1. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

This acquisition will utilize Tradeoff source selection procedures in accordance with (IAW) the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.103-1 as supplemented. The Government intends to select one contractor for the LG-CSCI2 program. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines it is in the Government's best interest.

To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors shall follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors. Proposals shall consist of four (4) separate volumes; Volume I – Technical, Volume II – Price, Volume III – Past Performance; and Volume IV - Contract Documentation.

Budget / Funding Information - Funding will be obligated on each delivery order awarded under the basic contract.

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on format and content. The offeror's proposal shall include all data and information requested and shall be submitted IAW these instructions. Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be eliminated from the competition. The offeror shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Technical Requirements Document (TRD) Contract Data Requirements Lists (CDRLs), and Contract / Solicitation. Non-conformance with these instructions may result in an “Unacceptable” proposal evaluation.

Include Sufficient Detail – The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply copy and paste, rephrase, or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet or exceed these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the proposal.

Technical Data For Purposes of Proposing – Technical data shall be requested through the contracting officer via email. Offerors shall include signed copies of the Certificate for Use of Boeing Technical Data (Attachment 17), and the LG-CSCI2 Bid-Set Agreement (Attachment 10) in order to receive the data. The Bid-sets will be mailed to the contractor in the form of a Jump Drive. For purposes of proposing, offerors shall use the bid-set provided, in the event that the Screening Analysis Worksheet (SAW) in the Technical Data Package (TDP) is out of date, the Landing Gear Requirements Document (LGRD) (Attachment 9) shall be compared against the TDP and the LGRD shall take precedence for proposal purposes. In instances where similar requirements are found on both the TDP and the LGRD (e.g., shot peen, plating, IUID, etc.), the most equivalent requirement from the LGRD shall be utilized.

Embellishments Not Preferred – Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not preferred.

The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 11 of the Standard Form (SF) 1447 Solicitation/Contract. Offerors providing less than the specified calendar days for Government acceptance after the date proposals are due, may be eliminated from the competition.

IAW FAR 4.309, the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals.

Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

Point of Contact – The Contracting Officer (CO) is the only point of contact for this acquisition. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the CO. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the following address:

Contracting Officer DLA Aviation Attn: Nathan Flinders 6051 Gum Lane, Bldg. 1225 Hill AFB, UT 84056 nathan.flinders@dla.mil

Pre-Award Debriefings – The CO will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range, whereupon they may request and receive a debriefing IAW FAR 15.206-2.

mailto:nathan

Post-Award Debriefings – The CO will notify unsuccessful offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision IAW FAR 15.301-1. Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors requesting a debriefing must make their request IAW the requirements of FAR 15.206-2 or 15.301-1, as applicable.

Discrepancies – If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale.

Electronic Reference Documents – All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the www.sam.gov website. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

Communications – Exchanges of source selection information after submission of the initial proposal packages between the Government and offerors will be controlled by the contracting officer. Email may be used to transmit such information only if the email can be sent encrypted, and must include “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104” in the subject line of the email. In order to facilitate the sending and receiving of encrypted emails, offerors must use MS Outlook email configured to support encryption or a different email product that is S/MIME compatible and configured to support encryption. If you intend to submit your source selection information via encrypted email, you will need to contact the Contracting Officer indicated in the solicitation prior to first submittal in order to exchange encryption certificates. To ensure this process is working correctly, send a test encrypted message first, without including any source selection information.

Negotiations – The Government intends to award without discussions IAW FAR 15.203, but reserves the right to conduct negotiations if determined necessary.

Negotiations, if held, will be conducted IAW FAR 15.204.

Oral Presentation – Oral presentations will not be allowed.

Amendments to Solicitation – If this Request for Proposal (RFP) is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment to this request by the date and time specified in the amendment(s) by signing and returning the front page of each.

This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts. The offeror shall clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. If past performance information is being submitted under a basic ID/IQ contract/agreement, the contractor shall identify the delivery/task order relevant to LG-CSCI2. Each delivery or task order will count as one contract. The offeror shall use one PPIS for each delivery/task order cited.

Completed Team Roles & Responsibilities Worksheet – The contractor shall provide a completed roles and responsibilities worksheet in accordance with the format contained in RFP (Section J Attachment 18, Team Roles and Responsibilities) worksheet, for all proposed team members or subcontractors that meet the definition in Section M Paragraph 2.3.5.

Past Performance Citation Reference Sheet – Submit a matrix of the Prime and their team members and the contract citations that have been documented in the Past Performance Information Sheets.

An offeror’s failure to address performance problems/issues within this volume does not preclude the Government from using such information in determining a past performance rating.
