INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

Instructions to Offerors:

For consideration in developing your proposal, the following information is provided.

This Request for Proposal (RFP) solicits for a single award Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) contract through a total Small Business set-aside, utilizing a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. The resultant contract will be for DISA Talent Management System (DTMS) Readiness Assessment and Individual Development Plan (IDP) System and Workforce Development Competency Consulting Support Services. 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, award will be made to that offeror. The Government reserves the right to evaluate only the lowest price proposal or to conduct further evaluations of additional proposals.

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). Non-conformance with the instructions provided in this Information to Offerors may result in removal of the proposal from further 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) The proposal acceptance period is 180 days. The Offeror shall make a clear statement in Section A of Volume IV- Proposal Documentation that the proposal is valid through this date.

(d) 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.

Point(s) of Contact The Contracting Officer (KO) and the Contracting Specialists (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, Quinton Smith, quinton.a.smith.civ@mail.mil and CS, Michelle Rand, michelle.l.rand.civ@mail.mil. Oral communications are not permissible.

Debriefings

The Contracting Officer will 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 request a post-award debriefing. However, offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing for each proposal. The Contracting Officer 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, as applicable.

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 Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale as well.

The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion, therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

Electronic Reference Documents All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOps) web site at http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation. The Government shall communicate all formal information regarding this solicitation via the FedBizOps website. This is the only mechanism by which offerors will have access to this solicitation documentation released by the Government. It is the exclusive responsibility of interested/prospective contractors to gain access to and retain an account with FedBizOps. Any and all technical, connectivity, or other access-related issues (electronic or physical) regarding the FedBizOps must be directed to the FedBizOps systems administrators, Federal Service Desk (FSD) by phone at 1-866-606-8220. The Contracting Officer for this solicitation has no influence over FedBizOps regulations, policy and protocol.

Communications Exchanges of source selection information between Government and offerors will be controlled by the Contracting Officer. Email may be used to transmit such information to offerors only if the email can be sent and received encrypted and includes “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 & 3.104” in the Subject line. Otherwise, source selection information will be transmitted via United States Post Office, commercial carrier like Federal Express or pick-up/delivery by a local representative.

Competitive Range Determination The Government reserves the right to make award without discussions or establishment of a competitive range. 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. In accordance with FAR Part 15.306(c) (2), Offerors are advised that the competitive range may be further reduced for purposes of efficiency.

Special Notice to Offerors The Government's obligation under this contract for all option periods is contingent upon the availability of funds from which payment for contract purposes can be made. No legal liability on the part of the Government for any payment may arise until funds are made available to the Contracting Officer for this contract and until the Contractor receives notice of such availability, to be confirmed in writing by the Contracting Officer. The Government reserves the right to begin services for the contract based upon funds available.

PROPOSAL DUE DATE: See Block 8 of the solicitation

In accordance with FAR 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors- Commercial Items and the additional Instructions to Offerors, the offeror's proposal submission will be considered complete when all volumes are received.

Volume I: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In the executive summary volume, the offeror shall provide the following information:

Part A- Narrative The narrative summary of the entire proposal should be concise, to include addressing the significant risks, and highlighting any key or unique features, excluding price. The salient features should tie in with 52.212-2, Evaluation- Commercial Items 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.

The Offeror should explain and provide their overall approach and supporting rationale for how they will execute the requirement of the contract.

Part B- Table of Contents Include a master table of contents of the entire proposal.

Part C - Glossary / Acronym List Include a master glossary / acronym list defining all acronyms utilized throughout the proposal.

Volume II: TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT VOLUME 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 52.212-2, Evaluation- Commercial Items. 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. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

Format and Specific Content

Technical/Management Volume In the Technical/Management volume, address your proposed approach to 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. Address technical/management risk by identifying those aspects of the proposal 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. 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 any new risks introduced by such risk mitigation.

Volume Organization The Technical/Management volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

Part A Table of Contents Part B List of Tables and Drawings Part C Technical/Management Approach

Part A- Table of Contents. Submit a Table of Contents for Volume II.

Part B- List of Tables and Drawings. Include a list of Tables and Drawings utilized throughout the Technical / Management Volume.

Part C- Technical Approach

The offeror’s Technical Capabilities proposal should describe their capabilities to execute all tasks specified in Section 6 of the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS). It should clearly describe their approach to fully meet or exceed the requirements of the PWS. Additionally the offeror shall describe experience in executing work in this arena. This subfactor should also describe where the offeror sees risk and how they would solve, mitigate or reduce risks. Proposals should clearly show how the offeror will accomplish the tasks and why they have chosen that particular course.

Volume III- PAST PERFORMANCE VOLUME General Each Offeror shall submit a past performance volume with its proposal, containing past performance information in accordance with the format contained in this Attachment 2, Past and Present Performance Information Template.

Offeror shall submit no more than three (3) total recent past/present performance efforts for evaluation, and each cited past performance shall not exceed three (3) pages. 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 (Attachment 3) executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of past performance information to the Offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. Consent letters cannot exceed more than one page.

Recent Contracts Recent efforts are those which have been performed during any portion of the last three (3) years from date of issuance of this RFP, including those efforts currently being performed. For those efforts currently being performed, the offeror must have been performing for at least six (6) months from the date of issuance of this RFP. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be further evaluated.

Relevant Contracts Relevancy is determined by assessing whether the past performance effort proposed is relevant to the Technical/ Management subfactors and the Price Factor contained in the RFP.

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. The offeror is required to clearly demonstrate management actions employed in overcoming problems and the effects of those actions in terms of improvements achieved or problems rectified. Categorize the relevant information into the specific technical/management subfactors used to evaluate the proposal.

Part A- Summary In accordance with the page limitations set forth in Table 1.1, describe the roles of the Offeror, subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners.

Part B- Past Performance Information Sheets Offeror shall submit no more than three (3) total recent past/present performance efforts for evaluation, and each cited past performance shall not exceed three (3) pages. (Note: Individual task orders under an ID/IQ contract are each considered to be one (1) past/present performance effort.) Information on up to two (2) recent contracts performed by an Offeror’s significant teaming partners/subcontractors and significant subcontractors considered most relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort may be submitted. The Government considers a significant subcontractor and/or teaming partner to be a company who provides 20% or more of the support required, and /or company who provides a critical portion of the effort required and/or influences the results of performance. The maximum number of past performance efforts submitted by the prime Offeror and its teaming partners may not exceed three (3) total. Therefore, if two (2) subcontractor efforts are submitted, then maximum number of efforts submitted by the prime would be one (1) effort. Submit information using the format contained in the Past and Present Performance Information attachment to the solicitation. Include rational supporting your assertion of relevance.

Part C- Consent Letters In accordance with the page limitations set forth in Table 1.1, the Offeror shall provide subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners consent or client authorization letters executed by each. These letters authorize the release of past performance information so the Offeror can respond to such information. A sample consent letter is provided at Attachment 3.

Part D- 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 section.

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 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/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 the efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

Volume IV– FACTOR 3: PRICE

General Instructions The following instructions are applicable to the prime offeror, subcontractors, teaming partners and joint venture partners. This section is to assist you in submitting information other than certified cost and pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and completeness of your proposed price. 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. Note that unreasonably high proposed prices, initially or subsequently, may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition. Additionally, unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an offeror’s proposal.

Price Reasonableness and Completeness Price submissions should be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate their reasonableness and be adequate enough to support and sustain a DCAA audit. As this is a competed Firm Fixed Price effort, competition is largely determinative of price reasonableness.

Price Information Pricing submitted for the base period and all option periods, including option pricing for an additional six-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 six-month period IAW FAR 52.217-8. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the six 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.

All travel must show the specific detail, if known (e.g., number of days, locations, number of personnel, etc.) and projected costs. 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.). Travel shall be authorized by the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) in writing prior to performance and will be paid IAW FAR Part 31.205-46. No profit or fee will be authorized for travel. Applicable burdens, e.g., G&A, may apply to travel IAW the contractor’s accounting practices.

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

Pricing Information Requirements 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. If, after receipt of proposals, the KO 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 data (see: FAR 15.406-2 -- Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data).

Offeror and its subcontractor(s) shall provide whatever information is necessary to help the Government understand why the proposed prices are reasonable in its Price Narrative Document. Offeror and its subcontractor(s) shall disclose the location (Government site or the Contractor site per the PWS) of each proposed labor categories performance locations in its cost proposal

Offeror and any subcontractor(s) shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with the Service Contract Act (SCA) for all applicable labor categories. If Offerors believe that labor categories are subject to the SCA, they shall identify such labor categories as “SCA Labor” on their proposal. Offeror shall also disclose the state and county in which the proposed SCA labor categories will be performing its effort, the Wage Determination Schedule used for its proposed SCA labor rates, and the Occupation Code and Title for each proposed SCA labor category.

Volume Organization The Price Volume shall consist of the following sections:

Part A - Introduction The offeror shall describe their methodology used to establish their price. The Offeror shall provide information describing and detailing the evaluation it performed to determine the reasonableness of subcontractor prices on hourly labor rates. This analysis shall be provided to the Contracting Officer and may be submitted in accordance with the Offeror’s internal accounting procedures; there is no specified format. The prime contractor shall also specify what type of contract (firm-fixed-price, cost-reimbursement etc.) is proposed for each subcontractor. For any subcontractor proposed at or above the Truth In Negotiations Act (TINA) threshold, the Offeror shall provide, or instruct the subcontractor to provide evidence of accounting system adequacy if the subcontractor is performing on any basis other than Firm Fixed Price (FFP) or Time and Materials (T&M).

Part B- Price Narrative The price narrative shall provide whatever information is necessary to help the Government understand why the proposed prices are reasonable. Each Offeror's price proposal shall contain sufficient quantitative and narrative documentation necessary to adequately support and explain the prices proposed, to include subcontractor proposed prices.

Price Summary Spreadsheet Offerors are required to use the Government-provided Microsoft Excel Workbook to submit the cost and pricing data supporting its proposed price, Attachment 4. The Government-provided Microsoft Excel workbook is structured to facilitate the calculation of total labor hours proposed for each separate labor skill mix. This schedule shall include (and separately identify) subcontractors and inter-divisional transfer hours. In addition, the Offeror shall provide labor classification statements for each category of labor proposed (prime, subcontracts, and inter-divisional) describing position qualifications (education, years of experience, etc). Offeror shall also provide anticipated costs for anticipated travel as outlined in the PWS.

The price proposal shall be submitted using an .xls file (MS-Excel 2010) compatible format. The Microsoft Excel spreadsheets shall include all formulas and calculations and NOT be hard-numbered. Failure to comply with this section may result in Offeror’s cost submission being determined non responsive. DO NOT SUBMIT a .pdf file.

The Offeror’s spreadsheet(s) shall also include option pricing for an additional six-month period that may be authorized IAW FAR 52.217-8.

The Offeror must propose a CLIN 9999, Surge. The Government may require surge support during the base or any option period. The Government is providing a percentage value to be used by all offerors when proposing surge:

surge support will not exceed 20% of the offeror’s total proposed cost/price for the base and all option periods, excluding the six-month extension of services pursuant to FAR 52.217-8. Offerors are instructed to propose this EXACT percentage for Surge CLIN 9999. In the event the Government does elect to exercise the Surge Option, surge support will be realigned under new or existing CLINs for the relevant task areas identified in the PWS, and an equal amount will be deducted from Optional Surge CLIN 9999. 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 firm-fixed price.

The Offeror is required to submit prices for all labor categories proposed in accordance with the Performance Work Statement. The Offeror shall complete a labor rate tab in the workbook that encompasses fully-loaded/burdened labor rates for all labor categories proposed for all contract years. The labor rates and indirect loadings rates for the six-month option period shall be the same as those in effect for the final option period.

Part D – Other Price Related Information Any other information related to pricing, if necessary, shall be included in this section.
