L-5.2 A proposal that is orderly and sufficiently documented will enable the Government to easily understand and perform a thorough and fair evaluation. The Government may incorporate into this contract, by reference or full text, portions of the successful Offeror’s proposal submitted in response to this solicitation as revised and supplemented through the final proposal revision.
L-5.3 Proposal Format. A complete proposal consists of three (3) separate volumes: Technical, Past Performance, and Price.

Volume III Price – Schedule B, Table B-1, shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel 2003, 2007, or 2010. Offerors may elect to submit electronic copies of the Financial Statements required in L-9.3.8 due to the size of the documents. Offerors shall name files in an unambiguous manner, using plain language text, which facilitates the evaluator’s ease of accessing the files for evaluation, using standard naming conventions (e.g., Offeror Name-
Volume Name). Each volume shall be in a single searchable file (all pages (to include charts, tables, diagrams) shall be searchable), with copy/paste capability, and stored in a folder that corresponds to the proposal volume it represents (exception for searchable file: signature page of any documents requiring signature; i.e., SF33). Offerors shall insert the file name in the header of each document. All disks shall be virus checked prior to submission.
Replacement disks (CD ROM/CD-R) shall be required to update the final proposal resulting from any discussions, should they occur. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure that electronic copies and hard copies are an exact match. If there is a discrepancy between electronic copies and hard copies referenced in L-5.3.3 below, the hard copy submission will be used to conduct evaluation.
L-5.3.3 Organization/Copies/Page Limit. Information submitted shall not exceed the page limits stated below for each volume. Evaluators will only read up to the maximum number of pages specified.

L-5.3.4 Cross-Referencing. Offerors shall not cross-reference among volumes. Each volume shall be written as a stand-along document so that its contents may be evaluated without cross-referencing to another volume.
Information included in another volume but not included in the designated volume for proposal evaluation purposes, will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.
L-5.3.5 What Counts as a Page. A page shall be an 8 ½” x 11” sheet of paper. Fold-outs shall be kept to a minimum, and shall be used only where a single 8 ½” x 11” page cannot accommodate a table or other graphic.

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 parts/sections of the proposal. They will be counted if they contain any other information, e.g., diagrams, extraneous data, etc. Pages marked “This page intentionally left blank” will not be counted.
L-6 EXCEPTIONS
The Government reserves the right to award without discussions; therefore, Offerors are advised that taking exception to any requirements specified in this solicitation may result in the Government finding the proposal unacceptable. Clarification of Government requirements shall be handled by submitting questions/recommendations prior to submission of proposals. If Offerors still find it necessary to take exception to any of the requirements specified in this solicitation (Sections A through M, to include the PWS and attachments), clearly identify each exception in the overview section of the appropriate volume along with a complete explanation of why the exception was taken and the resulting benefit to the Government. Exception to solicitation requirements may require the
Government to amend the solicitation to reflect a changed requirement. The Government will consider the absence of a stated exception to mean the Offeror takes no exception to the applicable volume and the proposal will be evaluated as submitted. The Government may consider any included Assumptions as an Offeror taking exception to the Government’s requirements which may result in the Government finding the proposal unacceptable.
L-7 INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOLUME I, TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1)
L-7.1 To facilitate evaluation, the Technical Volume shall be specific, detailed, and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that Offerors have a thorough understanding of requirements. Statements that Offerors understand, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced AF publications, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable AF publications, etc.); 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 will not be considered in the Government’s evaluation;
therefore, such data should not be relied upon or incorporated in the Technical proposal by reference.
L-7.2 Acronym List. Offerors shall provide an acronym list as an attachment within the Technical Volume.
L-7.3 Purpose and Contents. The purpose of this section is to set forth, in the most comprehensive manner, an
Offeror’s understanding of the program requirements and to demonstrate an Offeror’s ability to meet the evaluation requirements of Section M, Factor 1, Technical. This section shall present a clear, concise description of how

(Note: Page limit is for description of all requirements, not per PPI reference)
See paragraph L-8.1.2
Subcontractor/Teaming
Partner Consent Letter See paragraph L-8.1.3
Organization Structure
Change History
Not to exceed two (2) pages (bullet format, narrative not required)
See paragraph L-8.1.4
L-8.1.1 Past Performance Information (PPI) Sheets (see Section L Attachment 2). Offerors shall submit PPI Sheets on contracts considered most relevant in demonstrating the ability to perform CN> Operations and Logistics
Support requirements. Offerors shall only submit unclassified PPIs. Offerors shall save each PPI sheet in a standard name format with a number associated with the submitted PPI: Offeror Name-Volume Name-PPI X (e.g., XYZ
Company-Past Performance Volume-PPI #) to submit as part of the electronic copy of the Past Performance
Volume.
L-8.1.1.1 Number of PPI References. Offerors shall submit a minimum of two (2) and a maximum of six (6) contract references. One (1) of the references provided shall be on the Prime. Additional references may be on the
Prime, teaming partner, joint venture partner or subcontractor deemed major or critical to performance of this contract in accordance with the page limitation set forth in the table at L-8.1.
L-8.1.1.2 Types of References. Offerors may provide various contracts as PPI references, to include C-type contracts or a single task/call/delivery/purchase order. Offerors may also submit an ID/IQ or Blanket Purchase
Agreement (BPA) as a PPI reference, if the Contractor served as a Prime on the ID/IQ contract or BPA (see instructions in Section L, Attachment 3). In these cases, the Government will only assess performance at the ID/IQ or BPA level and not performance on each individual, underlying task/delivery order. An Offeror may also submit individual (stand-alone) task/delivery orders under an ID/IQ or BPA as a separate contract reference on a separate
PPI, even if the Offeror submitted the ID/IQ or BPA as a PPI reference. For cases in which the Offeror was a subcontractor performing under a Prime on an ID/IQ or BPA, the Offeror shall not submit the ID/IQ or BPA as a reference.
L-8.1.1.3 Recency Determination. Each relevant contract shall have active work/services that was/were performed during the last five (5) years from the final solicitation release date. This includes contracts that were awarded prior to this period, but still had a minimum of six (6) months of active performance during the previous five (5) years.
NOTE: Underlying task/delivery order periods of performance will determine the recency of an ID/IQ contract or
BPA (in other words, there must have been active performance that meets the recency definition).
L-8.1.2 PPI Summary. Offerors shall submit a single five (5) page narrative that provides frank, concise statements regarding the Contractor(s)’ performance on all of the PPI references provided. The PPI Summary shall meet the page limitation set forth in the table at L-8.1 and describes / addresses the following:
L-8.1.2.1 Roles of Proposed Team. The PPI Summary shall describe the role of Offerors (Primes) and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners considered critical to overall successful performance of this requirement. If submitting a reference for a subcontractor, teaming partner, joint venture, or a corporate division related to the Prime, describe the nature of the work to be performed on CN> Operations and Logistics
Support by the company referenced on the PPI, and clearly define the relationship.
L-8.1.2.2 Relevancy. Offerors shall describe how each reference is relevant (individually and/or in aggregate) in demonstrating the ability to perform the full range of CN> Operations and Logistics Support capabilities IAW
ID/IQ PWS requirements and the relevancy definitions at M-3.3.2. As applicable, address how the proposed reference provided on each PPI relates to each of the four (4) technical subfactors shown in paragraph L-7.3/M-3.2.
NOTE: The overall scope, dollar value and locations of performance of the underlying task/delivery orders will determine the relevancy of an ID/IQ contract or BPA.
L-8.1.3 Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Letter (Attachment 4). PPI concerning subcontractor and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s consent. Because a
Prime Contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner PPI to the Prime during exchanges. These letters are only required for subcontractors and teaming/joint venture partners for which the Prime submits Past Performance Information as part of the Past Performance Volume.
Completed consent forms shall be submitted as part of the Past Performance Volume.
L-8.1.4 Organizational Structure Change History. Many companies have acquired, have been acquired by, or have 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 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 the Government’s past performance evaluation, Offerors shall include in this proposal volume a detailed "roadmap" describing all such organizational changes (if applicable), to include specific names and dates of the prime / joint venture and any companies for which the Offeror provides PPI.
L-8.2 Other Sources. The Government may utilize references other than those identified by Offerors in evaluation of Offerors’ Past Performance. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing accurate and complete, recent and relevant PPI that demonstrates the ability to perform this requirement rests with each Offeror.
L-8.3 Determination of Responsibility. Even though the assessment of Past Performance is separate and distinct from Determination of Responsibility required by FAR Part 9, PPI contained herein may be used to support the
Determination of Responsibility for successful Offerors.
L-8.4 Handling of PPI. Once complete, PPI will be treated as source selection information in accordance with FAR
Part 3.104. In accordance with FAR Part 15.305(a)(2)(iii), the Government will allow consideration of Offeror-defined key personnel, including current employees and new hires proposed to support management of this contract to be evaluated as part of Past Performance.
L-9 INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOLUME III, PRICE (FACTOR 3)
L-9.1 Table B-1, Pricing Schedule. Offerors shall provide the following per RFP Section B, Pricing Table paragraph and format specified in Section B, Table B-1 (the table is provided as the template/format for submission;
the burden of providing mathematically accurate and complete pricing proposals (total overall evaluated price) using the format provided in Section B, Table B-1 rests with each Offeror (see M-3.4.1)):
L-9.1.1 Labor Rates. Offerors shall propose loaded CONUS (hourly) and OCONUS (daily) (see PWS paragraph

The Government has included two “Optional” columns for both CONUS and OCONUS Labor Rates in each performance year to accommodate Offerors’ variant accounting practices. When an Offeror utilizes one of these columns, the Offeror shall change “Optional” to an appropriate heading that is indicative of each column’s content and the Offeror’s business practices. Offerors may only change the “Optional” headings. If an Offeror’s business practices do not warrant use of these columns, Offerors shall leave all cells in the column blank and leave the heading(s) as “Optional.” Proposed loaded labor rates will be the maximum allowable rates used throughout the life of this contract for FFP type T/Os; however, they may be discounted by the Contractor at the T/O level. Labor rates for Cost Reimbursable labor will be negotiated at the T/O level, with proposed loaded labor rates serving as the basis for negotiation. There is no guarantee that requirements will exist for all labor categories listed or that the labor categories included are fully representative of all the work that will occur under the CN> Operations and

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
The following have been modified:
SECTION M
SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD
M-1 BASIS FOR CONTRACT AWARD
M-1.1 This competitive best value source selection will be conducted using the Lowest Price Technically
Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process IAW FAR Part 15, Contracting by Negotiation, Department of Defense
(DoD) Source Selection Procedures effective 1 July 2011 and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation (AFFARS)
Mandatory Procedures (MP) 5315.3 for Source Selection as revised 27 Mar 2013.
M-1.2 The Government intends to award the CN> Operations and Logistics Support multiple award ID/IQ contract to a target of five (5) Large Businesses and three (3) Small Businesses under NAICS 561210, Facilities
Support Services, $38.5M size standard. The Government reserves the right to evaluate and/or award more than or fewer than the target number of Large Business and/or Small Business contracts based upon Source Selection
Authority (SSA) determination that it is in the Government's best interest. The SSA’s best interest determination will be based upon, but not limited to, a consideration of one or more of the following items: available funding, the need to sustain adequate competition, and the availability of awardable proposals, consistent with LPTA procedures, following completion of an integrated assessment of the proposals received. Within this framework, multiple awards will be awarded starting with the lowest priced Offeror in each pool, and then the next lowest priced Offeror in each pool, in sequence, which is technically acceptable, receives an “Acceptable” Past Performance rating, and is fair and reasonably priced.
M-1.3 The Government may make a final determination as to whether an Offeror’s proposal is acceptable or unacceptable solely on the basis of the initial proposal(s) submitted. Therefore, Offerors are advised to submit proposals that are fully and clearly acceptable without additional information.
M-1.4 The Government intends to award an initial task order within 60 days of ID/IQ award, subject to availability of funds, to each of the awardees to satisfy the minimum guarantee outlined in clause 52.216-19, Order Limitations and in accordance with PWS paragraph 3.5.4.1.
M-1.5 The Government reserves the right to award without discussions and make award based on initial proposals, but may conduct discussions if the Government determines it is necessary. If it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, the SSA, with CO concurrence, will make a Competitive Range determination, evaluation notices may be issued to Offerors in the competitive range, responses will be requested from applicable Offerors, and discussions will be opened. The competitive range may include proposals rated as
“Unacceptable” at the sole discretion of the Government. Offerors should be aware that a complete understanding as to price, technical, past performance and all other terms and conditions of the proposed contract must exist between the Offeror and the Government at the conclusion of discussions.
M-1.6 Award will be made to Offerors deemed responsible in accordance with FAR Part 9.1, whose proposals conform to the solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, with the lowest total overall evaluated prices, with an “Acceptable” rating in all Technical subfactors and an “Acceptable” rating for Past Performance. If an Offeror fails to meet all solicitation requirements, the Government may not make an award to that Offeror.
M-2 FINAL PROPOSAL REVISION
M-2.1 If the Government conducts and concludes discussions, the Government will request a Final Proposal
Revision (FPR) from all Offerors remaining in the competitive range once discussions are closed. Formal responses to FPRs will be considered in making the award decision.
M-2.2 Any revision or non-concurrence to contract terms and conditions submitted in the FPR may not be subject to further discussion, and may render the offer unacceptable to the Government. This provision is not intended to restrict the Offeror’s opportunity to revise figures (e.g., prices, discounts, percentages, rates, etc.); rather, it is intended to preclude any misunderstandings by the Government, which could result if new or revised terms and conditions are submitted in the FPR that have not been fully disclosed, discussed and understood during discussions.
Hence, such new or revised terms and conditions are not solicited and, if submitted in the FPR, may render the offer unacceptable to the Government.
M-2.3. If, upon submission of the FPR, an Offeror materially changes its proposal such that the price is no longer fair and reasonable or sufficient to keep them among the lowest priced Offerors, or other factor inputs change their ranking among other Offerors, the Offeror may be removed from consideration for award.
M-3 EVALUATION FACTORS AND METHODOLOGY
Proposals will be evaluated using three (3) evaluation factors: (1) Technical, (2) Past Performance, and (3) Price.
M-3.1 Evaluation Methodology.
M-3.1.1 Initial Proposals. The Government will evaluate the minimum number of proposals for efficiency and to maintain adequate competition, as specified in this section. Upon receipt of the Technical, Past Performance and
Price proposals, the Government will:
M-3.1.1.1 Step 1: Rank by Initially Proposed Total Price. The Government intends to initially rank all proposals by the initially proposed total price, from lowest to highest. The initially proposed total price includes the sum of all option / performance years and the minimum guarantee (the total price listed in Exhibit 1, Table B-1, Tab 1, titled
“Total Price”). Evaluation and determination of the proposed Total Overall Evaluated Price as fair, reasonable and balanced will occur as specified in Step 2 below, paragraph M-3.1.1.2.3, and paragraph M-3.4. For the purposes of the ID/IQ evaluation, the Government will rank all proposals in two pools as specified below. Those outside the initial evaluation pools will not be evaluated unless necessary to obtain adequate competition. The evaluation pools are as follows:
M-3.1.1.1.1 Large Business Evaluation Pool. The Government will select a minimum of the eight (8) lowest priced proposals from among the Large Business Offerors for further evaluation. If the Government receives less than (8) initial proposals in the Large Business Evaluation Pool, the Government will evaluate all Large Business proposals.
M-3.1.1.1.2 Small Business Evaluation Pool. The Government will select a minimum of the six (6) lowest priced proposals from among the Small Business Offerors for further evaluation. If the Government receives less than (6) proposals in the Small Business Evaluation Pool, the Government will evaluate all Small Business proposals.
M-3.1.1.2 Step 2: Factor Evaluations. Upon establishment of the two evaluation pools as described above, the
Government will evaluate each factor simultaneously, as follows:
M-3.1.1.2.1 Technical Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the technical proposals of Offerors in each evaluation pool as specified in paragraph M-3.2. If any of the proposals receives any “Unacceptable” ratings, as described in paragraph M-3.2, and these proposal(s) are not determined to be easily correctable, the Government reserves the right to pull in the next lowest priced proposal(s) to ensure adequate competition, or until all proposals are evaluated.
M-3.1.1.2.2 Past Performance Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the past performance proposals of
Offerors in each evaluation pool as specified in paragraph M-3.3. If any of the proposals receives an
“Unacceptable” rating, as described in paragraph M-3.3, and these proposal(s) are not determined to be easily correctable, the Government reserves the right to pull in the next lowest priced proposal(s) to ensure adequate competition, or until all proposals are evaluated.
M-3.1.1.2.3 Price Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the price proposals of Offerors in each evaluation pool as specified in paragraph M-3.4.
M-3.1.1.2.4 If additional proposals are pulled in on a one-for-one basis under any of the factors, the Government will evaluate those proposals in all three factors: Technical, Past Performance and Price.
M-3.1.2. Award Decision. If at least five (5) of the lowest priced Large Business proposals and/or at least three (3) of the lowest priced Small Business proposal are technically “Acceptable” and have an “Acceptable” Past
Performance rating, and are fair and reasonably priced, the Government may award with or without discussions, starting with the lowest priced proposal and each subsequently lowest priced proposal until a target of five (5) Large
Businesses and a target of three (3) Small Businesses are selected for award. As stated in paragraph M-1.2, the
Government reserves the right to award with or without discussions to more than or fewer than the target number of
Large Business and/or Small Business Offerors with an “Acceptable” rating for each technical subfactor, an
“Acceptable” Past Performance rating, and fair and reasonable pricing, based upon SSA determination that it is in the Government's best interest.
M-3.2 Factor 1: Technical. The Technical Factor evaluation provides an assessment of each Offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements. The Technical Factor consists of four (4) subfactors: 1) Program
Management, 2) Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Plan, 3) OCONUS Process and 4) Scenarios. Technical proposals will be assessed a rating of "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" at the subfactor level IAW Table A-1 of the
DoD Source Selection Procedures effective 1 July 2011, as revised below:
In assessing the acceptability of…
