (SOW). Past performance that is not both recent and relevant (as those terms are defined in (i) and (ii) below) will not be considered. To the extent it is recent and relevant, the Government will consider past performance information submitted by the Offeror (e.g., Past Performance Information Forms and related records, such as performance assessments, small business achievements; and list of terminated contracts), Past Performance Questionnaires, as well as past performance information that the Government obtains from other sources. The evaluation may also consider the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in the contractor’s performance. The Government will not apportion past performance under a DOE, NNSA, or other contract differently among parent companies that have teamed or formed a joint entity for the purposes of said contract. Rather, all parent companies under a contract will be equally credited (positively and negatively) for past performance for that contract. In the case of an Offeror without a meaningful record of relevant past performance or for whom information on relevant past performance is not available, the Offeror will be evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably in this criterion, and will be assigned a neutral rating.

• Section M-4, Technical and Management Criteria. Subparagraph (a)(ii) is amended to read as

Relevant Past Performance. Relevant past performance is performance that is similar in size, scope and complexity to the requirements in the Statement of Work. Where an Offeror has proposed a Subcontractor Team Member to perform only specific sections of the SOW, the relevance of that Subcontractor’s Team Member’s past performance contracts will be determined based on consideration of the specific sections of the SOW the Subcontractor Team Member is proposed to perform, as opposed to the entire SOW. However, as tThe Offeror and each of the Team Members that make up the Offeror (not Subcontractor Team Members) are responsible for performance of the entire SOW, NNSA may consider, as appropriate, regardless of the specific sections they are proposed to perform, and, accordingly past performance that may not correlate with its a Team Member’s proposed role under this solicitation may still be considered if it the past performance is relevant to the SOW. With respect to tasks within the Statement of Work for which only the incumbent contractor would have direct past performance, the Government will evaluate the relevance of analogous past performance such as: (i) work on other major weapons systems; (ii) work relating to nonproliferation of nuclear, radiological, chemical or biological weapons and related programs around the world; (iii) work relating to safeguards and security technology programs involving high hazard nuclear materials or other high hazard materials; (iv) work relating to Capital Asset Projects, Line Item Projects including Military Construction, Major Items of Equipment, and transitioning capital asset construction projects to full operations; and (v) work related to managing large scale production and assembly operations.

• Section M-4, Technical and Management Criteria. Subparagraph (b)(2) is amended to read as
