L-III - INFORMATION TO OFFERORS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION

1.0 Program Structure and Objectives

This acquisition will be 100% Small Business set aside, and the Government intends to award five Multiple Award Contracts (MAC) Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite-Quantity (IDIQ) Contracts. The Government will utilize a low price, technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection process.

Notice to Offerors: Funds are not presently available for this effort. No award will be made under this solicitation until funds are available. The Government reserves the right to cancel this solicitation either before or after the closing date for receipt of proposals. In the event the Government cancels this solicitation, the Government has no obligation to reimburse an offeror for any costs.

1.1 Teaming

Market research confirmed that subcontracting and teaming arrangements may be necessary because of the broad scope of the contract requirements; therefore such arrangements are encouraged to ensure mission success and maximize subcontracting opportunities. During the contract competition, if a company is identified as a prime contractor or teaming partner/subcontractor on any proposal for this acquisition, then they cannot participate as a prime contractor or teaming partner/subcontractor on any other offeror‘s proposal(s).

1.2. Budget/Funding Information

For consideration in developing your proposal, the program/budget funding is as follows:

The maximum program size is $45M over a five-year ordering period. The Government intends to award multiple IDIQ contracts with each contract being issued at the maximum program size. The contracts are IDIQ ordering vehicles only and do not guarantee that any funds above the minimum contract amount specified in Section H.1.a will be awarded. Annual congressional allocations and prioritized requirements may drive future task order awards and extension of services on task orders. Continuation of these support services is expected, however, the availability of funding for future task orders depends upon various factors.

2.0 General Instructions

(a) This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or sub-factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale.

Documents submitted in response to this RFP must be fully responsive to and consistent with the requirements of the RFP, government standards, and regulations pertaining to the Performance Work Statement and evaluation factors for award in Section M of this RFP.

(b) The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but, rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities or experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

(c) Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. Corporate logos may only be included on the cover page of the proposal.

(d) The offeror’s proposal shall be valid at least 120 calendar days after the proposal due date. The offeror shall annotate block 12 of the Standard Form 33 that the proposal is valid as referenced above. The offeror shall make a clear statement in Section A of the proposal documentation volume that the proposal is valid through this date.

(e) In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. The Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

2.1.2. Debriefings

The CO will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range; whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing or they may choose to wait until after the source selection decision to request a post-award debriefing. However, offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The CO will notify unsuccessful offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.506. Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.

2.1.3. Discrepancies

If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the CO to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

Otherwise, source selection information will be transmitted via Fax. In order to facilitate the sending and receiving of encrypted emails, offerors must use MS Outlook email configured to support encryption or a different email product that is S/MIME compatible and configured to support encryption. If you intend to submit your source selection information via encrypted email, you will need to contact the Contracting Officer indicated on the face page of the solicitation prior to that first submittal in order to exchange certificates used for encryption. To insure the process is working correctly, send a test encrypted message first (without including any source selection information).

Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and categorize the relevant information into the specific Technical subfactors and Price factor used to evaluate the proposal. If there are more than two teaming partners/subcontractors proposed, the past performance information shall be included for those providing the highest percentages of reference workload as stated in Attachment L-1, Contractor Team Organization. If the offeror is a joint venture (JV), and has a past performance record as the JV, one of the submissions must be for JV (offeror). If no past performance records exist for the JV, at least one submission must be for each of the individual companies forming the JV. If the offeror is a mentor protégé (MP), one submission must be for the protégé. If the offeror is both a mentor-protégé and a Joint Venture, the past performance requirement shall meet the requirements of the Joint Venture at a minimum. A separate completed form for each of the references is required in the offeror’s proposal. Each should be numbered in Section III and separated by tab or page separators. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining recency and relevancy, see Section M 3.0, Past Performance Factor.

5.2.1.2 Specific Content

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to an unacceptable past performance evaluation rating since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required.

5.2.2 Past Performance Tool

See Attachment L-5 for data requirements on the past performance tool. The Offeror shall use the past performance information (PPI) tool for submitting relevant and recent past performance contract information. This tool can be downloaded from FedBizOpps (https://www.fbo.gov/) as an attachment to the solicitation posting. The Offeror shall use printed copies of the pages generated from this tool as the hard copy version of the past performance information for each reference tab in the Past Performance Volume. The offeror shall also save each past performance reference from the past performance tool on a CD for the electronic version. If the offeror is unable to download the past performance information tool, contact the Contracting Officer for assistance. (Note: Page numbering, line spacing and font size restrictions do not apply to the pages that are generated from the PPI tool).

5.2.3 Subcontractor/Teaming Partner Consent Letter (if required) Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. Provide with the proposal a letter from all subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement consenting to the release of their past performance information to the offeror. The offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information (reference example letter at Attachment L-3). Consent Letters do not count toward the 3-page limitation for each reference.

5.2.4 Client authorization letter (if required)

Each offeror, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner shall execute a Client Authorization Letter for commercial customers. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance (reference example letter at Attachment L-4).

5.3 Organizational Structure Change History

Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offeror(s), your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

6.0 Volume IV - Price

6.1 General Instructions

6.1.1 Price Reasonableness

This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and balance of your proposed cost/price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal.

Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and balance. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror. IAW FAR 15.305(a)(1), adequate price competition is anticipated which will establish price reasonableness. However, the Government reserves the right to require cost or pricing information or data, if necessary after proposal submission, to make the final assessment of price reasonableness.

6.1.2 Price Data

Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All data relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price volume. Under no circumstances shall this data and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

6.1.3 Cost or Pricing Data Requirements

In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support a determination of price reasonableness. Data shall be provided in accordance with FAR 15.403-5. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient data available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror shall be required to submit additional cost or pricing data.

6.1.4 Price Realism

The Air Force may conduct a price realism analysis to measure an offeror’s understanding of the RFP requirements and to assess the inherent risk in an offeror’s quoted price. Unrealistically low-priced proposals may be grounds for elimination from the competition.

6.1.5 Rounding

All dollar amounts/labor rates shall be rounded to the nearest 2-decimal accounting format to prevent total price discrepancies due to rounding. Offerors shall check each cell to ensure that values entered contain two decimal places.

6.2 Volume Organization

The Price volume shall consist of the following:

Section J, Attachment 8, Table B-1, Sample Task Order (STO) (Tab 1).

Table B-1 was designed for offeror’s use when submitting pricing. This table will be used by the Price Evaluation Team during the source selection process. Follow the instructions listed in the tab titled “Instructions”. Offerors must complete the table as designed. Any attempt to reformat or remove cells is unauthorized and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. The submission of information needs to be complete and accurate. Incomplete pricing may result in an offeror’s proposal being deemed unawardable. (Note: All yellow highlighted cells in Attachment 8, STO must be completed by the Offeror. Any yellow highlighted cells left blank will result in the proposal being determined unawardable.)

6.2.1 Table B-1, offerors are to complete the following in the “STO Requirements” Tab of Table B-1:

https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR15.DOC#b154031 https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR15.DOC#b154033 https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR15.DOC#b154035 https://cs.eis.af.mil/airforcecontracting/knowledge_center/Documents/AFFARS_Library/5315/templates/AppData/Local/Microsoft/Windows/Temporary%20Internet%20Files/AFAC%20Working%20Folders%20--%20PM/far/FAR15.DOC#b154031

Labor category pricing: The STO will be used to evaluate pricing for a 520 hour (13 week) requirement. Review each labor category, by base, in Table B-1 and provide the fully burdened hourly rate in Column E for the number of billable duty hours in Column D; provide the fully burdened hourly overage rate in Column G for the number of billable overage hours in Column F; and provide the fully burdened hourly on-call rate in Column I for the number of billable on-call hours in Column H. As a reminder, the fully burdened hourly rate, as defined in Section C 11.21, is the bill rate covering direct labor, indirect costs (e.g., overhead, travel, per diem, lodging, rental car, General and Administrative expenses, and fringe benefits), and profit. Offerors should also pay close attention to column L. In instances where positions may require fills in less than 30 days, vendors may receive a separate fixed price lump sum for expedited submission of credential documentation that will be required 10 days after task order award.

Offerors should input this separate fixed price lump sum in the yellow highlighted cells in column L. This separate fixed price lump sum will be used on all future task orders awards that require expedited submission of credentials documentation. The offerors are cautioned to follow the instructions listed in the instruction worksheet to complete this portion of Table B-1 correctly.

6.3 Other Information

6.3.1 Financial Responsibility

All potential offerors must be found responsible in accordance with FAR part 9.

6.3.2 Exceptions/Assumptions and Rationale
