B. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. General Instructions and Information. These instructions prescribe the format of proposals and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the proposed data. The offeror's proposal must be submitted in accordance with these instructions.

a. This solicitation is being conducted in accordance with FAR 15.3 Source Selection, the DoD Source Selection Procedures dated 31 March 2016, and AFFARS 5315.3 including Mandatory Procedures (MP) 5315.3 and Informational Guidance (IG) 5315.404-3.

b. Offers will be evaluated using the Factors and Subfactors in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award.

c. The Government intends to award using the Technical/Price Tradeoff (TPT) approach. Technical proposals will be evaluated and assigned combined technical/risk ratings, which reflect the extent to which the proposal meets the Government's specified performance and capability requirements, considering risk in conjunction with any relative strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies associated with the proposed approach. The Government may award to a higher-priced offeror if it is determined by the Source Selection Authority (SSA) that the superior technical approach outweighs the price difference. It is the Government's intent to incorporate the Offeror's technical approach (GEODSS System Technical) in part or in its entirety, the Small Business Participation Commitment Document, and approved OCI Mitigation Plan (if applicable) into the contract as an attachment in Section J.

d. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested. A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support performance claims in a complete and orderly manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered non-responsive. Non-compliance with the RFP may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

e. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and validation 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. The absence of such convincing rationale will adversely influence evaluation of the proposal. 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.

Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not acceptable.

f. The proposal acceptance period is specified in Block 12, Section A of the solicitation (SF33). The Offeror shall make a clear statement in Section A that the proposal is valid 270 calendar days from receipt of offers. This period may be extended upon the mutual agreement of the Offeror and the Contracting Officer. By signing the SF33, the offeror agrees the above stated period.

g. Proposals shall not contain classified information.

h. Alternate proposals will not be accepted.

i. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of unsuccessful proposals.

2. Format Instructions. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Each copy shall be complete in itself.

The proposal should include all of the information requested in the subparagraphs. Failure to do so may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that is sufficiently documented in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

a. Proposal Copies and Binding. For ease of evaluation, the required proposal formats and extent of data are described below.

1) Binding. The original and each copy of the proposal will be separately bound in a standard loose-leaf, three-ring binder. The number of copies required is specified in Table 1 below. Elaborate format and binding are not acceptable. All binders will lie flat when opened. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the offeror's name, RFP number, RFP title (i.e., GEODSS), and copy number (e.g., copy 2 of 6, 3 of 6, etc). The original for each binder will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages.

2) Electronic Copies. The content and page size of electronic copies must be identical to the hard copies; if there is a discrepancy, the hard copy will take precedence. The electronic (softcopy) proposal shall be Microsoft Office 2010 compatible or later versions. The softcopy version of the proposal will be submitted on Digital Versatile Disk (DVD). Replacement disks will be required to update the final proposal resulting from any discussions and updates. Offerors are advised to perform a computer virus check prior to submission.

3) Proposal Organization, Number of Copies, and Page Limitations. Offerors' proposals shall consist of three (3) separate factors: Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical, Factor 2 - Small Business Commitment, and Factor 3 - Price Documents. The titles and contents of each Factor should be as defined in this document, all of which shall be within the required page limits and with the number of copies as specified in the table below. Total page count will be based on the printed proposal submission. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal, but will be removed and returned to the offeror.

D. PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. VOLUME 1 - GEODSS System Technical (Factor 1). GEODSS System Technical will be evaluated at the Subfactor level. Each of the 4 Subfactors will be assigned a combined technical/risk rating, as described in Section M. Using the instructions provided below and in consideration of the assessment criteria, provide as specifically as possible the approach you would use for accomplishing the technical requirements contained in Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical. By your proposal submission you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the RFP.

Performance or capabilities proposed above mandatory minimums may be incorporated in part or in its entirety into the contract. Submit your technical proposal for Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical addressing the following:

a. GEODSS Optical SENSOR Operations and Support (Subfactor 1). Provide an approach for Government's Optical SENSOR Operations and Support performance requirements. Include a proposed monthly Operations crew schedule (using the Operations Crew Schedule format provided in Attachment 2, Tab 1, Ops Crew Schedule) demonstrating an approach to Optical SENSOR Operations and Support requirements without gaps in shift coverage or in fully qualified Operations personnel.

b. GEODSS Mission System Maintenance Management (Subfactor 2). Provide an approach for Government's Mission System Maintenance Management requirements. Include a proposed monthly Maintenance crew schedule (using the Maintenance Crew Schedule format provided in Attachment 2, Tab 2, Maint Crew Schedule) demonstrating an approach for the maintenance and repair of the GEODSS mission system without gaps in shift coverage or in fully qualified Maintenance personnel.

c. GEODSS Staffing (Subfactor 3). Provide an approach to the Government's requirements, as specified in the PWS. The approach shall provide a composition of the proposed workforce by site, showing labor category, Full Time Equivalents (FTEs), and associated number of hours to meet or exceed ALL Mission and Site requirements, including management, quality and administrative personnel, for the base period and all option years. Use the Staffing Matrix format provided (Attachment 3), and include labor category descriptions, position title, relevant experience, education, certifications, licensing, applicable security clearances, as well as responsibilities necessary to meet or exceed all Mission and Site Requirements. If cross-utilization of any position is proposed, the benefits derived from this approach shall be addressed and clearly describe how this will benefit the Government.

d. GEODSS Retention (Subfactor 4). Provide a tailored approach for each of the three GEODSS Detachments to recruit, train, incentivize and retain qualified personnel considering the unique challenges at each location.

2. VOLUME 2 - Small Business Commitment (Factor 2). The offeror shall submit a "Small Business Participation Commitment Document" which specifies the offeror's level of commitment to small business utilization in performance of this requirement. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document will be incorporated into the apparent successful offeror's Small Business Subcontracting Plan prior to award. Factor 2 - Small Business Commitment will be evaluated on an "acceptable/ unacceptable" basis as described in Section M, paragraph M.C.4. An offeror's proposal must receive an "acceptable" rating in order to be eligible for award. If your company is registered as a small business under NAICS 517919 in the System for Award Management (SAM), a Small Business Participation Commitment Document is not required and will be given a rating of "Acceptable". All other proposals must address the following:

a. A minimum quantitative requirement (MQR) of 15% of total contract cost for small business concern participation is required. (Total contract cost is defined as the cumulative total cost of all the exercised options).

For example, in the base period, before option year 1 is exercised, 15% of the total contract cost is 15% of the cost of the base period. Once option year 1 is exercised, 15% of the total contract cost is 15% of the total cost of the base period plus option year 1, and so on. The 15% calculation will be based on the cost of each option when it is exercised; subsequent additions to the contract cost during that year - i.e. IJOs - will not affect the 15% calculation.

Proposed Contract Value $

Minimum Quantitative Requirement (MQR) - Small Business Participation

(Including Small Business prime offeror's participation)

b. Signed teaming agreements in which each small business concern utilized as a teaming partner or subcontractor is specifically identified and formally committed to by name. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document will be incorporated into the contract upon award.

3. VOLUME 3 - Price Documents (Factor 3). The purpose of this factor is to provide information to the Government to determine price fair and reasonable.

a. Price Information. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition for this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. If at any time during this acquisition the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information necessary for the CO to determine the price fair and reasonable in accordance with FAR 15.403-5.

1) Insert proposed unit and extended prices in Section B of the solicitation for each Fixed Price Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including all option periods, down to the subCLIN level, if applicable. When extending the Fixed Price CLINs, use twelve months of service as the quantity for each option year CLIN; exceptions being the phase-in CLINs (quantity of two months), the base period CLINs (quantity of eight months), and Extension of Services CLINs (quantity of six months).

Offerors must propose on every contract line item, even if it is $0.00, in order to be considered for award. Phase-in CLINs will not be included in the total evaluated price.

2) The Government has established contract estimates for the Cost Reimbursable CLINs, under Section B of the solicitation. These numbers should not be adjusted by the offeror.

3) The Government shall incorporate all current and applicable Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and Department of Labor Wage Determinations (WDs) into Section J of the RFP. For those positions covered by CBA, the contractor must meet the minimum requirements of the CBA and shall also propose the latest negotiated labor rate, FY20, for all contract years. Do not escalate proposed out-year CBA labor rates. Subsequent option year CBA labor rates and associated costs shall not be escalated. Wage increase adjustments for subsequent option years will be made as authorized and in accordance with FAR 52.222-43 "Fair Labor Standards Act and Service Contract Labor Standards

- Price Adjustment (Multiple Year and Option Contracts)" if and when terms of the applicable CBA change. At that time the contractor will be authorized to submit requests for equitable adjustments for subsequent option year increases if all applicable FAR clause requirements have been met.

4) Provide a summary page of the total proposed price for each CLIN, in the order listed in Section B of the solicitation, for phase-in, the base period, and each option year. All offerors must submit a fully completed summary page using Attachment 4, CLIN Schedule Worksheet.

i. For fixed priced CLINs, list the CLIN number, the unit price, and the extended amount, down to the subCLIN level.

ii. For cost reimbursable CLINs, list the CLIN number and propose the costs established by the Government as found in Attachment 4 CLIN Schedule Worksheet.

iii. For Individual Job Order (IJO) CLINs, propose $0.00 as these will be subject to separate negotiation as the individual jobs arise.

5) All dollar amounts for all CLINs/subCLINs should be proposed in whole dollar amounts.

6) The Government is providing to offerors the Government Furnished Property (GFP) listed in the Bidders' Library. If the offeror is proposing to use GFP currently in its possession, it shall identify such GFP in accordance with FAR 45.201(c). In addition to the amount of rent that would otherwise be charged, the offeror shall include the basis and or calculation of the submitted rental amount. The offeror shall submit this data in formats readable by MS Excel 2010, with all formulas and data intact, editable, and unlocked.

7) Identify termination costs in the Attachment 4 CLIN Schedule Worksheet. Termination costs will not be included in the total evaluated price.

4. VOLUME 4 -Contract Documents. As part of the proposal submission, include the following:

a. Section A - Completed Standard Form 33 (Solicitation, Offer, and Award). Completed form signed by the offeror constitutes an offer, which the Government may accept. The "original" copy should be clearly marked under separate cover and should be provided without any punched holes. The offeror's proposal shall include a signed copy of the Model Contract, which are Sections A through K of the RFP, completed as required.

b. Completed Section K, Offeror's Representations (Prime). Complete the FAR representations and certifications in the System for Award Management (SAM) website at http://www.sam.gov. However, if any FAR or DFARS representations and certifications required are not included in SAM, submit the completed representation or certification as part of this chapter. Additionally, include any FAR, DFARS, or AFFARS clause requiring fill-in information, as well as any other acknowledgments required.

c. Cognizant DCAA/DCMA Office. Identify your cognizant DCAA and DCMA office, including point of contact, address and telephone number. Provide a description of your estimating, accounting, pricing, purchasing, and property management system (as applicable) and state whether it has been reviewed and approved by your ACO.

l. Continuance of Performance/Mission Essential Services. Submit all information required by DFARS clause 252.237-7024 "Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services (Oct 2010)".

m. Organizational Conflict of Interest. There is potential organizational conflict of interest (see FAR Subpart 9.5, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest) with the MOSSAIC contract. The GEODSS contractor will be responsible for testing or providing technical evaluations of products delivered from the MOSSAIC program.

Accordingly:

1) Restrictions are needed to ensure that the Contractor is not testing or providing technical evaluations on its own products delivered to the GEODSS program.

2) As a part of the proposal, the offeror shall provide the Contracting Officer with complete information of previous or ongoing work that is in any way associated with the contemplated acquisition. Prime or subcontract work related to the MOSSAIC contract may disqualify an offeror from proposing on

GEODSS.

3) If award is made to the offeror, the resulting contract may include an organizational conflict of interest limitation applicable to subsequent Government work, at either a prime contract level, at any subcontract tier, or both. During evaluation of proposals, the Government may, after discussions with the offeror and consideration of ways to avoid the conflict of interest, insert a special provision in the resulting contract which shall disqualify the offeror from further consideration for award of future contracts.

4) The organizational conflict of interest clause included in this solicitation may be modified or deleted during negotiations.

5) In order to determine whether or not an OCI actually exists, offerors with potential for OCI shall provide enough concrete detail so the Government can evaluate the actual nature of the work being performed, in order to determine whether or not the contractor's perceived impaired objectivity is actually mitigated to an acceptable level. Plans shall address all potential types of OCI, including for the contractor's divisions, affiliates and subcontractors/ teammates.

6) If the offeror does not have any OCI related to GEODSS, submit a letter stating so.

7) The offeror OCI mitigation plan shall contain all information required by AFFARS clause 5352.209-9001 "Potential for Organizational Conflict of Interest (Oct 2010)".

n. Include all other fill-in provisions that require the Offeror's input.

o. The Draft DD Form 254, DoD Contract Security Classification Specification (Attachment 5), covers all security requirements. Please also refer to the PWS for the specific security requirements. Offerors shall submit a completed Draft DD Form 254 with their proposal. Blocks 6a, 6b and 6c should contain the prime's information. If continuation sheets are required for completion of all areas, please indicate on the Draft DD Form 254 in the appropriate block.

p. Subcontracting Plan. Provide a Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR and DFARS Part 19.

The Subcontracting Plan is a separate document from the Small Business Participation Commitment Document, but both should be consistent with the proposal of small business utilization. The Subcontracting Plan will be incorporated in the contract upon award.

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

A. AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS.

As set forth in FAR 52.215-1(f)(4) of Section L, the Government intends to award without discussions.

The Government may make a final determination as to whether the offeror's proposal meets or exceeds requirements solely on the basis of the initial proposal as submitted. Accordingly, offerors are advised to submit initial proposals that fully and clearly meet or exceed requirements without additional information or explanation and contain the offeror's best terms from a technical and price stand point. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

B. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD.

1. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code. This acquisition will be conducted using full-and-open competition. The NAICS code is 517919 All Other Telecommunications, with a small business size standard of $32.5 million.

2. Competitive Best Value. This is a competitive best value source selection using DoD Source Selection Procedures, trading price for technical superiority. To be eligible for award, the offeror must be deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104; meet all requirements of the solicitation;

conform to all required terms and conditions; and include all required certifications. The Government will evaluate competing offerors' technical proposals as significantly more important than price considerations. The Government seeks to award to the responsive, responsible offeror whose proposal is considered to provide the best value to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of price and technical approach. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Air Force the best value in meeting or exceeding contract requirements. This may result in an award being made to a higher priced offeror where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the SSA reasonably determines that the technical superiority of the higher priced offeror outweighs the price difference. In such cases the SSA shall make an integrated assessment best value award decision. While the Government source selection evaluation team and the SSA will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process by its nature is subjective.

3. Responsibility Determination. To be eligible for award, the offeror must be deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104. Responsibility will be determined in accordance with FAR 9.105.

4. Prices. Offerors must include unit prices for each CLIN listed in Section B of the solicitation for the basic period and all option periods. Failure to do so may be cause for rejection of the entire offer.

5. Award. Only one award will be made as a result of this solicitation.

C. EVALUATION FACTORS. The evaluation process shall proceed as follows:

1. Description. Proposals will be evaluated on three factors: Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical, Factor 2 - Small Business Commitment, and Factor 3 - Price. Factor 1 consists of four (4) Subfactors, which are of equal importance. Each Subfactor will be assigned a combined/technical risk rating as described in Addendum A, which reflect the extent to which the proposal meets the Government's specified performance and capability requirements, considering risk in conjunction with any relative strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies (defined in Addendum A below) associated with the proposed approach. Factor 2 will be evaluated on an "acceptable/ unacceptable" basis. Factor 3 will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance.

2. Factor 1 - GEODSS System Technical. SEE TABLES IN SECTION L, ADDENDUM A: Technical/ Risk Ratings for Factor 1, Subfactors 1 - 4 and Definitions

a. Subfactors.

1) GEODSS Optical SENSOR Operations and Support (Subfactor 1). The Government will evaluate the Offeror's GEODSS Optical SENSOR Operations and Support approach and understanding of the requirements as identified in the PWS to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach to meet or exceed all Optical SENSOR Operations and Support requirements. The Government will evaluate the proposed monthly Operations crew schedule to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach to meet or exceed the Government's Optical SENSOR Operations and Support requirements without gaps in shift coverage or in fully qualified Operations personnel.

2) GEODSS Mission System Maintenance Management (Subfactor 2). The Government will evaluate the Offeror's GEODSS Mission System Maintenance Management approach and understanding of the requirements as identified in the PWS to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach to meet or exceed all GEODSS Mission System Maintenance Management requirements. The Government will evaluate the proposed approach to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach to accomplish preventive maintenance, in-house repairs, planned work and IMDS documentation requirements, including a sample monthly maintenance crew schedule for the maintenance and repair of the GEODSS mission system. The Government will evaluate the proposed approach and monthly maintenance crew schedule to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach to meet or exceed maintenance requirements without gaps in shift coverage or in fully qualified Maintenance personnel.

3) GEODSS Staffing (Subfactor 3). The Government will evaluate the proposed staffing approach to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach to meet or exceed ALL Mission and Site Requirements as identified in the PWS. The Government will evaluate the proposed GEODSS Staffing approach, including management, quality and administrative personnel to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates a sound allocation of resources to minimize impacts of personnel turnover, issues with shift coverage, gaps in qualified personnel and requirements coverage.

4) GEODSS Retention (Subfactor 4). The Government will evaluate the Offeror's proposed GEODSS Retention approach to determine how well the Offeror's proposal demonstrates an approach for each of the three GEODSS Detachments to recruit, train, incentivize and retain qualified personnel considering the unique challenges at each location.

3. FACTOR 2 - Small Business Commitment (Acceptable/Unacceptable). This factor will be assigned a rating of "acceptable" or "unacceptable" in accordance with Table 2. The proposal will be rated "acceptable" when:

a. The minimum quantitative requirement (MQR) of 15% percent of total contract cost is met and

b. Each small business concern utilized as a teaming partner or subcontractor is specifically identified and formally committed to by name, via a signed teaming agreement with that small business concern.

Table 2: Ratings for Factors 2

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

c. If your company is registered as a small business under NAICS 517919 in the System for Award Management (SAM), a Small Business Participation Commitment Document is not required and will be given a rating of "Acceptable".

4. FACTOR 3 - Price. An offeror's Total Evaluated Price (TEP) will be determined as follows: by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B of the solicitation by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The offeror's proposal shall represent the offeror's best efforts to respond to the solicitation. All proposals will be evaluated for price reasonableness and balance. Phase-in CLINs will not count towards the TEP, but will be evaluated separately for price reasonableness and balance. Termination costs will not be included in the TEP. All proposed prices must be determined reasonable in order to be eligible for award. Price is not assigned a rating;

however, an assessment of reasonableness and balance will be performed.

a. Price Reasonableness. The techniques and procedures described under FAR 15.404-1(b) will be used to assess price reasonableness.

b. Balanced Pricing. The techniques and procedures described under FAR 15.404-1(g) will be the primary means of assessing unbalanced pricing.

c. Government Furnished Property (GFP). The Government will minimize any potential competitive advantage resulting from an offeror's proposed use of another contract's GFP by adjusting the offeror's TEP by applying, for evaluation purposes only, a rental equivalent evaluation factor as specified in FAR 52.245-9. The TEP will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in Section B by the proposed unit price for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), including all options and adjustments reflecting proposed use of GFP in accordance with Section L, paragraph. D.3.a.6).

The TEP will not include phase-in costs.

5. Contract Documents (Volume 4). All contract documents requested in Section L will be evaluated for completeness to ensure they meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as Factors or Subfactors Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Offeror being ineligible for award.
