Cell inputs shall only be numeric and rounded to the nearest two decimal positions (e.g., $2.50). Alternations, formula adjustments, cell formatting, adding terms and conditions, etc. may result in an offer being deemed nonresponsive. If the offeror uses this method to submit their pricing proposal, suspense dates are as follows:

The offeror shall upload the pricing spreadsheet by selecting “Upload Modified Solicitation” by 30 July 2018. If offeror fails to upload the pricing spreadsheet by 30 July 2018, the offer shall utilize the alternative methods identified in paragraphs (12)(iii)(A)(1)(i) and (12)(iii)(A)(1)(ii) above.

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

mailto:nicole.d.swoboda@mail.mil mailto:tricia.a.weis.civ@mail.mil mailto:nathan.r.filson.mil@mail.mil

(1) BUSINESS PROPOSAL– PROPOSAL COMPLIANCE

(2) PRICE

This acquisition is a competitive best value source selection. The Government will utilize FAR Part 15, Source Selection, Department of Defense Source Selection Procedures as implemented on 1 April 2016, and the provisions contained within the Request for Proposal (RFP) to evaluate offers and determine the best value. Contracts will be awarded to Offerors whose proposals have been determined acceptable under the Business Proposal, who have proposed fair and reasonable prices, and who have been determined responsible.

In order to be eligible for award, the offeror must participate in the Civil Reserve Air Fleet (CRAF) program. With submission of its offer, the offeror accedes to the terms and conditions included in the solicitation and agrees to comply in all material respects with the requirements of law and regulation to perform all requirements included in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Failure to meet a solicitation requirement may result in a proposal being determined non-compliant and therefore, may result in the Offeror being eliminated from further consideration.

Government intends to award multiple Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts to provide Government shippers flexibility of choice and service coverage.

To arrive at a source selection decision, the SSA will perform an integrated assessment of the source selection team’s evaluation of the factors described below.

(1) Factor 1 – Business Proposal.

a. The Business Proposal contains one factor, Proposal Compliance. The evaluation team shall evaluate the business proposals on pass/fail basis, assigning ratings of Acceptable or Unacceptable as defined below. To be rated acceptable, the Offerors shall submit all documents and information required to be submitted under the Proposal Preparation Instructions in Addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-1. Additionally, the offeror must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) prior to award. An authorized official of the firm shall sign the offer and all certifications. All Business Proposal’s rated unacceptable may not be considered for award.

RATING DEFINITION

Acceptable Proposal meets the Government’s minimum requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal fails to meet the Government’s minimum requirements.

(2) Factor 2 – Price

a. To determine the proposed transportation rates, accessorial rates, and escalation rates are fair and reasonable, the Government will perform a price analysis using one or more techniques set forth in FAR 15.404-1(b)(2). Proposed rates that cannot be determined fair and reasonable will not be awarded. During contract administration, contractors will be permitted to provide service only for those routes in which they have an awarded rate.

b. The offeror’s proposed rates shall be effective 1 April 2019 through 30 September 2020 with two rate adjustments effective 1 October 2020 and 1 October 2021.

(b) Options. This solicitation does not include option periods. In the event the Option to Extend Services, under FAR 52.217-8, is employed, rates for the period 1 October 2021 through 30 September 2022 will be utilized.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror(s) 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.
