5.0 Volume III - Price

5.1 General Instructions

5.1.1 Price Reasonableness and Completeness

This section is to assist the offeror in submitting information other than pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and completeness of the proposed price. Reasonableness will be determined using one or more of the techniques within FAR 15.404. For completeness, the Government will verify that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and prices are presented in a clear and useful format. Price submissions should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and be adequate enough to support and sustain a DCAA audit.

5.1.2 Price Information

Pricing submitted for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8, "Option to Extend Services," will be evaluated. See FAR 52.217-8, which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. The pricing proposal should include separate line items by CLIN for the additional 6-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the 6-months prior to expiration of the final option period. The total evaluated price will consist of the proposed price for the base period, all option periods, and the option pricing for the additional 6-month period. Pricing will be incorporated into Schedule B and related B-Tables upon contract award and used for all orders placed post-contract award.

Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless you consider it essential to document or support your cost/price position. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price Volume.

Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

5.1.3 Pricing Information Requirements

It is anticipated that pricing of this action will be based on adequate price competition; therefore, offerors are not required to submit certified cost or pricing data. If, after receipt of proposals, the Contracting Officer determines the required conditions of adequate competition do not exist, that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness, and none of the exceptions in FAR 15.403-1 apply, the offeror may be required to certify its submitted cost or pricing. In accordance with FAR 15.403-1(b) and 15.403-3(a), data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support price reasonableness. Information shall be provided in accordance with

FAR 15.403-5.

5.1.4 Price Proposal

The Pricing Schedule found in Section B of the RFP, shall be used by the offeror to submit their price proposal. The spreadsheet contains formulas to assist the Government in evaluating the offeror’s overall price based on the estimated quantities provided. The proposed unit monthly recurring charge/non-recurring charges shall reflect a firm fixed price and include all regulatory telecommunications charges and fees as well as all applicable Federal, State, and local taxes and duties. The evaluated price will be computed by multiplying monthly recurring charge/non-recurring charges by the estimated quantities for base and option periods. All formulas used shall remain present in the spreadsheet for verification.

5.2 Volume Organization

The pricing proposal shall be a separate volume from the technical proposal. The offeror shall use the Pricing Schedule, Section B, included with the RFP. The offeror agrees to hold the price in its proposal firm for 180 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of proposals or as requested in any subsequent amendment(s).

The offeror shall submit their proposed unit prices for the MWR ICP in MS Excel, as provided in Section B. The offeror’s price proposal shall be complete, submitting prices for all of the CLINs identified. Due to the likely inability of any offeror to accurately estimate amounts for CLINs X0012 and X0013, the Government is providing plug numbers to be used by all offerors when proposing for these CLINs. Failure to price all CLINs may result in the rejection of a proposal. The offeror must provide pricing for the base year and each of the option years identified.

With the exception of selected cells within the Pricing Schedule, Section B, the spreadsheet is protected by the Government and offerors shall not unprotect, alter, or add to the Pricing Schedule in any manner not directed in the instructions.

There is no page limitation for the price proposal. However, each text page shall use 11-point Arial, Times New Roman, or Courier New font, single-spaced, single-side, 8½ x 11 inches (no exceptions allowed). Excel spreadsheets may be submitted on paper up to 11 x 17 inches using 11-point Arial, Times New Roman, or Courier New font.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M

Evaluation Factors for Award

M001 SOURCE SELECTION

a. Basis for Contract Award

This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the DFARS and the DARS. These regulations are available electronically at http://www.ditco.disa.mil/hq/aqinfo.asp and http://farsite.hill.af.mil. The Government will select the best overall offeror, based on integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors described below. A contract may be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, whose proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is judged to represent the lowest priced technically acceptable approach.

http://www.ditco.disa.mil/hq/aqinfo.asp http://farsite.hill.af.mil/

b. Evaluation

The technical proposal should include all information the offeror wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its company’s ability to perform all required tasks and conform to all required terms and conditions. The best value determination will be based on the lowest priced offer that meets all requirements. After receipt of proposals, the Government will first evaluate the lowest price proposal. If the lowest price proposal is determined to be technically acceptable and otherwise properly awardable, no further evaluations will be conducted, and award will be made. If, however, the lowest price proposal is determined to be technically unacceptable and/or otherwise not properly awardable, further evaluations will be conducted.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions or seek clarifications if the Contracting Officer determines they are necessary. In the event issues pertaining to a proposed contract cannot be resolved to the Contracting Officer’s satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the proposed contract. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing. In the event a competitive range is established and the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition.

c. Evaluation of Options

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the base period. The offeror shall submit pricing for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8. See FAR 52.217-8, which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. The pricing proposal shall include a separate line item for the additional 6-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the 6 months prior to expiration of the base period, or the final option period. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s proposed price for the base period, all option periods, and the option pricing for the additional 6-month period. The Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to review option prices to determine if they are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

d. Number of Contracts to be Awarded

The Government intends to award a firm-fixed price, single-award ID/IQ contract for the MWR Internet Café Program ICP; however, the Government reserves the right to make no award at all.

e. Rejection of Offers

The Government may reject any proposal that contains program commitments or contract terms and conditions that do not comply with the PWS or this RFP. The Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to review for unbalanced pricing. If the Government conducts such a review, the Government may eliminate a proposal from the competition if it contains unbalanced pricing.

M002 EVALUATION FACTORS

a. Evaluation Factors and Subfactors

Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government using a lowest priced technically acceptable evaluation process. The following evaluation factors and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal and allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the contract.

Factor 1: Technical/Management Subfactor 1: Internet Cafés

Subfactor 2: End-to-End Managed Services Factor 2: Information Assurance (IA)

Factor 3: Cost/Price

b. Technical/Management Factor

The technical/management evaluation will be evaluated for acceptability using the ratings in Table 1.

Table 1. Technical/Management Ratings Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal/quotation clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal/quotation does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal in accordance with the subfactors described below. Each subfactor listed under the Technical/Management evaluation will be assessed individually, and each subfactor will receive its own rating. A rating of unacceptable in any of the below subfactors will render a proposal unawardable.

The Technical/Management approach will be evaluated using the following subfactors:

(i) Subfactor 1 – Internet Cafés (Reference PWS subparagraph 6.2) In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable, the proposed solution must meet the standards enumerated below:

a. The offeror must demonstrate how they will provide Field Service Representatives (FSRs) that are highly experienced in electronic systems and familiar with the contractor’s proposed Internet Café Program systems to conduct onsite maintenance when service and equipment issues cannot be resolved remotely, as described in PWS subparagraph 6.2.4.1 and 6.2.4.4. For purposes of this subfactor, highly experienced means at least 10 years of experience in electronic systems and similar systems to those the offeror proposes to use to meet the Internet Café requirements. FSRs shall be available to deploy anywhere in the world to install, de-install, maintain, troubleshoot, and repair Cafés, per PWS subparagraph 6.2.4.4.

b. The offeror must demonstrate how they will provide all Internet Café equipment to support the sizes and types described in PWS subparagraph 6.2.1 for both satellite-based and local ISP-based Internet Cafés. The offeror must also demonstrate how they will provide all software for the Cafés as described in subparagraph 6.2.3.

(ii) Subfactor 2 – End-to-End Managed Services (Reference PWS subparagraph 6.3) In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable, the proposed solution must meet the standards enumerated below:

a. The offeror must demonstrate through service coverage maps and link budget analysis how the space segment coverage requirements are met through the service offering, per PWS subparagraph 6.3.1.1.

b. The offeror must demonstrate how minimum committed information rates, service availability, latency, and packet loss requirements will be met by the offeror’s proposed solution, per subparagraphs 6.3.1.2, 6.3.1.3, 6.3.1.4, 6.3.1.5, and 6.3.1.6.

c. The offeror must demonstrate their capability of providing automated provisioning of U.S.-based

Internet services so that users are able to directly access services without additional actions (e.g., having to call to a help desk for access when using Café and personal devices) to all MWR Internet Cafés ordering services under this contract per subparagraph 6.3.

d. The offeror must demonstrate their capability of providing a local ISP option for transmission in lieu of satellite communications for all café types and locations per subparagraph 6.3.5.

c. Information Assurance Factor

Information Assurance Specifications (PWS Section 6.4.1): This factor will be evaluated, on an acceptable/unacceptable basis described in Table 1, above. An unacceptable rating for the Information Assurance Factor will render a proposal unawardable. The CIAQ is located in Section J, Attachment 1 of the RFP. In order for this subfactor to be rated acceptable, details of the contractor solution IA security posture shall be documented in the DISA provided CIAQ. The CIAQ must be submitted in its original Microsoft Excel format with the technical quotation. A single CIAQ must document all applicable system segments (corporate systems not involved in service operations need not be reported upon). NSA Cryptography is acceptable. As a minimum, Cryptography generally commensurate with commercial best practices is also acceptable if the Government determines that normal or special contractor emphasis and normal or close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any schedule, cost/price, and/or performance issues. Once the Government has identified the proposal that represents the best value to the Government, the Government will seek approval of the selected proposal by the Authorizing Official (AO).

If the AO does not approve the selected solution, the Government may either choose another offeror’s proposal or choose not to award the contract.

d. Price Factor

(i) For award purposes, the offeror's price proposal will be evaluated based upon the total evaluated price proposed for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional 6-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8.

(ii) The Government will calculate the total evaluated price by multiplying the proposed non-recurring costs and monthly recurring costs by the Government-provided evaluation quantities and evaluated months for each period, including the option pricing for an additional 6-month period. The estimated quantities are included in the Pricing Schedule in Section B of the RFP.

(iii) Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise such options.

(iv) The offeror’s price proposal will be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404, in order to determine if it is reasonable and complete. Normally, price reasonableness is established through price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For additional information, see FAR 31.201-3. The Government will determine completeness of the offeror's price proposal by verifying that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and prices are presented in a clear and useful format. The offeror shall complete the Government-provided Pricing Schedule in Section B of the RFP, as instructed in Section L.
