OPR for content: ASC/PK In compliance with Dr. Carter's memoranda, the team should consider use of an FPIF contract but should only opt to use an FPIF contract if the acquisition situation warrants use of this contract type. Dr Carter’s November 3, 2010 Policy on “Better Buying Power” provides the following guidance: “Increase the use of Fixed-Price Incentive Firm Target (FPIF) contract type where appropriate using a 50/50 share line and 120 percent ceiling as a point of departure…particularly for efforts moving from development to production…A justification for the contract type is needed for each contract over $100 million for ACAT ID programs. Describe the geometry of the contract type, e.g. target cost, target fee, min/max fees, share ratios, ceiling prices as applicable for the contract . See FAR Part 16 for additional guidance.

Have you considered breakout of subsystems?

If you are planning on an Advance Procurement or a UCA--may required SAF/AQC approval As appropriate address Shutdown costs (“tail-up” costs). How will program disposition property and close down the production line? Should also be considered as part of the Life Cycle Cost estimate.

Will you need Buy America and Berry Amendment waivers?

Additional issues to address as it applies to your program—Contract Financing, Progress Payments, Commercial financing, audit impacts (rates and schedules (include number of subcontract audits needed), long lead, and any special terms and conditions for DMS, DCS and shutdown costs.

Address Termination Liability, as appropriate.

Effective November 15, 2010, you will include the incentive strategy behind the profit policy, including consideration of breakout alternatives where appropriate, in all acquisition strategies for all ACAT ID programs. Adjust progress payments to incentivize performance and also flow-down provisions to subcontractors. OSD DPAP is working a cash flow model and also to provide guidance on the preferred hierarchy of innovative financing methods described in the model.

The right incentives can reduce challenges by focusing the contractor toward those areas you identify as critical.

Source Selection Schedule

Section L - Instructions to Offerors Offerors’ proposals must be submitted to PCO no later than 1500 (Eastern) on 9 April 2012

Past Performance volumes requested by 1500 (Eastern) on 26 March 2012

Five volumes Executive Summary Technical Proposal Past Performance Information Price Proposal Contract Documentation

Section M - Basis for Award

Evaluation Criteria Technical, Past Performance, Price All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are approximately equal in importance to price Technical Sub-factors Systems Engineering / Program Management Change Management Contractor Logistics Support Acceptable / Unacceptable A sub-factor that clearly meets minimum requirements and has been given either a low or moderate risk rating is considered acceptable

Section M - Basis for Award Past Performance Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings of SUBSTANTIAL CONFIDENCE, SATISFACTORY CONFIDENCE, LIMITED CONFIDENCE, NO CONFIDENCE, UNKNOWN CONFIDENCE (NEUTRAL) Recency Efforts cited shall be active or completed within 3 years of the solicitation issue date Relevancy Ratings of VERY RELEVANT, RELEVANT, SOMEWHAT RELEVANT, NOT RELEVANT Quality Ratings of EXCEPTIONAL, VERY GOOD, SATISFACTORY, MARGINAL, UNSATISFACTORY, NEUTRAL

Section M - Basis for Award Cost/Price Offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated based upon their Total Evaluated Price (TEP) TEP will be calculated by taking sum of all CLINs for all years, except as discussed below CR CLINs will not be included in TEP Some CLINs may be averaged

Evaluation Methodology Past Performance Evaluation Technical and Price Volume Evaluation Once an offeror is rated Technically Acceptable, or if Unacceptable but is deemed to have correction potential, it will be ranked according to price Past Performance Confidence Assessment Ratings will be determined beginning with the lowest price If lowest priced offeror is rated Technically Acceptable, and has Substantial Past Performance Confidence Assessment, this represents the best value to the Government and no trade-off will be made The Government intends to award without discussions

Additional Notes No aircraft components (GFAE equipment) on IATs Smaller modifications that are occurring on the current contract will be included in RFP package as appropriate at final RFP release (ex: Instructor Headset and Electronic Problem Log) Uninterrupted Power Supply will be included on Re-compete Support Package Software upgrade required from 20kva to 30kva at same time IAT #7 task order is issued The cost of UPS maintenance should be included in CLIN X003 Clarification on Big TAC License Agreement Annually maintenance agreements priced in contract IAT #7 and #8 will require their own license Only the IAT’s are networked together Suite 7 on the IATs; Suite 7 will be complete on the MTDs in Jun 2012 Additional drawings will be posted to FBO The DSD which is part of the TSSC maintains at least the same baseline configuration as the IAT fielded units Two (2) training databases used are SJAFB and Nellis AFB
