5. Consent Letters executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information. **Excluded from page limit for Volume 2

L.2.2.2.2 Past and Present Performance Information Sheets. Submit information on contracts considered most recent (within the last three years) and relevant (see paragraph L.2.2.2.6) in demonstrating the ability to perform the proposed effort. The offeror shall submit a maximum of five (5) and a minimum of three (3) Performance Information Sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial, for each prime, and a maximum of five (5) and a minimum of one (1) Past Performance Information Sheet for each major subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture (”major” is defined as those subcontractors, teaming partners, or joint ventures who are projected to perform 25% or more of the total contract effort). Each ballistic raw material supplier shall also be considered a major subcontractor. The Government defines “recent” as contracts that have been performed during the past three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Performance Information Sheets for each contract is limited to five (5) pages (does not include organizational history, SF 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts, and SF 295, Summary Subcontract Report, or audit data). Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use the information provided by each offeror in this volume and information obtained from other sources for the overall evaluation of past and present performance. The Government requests the offeror provide references including current POCs for each contract identified. Contact information for each POC and reference shall include both a phone number and email address.

L.2.2.2.3 Offerors shall submit information on contracts that are considered relevant in demonstrating the ability to perform the proposed overall effort in the information sheets. Information sheets shall include specific information for each effort regarding experience IAW the following areas outlined below. NOTE: If the experience in the following areas was not required under the referenced contract, the offeror shall also indicate that it was not applicable or relevant on the Information Sheet. Offerors should clearly show:

a. Management of the major functional requirements as outlined under the Performance Specification, specifically the ability to produce ballistic protection items.

b. Provide a brief narrative for each contract or subcontract listed. Explain the nature of the work involved and the extent the work involved was/is similar to the SPEAR Soft Armor Ballistic Inserts effort in terms of technical requirements, operations, contract scope, schedule, and risk.

d. Provide an explanation of any technical issue(s) for each contract that resulted in ballistic test failure and/or production stoppage.

e. Provide a copy of any Government Stop Work, Cure, Show Cause, or Termination Notice.

L.2.2.2.4 Past Performance Questionnaires (See Section J). The offeror shall submit a maximum of 5 Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) to all Points of Contact (POC) for those contracts identified under L.2.2.2.2 for completion. The completed questionnaire shall be submitted directly via email from the POC to Kelly McNeill at kelly.mcneill@socom.mil, as specified in Attachment 4.

The offeror is responsible for distributing the questionnaires. Once PPQ’s are completed by your POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered source selection information and shall not be released.

L.2.2.2.5 Past Performance Information regarding Small Business Subcontracting. Offerors that are required to submit subcontracting plans IAW FAR 19.7 shall provide the following past performance information.

a. Provide one year history (within the past 12 months) demonstrating corporate commitment to meet subcontracting goals/targets by providing SF 294s and SF 295s, for those contracts/projects submitted under Past Performance. The SF 294s and SF 295s are excluded from the Volume 2 page count.

b. If goals were not met on the SF 294/295s, provide an explanation as to why the goals were not met.

L.2.2.2.6 Relevant Contracts. Relevancy will be determined based on contract references reflecting past and present performance over the past three years which is relevant to the following:

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 SPEAR Soft Armor Ballistic Inserts 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 SPEAR Soft Armor Ballistic Inserts program, (i.e., specific areas in the Performance Specification). If a subcontractor is a ballistic 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.

L.2.2.3 FACTOR 3 – PRICE (Volume 3) mailto:kelly.mcneill@socom.mil

The offeror shall complete Section B of the solicitation with all applicable pricing information for the entire 5 year ordering period. Offerors shall propose order quantities and unit pricing for the applicable Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) to maximize economies of scale.

The proposal shall include a completed and signed copy of the Standard Form (SF) 33 to include Sections A through K with appropriate “fill-ins” completed and each amendment, if applicable, either acknowledged (SF 33 block 14) or signed and returned.

L.2.3.1 Representations, Certifications, and other Statements of Offerors. The offeror shall provide completed representations, certifications, acknowledgments, and statements requiring explanation or instruction.

L.2.3.2 Exceptions to Solicitation Requirements. Proposals are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Proposals must clearly identify any exception to the solicitation terms and conditions and provide accompanying rationale. Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. 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 Performance Specification of the contract). Any apparent inconsistency between the promised performance and Price must be explained.

L.2.3.3 Prices for Technical Data The proposal shall provide an estimated price 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.

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.

b. Describe the strength and specificity of each corporate commitment (i.e., what type of commitment, how binding is the commitment, how specific is the commitment to this proposed effort, and what type of work will be included in these subcontracting opportunities from the overall corporate level).

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.

The NAICS code that is listed for the subcontractor must be listed in the subcontractor’s profile, i.e., System for Award Management (SAM), or documentation must be provided by the Small Business Administration if the subcontractor does not have a profile in the SAM.
