Air Force Reserve Advertising Contract

Speculative Creative Scenario

Background: Historically, the Air Force Reserve Command has advertised to the general public as a whole. As new missions are tasked at new locations we are seeing a need to target more specifically by job and location.

Tasking: Concept, Create, and Develop a speculative advertising campaign(s) that will allow the Air Force Reserve to market to individuals specifically for a new fighter aircraft mission in Omaha, Nebraska. This campaign should be primarily geared toward generating awareness of the Air Force Reserve in this area and generating leads for aircraft mechanics and pilots. This interest would be quantified by an increase in the quality of Leads and Accessions in the Nebraska area. The second goal of this campaign would be to increase general awareness in the population about the existence of the Air Force Reserve Command.

Minimum Requirements: Each Campaign presented shall have, as a minimum, examples of advertising the following media types. (1) One or more print literature pieces, (2) One or more 30 second radio spots, (3) One or more PSA TV commercial story boarded concepts and (4) One or more Web Micro site concepts.

D. VOLUME III – PRESENT AND PAST PERFORMANCE

The offeror shall submit Present and Past Performance Information for itself and each proposed Teaming Partner in accordance with the format contained in the Present/Past Performance Fact Sheet (see RFP attachment L-2). and the following paragraphs.

1). The requested present and past performance information shall be provided in a separate section (i.e., 3-ring binder) labeled “Volume III – Present and Past Performance Information.” A summary page shall be provided describing the role of the offeror and each Teaming Partner (nature of work, criticality of work, and percentage of overall work.) Offerors shall complete a separate Fact Sheet for each active or completed contract (with preferably at least one year of performance history) in the past three (3) years that the offeror considers relevant in demonstrating its ability to perform the proposed effort. If the total number of such contracts exceeds four (4), the offeror shall address its four (4) most recent and relevant contracts. For each Teaming Partner included in the offeror’s proposal, a Fact Sheet for four (4) of their most recent and relevant contracts shall also be included. Note: If the contract you are submitting is an ordering type contractual vehicle (e.g., an Indefinite Delivery “D” contract per FAR 16.5), only after issuance of a delivery/task order does performance occur. Given this, an individual order (or orders) under the basic ordering contract should be submitted in lieu of just the basic ordering contract itself. Each submitted order shall be considered a separate effort unless information is provided indicating follow-on or series of orders for continued performance of the same scope and such can be verified by the user/customer. In this event, such submitted multiple orders shall be considered as a single effort for evaluation purposes. For all submittals, the performance on efforts identified shall be restricted to those complete or ongoing during the past three (3) years from the issuance date of this solicitation. The offeror’s present and past performance information may include data on efforts performed by other division or corporate management, if such resources will be used in the performance of the proposed effort. Contracts listed may include those with the Federal Government, state and local governments or their agencies and commercial customers. Offerors or Teaming Partners that are newly formed entities who have either no prior contracts or do not possess relevant corporate past performance, but have key personnel with relevant past performance while employed by another company, may demonstrate the performance of such key personnel by submitting a Fact Sheet for four (4) of their most recent and relevant contracts under which such key personnel performed the same role currently being proposed on the instant acquisition. Note, however, that the quality of the key personnel’s performance under the submitted contract must be able to be verified by the Performance Confidence Assessment Group (PCAG) in order to be considered in the assessment of confidence. Any such key personnel must already be employed by the offeror, or in the case of a critical subcontractor, must already be employed by the critical subcontractor.

In addition to the Fact Sheet for each entity as required in the above paragraph, the offeror must submit a consent letter executed by each of its proposed Teaming Partners authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the prime contractor to allow the prime contractor an opportunity to respond. A sample Subcontracting/Teaming Consent Form is attached as RFP Attachment L-4. The consent form should be completed by the teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent forms should be submitted as part of your Past Performance Volume. Include relevant information concerning the offeror’s (and Teaming Partners’, if applicable) compliance with FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns if this Clause was contained in any of the four (4) contract efforts identified in Volume III, Performance Information, of the offeror’s proposal. If it was not contained in these four (4) contracts, submit this information on two (2) additional contracts which contained this clause.

2). Pursuant to the requirements of FAR provision 52.219-8, each offeror shall provide relevant information concerning its intent to comply with the policy of the United States in the awarding of subcontracts to small business concerns, veteran-owned small business concerns, service-disabled veteran-owned business concerns, HUBZone small business concerns, small disadvantaged business concerns, and women-owned small business concerns to the fullest extend consistent with efficient contract performance for this resultant contract.

3). the offeror shall focus its Fact Sheet responses so that they clearly correlate present and past performance with the requirements of this RFP. The Fact Sheet submitted by the offeror and each critical subcontractor must clearly describe the relevance of the effort to the work proposed by that entity. The offeror may expand the answering space on the Fact Sheet so that the filled-in Fact Sheet covers no more than both sides of two 8 ½ X 11 inch pages. The offeror shall provide the most current information for the Points of Contact (POCs) identified on the Fact Sheets.

4.) Offerors shall include two additional pages (8 ½ x 11 pages with 0.5” margins) in spreadsheet format that simply list all contracts that the offeror is performing or has performed in the past three (3) years. Also, provide a spreadsheet on each teaming partner. If the list of said contracts exceeds two (2) pages per entity, only the most recent contracts ongoing/completed shall be listed. The purpose of the spreadsheet is to capture the total scope of work (whether or not the offeror deems the work relevant to this instant RFP) that the offeror and joint venture/teaming partners have ongoing, completed or terminated in the past three (3) years. The Government may obtain and use performance information on any or none of these programs. The spreadsheet(s) shall include (as a minimum) current information as follows:

Contract Number

Period of Performance (Max Years)

Max Total Estimated Dollars

Stage of the Program and Brief Status

Contracting Agency or Customer

Phone & Fax Numbers for at least two (2) POC’s

Brief Program Description (Include Relevancy and Quantity)

5.) If problems were encountered during the performance of the identified contracts, provide evidence of the offeror’s ability to isolate the root causes of problems and include in the Fact Sheet a description of programs or actions taken to resolve those causes. Problems not addressed by the offeror but found by the Government during the evaluation of the information in this volume will be assumed to still exist. Note: In the case of Contractor Performance Assessment Report System (CPARS), if your input has already been provided and the rationale/circumstances have not changed, DO NOT repeat them here.

6). For each of the four (4) submitted contracts found to have some relevance to the instant acquisition, the PCAG will contact the point of contact identified in the Fact Sheet(s). A telephone interview will be conducted utilizing the Present/Past Performance Questionnaire (see RFP Attachment L-5). The Government reserves the right to change, alter, and/or supplement the questionnaire without further notice to the offeror(s).

7). In the event that commercial contracts are presented as present/past performance sources of information, a client authorization letter shall be issued to those commercial POC’s requesting/authorizing them to verbally complete a Present/Past performance Questionnaire when contacted via telephone by the Government. A sample client authorization letter is attached to the RFP (see RFP Attachment L-3). The offeror is required to send the client authorization letter(s) with Present/Past Performance Questionnaire(s) to each POC on commercial contracts. A separate copy of client authorization letter(s) for each commercial contract shall be include in the offeror’s Present/Past Performance submission to indicate the commercial client has been notified of the requested/authorized interview.

8). RFP Attachment L-2, Present/Past Performance Fact Sheet, must include the following legend at the top and bottom of the page:
