CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

52.209-1 QUALIFICATION REQUIREMENTS (FEB 1995)

(a) Definition: "Qualification requirement," as used in this clause, means a Government requirement for testing or other quality assurance demonstration that must be completed before award.

(b) One or more qualification requirements apply to the supplies or services covered by this contract. For those supplies or services requiring qualification, whether the covered product or service is an end item under this contract or simply a component of an end item, the product, manufacturer, or source must have demonstrated that it meets the standards prescribed for qualification before award of this contract. The product, manufacturer, or source must be qualified at the time of award whether or not the name of the product, manufacturer, or source is actually included on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list. Offerors should contact the agency activity designated below to obtain all requirements that they or their products or services, or their subcontractors or their products or services, must satisfy to become qualified and to arrange for an opportunity to demonstrate their abilities to meet the standards specified for qualification.

(Name) A1C Robert Tisdale (Address) Sheppard AFB

(c) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product or service covered by a qualification requirement has already met the standards specified, the relevant information noted below should be provided.

Offeror's Name Manufacturer's Name Source's Name Item Name Service Identification Test Number (to the extent known)

(d) Even though a product or service subject to a qualification requirement is not in itself an end item under this contract, the product, manufacturer, or source must nevertheless be qualified at the time of award of this contract.

This is necessary whether the Contractor or a subcontractor will ultimately provide the product or service in question. If, after award, the Contracting Officer discovers that an applicable qualification requirement was not in fact met at the time of award, the Contracting Officer may either terminate the contract for default or allow performance to continue if adequate consideration is offered and the action is determined to be otherwise in the Government's best interests.

(e) If an offeror, manufacturer, source, product, or service has met the qualification requirement but is not yet on a qualified products list, qualified manufacturers list, or qualified bidders list, the offeror must submit evidence of qualification prior to award of this contract. Unless determined to be in the Government's interests, award of this contract shall not be delayed to permit an offeror to submit evidence of qualification.

(f) Any change in location or ownership of the plant where a previously qualified product or service was manufactured or performed requires reevaluation of the qualification. Similarly, any change in location or ownership of a previously qualified manufacturer or source requires reevaluation of the qualification. The reevaluation must be accomplished before the date of award.

(End of clause)

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 no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

C. PRE-PROPOSAL CONFERENCE: A pre-proposal conference and site visit will be held 9 Sept. 2010 (agenda is posted to FedBizOps site for this solicitation).

The submission of written questions will not preclude anyone from posing questions during the pre-proposal conference. Failure of a prospective offeror to submit any written questions or to attend the conference will be construed to mean that the offeror fully understands all requirements of the solicitation. Prospective offerors are advised that the pre-proposal conference will be held solely for the purpose of explaining the concepts involved in the project and the specifications, terms and conditions of the solicitation. Answers to questions raised during the pre-proposal conference will be provided to prospective offerors via an amendment to the solicitation. All prospective offerors are advised that this solicitation will remain unchanged unless it is specifically amended in writing. If an amendment is issued, normal procedures relating to the acknowledgement and receipt of any such amendment as described in contract clause FAR 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors, Competitive Acquisition, of this RFP shall apply.

D. Those planning to attend the pre-proposal conference shall forward the names of attendees and their company names to A1C Robert Tisdale at email address robert.tisdale@sheppard.af.mil or fax at 940-676-1669, no later than 1 workday prior to the conference.

The agreement shall include information that identifies the responsibilities for each entity under the subsequent contract. The agreement shall demonstrate the relationship between the firms; and, identify contractual relationships and authorities to bind each entity of the joint venture. If the joint venture is comprised of 8(a) firms, the Small Business Administration (SBA) must approve the joint venture agreement prior to award.

F. TEAMING/PARTNERING OFFERORS: If the offer is based on a teaming/partnering relationship, the offeror shall provide all required solicitation information for all parties including a copy of the teaming/partnership agreement. The agreement shall include information that identifies the responsibilities for each entity under this contract. The agreement shall demonstrate the relationship between firms and identify contractual relationship and authorities to bind each entity of the teaming/partnering relationship.

G. INCURRED EXPENSES: The Government is not responsible for any costs incurred or associated with preparation and submission of a proposal in response to this solicitation. The offeror is required to submit an offer on all items. Failure to do so may disqualify the proposal.

H. In compliance with FAR Subpart 4.8, the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals and will destroy all extra copies. No destruction certificate will be provided.

I. SUBMISSION OF COMPLETE PROPOSALS: All proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. Failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and elimination from award consideration. Any commitments made in the proposal shall become a part of the resultant contract.

J. MODIFICATIONS PRIOR TO RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS: The Government reserves the right to revise or amend the specifications or drawings, or both, prior to the date of receipt of proposals. If, in the opinion of the Contracting Officer, revisions or amendments require material changes in the quantity or price of items, the date of receipt of proposals will be announced by an amendment to the Request for Proposal.

K. TELEGRAPHIC/TELEFAX OFFERS/AMENDMENTS: Telegraphic and telefax offers/amendments will not be accepted.

L. SPECIFIC PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers may be submitted on the SF 1449, letterhead stationery, or as otherwise specified in the solicitation. As a minimum, offers must show--

(1) The solicitation number;

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

(3) The name, address, and telephone number of the offeror;

(4) A completed copy of the representations and certifications at FAR 52.212-3 (see FAR 52.212-3(b) for those representations and certifications that the offeror shall complete electronically);

(5) 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 120 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) 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.

(e) Contract award. 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.

(f) Multiple awards. The Government will award the MĀ-SASC to a minimum of three contractors and reserves the right to award up to six MĀ-SASC contracts. The MĀ-SASC is a multiple award contract.

EVALUATION FACTORS

(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) Past Performance

(2) Price

Past performance is significantly more important than Price when being evaluated. However, price will contribute substantially to the selection decision.

(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.

M-1. BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD:

This is a competitive best value source selection in which the technical capabilities of the offeror’s proposals will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis. Proposals determined to be technically acceptable will be evaluated for past performance and cost or price where competing offerors' past performance history will be evaluated on a basis significantly more important than cost or price considerations. 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 past performance records and price. 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.

PART I – FACTOR A – 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.” The technical proposal shall be evaluated against the following subfactors.

Sub Factor 2 - Quality Control Plan (QCP) – This sub factor is met when the offeror submits an effective and complete quality control plan and addresses the following:

(1) Identify qualifications of the primary Quality Control Inspector(s) (QCI)

(2) Identify the role and authority of the QCI and the role and authority of the site superintendent in insuring the application of Quality Control to all projects

(3) Describe process for identifying and preventing defects before the performance becomes unacceptable

(4) Describe process for ensuring only high quality materials and workmanship are employed

(5) Describe procedures/processes used to identify unfavorable performance trends, poor performing subcontractors and/or in-house workforce and how corrective action is integrated into that process

(6) Describe the surveillance process and frequency; and how the Government will interface with this process

The standard is met when the offeror: Provides a clear and concise Quality Control Plan which identifies its key Quality Control Inspectors (QCI) and their respective qualifications. Describes the QCI surveillance process and frequency. Additionally, the plan should explain how the offeror will identify defects, unfavorable performance trends, poor performing subcontractors, before performance becomes unacceptable and corrective action (to include documentation and resolution of deficiencies).

Sub Factor 3 - Design Capability:

(1) The offeror’s provide qualification and work experience information on key design personnel.

Include professional registrations, education, training, relevant experience, and office location.

Provides a list of at least four (3), but no more than six (10), projects designed by the offeror or its design team from the last three (3) years. Failure to meet these minimum standards will result in the proposal being found to be unacceptable.

PART II – FACTOR B – PRICE PROPOSAL -

(a) The proposal price for the project, MĀ-SASC “Multiple Award – Security Alarm Surveillance

Contract” will be evaluated using the pricing techniques listed at FAR 15.404-1 (b)(2)(i), (b)(2)(v), and (b)(2)(vi), if applicable. Offerors’ proposed prices should be based on a standard performance period of 45 calendar days, for each task order project after receipt of notice to proceed. The government will evaluate offerors’ pricing information on all 6 seed projects described in this RFP

(i) Price will be evaluated for reasonableness subject to the procedures outlines above.

Reasonableness will be determined based on prices submitted by the competition, current market conditions, and comparison to the Government estimate. Prices will also be evaluated to determine if they are either excessive or insufficient for the effort to be accomplished. If task order prices are determined to be 20% under the independent government estimate or the next low offer, the proposal may be eliminated for award.

(ii) The proposed price will be evaluated for reasonableness. A price that is too low or too high may endanger the proposal's opportunity for award of a contract.

(iii) Proposed MĀ-SASC prices will be evaluated individually by task order. The evaluation will consider CLIN pricing and the bill of material price break out for each task order (up to 5-pages per task order). This bill of material listing will be evaluated to ensure compliance with, and understanding of the Sheppard AFB security alarm and surveillance standards described in the MĀ-SASC PWS.

(iv) In addition to evaluating prices at the task order level, each offeror’s prices for all seed projects will be totaled in order to establish a “total evaluated price” (TEP) For the MĀ-SASC. This TEP will be used only for evaluation purposed as described in the Award Evaluation criteria described in para.

M-2.

PART III – FACTOR C - PAST PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT - Past Performance Information:

(a) Performance Surveys: The government will evaluate the quality and extent of offeror's past performance deemed relevant to the requirements of this RFP. Relevant contracts include relevant security alarm and surveillance contracts on Federal Government installations, municipal/state projects, and other commercial contracts of comparable size and dollar amount; which, include multi-discipline security alarm and surveillance work and design. The government will use information submitted by the offeror and other sources, such as Federal Government contractor performance reporting databases, and commercial sources to assess offeror past performance. To assist in the past performance survey, each offeror is required to provide a list of at least three (3), but no more than ten (10), of the most relevant security alarm and surveillance contracts performed for Federal and commercial organizations within the last three (3) years. The evaluation of past performance information will take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, when such information is relevant to this acquisition. Furnish the following information for each contract listed:

Offerors should forward past performance questionnaires provided with this RFP to each of its cognizant customer points of contact for the projects the offeror plans to include in its past performance proposal. The government will use the completed past performance submittal to contact the offer’s cognizant customers for each offeror’s 3 to 10 previous projects to gather past performance information.

(b) The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The assessment process will result in an overall integrated submittal that needs to ensure this is the latest past performance evaluation criteria. performance confidence assessment of “High Confidence,” “Significant Confidence,” “Satisfactory Confidence,” “Unknown Confidence,” “Little Confidence,” or “No Confidence,” as defined in AFFARS MP5315.3, Table 1 (see below). Past performance regarding predecessor companies will be rated as highly as past performance information for the principal offeror. Offerors with no relevant past or present performance history shall receive the rating "Unknown Confidence," meaning the offeror’s past performance is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably. See Table 1 below for additional clarification.

(c) In evaluating past performance, the Government reserves the right to give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed most relevant to the effort described in this RFP.

(d) Relevancy Ratings: Relevant performance includes performance of efforts involving requirements that are similar or greater in scope and complexity than the effort described in this solicitation. Relevancy will be assigned ratings of Very Relevant, Relevant, Somewhat Relevant, and Not Relevant. The Government will give greater consideration to information on those contracts deemed very relevant to the effort described in this RFP. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor. For this acquisition, past performance will be very relevant when it demonstrates quality performance as a prime contractor delivering security alarm and surveillance system installation and maintenance services within the last three years and the effort is similar or greater in scope and complexity than the effort described in the solicitation. The following relevancy rating definitions will be used in the assessment of relevancy:

M-2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (AWARD EVALUATION):

A. If the lowest priced (total evaluated Price = Sum of all 6 seed project prices) evaluated technically acceptable offer is judged to have a “High Confidence” performance confidence assessment, that offer represents the best value for the government and the evaluation process stops at this point. Award shall be made to that offeror. This process will be repeated until 3 to 6 proposals are identified, that represent the best value for contract award. The Government reserves the right to award between 3 and 6 contracts, depending upon the past performance evaluations and prices submitted by the offerors.

B. If the lowest priced three to six offeror are not judged to have a “High Confidence” performance confidence assessment, the next lowest priced offerors will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until three to six offeror are judged to have a “High Confidence” performance assessment or until all offerors are evaluated. The Source Selection Authority shall then make an integrated best value award decision selecting between 3 and 6 proposals for contract award. The Government reserves the right to unilaterally determine how many contracts will be awarded in this range.

C. Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information, in the format specified by Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Offerors.

D. Offeror’s may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than “Satisfactory Confidence” rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system. Communication conducted to resolve minor or clerical errors will not constitute discussions and the contracting officer reserves the right to award a contract without the opportunity for proposal revision.

E. The government intends to award at least three and up to six contracts without discussion with respective offerors. The government however, reserves the right to conduct discussions if deemed in its best interest.
