L.2.2.2.6.1 For the prime offerors, relevancy is defined as contracts that are most similar to this overall effort. Some of the factors in determining relevancy include: (1) Technical and (2) Program Management, the diversity of required expertise, scope of performance, magnitude, project complexity, security classification requirements, business management and control processes, contract type(s), number of employees required, special operations support, other DoD support, and some major functional areas as the FTHS Performance Specification, etc. The more the overall effort is similar in all areas, the more relevant it becomes.

L.2.2.2.6.2 For proposed subcontractors/teaming partners, relevancy is defined by that which reflects experience in the area of expertise the subcontractor is projected to actually perform under the FTHS program, (i.e., specific areas in the Performance Specification). If a subcontractor is a ballistic material supplier or non-ballistic impact material supplier and has supplied the same types of materials under a previous contract as either the prime or subcontractor, this would be considered very relevant.

L.2.2.2.6.3 When making the relevancy determination the definitions contained within Table 7 below will be utilized.

SECTION L - Table 7 RELEVANCY CRITERIA TABLE Very Relevant (VR)

Present/Past Performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant (R) Present/Past Performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant (SR) Present/Past Performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant (NR) Present/Past Performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Proposals must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide accompanying rationale.

Provide rationale in support of the exception and fully explain its impact, if any, on the performance, schedule, price and specific requirements of the solicitation.

The proposal shall be consistent across all volumes (i.e., the Price volume must be consistent with the Technical Volume and shall reflect the understanding and ability to perform according to the statement of work of the contract). Any apparent inconsistency between the promised performance and Price must be explained.

L.2.2.4.3 Prices for Technical Data The proposal shall provide an estimated cost for each report/data identified in the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL) even though they are not separately priced. The Department of Defense (DoD) requires estimates of data in order to evaluate the cost to the Government of data items in terms of their management, product, or engineering value in accordance with DFARS 215.470. Cost for each “not separately priced” data submission shall include a basis of estimate and be provided IAW 5652.215-9005 Estimated Prices for Data (2000) for evaluation purposes.

A subcontracting plan is required from all offerors other than small business concerns for proposals exceeding $700,000 which contain subcontracting opportunities. The plan shall be submitted with the initial proposal and will be concurrently negotiated. If a cost proposal is required by this solicitation, it must relate to, and substantiate, the submissions under FAR 52.219-9(d). The offeror's submission must provide sufficient information to support the Contracting Officer's review of the subcontracting plan to determine if it is acceptable (otherwise an offeror will be ineligible to receive the contract award).

a. Each offeror shall describe their corporate commitment in providing subcontracting opportunities for small business, small disadvantaged business, women-owned small business, HUBZone small business (no mandated minimum but should still be addressed), veteran-owned small business, and service disabled veteran-owned small business concerns.

c. Each offeror shall include a listing of their subcontractors (large and small). For Small Businesses, list the socio-economic category(ies) for each entity.

**Included in 5% L.2.3 PHASE III: Government Ballistic/Non-Ballistic Testing The offeror’s Phase I submission of ballistic helmet and non-ballistic helmet PDMs will be used for the testing of this Phase.
