The following have been modified:
ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1
INSTRUCTION TO OFFERORS
i. Objectives
The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal represents the best value in accordance with the evaluation criteria identified in the Addendum to 52.212.2, Evaluation Factors for Award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors; however, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary. If discussions are determined necessary, the contracting officer shall establish a competitive range comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals, unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency.
ii. General Instructions
a) Use of Non-Government Advisors.
Non-government personnel will serve as advisors in the evaluation of proposals. Non-Disclosure Agreements have been signed for all Non-government personnel. Non-government advisors are from the MITRE Corporation, which is a not-for-profit company that operates multiple federally funded research and development centers.
b) General Proposal Guidance.
This section of the Information to Offerors provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The offeror's proposal must include all data and information requested by the solicitation and in accordance with these instructions.
The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their capabilities and experience and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.
The offeror shall make a clear statement in the Volume I cover page that the proposal is valid for a minimum of 150 days from the proposal due date.
iii. General Information
a) Points of Contact. The Contracting Officer, Rebecca M. Connor and the Contract Specialist, JaneAnne M. Holten, are the sole points of contact for this procurement. Any questions or concerns shall be addressed in writing only to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist.
b) Debriefings. The Contracting Officer will notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range; at which point, they may submit a written request for a debriefing to the Contracting Officer within 3 days of notification. Offerors may request their debriefing be delayed until after award. Upon such notification of contract award, unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing if submitted within 3 days of notification. Offerors requesting a debriefing must make their request in accordance with FAR 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.
c) Discrepancies. If an offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist in writing. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussions.
d) Electronic Reference Documents. All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Federal Business Opportunities (FedBizOpps) website at http://www.fedbizopps.gov. Potential offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time email notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.
e) Communications. Exchanges of source selection information between the Government and offerors will be controlled by the Contracting Officer and/or Contract Specialist. Exchanges with industry, to include clarifications, communications, and discussions, will be transmitted through email and will be treated as source selection information. Questions will only be addressed if received in email and only when submitted on Attachment 3, Question and Answer Template.
Questions/comments are due no later than 12:00 pm (CST) on May 29, 2019. Questions submitted after the submission deadline may not be answered. The email is to be addressed to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist as follows:
Email Address: rebecca.m.connor2.civ@mail.mil and janeanne.m.holten.civ@mail.mil Attn: Ms. Rebecca Connor and JaneAnne Holten Subject Line Reference: HTC71119RD007, Contractor Name, Source Selection Information See FAR 2.101 and 3.104
All questions/comments provided in a timely manner will be answered in writing and posted to FedBizOpps. The timeframe for submitting questions will not be extended as a result of an extension to the proposal submission deadline, unless authorized by the Contracting Officer.
The Government intends to award without discussions. Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best approach/terms for technical, management, past performance, and price; however, despite this intent, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Source Selection Authority (SSA) determines they are necessary. If the SSA determines that discussions are necessary, a competitive range may be established.

If submitting subcontractor past performance, Offerors are required to submit a letter of consent from principal subcontractor(s) to allow discussion of their past performance. Past performance information pertaining to a subcontractor cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor’s consent. With each proposal, provide a letter from the principal subcontractor(s) performing major or critical aspects of the requirement consenting to release of their past performance information to the prime offeror. The letters of consent do not count towards the page limit for this section.
Include rationale supporting your assertion that the past performance effort meets the definitions of recent and relevant. For a description of the characteristics or aspects the Government will consider in evaluating this information, see the Addendum to 52.212-2: Past Performance Factor.
a) If an offeror submits past performance information for an ID/IQ contract, then the offeror must identify a specific task order under that specific ID/IQ contract.
b) Recent past performance means experience within the last three years from the date of the initial proposal due date.
c) Relevant past performance means providing evidence demonstrating experience with past contracts in similar size and scope.
d) Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the past performance submittals are deemed relevant to the technical evaluation criteria.

The Government will only accept questionnaires from the references listed on Past Performance Reference Sheet Attachment 5. Offerors shall complete the Past Performance Reference Sheet to reflect those individuals requested to complete the questionnaire.
Offerors should request the performance references complete and email the questionnaires directly to the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. Once the questionnaires are completed by the reference POCs, the information contained therein shall be considered sensitive and shall not be released to the offeror. Early submission of the Past Performance Questionnaire Form is encouraged.
d) Volume VI - Cost/Price. This section is to assist in submitting information other than pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and completeness of the proposed price. The Government will verify that all solicitation requirements have been priced, figures correctly calculated, and prices are presented in a clear and useful format.
All information relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Price Volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.
The offeror shall indicate whether the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), or another Federal Audit Agency has determined their firm's accounting system to be adequate and if so, provide evidence of such determination. If not, an explanation as to why they do not have a recent (within the last 3 years from receipt of proposal) review of adequate accounting system shall be provided.
Within the EADE Pricing Template, Attachment 7, all offerors are required to provide fully burdened Fixed Price (FP) labor rates (inclusive of direct and indirect rate burdens, and profit) for all labor categories for both Government Site and Contractor Site for each fiscal year, including the 6-month extension period within the “Labor Rate Table” tab. FAR 52.217-8 which authorizes the Government to require continued performance of any services within the limits and at the rates specified in the contract. These prices shall be identical to the proposed pricing in the six months prior to expiration.
Labor Category Descriptions are included Attachment 8. The qualifications, skills, and experience identified in this attachment are commensurate to the expected level of expertise for this contract.
For cost-reimbursable Other Direct Cost (ODC)/Travel estimates, offerors are provided Government estimated, not-to-exceed, dollar figures.
The total evaluated price will include the sum of all Fiscal years and the six-month extension authorized in FAR 52.217-8.
The labor rates proposed in the EADE Pricing Template will be used as ceiling labor rates for pricing of all future task orders issued under this IDIQ contract. As such, the proposed rates from the EADE Pricing Template will be included in Price Schedule of the awarded ID/IQ contract.
e) Volume VII –Contract Documentation. The purpose of this volume is to provide information to the
Government for preparing the contract document and supporting file. The Offeror's proposal must include a signed copy of the solicitation and completion of all applicable provisions contained in the Standard Form 1449. Required information includes:
1) Table of Contents
2) Soliciation/Contract Requirements

B. Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI)/Mitigation Plan. As required by FAR 9.5, the
Government will ensure no organizational conflicts of interests are present. If any such conflict of interest is found to exist, the Contracting Officer may disqualify the offeror or determine that it is otherwise in the best interest of the Government to contract with the offeror and include the appropriate provisions to avoid, neutralize, mitigate, or waive such conflict in the contract awarded.
The offeror shall provide the Contracting Officer with complete information of any previous or ongoing work that is in any way associated with this acquisition. Offerors shall submit a mitigation plan that addresses actual or perceived conflicts of interest related to the services required by this effort for Government review. The Government will conduct an independent assessment review of any submitted OCI Mitigation Plan to determine if any actual or perceived OCI exists and what further actions are necessary, if any. Additionally, the Government will monitor contract performance for emerging areas of conflict of interest and taken action considered necessary to avoid, neutralize, or mitigate conflicts. If the offeror believes there is no OCI, a statement as such will be included in the cover letter.
C. DD254, DoD Contract Security Classification Specification. Offerors (Prime Contractors) shall have and maintain a valid Facility Security Clearance (FCL) at the Top Secret level at the time of proposal submission. The prime contractor's Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code that is to be associated with the contract award document shall be the same CAGE code associated with the FCL.
