Miscellaneous text in this section has been modified to:

Section L - Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The response shall consist of three (3) separate parts, Part I - Technical Proposal, Part II - Past Performance, and Part III - Price Proposal.

B. The Contracting Officer (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 and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition the CO determines that adequate price competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the CO to determine the reasonableness of the price.

C. Exchanges of source selection information between Government and offerors will be controlled by the Contracting Officer. Email may be used to transmit such information, only if the email can be sent encrypted, and must include "Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104" in the subject line of the email. Otherwise, source selection information will be transmitted via direct mailing or facsimile. In order to facilitate the sending and receiving of encrypted emails, offerors must use MS Outlook email configured to support encryption or a different email product that is S/MIME compatible and configured to support encryption. If you intend to submit your source selection information via encrypted email, you will need to contact the Buyer/Contracting Officer indicated on the face page of the solicitation prior to that first submittal to exchange certificates used for encryption. To ensure the process is working correctly, send a test encrypted message first (without including any source selection information). Otherwise, source selection information will be transmitted via direct mailing or AMRDEC SAFE at https://safe.amrdec.army.mil /safe/guide.aspx. When submitting source selection information via email, file suppression utilities, to include but not limited to zip files, will not be accepted.

D. Specific Instructions:

1. PART I - TECHNICAL PROPOSAL: Limited to no more than 10 pages as defined in paragraph (D). The page limitation includes any cover page, charts, graphs, drawings, diagrams, supporting illustrations, spreadsheets, etc., but excludes any table of contents or list of acronyms (if utilized). Offerors are cautioned that any pages that exceed the page limitations shall not be read but shall be removed and either retained in the

FA452824R00030001

contract file without being considered in the evaluation or sent back to the offeror. The written technical proposal shall be clear, concise, and include all the information required by this provision in sufficient detail for effective evaluation. 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 the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities, work processes, facilities, and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's technical proposal. The written technical proposal shall address the following subfactor to describe the offeror's proposed approach to performing the requirements set forth in the Statement of Work. The Government will assess the offeror's proposed technical capabilities.

Technical Proposals will be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis by subfactor.

Subfactor 1 - Manpower Plan

Description: Offer must provide a manpower plan identifying the hiring and surge plan.

Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror's proposal provides a plan identifying the hiring plan and surge plan. The hiring plan shall show an approach to provide qualified personnel to meet the requirements of the SOW. The surge plan shall provide details on how the offeror will adjust manpower to a fluctuating volume of projects.

2. PART II - PAST PERFORMANCE: Will be rated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis.

a. A Past Performance Information Form (PPIF) (Attachment 4) is provided with the solicitation for offerors to send to a maximum of three (3) references of their choice with active or completed contracts within the past five (5) years from the issuance date of the RFP that the offeror/joint venture member considers relevant in demonstrating its ability to perform the proposed effort. PPIF references who have returned the questionnaires will be used in the past performance evaluation. Please note that the PPIF will only be accepted if it is received directly from the reference.

b. The US Government will consider and evaluate offeror's past performance information, to include the PPIF, which are deemed recent and relevant for the requirements of this RFP. The Government will use other information to assess past performance to include, but not limited to: the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS); Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), or other databases; previous source selections; and interviews/questionnaires with Contracting Officers and commercial sources if the data is recent and relevant. to assess performance. Recent and Relevant is defined in the subparagraph below:

i. 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 5 years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

ii. Relevant performance information obtained to determine whether the products provided/services performed under those contracts relate to the Technical subfactor and Price factor. For each recent past performance citation reviewed, the relevance of the work performed will generally be assessed for the Technical subfactors and Price Factor (however, all aspects of performance that relate to this acquisition may be considered).

Consideration will be given to:

The offeror performed as the prime contractor for protective coatings with a contract dollar value of at least $250,000.00 and similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to the effort required by this solicitation.

In determining the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the Government will only consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime, subcontractor or teaming partner. The PPIFs and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

c. In determining the relevancy of effort performed under individual past performance contracts, the Government will only consider the specific effort or portion consistent with that proposed by the prime, subcontractor or teaming partner. The PPQs and information obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance. Teaming arrangements are characterized by two or more business entities that are working together under the representation of one of the existing business entities for the duration of a contract. A teaming arrangement is not a formal merger of two or more business entities. The Government recognizes the validity and integrity of teaming arrangements as detailed in FAR

9.6. All offerors are encouraged to review FAR 9.6 to acquaint themselves with its details. Since the Government can only determine the responsibility of the prime contractor per FAR 9.604(b), IAW FAR 9.1, Responsible Prospective Contractors, offerors must identify in their offer any teaming arrangement to be considered and completely identify the relationships/responsibilities of the teaming members, to include relevant and recent past/present performance information on a maximum of three (3) projects teamed with the same partner. If unable to submit three (3) past/present performance information questionnaires with the same partner, submit past/present performance information on the prime contractor for a maximum of three (3) projects total.

d. Joint ventures are characterized as two or more business entities that have been merged to create one business entity with equal responsibility during the course of the contract. If this is a first time Joint Venture, please submit past/present performance information on a maximum of three

(3) projects total by any business entity in the arrangement as identified in paragraphs (a) and (b) above.

e. Subcontractor Consent: Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's written consent. Provide a letter of consent to release past performance information to the prime offeror from each subcontractor that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement.

f. The offeror shall send out and track the completion of the PPQ (Attachment 7) to each of the offeror's references. The responsibility to send out and track the completion of the PPQ rests solely with the offeror - i.e., it shall not be delegated to any other entity. The PPQ must be submitted directly by the offeror's reference to the Government not later than the date established in the RFP for receipt of proposals. Return completed Past

Performance Information Forms NLT the offeror due date and time specified in block 13 of the solicitation SF1442. Have PPIFs sent to:

nitra.latta.2@us.af.mil and bridget.moore.5@us.af.mil

Once the Present/Past Performance Questionnaires are completed by your POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered source selection sensitive and shall not be released to you, the offeror. Therefore, any exchange/contact between the offeror/joint venture member and/or critical subcontractor and its own reference regarding comments made on the questionnaire is not permitted.

3. PART III - PRICE PROPOSAL: Submit original and one (1) copy.

a. Complete blocks 14 through 20C of the RFP Section A, SF1442. In doing so, the offeror accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in RFP Sections A through K. These sections constitute the model contract.
