ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

1.0 General Instructions

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

b. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

c. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

d. FAR 52.212-1(c) is amended as follows: The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm until 18

Nov 17.

e. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one electronic (CD) copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra electronic copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

1.2.1 Page Limitations

Page limitations for the electronic copies submitted on a CD shall be treated as maximums. If exceeded, the excess pages will not be read or considered in the evaluation of the proposal and excess electronic copies will be destroyed.

Page limitations may be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the offerors. Each page shall be counted except the following: blank pages, cover pages, table of contents, tabs, indexed lists of tables and figures, glossaries, labor category position descriptions of all personnel, organization structure change history, quality control plan, key personnel resumes, and those noted in the Proposal Organization Tables (Table 1.2a and 1.2b) as unlimited.

1.2.1.1 Page Size and Format

a. These limitations shall apply to electronic copy proposals on a CD. A page is defined as any piece of a document containing information.

Foldout pages should only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics not for pages of text. For tables, charts, graphs and figures, the text shall be no smaller than 10 point. These limitations shall apply to electronic copy proposals on a CD.

1.2.2 Cost or Pricing Related Data

All cost or pricing data shall be addressed ONLY in the Price Proposals and Contract Documentation Volumes.

Cost trade-off information, work hour estimates, and material kinds and quantities may be used in other volumes only as appropriate for presenting rationale for alternatives or design and trade-off decisions.

The contracting officer has determined there may be 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 data 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 cost data to the extent necessary for the contracting officer to determine the reasonableness of the price.

1.2.3 Cross-Referencing

Each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated without cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. 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.

2.1 General

The Technical Volume should be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. Your responses will be evaluated against the Technical subfactors defined in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation

– Commercial Items. Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying the subfactors. All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your proposal submission, you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation. It is not necessary or desirable for you to tell us so in your proposal. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

2.2 Format and Specific Content

2.2.1 Technical/Technical Risk – Methodology 1 (Separate Technical/Technical Risk Rating Process)

In the Technical/Technical Risk volume, address your technical solution for meeting or exceeding the Government’s minimum performance or capability requirements of each technical subfactor. Address Technical Risk associated with those aspects of your proposed technical approach you consider to have the potential for disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful TO performance. Classify each risk in accordance with DoD Source Selection Procedures Table 2B, Technical Risk

Rating. Provide the rationale for each risk and its rating, including quantitative estimates of the impact on cost, schedule, and performance. Describe the impact of each identified risk in terms of its potential to interfere with or prevent the successful accomplishment of other TO requirements, whether or not those requirements are identified as subfactors. Propose a realistic “work-around” or risk mitigators for identified risks that will eliminate or reduce risk to an acceptable level. Identify and classify any new risks introduced by such risk mitigation.

2.2.1.1 Subfactor 1 – Staffing and Management Approach

Each offeror shall provide a supporting personnel matrix to identify their key personnel which will include their key personnel labor category descriptions, key personnel specific résumés, labor category descriptions for non-key personnel, an organizational structure hierarchy chart, and a phase-in plan. Each offeror shall also provide an integrated solution to demonstrate their approach to meeting the overall Seed TO’s requirements and identify any best practices/ innovations proposed. The specific requirements of the Staffing and Management Approach subfactor are defined in Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items.

2.2.1.2 Subfactor 2 – Mission Essential, IAW PGI 207.105(b)(20)(c) file://///periwinkle_vnx/SAF_AQC_ORG/AQCP/5640%20-%20AFFARS/Templates%20Project%20--%20Sep%202013/5315/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/1.%20%20Published%20Baseline/MP5315.3.doc%23p5512

Each offeror shall provide a Mission Essential Contractor Services plan as required by DFARS 252.237-7024 to ensure the delivery of conforming services IAW the PWS.

2.3 Teaming Matrix

A Teaming Matrix (if applicable) shall be submitted with the Seed TO Volume I. Teaming arrangements are encouraged. Offerors shall describe which tasks each member of their teaming arrangement will be responsible for and indicate any potential OCI concerns and mitigations.

3.0 Seed TO Volume II – Past Performance

3.1 General

Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with their proposal containing past performance information IAW the format contained in the Past Performance Information Sheet (PPIS) (Attachment 9). Your submissions will be evaluated against the Technical subfactors defined in the Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial

Items. This information is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposing to perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

Along with the information required in this paragraph, the offeror shall submit a Subcontractor Consent Letter

(Attachment 3) executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a Client Authorization Letter (Attachment 10 for a sample letter), authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

3.2 Early Proposal Information

Each offeror is requested to submit the information shown in the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) (Attachment 12), for each relevant contract 10 calendar days prior to the date set for receipt of proposals. Failure to submit early proposal information will not result in offeror disqualification.

As soon as practicable, offerors shall complete Section 1 of the attached PPQ (Attachment 12) and email it and the PPQ

Cover Letter (Attachment 11) to points of contact (POCs) the offeror has listed in the PPIS (Attachment 9). The POCs listed in the PPIS’s should represent the individuals most knowledgeable about the offeror’s performance on the identified contract or program, such as the following: (1) Contracting Officer’s Representative; (2) Program/Project Manager; (3)

Contracting Officer. The POCs will complete the questionnaires and forward them by email directly to the Contract

Specialist, Ms. Pamela Bragg at pamela.bragg@us.af.mil. RESPONDENTS TO THE QUESTIONNAIRES SHALL NOT

SEND THE COMPLETED INFORMATION SHEETS BACK TO THE OFFEROR. Offerors shall state this in their emails to the POC’s completing the PPQ. In order to facilitate receiving the PPQs that are not received early, offerors shall submit the name, phone number, and email address for the POCs receiving PPQs to the CS 10 calendar days prior to the date set for receipt of proposal. The Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will conduct follow-up reviews with any

POCs as necessary. The SSEB will evaluate no more than three PPQs (total) for each referenced contract.

3.3 Relevant Contracts

There is no page limit per PPIS; however, the total Past Performance volume shall not exceed 30 pages, not including the required Subcontractor Consent Letters and Client Authorization Letters. Submit information in accordance with the PPIS (Attachment 9) on no more than three recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating your or your subcontractor’s ability to perform the proposed effort. A contract, TO or blanket purchase agreement (BPA) call is considered recent if it is ongoing or if it was completed within three years of the date of issuance of this solicitation. If submitting an indefinite delivery contract vehicle or BPA for consideration, the TO or BPA call for which evaluation is requested, shall be specified. Past Performance Information sheets including more than one contract, TO or BPA call will be counted for as many contracts, TOs or BPA calls that are included on the Past

Performance Information sheet. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining recency and relevance, see Addendum to FAR

52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, paragraph 2.1.2 – Factor 2 Past Performance. The Government may consider past performance in the aggregate in addition to on an individual contract basis. In the case of offerors for which there is no information on past contract performance or where past contract performance information is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past contract performance (see

FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv).) In this case, the offeror’s past performance is unknown and assigned a performance confidence rating of “neutral.” Although the SSEB will not rate an offeror that lacks recent, relevant past performance favorably or unfavorably with regard to past performance, the SSA may determine that a “Substantial

Confidence” or “Satisfactory Confidence” past performance rating is worth more than a “Neutral Confidence” past performance rating in a best value tradeoff.

3.3.1 Specific Content

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required. Categorize the relevant information into the specific Past Performance criteria used to evaluate the proposal.

3.3.2 Organizational Structure Change History

Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a “roadmap” describing all such changes in the organization of your company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/ performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your “roadmap” should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the

Government receives information from other sources.

4.0 Seed TO Volume III – Contract Documentation and Price
