This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content for preparing proposals for the AFNWC VTC Maintenance and Transition Support Services IDIQ.

Each offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by these instructions, must be submitted in accordance with these instructions, and each offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal at the time of proposal submission may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the offeror from further consideration for award.

It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should 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. Proposals that simply reiterate the contents of this solicitation, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the offeror’s claims are essential. 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.

Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an offeror possesses any capabilities not specified.

Inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal shall be explained. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the offeror’s understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. Offerors are advised that their proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and most complete responses to this solicitation.

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, at the completion of this acquisition the Government will destroy all extra copies of proposals and additional documents submitted.

This IDIQ RFP includes two (2) task orders, one if which is the minimum requirement of the Government. Offerors shall submit a technical volume, past performance volume, and price volume for the IDIQ and a technical response, and price response for each task order.

8.1. General Instructions. This section is to assist you in submitting the price proposal that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and of your proposed price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal.

8.1.1. IDIQ Labor Categories + Fully Burden Rates. Offerors must submit fully burdened Firm Fixed Price hourly SCLS labor rates, including wages, indirect costs and profit for all SCLS labor categories proposed in the Technical Volume by the Contractor for the IDIQ contract. The offeror may propose fully burdened labor rates on a yearly basis for a total of 5 years under the IDIQ. Offerors shall submit FFP fully burdened labor rates on the attached Pricing Worksheet.

8.1.2. Task Order 1 Price Proposal. Pricing for this task order must be based on the offerors own technical proposal, the Government's equipment specifications, and the requirements within the Performance Work Statement. For Task Order 1, the offeror must submit firm fixed pricing for the base year + all option years on the attached Pricing Worksheet. Offerors shall submit their FFP proposal utilizing the fully burdened SCLS labor rates and SCLS labor categories identified in the proposed IDIQ price proposal.

Currently, the Government has identified for all offerors a NTE CLIN and amount for reactive equipment replacement. This NTE amount is based on historical data related to failed equipment parts across the last 5 years. The contractor shall utilize this FFP NTE CLIN for all reactive equipment replacement or follow the procedures of DFARS 252.217-7-28 Over and Above actions as identified in the clause and Performance Work Statement.

8.1.3. Task Order 2 Price Proposal. Pricing for this task order must be based on the offerors own technical proposal, the Government's equipment specifications, and the requirements within the Performance Work Statement. Offerors shall submit their FFP proposal utilizing the fully burdened SCLS labor rates and SCLS labor categories identified by the IDIQ price proposal.

Offerors shall submit their FFP proposal on the attached Pricing Worksheet.

8.2. Price Reasonableness. For the IDIQ labor rates and the Task Order pricing, the offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated to ensure it is fair and reasonable pursuant to FAR 15.404. For a price to be reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness.

8.3. Unbalanced Pricing. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price the price of one or more line items is significantly over or understated indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. Unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests with the offeror.

8.3. Adequate Price Competition. The CO has determined that there is a high probability for adequate price competition for this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will re-assess this determination and if adequate price competition still exists, no additional data will be required. However, if at any time the CO determines that adequate price competition does not exist, offerors may be required to submit supplemental other than certified cost/price data to the extent necessary for the CO to determine that proposed prices are fair and reasonable. If in the event additional other than certified cost/price data is required, it is imperative that offerors provide sufficient detail and supporting rationale to demonstrate reasonableness. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed prices rests solely with the offeror.

8.4. New Mexico Gross Receipts Tax (NMGRT). NMGRT may be applicable to the proposed effort. For assistance in determining the extent to which NMGRT may apply and applicable rates, contact the New Mexico Taxation and Revenue Department, 5301 Central Ave., NE, PO Box 8485, Albuquerque NM 87198, (505)841-6200, http://www.tax.newmexico.gov/Businesses/gross-receipts.aspx.

8.6. Subcontractors. Each offeror shall identify all proposed subcontractors. In accordance with FAR 15.4043(b), the prime contractor or subcontractor shall: (1) Conduct appropriate cost or price analyses to establish the reasonableness of proposed subcontract costs/prices; and (2) Include the results of these analyses in the cost/price proposal.

8.8. Option to Extend Services (Task Order 1): The evaluation of Task Order 1 shall include all options plus the amount calculated for option(s) under FAR 52.217-8 addressed below. The Government will include FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Offerors shall not provide additional pricing for these 6 months. For evaluation purposes only, the option under FAR 52.217-8 will be evaluated by dividing the total proposed price for Option Year IV by two (2) to represent the six (6) months additional performance under the clause upon execution of FAR 52.217-8 if needed.

8.9. Other data. Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your price position. All data relating to the http://www.tax.newmexico.gov/Businesses/gross-receipts.aspx proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume.
