1.1. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by these Instructions to Offerors and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Solicitation. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in these Instructions to Offerors may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

1.2. The proposal acceptance period is 120 calendar days past the due date of this solicitation.

1.3. All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the SAM.gov website at https://sam.gov/.

Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

1.4. The Government reserves the right to revise or amend the PWS or the solicitation prior to the proposal closing time. Such revisions or amendments will be communicated by amendments to the Request for Proposal (RFP) and posted on the SAM.gov website. If such amendments require material changes in quantities or prices, the proposal closing date may be postponed by enough days to enable offerors to revise their proposals. In such cases, the amendment will include an announcement of the new closing date and time. Offerors MUST acknowledge all amendments in their proposal (Volume III), either by providing signed copies of the amendments with their proposal, or by separate letter which includes a reference to the solicitation and amendment numbers.

1.5. The Contracting Officer listed below is the Government's sole point of contact for this acquisition. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the Contracting Officer. Written requests for clarification must be sent to the Contracting Officer at the following email address:

Charles Carnley - charles.carnley@us.af.mil

1.6. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain copy of all unsuccessful proposals.

1.7. The Contracting Officer will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competition, whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Excluded offerors may request a preaward debriefing or they may choose to wait until after the source selection decision to request a post award debriefing. However, excluded offerors are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The Contracting Officer will notify unsuccessful offerors of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.503. Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR

1.8. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the Contracting Officer to consider as related to the claimed omission or error.

This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

1.9. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. 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.

Offerors shall provide adequate past performance information on completed or current contracts (including Federal, State, local government and private) considered most relevant in demonstrating the ability to perform the proposed work as identified within the PWS. Offerors must provide past performance information to establish Recency and Relevancy on all Federal contracts before State, local government or private contracts. The Government's 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 (See Teaming Agreements, para 4.2), when such information is relevant to the instant acquisition. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of each contract are deemed relevant to complexity and magnitude as related to the requirements of this solicitation and in accordance with Section M. Failure to provide required relevancy description may impact the confidence rating, (i.e. aspects of previous projects should match work elements identified in the Solicitation/PWS).

4.1.1. Provide a summary of the previous contracts described above, not to exceed 2 pages of past performance information per reference. The summary should explain what aspects of each contract are deemed recent and relevant as related to the requirements of this solicitation and in accordance with Section M.

The maximum number of past performance references shall not exceed 10. The summary should not exceed 2 pages per reference (maximum total of 20 pages) and include:

a) Name of project (Contract number, if applicable)

b) Name and address of customer or Government agency

c) Name, telephone, fax number and/or email of customer contact or contracting officer

4.1.2. Each proposal shall provide current and relevant information regarding an offeror's actions under previously awarded contracts.

a) Recency Assessment An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the issuance month of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

b) Relevancy Assessment The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine how closely the Base Supply Services performed under those contracts relate to the scope, magnitude /complexity, contract environment and the cost/price factors of the Hurlburt Field AFB requirement. For each recent or current past performance citation reviewed, the relevance of the work performed will generally be assessed for the scope, magnitude/complexity and contract environment aspects (however, all aspects of performance that relate to this acquisition may be considered). Consideration will be given to efforts that are considered to be of the type that are similar in scope, magnitude/complexity, and contract environment when compared to the services described in this solicitation. A relevancy determination of the offeror's past performance will be made based upon the aforementioned considerations, including joint venture partner(s). In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror or teaming partner whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. The past performance questionnaires and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the degree of relevancy of past performance.

4.1.3. Complete Section 1, Contract Identification, of Attachment 3, Past/Present Performance Questionnaire and mail, or email the attached Past/Present Performance Questionnaire to all past performance references in the list you provide and instruct them to return the completed questionnaire to the individual(s) indicated in paragraph 4.1.4 below. Evaluators are only allowed to use the Attachment 3, Past Performance Questionnaire.

Altered or substituted questionnaires will not be evaluated. Also, Past Performance Questionnaires will only be accepted electronically by email from Project Owners or their authorized representatives. Past Performance Questionnaires will not be accepted from Prime Contractors, Subcontractors, or Manufacturers. Offerors are responsible to ensure questionnaires are transmitted to their references, and to indicate which references the questionnaire was sent to.

4.1.4. Inform your references that they shall forward questionnaires electronically by email directly to the address below. Questionnaires must be received in the 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron office not later than the closing date of the solicitation. Offerors are responsible for ensuring their references transmit the questionnaire to the Contracting Office. In lieu of a Past/Present Performance Questionnaire, if a project is currently available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the contractor should attach the evaluation to the questionnaire with the relevant solicitation number and submit directly to the 1st Special Operations Contracting Squadron office before the official closing date and time. Electronic submissions shall be sent to:

Charles Carnley - charles.carnley@us.af.mil Lacey Shalenko - lacey.shalenko@us.af.mil

4.1.5. Lack of any past performance will not automatically disqualify an offeror, but it is a factor that is considered in the Best Value Performance Price Tradeoff Source Selection described in Section M.

4.1.6. If the offeror claims there is no past performance, then that status must be identified to the contracting officer not later than the date/time proposals are due from all offerors.

4.2. Volume II (b) Signed Teaming Agreement. If Teaming Agreements are contemplated they must comply with the appropriate Federal Regulations (13 C.F.R. Part 121 (Size Regulations), Part 124 (8(a) & SDB), Part 125 (Government Contracting Programs), and/or Part 126 (HUBZone).

If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the teaming agreement must provide information on all relevant contracts as specified in paragraph 4.1. The maximum number of references combined shall not exceed 10 total.

4.2.1. The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of formal contractor teaming agreements;

provided, the agreements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in an offer. A teaming agreement must establish each party's role in the proposal preparation process and will be incorporated into the contract. Failure to clearly define roles and/or provide a teaming agreement with a proposal shall make teaming arrangements and related subcontractor past performance ineligible for evaluation and consideration of award.

The prime contractor shall remain fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any teaming agreement between the prime contractor and its subcontractors. Teaming Agreements must provide the following information as part of their proposal, Volume II (b), not later than the date/time proposals are due:

4.2.2. Clearly establish roles of each party (who is prime and who is subcontractor, who is responsible for what tasks, contract administration, proposals, work management, etc.)

4.2.3. Provide for protection of competition-sensitive proprietary information. (Subcontractor past performance cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's consent). Provide a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor, only if it is being used as part of the past performance evaluation.

4.2.4. Identify each member's share of the prospective contract, 50/50, 51/49, etc.

4.2.5. Exclusivity. Assurance that the team member will not be replaced for the duration of the contract; any exceptions should be identified. Assurance that the team members are not teaming with another firm for the same procurement.

4.2.6. Statement of acknowledgement that the Prime Contractor is responsible for adhering to contract terms and conditions and daily management. The Prime Contractor is obligated to negotiate in good faith and responsible for conveying mandatory government terms and conditions to subcontractors.

4.2.7. The prime contractor shall remain fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any teaming agreement between the prime contractor and its subcontractors.

4.2.8. At the time of initial contract offer and at time of award, each business must be a small business. In order to submit an offer on a contract, each business concern in a teaming agreement must be a small business under the designated NAICS size standard, and must also be small when combined in the aggregate of all teaming affiliates.

5.1. Complete blocks 12, 17a, and 30a-c of the SF 1449, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. An authorized official of the firm submitting the offer must sign and date the SF 1449 in block 30a-c. (In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the RFP, Sections A through K).

5.2. Insert prices in Section B for each Contract Line Items Number (CLIN), including all options. All line items Unit Price and Total Amount must be filled in. Total Amount extended price must equal whole dollar unit price multiplied by the number of units. Failure to provide prices for all line items may eliminate an offer from competition.
