SPECIAL CONTRACT REQUIREMENTS

Ordering Procedures

a. Before delivery orders are issued under this contract, a decision will be made regarding whether to compete or restrict in accordance with (IAW) FAR 16.505. When a Request for Order Proposal (RFOP) is issued by the

Government, contractors will be permitted a 10-working day response time for preparation of proposals, unless otherwise stated in the RFOP. The Government will evaluate and negotiate, as necessary, and issue the resulting order within 20-working days after the date set for receipt of proposals, unless otherwise stated in the RFOP. If negotiations/discussions are necessary, contractors may be requested/permitted to revise their proposals, as necessary. The Government reserves the right to include option CLINs at delivery order level; the options will be incorporated pursuant to FAR 52.217-7, Option for Increased Quantity -- Separately Priced Line Item.

b. When delivery orders are competed, the contractors will receive an RFOP. The award of competitive delivery orders will be made, utilizing streamlined procedures, to the contractor whose proposal is the most advantageous and represents the best value to the Government. This decision will be made based on an integrated assessment of evaluation criteria which addresses technical approach, past performance, and price. Additional evaluation factors relevant to the particular delivery order may be considered in the ultimate award decision of a delivery order under this contract. The following factors are some examples:

Technical Capability

Price

Delivery Schedule

Other factors the PCO believes relevant to the award of the delivery order

--Specific evaluation criteria will be identified in the RFOP. Any Government property required for performance must be identified in the response to the RFOP.

-- Proposals for delivery orders shall utilize the negotiated rates as established by the basic contract award.

c. When a delivery order is restricted to a single source in accordance with FAR 16.505, the designated contractor will be required to submit a proposal if required.

d. It is anticipated that some of the RFOPs and resultant delivery orders will involve handling classified equipment/information. Contractors that do not possess the required clearance and safeguarding capability at the time of the RFOP release will not be eligible to receive that RFOP. DD Forms 254, Contract Security Classification

Specifications, will be attached to the RFOP and resulting delivery order as required.

e. Unit pricing and fully burdened labor rates incorporated in the resulting contract shall be the maximum chargeable amount for each respective contract year. At any time during the delivery order competition process, offerors may elect to discount pricing for individual delivery orders at their discretion.

NOTE: All items will have to be Acceptance Tested prior to adding to the price list and ordering.

(2) The time specified in the solicitation for receipt of offers;

(10) Past performance information, when included as an evaluation factor, to include recent and relevant contracts for the same or similar items and other references (including contract numbers, points of contact with telephone numbers and other relevant information); and

(11) If the offer is not submitted on the SF 1449, include a statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation. Offers that fail to furnish required representations or information, or reject the terms and conditions of the solicitation may be excluded from consideration.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 30 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Product samples. When required by the solicitation, product samples shall be submitted at or prior to the time specified for receipt of offers. Unless otherwise specified in this solicitation, these samples shall be submitted at no expense to the Government, and returned at the sender's request and expense, unless they are destroyed during preaward testing.

(e) Multiple offers. Offerors are encouraged to submit multiple offers presenting alternative terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Each offer submitted will be evaluated separately.

(f) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers:

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 4:30 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is ―late‖ and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and--

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government's control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the

Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent

Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

Oral offers in response to oral solicitations may be withdrawn orally. If the solicitation authorizes facsimile offers, offers may be withdrawn via facsimile received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers, subject to the conditions specified in the solicitation concerning facsimile offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(g) Contract award (not applicable to Invitation for Bids). The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror's 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 later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(h) Multiple awards. The Government may accept any item or group of items of an offer, unless the offeror qualifies the offer by specific limitations. Unless otherwise provided in the Schedule, offers may not be submitted for quantities less than those specified.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Technical

(2) Price

This is a competitive source selection in which competing offeror’s Technical solution, demonstrated in a government conducted Acceptance Test Plan (ATP) will be evaluated using a lowest priced, technically acceptable evaluation method. By submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. All technically acceptable offers shall be treated equally except for their prices.

Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being determined technically unacceptable. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

(b) 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). A proposal is unbalanced when it is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and prices that are significantly overstated for other work. Unrealistically low proposed costs/prices may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

(c) 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 offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

Evaluation Factors - Specific

VOLUME I – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Each offeror will be assigned a rating of pass/fail for each of the subfactors listed below. A proposal must be rated acceptable (passed) in each technical proposal subfactor to receive an overall acceptable (passed) rating. All offerors must submit a completed compliance matrix for each proposed configuration which corresponds to the minimum acceptable threshold levels and identifies any objectives met IAW the TRD and correlates to the ATP.

a. Compliance Matrix

b. Acceptance Test Plan

Technically Acceptable: Offerors’ shall be evaluated independently of the cost/price proposal evaluation to determine the offeror's compliance with the technical requirements of this solicitation. All interested offerors will be required to complete the IRIG 106-04 Chapter 10 Compliancy Matrix IAW Acceptance Test Plan (ATP) found as an attachment under List of Attachments. Upon receipt of proposals, offerors will be contacted with a scheduled day and time to demonstrate their product at Building 100, Room 134, Eglin AFB, FL. Each offeror should have a technical representative present for the government test. The purpose of the demonstration is to allow the

Government to assess the offeror's product by means of the above-mentioned compliancy matrixes that will be used during the technical evaluation and will consist of a pass or fail rating. Upon completion of individual demonstrations, rating results will be disclosed to the offeror. Those offerors whose demonstration is unsuccessful will be eliminated from further competition or evaluation and notified that their proposals are unacceptable and negotiations with them are not contemplated, nor will any revisions to their proposal be considered. Any offerors excluded at any time during the evaluation process will be afforded the opportunity to request either a pre-award or post-award debriefing. Information relating to other offerors proposals will not be disclosed.

VOLUME II - PRICE

Within offeror’s Volume II – Price Proposal an executed Section SF 1449 - Continuation Sheet showing all Contract

Line Item Numbers (CLINs) and the offeror’s proposed prices except for CLINs 0003, 1003, and 2003 - Travel and

CLINs 0004, 1004, and 2004 - Miscellaneous Equipment (in which the offeror will propose and submit separate detailed Miscellaneous Equipment price lists for each of CLINs 0004, 1004, and 2004); shall be provided. CLINS

0001-0004 are for the basic effort and CLINS 1001-2004 are for the two option years. The Government reserves the right to decide at the time of an option exercise if exercising the option is in the best interest of the Government. For price evaluation purposes within this solicitation the Government will establish a ―Total Evaluated Price‖ using the calculations presented within the below table.

Ground Recorder/Reconstruction System Price - SF 1449 - CLIN 0001

Ground Recorder/Reconstruction System Price - SF 1449 - CLIN 1001

Ground Recorder/Reconstruction System Price - SF 1449 - CLIN 2001

Technical Support Year 1 Price – CLIN 0002 (Cost Format A)

Technical Support Year 2 Price – CLIN 1002 (Cost Format A)

Technical Support Year 3 Price – CLIN 2002 (Cost Format A)

All prices above will be summed to establish a Total Evaluated Price

The offeror’s proposed Fully Burdened Labor Rates (FBLRs) associated with CLINs 0002, 1002, and 2002 Cost

Format A will be incorporated in any resulting contract as the maximum chargeable FBLRs for any resultant delivery orders issued under this contract. The price list prices submitted for CLINs 0004, 1004, and 2004 will not be included in any of the ―Total Evaluated Prices‖ for award consideration, but will be evaluated by the Government by way of technical analysis (see FAR 15.404-1 (e)) for reasonableness prior to the proposed items and prices being incorporated in any resultant contract. Offerors are cautioned to ensure any proposed Miscellaneous Equipment conforms to and is limited to the descriptive language as stated within these respective CLINs in the schedule for each ordering period.

Basis For Contract Award.

(1) A contract will be awarded to the responsive offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements and is judged, based on the evaluation factors to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror whose product meets at least the minimum technical specifications and is the lowest priced.

The Government intends to make multiple awards to those offerors deemed technically acceptable with fair and reasonable prices in accordance with the total evaluated pricing methodology as stated herein. It is the

Government’s intent to maximize competition throughout the duration of the anticipated contract ordering periods.

ATP testing will need to be conducted to verify and incorporate. At no time, will the total contract ceiling exceed the stated $38M for ground recorders under the anticipated multiple awards involved in this acquisition.

(2) Procedures:

(i) The contract team will ensure all proposals and associated evaluation documentation is safeguarded throughout the evaluation process.

(ii) Upon receipt of proposals, a team of qualified government personnel will evaluate all offerors, simultaneously, using the same evaluation criteria, as established in the solicitation. The evaluation team will rate each proposal strictly in accordance with its content and will not assume that performance will include areas not specified in the offeror’s written proposal. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial offers received, without discussion of such offers.

(iii) Although the Government reserves the right to award without discussions; if it is determined that discussions are necessary, the Government will make a competitive range determination for purposes of holding discussions after the initial evaluation of proposals. Those offerors whose proposals are not within the competitive range will be notified that their proposals are unacceptable and negotiations with them are not contemplated, nor will any revisions to their proposals be considered. Any offerors excluded at any time during the evaluation process will be afforded the opportunity to request either a preaward or postaward debriefing. Information relating to other offerors' proposals will not be disclosed.
