PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

I. INTRODUCTION

The Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) intends to award a firm- fixed priced contract resulting from this solicitation to the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offeror. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)).

This solicitation is being issued as Full and Open Competition with a HUBZONE price evaluation preference.

This solicitation is formatted as a Request for Proposal (RFP) in accordance with the requirements designated by Part 15 of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). This method permits evaluation of proposals based on price competition, technical acceptability, and other factors; permits impartial and comprehensive evaluation of the offeror’s proposals; permits discussions if necessary; and ensures selection of the source whose performance provides the best value to the Government.

The Government reserves the right to reject any or all proposals at any time prior to award; to negotiate with any or all offerors; to award the contracts to other than the offeror submitting the lowest total price; or to award to other than the offeror submitting the highest technically rated proposal.

OFFERORS ARE ADVISED THAT AWARD MAY BE MADE WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS OR

ANY CONTACT CONCERNING THE PROPOSALS RECEIVED. Therefore, proposals should be submitted initially on the most favorable price and technical terms. Offerors should not assume that they will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to qualify, discuss, or revise their proposals. However, the Government reserves the right to clarify certain aspects of proposals or conduct discussions providing an opportunity for offerors to revise their proposals.

The LPTA process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition because the best value is expected to result from selection of the technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price.

An overall non-price factors rating must be evaluated at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” evaluation rating for any of the technical factor elements #1-#16 shall result in the overall non-price technical factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price technical factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

II. EVALUATION FACTORS

The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non- cost/price factors:

Factor 1 - Technical Requirements

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the Lowest Priced, Technically Acceptable (LPTA) offeror. Please note: the Government reserves the right to reject proposals that are unreasonably low or high in price as determined through historical costs paid for the same or similar services and comparison with market pricing.

Technical acceptability of Offerors will be based on the Specification list dated 16 July 2024.

Within the Specification list the following will be assessed for technical acceptability

# Requirements Acceptable Unacceptable 1 Installation at Bldg 1116, 9700 Theote Rd, Ft Belvoir, Virginia

2 Internet with minimum 150 Mb download x 35 Mb upload

3 Static IP -1 ☐ ☐ 4 Standard HD cable service ☐ ☐ 5 Monthly equipment rental – 4 TV Boxes ☐ ☐ 6 Internet and cable service must start within 60 days of award

Offerors must receive an “Acceptable” rating in all requirements listed in the above table to be considered for award.

PRICE

Offerors shall propose pricing for CLIN 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001, and 4001, in the body of the solicitation where CLIN unit and extended pricing are illustrated. Additionally, pricing for each individual CLIN and an overall price total for the requirement shall be provided via a separate/attached quote on company letterhead. In addition to the quote, the Offeror must fill in all information required in block 17a of the solicitation (including Offeror’s Cage Code) and the SF1449 shall be signed and dated (Blocks 30a‐c) by an official having the authority to contractually bind the firm. A "complete offer" must include both attachments: the quote as well as the signed solicitation.

Price will be evaluated and considered but will not be scored or combined with other aspects of the proposal evaluation. CLIN level pricing for each separately priced CLIN shall identify the number of labor hours by labor category and employing organization that serve as the primary basis of estimate for proposed CLIN level pricing. Total labor hours by CLIN and for the proposed total price shall be clearly identified in the price proposal. They will also be analyzed to determine whether they are realistic for the work to be performed, reflect a clear understanding of the requirements, and are consistent with the information provided by the Offeror.

The otherwise technically acceptable lowest-priced Offeror may be required to confirm/validate its price on an elemental basis, and/or provide additional information in support of their price, prior to contract award at the Government’s request and discretion. In exceptional cases, when the determination of fair and reasonable price requires additional information, the Contracting Officer may conduct a price analysis to support the determination of whether the proposed price is fair and reasonable.

Please be advised that if priced options are reflected in this requirement that they will be evaluated and considered in making the award determination to include establishing the basis of pricing any future exercise of the option described in FAR 52.217-8.

This award is also subject to acceptance of all terms and conditions of the contract and a determination of a fair and reasonable price. The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), will be used to evaluate the offer and award this requirement.

III. SOLICITATION SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

Offerors shall allow adequate time to upload files which may be slower for non-DoD users and to avoid other technical difficulties that may be encountered.
