1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. The purpose of these instructions is to prescribe the format of Request for Proposals (RFP) and describe the approach for the development and presentation of the request for proposal data. These instructions are designed to ensure essential information required for evaluation is submitted.

B. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition so offerors are advised to submit their best pricing and technical information up front. Multiple offers will not be accepted. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will determine if 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, other than certified cost or pricing data, to the extent necessary for the CO to determine the fair and reasonableness of the price.

C. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors shall follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet and address all requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being deemed ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Proposals shall be comprehensive, complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of the RFP. Elaborate artwork, expensive visual aids are neither necessary nor desired.

The RFP responses shall consist of:

(1) Past Performance Volume

(2) Technical Volume

(3) Price Volume

All pages of each part shall be numbered. Written content will be 12 pitch and Times New Roman for all volumes excluding tables or diagrams. Each volume shall contain a cover sheet, clearly marked with the RFP number, title, and the offeror’s name. The Technical offer volume shall not contain any price data or reference to price.

If applicable, include a statement in the offer that it contains “proprietary information” and cannot be released outside the Government.

Offerors shall acknowledge all amendments to the solicitation by signing and dating Page 1 of each Standard Form 30, Amendment of Solicitation/Modification of Contract.

Failure to comply with these instructions may result in the offeror’s proposal being summarily rejected due to nonresponsiveness. Any commitments made in the offer shall become part of the resultant contract.

D. Complete in its entirety the "offeror" portion of the Standard Form 1449. An official having authority to legally bind the company contractually must sign and date the Standard Form 1449. One copy of the Standard Form 1449, and if applicable, all amendments must bear an original signature. Failure to acknowledge any amendments to the solicitation can result in an offeror being deemed nonresponsive. Award CANNOT be made to a nonresponsive offeror. Note: Be sure to sign and date where required.

E. Representations and Certifications. Complete the required Representations and Certifications or indicate if information is contained in the System for Award Management (SAM) located at https://www.sam.gov.

F. Late RFPs will be processed in accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f) “Late submission, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.”

2. FORMAL COMMUNICATIONS

2.1. Any formal communication shall be submitted in writing (via email) to the POCs below. It is the offeror’s responsibility to confirm receipt of all formal communications.

3.2. Offerors are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete proposal. Failure to furnish a complete proposal at the time of proposal submission may result in the proposal being considered non-responsive to the Government and eliminated from consideration for award. If the proposal is received late, the Government will retain the unopened proposal. However, the proposal will not be evaluated or considered for award.

4. PARTNER ARRANGEMENT (If Applicable)

4.1. If a partner arrangement or 8(a) joint venture is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any recent and relevant past performance information on previous partner arrangements with same partner. 8(a) Program joint ventures are subject to 13 CFR 124.513.

5. PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

5.1. The following instructions prescribe the format for proposals, and describe the approach to be used for the development and presentation of the proposal data. The proposal shall include all of the information requested in the specific instructions. Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation and may result in a determination that the proposal is non-responsive. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the PWS will be considered unacceptable. A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to easily understand the proposal and perform a thorough and fair evaluation. The Government may incorporate into the contract by reference or full text portions of the successful offeror’s proposal as revised and supplemented through the Final Proposal Revision submitted in response to the solicitation.

5.2. Proposal Volumes. Proposals shall be prepared in three (3) separate and distinct volumes:

Volume 1 – Past Performance Volume 2 – Technical Volume 3 – Price

Note: The font size requirement does not apply to charts, (i.e., Workload Manning Charts);

however, the font size must be reasonable and easily readable.

5.4. Electronic Submission/Copies. Electronic submissions (e-mail) shall be submitted via e-mail to the POCs listed in paragraph 2.1. Electronic Copies of proposals shall be submitted via CD-ROM, CD-R or DVD using Microsoft Office 2010 through the current version of Microsoft Office or Adobe PDF Version 8 or earlier. Offeror may use JPEG for charts or screen shots. Offeror shall name files using standard naming conventions (i.e., filename.doc for MS Word, filename.xls for MS Excel, filename.PDF for Portable Document Format, etc.). Do NOT submit any documents in PDF format that are copied as “images” or Windows Photo Gallery etc. PDF files shall enable textual search and copy functions. Each volume shall be in a single searchable, editable file and stored in a folder that corresponds to the proposal volume it represents. The files shall be named in an unambiguous manner, using plain language text, which facilitates the evaluator’s ease of accessing the files for evaluation.

Offerors shall insert the file name in the header of each document. All disks shall be virus checked prior to submission. Replacement disks will be required to update the final proposal resulting from any discussions should they occur. Electronic copies of all proposal information is required for each volume. Information submitted in the electronic format shall not exceed the page limits stated below.

5.5. Copies and Page Limit. Evaluators will only read up to the maximum number of pages specified. All pages provided by the offeror in excess of the stated limitations will not be evaluated. Copy requirements and page limitations are as follows:

l) If a teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on previous teaming arrangements with same partner. If this is a first time joint effort, each party to the arrangement must provide a list of past contracts of relevance. The Government will evaluate no more than three (3) past performances for each party of a first time joint effort.

VOLUME II – TECHNICAL VOLUME

The technical volume should be specific, detailed, and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirement for the accomplishment of the effort. Statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof; and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used” etc., will be considered unacceptable. Offerors should note that data submitted prior to the proposal submission including data submitted for current contracts and other solicitations will not be considered in the Government’s evaluation. Therefore, such data should not be relied upon nor incorporated in the technical proposal by reference. Offerors shall address the requirements noted in this section by imperative verbs regardless of whether such requirements are preceded by “the offeror shall”. The offeror’s proposal shall at a minimum be prepared in a form consistent with the technical criteria set forth in the Evaluation Criteria, of this solicitation. All information the offeror deems appropriate to address this factor and its subfactors must be included in the proposal in an orderly format. The technical volume shall address all the technical subfactors.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

(1) This competitive best value source selection will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, Department of Defense (DoD) Source Selection Procedures effective 1 April 2016 and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation (AFFARS) Mandatory Procedures (MP) 5315.3 for Source Selections. One award will be made to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and has the lowest evaluated price with an “Acceptable” rating in all technical subfactors and the past performance factor respectively. Proposals that exceed the evaluation criteria will not receive higher ratings. If an offeror fails to meet all solicitation requirements, the Government may not make an award to that offeror. The LPTA source selection process does not permit tradeoffs between price and non-price factors.

IAW FAR 15.306, Exchanges With offeror After Receipt of Proposals, and 52.215-1, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer (CO) later determines discussions are necessary.

(2) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1. Past Performance Factor 2. Technical Factor 3. Price

(i) Factor 1 - Past Performance.

Past Performance will be rated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis at the overall factor level using the ratings shown below as outlined in the DoD Source Selection Procedures, Table A-1.

Table A-1: Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Definition

Acceptable

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

There are three aspects to past performance evaluation. The first is to determine whether the offeror’s performance information is recent and second, is the performance information relevant to the effort to be acquired (this acquisition), and third is to determine how well the offeror performed on those contracts and the quality of product or service provided.

The past performance information to be evaluated on each offeror will be information retrieved from CPARS and PPIRS as well as information available through other Government sources (i.e. key Government officials) regarding predecessor companies, key personnel who have relevant experience, or sub-contractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance, or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonable assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a) (2) (iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have “Unknown” past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “Unknown” shall be considered “Acceptable”.

The Government evaluators will conduct an in-depth review and evaluation of all available performance data to determine how closely the work performed under those efforts relates to the proposed effort. The evaluation will consider the recency, relevancy, and quality of each performance reference as it relates to this acquisition when assigning the past performance rating. The main purpose of the past performance evaluation is to appropriately consider each offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance by supplying products and services that meet users’ needs, including business relations, management, schedule and performance quality constraints.

IAW 15.101-2, if the contracting officer determines that a small business’ past performance is not acceptable, the matter shall be referred to the Small Business Administration for a Certificate of Competency determination, in accordance with the procedures contained in Subpart 19.6 and 15 U.S.C. 637(b)(7)).

Recency. Recency will be assigned a rating of “Recent” or “Not Recent” for each relevant CPARS or PPIRS report.

Performance occurring within the last three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation will be considered “recent”. Reports on contracts with less than six months of performance will not be considered.

Relevancy. In evaluating relevancy, the Government will assign a rating of “Relevant” or “Not Relevant”. Relevant performance for this acquisition is to have provided BOS services for a federal or DoD agency where cost, schedule, and performance were measured/evaluated.

Performance Quality. The Government will evaluate the quality of work performed for each past performance information (PPI) contract reference reviewed. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated record of contract compliance in supplying products and services that meet user’s needs, including quality, cost and schedule.

Performance assessed as “Satisfactory”, “Very Good”, or “Exceptional” in CPARs shall be considered compliant with contract requirements. Any performance area assessed as “Marginal” or “Unacceptable” shall be considered unfavorable.

(ii) Factor 2 – Technical:

The technical rating reflects the degree to which the offeror’s proposal meets or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements. The focus is on the ability of the offerors proposal to meet the minimum requirements of the PWS. Technical proposals will be assessed a rating of "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" at the subfactor level IAW Table A-2 of the DoD Source Selection Procedures effective 1 April 2016; an overall factor level rating will not be assigned. To be eligible for award, offerors are required to receive an “Acceptable” rating in each technical subfactor.

Table A-2: Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable

Proposal clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Technical subfactors: The offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated for the following:

TECHNICAL SUBFACTOR A: PERSONNEL– IAW PWS, Paragraphs 2.3. – 2.10. and 3.2.11.3.

Aspect 1: The technical proposal demonstrates a sufficient number and qualified contract personnel by place of performance that will be available for successful execution of the PWS requirements, to include:

- Productive man-hours for all necessary staffing by functional areas established in the PWS.

- The positions, levels and number of personnel will be able to perform the BOS requirement.

NOTE: The government will be utilizing a manpower estimate to evaluate an offeror’s man-hours and unique approach (e.g. cross utilization, etc.) for completing requirements in PWS para 2.3. - 2.10.

Aspect 2: The technical proposal demonstrates an effective organizational structure detailing line(s) of authority, to include subcontractors and teaming partners.

Aspect 3: The technical proposal demonstrates cohesive functional relationships, roles and responsibilities that will ensure acceptable communication both within the company and with the government to execute the PWS requirements.

TECHNICAL SUBFACTOR B: OPERATIONAL CAPABILITY APPROACH – IAW PWS, Paragraphs 2.3.

– 2.10, 5.1, TE 1-001 and TE 1-004.

The technical proposal demonstrates an effective approach, techniques, and/or procedures to be utilized to accomplish the basic functions of planning, organizing, and controlling each functional area as set forth in PWS paras 2.3. – 2.10, 5.1, TE 1-001 and TE 1-004.

TECHNICAL SUBFACTOR C: QUALITY CONTROL – IAW PWS, Paragraph 4.1.2

The Quality Control Plan shall be evaluated on how the offeror will ensure effective integration of quality control procedures throughout the overall management structure resulting in timely and accurate deliverables and processes IAW PWS para 4.1.2.

TECHNICAL SUBFACTOR D: TRANSITION PLAN– IAW PWS, Paragraph 1.2.

The Transition Plan shall be evaluated on how the offeror will maintain smooth, effective, and timely transition of performance between the offeror and the incumbent to ensure minimal disruption of performance in all areas IAW PWS para 1.2.

(iii) Factor 3 – Price:

Price will be evaluated using the price analysis process established in FAR 15.404-1 to ensure the Government receives a fair, reasonable and balanced price. If the Government cannot determine the proposed pricing to be fair and reasonable, then “Other Than Certified Cost and Pricing Data” will be obtained from the offeror. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) including phase-in, basic period, option years and fifty percent (50%) of the last option year price in order to cover the option to extend services IAW clause 52.217-8.

There is an expectation of competition for this requirement; offerors are cautioned to present their best price proposal up-front. The offeror’s price proposal shall represent the offeror’s best effort to respond to the solicitation.

Option to Extend Services. Both the solicitation and resultant contract shall contain FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. This clause allows for up to an additional six month continued contract performance if required.

Interested offerors shall not include pricing in their proposal for this clause as fifty percent (50%) of the last option period shall be used for the pricing.

NOTE: Evaluation of the option periods shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

In addition to the price analysis as described at FAR 15.404-1(b), price proposals will be analyzed to identify any potential unbalanced pricing (See FAR 15.404-1(g)). If the Government sees a wide variation in proposed contract line item prices, the technical evaluation board will be informed as soon as possible during the initial evaluation of proposals so the appropriate personnel may seek clarity through offeror exchanges. Absent any issues related to the stated requirement, unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal.

Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror by the Government within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

EVALUATION PROCESS

For efficiency purposes, the Government will evaluate a minimum of the three (3) lowest priced offerors for technical and past performance acceptability. If the three lowest priced technically acceptable offerors are evaluated with an Acceptable rating in past performance, and are determined to be responsible in accordance with FAR 9.104, the evaluation process will stop at this point. If one of the three (3) lowest priced offerors is determined to be Unacceptable in technical or past performance or is determined to be nonresponsible in accordance with FAR 9.104, the next lowest priced offeror will be evaluated for technical and past performance acceptability and the process will continue (in order of price ranking) until three offerors are evaluated as having Acceptable technical and past performance and are determined responsible.
