L-204-H003 NOTIFICATION OF USE OF NAVY SUPPORT CONTRACTORS FOR OFFICIAL CONTRACT

FILES (NAVSEA) (APR 2019)

(a) NAVSEA may use a contractor to manage official contract files hereinafter referred to as "the support contractor", including the official file supporting this procurement. These official files may contain information that is considered a trade secret, proprietary, business sensitive or otherwise protected pursuant to law or regulation, hereinafter referred to as “protected information”. File management services consist of any of the following:

secretarial or clerical support; data entry; document reproduction, scanning, imaging, or destruction; operation, management, or maintenance of paper-based or electronic mail rooms, file rooms, or libraries; and supervision in connection with functions listed herein.

(b) The cognizant Contracting Officer will ensure that any NAVSEA contract under which these file management services are acquired will contain a requirement that

(1) The support contractor not disclose any information,

(2) Individual employees are to be instructed by the support contractor regarding the sensitivity of the official contract files,

(3) The support contractor performing these services be barred from providing any other supplies and/or services, or competing to do so, to NAVSEA for the period of performance of its contract and for an additional three years thereafter unless otherwise provided by law or regulation; and,

(4) In addition to any other rights the Offeror may have, it is a third party beneficiary who has the right of direct action against the support contractor, or any person to whom the support contractor has released or disclosed Protected Information, for the unauthorized duplication, release, or disclosure of such Protected Information.

(c) Submission of a proposal will be considered as consent to NAVSEA's permitting access to any information, irrespective of restrictive markings or the nature of the information submitted, by its file management support contractor for the limited purpose of executing its file support contract responsibilities.

(d) NAVSEA may, without further notice, enter into contracts with other contractors for these services. Offerors are free to enter into separate non-disclosure agreements with the file support contractor. Contact the Procuring Contracting Officer for contractor specifics. However, any such agreement will not be considered a prerequisite before information submitted is stored in the files or otherwise encumber the Government.

L-209-H009 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL OR PERSONAL CONFLICT(S) OF

INTEREST (NAVSEA) (APR 2022)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either as a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to NUWCDIVNPT Code 25 Virginia Class and Columbia Class programs in the areas of Non-Propulsion Electronic Systems (NPES) weapons systems and associated interfacing systems including sonar, combat control, external communications systems, imaging, electronic warfare systems, navigation; Payload Integration and Test and Evaluation (T&E); and VA submarine Payload Module utilization , or related laboratories (if applicable), in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (OCI) or similar requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an OCI or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with FAR subpart 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI or similar requirement.

(b) Offerors also are reminded that certain potential conflicts of interest may arise where an Offeror has unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor that may provide the Offeror with an unfair competitive advantage and preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either of the individual, subcontractor or prime contractor under this competitive procurement. For example, a potential conflict may arise if former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror may have gained access to nonpublic information about a competitor through participation in previous or ongoing performance or during the solicitation development/source selection process associated with this competitive procurement, and then participates in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal. Other potential conflicts of interest may arise where either the former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror under this competitive procurement set the ground rules for competition; for example, by drafting specifications or assisting in the drafting of the statement of work. General guidance may be found in FAR 3.101 and 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive.

(c) If an Offeror identifies a potential conflict of interest that exists at any tier, that Offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract or previous source selection’s solicitation number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work and technical instruction from the existing contract, as applicable; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a brief description of the individual’s, subcontractor’s, or teaming partner’s unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor, which may lead to a conflict of interest in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal, or establishment of ground rules for this competitive procurement, as applicable; (6) an OCI mitigation plan, as applicable; and (7) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the Offeror. The requirement to identify potential conflicts of interest as outlined herein continues until contract award. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(d) The Government will notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk regardless of whether the Government determines a personal or organizational conflict of interest does or does not exist.

(e) Any potential prime contractor which proposes an individual, subcontractor, or teaming partner later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible individual, subcontractor or teaming partner. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(f) If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational and/or personal conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.

L-211-H001 UPDATES TO PERIOD OF PERFORMANCE AND DELIVERY DATES (NAVSEA) (JUN

2022) For proposal purposes the estimated date of contract, task order, or delivery order award is 09 May 2026. The government reserves the right to award sooner or later if necessary. The delivery dates and/or period of performance start and end dates in Section F will be updated at award based upon actual contract, task order, or delivery order award date.

The estimated data prices shall be developed only from those costs which will be incurred as a direct result of the requirement to supply the data, over and above those costs which would otherwise be incurred in performance of the contract if no data were required. The entry “N/C” for “no charge” will be acceptable. The estimated price shall not include any amount for rights in data. The Government’s rights to use the data shall be governed by the pertinent provisions of the contract.

http://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/WarfareCenters/NUWCNewport/Partnerships/CommercialContracts/Information eCraft/CostPriceAnalyst.aspx. Select Cost Analysis Spreadsheet from that page. Spreadsheets, either in the format above or contractor format, shall contain intact formulas used to calculate any aspect of the proposal (i.e. burdened labor rates, fee, etc.). Spreadsheets provided without intact formulas are unacceptable and may render an offeror’s proposal ineligible for award. Offerors shall propose all pricing, including supporting spreadsheets and backup data in terms of US dollars as this is how the contract will be awarded. The offeror shall supply the most currently available rates for direct labor, overhead, general and administrative expense, and any other factors used in developing the proposal. The offeror shall submit any information reasonably required to explain the estimating process and basis of the proposed rates and factors, including:

(1) Direct Labor Costs:

(A) Direct Labor Rates. Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall describe the basis of estimate for each direct labor rate proposed and provide substantiating information that fully corroborates each direct labor rate proposed.

For each current employee named in the cost proposal spreadsheet, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide a screenshot that captures pertinent information from the employer's payroll system, incurred within the last three months preceding release of this solicitation. Payroll screenshots shall not contain any personally identifiable information, such as, social security numbers, date and place of birth, etc. Cost proposal narratives shall fully explain all pertinent data on a screenshot. The Government must be able to derive the individual’s direct rate (both inclusive and exclusive of the impact of uncompensated overtime, if proposed) from the payroll screenshot. Alternatively, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors may provide payroll verification instead of payroll screenshots. Payroll verification shall consist of a form containing the named personnel, proposed labor category, direct labor rate, certification status (per labor category as required), description of current position, and a signed certification by an authorized representative of the company that the information contained in the form is correct and current within the last three months preceding release of this solicitation. This supporting direct labor rate information shall clearly map to individual direct labor rates included within the cost proposal spreadsheet.

For each contingent hire in the cost proposal spreadsheet, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall clearly indicate named contingent hires and shall provide a signed letter of intent that explicitly lists the agreed upon annual salary for the named individual and the amount of uncompensated work required. The cost proposal narrative shall fully explain all pertinent data about the letter of intent. The Government must be able to derive the individual’s direct rate (both inclusive and exclusive of the impact of uncompensated overtime, if proposed) from the letter of intent information.

For any position for which no candidate has been identified by name, Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide payroll data for a comparable position and an analysis of how the proposed position is comparable to the position corresponding to the payroll data supplied.

Describe how the adjusted hourly rate was derived while clearly demonstrating the reasonableness and realism. Describe the company’s historical levels of uncompensated overtime incurred previously and provide substantiating historical data that corroborates the adjusted hourly rates proposed.

(3) Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) or Forward Pricing Rate Recommendation (FPRR). Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall indicate whether an FPRA or FPRR has been established for their company and the extent it was used in establishing proposed costs. If an FPRA/FPRR exists, a copy shall be provided within the cost proposal narrative.

(4) Escalation. Support for any proposed escalation with rationale; factual data (including actual direct labor rates for at least three years) and complete supporting data and rationale for out-year escalation projections. In the absence of an adequate rationale, the Government may use the current Global Insight Rate (GIR) recommendation in evaluating the proposal.

Minimum Escalation Rate 3.10%

(5) Indirect Rates. Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall describe its proposed indirect rates, basis of estimate, and calculation methodologies. Offeror and cost reimbursement subcontractors shall provide the three most recent years of incurred actuals for each proposed indirect rate, any provisional billing rates available, also indicating the beginning and end dates for each fiscal year. This history shall include the most recently completed fiscal year even if the rates are considered preliminary and have not been submitted to DCAA for audit. The Offeror shall note whether the actual rates have been audited by DCAA or any other independent organization; specifically state which indirect rates have been finalized by DCAA/DCMA. If proposed rates are below historical rates, the cost narrative shall include an explanation along with supporting information to corroborate why the proposed indirect rates that are lower than historical rates. If a cap on any of the indirect rates is being proposed, the cost narrative shall identify each capped rate and shall propose legally binding verbiage, which can be included in the resultant task order award subject to Government acceptance.

(6) Other Direct Costs (ODCs). Offerors shall use the following estimates (and add any applicable indirect costs) for material and travel costs. These are total cost estimates for the entire contract. Offerors are required to distribute these sums among subcontractors consistent with their technical proposal(s). If a subcontractor proposes material costs, the subcontractor must fully burden such costs and these costs must be included in the below Government-specified material estimate. Prime and subcontractor proposals shall include a complete listing of all costs other than labor which are charged direct by the company exclusive of travel costs and purchased material which is incorporated into a deliverable item.

(A) Offerors shall include a Material estimate of $319,926 (figure does not include burdens) that includes only those items of purchased material which are incorporated into a deliverable product.

Offerors shall provide with its cost proposal a complete listing of all materials charged direct other than labor. Each offeror shall provide an estimate of the costs applicable to this procurement for each of the materials charged direct and a rationale for each.

All subcontractors in excess of $100,000 shall submit cost proposal narratives in order to fully substantiate the reasonableness and realism of their proposed costs. Subcontractors that are proposed on cost reimbursement basis shall provide the same level of information as required from the Offeror to substantiate their own costs within their cost proposal narratives. Subcontractors that are proposed on a Time-and-Materials or fixed price basis (e.g. FFP, FFP LOE, etc.) are not required to provide the same level details as required under cost reimbursable proposals, but shall still provide an itemized breakout of pricing that is customary with the contract type proposed. Subcontractor unsanitized cost proposal narratives shall be submitted separately via email in order to protect their proprietary information. Subcontractor cost proposals shall be received by the time and date specified for receipt of proposals specified in this solicitation. Subcontracts, regardless of dollar value, shall be adequately documented to facilitate a determination of cost reasonableness using a Cost Summery sheet.
