1.0 General Instructions. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals, as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Throughout this solicitation, the term “Offeror” includes subcontractors, teammates and/or joint venture partners. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested, and must be submitted in accordance with (IAW) these instructions. The Offeror shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the solicitation. A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support technical capability and price in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation.

Compliance with the instructions and solicitation is mandatory. Failure to comply may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and render the proposal ineligible for award.

1.1 Site Visit. A site visit will be scheduled for Monday, 15 June 2015 at 9:30 AM CST at JBSA Randolph, TX. Interested parties should send a request to Andrew S. Sorensen at andrew.sorensen.1@us.af.mil NOT LATER THAN Monday, 08 June 2015 at 12:00 noon CST.

Additional information will be forwarded with the complete location details to those interested in attending the site visit.

The request should include the following information:

1) Name(s) of the individuals who will be in attendance

2) State or Federal issued Identification such as Driver’s License, State Identification, or U.S.

Passport

This information will be used to obtain base access passes and safeguarded IAW procedures outlined in the Privacy Act of 1974 and DoD 5400.11R.

mailto:andrew.sorensen.1@us.af.mil

2.0 Information Regarding Submission Requirements. Documents submitted in response to this solicitation must comply with requirements of the solicitation and Statement of Work (SOW).

To be considered, the complete proposal must be received not later than the date and time established in Block 8 of the SF 1449, at:

502 CONS/JBKADC

Attn: Andrew S. Sorensen 1655 Selfridge Avenue, Building 5450 JBSA Lackland, TX 78236

All proposals delivered in response to this solicitation shall reflect the following information on the address label:

(1) Solicitation Number FA3047-15-R-0034

(2) The legend "To be delivered unopened to the Contracting Officer/ Specialist"

(3) The volume and copy numbers contained in each box

Offerors are cautioned that JBSA Lackland has visitor control procedures requiring individuals not affiliated with the installation to obtain a visitor pass prior to entrance. SOME DELAY SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED WHEN HAND-CARRYING PROPOSALS. Offerors should allow sufficient time to obtain a visitor pass and arrive at the location PRIOR to the time specified for receipt. Offerors should be aware of the potential that the Government experiences delays in the postal service to JBSA Lackland and take all necessary precautions. Late proposals will be processed in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f) “Late submission, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.”

All proposals must be in English. Fax or email proposals will not be considered. All questions must be submitted in writing no later than thursday June 18, 2015 by Noon CST. Questions submitted after this date will not be considered. Any proposal, modification, or revision, that is received at the designated Government office after the exact time specified for receipt of proposals is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the contracting officer determines that accepting the late proposal would not unduly delay the acquisition; and (i) there is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of proposals and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of proposals; or (ii) It was the only proposal received.

3.0 Proposal Preparation and Format Instructions. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals in regards to the format and content of the proposal. Each volume shall be complete in itself. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein; all the requirements specified in this solicitation are mandatory. Offerors are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation by submitting your proposal. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, and representations and certifications, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub factors.

Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

3.1 Page Limitations. Page limitations shall be treated as maximums. Total page count will be based on the printed proposal submission. If page limitations are exceeded, excess pages will not be read nor considered in the evaluation of the proposal. A page is defined as each face of an 8.5 x 11-inch sheet of paper containing information. All information except for document numbers, page number, etc., shall be provided in an image area with no less than one inch in margin. Two pages may be printed back-to-back on one sheet of paper. However, this will be considered two (2) pages for the purpose of page count. The background color of each page of the proposal submission shall be white or ivory stock only. The maximum number of pages for each volume is listed below. Price information shall be limited to Volume I. Excess pages will not be evaluated, but will be retained in the file. See table below for specific number of copies required and pages for each of the Volumes.

TITLE NUMBER OF COPIES

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF

PAGES

Volume I. Contracting & Pricing Original and 3 copies No page limitation.

Volume II. Technical Original and 3 copies Limit to no more than twentyfive

(25) pages total.

3.2 Pages Counted. Each page shall be counted except for the following:

(a) Cover pages

(b) Table of Contents

(c) List of Figures

(d) Glossaries

(e) Tabs

(f) Dividers

(g) Blank pages

3.3 Text. Text type should be Times New Roman or Arial, no smaller than 12-point with normal proportional spacing. Illustrations and tables shall be no smaller than Times New Romans or Arial 10 point. Text lines will be, at a minimum, single-spaced.

3.4 Tables, Charts, Graphs, and Figures. Legible tables, charts, graphs and figures shall be used wherever practical to depict organizations, systems and layout, implementation schedules, plans, etc.

These displays shall be uncomplicated, legible, and shall not exceed 11 x 17 inches in size. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the volume, and count as a single page. Foldout pages may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics not for pages of text. For graphics, exhibits and figures, text shall be no smaller than Times New Roman or Arial 10-point font. Text within tables shall be no smaller than Times New Roman or Arial 10-point font. These limitations shall apply to both electronic and hard copy proposals.

3.5 Binding and Labeling. Each volume (Contracting & Pricing, Technical) of the proposal will be bound separately, with each volume in a standard loose-leaf three-ring binder. Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated on a stand-alone basis. Cross Referencing between volumes is not permitted. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted. Elaborate format and binding are neither necessary nor desirable. The cover and spine of each binder will clearly identify the Offeror's name, volume number, Request for Proposal (RFP) number "FA3047-15-R-0034", RFP title "Noise Suppressor System", and copy number, e.g., copy 2 of 2. The original for each volume will be clearly identified on the cover and the spine. All binders will allow for easy removal and replacement of pages. Replacement pages in response to evaluation notices (if any), shall be colored stock with lines in the margin designating the change and the change highlighted.

3.6 Proposal Clarity. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the Offeror’s capabilities and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The Offeror’s proposal shall not simply rephrase, reiterate, or restate the Government’s own language, but rather shall provide convincing rationale describing how it intends to fulfill the requirement. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. Provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing and satisfying the requirements. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities, facilities and experience, and will base the evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal.

3.7 Specific Proposal Instructions. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of the proposal, the Offeror must follow the instructions contained herein. The proposal must be complete, stand-alone, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation. The response shall consist of two (2) separate parts:

Volume I – Contracting & Pricing Volume II – Technical

3.8 Volume I – Contracting & Pricing. The Offeror's proposal shall include a signed copy of the solicitation, and signed copy of any issued amendments. Complete all solicitation provisions and/or contract clause fill-ins if applicable. The "original" shall be clearly marked under separate cover.

4.1.1 Instructions. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in 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.

However, if at any time during this competition the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists offerors may be required to submit other than certified cost or pricing data to the extent necessary for the CO to determine the reasonableness of the price.

4.1.2 Schedule of Supplies/Services. The Offeror shall complete the Schedule of Supplies/Services of the RFP. A unit price shall be proposed and inserted for each Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) and shall be rounded up to two decimal places. The extended amount must equal the unit price multiplied by the number/quantity of units. The proposed prices shall be based on the Offeror’s own approach and the Government’s Statement of Work (SOW) requirements as set forth herein. Offerors who change the quantities stated in the solicitation will render the proposal ineligible for award.

The Offeror shall submit only pricing information that will be evaluated for award or become part of the resulting contract. Supply costs and associated General and Administrative (G&A) cost plus profit or fee, should be included in the unit price for each contract line item. Each Offeror shall submit a contracting & pricing volume IAW the format below.

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 Evaluation – Commercial Items Addendum to 52.212-2(a): Paragraph (a) is tailored as follows:

This is a Request For Proposal (RFP) for the acquistion, delivery and turn-key (all software/hardware items required for full functional) installation of all equipment components to an Noise Suppressor System (NSS) meeting or exceeding the functionalities of NSS AF-32A-18. The 502 CONS/JBKADC intents to award a single Firm-Fixed Price contract.

(a) Basis for Contract Award. The Government intends to award one contract for this competitive Total Small Business Set-Aside service acquisition. Award will be made to the technically acceptable Offeror with lowest evaluated price who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104 and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements. The solicitation requirements include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by this solicitation.

Unless specifically identified in your proposal, 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 sub factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in a proposal being determined ineligible for award.

This requirement is being solicited in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart

13.5. It is the Government’s intent to evaluate proposals and award a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)) in which the Government will utilize the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures;

FAR Part 15 evaluations will not be used for this acquisition. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a price, and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines them to be necessary.

1.0 Evaluation Process. Offers will be ranked from lowest to highest based on initial assessment of Total Evaluated Price (TEP), followed by a full evaluation of technical acceptability of at minimum the lowest three TEP proposals. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer initial proposals all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. A price analysis will be conducted on the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal to determine price reasonableness. Award will be made to the lowest TEP proposal meeting the technical acceptability standards (contingent contractor’s responsibility determination). If award is to be made without discussion the evaluation factors and process to be used is listed below.

1.1 Evaluation Factors. In evaluating proposals, the Government will select the proposal that is most advantageous to the Government. To arrive at a decision, each offer will be assessed in accordance with the following evaluation factors for the contract:

Factor 1: Price Factor 2: Technical

1.1.1 Price Evaluation. An offeror’ s proposed TEP will be determined by multiplying the quantities identified in the Schedule of Supplies/Services by the proposed unit price for each CLIN. The extended amounts for each CLIN will then be totaled to obtain the estimated total for each proposal. The TEP consists of all CLINs.

1.1.2 Technical Evaluation. If the Government receives three (3) or fewer initial proposals all proposals will be evaluated for Technical Acceptability. If the Government receives three (3) or more initial proposals the Government will only select the three (3) lowest priced proposals and then evaluate them for Technical Acceptability. The Government reserves the right to evaluate additional proposals for technical acceptability if in the Government’s best interest. If additional proposals are evaluated for technical acceptability they will be selected in the order of total evaluated price.

1.1.3 Acceptability Ratings. The evaluation factors listed below will be evaluated and receive one of the following ratings:

(i) Acceptable – The proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(ii) Unacceptable – The proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

1.1.4 Evaluation of Factors. Offerors are advised that their initial submission should be their best effort. Only technically acceptable proposals, either initially or as a result of discussions, are eligible for award. If award is made without discussions, proposal revisions will not be permitted. The Government will evaluate the proposals selected above for technical acceptability on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. For the technical proposal to be rated as “Acceptable”, all technical factors and sub factors must be rated acceptable. If any technical factor or sub factor is rated “Unacceptable” the overall proposal will be rated as “Unacceptable”.

Technical Factor 1: NSS Features and Compliance with AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor specifications A) Sub-factor 1. Noise Suppressor System (NSS) Compliance with AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor Specifications.

The proposal shall provide a detailed explanation to include specifications, manuals, and drawings or sketches to demonstrate a description of the proposed NSS to meet AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor specifications. The proposal shall describe with the same detail each of following features of proposed

NSS:

1) Description of the AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor

2) Aircraft Guide Tracks.

3) Aircraft Thrust Restraining Tie-Downs Eyelets.

4) Primary Air Inlet Silencers.

5) Secondary Air Enclosure Assembly.

6) Exhaust Suppressor Assembly.

7) Control House

8) Leading Particulars, Characteristics and Dimensions of each of the following components: Primary

Air Enclosure, Secondary Air Enclosure and Silencer (to include Muff Assembly and Cover), Horizontal Suppressor Assembly, Elbow and Exhaust Stack Assembly, Control House & Environment Control System, and Primary Power Requirements.

The Standard Has Been Met when:

The proposal demonstrates in adequate detail the specifications, features, and compliance with AF32A- 18 or similar noise suppressor to include the features of the proposed NSS.

B) Sub-factor 2. AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor Updated Features.

The proposal shall provide a detailed explanation to include specifications, manuals, and drawings or sketches to demonstrate the following:

a. Any AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor updates required to be compatible with T-38 aircrafts of Type A, Type B, and Type C.

b. Any AF32A-18 or similar noise suppressor updates required to allow adequate expansion and contraction for cyclic heating.

The Standard Has Been Met when:

a. The proposal demonstrate the required features to enable compatibility of inlets/exhaust systems in

T-38 aircrafts of Type A, Type B, and Type C.

b. The proposal demonstrates the required features to allow for both Horizontal and Vertical steel and/or stainless steel members and ring assemblies.

2.0 Reaonableness. The Government will conduct a complete Price Analysis on the lowest priced technically acceptable offer using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404-1, to determine if it is reasonable as indicated by the application of price analysis techniques.

2.1 Discussions. If discussions are to be conducted, the Government will establish a competitive range based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria in the solicitation. The competitive range will consist of the most highly rated offerors based on evaluation of all offers against all factors.

The Government reserves the right to further limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

Prior to the establishment of the competitive range, and after the decision to conduct discussions has been made, the Government may enter into limited communications with offerors whose inclusion or exclusion from the competitive range is uncertain. These communications are limited in accordance with FAR 15.306(b)(1). The Government will only enter discussions with those offerors determined to be in the competitive range.

At the conclusion of discussions, each offeror still within the competitive range shall be given an opportunity to submit a Final Proposal Revision (FPR) by a common cutoff date and time as established by the contracting officer. If, after discussions have begun the Government determines that an offeror’s proposal should no longer be included in the competitive range, the proposal will be eliminated from consideration for award. This may occur at any time even if all material issues have not been discussed or if the offeror has not yet been afforded the opportunity to submit a proposal revision. Written notice of exclusion from the competitive range will be provided to unsuccessful offerors.

(End of Addendum)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-4

Addendum to FAR 52.212-4 – Contract Terms and Conditions – Commercial Items.
