(9) Acknowledgment of material Solicitation Amendments;

(10) Failure to take exception to any written term or condition of the solicitation will be deemed acceptance of the term or condition.

(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;

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(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers.

(g) Contract award. 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.

ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS

GENERAL

▐ 1. Closing date and time. Offers must be received electronically via email no later than 3:00 PM CST Wednesday, 7 February 2018. Offerors are strongly advised to begin emailing their proposals well in advance of the closing time to ensure that their complete proposal is timely received.

3. Method of submission. Offers shall be submitted via email to rachel.demone@us.af.mil and will not be accepted via other means. Offerors are strongly encouraged to submit their proposals well in advance of the closing time to mitigate the risk of delay due to technical difficulties. The Government reserves the right to accept proposals via other means if the Contracting Officer determines that the circumstances warrant it.

4. Proposal format. Offerors shall clearly distinguish within the electronic file(s) submitted which pages pertain to the technical proposal and which pages pertain to the price proposal. The technical proposal and price proposal shall not cross-reference each other and shall be stand-alone documents regardless whether they are part of the same or separate electronic file(s).

5. Page limit and page format. Technical Proposals are strictly limited to 25 pages (25 sides), 8.5 x 11 inches each, single spaced not smaller than Times New Roman size 10 font with margins of at least one (1) inch on all sides.

6. Signed 1449. Proposals shall include a signed copy of the solicitation and any material amendments thereto.

7. Specific and complete. Offerors are advised not to merely reiterate or reproduce the content of the PWS and that doing so may result in a technically unacceptable rating. By submitting a proposal, the offeror represents that it will perform all requirements of the solicitation, unless qualified otherwise. The purpose of the proposal is to clearly demonstrate and explain to the Government how the offeror proposes to perform the requirements, not to restate its intent to do so.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

1. Hiring and Staffing Plan. The hiring and staffing plan shall clearly indicate the number and qualifications of personnel proposed to staff the contract. These personnel shall possess a current in-person Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, hold a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) equivalency, have at least 1 year of experience in a position with comparable duties and qualifications to the one which they are filling, and, if applicable to their position, meet the additional requirements for that position detailed in the PWS (refer to PWS Appendices A-1 through A-8, Section 2).

The plan shall indicate any personnel identified to fill the required positions at the time of proposal and shall discuss the offeror’s approach to fill any remaining positions prior to and throughout contract performance. It shall include a clear, thorough strategy that explains how human resources will be identified, recruited, and hired. It shall also include a timeline with supporting rationale that demonstrates seamless continuity of services without interruption or degradation of services.

2. Screening Plan. The screening plan shall clearly describe how the offeror will validate the education, training, and experience submitted to fill open positions upon award and throughout contract performance.

It shall identify the offeror’s process, roles and responsibilities for validating appropriate levels of education, training, and experience to meet the requirements of the PWS, and how long each step of the process will take. The screening plan shall also include the offeror’s process for timely compiling and submitting complete security packages before the performance start date and throughout contact performance. Complete security packages will consist of a Standard Form (SF) 85, Questionnaire for Non- Sensitive Positions, an OF 306 Declaration for Federal Employment, and keeping two or more appointments, as scheduled by the Government, to complete the security package (refer to PWS Paragraph

1.3.13.5. for more information).

Offerors shall complete the Price Schedule contained in this solicitation by inserting a unit price for each Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) for each performance period, rounded to two decimal places. Offerors shall insert the Not To Exceed (NTE) price of $1,500.00 for each Travel CLIN ending in -09 (0009, 1009, 2009, 3009, 4009). The extended amount must equal the unit price multiplied by the number/quantity of units.

(End of Provision)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014) ADDENDUM

(a) Award will be made to the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer. Offers will be ranked by total evaluated price, followed by an evaluation of technical acceptability, then price reasonableness of the low priced technically acceptable offer.

Offerors are advised that their initial proposal should contain their best terms from price and technical standpoints.

The failure of a proposal to meet any technical requirement of the solicitation will result in a technically unacceptable rating as follows:

The Government reserves the right to conduct interchanges with some, all or none of the offerors submitting a proposal based on an initial evaluation of price and non-price factors. Interchanges may be of a price and/or technical nature, and offeror(s) may be given an opportunity to submit a proposal revision as a result of interchanges. Only proposals rated technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of interchanges, will be eligible for award. Offerors are advised that FAR Part 15 procedures will not be used to evaluate offers. FAR Subpart 13.5 procedures will be used.

Proposals will be evaluated as follows:

Technical:

1. Hiring and Staffing Plan. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s plan for staffing the contract with properly skilled, trained and certified personnel, defined as personnel who possess a current in-person Basic Life Support (BLS) certification, hold a high school diploma or General Educational Development (GED) equivalency, have at least 1 year of experience in a position with comparable duties and qualifications to the one which they are filling, and, if applicable to their position, meet the additional requirements for that position detailed in the PWS (refer to PWS Appendices A-1 through A-8, Section 2). The Government will evaluate the offeror’s ability to timely hire sufficient personnel to perform the PWS, and to deliver seamless continuity of services without interruption or degradation of services.

The standard for technical acceptability is met when: The hiring and staffing plan demonstrates a clear, comprehensive, realistic, and efficient approach to ensure that sufficient qualified personnel are available to meet the PWS requirements.

2. Screening Plan. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s plan for timely validating the education, training, and experience submitted to fill open positions upon award and throughout contract performance. This includes evaluation of the process proposed to screen candidates from the point of open position identification to position fulfillment. This also includes the offeror’s process for timely compiling and submitting complete security packages before the performance start date and throughout contract performance.

The standard for technical acceptability is met when: The screening plan demonstrates a clear, comprehensive, realistic, and efficient approach to ensure that all personnel meet the education, training, experience and security requirements of the PWS.

▐ Price:

The Government will rank all offers by total evaluated price. The total evaluated price will be determined by multiplying all unit prices by the quantities in the Schedule and adding all extended prices, including options.

Options include the Government's Option to Extend Services. One-half (six months) of the offeror's proposed price for the final option period will be added to the offeror's total price to determine the total evaluated price. The Not To Exceed (NTE) price of $1,500.00 will be utilized to evaluate each Travel Contract Line Item Number (CLIN). The Government will utilize any or several of the price analysis techniques available at FAR 13.106-3(a) to determine the lowest priced, technically acceptable offer fair and reasonable.

(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).

(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.
