PROPOSED TEAMING/SUBCONTRACTING LIST (ROTARY WING MAINTENANCE CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION)

All Offerors must ‘submit’ proposals IAW the guidelines set forth in this attachment.

(a) Cross-Teaming defined for the ROTARY WING MAINTENANCE CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION acquisition: A cross-teaming arrangement is when Company ABC wins a prime contract and subsequently teams/subcontracts (as defined in FAR 9.601) with Company XYZ. At the same time, Company XYZ wins another prime contract and subsequently teams/subcontracts with Company ABC.

(1) For this acquisition limited cross-teaming will be allowed. If a company is awarded a prime contract in one competition pool (either full and open (F&O) or small business) it is allowed to be on one other cross-team in the other competition pool. This means companies within ROTARY WING MAINTENANCE CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION are allowed to be on a maximum of 2 cross-teams.

The following limited cross-teaming scenario would be allowed:

Large business ABC wins a prime contract in the F&O competition pool and has teamed/subcontracted with small business XYZ. These same two companies are allowed to team/subcontract in the small business competition pool. Should small business XYZ win a prime contract in the small business competition pool, it is allowed to team/subcontract with large business ABC. At this point, these two companies can no longer be on any other cross-teams.

The following two cross-teaming scenarios would NOT be allowed:

Large business ABC wins a prime contract in the F&O competition pool and has teamed/subcontracted with small business XYZ. Should small business XYZ win a prime contract in the F&O competition pool, it cannot team/subcontract with large business ABC in the same competition pool (here, F&O).

Small business ABC wins a prime contract in the small business competition pool and teams/subcontracts with small business DEF. Should small business DEF win a prime contract in the small business competition pool, it cannot team/subcontract with small business ABC in the same competition pool (here, small business).

(b) Possible Business Arrangements:

(1) Teaming Partner (T): two companies proposing under a contract teaming arrangement agreement. To enter into a teaming arrangement agreement, the Offeror must provide a contract teaming arrangement agreement signed by all team members. This contract teaming arrangement agreement must state each member of the team will conduct business under one composite not-to-exceed (NTE) rate for each job classification. Each contract teaming arrangement agreement must also state all team members must operate under one billable hourly rate at the task order level. Team members will not have their own composite NTE rates, nor separate billable hourly rates at the task order level.

(2) Subcontracting arrangement (S): for the ROTARY WING MAINTENANCE CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION acquisition is your typical prime/sub relationship. FAR 52.219-14 is included in this IDIQ contract. The “At least 50%” requirement within the clause may be met by an affiliation of small businesses, provided each member of the affiliation meets the small business size standard. Additionally, prime/subcontracting arrangements must adhere to DFARS 252.216-7002, “Alternate A, Time and Materials / Labor Hour Proposal Requirements – Non Commercial Item Acquisition with Adequate Price Competition (Feb 2007)” for task order proposals when T&M CLIN’s are required.

(3) Joint-ventures (JV): will be allowed under this acquisition, FAR 4.102(d) applies. To enter into a joint-venture arrangement agreement, the Offeror must provide a joint-venture arrangement agreement signed by all members. This joint-venture arrangement agreement must state each member of the venture will conduct business under one composite not-to-exceed (NTE) rate for each job classification. Each joint-venture arrangement agreement must also state all members will operate under one billable hourly rate at the task order level. Joint-venture members will not have their own composite NTE rates, nor separate billable hourly rates at the task order level.

(4) Mentor/Protégé (MP): will be allowed under this acquisition, under the rules set forth in 13 CFR 124.520.

Post-award management of teaming/subcontracting/joint-venture/mentor-protégé agreements:

(c) Post-award, a Contractor may add subcontractors and/or teaming partners. Any addition or replacement of a ROTARY WING MAINTENANCE CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION contract team’s subcontracting/teaming arrangement shall first obtain Contracting Officer approval. Changes to the original subcontract/teaming arrangement shall not result in any upward adjustment of the contractual hourly rates – rates established in the basic contract in RFP/Contract Attachment 02, Labor Category Rate Matrix, will serve as maximum rates for the duration of the ordering period regardless of subsequent changes in ANY (i.e. subcontracting, teaming, joint venture, or mentor/protégé) arrangement.

(d) Contracting Officer approval of additions or replacements in subcontractor/teaming arrangements will be based on the following:

(1) The proposed subcontractor/teaming addition or replacement is not currently aligned with another ROTARY WING MAINTENANCE CONTRACT CONSOLIDATION contract team in the same competition pool. Additionally, the proposed subcontractor/teaming addition or replacement has not reached the maximum two team limit. If the Government determines either of these conditions is present, the proposed teaming/subcontracting addition or replacement will be denied. If a proposed subcontractor does not have a prime contract in either competition pool, this criterion does not apply.

(2) The proposed subcontractor/teaming addition or replacement is not currently shown as suspended or debarred in the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS). The Contracting Officer will deny any addition/replacement requests, should the proposed subcontractor/teaming addition or replacement show as suspended or debarred.

(e) The following “Teaming/Subcontracting List” will be incorporated as an attachment (Section J) to each successful Contractor’s prime contract. If the contracting officer approves additions or replacements IAW the above criteria, the subject Contractor’s prime contract will be modified to include an updated list.
