INFORMATIONAL PRICING NOTE:

TUPE - (Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 Definition. The United Kingdom's Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006 (TUPE) is the main piece of legislation governing the transfer of an undertaking, or part of one, to another. The regulations are designed to protect the rights of employees in a transfer situation.

During the solicitation phase and award of the resultant contract the Government does not have access to specific TUPE information nor becomes involved with related TUPE processes and associated liabilities (to include indemnification) that may transpire during pre-award or post-award phases between transferor and transferee. While the Government understands the relevance of TUPE- information in proposing fixed prices, the responsibility to provide TUPE-information rests solely with the transferor; governed by Regulation 11 of the Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employees) Regulations 2006 (TUPE). As the transferor need only provide TUPE information to the transferee prior to the transfer, the Government will only make available the listing of the current, incumbent contractor(s) with associated points of contact if requested. The Government is not responsible for determination of TUPE applicability; the responsibility lies solely with the transferor.

As this is a firm-fixed price contract it is incumbent upon the offeror to calculate any anticipated TUPE pricing at time of quote submittal. TUPE costs cannot be submitted as a conditional proposal, if submitted as such the offeror's quote will be considered unacceptable and the offeror may be excluded from competition.

Notice to Offeror(s)/Supplier(s): Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation, either before or after the closing date. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

The Government's terms, conditions, and respective clauses contained within this solicitation are prescribed in accordance with United States Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR), and are not subject to conditionally proposed revisions or changes requested by offerors. Offerors' specific terms and conditions that may be contingently proposed for subsequent inclusion into the contract, if awarded, will not be considered by the Government in its evaluation of Offers. Offerors that are not able to comply with the aforementioned conditions, will be determined as noncompliant with the solicitation requirements, and therefore may be removed from consideration for award.

Evaluation Criteria

52.212-2 – Evaluation – Commercial Items

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, technical factors and price considered. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's initial quote should contain the offeror's best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government’s award decision will not be limited to the offer that only meets the technical minimum and provides the lowest price.

The Government will evaluate quotes based on two primary evaluation factors (Technical Capability and Price). All factors and significant subfactors will be rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. An unacceptable rating for any of the factors or significant subfactors will result in an overall unacceptable rating for the entire quotation.

1. Technical Capability: The Government will evaluate technical capability using the four subfactors below. In order to receive an acceptable rating for this factor, the contractor must receive an acceptable rating for each of the following subfactors.

· Subfactor 1 – Performance Plan: The Government will evaluate the extent to which the offeror provides a clear and detailed plan demonstrating their approach to fulfilling the mission planning services as required in the Performance Work Statement.

· Subfactor 2 – Contractor Qualifications: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s submission to determine whether sufficient evidence is provided to demonstrate that contractor personnel possess the necessary qualifications and capabilities to perform services in accordance with the Performance Work Statement.

· Subfactor 3 – Continuation of Essential Contractor Supplies: The Government will evaluate the offeror’s written plan to determine if it sufficiently addresses the requirements set forth in provision 252.237-7024, Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services.

· Subfactor 4 – Past Experience: The Government will consider the offeror’s submission to determine whether examples of services provided within the last five (5) years sufficiently demonstrate relevant experience in performing mission planning services.

2. Price: The Government will evaluate prices submitted in the Quote Sheet to determine a fair, reasonable and realistic price in accordance with FAR 13.106-3. Failure to provide the documentation described in the Instructions to Offerors above may result in the offer being deemed non-responsive and ineligible for award.

a) The Government will only evaluate prices submitted on the Quote Sheet. During the evaluation process the Government Evaluation Team will determine a total proposed price for each responsive offer. The extended price for each CLIN in the base period and each option period will be added together to determine the total price. NOTE: Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

b) In accordance with FAR 52.217-8 Option to Extend Services, the Government may require continued performance of any of the services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. For evaluation purposes the Government will add fifty percent (50%) of the total sum for the extended amount of the final option period to each offeror’s total price to arrive at the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Offerors shall not submit a price for the Extension of Services clause.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offeror’s specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

3. 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).

(2) “Mission-essential functions” means those organizational activities that must be performed under all circumstances to achieve DoD component missions or responsibilities, as determined by the appropriate functional commander or civilian equivalent.

(e) The Government reserves the right in such crisis situations to use Federal employees, military personnel or contract support from other contractors, or to enter into new contracts for essential contractor services.

(f) Changes. The Contractor shall segregate and separately identify all costs incurred in continuing performance of essential services in a crisis situation. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer of an increase or decrease in costs within ninety days after continued performance has been directed by the Contracting Officer, or within any additional period that the Contracting Officer approves in writing, but not later than the date of final payment under the contract. The Contractor’s notice shall include the Contractor’s proposal for an equitable adjustment and any data supporting the increase or decrease in the form prescribed by the Contracting Officer. The parties shall negotiate an equitable price adjustment to the contract price, delivery schedule, or both as soon as is practicable after receipt of the Contractor’s proposal.
