Section L Instructions to Offerors

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

The Government plans to award a multiple award indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) contract utilizing Highest Technically Rated offerors (HTRO) Minimum Technical Threshold Rating (MTTR) approach. This contract is for general construction services to accomplish a broad range of sustainment, maintenance, repair, alteration/renovation, improvement of buildings, structures, highways and real property. This is a Highest Technically Rated Offerors (HTRO) with Minimum Technical Threshold Rating (MTTR) source selection and is conducted in accordance with Revolutionary FAR Overhaul (RFO) 15.2, as supplemented. The Government anticipates awarding two separate pools, one small business and one full and open. Any small business offeror who wishes to participate in both the small business and the full and open pool must provide a complete proposal for each pool.

1.1 Proposal Compliance. To ensure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, the Offeror's proposal shall include all data and information requested by these Instructions to Offerors and shall be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The proposal shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the solicitation for the Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Contract, and all other parts of this solicitation. Offerors must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide complete accompanying rationale. Non-conformance with the instructions provided may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation, or rejection of an Offeror’s proposal, rendering it ineligible for award.

1.2 Proposal Clarity. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of the claimed points on the Self-Scoring Matrix (Appendix C and/or D to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix). Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal. Offerors shall not submit elaborate brochures or documentation, detailed artwork, or other embellishments.

1.3 RFP Discrepancies/Ambiguities. If an Offeror believes that any portion of this solicitation contains a perceived error, omission, or is otherwise unclear, the Offeror shall immediately contact the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) and Contract Specialist via e-mail, clearly describing the portion of the solicitation in question and the impact the discrepancy or ambiguity has on the Offeror’s ability to prepare its proposal.

1.4 Point of Contact. The Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) is the sole Government point of contact for this acquisition. Offerors shall address any questions and concerns to the PCO. The Government is not obligated to answer any questions that are submitted after the deadline.

An 11 x 17 inch or A3 sized page, as authorized under this section, will count as one page.

1.9.3 Submission Format. Offerors are responsible for submitting proposals, and any modifications or revisions, so as to reach the PCO by 1600 Central Standard Time (CST) on 11 SEPTEMBER 2026. The Offeror shall submit each volume in electronic format via the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) Solicitation module, IAW the module instructions no later than the time and date identified in Block 13a of the SF 1442. Additional instructions regarding the use of the PIIE Solicitation module following this paragraph. The proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by MS Office Word, MS Office Excel, or Adobe PDF. Offerors shall clearly identify each volume. Document file names shall follow this naming convention: “MACC FA813726R0040” (Offeror name) Volume # Title.

In the PIEE Solicitation module, the Offeror must establish a “Proposal Manager account” in sufficient time to access documents and submit offerors. For instructions on how to post an offeror, please refer to the Posting Offer demo:

https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/sol/Posting_Offer.pdf. Offerors will utilize PIEE and will not rely on any other electronic transmission (including transmission by electronic e-mail). Proposals sent through proprietary or third-party File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites or DoD SAFE will not be retrieved. No hard copies of proposals will be accepted (hand delivered or traditional mail).

In the PIEE Solicitation module, Offerors are strongly encouraged to plan accordingly, submit proposals well in advance of the dedicated submission deadline, and ensure affirmative receipt of proposals. After successfully submitting the offer, a “success” message of the submission will be displayed in the Solicitation module and the offeror display will collapse. The “message of submission”, a red lined box, will be your confirmation and should state: “The offer was submitted on <date> <time/local time zone> (<date> </time/UTC>) by Proposal Manager.

Please print this page and maintain for your records.” It is the Offeror’s responsibility to retain a copy of this confirmation. The Solicitation module automatically tracks the date and time of all submissions. All proposals received after the exact time specified for receipt shall be treated as late submissions and will not be accepted by the Government, subject to provisions of RFO

15.107.

All referenced documents for this solicitation can be found on the PIEE Solicitation module at https://piee.eb.mil/. All Offerors can view solicitations in the Solicitation module by selecting “SOLICITATION SEARCH” in the Award section or “Solicitation Search” under the SUPPORT section at the bottom of the page. Search FA813726R0040 postings. The SAM.gov website will reference back to this module.

The Solicitation module is a vendor portal for solicitation within the PIEE platform to automate and secure the process for capturing solicitations, attachments, and responses from industry. The Solicitation module allows Offerors to retrieve and respond to solicitations and communicate directly with Solicitation Managers in a secure environment. Offerors must register in PIEE and

Section L Instructions to Offerors submit a request for the Proposal Manager role. Training resources are found below (there are additional resources available online as well).

It is the Offerors responsibility to be fully knowledgeable and capable regarding PIEE. Offerors must not rely on the Government to assist Offerors in understanding how to use PIEE to transmit proposals within PIEE. Offerors must familiarize themselves, far in advance of the proposal submission deadline, with the system: both for retrieving information and to enable them to submit their offers in a timely manner. Offerors are responsible for ensuring electronic copies are virus-free and shall run an anti-virus scan before submission. It is the offeror’s responsibility to plan far ahead of the proposal submission deadline, anticipating potential PIEE connectivity delays.

Proposals shall be submitted IAW the instructions herein.

Offerors are cautioned to strictly comply with all instructions within this solicitation to ensure submission of a complete proposal. Failure to furnish a complete proposal at the time of proposal submission may result in an unacceptable proposal that the Government eliminates from consideration for award. The Government will not accept any changes to an Offeror’ proposal(s) after the closing date of this solicitation (see RFO 15.107 for further information regarding late proposals). Any proposal information submitted after the time frame will be considered late and will not be accepted (see 52.215-1(c)(3)(ii)).

Please provide any feedback on the use of PIEE to the PCO 14 days prior to proposal submission.

1.10 Proposal Markings. Proposals shall be marked in accordance with RFO 52.215-1(e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, and RFO 3.104-4, Disclosure, Protection, and Marking of Contractor Bid or Proposal Information and Source Selection Information. Offerors shall not include proprietary markings on attachments and documents that will become a part of the contract.

1.11 Cross-Referencing. To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with no cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal.

Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume and/or section will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

1.12 Table of Contents. Each volume shall contain a detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. However, a table of contents incorporating the details of Work Sample pages already

Section L Instructions to Offerors outlined in Appendix E and/or Appendix F to Section L, Cross-Reference Matrix is not required. Tables of contents do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

1.13 Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms. Each volume shall contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, and with an explanation for each. Glossaries do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

1.14 Teaming Arrangements. Offerors submitting a proposal as the prime offeror in response to this solicitation are permitted to submit a separate proposal under which they would be a Subcontractor, or Joint Venture to another prime contractor. Subcontractors are permitted to support multiple prime contractors. The government only accepts proposals from the prime contractor.

Section L Instructions to Offerors

4.3 Work Samples

4.3.1 Work samples will be utilized to evaluate relevant construction experience (Section 1 of Appendix C to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix for Small Business Pool proposals and Appendix D to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix for Full and Open Pool proposals). The Offeror shall submit work samples (contracts/orders) which demonstrate technical experience across the four categories in Section 1.

A maximum of 10 total work samples can be submitted for Category 1, with at least one (1) work sample provided for each specified threshold. These work samples shall be used for subsequent categories. Only work samples that were provided for Category 1 will be reviewed for other categories in Section 1.

4.3.2 Future performance periods on an existing contract do not demonstrate technical experience and shall not be utilized as work samples, nor should they be factored into the total point value of a submitted sample.

4.3.3 An acceptable work sample is defined as either a non-IDIQ contract, or a task order under an IDIQ contract (RFO 16.501-1), on which the Offeror performed for at least six months, the project was awarded on or after 1 May 2021 and the project is at least 80% complete as of the date of the RFP. A Multiple Award IDIQ or a Single Award IDIQ contract by itself is not an acceptable work sample. An Offeror must use data in which the Offeror was Prime Contractor. Any number of Subcontractors may have been utilized to execute the project within a given work sample. Parent, affiliate, and subsidiary organizations as well as Joint Venture contracts may utilize data from any company within the organizational structure for work sample submissions as long as:

1) The company was performing as the Prime Contractor on the work sample,

2) The Offeror provides at least five (5) of the total work samples, AND

3) The requirements set forth in paragraph 3.4 are met.

4.3.4 The work samples shall consist of:

1) Work sample cover sheet (Appendix B to Section L, Work Sample Cover Sheet);

2) Official contract documentation including, but not limited to, Statement of Objectives, Statements of Work, Schedules, listing of trades, Subcontracts, Invoices, and Contract Standard Form (limited to Contract Sections A, B, C, F and H; showing front page and references, brief description of scope, overall price, and period of performance);

3) Company generated documentation when accompanied by a Statement of Facts signed by the cognizant Government Contracting Officer or COR to confirm missing information, should contractual documents not carry all of the information necessary to substantiate the Offeror's scores; Offerors need not supply a Statement of Fact if the company generated documentation adequately substantiates the Offeror’s claimed points. Offerors may choose to use a Statement of Facts for any category in order to substantiate claimed points;

AND

4) The signed cover page associated with the contract or order. Work samples shall

Section L Instructions to Offerors include sufficient information to substantiate all points claimed on the Self-Score Matrix (Appendix C to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix for Small Business Pool proposals and Appendix D to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix for Full and Open Pool proposals).

4.3.5 Work samples shall be provided in their original format. Offerors shall assign each work sample an identifier (e.g., WS1-WS10). All pages of all work samples shall be numbered. The original pagination of each document shall be retained. If the original documentation within a work sample is not numbered, Offerors shall add page numbers. Font, text size, and margin requirements established in sections 1.9 do not apply to work sample submissions. Work samples shall be in English. If more than one document is provided as part of a work sample, the documents shall be combined as one file and numbered accordingly. Offerors shall include all documentation for a given work sample in a single PDF file and add to each page a unique WS identifier and page number in the margin (e.g. WS2 pg1). This will ensure that Government evaluators, with the aid of the Cross Reference Matrix (Appendix E to Section L, Cross Reference Matrix for Small Business Pool proposals and Appendix F to Section L, Cross Reference Matrix for Full and Open Pool proposals), can find all documentation quickly and efficiently, and limit confusion due to multiple page numbers (page 1 of an SF33, page 1 of the SOW, etc.).

4.3.6 The Government understands the need to protect personally identifiable information (PII).

Offerors may redact PII from substantiating documents. If the Offeror redacts PII, they shall include an employee identifier such as WS1E3 (e.g. Work Sample One, Employee 3).

4.4 Self-Scoring Matrix. The Offeror shall complete Appendix C to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix for

Small Business Pool proposals and Appendix D to Section L, Self-Scoring Matrix for Full and Open Pool proposals. Offerors shall enter their scores in Column C, Offeror’s Self Score, as whole numbers, “Yes,” or “No.” Do not enter formulas in Column C. Column E, Total Across, and Rows 32, 72, 83, 120 and 121 (Attachment 3c) or Rows 31, 71, 90, 127 and 128 (Attachment 3d) will auto-calculate.

Offerors SHALL NOT alter the formulas in the spreadsheet. If errors are discovered in the spreadsheet, the Offeror shall contact the Contracting Officer. Self- rated scores shall be verifiable using their associated work samples.

4.5 Cross-Reference Matrix.

4.5.1 Offerors shall enter information that links their self-scores to the substantiating information included in their proposal in Appendix E to Section L, Cross-Reference Matrix for Small Business Pool proposals and Appendix F to Section L, Cross-Reference Matrix for Full and Open Pool proposal. A Cross-Reference Matrix is required for each self-scoring matrix. If an offeror wishes to compete for both the Small Business and the Full and Open Pool, they must provide a complete proposal package for both the Small Business and the Full and Open Pool.

The Offeror must submit a separate Self-Scoring Matrix for both the Small Business and the Full and Open pool, and a corresponding Cross- Reference Matrix is for each Self-Scoring Matrix. The Cross- Reference Matrix includes a sample response in row 7 demonstrating which information should be included in which column. Offerors should add rows as necessary for

Section L Instructions to Offerors each work sample. The Offeror shall use Column C, Offeror’s Self Score, to list its final raw score for each section. The Government has included a list of sample documents within the Note in Cell D7; the Offeror is not limited to this list of documents. The Offeror shall include a work sample identifier (e.g., WS1-WS14) within Column E. The Offeror shall identify the type of document provided as a work sample and shall include document title, page(s), paragraph(s), table number(s) (if applicable), and block(s) (if applicable) within Column F as concisely as possible. The Offerors shall identify the contact information for the relevant Government POC in Column G, if necessary. The Offeror may add rows within a single category if more than one work sample is referenced. Multiple references may be included in a single row if:

1) Multiple references related to the same work sample are necessary to substantiate the Offeror’s claimed points;

OR

2) The Offeror uses the data of a subsidiary or legal entity as a prime contractor work sample. If the Offeror uses the data of a subsidiary or legal entity as a prime contractor work sample, the Offeror shall include a reference to the objective evidence which demonstrates that it is a legal entity of the parent corporation.

4.5.2. Offerors are encouraged to verify the accuracy of each reference.

4.5.3. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of its capabilities and experience. Therefore, the Offeror shall include in Column I any clarifying facts necessary to improve the Government’s understanding and further substantiate the Offeror’s claimed points.
