In addition, the Contracting Officer is the only individual who can legally commit the Government to the expenditure of public funds in connection with this acquisition.

Offerors shall carefully follow the instructions contained herein to assure timely and equitable evaluation, and to avoid exclusion from further consideration. It is an offeror's responsibility to submit a well-written proposal, with adequately detailed information which demonstrates its clear understanding of, and compliance with, the solicitation requirements.

Proposals shall be complete and clear in all respects without the need for additional explanation or information. Offerors shall ensure proposals provide a straightforward and concise delineation of capabilities to perform the contract.

Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, and relevance are of prime importance.

The proposals shall provide sufficient detail and scope to permit the Government to evaluate them in accordance with the evaluation factors specified below.

Offerors shall confine their proposals to essential matters sufficient to define their offer, which will provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Likewise, where applicable, offerors are cautioned against general, vague, or unsubstantiated statements, which prevent, or render difficult, the Government’s evaluation. Statements such as, "will comply," or "noted and understood" without supporting discussion to define compliance are not acceptable. Further, where applicable, proposals that fail to provide the required information or approach to meeting the solicitation’s requirements, are not acceptable and may render the offeror unsuitable for award. The Government will not assume that an offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment that is not specifically delineated and supported in its respective proposal. An offeror who was or is an incumbent or subcontractor for an incumbent for any of the previous contracts is still required to demonstrate in its proposal that the offeror meets the requirements stated in this solicitation. An offeror shall not, based upon the offeror’s incumbency, presume the Government’s knowledge regarding its performance, capabilities, skills, or any other aspect which is not specifically provided in its proposal.

All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. Each file of the proposal shall consist of a Table of Contents, Summary Section, and the Narrative discussion.

The Summary Section shall contain a brief abstract of the file. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked. The following shall be included in each volume:

(i) VOLUME I – Technical Approach. The offeror’s proposal shall reflect a clear understanding of the nature of the tasks required by the PWS. For evaluation purposes only, offerors will not address all of the requirements delineated in the PWS.

Instead, the offeror’s proposal shall clearly demonstrate the offeror’s approach to meet each of the following specific requirements delineated in the PWS:

a. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet all of the requirements delineated in Attachment 11 (Chapters 6 and 7), RSP PPOM 23-001 and Attachment 08 (Chapter 4), Retention Leader Guide. The offeror shall only address those items that pertain to the offeror and not to the Government. Moreover, in the event that any offeror deviates from these attachments, it shall specifically address any deviation from these attachments, and identify the benefit associated with the deviation;

b. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet the requirement for use, management, and processing of packets through the Vulcan system, Respond to and address trouble tickets, delineated in paragraphs in 5.0, 5.1.1-5.5;

c. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet all of the Training Seat Utilization Services requirements delineated in paragraph in 5.8 and all subordinate PWS paragraphs thereunder;

d. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet all of the Basic Training Site

Support Services requirements delineated in paragraph in 5.9;

e. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet all of the RSP Retention

Services requirements delineated in paragraph in 5.10 and all subordinate PWS paragraphs thereunder;

f. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet all of the Quality Control Plan requirements delineated in paragraph in 5.11.

g. Offeror’s shall address their ability to meet all of the RSP Leadership SYNC

Meetings (SYNC Meetings) requirements delineated in paragraph in 5.15;

(ii) VOLUME II – Staffing Plan. Offerors shall provide a Staffing Table in accordance with Solicitation Attachment 2, Staffing Table Tab to meet ALL requirements of the PWS, and shall include teaming partners, subcontractors, and locations of staffing. It is incumbent upon each contractor to list and define all labor to be utilized to satisfactorily complete ALL the requirements of the PWS along with the quality of labor to be utilized. The offerors shall define each labor category utilized, and include the experiential, educational, certification, and any other requirements for each labor category. The offeror shall provide the hours per labor category to be performed to support the requirements they are assigned to in Attachment 2.

Offerors shall use not less than 1,872 hours for a non-SCA covered Full Time

Equivalent (FTE) employee and not less than 1,856 hours for an SCA covered FTE within their proposal.

Offerors shall provide a PWS Cross Reference Table in accordance with

Solicitation Attachment 2, Labor/PWS Cross Reference Tab to map how they satisfactorily complete ALL the requirements of the PWS. The offerors shall identify for the PWS paragraphs provided within the Attachment 2, Labor/PWS Cross Reference Tab each labor category that will be responsible for performing part or all of the work identified for that paragraph or any associated sub paragraph (e.g., 5.3.3 is listed but that would include 5.3.3.1 through 5.3.3.4). If no direct labor will be utilized to perform the function, please provide as such for that specific PWS paragraph.

The staffing plan submitted by the offeror may be incorporated into the contract at award. Failure to document staffing for each PWS requirement may cause the offeror’s submission to be evaluated as unacceptable, which would make such submission ineligible for award. The offeror shall not alter the staffing table to add or delete columns. The offeror’s staffing table is not subject to the page limitations identified in Table 2. However, offerors shall not include any information in their staffing table template other than information specifically related to the Attachment 2 Staffing Table Template. Including information that is not specifically related to the offeror’s staffing table, may cause the offeror’s submission to be evaluated as unacceptable, which would make such submission ineligible for award.

Please be advised that the Government does not want offerors to identify specific individuals in the Staffing Table Template Tab. Rather, the Government seeks to understand the roles individuals will fill. Do not include resumes in any volume;

resumes WILL NOT be reviewed or evaluated.

In addition to providing a Staffing Plan in accordance with Solicitation

Attachment 2, the offeror shall submit a Staffing Approach, which is a separate document and is subject to the page limitations identified in Table 2. The Staffing Approach must be definitive and provide a clear understanding of how the offeror intends to meet all requirements throughout the term of the contract, to include teaming arrangements if applicable. At a minimum, the Staffing Approach shall describe following:

a. The offeror shall identify all positions they deem as “Key Billets” within their performance of the contract. Note, the Government is not interested in Key Personnel, but rather the billets they fill, as personnel can (and always do) change. Key Billets in this instance are billets that the offeror considers as significantly influencing successful planning or performance of the contract. (DO NOT PROVIDE RESUMES, THEY WILL

NOT BE REVIEWED).

b. Offerors shall explain their rationale for identifying a position as a “Key

Billet.” Offerors shall tie their rationale back to specific duties and responsibilities.

c. Offerors shall explain method of incentivizing retention of identified Key

Billet; this includes any fringe benefits for SCA-Exempt employees.

d. For both Key and Non-key Billets, offerors shall explain strategies to: 1)

Recruit and retain a qualified and capable workforce that can accomplish the entire scope of the effort outlined in the PWS; and 2) maintain employee’s industry-specific knowledge and skills, continuous learning, and training on new industry technologies.

e. The offerors Staffing Approach shall also provide any other supplemental description of its Staffing Approach to assist the Government’s evaluation of the Offeror’s Staffing Plan. For example, this is an opportunity for offerors to explain their approach to staffing complexities such as overlapping labor/multiple responsibilities (e.g., “dual-hatted” individuals), part time employees, or narrative to help explain the combination of proposed staff to meet a PWS paragraphs within the PWS Cross Reference Table. This is also an opportunity to explain the benefits of the offeror’s approach that may be overlooked by simply reviewing the proposed hours, labor mix, etc.

(iii) VOLUME III – Past Performance. This volume shall contain past performance information regarding similar Contracts or Orders. Offerors shall submit no more than three (3) recent and relevant past performance examples of Government and/or commercial Contracts or Orders for the prime offeror. Offerors may utilize the past performance of a major subcontractor for one (1) of the 3 past performance examples. Major subcontractor is defined as a contractor that performs 10% or more of the proposed price per year. Recent is defined as performance completed within or awarded during the past five (5) years, from the issue date of this RFP. Relevant efforts are defined as services/efforts that are the same as or similar to the scope, magnitude and complexity of the solicitation requirements, as well as the effort as compared to NAICS code 541611 required by the RFP. Scope for the RSP effort is defined as providing a full range of recruiting support services, maintenance support, quality assurance of documents, training, data entry, and support to the numerous personnel geographically spread across the 54 state and territories. Magnitude for the RSP effort is approximately $85-$95M in value. Complexity of the RSP effort is providing a full range of recruiting support services, maintenance support, quality assurance of documents, training, data entry, and support to the numerous personnel geographically spread across the 54 state and territories identified above.

Examples concerning the offeror shall be provided first, followed by each proposed major subcontractor (an entity performing 10% or more of the proposed effort), in alphabetical order. The offeror shall also submit the written consent of any major subcontractor whose performance is being submitted to allow the disclosure of its subcontractor’s past performance information to the offeror. In addition, letters of commitment shall be included for all major subcontractors whose past performance is proposed in this section.

Offerors shall not use base IDIQ contracts as examples, and shall limit each example description to a single contract or a single task order under an IDIQ contract. However, if multiple task orders under an IDIQ contract are for the same effort and need to be viewed holistically to fully respond to the Government’s request for a past performance reference of similar scope and complexity, offerors may reference the IDIQ contract and include multiple task order contract numbers in the description, but must justify that approach in their description.
