c. Past Performance Volume

3. Pricing Volume (completed on the SF1449)

a. Terms & Conditions – O erors are instructed to complete blocks 12, 17a and 30a, b, and c of the SF1449. In doing so, the quoter accedes to the contract terms and conditions as written in the solicitation, with attachments. The solicitation constitutes the model contract.

4. Technical Capability Volume (10 pages max, 11pt font max) – This program is highly dependent on the contractor’s depth of knowledge and experience working with DAF FM processes, paired with web-based analytic site creation skills. Therefore, the Technical Capability Volume shall be specific, detailed, and complete to clearly and fully demonstrate that the o eror has a thorough understanding of the requirements for the associated e ort. The validity and thoroughness of the o eror’s Technical Capability Volume will be evaluated as evidence of the o eror’s understanding and capability to perform this requirement. Broad statements that the o eror understands, can or will comply with the PWS; or statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof will be considered unacceptable. This volume shall contain no references to cost or pricing. The Technical Capability submission shall include, at a minimum, the following:

a. Program Management and Sta ing Plan – This shall include, at a minimum:

i. A detailed management and sta ing approach that illustrates an adequate plan to manage personnel throughout the life of the contract to ensure performance is accomplished IAW the PWS.

ii. An organizational structure, with descriptions of proposed roles and responsibilities

iii. A sta ing plan that addresses the labor mix of personnel currently employed and those projected for the requirement at hand

iv. A description of o eror’s recruitment and retention strategy to ensure employment of an adequate labor mix at all times. This includes maintaining the necessary quantity of qualified individuals with the requisite skillsets and experience at the appropriate level.

b. Transition Plan – O erors shall provide a Transition Plan to illustrate in detail how they will mobilize for contract performance, ensuring no degradation in service from the previous contract. O erors are instructed to propose a 45-day transition period at the start of the contract, during which time employee turnover and training with the incumbent contractor will commence. The Transition Plan shall include, at a minimum:

i. Gantt chart (or similar) outlining key mobilization activities, including a plan to a) recruit, b) train, and c) qualify and/or certify personnel during the 45-day transition period that will result in a 100% sta ed and qualified contractor workforce fully performing on the CLIN 0002 start date.

ii. If o erors do not believe a 45-day transition is necessary, submit instead a detailed rationale explaining why this is. The Government does not have resources to train new employees to perform these services at this time. Therefore, o erors’ rationale for decreased or excluded transition period should include their specific strategy for ensuring no gap in performance at the end of the current contract.

5. Past Performance Volume (5 references max; each 1 page max, plus CPARS if available) – O erors are instructed to provide information ONLY for recent and relevant past performance accomplished on Government and commercial contracts.
