XIV. SECTION M

A. SECTION M.3.2

FROM:

Depending on the discrepancy(ies), the discrepancy(ies) will be treated as clarifications or the Government will enter into discussions. If the Government enters into discussions, each Offeror in the Top 40 will receive the same opportunity to address the Government’s request(s) to be eligible for contract award.

TO:

Discrepancies in documents on Attachment J.2 (Proposal Checklist) and the proposal DVD+Rs as well as those in naming will be treated as clarifications.

FROM:

The Offeror will not be allowed to resubmit or revise any document(s) related to the Relevant Experience Projects or any scored elements to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions, materially alter scored elements of the proposal, and/or otherwise revise scored elements of the proposal.

TO:

The Offeror will not be allowed to resubmit or revise any document(s) related to the Relevant Experience Projects or any scored elements to cure proposal deficiencies or material omissions, materially alter scored elements of the proposal, and/or otherwise revise scored elements of the proposal. If the Government enters into discussions, each Offeror in the Top 40 will receive the same opportunity to address the Government’s request(s) to be eligible for contract award.

FROM:

Once the Top 40 have been evaluated and validated, the Government will then check to verify that these Offerors have proposed fair and reasonable pricing. In the event that an Offeror has not provided fair and reasonable pricing, the Offeror shall be eliminated from further consideration for award unless discussions are conducted. However, the HCaTS CO plans on basing award on initial proposals and does not intend to conduct discussions as stated in Section M.2.

TO:

Once the Top 40 have been evaluated and validated, the Government will then check to verify that these Offerors have proposed fair and reasonable pricing. Offerors in the Top 40 that have labor rates that cannot be determined to be fair and reasonable, may be given the opportunity to propose new labor rates or justify the identified out of range labor rates. This will be restricted to the labor rates that the Contracting Officer identified as not fair and reasonable. If the Government conducts exchanges during the fair and reasonable pricing determination, each Offeror in the Top 40 will receive the same opportunity to address the Government’s request(s) to be eligible for contract award. In the event that an Offeror has not provided fair and reasonable pricing, the Offeror shall be eliminated from further consideration for award.

B. SECTION M.4.1

FROM:

SAM website entity record, Section K, Insurance, Contractor Key Personnel Commitment Letters, and Attachment J.4 (Pool Application and Certification) will be evaluated on a pass/fail basis.

TO:

C. SECTION M.5

Offerors that meet the minimum requirements review in accordance with Section M.4 will be evaluated for points in accordance with Section L.5 and Section M.6.

TO:

The Government will validate all scored elements and will make deductions to the Offeror’s self score for all elements that are not validated or validates as a lower point value. The Government will not increase an Offeror’s self score.

D. SECTION M.5.2

ADDED:

The Government will check for a CPARS/PPIRS Report for all Federal government Relevant Experience Projects. If a more current CPARS/PPIRS report is found, the Offeror’s Past Performance Rating will be adjusted using the most current CPARS/PPIRS Report. This may lead to the Offeror’s self score being reduced, but shall not result in an increase.

E. SECTION M.7

Price proposals may only be revised as a result of discussions and Offerors are advised that the Government intends to make award based on initial proposals without discussions. The Government may enter into discussions with Offerors eligible for award if any of the fully burdened ceiling rates fall outside of the acceptable range.

TO:

Price proposals may only be revised as a result of the Contracting Officer’s determination. The Government may contact Offerors eligible for award if any of the fully burdened ceiling rates fall outside of the acceptable range and allow the Offeror to propose rates that are within the acceptable range or provide justification solely on the labor rates that the Contracting Officer identified. It is within the Contracting Officer’s discretion to determine the acceptability of an Offeror’s justification. All Offerors in the Top 40 will be allowed the same opportunity to propose or justify labor rates that have been determined by the Contracting Officer as outside of the acceptable range.
