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 non-responsive. Clarification of Government requirements shall be handled by submitting questions/recommendations within 10 calendar days after final solicitation release date. Questions/recommendations shall be sent to

ACCAMIC.DRX.AdversaryAir@us.af.mil. If Offerors still find it necessary to take exception to any of the requirements specified in this solicitation, 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. An Offeror that takes exception to any requirement in the solicitation may document the exception(s) mailto:ACCAMIC.DRX.AdversaryAir@us.af.mil mailto:ACCAMIC.DRX.AdversaryAir@us.af.mil as a separate section in the Price Volume. While Offerors may propose exceptions to the solicitation requirements, the Government is not obligated to accept such offers. 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 solicitation and the proposal will be evaluated as submitted.

L-7 INSTRUCTIONS FOR VOLUME I – TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1)

L-7.1 Prerequisites. In order to be eligible for award, the Technical Volume shall contain the required documentation to meet the prerequisite in Section M, Factor 1, Technical. If the contractor does NOT meet the prerequisite, the Government will not evaluate the proposal.

L-7.2 A Technical Volume shall be submitted that includes all aircraft Categories (and resulting mission sets) proposed, per the PWS and Appendix I. To facilitate evaluation, the Technical Volume shall be structured so that each sub-factor is addressed for each Category being proposed. The Volume shall be specific, detailed, and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the CAF CAS PWS requirements. The Offeror shall provide a clear and concise description of how the Offeror plans to meet or exceed the requirements of the RFP, specifically identifying any innovations or efficiencies that would result in a benefit to the Government in relation to the PWS and the technical evaluation subfactors. The Offeror shall declare internal and external dependencies by identifying all assumptions required to support performance. ADAIR and CCAS mission sets are distinct and separate under a single CAF CAS PWS based on proposed Category of aircraft. The

Offeror must clearly identify what mission they are proposing by clearly delineating aircraft Category types. When utilizing a single aircraft type to fill both mission sets, the offers must reference these as separate Categories. The

Technical Volume shall include sufficient detail that substantiates stated claims. Statements that an Offeror understands, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced AF publications, Technical Orders, etc.);

statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable AF publications, Technical Order, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used” or “work will continue as it has in the past” will be considered unacceptable. The proposal shall also cross-reference any Offeror-identified risk(s) to each subfactor. Provide your risk rating (high, moderate, low) for each risk area and justification for the rating. Describe the approach to minimize the impact of these risks on the overall success of the effort and how the risk(s) will be managed/mitigated. Specifically identify any performance standards and metrics you have established in each risk area and explain how performance standards will be used to manage risk. The Technical

Volume shall not contain any pricing data.

L-7.3 Table of Contents. A table of contents shall be included in Volume I. Each Subfactor/Aspect/Section shall be clearly marked and tabbed for easy reference. The pages shall be numbered sequentially in a consistent manner, as stated under Proposal Preparation Instructions. A sample Table of Contents (TOC) is found at Section L, Attachment 5. Offerors may expand TOC particular to their technical proposal.

L-7.4 Technical Factor Cross-Reference Matrix (Section L, Attachment 1). As part of Offerors’ proposals, a separate cross-reference matrix shall be completed and submitted with the Technical Volume. All referenced paragraphs include all subsequent subparagraphs (for example, 7.0 includes 7.1, 7.2, 7.2.1, etc.). Offerors shall fill in the columns related to their proposals. Offerors are ultimately responsible for ensuring that their proposals fully address all areas and that all requested information is completed IAW Sections L and M of this solicitation.

Offerors may provide additional references to the other columns as deemed necessary. The cross-reference matrix is not included in the page count per para L-5.3.6.

L-7.5 Acronym List. An acronym list shall be provided as an attachment within the Technical Volume and will not be included in the page count per para L-5.3.6.

L-7.6 Engineering Feasibility Assessment. An engineering feasibility assessment (Section L, Attachment 3) must be included in the Technical Volume, per Subfactor D – Aircraft Enhancements, for each proposed enhancement on each aircraft proposed by the Offeror. The engineering feasibility assessment must be signed/certified by a lead program engineer employed by the intended prime/subcontractor performing the enhancements, as applicable.

Engineering feasibility assessments must adhere to the Section L, Attachment 3 format and are limited to one page per assessment. The Offeror may submit as many engineering feasibility assessments as required in order to validate their proposed plan.

L-7.7 Previously Submitted Information. 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 Volume of the proposal by reference.

L-7.8 Requirements. Provide a technical approach addressing all Technical Subfactors at L-7.9. Offers may propose on multiple aircraft Categories and mission sets, but all data must be in a single proposal and volume. For the IDIQ selection, Offerors must provide a technical approach to meet all PWS requirements by Category, to meet specific flying hours identified in the table below. For the purposes of the IDIQ, offerors will assume each notional workload in Table L-1 supports operations from contractor’s centralized repair facility (CRF),assuming no government provided support:

Table L-1: IDIQ Notional Loads by Aircraft Category and Mission Type

* Notes:

1) Pricing and compensation for Category A, B, and C aircraft is based on sorties needed to fulfill training requirements as a single OL for each Category; associated ASD is based on average of needed ASD presented by those using OLs.

2) Pricing and compensation for Category D and E aircraft is based on “on-range” hours as the projected requirement as a single OL for each Category, irrespective of actual ASD flown. The provided sortie numbers are based on a projected 1.5 range hours at the indicated turn patterns. Actual sorties flown will vary by contractor proposal. The on-range hours, and not the associated sorties and turns, are the driving requirement based on a 20 operational day work-month. Offerors may propose increased sorties and turns to cover the required on-range hours, but will remain consistent over a 2-go/3-go day and 20 operational day work-month.

L-7.9 Technical Subfactors.

L-7.9.1 Subfactor A: Human Resources. Provide your human resources approach that explains the processes that will be used to ensure sufficient and qualified personnel are staffed to meet requirements of the PWS. At a minimum include:

L-7.9.1.1 Aspect I: Recruitment/Retention. Provide a comprehensive plan that describes your approach to recruit and retain qualified personnel.
