FAR 52.212-1 is supplemented as follows:

A. Proposal Preparation Instructions Provided to Offerors

1. General Instructions

a. Addendum to Paragraph (c) Period of Acceptance of Offers: Paragraph (c) is changed to read as follows:

The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 120 calendar days from the proposal due date, unless another time period is specified in an amendment to the solicitation.

b. Addendum to Paragraph (g) Contract Award. Paragraph (g) is changed to read as follows: The Government intends to award without discussions. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best approach/terms for all the evaluation factors (technical, past performance, and price). However, despite this intent, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines they are necessary. If the SSA determines that discussions are necessary, a competitive range shall be established. In the event issues pertaining to this award cannot be resolved to the SSA’s satisfaction, the Government reserves the right to withdraw and cancel the solicitation. In such event, offerors will be notified in writing.

c. Addendum to Paragraph (h) Multiple Awards. Paragraph (h) is changed to read as follows: DoDEA intends to award a single contract as a result of this solicitation. Multiple awards shall not be made as a result of this solicitation.

d. Addendum to Paragraph (l) Debriefing. Paragraph (l) is changed to read as follows: The Offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions. The Contracting Officer (KO) shall notify unsuccessful Offerors of the source selection discussion in accordance with FAR 15.503. 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. Unsuccessful Offerors are only entitled to one debriefing. This includes offerors who submit multiple proposals. However, if discussions are required, the KO 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 in accordance with FAR 15.506.

e. Addendum to Paragraph (b) Submission of Offers: In addition to those requirements as stated in paragraph (b), the following are added and shall apply to the submission requirements in response to this solicitation:

By submission of a proposal, the offeror accedes to all the terms of the RFP. The following instructions are for the preparation and submission of proposals.

Volume I – Technical Proposal (Factor I). The Offeror’s technical proposal volume shall be clear, concise and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims in the offeror’s proposal. The Offeror’s responses will be evaluated against the Factors in FAR Clause 52.212-2 Addendum. Offeror’s are cautioned that “parroting” of the technical requirements of the PWS with a statement of intent to perform does not reflect an understanding of the requirements or the capability to perform. Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the PWS and phrases such as, “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used” etc., will be considered unacceptable. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their technical capabilities and past experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal. Offerors are advised not to individually address each PWS paragraph in their technical capability.

The Offeror’s Technical Proposal shall address the following Factor: Technical Capability

Technical Capability: The Offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly demonstrates the Offeror’s understanding of all PWS objectives and evidence that their proposal meets or exceeds objective requirements.

Volume II – Past Performance Proposal (Factor II)

The past performance evaluation is a comparative assessment of the Offeror’s ability to successfully perform the contract based on the Offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of how well the Offeror performed on previous contracts. The Government will review the information collected, to include, but not limited to the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 7) to determine the quality of the Offeror’s overall record of recent and relevant past performance.

The Offeror shall submit past performance information on at least two (2), but not more than five (5), recent contracts for the prime and subcontractors (performing as the Prime on that effort) to determine the recency and relevancy of the Offeror’s performance. To be recent, the offeror’s contracts listed in the past performance information must be on-going or must have completed within the last three (3) years by the closing date/time of this solicitation. To be relevant, the Offeror must demonstrate that performance involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. The relevancy analysis will focus on if the Offeror has provided custodial services similar in scope, magnitude of effort, and complexities.

Past Performance information submitted that is not recent (more than 3 years) and/or not relevant will not be evaluated.

i. Subcontractor/Teaming Information. If an Offeror proposes a teaming arrangement for services, the Offeror (proposed prime Offeror) shall provide past performance information on any subcontractor or teaming arrangement offered. At a minimum, when a prime Offeror teams with a subcontractor, past performance information relevant to that subcontractor shall be provided on at least one (1) effort. The information required shall be the same as above.

Offerors shall include in their proposal the written consent of their proposed subcontractor(s) to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractor’s past performance assessment with the Offeror.

ii. Questionnaires. Offerors must send Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ), (Attachment 7), to their Customer’s points of contact (POCs) and instruct the POCs to complete the questionnaire in English. Offerors shall make their best effort to send out a sufficient number of past performance questionnaires to reasonably expect submission to the contracting officer at least one questionnaire on each cited contract/work effort. The questionnaire recipient should e-mail completed questionnaires directly to the contract specialist listed on the questionnaire. Past Performance Questionnaires are requested to be received in the issuing office by the closing date/time of the solicitation.

iii. The Government reserves the right to obtain information relative to present and past performance on its own, in addition to information provided by the Offeror and from contract and subcontract POCs. If you are aware that one or more of your contracts in the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) specifically relates to the requirements in this acquisition, please provide this contract/work effort as one of the past performance submissions with your proposal.

Volume III – Price Proposal (Factor III)

The Offeror’s prices shall be complete with an accurate reflection of all aspects of the requirement. Offerors shall submit pricing for the estimated quantities identified in each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) within the RFP.

Volume IV – Representation and Certifications

Offeror’s must provide all applicable business representations and certifications required by the solicitation. Please review all clauses and provisions requiring information from Offerors.

Volume V – Contract Documentation
