SECTION H - Special Contract Requirements

H.1 DORMANT ACCOUNT REVIEW-QUARTERLY PARTICIPATION

The Dormant Account Review, Quarterly (DAR-Q) process, is the Department of Defense (DoD) requirement to increase the Department’s and NGA’s ability to use available appropriations before they expire and ensure remaining open obligations are valid and liquidated before the cancellation of the appropriation. NGA disseminates and receives DAR-Q information to and from NGA’s Industry Partners using the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) unclassified Acquisition Research Center (ARC) website. NGA provides consolidated lists of lines of accounting for validation, of which contractor participation is mandatory.

Contractors holding NGA contracts and/or orders are required to support the NGA DAR-Q process. Each contractor must select two points of contact (POCs) to establish and maintain active accounts on the unclassified NRO ARC at https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/pgi/pgi_htm/current/PGI204_71.htm#payment_instructions https://acq.westfields.net.

Contractor POCs use the following information to register:

1.) Full name;

2.) SSN (Optional);

3.) Unclassified email address;

4.) DUNS number; and 5.) Unclassified telephone number.

From the https://acq.westfields.net homepage, click on “Register” in the upper-right-hand corner of the page; follow the instructions, and enter the requested data. Although not required for DAR-Q compliance, POCs possessing a classified email account may enter that information during registration to also create a classified ARC account.

POCs should be aware that account activation requires the registered user to validate the account by email within 24 hours of registration. Questions or problems related to the website or the registration process should be directed to the unclassified Acquisition Center of Excellence (ACE) Help IT Desk at 703-230-6300 or acehelpdesk@westfields.net.

NGA will conduct quarterly DAR-Q reviews in accordance with the DoD Financial Management Regulations (FMR). Contractors with dormant Unliquidated Obligations appearing on any specific quarterly DAR-Q review will be notified via the NRO ARC. Once notified, contractor POCs are required to validate and upload the contractors’ responses, including supporting documentation, to the NRO ARC by the due date set forth in the relevant timelines outlined by NGA and the FMR.

SECTION M - Evaluation Factors for Award

M.1 Evaluation Factors for Award

Evaluation Factors for Award

The Government intends to award based upon a Best Value Trade-Off evaluation utilizing Technical and Price. Following receipt of proposal, the Government will evaluate the Technical factor and Price factor to determine the best value for the Government. Relative Importance of the Factors: Factors are listed in Table A in order of importance. The Technical factor is significantly more important than the Price factor.

Note: All sub-factors listed below are of equal importance.

Responses to this RFP will be evaluated against the following factors and sub-factors in Table A:

TABLE A: EVALUTION FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS

Vol. Factor Sub-Factor Title

I 1.0 Technical

I 1.1 Vessel Detection and AIS Identification

I 1.2 Coverage

I 1.3 Delivery of Vessel Detection Through Hosted Software

I 1.4 API Access and Integration to USG COP

II 2.0 Price Price Sheet

Factor 1: Technical

This factor evaluates the Offeror’s technical capabilities as detailed in the SOW. The Offeror’s proposal will convey and demonstrate its understanding of the SOW requirements.

Each sub-factor as defined below will be evaluated for strengths and weakness (see Table B)

Sub-Factor 1.1: Vessel Detection and AIS Identification Ability to identify and classify common vessel types derived from EO/SAR imagery (ref. SOW Sections 3.1.1 thru 3.1.9) at least 95% of the time and correctly associate AIS data with vessel detections with at least 95% accuracy (ref. SOW Section 6.1 Performance Requirements Summary Table).

Sub-Factor 1.2: Coverage Ability to provide broad area search across millions of square kilometers of open ocean, from coastline and outward over time (ref. SOW Section 3.2). The larger the coverage, the more opportunity for favorable ratings.

Sub-Factor 1.3: Delivery of Vessel Detections Through Hosted Software Ability to provide near real-time delivery of vessel detections (ref. SOW Sections 3.3.1 thru 3.3.6) through a commercially hosted user interface (ref. SOW Section 4.2.1).

Sub-Factor 1.4: API Access and Integration to USG COP Ability to provide API access with 99.9% availability and integration to the USG COP of choice (ref. SOW Sections

4.1.2 and 6.1).

Table B. Degrees of Strengths and Weaknesses

Moderate Strength (+ +)

An aspect of an Offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be moderately advantageous to the Government during contract performance (and/or may moderately decrease the risk of unsuccessful contract performance).

Slight Strength (+)

An aspect of an Offeror's proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will be slightly advantageous to the Government during contract performance (and/or may slightly decrease the risk of unsuccessful contract performance).

Meets the Standard (MTS) Offeror’s approach meets the standard. No strengths or weaknesses can be identified.

Slight Weakness (-) A flaw in the proposal that slightly increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Moderate Weakness (- -) A flaw in the proposal that moderately increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Significant Weakness (- - -) A flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

Deficiency
