L-I - INFORMATION TO OFFERORS AND INSTRUCTIONS FOR PROPOSAL

PREPARATION

1.0 General Instructions

(a) This section of the Information to Offerors provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the 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 offer shall be compliant with the requirements as stated in the Performance Work Statement (PWS), and all applicable attachments.

Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this Information to Offerors MAY result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

(b) The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. 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 that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

(c) Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

(d) The proposal acceptance period is 120 days. The offeror shall make a clear statement in the proposal documentation volume that the proposal is valid through this date.

(e) In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

1.1 General Information

1.1.1. Point of Contact

The contracting officer (CO) is the sole point of contact for this procurement. Address any questions or concerns you may have to the CO. Written requests for clarification must be sent to the CO at the address located in Section

A of the model contract/solicitation.

1.1.2. Debriefings

The CO will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range; whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing or they may choose to wait until after the source selection decision to receive a post-award debriefing. However, offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The CO will notify unsuccessful offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.506. Upon such notification, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506.

1.1.3. 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 CO in writing with supporting rationale as well as the remedies the offeror is asking the CO to consider as related to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

1.1.4. Electronic Reference Documents

All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business

Opportunities website: http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to monitor this website to be aware when information has been posted for this solicitation.

1.2.2 Cost or Pricing Information

http://www.fedbizopps.gov/

All cost or pricing information shall be addressed ONLY in the Cost/Price Proposal and Contract Documentation

Volumes. Cost trade-off information, work-hour estimates, and material kinds and quantities may be used in other volumes only as appropriate for presenting rationale for alternatives or design and trade-off decisions. Actual cost/price figures should only be provided in the Cost/Price Proposal and Contract Documentation Volumes. Please ensure that cost/price proposals are separated by tasks as listed in Section B of the Schedule of the RFP and the

PWS. Offeror’s Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) should contain the specific labor categories and labor hours for each category, mapped directly to each specific task, as well as the offeror’s estimated materials, and other direct costs described in units and applicable parameters such that the Government may thoroughly evaluate the offeror’s methodology and Basis of Estimate (BOE). Cost and/or price information shall be omitted from both the WBS and

BOE.

1.2.3 Cross-Referencing

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.

The offeror shall provide a cross-reference matrix indicating by RFP, PWS, and/or specification paragraph number, the corresponding proposal paragraph in that section which addresses the referenced item.

1.2.4 Indexing

Each volume shall contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections.

1.2.5 Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms

Each volume shall 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.

1.2.6 Labeling

In the executive summary volume, the offeror shall provide the following information:

mailto:%20michael.d.jackson119.civ@mail.mil mailto:anke.c.taylor.civ@mail.mil

2.1 Narrative Summary

The narrative summary of the entire proposal should be concise, to include addressing the significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding cost/price. The salient features should tie in with Section M evaluation factors/subfactors. Any summary material presented here shall not be considered as meeting the requirements for any portions of other volumes of the proposal.

2.2 Table of Contents

Include a master table of contents of the entire proposal.

3.0 Volume II – Technical/Management Volume

3.1 General

The Technical/Management Volume should be specific and complete. Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. Your responses will be evaluated against the technical/management subfactors defined in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. Using the instructions provided below, provide as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing/satisfying these subfactors. All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your proposal submission, you are representing that your firm will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation. It is not necessary or desirable for you to tell us so in your proposal. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

3.2 Format and Specific Content

3.2.1 Technical/Management

In the Technical/Management volume, address your proposed approach to accomplishing each of the tasks as called out in paragraphs 6.10 through 6.50 and all subparagraphs there under of the PWS and for meeting or exceeding the minimum performance or capability requirements of each technical/management subfactor, as well as the risks in your proposed approach in terms of technical/performance, cost, and/or schedule, and the specific mitigating factors you will employ. Failure to address any of the above may be considered a weakness or deficiency and may result in offeror’s proposal being determined ineligible for award.

3.2.1.1 Technical/Management Risk

Address technical/management risk by identifying those aspects of your proposal which you consider 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. Classify each risk in accordance with the Section M, paragraph M 2.3.1.2. Provide the rationale for each risk and its rating, including quantitative estimates of the impact on cost, schedule, and 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), whether or not those requirements are identified as subfactors. Propose a realistic "work-around" or risk mitigators for identified risks that will eliminate or reduce risk to an acceptable level. Identify and classify any new risks introduced by such risk mitigation.

3.2.2 Volume Organization

The Technical/Management volume shall be organized according to the following general outline Table of Contents

(1) List of Table and Drawings

(2) Glossary

(3) Cross Reference Matrix

(4) Subfactor 1a: Technical Approach

(5) Subfactor 2b: Management Approach

(6) Risk, addressed for each subfactor

(7) Work Breakdown Structure (WBS). Provide a WBS to level 3 for each Subfactor

Be sure to address in your approach how you will accomplish each task area. Omission of an approach to accomplishing any requirement shall be evaluated as a weakness and may rise to the level of deficiency.

4.0 Volume III - Past Performance

4.1 General

Each offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in this RFP. This information is required of the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners who are proposed to perform 20 percent or more of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price/cost or perform aspects of the effort the offeror considers critical to overall successful performance. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past performance.

Along with the information required in this paragraph, the offeror shall submit a consent letter executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

4.2 Relevant Contracts

Submit information in accordance with Section M. Past Performance Information on five (5) recent contracts that you consider most relevant in demonstrating your ability to perform the proposed effort. A contract is considered recent if performed within the last five (5) years of issuance of this solicitation (must have completed a minimum of six (6) months of performance). Also include information on five (5) recent contracts performed by each of your teaming partners and significant subcontractors that you consider most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in determining recency and relevance, see Section M, Evaluation Factors, Factor

2-Past Performance Factor.

4.2.1 Specific Content

Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate. This may include a discussion of efforts accomplished by the offeror to resolve problems encountered on prior contracts as well as past efforts to identify and manage program risk. Merely having problems does not automatically equate to a limited or no confidence rating, since the problems encountered may have been on a more complex program, or an offeror may have subsequently demonstrated the ability to overcome the problems encountered. The offeror may demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. This may allow the offeror to be considered a higher confidence candidate. For example, submittal of quality performance indicators or other management indicators that clearly support that an offeror has overcome past problems is required. Categorize the relevant information into the specific technical/management subfactors and cost/price factor used to evaluate the proposal.

4.2.2 Organizational Structure Change History

Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this procurement.

To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the offerors, your "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the

Government receives information from other sources.

5.0 Volume IV - Cost/Price

5.1 General Instructions

5.1.1 Cost/Price Reasonableness and Realism

This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and realism of your proposed cost/price. Compliance with these requirements is mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. Note that unrealistically low or high proposed costs or prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition either on the basis that the offeror does not understand the requirement or has submitted an unrealistic proposal.

Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal. Offers should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and realism. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the offeror.

5.1.2 Estimating Techniques and Methods

When responding to the Cost/Price Volume requirements in the solicitation, the offeror and associated subcontractors may use any generally accepted estimating technique, including contemporary estimating methods

(such as Cost-to-Cost and Cost-to-Non-Cost Estimating Relationships, commercially available parametric cost models, in-house developed parametric cost models, etc.), to develop their estimates.

5.1.3 Cost/Price Information

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.

5.1.4 Cost or Pricing Information Requirements

Cost Proposal Submission: Offeror shall provide a Cost Narrative detailing the methodology employed in developing the cost estimates for each element of offeror’s Cost Proposal Submission to include, but not be limited to: Direct Labor, Indirect Rates, Material, Travel, Subcontracted and Interdivisional Efforts, ODCs, FCCoM and

Fee. Ensure the cost proposal includes detailed cost/price amounts of all resources required to accomplish the task, (i.e. labor categories, labor hours, number of employees for each labor category, rates, travel, incidental equipment, etc.). Labor and overhead rates should include sufficient detail to sustain a DCAA audit (e.g. Direct Labor Rates, Overhead, Fringe Benefits, G&A, and Fee, etc.). All travel must show the specific detail, if known (i.e. Number of days, locations, number of personnel, etc.). All Materials and ODC’s shall annotate the specific detail (qty, part number, manufacturer, etc.) to include supporting documentation to justify the cost (i.e. current invoice, current vendor quotes, price history, etc.) Offeror shall provide a Basis of Estimate (BOE) and a Bill of Materials (BOM).

If a subcontractor relationship exists, the subcontractor must break out their costs, in accordance with the above requirements. If needed, the subcontractor may submit their cost breakout directly to the Contracting Officer. If applicable, travel, shall be authorized by the Task Monitor (TM), in writing, prior to performance and will be paid

IAW FAR 31.205-46. ODCs will be paid IAW FAR 31.205. The contractor will be authorized to invoice monthly for all approved travel and ODC costs incurred and approved by the COR.

Cost/Price Proposal Templates: See Attachment 3 of the RFP. Templates are provided as guidance for use when preparing and submitting your data other than certified cost or pricing data. Offeror may use their own format;

however, offeror must provide the information as outlined in “Cost Proposal Submission” above, sufficient to allow the Government to evaluate offeror’s proposal and determine a probable cost of completing the contract in accordance with offeror’s proposed approach. All templates submitted shall include formulas, and NOT be hard-numbered.

Sanitized Cost Proposal. This shall take the same format as described in the Cost Proposal Submission (above) and include the Cost/Price Proposal Templates; however, the Sanitized Cost Proposal shall be scrubbed (sanitized) of all numerical cost and price entries.

Note: Mandatory items to be included with your Cost Proposal. A negative reply is required for any element not submitted with your proposal.

Forward Pricing Rate Agreement from, Forward Pricing Rate Recommendation from, or Forward Pricing

Rate Proposal to, the offeror’s cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency office. Otherwise provide a List of current Direct and Indirect Rates along with the cost pools and allocation bases from which the

Indirect Rates were calculated;

Name, phone, mailing address, email address, and title of both your cognizant DCAA and DCMA points of contact; and

Statement of DCAA Accounting System approval – (Letter of Approval)

5.2. Volume Organization

The Cost/Price volume shall consist of the following sections:

SECTION 1 - Table of Contents; summary descriptions of estimating; changes to estimating.

SECTION 2 - Cost or pricing information and supporting data, to include estimating methodology.

SECTION 3 - Other information such as Government Furnished Property/Government Furnished

Equipment (GFP/GFE), long lead costs, termination costs, inflation rate summary and explanation, and life cycle cost.
