(e) A draft Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that at a minimum graphically details the offeror’s timeline for contract milestones and significant tasks/activities as required by the PWS to demonstrate achievability of contract objectives and integrate program activities for the first year of contract performance. Assume a delivery rate of four aircraft per year. The draft IMS will not be included in the page count limitation for the Technical Proposal Volume. Include applicable tasks/activities for workload transition to include facility preparation, workforce training/certification, receipt of GFE, and other activities that must be accomplished prior to first aircraft induction. Include a notional aircraft induction/delivery schedule based on the best estimated quantities for FY18. For purposes of this proposal, discrete aircraft maintenance tasks need not be included in the IMS as the Government is interested in the overall induction and delivery schedule rather than the specific maintenance process. Offerors may assume that they have control over the induction schedule. Proposed flow-days shall take into account an appropriate learning curve and include flow days for completing over-and-above tasks and final aircraft checkout and Functional Check Flight.

4.3 Cross Reference Matrix

Cross Reference Matrix: The offeror shall fill out the following cross reference matrix indicating where in the proposal volume information can be found relating to Section L (Instructions to Offerors), and Section M (Evaluation Factors for Award) sub-factor elements. The cross reference matrix relates sub-factor elements to applicable PWS (including attachments) and CDRL requirements. The relation is not meant to be all inclusive, if the matrix conflicts with any other requirement, direction, or provision of this solicitation, the other reference shall take precedence over the matrix.

Section M references in the matrix are for informational purposes only. The Government is obligated to evaluate proposals solely in conformance with Section M of the solicitation. Note that Section M states that in the event that a submitted cross reference matrix is not complete, Volume II will not be considered for technical evaluation and the offeror may or may not be considered for award. The cross reference matrix will help an offeror ensure it has responded to all the evaluation criteria and technical requirements in the solicitation and will assist the Government in identifying where sub-factor element criteria is contained within proposals.

The following matrix shall be included with the Technical Volume and will not be counted as part of the page count:

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 Past Performance Information (PPI)

The offeror shall submit PPI sheets using Attachment 5, Past Performance Information Sheet, for up to three (3) recent and relevant contracts for the prime offeror that have occurred in past five years and up to two (2) recent and relevant contracts for each critical subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner considered most relevant in demonstrating an ability to perform the proposed effort. This information is required for the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposed to perform 30 percent or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price or perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance.

5.1.1 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 a limited or no confidence 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. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other also include the steps that will be taken to certify flight worthiness in accordance with applicable technical data and regulations to include First Article Testing requirements. The Technical Data Packages are available for reference in the Bidders Library. This shall include a clear and feasible approach to managing requirement definition and manufacturing capabilities for sub-tier vendor/suppliers wherever outside companies are employed for this task.
