(End of Addendum)

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-2

FAR 52.212-2 is amended in its entirety as follows:

(a) The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers.

(1) Technical

(i) Subfactor 1 - Technical Approach

(ii) Subfactor 2 – Aircraft Technical Capability

(iii) Subfactor 3 - FAA Certification Documentation

(iv) Subfactor 4 - Proof of Aircraft Ownership

(v) Subfactor 5 –Operational Date

(vi) Subfactor 6 – Information Assurance & Cyber Security

(2) Past Performance

(3) Price

(4) Fly America Act Preference

Basis of Award. The Government intends to award one (1) Firm-Fixed Price IDIQ contract with a Fixed Price –

Economic Price Adjustment (FP-EPA) CLIN and a Cost Reimbursables CLIN resulting from this solicitation. This acquisition will be conducted as a Best Value, Performance-Price Trade-off (PPT) source selection IAW FAR Parts

12, 15.101-1, trade-off process, and DoD source selection procedures. The objective of the source selection will be to select the offeror that represents the best value to the Government considering price and non-price factors. Award will be made to the offeror who (1) is deemed responsible IAW FAR Part 9, (2) is DOD Approved pursuant to HQ

AMC Commercial Airlift Division (AMC/A3B) standards as stated (3) is the entity that will operate the aircraft under this contract, (4) submits all documents and accurate information as required by the Solicitation, and (5) and who is evaluated based on their past performance and total evaluated price, to represent the best value to the

Government. Non-priced factors are approximately equal to price. This may result in award to a higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors and the Source Selection Authority

(SSA) reasonably determines that the superior past performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference. However, the Government will not pay a price premium that it considers to be disproportionate to the benefits associated with the proposed margin of service superiority.

(1) Part I - Technical. Each offeror’s Technical Proposal will be evaluated on an Acceptable or

Unacceptable basis at the subfactor level. Offeror’s proposals must receive an Acceptable rating under all of the following technical subfactors in order to be considered for award:

(i) Technical Subfactor 1 – Technical Approach: To be rated acceptable the offeror’s proposed technical approach must clearly describe the techniques, procedures and programs required for achieving the objectives of the specifications/Performance Work Statement (PWS). The proposed approach effectively demonstrates the offeror’s ability to comply with the PWS requirements, specifically requirements identified in Section 1 (1.1 - 1.1.3, 1.2.1 – 1.2.5, and 1.9) of the PWS.

(ii) Technical Subfactor 2 – Aircraft Technical Capability: To be rated acceptable the aircraft type proposed must clearly meet the minimum requirements as outlined in the PWS requirements for both aircraft.

(iii) Technical Subfactor 3 – FAA Certification Documentation: To be rated acceptable the offeror’s FAA or CAA Certification Documentation must be current and complete demonstrating their ability to comply with the FAA or CAA requirements of this solicitation.

(iv) Technical Subfactor 4 – Proof of Aircraft Ownership: To be rated acceptable the offeror’s signed agreement for each aircraft must be current, binding upon both parties, and demonstrate their ability to provide aircraft available for the contract period of performance.

(v). Technical Subfactor 5 – Operational Date: To be rated acceptable the offeror must submit confirmation two aircraft will be operational and ready to conduct missions in Africa on 28

December 2013 based on a 26 Nov 13 contract award date.

(vi). Technical Subfactor 6 - Information Assurance & Cyber Security - To be rated Acceptable, the offeror must submit an Information Assurance Report that describes their environment for adequately safeguarding DOD non-public information resident on or transiting on the contractor's unclassified information systems from unauthorized access and disclosure AND address the SANS

(SysAdmin, Audit, Network, Security) Institute's Twenty Critical Security Controls for Effective

Cyber Defense: Consensus Audit Guidelines (http://www.sans.org/critical-security-controls).

The offeror’s Technical Proposal will be assigned a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable as shown below in accordance with the Technical Requirements outlined in the PWS.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

http://www.sans.org/critical-security-controls

(2) Part II - Past Performance. Each Offeror will be evaluated as a measure of the Government’s confidence in the offeror’s ability to successfully perform the requirements of the solicitation based on recent past performance efforts. The government will consider recent past performance information identified by each offeror, as well as any additional past performance information obtained by the

Government, in determining an overall past performance confidence assessment rating for each offeror.

The purpose of the past performance evaluation is to allow the Government to assess the offeror’s ability to perform the effort described in this RFP, based on the offeror’s demonstrated present and past performance.

Each Past Performance effort will be evaluated on the basis of recency and relevancy.

The Government will begin its evaluation by first determining the recency and the relevancy of each past performance effort being evaluated. To be considered a recent effort, the effort must be currently on-going, or have been completed within 3 years of proposal submission.

The following definitions will be utilized to determine the relevancy of each past performance effort:

RATING DESCRIPTION

Very Relevant (VR) Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Relevant (R) Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Somewhat Relevant (SR) Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant (NR) Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

After the Government has determined the recency and relevancy of each past performance effort being evaluated, one of the following Past Performance Confidence Assessment ratings will be assigned to each offeror:

RATING DESCRIPTION

Substantial Confidence

Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral) No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

Offerors with no recent/relevant performance record shall receive the rating “Unknown Confidence” meaning the rating is treated neither favorably nor unfavorably.

In evaluating past performance, relevancy in regard to scope and magnitude of effort and complexity will be assessed based on, but not limited to, the similarities between a given past performance effort and this solicitation in terms of performing fixed-wing passenger, cargo, and combined service in a remote location.

“Past performance information shall be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), Federal Awardee

Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the

Defense Contract Management Agency.”

Offerors are cautioned to submit sufficient information and in the format specified in 52.212-1. Offerors may be asked to clarify certain aspects of their proposal (for example, the relevance of past performance information) or respond to adverse past performance information to which the offeror has not previously had an opportunity to respond. Adverse past performance is defined as past performance information that supports a less than satisfactory rating on any evaluation element or any unfavorable comments received from sources without a formal rating system.

(3) Part III - Price. The Government will determine whether the proposed unit prices for all CLINs are fair and reasonable. The fair and reasonable determination will be accomplished by conducting a price analysis using one or more of the techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b). The MAX AMOUNT for each CLIN will be determined by multiplying the MAX QUANTITY identified in the SF 1149 CONTINUATION SHEET by the proposed UNIT PRICE for each CLIN. Consistent with FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, the 6-month extension will be evaluated using the UNIT PRICES included in Task Order Five. The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for each offeror will be the summation of the MAX AMOUNT for each CLIN plus the 6-month extension. Finally, the Government will determine whether the proposed TEP for each offeror is fair and reasonable.

(4) Part IV – Fly America Act Preference. Offers shall be evaluated to determine the Fly America Act Preference participant category. Fly America Act Preference participant categories will be assigned as follows (listed in order from highest priority to lowest priority):

Category 1. US Flagged Aircraft

Category 2. Foreign Flag Aircraft

If a Category 1 offeror is not available to fulfill the Government’s requirement, the Government will make an award to the reasonably available Category 2 (Foreign Flag) offeror that is considered to be the best value to the Government.

(b) If the lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror is a DOD CARB Approved contractor, receives a Category 1

Fly America Act Preference and a Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of Substantial Confidence, that offeror represents the best value to the Government and the evaluation stops at that point. No trade-off will be made and award will be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offerors.

(c) In the event that the government does not make an award pursuant to paragraph (b) above, the next lowest-priced technically acceptable offeror who is a DOD CARB Approved contractor and receives a Category 1 Fly

America Act Preference Act will be evaluated and the process will continue (in order by price) until an offeror receives a Past Performance Confidence Assessment rating of Substantial Confidence or until all offerors are evaluated. The Government will then conduct an integrated assessment of all offers evaluated and will make a best value decision considering all evaluation criteria. Award will be made to the offeror determined to provide the best value to the Government.

(d) The offerors’ proposed rates shall be effective for the contract period of performance. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by evaluating the TEP as calculated above. Evaluation of Task Orders shall not obligate the Government to exercise the Task Orders. If the Government extends the contract pursuant to FAR

52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, such extension shall be at the rates proposed under the last Task Order.

(e) 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.
