SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 12-Jan-2018 03:00 PM to 26-Jan-2018 03:00 PM.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS

L-1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

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 section, the term “offeror” includes joint venture partners the contractor proposes to maintain throughout the entirety of the contract. The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered non-responsive. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Request for Proposal (RFP). A proposal that is sufficiently documented to support cost/price and technical requirements in a complete, orderly, and specific detailed manner will enable the Government to perform a thorough and fair evaluation. Non-compliance with the instructions and RFP may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

2.0 Type of Acquisition

This acquisition is comprised of up to seven competitive 8(a) set-aside awards. For this acquisition, selection of the best value offeror(s) will be made using performance price tradeoff (PPT) procedures.

3.0 Discrepancies and Ambiguities

If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, ambiguities, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale no later than 10 calendar days after the RFP release.

4.0 Mistakes

Mistakes in offeror’s proposal shall be handled in accordance with FAR 14.407-4 as referenced in FAR 15.508.

5.0 Postponement of Proposal Closing Date

If a determination is made to postpone a proposal closing date, an announcement of the determination shall be posted to the Government Point of Entry (GPE), http://www.fbo.gov and, if practicable, before issuance of a formal RFP amendment otherwise communicated to prospective offerors.

6.0 Discussions

When discussions or requests for revised offers are not conducted or requested by the Government, the prices identified as part of the sample project proposal shall be valid through the date in Block 13D of the SF 1442

7.0 Contract Document

Sections K, L, and M apply to the solicitation phase only; therefore, they will not be a physical part of the resulting contract, but remain in full force and effect and should be applicable.

8.0 Points of Contact (POC)

The POCs for this acquisition are the Contracting Officer (CO), Jeffrey Grelck and Contracting Specialist (CS), Donna Neri. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the CO/CS. Address any questions or concerns to them using the following contact information:

L-2 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 The proposal package must be completed and returned to the address in Block 7 of the SF 1442, prior to the time set for closing of proposals, see Block 13A of the SF 1442.

1.1 To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein. Proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of this solicitation; alternate proposals will not be accepted. The response shall consist of three (3) separate volumes: Volume I – Executed Contract Documentation and Price Proposal, Volume II - Technical Proposal, Volume III – Past Performance.

1.2 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 of the price.

1.3 Format for proposal Volumes I, II, and III shall be as follows:

1.3.1 USE OF COMMERCIAL SYSTEMS TO TRANSMIT SOURCE SELECTION SENSITIVE

INFORMATION: To facilitate review and evaluation for this source selection the Government proposes to transmit data via commercial systems. Distributed material will be identified as source selection sensitive and distribution will be strictly limited to appropriate personnel, and shall be encrypted per AFFARS MP 5315.3 paragraph 1.4.2.2.3. Should any contractor object to their proprietary information being shared between source selection evaluators and advisors via commercial email as described above, please advise either the Contracting Specialists or the Contracting Officer using the contact information above.

1.3.2 HAND-CARRIED PROPOSALS NOTICE: Offerors are cautioned that Vandenberg AFB has stringent visitor control procedures requiring individuals not affiliated with the installation to obtain a visitor pass and be cleared by the Government point of contact to be visited prior to entrance. A request must be received at least 3 business days prior to entry for an offeror to gain entrance onto VAFB. If within 3 business days prior to the proposal due date and time, the offeror may try and schedule a day and time with the points of contact to pick up the proposal at the Visitor Center. It is possible that the points of contact may not be available to clear offerors for entrance, which may prohibit submission of hand-carried proposals; consequently, offerors electing to hand-carry their proposals for submittal just prior to closing time do so at their own risk.

1.3.3 The proposals shall be on 8 1/2” x 11” paper, white or ivory stock. Charts, tables or diagrams may not exceed 11” x 17”. Pages exceeding these dimensions will be removed from the proposal and not evaluated.

mailto:Jeffrey.Grelck@us.af.mil mailto:donna.neri.1@us.af.mil mailto:daniel.brock.5@us.af.mil

1.3.4 A page is defined as one face of a sheet of paper containing information. This includes all appendices, charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, photographs, etc., unless placed on 11” x 17” sheets, in which case they will be counted as two pages. Covers for volumes, tables of contents, indices, title pages, and section dividers/tables will not be included in the page count if they are inserted solely to provide ease to the reader in locating volumes/sections of the proposal. They will be counted if they contain any other information, (e.g. diagrams, extraneous data, etc.). Material cut sheets and/or product data included in Volume II in support of the technical proposal will not be included in the page count if the pages are clearly identified as appendices and placed at the end of the Volume II. Pages marked “This page intentionally left blank” will not be counted.

1.3.5 Each volume shall contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, with an explanation for each. The glossaries will not count against the page limitations.

1.3.6 Type face shall not be less than 12 font, with 1” margins on all sides. Smaller, legible font size, no smaller than 6 point, may be used for charts and tables.

1.3.7 The original and hard copy volumes shall be submitted in three-ring, loose leaf binders permitting the volume to lie flat when open. Staples shall not be used to bind pages. If the binder used has protective sleeves on the covers or spine (including the exterior), the offeror should not insert anything in these protective sleeves. A cover sheet shall be included in each binder clearly identifying the company name, solicitation number, volume number, and copy number (e.g.

“Original” or “Copy 1 of 4”). The header of each page shall include the company name, solicitation number, and page number. See Table below for specific number of copies to be submitted and maximum number of pages permitted.

2.3.1 General Instructions: Each offeror, as defined in subsection L-1 paragraph 1.0 of subsection L-1, shall submit a past performance proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in Attachment 7 of the RFP. Offerors are cautioned 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 information required in this paragraph, the offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. Past Performance Information pertaining to a joint venture partner cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without receipt of a consent letter. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of required information on the offeror’s performance. A sample consent letter and client authorization letter are included as attachments 8b and 8c respectively.

2.3.2 Early Proposal Information: Each offeror is requested to submit the information shown in

Attachment 7 of the RFP for each relevant contract NLT 3:00 PM Pacific, 19 January 2018.

Failure to submit early proposal information will not result in offeror disqualification. The offeror shall send out Past Performance Questionnaires to each of the Points of Contact (POCs) identified in the Past Performance Volume. In turn, the evaluating agency shall submit the completed questionnaire by registered mail to 30 CONS/LGCA, Attn: Jeffrey Grelck, 1515 Iceland Ave., Bldg. 8500 Rm 150, Vandenberg AFB, CA 93437, or via email to jeffrey.grelck@us.af.mil. If sending by email, the evaluating agency should encrypt the email when possible. Evaluators shall send questionnaires directly to the Government no later than 7 days after receipt of the questionnaire. No questionnaire submittals will be accepted directly from the offeror being evaluated. Once the evaluator completes the information, the information shall be considered Source Selection Sensitive in accordance with FAR 2.101 and 3.104. A cover letter for transmitting the questionnaire to each point of contact is provided in Attachment 8a of the RFP.

The due date for Volume III – Past Performance is 3:00 PM Pacific, 19 January 2018.

2.3.3 Relevant Contracts: Submit information in accordance with Attachment 7 of the RFP on at least three (3) but no more than seven (7) recent contracts that you consider relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform on the proposed effort. If proposing as a joint venture, include information on at least one (1) recent contract performed by your joint venture partner(s). 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 Section M paragraph M- 3.3.2.

2.3.4 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 Technical sub-factors and Price factor used to evaluate the proposal.
