The following have been modified:

52.212-1 ADDENDUM

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFEROR-COMMERICAL ITEMS (ADDENDUM)

Washington Headquarters Services / Acquisition Directorate (WHS/AD) is releasing this solicitation, electronically only, through Federal Business Opportunities (FBO). This Request for Proposal (RFP) is the official version for this acquisition. No hard copy of this solicitation will be issued. Offerors will be notified of any and all applicable amendments to this solicitation electronically through FBO. Offerors shall submit their proposals electronically. Any proposal received after the due date and time specified for receipt will be considered late and will be rejected.

The Government anticipates award of multiple Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts along with Task Orders 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 to the responsible Offeror(s) that submits the best value offer, which means the offer that is most advantageous to the Government based upon the evaluation factors discussed later in this Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government anticipates award of multiple IDIQ contracts in each Functional Category (FC) outlined below:

• FC 1: Security Cooperation Support

• FC 2: AM&E Training*

• FC 3: Evaluations*

• FC 4: Program Management, Budgeting and Staff Augmentation

*Note: FC 2 and FC 3 are designated as small business set-asides, FAR 52.219-6 applies.

Offerors, including prime vendors, subcontractors, joint ventures, consortiums, etc., will not be permitted to submit proposals for award of an IDIQ contract under FC 1 and FC 3, simultaneously, under this solicitation. Offerors, including prime vendors, subcontractors, joint ventures, consortiums, etc., shall clearly identify if they are submitting a proposal for FC 1 or FC 3 using the table in Section B, Administrative Information below. This restriction is included to ensure that evaluations provide an independent review of security cooperation programs, possibly avoiding any conflict of interest from a single Offeror performing both functions. Offerors, including prime vendors, subcontractors, joint ventures, consortiums, etc., are permitted to submit offers for FC 2 and/or FC 4 in addition to FC 1 or FC 3, depending on business size. The Government reserves the right to not evaluate proposals if it is not clear to the Government which functional categories an Offeror is submitting to.

All Offerors must comply with the following instructions for proposal format and content. Proposals that do not comply with these instructions may be deemed nonresponsive and may render the Offeror ineligible for award. The Offeror shall submit documentation illustrating its approach for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation. Proposals must be clear, coherent, and prepared in sufficient detail for effective evaluation of the Offeror’s proposal against the evaluation criteria. The documentation shall address all aspects of this solicitation and include the Offeror’s approach to performing and satisfying the requirements specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS).

The Government intends to award without discussions, but reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined to be in the Government’s best interest

QUESTIONS AND RESPONSES TO AMENDED SOLICITATION

All questions, concerns, or requests for clarification for this RFP shall be submitted electronically to whs.ncr.ad.mbx.essd-security-branch-dsca-idiq@mail.mil by 14 June, 2019, 2:00 PM Eastern Time (ET). No phone calls are permitted. No comments, questions or inquiries shall be made of any Government person other than via the electronic mailbox listed above. Questions received after this date and time may not be responded to by the Government. All emails shall be clearly labeled in the subject line of the email with the RFP Number:

HQ0034-19-R-0142: DSCA AM&E Security Cooperation Support Services Questions. Offerors shall clearly identify the specific section of the solicitation to which each question relates when submitting questions.

Reference should be made to the solicitation Section Heading, page number of the solicitation, and specific location on the page (e.g., third paragraph) in order to facilitate the Government’s response to each question.

Questions shall be submitted in a Microsoft Excel file following a format similar to the table below:
