ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. Purpose: This addendum to the solicitation tailors the terms and conditions contained in the provision at FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items, and provides additional instructions to offerors. Except as specified in this solicitation addendum, the offeror shall submit all data and information required by the provision at FAR 52.212-1 and this addendum. Non-conformance with the instructions provided herein or in any other part of the solicitation may result in elimination of the offeror from consideration for award.

a. Tailoring of 52.212-1: FAR 52.212-1(e), Multiple Offers, is hereby deleted from this solicitation. That paragraph is marked as RESERVED.

b. Proposal Detail: The proposal shall be clear and concise, and it shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and substantiation of the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall 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 the offeror's facilities and/or experience, and the Government will base its evaluation on the information presented in the submitted proposal.

c. Embellishments Not Desired: Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and not desired.

d. Offer Acceptance and Validity Dates: Concerning FAR 52.212-1(c) of the provision regarding the period during which the offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm is hereby amended to read '180 days' instead of '30 days.' The offeror shall make a clear statement in the Price & Offer Documentation Volume (Volume II) that the offer is valid for 180 days after the date for receipt of offers specified in Block 8 of the solicitation cover sheet, Standard Form (SF) 1449.

e. Disposition of Offers: In accordance with (IAW) FAR 4.803(a)(10), Contents of Contract Files, the Government will retain one paper copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

f. Systems: The Government will access any systems as required by law and/or regulation (e.g. System for Award Management (SAM), etc.) to aid in the determination of Responsibility.

2. Contacts, Correspondence, and Communications

a. Point of Contact: Questions or concerns should be addressed to the Contracting Officer (CO) through the point of contact (POC). The POC for this acquisition is Mr. Joaquin Perez, as identified in Block 9 of

Therefore, if this subject line is not included, the email may not pass through the email filters. Also, be advised that .zip or .exe files are not allowable attachments and may be deleted by the email filters at WPAFB.

b. Discrepancies: Proposals must conform to all of the requirements of the solicitation.

Excel spreadsheets - Set "Save as type" to "Excel Workbook (*.xlsx)."

PowerPoint presentations - Set "Save as type" to "PowerPoint Presentation (*.pptx)."

Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity.

4. Evaluation Factors and Offer Volume Content

i. Specificity and Completeness: The Technical Acceptability Volume (Volume I) shall be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important.

All requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. Except as provided for in paragraph 2(c) and paragraph 4(b)(vi) of these instructions, by submission of a proposal, the offeror is representing that the offeror shall perform all requirements specified in the solicitation.

It is not necessary or desirable to repeat that fact within the proposal. The offeror shall NOT merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

ii. Organization: Volume I shall include a table of contents to include a list of tables, figures, and drawings, as applicable. The Technical Acceptability Volume shall also include a glossary if it will enhance the Government's ability to understand the proposal and facilitate its evaluation.

iii. Content: See sub-factors 1-3 below.

Technical Sub-factor 1 - Transition Planning

The offeror shall submit a Transition Plan that addresses the offeror's proposed approach to staffing, management, equipment, supplies, and security considerations. The offeror's Transition Plan shall address the following:

A plan for ensuring that personnel have the required clearance, as outlined in the DD Form 254, Attachment 3 to the solicitation, at the beginning of the period(s) of performance. See Schedule of SF1449 for Period of Performance.

Processes for controlling/managing/dispatching personnel.

Procedures to provide appropriate mix of skilled employees to assume responsibilities for all contract functions for a successful transition from the incumbent performing this work.

Technical Sub-factor 2 - Staffing Approach

The offeror shall submit an organizational chart which illustrates a clear understanding of the manning requirements necessary for each of the LSS functional areas (Materiel Management and TA/AGE Maintenance). The offeror's organizational chart shall include:

The number of personnel required to perform each part of the requirements.

The proposed organization to convey the structure, staffing, and key aspects of the offeror's management methodology over the life of the contract.

Any cross-utilization between personnel assigned to each function.

The offeror shall also submit a detailed narrative to describe the staffing approach illustrated in the organizational chart described above. The narrative shall include:

The minimum qualification requirement for each person that will perform the functions found in the PWS. Note the required qualifications must meet the qualifications required for certain personnel, as detailed in PWS paragraph 1.3.5, at the time of anticipated award. Also note that the Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) in Attachments 4 and 5 to the solicitation will be applicable to a contract that might result from this solicitation and establish certain position titles.

Provide information for recruiting and retaining qualified personnel capable of meeting the requirements of this solicitation.

Technical Sub-factor 3: Prior Experience

Offerors shall provide evidence of current or recent experience in performing the services, either from a current contract or one performed within five years from the date of this solicitation release, that are similar in scope and magnitude to the services described in the PWS. This narrative shall include detail of services recently being performed (within five (5) years of the solicitation issue date) by the offeror as a prime contractor or a subcontractor on a Government contract. Contract numbers, issuing departments/agencies, and contract award dates shall be included.

If a subcontractor/partnership agreement is proposed, the prime contractor will provide a written narrative specifying the proposed work and prior experience for each subcontractor that is similar in scope and magnitude to the services described in the PWS. This narrative shall include detail of services recently being performed, or that have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issue date, by the subcontractor as a prime contractor or a subcontractor on a Government contract. Contract numbers, issuing departments/agencies, and contract award dates shall be included.

b. Volume II - Price and Offer Documentation: In the Price and Offer Documentation volume (Volume II), the offeror shall:

i. General Instructions. These instructions are to assist you in submitting information for the price proposal. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of the proposal. Data or information submitted in the Price Volume shall be information essential to document or support the price position. Data beyond what is required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless the Offeror considers it essential to document or support its price position.

No pricing data or information shall be included in any other volume, including cover letters, unless specifically requested by the Government in the respective volume. If price information is included elsewhere in the documentation, the proposal may be deemed unacceptable and the proposal may not be evaluated. The Offeror shall comply with the intent of the pricing instructions in supplying information that is current, timely, and in full support of the proposal.

ii. Pricing Data Requirements. The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), information other than cost or pricing data may be required to support price reasonableness. Information shall be provided IAW FAR 15.403-5. 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.

iii. The offeror shall submit the completed Pricing Matrix (Attachment 7) to the solicitation) as part of Volume II.

To complete the Pricing Matrix, offeror shall fill in all green highlighted cells with proposed prices by

CLIN for each period of performance.

Input all prices in United States Currency (USD) using only whole dollar amounts (in order to avoid potential rounding issues).

This Pricing Matrix will calculate the total proposed price for the Base and each Option Year based on offeror inputs, and totals by year will appear in row 20.

A six (6) month Extension of Services (EOS) will be calculated in column G as outlined in Addendum 2 to the solicitation (Evaluation Factors).

The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) that the Government will use in its evaluation of the offer will be calculated based on the sum of the totals of the Base Year, all Option Years, and the calculated EOS.

The TEP will appear in cell I20.

Only green highlighted cells are unlocked for data entry by the offeror. No rows, columns, or cells may be added or deleted.

Note: The calculation of the EOS is for evaluation purposes only and is not 1) an indicator of the anticipated pricing or timing of any exercise of the clause at FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, or 2) an indicator as to whether the Government will choose to exercise that clause during the performance of any contract awarded based on this solicitation. Refer to the language of the clause at FAR 52.217-8 for full details regarding this option.

These instructions are included on the Pricing Matrix spreadsheet for reference.
