To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, Offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The response shall consist of

Section I - Technical Proposal, Section II – Past Performance Information, and Section III – Price/Contract

Documentation.

The contracting officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

Upon examination of the initial offers, the contracting officer will review this determination and if, in the contracting officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition, the contracting officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

Documents submitted in response to this Request for Proposal (RFP) must be fully responsive to and consistent with the following:

• Requirements of the RFP, Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) & the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

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

(d) The offeror shall fill-in Section A, Blocks 12 through Blocks 18 of SF 33 of the proposal documentation.

The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation. The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

1.2. Number of Contracts to be Awarded:

The Government intends to select one contractor for the Command and Control System – Consolidated (CCS-C) requirement. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the proposals and prices submitted and the availability of funds.

1.3. Rejection of Unrealistic Offers:

https://orca.bpn.gov/

The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low in cost/price when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

1.4. Correction Potential of Proposals:

The Government will consider, throughout the evaluation, the "correction potential" of any proposal uncertainty.

The judgment of such "correction potential" is within the sole discretion of the Government. If an aspect of an offeror's proposal not meeting the Government's requirements is not considered correctable, the offeror may be eliminated from the competitive range.

1.5. Evaluation Factors

1.5.1. Technical Acceptability

Initially, the Government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable, Reasonably Susceptible of Being Made Acceptable, or Unacceptable. Only those technical proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. The proposals shall be evaluated against the following subfactors:

Subfactor One: Technical Capability

Subfactor Two: Personnel Resumes

Each subfactor within the Technical Acceptability factor will receive one of the ratings described below. Subfactor ratings shall not be rolled up into an overall rating for the Technical Acceptability factor. An “Unacceptable” subfactor assessment will render the offer unawardable. The following technical rating definitions will be used in the assessment of technical capability:

Rating Description

Acceptable The proposal meets specified minimum requirements necessary for acceptable contract performance.

Reasonably The proposal does not clearly meet some specified minimum requirements

Susceptible of Being necessary for acceptable contract performance, but there is reason to believe that

Made Acceptable through minor revisions, an acceptable proposal could result. For award without discussions these proposals are considered “unacceptable.”

Unacceptable The proposal fails to meet specified minimum requirements necessary for contract performance. Proposals with an unacceptable rating are not awardable.

1.5.1.1. Subfactor One: Technical Capability

Description: The subfactor minimum is met when the Offeror describes in detail their capabilities, related experience and proposed approach for executing the PWS requirements with emphasis on those elements listed

a. Systems Engineering (PWS 2.1.1).

b. Application Familiarization/Knowledge Experience with Software Requirement Specification, System/Subsystem Design Document, Telemetry and Commanding, Mission Planning System and DOORs (PWS

2.1.2, 2.1.3, 2.1.4, 2.1.5)

1.5.1.2. Subfactor Two: Personnel Resumes

Description: The subfactor minimum is met when the Offeror provides a resume for each potential employee with related experience to this requirement and possess a current Secret security clearance.

1.5.2. Price Evaluation Factor:

Price Evaluation: The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated for award purposes by adding the total price for all contract line items to include option contract line items as stated in Section B, Schedule.

Unrealistically Low Costs or Prices: Unrealistically low proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or the offeror has made an unrealistic proposal.

1.5.3. Past Performance Factor:

Offeror shall provide a maximum of five relevant past performance information with organizations, contract numbers, contracting officers and points of contact (with names, address, phone numbers and email address).

Offerors shall identify (no more than five years old as of 1 Apr 2006) past or current contracts for efforts similar to the Government requirement. Offerors are authorized to provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts and the offeror corretive actions. Offerors will not be penalized if no past performance information is available. Past performance will either be satisfactory, neutral, or unsatisfactory where satisfactory equals a neutral for determination of responsibility, and unsatisfactory equals a determination of non-responsibility.

Any unsatisfactory rating given to a small business will be referred to the Small Business Administration pursuant to

FAR 15.101-2(b) and 19.6 for resolution.

1.6. Evaluation Methodology:

Technical acceptability will be evaluated on all offers. Only those offerors determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Then, price will be evaluated and the proposals will be listed from lowest to highest price based on the total evaluated price.

Then, the offerors’ past performance will be evaluated starting with the lowest price technically acceptable offer.

Only those offerors determined to have a satisfactory or neutral past performance rating, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. Past performance evaluations will cease when the first two technically acceptable proposals receive an acceptable past performance rating for price comparison purposes. Award will be made to the lowest evaluated priced, technically acceptable proposal meeting a satisfactory or neutral past performance.

1.7. Discussions:

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions; therefore, it is imperative that offerors submit their best terms initially.

1.8. SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS:

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.
