QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

NO. QUESTIONS ANSWERS

1 Does IWID only provide input to the WIPEB for this requirement, or are they involved in other PEBs?

CE-IWD provides inputs predominantly to the

Information Portfolio Evaluation Board (i. e. greater than

95% of the overarching efforts), with significantly less coordination to both the Warfighting and Installations

Portfolio Evaluation Boards. This is based upon service-level revisions to the PEB structure (i. e. addition of the IPEB by DC P&R, as approved by the Marine

Requirements Oversight Council).

2 Is there a deliverable requirement for an intake meeting after award?

Yes

3 Are there any DD-1423s (CDRLs) associated to this effort to provide deliverable clarification?

No

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

The Government will award a contract resulting from this RFQ to the responsible Quoter whose quote conforming to the RFQ will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

EVALUATION FACTORS ARE:

(1) Technical Capability

(2) Price

1. Factor 1 –

Technical Capability – The Quoter will be evaluated on their demonstrated knowledge and understanding of the technical and programmatic requirements outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS);

ensuring their discussion articulates their capability so as to provide continuous quality support. The discussion must be able to demonstrate that the Quoter has the capacity to support the requirements, understands the priorities, and can execute a comprehensive approach that ensures quality performance and use of staff resources to meet objectives. The Quoter will be evaluated on their ability to adequately identify a suitable level of technical understanding. This includes, at a minimum, describing performance objectives that can be accomplished by their technical approach; describe the benefits and advantages of that approach; and effectively illustrate the roles of staff and team resources to execute the intended strategy. The discussion must be able to demonstrate that the Quoter has the capacity to support the requirements, outlined in the PWS.

2. Factor 2 –

Price – The price factor will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness.

Comparison of the quoted pricing is considered in the overall evaluation of "best value” to the government based upon the anticipated level of competition. The government may accept other than the lowest priced quote if the perceived benefits of the higher priced quote is deemed to merit the higher price. Prospective

Quoters are forewarned that a quote meeting PWS requirements with the lowest evaluated price may not be selected if award to a higher evaluated Quoter is determine to be most advantageous to the government. In the event that all non-price factors are rated equally, Price will become most important factor.

EVALUATION RATINGS ARE:

Factor 1 – Technical Capability and Management Approach

Based on the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies identified by evaluators, the SSEB will assign each technical and management factor an adjectival rating using the following adjectival rating scale:

RATING TECHNICAL RISK AND MANAGEMENT RISK RATING

OUTSTANDING

Quote meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths far outweigh weaknesses. Risk of unsuccessful performance is very low.

GOOD

Quote meets requirements and indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements. Quote contains strengths which outweigh any weaknesses.

Risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

ACCEPTABLE

Quote meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. Strengths and weaknesses are offsetting or will have little or no impact on contract performance. Risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

MARGINAL

Quote does not clearly meet requirements and has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements. The quote has one or more weaknesses which are not offset by strengths. Risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

UNACCEPTABLE

Quote does not meet requirements and contains one or more deficiencies. Quote is un-awardable.

Factor 2 – Price

The cost and price analysis techniques set forth in FAR 15.4041(b)(2) are used to determine whether the quoted price is fair and reasonable. The proposed price is reasonable when it is fair to the buyer, fair to the seller, and reasonable considering the market conditions, available alternatives, and price-related factors as determined through one or more of the price analysis techniques. The quotes will also be reviewed for consistency to ensure that all performance, scope, and assumptions quoted in other sections of the quote are captured in the price section.

The evaluated price shall be used in the trade-off analysis between the price and non-price factors to determine the best value. The evaluated price of the quote shall be the total price for the base period and all option periods.

(End of provision)

DISCUSSIONS: If during the evaluation period it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, Quoter responses to clarifications/discussion notices will be considered in making the source selection decision.
