The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements.

Offerors shall assume the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and capabilities and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by the solicitation and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The proposal should sufficiently address the requirements as stated in the PWS. Non-conformance with these instructions may result in removal of the proposal from further evaluation.

(iii) IAW DISA Instruction, Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest (OCCI), each offeror shall specifically identify in its proposal whether or not any potential or actual organizational and consultant conflicts of interest, as described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.5, exists for this instant procurement. If the offeror believes that no OCCI exists, the OCCI response shall set forth sufficient details to support such a position. If an offeror believes that an actual or perceived OCCI does exist on the instant procurement, the offeror shall submit an OCCI plan with the proposal, explaining in detail how the OCCI will be mitigated and/or avoided.

(iv) Page limitations, if applicable, are identified below and will be treated as maximums. A page is defined as each face of a sheet of paper containing information. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two pages. Page size shall be

Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing all aspects of the PWS and satisfying Factor 1.

Address your proposed approach to meeting or exceeding the minimum performance or capability requirements, as well as any risks in your proposed approach in terms of technical/performance, price, and/or schedule. Address risk by identifying those aspects of the Proposed Solution that you consider having the potential for disruption of schedule, increased cost, poor performance, the need for increased Government oversight, and/or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Describe the impact of each identified risk in terms of its potential to interfere with or prevent the successful accomplishment of other contract requirements (e.g., PWS or specification requirements). Propose a realistic "work-around" or risk mitigation for identified risks that will eliminate or reduce risk to an acceptable level.

Identify any new risks introduced by such risk mitigation.

(B) Price Quote. The quotation will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR Part 15.404 in order to determine if they are reasonable and complete.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2(a)

Addendum to 52.212-2(a), Evaluation-Commercial Items is tailored as follows:

a. Basis for Contract Award

Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) process. The Proposed Solution should include all information the offeror wants the Government to consider and evaluate regarding its ability to perform all required tasks and conform to all required terms and conditions. To be eligible for award, the offeror’s proposal must sufficiently address all aspects of the PWS. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award.

Regarding the best value analysis for the award decision, the below evaluation factors will be used to determine technical acceptability. Section 508 Accessibility Standards do not apply to this requirement.

b. Evaluation Factors and Subfactors

(1) The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal.

Factor 1: Solution This factor will be evaluated based on the extent to which the offeror’s Proposed Solution meets the requirements stated in PWS Paragraphs 6.1 through 6.3 and 6.2 for performance in PWS Paragraph 9 adhering to the schedule in PWS Paragraph 10. In order to be rated Acceptable, the offeror’s Proposed Solution must clearly demonstrate its ability to deliver the required dividers and complete associated, incidental disposal, installation, and warranty services as stated in the PWS Paragraphs above.

Factor 2: Price Price Quotes will be evaluated to determine if they are reasonable and complete. The Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to conduct a realism analysis. The offeror should ensure the Price Quote includes detailed information regarding the resources required to accomplish the task (e.g., labor categories, labor hours, number of employees for each labor category, rates, etc.). All ODCs shall annotate the specific detail (e.g., quantity, part number, manufacturer, etc.) to include supporting documentation to justify the costs (i.e., price quotes, price history, etc.)

Completeness is defined as: The Government will determine completeness of an offeror’s Price Quote by verifying that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and prices are presented in a clear and useful format.

Reasonableness is defined as: Price Quotes will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404 to determine price reasonableness.

All travel must show the specific detail, if known (e.g., number of days, locations, number of personnel, etc.). All Other Direct Costs (ODCs) shall annotate the specific detail (e.g., quantity, part number, manufacturer, etc.) to include supporting documentation to justify the costs (i.e., price quotes, price history, etc.). Travel shall be authorized by the KO in writing prior to performance and will be paid IAW FAR Part 31.205-46.

(2) Relative Importance of Factors. The relative importance of each factor is as follows:

The Solution Factor is less important than the Price Factor/price.

c. Ratings

The Solution Factor will receive one of the ratings described in Table 1: either Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order for a proposal to be rated overall Technically Acceptable, the Solution Factor must be rated Acceptable.

d. Discussions/Exchanges

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without exchanges.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct exchanges or seek clarifications if the KO determines they are necessary. If exchanges are required, the number of proposals being competitively considered may be narrowed to all of the most highly rated proposals. The Government further reserves the right to reduce the number of proposals being competitively considered to the greatest number that will permit efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. If an offeror’s proposal is removed from further consideration for award, written notice of the removal will be provided to the offeror. In the event issues pertaining to the solicitation cannot be resolved to the KO's satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the solicitation. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing.
