SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L

Section L

Addendum to 52.212-1 -- Instructions to Offerors -- Commercial Items (Jan 2017)

L.1 General Instructions to Offerors

L.1.1 This is an all-electronic solicitation release. No Government paper hard copies will be mailed. Amendments to the solicitation will be posted to www.fbo.gov. It is the responsibility of each offeror to review the webpage for notice of amendments, updates, or changes to current information. The exclusive responsibility for the source selection will re side with the Government. Proprietary information submitted in response to this solicitation will be protected from unauthorized disclosure as required by Subsection 27 of the Office of Procurement Policy Act as amended (41 U.S.C. 423) as implemented in the FAR. The proposal and corresponding program will be unclassified and treated as Source Selection Sensitive Information. Each offeror is limited to one proposed solution to the solicitation requirement.

L.1.2 All proposals must be complete, self-sufficient, and respond directly to the requirements of the solicitation. Any commitments made in the proposal shall become part of the resultant contract. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, raises a fundamental issue of the offeror’s understanding and/or ability to perform under a contract and may be a basis for rejection of the proposal. Mere parroting of the requirements of the solicitation is not acceptable and may be a basis for rejection of the proposal. In no case shall words like “we will comply with the requirements of the contract,” or equivalent statements, be acceptable to meet the requirements of this RFP. Failure to comply with these instructions may result in an offeror’s proposal being excluded from further consideration for award. Offerors shall submit with their proposal a list of names and telephone numbers of persons authorized to conduct negotiations.

L.1.3 Mailing Instructions. Proposals are due by 2:00 PM EST 27 August 2018. Hand delivering proposals is not permitted. Electronic proposals (CD-ROMs/DVDs) shall be mailed and clearly marked as follows:

L.1.4 The evaluation will consist of an evaluation of the GO/NO-GO Product Samples, Technical, Past Performance, and Price as outlined below. After completion of the evaluation, the Government may establish a competitive range and conduct discussions. The Government reserves the right for efficiency purposes to only include the most highly rated proposals in the competitive range. The Government may award a single five (5) year Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) type contract with Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Contract Line

Item Numbers (CLINs) or make multiple contract awards resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror(s) conforming to the solicitation. However, the Government may award a contract without discussions based on the initial offers received; therefore, each initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. Absent an immediate award without discussions, in accordance with FAR 15.306(c) a competitive range will be established to limit discussions to the number which will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated offerors. For efficiency purposes the competitive range may be further limited to the most highly rated proposals.

L.1.5 Volumes.

L.1.5.1 Written Proposal Volumes and Format. Format of the proposal volumes and any resulting responses to Evaluations Notices (ENs) will be provided in electronic format.

1. Technical Approach – Offerors shall provide responses to the performance specification and demonstrate how the solution intends to meet all requirements, identify areas of non-compliance and risk. These identified area shall be accompanied by an acceptable mitigation strategy which is able to manage and/or overcome the shortfalls to deliver a timely quality product. The Offeror may propose to the objective specifications and describe how the solution demonstrates its capabilities as advantageous to the Government. Proposals that merely restate RFP requirements without sufficient evidence to support the offeror’s ability to meet the requirements may receive a less than acceptable rating for that requirement.

2. Configuration Management Approach - The proposal shall include a Configuration

Management Plan. The offeror’s identification of high risk areas and solutions or mitigation strategies are clearly described by providing supporting documentation regarding proposed solutions/actions to avoid high risk areas/actions to minimize performance risk. The contractor’s ability to manage changes to the system configuration, document those changes and notify the USG will be evaluated.

3. Quality Assurance - The proposal shall include a Quality Assurance Plan (QAP).

The QAP will demonstrate the offeror’s ability to deliver a reliable product and how corrective action will be implemented during the production process to ensure that the product(s) will continue to meet contract requirements, comply with applicable regulations and meet environmental objectives throughout production life-cycle. The Quality Assurance Plan will detail all in-process inspections, Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs), actual sample audits from inspection of raw materials through packaging of the final product, copies of ISO 9001:2008 certifications (or equivalent Quality Management System); and significant partners or subcontractors shall provide ISO 9001:2008 certifications (or equivalent Quality Management System).

4. Delivery Schedule and Production Capability/Capacity - The Offeror shall complete RFP Section F FAR clause 52.211-9. The proposal shall thoroughly discuss and clearly demonstrate the offeror’s ability to meet the proposed delivery schedule and the impact facilities, equipment and personnel has on the desired, required and proposed delivery schedules. The proposal shall clearly demonstrate the offeror’s monthly capacity and clearly explain its ability to handle ASR production. The offeror shall discuss in detail the proposed warranty. The offeror’s submission of PS will be used along with the offeror’s written proposal demonstrating compliance with performance specification requirements.

L.2.3 VOLUME 2 - FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

L.2.3.1 Contents. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Proposal (Volume 2) containing the following:

1. Table of Contents

2. Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Information Sheets IAW paragraph L.2.3.2 below.

3. Past Performance Information Sheets, paragraph L.2.3.2 below.

4. 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.

L.2.3.2 Past and Present Performance Information Sheets. Submit information on contracts considered most recent (within the last three years) and relevant (see paragraph L.2.3.4) in demonstrating the ability to perform the proposed effort. The offeror shall submit a maximum of three (3) and a minimum of one (1) Performance Information Sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial, for each prime, and a maximum of three

(3) 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).

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 and any Organizational Structure Change History, SF 294, Subcontracting Report for Individual Contracts, 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 points of contact (POCs) for each contract identified. Contact information for each POC and reference shall include both a phone number and email address.

L.2.3.3 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:

1. 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 ASR effort in terms of technical requirements, operations, contract scope, schedule, and risk.

2. Demonstrate the ability to deliver production items IAW established delivery schedules.

3. Provide examples of reasonable and cooperative behavior with previous customers.

4. Describe times of commitment to customer satisfaction or customer service.

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

Notices.

L.2.3.4 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.2.3.4.1 For the prime offerors, relevancy is defined as contracts that are most similar to this overall effort. Relevant contracts that qualify are precision rifle sales to state and federal law enforcement and military customers to include foreign entities. Some of the factors in determining relevancy include but are not limited to: (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 weapons and suppressors, etc. The more the overall effort is similar in all areas, the more relevant it becomes.

L.2.3.4.2 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 weapons program, (i.e. specific areas in the Performance Specification).

L.2.3.4.3 When making the relevancy determination the definitions contained within Table L-2 below will be utilized.

Table L-2: Relevancy Criteria Table

Very Relevant (VR)

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

Relevant (R)

Past Performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant (SR)

Past Performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant (NR)

Past Performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

L.2.3.5 No Relevant Contracts. If an offeror does not have any recent/relevant contracts it must be clearly noted in the proposal as such.

L.2.4 VOLUME 3 - FACTOR 3 – PRICE

L.2.4.1 The offeror shall complete the pricing in the Schedule for all Contract Line Item Number

Structure CLINS considering pricing for economic order quantities (e.g., 1-99, 100 – 350, 351 – 5,500, etc.). Offerors shall propose range/stepladder order quantities and unit pricing for all CLINS and maximize economies of scale. Offerors shall provide pricing for the entire 5 year ordering period. The price volume shall describe all the elements that were used to develop the fully loaded rate.

L.2.4.2 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 estimated and be provided IAW 5652.215-9005 Estimated Prices for Data (2000) for evaluation purposes.

L.2.4.3 VOLUME 4 - CONTRACT DOCUMENTATION & ATTACHMENTS

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

L.2.4.5 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.
