http://www.beta.sam.gov/

a. IAW with DISA Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DARS) 52.209-9000, each offeror shall specifically identify in its proposal, whether or not any potential or actual Organizational and Consultant Conflicts of Interest

(OCCI) as described in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 9.5 exists for this 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 this procurement, the offeror shall submit an OCCI plan with the proposal, explaining in detail how the OCCI will be mitigated and/or avoided.

b. Section 508 Accessibility Standards do not apply to this requirement.

c. The following administrative requirements apply to the offerors’ proposals in response to the RFP. The technical portion of the proposal shall include information regarding the offeror’s ability to conform to all required terms and conditions in the solicitation. The offerors’ proposals shall address all aspects of the PWS. Page limitations are identified below under each evaluation factor and will be treated as maximums. If exceeded, excess pages will not be read or considered in evaluation of the proposal. The following items will not be considered when calculating page limits: cover page, table of contents, glossary, executive summary, generic resumes, and OCCI mitigation plans. In the event any evaluation notices are issued, page limitations may also be placed on those. The technical portion of the proposal is to be submitted as a Microsoft (MS) Word 2007 or PDF document. The page format shall have a 1 inch margin using no smaller than an 11 point Ariel, Times New Roman, or Courier New font for all text to include any text contained in a table. The price proposal spreadsheet shall be a separate document from the technical proposal and shall be submitted in MS Excel 2007 format. All formulas shall remain present in the spreadsheet for verification. The total size of each email (including all attachments) shall not exceed 20MB.

Email attachments shall not be submitted in a .zip file format. Page limitations shall not be circumvented by including inserted text boxes/pop-ups or internet links to additional information; such inclusions are not acceptable and will not be considered as part of a proposal. The Government reserves the right not to consider for award any proposal that does not adhere to the administrative requirements of this RFP.

d. This requirement is being solicited to small business contractors (Set Aside 100%).

3. Evaluation Factors and Basis for Award Determination:

a. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the

Government using an LPTA evaluation process. The evaluation factors and subfactors identified in paragraph 3c(1) below will be used in the determination of technical acceptability.

b. 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.

c. The standards for determining technical acceptability are below, as well as information concerning price proposals.

(1) Technical/Management Approach Factor: The Technical/Management Subfactors will be evaluated and rated either Acceptable or Unacceptable. In order for a proposal to be acceptable a contractor’s proposal to be rated overall Technically Acceptable each of the following subfactors must be rated

Acceptable. Technical/ management proposals shall not exceed 20 pages.

(a) Subfactor 1: PWS Paragraph 6.1.1 - Project Schedule. In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable, the contractor shall submit a draft executable schedule with stated tasks for equipment installation that identifies all milestones that include start dates (draft schedule use June 1st as Day 1), submittal dates, estimated start dates, and completion dates necessary to complete the purchase and installation of the raised access flooring as required in PWS Paragraph 6.2, Task 2, and the installation and operational testing of the SRG grounding as required in PWS Paragraph 6.3, Task 3. Tasks do not require completion in sequential order and may occur concurrent with other tasks. The draft schedule shall be prepared using Microsoft Project or similar program within the stated Period of Performance of one (1) calendar year. The subfactor will only be rated acceptable if the Government can reasonably determine the schedule is executable.

(b) Subfactor 2: PWS Paragraph 6.2 - Raised Access Floor Upgrade. In order for this subfactor to be rated

Acceptable, the contractor shall provide detailed information describing the raised access flooring materials and the structural components expected to be used to include the Manufacturer’s material information data sheets that meet the specifications for the raised access floor system per PWS Paragraph 6.2.1.1 and Appendix B-

Rigid Grid Access Flooring specification, and the specific methods to be use in lifting the operational IT racks per PWS Paragraph 6.2.1.2 to accomplish this project. The technical response shall include detailed information that allows the Government to fully evaluate the offeror’s response.

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.

(2) Past Performance: Past performance is being evaluated on this LPTA requirement but only on a acceptable/unacceptable basis and will be considered only after the technical proposal is determined acceptable.

Offerors will be evaluated on performance under existing and prior contracts for similar products or services with the past performance being rated as "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable." In order to be rated Acceptable, the

Government must determine that based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or that the offeror’s performance record is unknown. The contractor shall provide documented experience that demonstrates successful completion of projects installing raised access flooring in an active data center environment. This factor will be rated Unacceptable if, based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Past performance efforts cited must be for similar services, as outlined in the PWS, with satisfactory performance, and must have occurred within the last 5 years. A minimum of 2, but maximum of 5 past performance efforts may be submitted, and each past performance effort submitted shall not exceed 2 pages. The Government reserves the right to obtain information relative to present and past performance on its own, in addition to that provided by the offeror. Past performance, information may be obtained through the Past Performance Information Retrieval

System, through interviews with program managers on past efforts, or any other sources known to the Government.

Table 2. Past Performance Ratings

Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(3) Price Factor:

(a) The Government will determine completeness of the offeror’s proposal by verifying that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures are correctly calculated, and costs are presented in a clear and useful format.

The offeror shall submit pricing for the scope of work requested for the 1-year PoP. The total evaluated price will consist of the contractor’s proposed price for the work requested.

(b) Offerors should ensure price proposals include detailed information regarding the resources required to accomplish the task (e.g., labor categories, labor hours, number of employees for each labor category, rates, travel, incidental equipment, contract access fees, etc.). Again, the price proposal spreadsheet shall be a separate document from the technical/management proposal.

(c) The Government may require surge support in accordance with DITCO Special Contract Requirement

H6 – Option To Exercise Surge Support. The Government is providing a percentage value to be used by all offerors when proposing surge. Surge support will not exceed 5% of the offeror’s total proposed cost/price for the base and all option periods, excluding any 6-month extension of services pursuant to

FAR 52.217-8. Offerors are instructed to propose this EXACT percentage for Surge CLIN 9999. Pricing for optional CLIN 9999 shall be quoted as a cost reimbursable, not-to-exceed CLIN. The Government will not conduct a cost realism analysis on optional surge CLIN 9999 if all other labor CLINs under the contract/task order are fixed price.

4. 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 (KO) determines they are necessary. In the event issues pertaining to a proposed task cannot be resolved to the KO’s satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the proposed contract. In such an event, offerors will be notified in writing. In the event a competitive range is established and the KO 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 KO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition.

5. A fixed price payment plan commensurate with the value of the deliverables and/or significant milestones in the

PWS must be submitted with your proposal. A fixed price payment plan with the total dollar amount divided into 12 equal monthly payments will not be accepted unless you provide justification for this plan that the Government subsequently deems adequate. If justification is provided and deemed adequate, you shall ensure your monthly price

(total price divided by 12), comes to no more than two decimal places. You will be authorized to invoice monthly for all approved travel costs incurred and approved by the COR.

6. In response to this RFP, no terms, conditions, or assumptions will be entertained. If terms, conditions, or assumptions are included in a proposal, the proposal may be excluded on grounds that it failed to comply with the

RFP’s instructions.

7. An offeror agrees that if its offer is accepted within 60 calendar days from the date of receipt of proposals (unless a different period is stated in the proposal), it will furnish the items and/or services identified in its proposal at the price offered to the designated point(s) within the time specified in the contract.

8. Portions of the successful offeror’s proposal may be incorporated into the contract.

9. Questions should be addressed to mark.e.kraft2.civ@mail.mil. Please provide any questions, in writing, no later than March 17, 2021 at 2:00pm (CST). The Government reserves the right to not answer questions submitted after this time.

10. Proposals are due no later than April 07, 2021 at 2:00pm (CST) and should be submitted electronically to mark.e.kraft2.civ@mail.mil. The Government will not accept proposals that are not submitted electronically

(i.e., through e-mail).
