ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO RESPONDENTS FOR PROPOSAL PREPARATION USING LOWEST PRICED TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) SOURCE SELECTION PROCEDURES.

1.0 Program Structure and Objective

1.1. The Government plans to award a multiple award contract for Block 45 Production Group A Kit acquisition. Block 45 will primarily consist of the development, fabrication, packaging and management to deliver up to 377 Block 45 Group A Production Kits. This work is required to support the installation of the Block 45 modification on C/KC-135 aircraft.

1.2. Budget/Funding Information

Funding will be obligated for the Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for the Physical Configuration Audit Kit and Production Kits.

2.1 General Instructions

2.1.1. This source selection will utilize Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection procedures. This section of the Instructions to Offerors (ITO) provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by the ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Any offeror who submits an incomplete package may be considered ineligible for award. The offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Statement of Work (SOW). Non-conformance with the instructions provided in the ITO may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

2.1.2. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims.

2.1.3. Elaborate brochures, documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

2.1.4. The proposal acceptance period is specified on the front page of the solicitation. The offeror shall make a clear statement that the proposal is valid until this date.

2.1.5. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies.

2.2. General Information

2.2.1. Point of Contact

2.2.2. 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 accordance with FAR 15.503. 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.

2.2.3. 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 discussions. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

2.2.4. Electronic Reference Documents

All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) web site at http://www.fbo.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

2.2.5. Amendments to Solicitation

If this RFP is amended, all terms and conditions that are not amended remain unchanged and in full force and effect. Offerors shall acknowledge receipt of any amendment and provide confirmation upon submission of the offeror’s proposal. Any unacknowledged amendments in the offeror’s proposal are subject to solicitation provision FAR 52.212-1(f).

2.2.6. Submission, Modification, Revision, and Withdrawal of Proposals Proposals and modifications to proposals shall be submitted in sealed envelopes or packages in paper media and electronic media addressed to the CO at the address shown in Section A of the model contract/solicitation, and showing the time and date specified for receipt, the solicitation number, and the name and address of the offeror.

The electronic copies of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Word 2010, MS Excel 2010, MS-Project 2010, and MS-Power Point 2010.

2.6. Pricing Information

All pricing information shall be addressed ONLY in the Price Proposal and Contract Documentation volumes.

2.7. Distribution

The "original" proposal shall be clearly identified. Proposals shall be addressed to the Contracting Officer and emailed (preferred) or mailed to:

DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

OFFICE: AFLCMC/WKDK ATTN: Misti DeShields

3.0. Factor 1 - Technical

A formal technical proposal or volume is not required. Offerors shall propose in accordance with requirements in the Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs Section of the RFP - SOW, Delivery, Contract Data Requirements List (CDRLs), and all attachments herein. Your proposal will be evaluated in accordance with Addendum to FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation Factors for Award, of the solicitation. All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your proposal submission you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation.

4.0 Factor 2 - Price

4.1. In the price volume, the offeror shall provide the following information in addition to the pricing in Supplies or Services and Prices/Cost Section (Part B) of the solicitation. These instructions are to assist you in submitting information required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed cost/price. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal.

4.2. General Instructions

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

4.2.1. Price Reasonableness and Balance

Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated for reasonableness and balance. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the offeror. Normally, price reasonableness is established through adequate price competition, but may also be determined through proposal analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404-1. Completeness of proposed pricing is an aspect of price reasonableness. Additionally, unbalanced pricing may pose an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal.

4.2.2 Price Realism

Proposed pricing must demonstrate adequate understanding of the requirement and that the proposed pricing does not pose a risk to performance. Proposed pricing shall be realistic for the work required. Proposed pricing must be consistent with the proposed approach and show an understanding of the requirement, including program complexity.

4.2.3. Pricing Information Requirements

FAR 12.209 gives the requirement to establish price reasonableness in accordance with 13.106-3 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures), 14.408-2 (Sealed Bidding), or 15.4 (Contract Pricing by Negotiation), as applicable. FAR part 15 applies. In accordance with FAR 15.403-3-1(b), prices based on adequate price competition do not require submission of cost or pricing data. In accordance with FAR 15.403-3(a), however, information other than cost or pricing data may be required to support price reasonableness. FAR 15.403-3(a)(1) provides for obtaining information other than cost or pricing data if needed to determine price reasonableness. Therefore, the FAR does not preclude the requirement for obtaining other than cost or pricing data under certain circumstances and the Government reserves the right to obtain data as appropriate. Should the CO determine proposed prices to appear unreasonable or the possibility that an offeror does not fully understand the requirement, the offerors may be required to support price reasonableness via other than cost or pricing data. If, after receipt of proposals, the CO determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror shall be required to submit cost or pricing data.

4.2.4. Rounding

All dollar amounts except line totals shall be rounded to the nearest penny.

5.0 Factor 3 - Past Performance

5.1. General

5.1.1. Each offeror shall submit past performance information with its proposal, in accordance with the format contained in Attachment 1.1 of the ITO. This information is requested on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform the work outlined in the solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

5.1.2. Along with the information required in this paragraph, the offeror shall submit a consent letter (Attachment 1.4) 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. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter (Attachment 1.5) authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance.

5.2. Early Proposal Information

5.2.1. Each offeror is requested to submit past performance information for each relevant contract fifteen (15) calendar days prior to the solicitation closing date. Failure to submit early proposal information will not result in offeror disqualification.

5.2.2. As soon as practicable, offerors shall complete Section 1 of the attached Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 1.2) and e-mail it and the Performance Questionnaire Letter (Attachment 1.3) to all points of contacts (POCs) the offeror has listed in the Past Performance Information Sheets (Attachment 1.1). The POCs will complete the questionnaires and forward them via email, directly to misti.deshields.1@us.af.mil

5.3. Relevant Contracts

5.3.1. Submit information in accordance with Attachment 1.1: Request Past Performance Information on up to three (3) recent contracts you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. Also include information on up to three (3) recent contracts performed by each of your teaming partners and significant subcontractors you consider most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Please only submit information on subcontractors and teaming partners performing key or critical portions of the production group A kit effort. There is no limit on the number of PPIS forms allowed per team; however, offerors are requested to limit responses to those efforts necessary for evaluation and relevant to the production Group A kit effort. Offeror shall include rationale supporting the assertion of relevance. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining recency and relevancy, see Addendum to 52.212-2.

5.3.2. Specific Content

Offerors shall provide a narrative explaining 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 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 shall clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions, in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an Offeror has overcome past problems is required.

5.3.3. 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 the 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, offeror’s shall include a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of the offeror’s 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), the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts identified, yet general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

6.0. Contract Documentation

6.1. Model Contract/Representations and Certifications

The purpose of this volume is to provide information to the Government for preparing the contract document and supporting file. The offeror's proposal shall include a signed copy of the Model Contract, and Sections A through K.

6.2. Exceptions to Solicitation Requirements

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors. 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. Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. Provide rationale in support of the exception and fully explain its impact, if any, on the performance, schedule, cost, and specific requirements of the solicitation.

SUBCONTRACTOR/TEAMING PARTNER CONSENT FORM FOR THE RELEASE OF PAST AND PRESENT PERFORMANCE INFORMATION TO THE PRIME CONTRACTOR

Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor’s or teaming partner’s consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government’s Past Performance Evaluation Team (PPET) in assessing your past performance relevancy and confidence, we request the following consent form be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal.
