L-5 PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

L-5.1 The instructions below prescribe the format of proposals and describe the approach for development and presentation of proposed data. Proposals shall include all of the information requested in the specific instructions.

Failure to include all information requested may adversely affect the evaluation. A proposal that merely reiterates or promises to accomplish the requirements of the PWS will be considered unacceptable.

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.

L-5.3.1 Page Format. The proposal text shall be printed single-sided versus duplex. Type size for text shall not be smaller than Microsoft Word Times New Roman 10 point font, single column, normal proportional spacing and one inch (1”) margins (top, bottom, left and right). The text for charts, tables, graphs, and figures shall be no smaller than Microsoft Word, Times New Roman or Arial Narrow, 8 point font, and used only when absolutely necessary.

Text lines and table lines of text shall be single-spaced. Page color for each page of the proposal submission shall be white or ivory. Information submitted shall not exceed the pages limits established in L-5.3.3 below.

Offerors may use JPEG images for charts or screen shots. 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, 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 document requiring signature; i.e., SF33). All charts, tables, diagrams (all pages) in the proposal shall be searchable. 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. If the page limit is exceeded, the pages in excess of the limit will be removed from the applicable volume and will not be considered as part of the evaluation.

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.

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.

3 Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Letter See paragraph L-8.1.3

4 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&GT Training Support Services.

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&GT Training Support Services 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&GT Training Support Services 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 6.1.2.17) Basic Labor and associated cost elements (Fringe, Overhead (OH), G&A), and Profit for each labor category. 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&GT Training Support Services requirement. Additional labor categories/rates may be negotiated at the T/O level (see PWS paragraph 7.1.4).

L-9.1.2 Indirect Rates. Offerors shall propose indirect rates for the items specified in Section B, Table B-1, Pricing Table.
