SECTION I - CONTRACT CLAUSES

The following have been added by full text:

5352.209-9000 ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCT 2010)

(a) The following restrictions and definitions apply to prevent conflicting roles which may bias the Contractor's judgment or objectivity, or to preclude the Contractor from obtaining an unfair competitive advantage in concurrent or future acquisitions.

(1) Descriptions or definitions:

"Contractor" means the business entity receiving the award of this contract, its parents, affiliates, divisions and subsidiaries.

"Development" means all efforts towards solution of broadly-defined problems. This may encompass research, evaluating technical feasibility, proof of design and test, or engineering of programs not yet approved for acquisition or operation.

"Proprietary Information" means all information designated as proprietary in accordance with law and regulation, and held in confidence or disclosed under restriction to prevent uncontrolled distribution. Examples include limited or restricted data, trade secrets, sensitive financial information, and computer software; and may appear in cost and pricing data or involve classified information.

"System" means the system that is the subject of this contract.

"System Life" means all phases of the system's development, production, or support.

"Systems Engineering" means preparing specifications, identifying and resolving interface problems, developing test requirements, evaluating test data, and supervising design.

"Technical Direction" means developing work statements, determining parameters, directing other Contractors' operations, or resolving technical controversies.

(2) Restrictions: The Contractor shall perform systems engineering and/or technical direction, but will not have overall contractual responsibility for the system's development, integration, assembly and checkout, or production.

The parties recognize that the Contractor shall occupy a highly influential and responsible position in determining the system's basic concepts and supervising their execution by other Contractors. The Contractor's judgment and recommendations must be objective, impartial, and independent. To avoid the prospect of the Contractor's judgment or recommendations being influenced by its own products or capabilities, it is agreed that the Contractor is precluded for the life of the system from award of a DoD contract to supply the system or any of its major components, and from acting as a subcontractor or consultant to a DoD supplier for the system or any of its major components.

5352.209-9001 POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT OF INTEREST (OCT 2010)

(a) There is potential organizational conflict of interest (see FAR Subpart 9.5. Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest) due to services directly related to this acquisition. Accordingly:

(1) Restrictions are needed to ensure that there are no unfair competitive advantages obtain by an offeror.

(2) As a part of the proposal, the offeror shall provide the Contracting Officer with complete information of previous or ongoing work that is in any way associated with the contemplated acquisition.

(b) if award is made to the offeror, the resulting contract may include an organizational conflict of interest limitation applicable to subsequent Government work, at either a prime contract level, at any subcontract tier, or both. During evaluation of proposals, the Government may, after discussions with the offeror and consideration of ways to avoid the conflict of interest, insert a special provision in the resulting contract which shall disqualify the offeror from further consideration for award of future contracts.

(c) The organizational conflict of interest clause included in this solicitation may be modified or deleted during negotiations.

L-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 an unacceptable proposal that the Government eliminates from consideration for award. The Government will not accept changes to Offerors’ proposals after the closing date of this solicitation (see FAR 15.208 for further information regarding late proposals).

L-3.3 Proposals in response to this solicitation will be valid for 90 calendar days. Block 12 of the SF 33 shall be completed to read 90 calendar days.

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 Performance Work Statement (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.

L-5.3.2 Electronic Copies. Proposal information for each volume shall be submitted as a Portable Document Format (PDF) file using Acrobat Adobe 9.0 or latest version. Offerors shall NOT submit any documents in PDF that are copied as images. Offerors may use JPEG images for charts or screen shots. Volume III Price – Schedule B, Pricing Table, shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel 2003, 2007, or 2010. 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. All charts in the proposal shall be searchable. Offerors shall insert the file name in the header of each document.

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. Copy requirements and page limitations are as follows:

Volume Electronic Copy Page Limit Due Date I – Technical 1 PDF File 15 pages

As indicated in Block 9 of the RFP

II – Past Performance 1 PDF File 8 pages

III – Price 1 PDF File

1 Excel File (Pricing Table)

NONE

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.

Fold-outs shall not exceed (11” x 17”), and shall count as one page. All material shall be contained within the page limit identified for each volume. All appendices, charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, photographs, drawings, etc., are included in the page count, with exception of items stated in L-5.3.6.

L-5.3.6 Pages Not Included in Page Count. The organizational chart, acronym list, and overview section will not be included in the page count. 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. 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. 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 all other 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.

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 the 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 Offerors plan to meet award requirements. This section shall not contain any pricing data.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

SECTION M

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 31 March 2016, and Air Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Mandatory Procedures 5315.3, Source Selection dated 25 May 2018.

M-1.2 Award will be made to one Offeror deemed responsible IAW FAR Part 9.1, whose proposals conform to the solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, with the lowest total evaluated prices and 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-1.3 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, and all other terms and conditions of the proposed contract must exist between the Offeror and the Government at the conclusion of discussions.

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 Offeror, 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 three (3) 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 rank all proposals by the initially proposed total price, from lowest to highest by strictly reviewing price for mathematical accuracy and completeness. The initially proposed total price includes the sum of all option / performance years. The Total Overall Evaluated Price (TOEP) will consist of the sum of all FFP and CR CLINs, including optional CLINs, for the Phase-In period, base year, all option years, plus the same price of the second option year for the 6-month extension option. Evaluation and determination of the proposed TOEP as fair, reasonable, realistic, and balanced will occur as specified in Step 2 below, paragraph M-3.1.1.2.3, and paragraph M-3.4. The Government intends to establish an initial evaluation pool of the three (3) lowest price proposals. The Government will then evaluate technical proposals of offerors in the initial evaluation pool. Those outside the initial evaluation pool will NOT be evaluated, however, the Government reserves the right to pull in the next lowest priced proposal(s) to ensure adequate competition, if necessary, or if the PCO determines it is in the best interest of the Government.

M-3.1.1.2 Step 2: Factor Evaluations. Upon establishment of the evaluation pool as described above, the Government will evaluate each factor, as follows:

M-3.1.1.2.1 Technical Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the technical proposals of Offerors in the evaluation pool as specified in paragraph M-3.2. If any of the proposals receives any “Unacceptable” ratings, 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 of the Offerors in the evaluation pool. Past performance will be evaluated as specified in paragraph M-3.3.

M-3.1.1.2.3 Price Evaluation. The Government will evaluate the price proposals of the Offerors in the evaluation pool. Price proposals will be evaluated as specified in paragraph M-3.4.

M-3.1.2 Award Decision. See M-1.

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 two (2) subfactors: (1) Technical/Staffing/Management Approach and (2) Mission Understanding. Technical proposals will be assessed a rating of "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" at the subfactor level IAW Table C-1 of the DoD Source Selection Procedures effective 31 March 2016, as show below:

The Government will not search for data to cure problems or address inconsistencies in an Offeror’s proposal.

Proposals that exceed the evaluation criteria will not receive higher ratings. To be eligible for award, an “Acceptable” rating for all technical subfactors is required. 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. Below are the subfactors:

M-3.2.1 Subfactor 1: Staffing/Management Approach. The offeror’s proposal shall demonstrate the offeror’s ability to organize effectively/efficiently to successfully execute PWS requirements. The proposal shall address the labor categories described within the PWS and decision-making authority levels to include integration of teaming partners into the contractor’s organization.

RATING DESCRIPTION

ACCEPTABLE Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

• Criteria 1: The offeror’s approach describes and effectively demonstrates how candidates meet the Knowledge, Skills, and Abilities required in the PWS.

• Criteria 2: The offeror’s approach describes and effectively demonstrates how the offeror will attract, recruit, hire, train, and retain qualified personnel and shall provide a detailed description of how they will accomplish a phase-in to meet full operational capability on contract start and throughout the life of the contract (ie sick leave, security violations, involuntary dismissals, etc.). The offeror's plan shall also describe and demonstrate an effective approach to hire incumbent personnel or phase-in trained/qualified personnel with the appropriate security clearances required to assume contract tasks and responsibilities Day 1 of the contract.

M-3.2.3 Subfactor 2: Mission Understanding. The offeror shall provide a description of its understanding of the tasks to fulfill PWS requirements. This is not intended to be a technical approach response; however, it should demonstrate the offeror’s understanding of the requirements.

• Criteria 1: The offeror’s proposal describes and demonstrates effective knowledge of DoD’s Planning, Programming, Budget, and Execution System (PPBES) cycles, processes, and the intricacies that are unique to counter narcotics funding.
