A3.3.1 In the event discussions are conducted, page limits may be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). Should ENs be issued, the specified page limits for EN responses will be identified by the Government when forwarding an EN to an offeror.

A4.0 Volume 1, Past Performance

A4.1 For this solicitation, Past Performance means both Past Performance and Present Performance.

A4.2 The offeror shall submit a Past Performance volume containing past performance information in accordance with the format described in this section. The Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and, if necessary, data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

A4.3 Past Performance Information for Relevant Contracts. Submit information using Attachment 13, Experience and Past Performance Reference Form, on no more than five (5) active or completed contracts, with at least six months of performance history for each contract, and for performance not more than 60 months before the due date for proposal submission.

Submit a separate Experience and Past Performance Reference Form for each contract reference.

A4.3.1 At least one of the references must include at least six (6) months of the offeror's prime contract experience. Include rationale supporting the offeror's assertion of relevance.

A4.3.2 The offeror is responsible for ensuring that all Experience and Past Performance Reference Forms submitted have current contact information for Government contracts, for commercial contacts, and for subcontracts. If the Government is unable to contact the Government or commercial or subcontractor contact(s) listed on an Experience and Past Performance Reference Form after reasonable attempts are made, then the Government may choose to exclude the reference from the evaluation of the offeror's Experience and Past Performance.

A4.3.3 Content of Experience and Past Performance Reference Forms. The offeror is required to explain what aspects of each contract reference are deemed relevant to the PHSFS BOS effort, and to what aspects of the PHSFS BOS effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts, as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex project, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate.

A4.4 Client Authorization Letter.

A4.4.1 For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall submit a Client Authorization Letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance (See Attachment 14).

A4.4.2 For each identified effort as a subcontractor, the offeror shall submit a Client Authorization Letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance (See Attachment 14).

A4.5 If applicable, the offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each Joint Venture partner, and/or Mentor Protégé partner, and/or Teaming partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information (See Attachment 15).

A4.6 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). For each contract reference which the offeror submits using Attachment 13, the offeror shall prepare one Past Performance Questionnaire (See Attachment 16) by completing the information in Section A, Contract Identification, and then send the file to the Government, commercial customer, or prime contractor to complete Section B, Customer Identification and Evaluation. After the Government, commercial customer, or prime contractor has completed the PPQ, the Customer should send the completed PPQ directly to the Government, and must not send the completed PPQ to the evaluated contractor.

A4.6.1 The offeror is responsible for ensuring that all PPQs are completed and submitted by the Government, commercial customer, or prime contractor and delivered to the Government by the date and time that proposals are due.

A4.6.1.1 If a Government client or Government customer refuses to submit a PPQ for a contract reference because a CPARS report has been completed, this refusal may be stated in the offeror's proposal, along with complete identification of the Government client's or Government customer's Name, Phone Number, e-mail address, organization, and address.

A4.6.1.2 A previously completed PPW from a client or customer may not be submitted by the offeror in the situation where a client or customer has previously completed a PPQ and will not complete another PPQ. Any PPQ for this acquisition must be submitted directly by the customer or client to the Government as stated in the Instructions to Offerors. If a Government client or customer refuses to submit a PPQ for this acquisition, this refusal may be stated in the offeror's proposal, along with complete identification of the Government client's or customer's Name, Phone Number, e-mail address, organization, and address.

For Contract Security Guard (CSG) 24/7 posting requirements, the offeror shall base its proposed staffing, its proposed prices, and its Shift Schedule for 24/7 requirements, upon the use of a minimum staffing conversion factor of 6.0 for its 24/7 CSG posting requirements. For each 24/7 CSG position, the offeror shall base its proposed prices upon six separate employees, each of which shall not be allocated to other 24/7 CSG positions.

A6.3.2.1 Use of overtime: The offeror shall limit the proposed hours worked for each CSG employee to 40 hours of CSG functions per week for FPCON Normal, FPCON Alpha, and

FPCON Bravo station operations, using shifts that do not exceed 8 hours per 24 hour period.

A6.3.2.2 Example. The following example illustrates the use of a minimum staffing conversion factor of 6.0 for a single 24/7 CSG position.

Entry Controller. Position: Entry Controller 1. Staffing Requirement: 24/7

Average Hours to Staff per Year (excluding shift overlap):

(365.25 days / year) * (24 hours / day) = 8,766 hours / year

Using conversion factor of (1 Employee Productive Year) = (1,850 hours), one result would be 4 employees at 1,850 hours each, and 2 less than full time employees at 683 hours each.

Note: The use of 1,850 hours is only for use in this sample calculation. The offeror shall use its own Employee Productive Year conversion factor.

(4 employees) * (1,850 hours / employee) = 7,400 hours (2 employees) * (683 hours / employee) = 1,366 hours 8,766 hours

A6.4 Shift Schedule for 24/7 Requirements (Attachment 12). The offeror shall provide its approach to staffing 24/7 Requirements for Contract Security Guards using Attachment 12.

A6.5 Offeror Approach to Recruiting, Hiring, Retaining, and Replacing Qualified Staff. The offeror shall provide its approach for recruiting and hiring the necessary qualified and experienced staff to perform all contract performance requirements, except for requirements identified in Attachment 5, FFP NTE Task Pricing for which the offeror plans to use existing local businesses to provide services as required, and except for Bioenvironmental requirements, such as the periodic potable water testing requirements, if the offeror plans to use an existing business for the collection and testing of water samples to meet Performance Work Statement requirements.

A6.6 Ability to Obtain Facility Security Clearance(s) by Award. The offeror shall submit information to indicate its ability to obtain a Facility Security Clearance by contract award, and shall also submit information to indicate the ability of any subcontractor, required to perform contract requirements which require a personal security clearance, to obtain a Facility Security Clearance by contract award.

A6.7 Approach for Performance of Contract Security Guard Requirements under Federal Exclusive Jurisdiction. US Space Force expects the future Prospect Harbor SFS to still be under Federal Exclusive Jurisdiction (that is, the future Prospect Harbor SFS is not expected to have changed to Concurrent Jurisdiction with the State of Maine) as of the date Prospect Harbor SFS becomes the responsibility of US Space Force, and contract full performance begins, on 1 Oct 2024. Therefore, the offeror shall submit its approach to performing Contract Security Guard requirements under Federal Exclusive Jurisdiction.
