| competed | on | a | full | and | open | basis. |
A. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. This section of the Information to Offerors provides general guidance for
| preparing | quotes | as | well | as | specific | instructions | on | the | format | and | content | of | the |
| quote. | The | offeror's | quote | must | include | all | data | and | information | requested | by | ||
| the | Request | For | Quote | (RFQ) | and | must | be | submitted | in | accordance | with | these | |
| instructions. | The | offer | must | be | compliant | with | the | requirements | as | stated | in | the | |
| Performance | Work | Statement | (PWS) | and | all | other | sections | of | the | PWS. | Non‐ |
| conformance | with | the | instructions | provided | in | this | Information | to | Offerors | may |
| result | in | removal | of | the | quote | from | further | evaluation. |
| 2. The | quote | shall | be | clear, | concise, | and | include | sufficient | detail | for | effective | |||
| evaluation | and | for | substantiating | the | validity | of | stated | claims. | The | quote | should | |||
| not | simply | rephrase | or | restate | the | Government's | requirements | but | rather | |||||
| provide | convincing | rationale | to | address | how | the | offeror | intends | to | meet | these | |||
| requirements. | Offerors | shall | assume | the | Government | has | no | prior | knowledge | of | ||||
| their | facilities | and | experience. | The | Government | will | base | its | evaluation | on | the | |||
| information | presented | in | the | offeror's | quote. | The | offerors | shall | describe | how | they | |||
| will | support, | manage, | and | complete | each | of | the | tasks | in | the | PWS; | how | they | will |
| provide | the | required | deliverable | products; | and | how | they | will | achieve | the | stated |
requirements.
| 3. The | Government | will | evaluate | the | soundness | of | the | contractor’s | approach | for | ||
| ensuring | that | the | proposed | solution | meets, | or | exceeds | to | the | Government's | ||
| benefit, | the | functional, | technical, | cybersecurity, | telecommunications | and | ||||||
| performance | requirements | in | the | PWS. | The | offeror | will | use | the | PWS, | its | |
| attachments, | and | other | reference | documents | to | prepare | its | quote. |
| 4. Elaborate | brochures | or | documentation, | binding, | detailed | art | work, | or | other |
| embellishments | are | unnecessary | and | are | not | desired. |
| 5. In | accordance | with | FAR | Subpart | 4.8 | (Government | Contract | Files), | the |
| Government | will | retain | an | electronic | copy | of | all | unsuccessful | quotes. |
6. Brief Explanations ‐ IAW 13.106‐3(d) If a supplier requests information on an
| award | that | was | based | on | factors | other | than | price | alone, | a | brief | explanation | of | the |
| basis | for | the | contract | award | decision | shall | be | provided | (see | 15.503(b)(2)). |
7. 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 | (KO) | in | writing | with | supporting | |||||
| rationale | as | well | as | the | remedies | the | offeror | is | asking | the | KO | to | consider | as |
| related | to | the | omission | or | error. | The | offeror | is | reminded | that | the | Government | ||
| reserves | the | right | to | award | this | effort | based | on | the | initial | quote, | as | received, | |
| without | discussions. |

B. VOLUME INSTRUCTIONS
1. VOLUME I – Factor 1: Technical and Management Capability
| Do | not | merely | reiterate | the | objectives | or | reformulate | the | requirements | specified | in | |
| the | solicitation. | By | your | quote | submission, | you | are | representing | that | your | firm | will |
| perform | all | the | requirements | specified | in | the | solicitation. | It | is | not | necessary | or |
| desirable | for | you | to | tell | us | so | in | your | quote. |
| Quotes | shall | demonstrate | the | offeror’s | understanding | of | the | CMPP | program | to |
| include | hardware, | software, | maintenance, | consulting, | and | support | services | as | it | |
| applies | to | DeCA’s | requirements | and | the | offeror’s | approach | to | accomplishing | all |
| tasks | in | this | PWS | and | associated | Appendices. | Provide | information | that | |
| demonstrates | a | level | of | applicable | experience | with | food | processing | plants. |
| The | offeror’s | quote | will | identify | the | specific | hardware | and | software | proposed | to |
| include | adequate | levels | of | redundancy | to | ensure | sustained | performance | levels | and | |
| provide | the | related | specifications | for | DeCA’s | review. | DeCA's | review | shall | not | relieve |
| the | contract | awardee | from | any | contract | terms | and | conditions. |
| The | offeror’s | hardware | configuration | will | include | adequate | levels | of | redundancy | to |
| ensure | required | performance | levels. |
| The | offeror’s | hardware | and | software | solution | shall | meet | or | exceed | the | production |
| capacity | of | the | CMPP, | with | documented | characteristics, | capabilities, | performance, | or | ||
| other | benefits | that | demonstrate | how | the | proposed | hardware | and | software | will | meet |
| or | exceed | DeCA | CMPP | current | production | capacity. |
The offeror shall submit a draft Configuration Management plan. This plan will
| outline | the | approach | to | software | configuration | management | and | hardware | |||||
| configuration | management | throughout | the | life | of | the | contract. | The | offeror | will | |||
| identify | its | baseline | software | and | hardware | configuration | and | equipment | list | ||||
| required | to | support | the | refresh | solution, | including | diagrams | for | DeCA | to | understand | ||
| how | the | hardware | and | software | will | interact | with | each | other, | the | CMPP | users, | and |
| the | DeCA | network. | This | plan will | detail | the | contractor’s | approach | to | maintaining | |||
| DeCA’s | hardware | baseline | as | well | as | providing | future | firmware | releases | at | no | ||
| additional | cost. | If | firmware | cannot | be | updated | to | support | software | functionality | |||
| through | the | life | of | the | contract, | the | contractor | must | identify | how | it | will | replace |
| hardware | at | no | cost | to | DeCA. |
For proposed personnel, the offeror shall show that individuals proposed for each
| labor | category | possess | the | necessary | knowledge, | training, | successful | experience | and | ||||
| appropriate | certifications | to | perform | all | of | the | duties | of | that | position | as | described | in |
| the | Performance | Work | Statement. | The | contractor | shall | submit | résumés | for |
| proposed | personnel. | Page | limit | is | 3 | pages | per | résumé. | Résumés | shall | include, | at | a | |
| minimum, | experience | consistent | with | the | requirements | of | the | PWS. |
| The | offeror | will | submit | a | draft | Training | Plan | that | provides | an | outline | of | training |
| content, | objectives, | dates, | times, | and | timelines | to | get | Government | personnel | trained | |||
| sufficiently | to | be | fully | operational | at | day | one | after | install. |
Provide an initial Transition Plan that:
| (1) | Includes | a | milestone | schedule | detailing | the | ramp | up | with | the | appropriate |
| technical | expertise | including | key | personnel | during | the | transition | period. |
| (2) | Presents | the | approach | to | assuming | responsibility | for | any | on‐going | tasks | to |
| include | maintenance | of | the | existing | solution, | de‐installation | and | disposal | of | the | |
| existing | hardware | and | software, | delivery | and | installation | of | the | new | solution, | and |
| completing | the | transition | to | full | contract | responsibility | by | the | conclusion | of | the |
| transition | period. | The | quoter | shall | identify | all | subcontracting | agreements | |||
| established | in | support | of | these | efforts. |
| (3) | Identifies | the | major | risks | associated | with | the | transition | and | describe | ||
| strategies | to | mitigate | these | risks. | Specifically | address | the | risks | and | mitigation | ||
| associated | with | obtaining | the | necessary | personnel, | facilities, | equipment | and | ||||
| meeting | the | requirement | to | fully | assume | all | responsibilities | at | the | end | of | the |
| Transition | period. |
Address technical/management risk by identifying those aspects of the quote 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). | Propose | a | |||||
| realistic | "work | around" | or | risk | mitigation | for | identified | risks | that | will | eliminate | or | ||
| reduce | risk | to | an | acceptable | level. | Identify | and | classify | any | new | risks | introduced | by | |
| such | risk | mitigation. |
| VOLUME | II | –Factor | 2: | Past | Performance | The | contractor | shall | submit | a | list | of | two, | but |
| no | more | than | three, | relevant | contracts | completed | during | the | past | five | years | that | are | |

| Contracts | listed | may | include | those | entered | into | with | the | Federal | Government, | agencies | |||
| of | state | and | local | governments | and | commercial | concerns. | Contractors | may | also | submit | |||

| have | relevant | experience | or | subcontractors | that | will | perform | major | or | critical | aspects | |||
| of | the | requirement | when | such | information | is | relevant | to | the | acquisition. | For | the | ||
| purposes | of | this | solicitation, | a | major | subcontract | is | defined | as | 20% | of | the | total | contract |
| effort. | Data | concerning | the | prime | contractor | shall | be | provided | first, | followed | by | each |
| proposed | major | subcontractor, | in | alphabetical | order. |
| Along | with | the | information | required | in | this | paragraph, | the | offeror | shall | submit | a | ||
| consent | letter | executed | by | each | subcontractor, | teaming | partner, | and/or | joint | venture | ||||
| partner, | authorizing | release | of | adverse | past | performance | information | to | the | offeror | so | |||
| the | offeror | can | respond | to | such | information. | For | each | identified | effort | for | a | commercial | |
| customer, | the | offeror | shall | also | submit | a | client | authorization | letter, | authorizing | release | |||
| to | the | Government | of | requested | information | on | the | offeror’s | performance. | See | ||||
| Attachment | 1 | ‐ | Client | Authorization | Letter | and | Attachment | 2 | – | |||||

| Past | Performance | Information. | 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. | The | Government | will | use | the | offeror's | explanation | of | why | it | |
| believes | a | specific | contract(s) | (and/or | task | order(s)) | is | relevant | to | the | indicated | tasking | ||
| and | its | own | judgment | to | determine | the | degree | of | relevancy | to | be | considered | in | making |
| the | past | performance | evaluation. |
Section II: Performance
| • | The | contractor | shall | provide | information | on | problems | encountered | on | the | identified | ||
| contracts | and | the | contractor's | corrective | actions. | For | any | contracts/task | orders | that | did | ||
| not/do | not | meet | original | cost, | schedule, | or | technical | performance | requirements, | ||||
| provide | a | brief | explanation | of | the | reasons | for | the | shortcomings | and | any | corrective | |
| actions | taken | to | avoid | recurrence. | The | contractor | shall | list | each | time | the | delivery | |

Section IV: Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQs) – Attachment 4
| The | offeror | shall | initiate | a | Past | Performance | Questionnaire | for | each | of | the | contracts | |||
| used | above. | The | offeror | shall | complete | blocks | 1 | through | 7 | on | the | form | and | then | |
| distribute | the | PPQ | to | a | point | of | contact | (POC) | for | each | of | the | past | performance | |
| references | found | in | the | above | mentioned | project | summaries. | The | offeror | shall | request | ||||
| that | the | owner’s | representative | most | knowledgeable | of | the | project | complete | block | 8 | on | |||

| quoter | will | receive | a | neutral | past | performance | rating. |
| The | Government | is | not | required | to | contact | all | references | provided | by | the | contractor. | |
| Also, | references | other | than | those | identified | by | the | contractor | may | be | contacted | by | the |
| Government | to | obtain | additional | information | that | will | be | used | in | the | evaluation | of | the |
| contractor's | past | performance. | The | Government | may | consider | past | performance | |||||
| information | obtained | through | other | sources | which | is | reasonably | available | and | ||||
| determined | to | be | relevant. | Past | performance | information | evaluated | will | be | used | for | ||
| both | the | responsibility | determination | and | best | value | decision. |

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)
(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:
Evaluation Approach
A. BASIS FOR AWARD
| This | solicitation | will | be | conducted | under | the | authority | of | FAR | 12 | and | 13.5, | Simplified | |||
| Procedures | for | Certain | Commercial | Items. | A | best | value | trade‐off | process | technique | will | be | ||||
| used. | The | Government | plans | to | award | one | contract | to | the | responsible | offeror | whose | quote | |||
| is | determined | to | be | the | best | value | to | the | government. | All | aspects | of | the | Performance | Work | |
| Statement | (PWS), | Appendices, | and | attachments | must | be | sufficiently | addressed | in | an | ||||||
| offeror’s | quote | to | be | considered | for | award. |
| Award | will | be | made | based | on | an | integrated | assessment | by | the | Contracting | Officer | between | |
| and | among | price | and | non‐price | factors. | The | Contracting | Officer | may | conduct | comparative | |||
| evaluations | of | quotes in | accordance | with | FAR | 12.602(b). | The | non‐price | factors | are | 1) | |||
| Technical | Solution | and | Management | and | 2) | Past | Performance. | Award | may | be | made | to | ||
| other | than | the | lowest | priced | offeror, | if | the | Government | determines | that | a | price | premium | is |
| warranted | due | to | merits | of | one | or | more | of | the | non‐price | factors. |
| It | is | imperative | that | offerors | respond | directly | to | each | area | specified | and | ensure | their |
| quotes | are | submitted | on | the | most | favorable | terms, | since | quotes | showing | less | than | their |
| best | potential | could | result | in | exclusion | of | the | quote | from | further | consideration. | Responses | |
| which | merely | repeat | the | Performance | Work | Statement | (PWS) | cannot | be | considered | as | ||
| being | responsive | to | the | requirements | of | the | solicitation. | Assurances | of | experience, | |||
| capability | or | qualifications, | without | a | clear | demonstration | to | support | the | claim, | may | ||
| adversely | influence | the | evaluation | of | the | quote. |
| Establishing | a | competitive | range, | conducting | discussions, | and | scoring | quotations | or | offers | |||||
| are | not | required. | However, | at | its | discretion, | the | Government | reserves | the | right | to | conduct | ||
| discussions, | if | necessary. | The | Government | may | reject | any | or | all | quotes | if | such | action | is | in |
| the | public | interest; | and | waive | informalities | and | minor | irregularities | in | quotes | received. |
B. ACQUISITION APPROACH
| This | will | be | a | hybrid | Firm | Fixed | Price | (FFP) | and | Labor | Hours | (LH) | contract, | which | will | be |
| advertised | and | posted | on | FedBizOpps | in | accordance | with | FAR | 12 | and | 13.5. | The | ||||
| Government | contemplates | a | single | award | for | the | CMPP | Technical | Refresh; | however, | the | |||||
| Government | reserves | the | right | to | make | no | award | at | all. |
C. FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED
| This | outlines | the | Evaluation | Criteria | the | Government | will | consider | in | evaluating | the | |||
| offeror's | capabilities | and | the | quotes | submitted | in | response | to | the | solicitation. | The | |||
| Evaluation | Criteria | are | intended | to | show | the | scope | of | the | evaluation | to | be | performed | on |
| quotes | submitted | in | response | to | the | RFQ. |
| Offerors | are | again | cautioned | to | submit | sufficient | information, | in | the | format | specified | in | the |
| Instructions | to | Offerors, | to | enable | the | evaluator(s) | to | fully | ascertain | each | offeror's | ||
| capability | to | perform | all | the | requirements | contemplated | by | this | solicitation | because | each | ||
| quote | will | be | evaluated | strictly | in | accordance | with | its | contents | and | evaluators | will | not |
| assume | that | performance | includes | areas | not | specified | in | the | offeror’s | quote. |
| The | quote | must | clearly | demonstrate | that | the | offeror | has | a | thorough | understanding | of | and |
| the | capacity | to | satisfy | those | technical | requirements | established | in | the | PWS. | The | offeror | |
| must | demonstrate | an | identifiable | approach | incorporating | the | appropriate | skill, | knowledge, | ||||
| and | experience | to | provide | the | government | the | best | value | through | completion | of | the | tasks |
| in | accordance | with | the | PWS. |
| The | Contracting | Officer | will | select | the | awardee | based | upon | the | following | evaluation | ||
| factors. | The | Technical | and | Management | factor | is | more | important | than | the | Past | ||
| performance | factor, | which | is | more | important | than | the | Price | factor. | All | evaluation | factors | |
| other | than | Price, | when | combined, | are | significantly | more | important | than | Price. |
The evaluation factors are:
| Technical | and | Management(Factor | 1) |
| Past | Performance | (Factor | 2) |
| Price | (Factor | 3) |
D. EVALUATION FACTORS
Non‐Price Factors
| Factor | 1: | Technical | and | Management. | Evaluate | the | soundness, | completeness, | and | ||||||
| adequacy | of | the | offeror’s | proposed | technical | solution. | Evaluate | the | offeror’s | quote | to | ||||
| determine | the | extent | to | which | the | technical | approach | demonstrates | an | understanding | of | ||||
| the | scope | and | complexity | of | the | solicitation | and | its | approach | to | accomplishing, | or | |||
| exceeding | to | the | Government's | benefit, | tasks | in | all | the | areas | identified | in | the | PWS | Tasks | |
| 7.1 | – | 7.7 | and | Appendixes | A‐D. | All | requirements | within | each | category | will | be | evaluated. | ||
| The | Government | will | evaluate | the | adequacy | of | the | offeror’s | quote | to | demonstrate | an | |||
| understanding | of | the | functional | and | technical | requirements | and | present | a | sound, | rational | ||||
| solution | to | the | functional | and | technical | requirements | according | to | the | following | : | technical | |||
| and | functional | approach | and | management | approach. | The | offeror | should | read | all | referenced | ||||
| documents | in | their | entirety | to | adequately | address | the | requirements. |
| Must | Address: | Technical | and | Functional | Approach. | Evaluate | offerors | ability | to | ||||
| successfully | perform | on | the | contract | and | meet, | or | exceed | to | the | Government's | ||
| benefit, | all | requirements | of | the | PWS | and | Appendices | and | the | extent | to | which | |
| potential | disruptions | are | identified | and | work‐arounds | proposed. | The | standard | will | ||||
| be | met | when | a | quote | provides | a | feasible | approach | to | fulfilling | the | requirements | in |
| the | PWS | and | includes | a | responsive, | realistic | transition | plan. | It | will | be | evaluated | to |
| determine | whether | it | presents | a | clear, | reasoned | approach | to | assuming | |||
| responsibility | for | any | on‐going | tasks | and | completing | the | transition | to | full | contract | |
| responsibility | by | the | conclusion | of | the | transittion | period. | All | quotes | will | be | |
| evaluated | in | terms | of | the | following: |
Understanding of the Work ‐ The extent to which it demonstrates a clear
| understanding | of | all | features | involved | in | solving | the | problems | and | meeting, | or |
| exceeding | to | the | Government's | benefit, | the | requirements | presented | in | the | PWS. |
| Feasibility | of | Approach | ‐ | The | level | of | confidence | that | the | contractor's | methods | and |
| approach | will | be | successful | within | the | required | schedule. |
| Completeness | – | The | extent | to | which | the | contractor’s | quote | has | adequately | and |
| completely | considered, | defined, | and | satisfied, | or | exceeded | to | the | Government's | ||
| benefit, | the | requirements | specified | in | the | solicitation. |
Must Address: Management Approach. Evaluate the soundness, completeness,
| and | adequacy | of | the | offeror’s | proposed | management | approach | for | sustaining | the | ||||
| existing | environment, | and | delivering, | maintaining, | and | managing | the | refreshed | ||||||
| CMPP | solution | as | reflected | in | the | offeror | provided | quote. | The | Government | will | |||
| evaluate | the | adequacy | of | the | offeror’s | quote | to | demonstrate | an | understanding | of | the | ||
| solicitation | requirements | and | present | a | sound, | rational | solution. | The | standard | will | ||||
| be | met | when | the | contractor’s | proposed | key | personnel | possess | the | necessary | ||||
| knowledge, | training, | successful | experience | and | appropriate | certifications | to | perform | ||||||
| all | of | the | duties | of | that | position | as | described | in | the | PWS | to | include | required |
certifications.
| Factor | 2: | Past | Performance. | The | Government | will | assess | the | offeror’s | capability | to | ||||
| perform | under | the | CMPP | contract | by | evaluating | the | offeror’s | past | performance | as | a | prime | ||
| contractor | on | comparable | projects. | Only | past | performance | data | regarding | similar | efforts | |||||
| either | completed | within | the | last | five | years | or | ongoing | will | be | evaluated. | The | absence | of | |
| relevant | past | performance | information | will | result | in | the | assignement | of | a | a | “neutral” | |||
| confidence | rating. | Complex | integrated | retail | grocery | business | solutions | or | major | meat | |||||
| processing | will | be | rated | higher | than | projects | of | lesser | size, | scope, | and | complexity. | The | ||
| Government | may | consider | all | relevant | past | performance. |
| Must | Address: | Cost | Control. | Evaluate | the | offeror’s | ability | to | deliver | a | solution | at | |||
| an | agreed | price | or | cost. | Evaluate | the | cause | of | any | variances | in | the | award | amounts | |
| and | the | amounts | at | completion | (or | estimated | to | complete) | to | determine | the | extent | |||
| to | which | the | offeror | controlled | project | costs. |
Must Address: Schedule. Evaluate the offeror’s timeliness in the completion of
| the | contract, | task | orders, | milestones, | delivery | schedules, | installation | and | de‐ | ||
| installation, | and | administrative | requirements. | Examine | the | cause | of | any | schedule | ||
| variances | to | determine | the | extent | to | which | the | offeror | delivered | on | time. |
Must Address: Mission Requirements. Evaluate the offeror’s ability to meet the customer’s mission requirements. Performance will be examined to determine
| whether | the | offeror | was | able | to | provide | integration | and | coordination | of | all |
| activities | needed | to | execute | the | contract | to | satisfy | the | customer’s | requirements. |
Must Address: Quality. Evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated conformance to
| contract | requirements, | specifications, | and | standards | of | good | workmanship | (such | as |
| commonly | accepted | technical, | professional, | environmental, | and | safety | and | health |
standards).
Must Address: Management. Evaluate the offeror’s performance in selecting,
| retaining, | supporting, | and | replacing, | when | necessary, | key | personnel. | Evaluate | the | ||
| offeror’s | ability | to | award | and | manage | subcontracts | and | overall | ability | to | provide |
| management | of | contracts. |
Must Address: Business Relations. Evaluate the offeror’s ability to integrate and
| coordinate | all | activities | needed | to | execute | the | contract, | specifically | the | timeliness, |
| completeness, | and | quality | of | problem | identification; | corrective | action | plans; | ||
| proposal | submittals; | and | history | of | reasonable | and | cooperative | behavior, | customer | |
| satisfaction, | and | timely | award | and | management | of | subcontracts. |
| Factor | 3: | Price. | Price | will | not | be | evaluated | adjectivally | or | assigned | a | score. | The | total | ||||
| price | for | all | FFP | CLINS | will | be | added | to | the | sum | for | the | labor | hours | CLINs | (not | to | exceed |
| 100 | hours | x | proposed | labor | rate) | to | determine | the | offeror's | total | price. | The | Government | |||||
| will | evaluate | the | offeror’s | total | price | for | fairness | and | reasonableness | in | relation | to | this | |||||
| RFQ’s | requirements. Price | will | be | evaluated | using | various | price | analysis | techniques | and | ||||||||
| procedures | IAW | FAR | 13.106‐3(a). |
(b) Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.
