SOLICITATION INSTRUCTIONS

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

AMD01 – Updated contracting officer and contract specialist points of contact.

Addendum to 52.212-1(b), Submission of Offers is tailored as follows:

(b) Submission of offers:

(12) Other Instructions

(i) General Information

(A) Points of Contact: The contracting officer (KO) and contract specialist (CS) are the sole points of contact for this procurement. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the KO/CS. Written requests for clarification must be sent to the KO/CS at haylee.p.wheat.civ@mail.mil and john.m.ross138.civ@mail.mil.

(B) Discrepancies: If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the KO in writing with supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

(C) Electronic Reference Documents: All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Contracting Opportunities page (SAM) web site at https://www.sam.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

(D) Communications: Exchanges of source selection information between the Government and offerors will be controlled by the KO and CS. Email will be used to transmit such information to the offeror and will include “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104” in the Subject line.

(ii) Offerors are requested to submit a written technical proposal and a price proposal in response to the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). The Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan, QASP, is provided for contractor reference. Information on submission of technical and price proposals is provided below. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of statements asserted in the proposal. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, 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 RFP and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The proposal should sufficiently address the requirements as stated in PWS. Non-conformance with these instructions may result in removal of the proposal from further evaluation.

(iii) In accordance with (IAW) DISA Special Contract Requirement H1, 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 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

8.5 x 11 inches. 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, past performances, OCCI mitigation plans, SCRM plans, GFP Attachment, Fixed Price Payment Plans, FAR/DFARS Provisions/Clauses attachment, and Section 508 compliance. In the event any evaluation notices are issued, page limitations may also be placed on those. 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 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.

(v) Organization/Number of Copies/Page Limits. The offeror shall prepare the proposal as set forth in the Proposal Organization Table below. The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be within the required page limits and with the number of copies as specified. The contents of each proposal volume are described in the information to offerors paragraph as noted in the table below. To the greatest extent possible, each volume shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated with a minimum of cross referencing to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross-referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. Each volume may contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. Tab indexing may be used to identify sections.

Additionally, each volume may contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, and with an explanation for each. Glossaries do not count against the page limitations for their respective volumes.

Each volume shall be a separate file. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression program must be included. Proposals shall be submitted to the KO/CS identified below:

John M. Ross (CS) – john.m.ross138.civ@mail.mil Haylee Wheat (KO) – haylee.p.wheat.civ@mail.mil

(vii) Proposal Organization:

(A) Volume I - Executive Summary. In the executive summary volume, the offeror shall describe the significant attributes and theme of its proposal. It should be concise; to include addressing any significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding price. Any summary material presented in the Executive Summary shall not be considered as meeting the requirements for any portions of other volumes of the proposal. Include a master table of contents for the entire proposal.

(B) Volume II – Technical/Management. The technical/management volume should be specific and complete and will be evaluated against the technical/management subfactors defined in FAR 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. The technical portion of the proposal is to be submitted as a Microsoft (MS) Word 2007 or newer file. The page format shall have a 1-inch margin using no smaller than an 11-point Arial, Times New Roman, or Courier New font for all text to include any text contained in a table. The file size of each document shall not exceed 2MB. Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying the factors/subfactors.

In the Technical/Management volume, address your proposed approach to meeting or exceeding the minimum performance or capability requirements of each technical/management factor/subfactors, as well as any risks in your proposed approach in terms of technical/performance, price, and/or schedule. Address any technical/management risk by identifying those aspects of the proposal considered to have 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/SOW or specification requirements), whether those requirements are identified as subfactors or not. 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.

Volume II - Technical/Management shall be organized as follows:

-Table of Contents -List of Table and Drawings -Glossary -Subfactor One -Subfactor Two -Subfactor Three -All other aspects of the PWS

(C) Volume III – Price. The proposal will be evaluated using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR Part 15.404 to determine reasonableness and completeness.

Reasonableness is established through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR

15.404. For a price/cost proposal/quotation to be complete, all solicitation requirements must be priced, figures correctly calculated, and prices/costs presented in a clear and useful format. The price proposal spreadsheet shall be submitted in MS Excel 2007 format or newer. All formulas shall remain present in the spreadsheet for verification. The file size of each document shall not exceed 20MB. Information beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless considered essential to document or support the price. All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. The Offeror shall propose a fixed price payment plan as a separate document commensurate with the value of the deliverables and/or significant milestones in the PWS for this requirement. A firm fixed price payment plan with the total dollar amount divided into equal monthly payments will not be accepted unless the offeror provides justification for this plan that the Government subsequently deems adequate. The eventual awardee will be authorized to invoice monthly for all approved travel costs incurred and approved by the COR. Under no circumstances shall the information and documentation from the Price Volume be included elsewhere in the proposal other than Volume III, Price Volume and Volume IV, Contract Documentation, which includes CLIN pricing.

Price submissions should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness. 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, materials, etc.). Data other than certified cost or pricing data may be required to support the price reasonableness of your proposal in accordance with FAR 15.403.

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 given to the responsible offeror whose proposal is determined to represent the overall best value to the Government using a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation) process. The technical proposal 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 following evaluation factors and subfactors 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 and subfactors will be used to evaluate each proposal.

Factor 1: Technical/Management

(a) Subfactor 1: PWS Paragraph 6.1.1 In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable, the contractor’s proposal shall include a draft schedule utilizing the ‘critical path’ method and identify all milestones; the schedule shall include start date, submittal dates, key milestone dates, and completion dates as a minimum. The draft schedule shall be prepared using Microsoft Project or similar program to demonstrate the project can be reasonably accomplished within the stated Period of Performance of 365 calendar days.

(b) Subfactor 2: PWS Section 6.2.1 In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable, the contractor’s proposal shall include a technical approach narrative (no longer than 1 page single-spaced) that includes proposed installation methods and phasing for martials and equipment in Subsections 6.2.1.1 (CDUs), 6.2.1.2 (CHWS/R connections), 6.2.1.3 (CDU supply/return loop header manifold) at a minimum.

(c) Subfactor 3: PWS Section 6.1.2.8 In order for this subfactor to be rated Acceptable, the contractor’s proposal shall include a dust containment plan of action to protect existing IT equipment.

Factor 2: Price

(a). The Offeror’s firm-fixed price proposal will be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques defined in FAR 15.404, to determine if it is reasonable and complete. Normally, price reasonableness is established through cost and price analysis techniques as described in FAR 15.404. For a price to be complete, all solicitation requirements must be priced, figures correctly calculated and prices presented in a clear and useful format. The Government reserves the right, but is not obligated, to conduct a realism analysis.

c. Ratings

(1) Each Technical/Management subfactors will be evaluated and rated either Acceptable or Unacceptable. For a proposal to be rated Technically Acceptable overall, each of the subfactors must be rated Acceptable.

d. Discussions

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 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 cancel the solicitation. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing.

f. It is the sole responsibility of the offeror to ensure that the electronic files submitted are virus-free and can be opened and read by the Government. Proposal submissions shall not be locked, encrypted, or otherwise contain barriers to opening the file(s). The Government is under no obligation to seek clarification regarding electronic proposal submissions if submissions cannot be opened or accessed. The Government reserves the right not to consider for award any proposal that does not adhere to the administrative requirements of this RFP.
