DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE

OFFICE: AFLCMC/LPSK ATTN: Gayle Little 3001 Staff Drive, STE 2AA2-103C Tinker AFB OK 73145-3001

Telephone: 405-734-6995 Email: gayle.little@us.af.mil

3.0. Factor 1 - Technical

Offeror shall provide current and valid copies of the following certifications for all proposed repair vendors:

1) Honeywell Authorized Service Center Certification for T53 engine series

2) ISO 9001:2000 or higher versions Certification

3) FAA Part 145 Certification

4.0 Factor 2 - Past Performance

4.1. General

4.1.1. Each offeror shall submit past performance information with its proposal, IAW the format contained in attachment 1.1 of the ITO. This information is requested on the offeror and any significant subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform the work outlined in the solicitation. Significant subcontractors and/or joint venture partners are defined as those parties performing more than 30% of a CLIN effort. 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.

4.1.2. 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.

4.2. Early Proposal Information

4.2.1. 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.

4.2.2. 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 gayle.little@us.af.mil.

mailto:gayle.little@us.af.mil

4.3. Relevant Contracts

4.3.1. Offerors shall submit information IAW Attachment 1.1: Request past performance information sheet (PPIS) forms 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 (those parties performing 30% or more of a CLIN effort) 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 T53-L-703 engine maintenance 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 T53 engine maintenance 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.

4.3.2. 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.

4.3.3. 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.

5.0 Factor 3 - Price

5.1. In the price volume, the offeror shall provide CLIN and any subCLIN unit prices via the T53 Appendix J, Pricing Matrix. These instructions are to assist you in submitting information required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed price.

Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal.

5.2. General Instructions

Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your 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 price volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

5.2.1. 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 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.

5.2.2 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.

5.2.3. Pricing Information Requirements

FAR 12.209 gives the requirement to establish price reasonableness IAW 13.106-3 (Simplified Acquisition Procedures), 14.408-2 (Sealed Bidding), or 15.4 (Contract Pricing by Negotiation), as applicable. IAW FAR 15.403-1(b), prices based on adequate price competition do not require submission of cost or pricing data. IAW 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.

5.2.4. Rounding

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

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.

6.1.1. Solicitation/Contract Form

Completion of blocks 12, 17 and signature and date for blocks 30a, 30b and 30c of the SF1449. Signature by the offeror on the SF1449 constitutes an offer, which the government may accept. The "original" copy should be clearly marked under separate cover and should be provided without any punched holes.

6.1.2. Supplies or Services and Prices

The offeror shall complete pricing information utilizing T53 Appendix J, Pricing Matrix of the model contract.

6.1.3. Contract Clauses

The offeror shall provide required information to complete clauses as required.

6.1.4. Representations, Certifications, and other Statements of Offerors The offeror has completed the annual representations and certification electronically via System Award Management (SAM) website at https://sam.gov. After reviewing the SAM database information, the offeror verifies by submission of this offer that the representation and certifications currently posted electronically at FAR 52.212-3, Offeror Representations and Certifications—Commercial Items are correct.

https://sam.gov/

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.
