THIS AREA INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFER

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS (ITO)

1.0 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 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, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. The response shall consist of three (3) separate parts; Part I – Contract Documentation/Price Proposal, Part II - Technical Proposal, and Part III - Past Performance Information.

1.2 Type of Set-asided: The US Small Business Administration (SBA), Montana District Office, IAW CFR 124.507 has been determined that competition will be limited to eligible 8(a) firms located within the states of Idaho, Montana and North Dakota and, 8(a) participants in good standing serviced by an SBA office outside of these states, but having a Bona fide branch office within the geographical boundaries of these states. A Bona fide branch office is a place of business for purposes of 8(a) construction procurements located where an 8(a) Participant regularly maintains an office which employs at least one full-time individual within the appropriate geographical boundary. The term does not include construction trailers or temporary construction sites. All other 8(a) BD Participants are deemed eligible to submit offers.

1.3 Joint Venture Agreements: Per SBA, Montana District Office - Joint Venture Agreements are allowable on competitive 8(a) set-asides and must be received by SBA prior to cost proposal due date and approved before award of a resulting contract. If you are contemplating a joint venture on this project you must advise your assigned Business Development Specialist (BDS) as soon as possible. It is also recommended that the agreement be submitted as soon as practicable to ensure compliance with established regulations. Any corrections and/or changes needed can be made only when your BDS has adequate time for a thorough review before the proposal due date. NO CORRECTIONS AND/OR

CHANGES ARE ALLOWED AFTER TIME OF SUBMISSION OF THE COST PROPOSAL/BID.

1.4 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 and affordability of the price.

1.5 The offeror’s proposal:

1.5.1 Must include all data and information requested by this ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Statement of Work (SOW), Technical Specifications, and Model Contract. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this instructions to offerors (ITO) may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

1.5.2 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 or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

1.5.3 Should not include elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments as they are unnecessary and are not desired.

1.5.4 Shall make a clear statement in the proposal documentation volume that the proposal is valid through the proposal acceptance period specified in Section A of the model contract/solicitation.

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

2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

2.1 Point of Contact: The Contracting Officer (CO) is the sole point of contact for this acquisition.

Address any questions or concerns you may have to the CO. Written requests for clarification may be sent to the CO at the address located in Section A of the model contract/solicitation.

2.2 SOME DELAYS SHOULD BE ANTICIPATED WHEN HAND CARRYING PROPOSALS.

Offerors shall allow sufficient time to arrive and submit the proposals to Contracting Office PRIOR to the set closing time. Late proposals will be processed in accordance with the provisions established in FAR

15.208 “Late Submission, Modifications, and Withdrawals of Proposals”. When hand carrying proposals, the offerors can contact the contracting office by telephone at (406) 731-4647, (406) 731-4354 or the front office at (406) 731-3744.

2.3 Debriefings: The CO will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range; whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505.

Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing or they may choose to wait until after the source selection decision to request a post-award debriefing. However, offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The CO will notify unsuccessful offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.506. 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 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.

2.4 Discrepancies: If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the CO to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

2.5 Electronic Reference Documents: All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the

Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website at https://www.fbo.gov/. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

2.6 Communications: Exchanges of source selection information between Government and offerors will be controlled by the CO. Email may be used to transmit such information to offerors only if the email can be sent and received encrypted and includes “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104” in the Subject line. Otherwise, source selection information will be transmitted via 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 https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR15.DOC%23b15505 https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR15.DOC%23b15506 https://www.fbo.gov/ https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/Far02.doc%23T2101 https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR03.DOC%23b3104 encryption. If you intend to submit your source selection information via encrypted email, you will need to contact the Contracting Officer indicated on the face page of the solicitation prior to that first submittal in order to exchange certificates used for encryption.

3.2.1 General Instructions:

3.2.1.1 Price Reasonableness: This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and balance of your proposed cost/price.

Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and balance. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

3.2.1.2 Price Data: Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All data relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price volume. Under no circumstances shall this data and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

3.2.1.3 Cost or Pricing Data Requirements: In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support a determination of price reasonableness. Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient data available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror shall be required to submit additional cost or pricing data.

3.2.1.4 Rounding: Coefficients shall be no more than two (2) decimal places.

CLINs requiring pricing, other than coefficients, shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

3.2.2 Insert proposed Coefficient and estimated prices, as applicable, in Section B, Schedule B including all option periods. Limit coefficient to two (2) decimal places. The deliverable CLIN shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

5.0 VOLUME III

5.1 PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION - Limited to no more than five (5) contracts/jobs referenced with no more than five (5) pages per contract/job listed. Only references for same or similar type contract desired. Submit original plus one (1) electronic copy on CD-ROM. Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal. This information is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposed to perform 25 percent or more of the proposed effort or 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 consent letter 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, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

5.2 Relevant Contracts: Past Performance Information on five (5) recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. Also include information on five (5) recent contracts performed by each of your teaming partners and significant subcontractors that you consider most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. 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, provision M002 - Evaluation Factors, paragraph M002-3.0 - Past Performance Information.

5.3 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 an unacceptable past performance evaluation 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. 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 subfactors and Price factor used to evaluate the proposal.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

EVALUATION CRITERIA

M001 SOURCE SELECTION

a. Basis for Contract Award This is a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15, Contracting by Negotiation, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), the Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFFARS), DoD Source Selection Procedures, Appendix A, 04 March 2011 and Air Force Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, 2013 Edition. These regulations are available electronically at the Air Force (AF) FAR Site, http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the proposal with the lowest evaluated price meeting the acceptability standards for non-price factors. Contract(s) may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR Part 9.1, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is judged, based on the evaluation factors and subfactors, to represent the lowest price technically acceptable proposal.

While the Government will strive for maximum objectivity, the source selection process, by its nature, is subjective;

and therefore, professional judgment is implicit throughout the entire process.

b. Number of Contracts to be Awarded The Government intends to award one (1) contract for the SABER Program.

c. Discussions If, during the evaluation period, it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs) and the Final Proposal Revision (FPR) will be considered in making the source selection decision. If the offeror’s proposal has been evaluated as acceptable at the time discussions are mailto:jennifer.george.3@us.af.mil mailto:mark.jefferson.1@us.af.mil mailto:jennifer.george.3@us.af.mil mailto:mark.jefferson.1@us.af.mil closed, any changes or exceptions in the Final Proposal Revision are subject to evaluation and may introduce risk that the offeror’s proposal be determined unacceptable and ineligible for award.

d. Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as factors or subfactors. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and must provide complete supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to determine any such exceptions unacceptable.

M002 EVALUATION FACTORS

Evaluation Factors and Subfactors The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal. The Government will evaluate proposals for acceptability, but will not rank the proposals by the non-price factors or subfactors. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. The evaluation process will cease if any factor area rating is unacceptable., i.e. if Factor 1, sub factor 1 – contract documentation is unacceptable then the evaluation ceases and the offeror will not be considered eligible for award; if Factor 1, sub factor 1 is acceptable then the offeror’s price will be evaluated and ranked. The evaluation process shall be conducted as follows:

1.0 Factor 1 –Contract Documentation/Price Proposal. Offerors whose price is determined to be unreasonable, unbalanced, or unaffordable may not be considered for award. For the evaluation of Factor 1, the Government will review each of the proposed prices and completeness of the proposal. Section L provides detailed information on each of the sections and what the offeror is responsible to provide.

1.1. Sub factor 1 – Contract Documentation (Proposal Completeness). A complete proposal must be submitted in order for an offeror to be considered for award IAW Section L. Contract documentation will be rated as either “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as defined in paragraph 2, Table 1.

1.2. Sub factor 2 – Price Proposal – Coefficients. The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated, for award purposes, based upon the total price proposed for basic requirements (base year) and all options.

1.2.1. Initially, offerors shall be ranked according to price, including all option year prices. The proposed coefficients will be based on the estimated dollar amounts provided for each CLIN listed under the Coefficient Schedule B. Each proposed coefficient from the Coefficient Schedule B will be multiplied by the estimated dollar amount already provided; this will equal the proposed price for each coefficient CLIN. The total price, quantity of 4 sets times the proposed amount for a total amount submitted for the deliverable CLINs will then be added to include those for the option years.

Finally, the base year and the four option year periods will be added together to identify each Offeror’s total price from all CLINs (0001 through 4002). The lowest aggregate of the proposed prices will be considered the lowest priced proposal.

1.2.2. Reasonableness: The offeror’s Price proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable, pursuant to FAR 15.404. For additional information see FAR 31.201-3.

1.2.3. Unbalanced Pricing: The Government will analyze proposals to determine whether they are unbalanced with respect to prices, variable quantity matrix factors, and separately priced line items in accordance with FAR 15.404-1. An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

2.0 Factor 2 – Technical Capability. The Government’s technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on an acceptable or unacceptable basis, assigning one of the ratings described below for each subfactor. Any subfactor evaluated as “Unacceptable” will render the entire proposal unacceptable and, therefore, unawardable. Only those proposals determined to be technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of discussions, will be considered for award. However, the offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

2.1. Technical Acceptability. Next, the government technical evaluation team shall evaluate the technical proposals on a pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable. Only the lowest priced proposal will be evaluated for technical acceptability. If the lowest priced offeror is determined to be technically unacceptable, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated and the process will continue (in ranked order by price) until an offeror is determined to be technically acceptable or until all offerors are evaluated. The proposals shall be evaluated against the following technical sub factors:

2.1.1. Subfactor 1 - Organizational Structure: The offeror’s Organizational Structure plan will be evaluated for completeness and whether the offeror clearly demonstrates capability.

2.1.1.1. Measure of merit: This requirement is met when the offeror’s proposal represents technical expertise and project management capabilities IAW section L of the solicitation.

2.1.2. Subfactor 2 - Quality Control and Safety Plan: The offeror’s quality control and safety plan with methodology will be evaluated on its completeness and whether it fulfills project specifications.

2.1.2.1. Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror’s proposal represents a quality control and safety plan with methodology that includes required capabilities and requirements IAW the Statement of Work (SOW), Technical Specifications and Section L of the solicitation.

2.1.3. Subfactor 3 - Implementation Plan and Schedule: The offeror’s implementation plan and schedule will be evaluated for completeness and whether the offeror demonstrates an understanding of the requirements.

2.1.3.1. Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror’s proposal adheres to the timelines outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW) and provides documentation as required IAW Section L of the solicitation.

2.1.4. Subfactor 4 - As-built Drawings: The offeror’s submission of as-built drawings will be evaluated for completeness, quality and understanding of adherence IAW Section L of the solicitation.

2.1.4.1. Measure of Merit: This requirement is met when the offeror’s proposal demonstrates the quality and document submission requirements IAW Section L of the solicitation.

3.0 Factor 3 – Past Performance Information. Lastly, the government Past Performance team shall evaluate past performance evaluations from the lowest priced offeror whose technical proposal has been rated acceptable.

Using offeror provided past performance information, past performance questionnaires and other means, the contracting officer shall seek relevant performance information on (1) the past and present efforts provided by the offeror and (2) data independently obtained from other Government sources, if necessary. The Government will determine and assign a rating IAW the paragraphs outlined below based on the recency, relevancy and

outcome of the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance. The Past Performance evaluation results in an assessment of the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. Offerors must receive a past performance rating of “Acceptable” to be eligible for award.

3.1. Ratings. The Past Performance factor will receive one of the ratings described below.

3.2 Evaluation Process. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the solicitation requirements.

In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance proposal volume and information obtained from other sources available to the Government, to include, but not…
