ORDERING PROCEDURES
ORDERING PROCEDURES
This is an unrestricted solicitation for Language Instruction Services. Any resultant contract resulting from this solicitation will be awarded as an Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity contract with a five-year ordering period.
The contract will be firm-fixed-price for services and time and materials for travel.
A Subcontracting Plan is not required.
IDIQ MINIMUM AND MAXIMUM VALUE:
The minimum obligation of the Government under the schedule of this IDIQ is $25,000.00. The maximum value of the contract is the total awarded value of the IDIQ.
IDIQ TASK ORDERS:
The Government intends to establish task orders based upon pricing contained Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Table.
Pricing is for training environment, additional hourly price, and for outreach material (for the first year only).
The CLIN 0001 unit price is an average unit price for the training classes, additional hours, and outreach materials (first year only) for all ordering years. The CLIN 0001 quantity is the maximum quantity of task orders the Government anticipates.
When the Government intends to issue a task order, it will determine the price for the effort based upon the Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Table considering the ordering year, type of learning environment, and/or hours required.

The Offeror shall identify at least two (2), but no more than five (5), of its most relevant contracts or efforts performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date.

The Offeror shall provide a detailed explanation of the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements as stated in Attachment 1 – IDIQ PWS of the solicitation.

A major subcontractor is defined as those providing twenty percent (20%) of total IDIQ dollar threshold. If major subcontractor experience is provided as part of the past performance references, it will be given weight relative to the percentage of effort being provided by that particular subcontractor in the offer submitted.

Documentation required as part of the Past Performance
Proposal includes a copy of the documented arrangement such as documented affiliation, a copy of the teaming agreement, a copy of the joint venture agreement, etc. and the narrative discussing the relationship.
If an Offeror or its major subcontractor(s) determines they have no relevant past performance data, they shall provide the following statement in lieu of the information request below: “(Insert Offeror or major subcontractor’s name) has determined that they possess no relevant past performance information IAW the RFP”.
Each past performance reference shall include the following:
a) Contractor Name;
b) Was performance completed as the prime contractor or subcontractor;
c) Name of the customer /agency;
d) Contract / Purchase Order Number for the Reference (Subcontract number if a subcontractor for the overall effort);

g) Initial and Final Contract Price for the past performance reference (Subcontract value if a subcontractor for the overall effort);
h) Description of service provided (include sufficient detail to demonstrate the scope, magnitude, and complexity of the service provided relative to this requirement);
i) Discussion of the requirement similarities and differences;
j) Quality of Past Performance to include the timeliness of deliverables required; how costs were controlled;
business relationships; management of key personnel, and any other areas deemed necessary to provide insight into actual performance.
Attachment 4 - Past Performance Questionnaire. Offerors and all major subcontractors shall send this questionnaire to previous customers of relevant prime contracts and subcontracts. The Offeror/major subcontractor shall ask the customer to complete the questionnaire and return it directly to the Contracting Officer (Charles.m.carnley.civ@mail.mil) and Contract Specialist (jada.a.weaver.civ@mail.mil). It is the responsibility of the offeror to ensure questionnaires are submitted and received by the proposal submission due date. Offerors will not receive copies of the questionnaires as they are submitted directly to the Contracting Office.
The Government may utilize the Federal Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) application, System for Award Management (SAM)/Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) or other pertinent officials;
responses received from the Past Performance Questionnaire; the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), in addition to the information submitted in the offeror’s past performance proposal to determine the quality and relevance of the Offeror’s past performance.
VOLUME IV – Factor 3, Price (No Page Limit)

All unit prices shall be no more than two decimal places and no rounding shall be utilized.

Offerors shall provide their proposed pricing per training environment, price for additional hours, and outreach material pricing (which is Task Order 0001 pricing).
The cells requiring contractor pricing are identified in yellow in Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Table. Offerors shall not modify any formulas contained in Attachment 2 – IDIQ Pricing Table or modify any of the red cells as these will auto populate necessary information to complete the Section B tab of the spreadsheet.
The Government intends to evaluate the FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, as part of the price evaluation for this award. The offeror shall not provide a price for FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. This will be calculated by taking 50% of the total CLIN 0001 and 0002 estimate for Ordering Period Five.
The Offeror’s pricing shall be the total price for each area, including all indirect rates and profit. The Offeror shall identify any discounts offered and any escalation utilized along with the rationale for same.
