Past performance information utilized will be obtained from the vendors' references, other customers known to the

It is suggested that your references be notified that they are being named as a reference. The Government will contact the vendor’s customers to obtain information regarding the vendor’s actions under previously awarded contracts

No Past Performance History.

Such vendors must make an affirmative statement that there is no past performance history available.

PRICE:

The price quoted shall be submitted separately from the technical proposal. The Government will evaluate the reasonableness of the price of each acceptable quote in relation to the vendor’s relative capability.

B. Evaluation Factors for Award

FACTOR #1 TECHNICAL/MANAGEMENT CAPABILITY

This factor is met when the vendor meets the acceptability standard for each sub factor: The sub factors are listed below:

Sub factor B: Demonstrates acceptable work methods to perform the work. Work methods proposed adequately addresses all requirements.

Sub factor C: Vendor provided documented skills and experience as detailed in the Performance Work Statement.

Sub factor D: Resumes/or position description (PD). Resume/PD demonstrates personnel experience and qualifications that meet requirements detailed in the Statement Of Work.

Sub factor F: The vendor’s narrative demonstrates the ability to provide seamless phase-in of personnel to fully support requirements of this contract by 30 June 2014.

FACTOR #2 PAST PERFORMANCE.

This factor is met when:

A determination can be made that the vendor has satisfied its customers in the past and demonstrates past performance and has provided same or similar services, similar in size, scope and complexity within the past three

(3) years.

If the vendor does not have relevant past performance, a rating of neutral will be assigned to this factor.

Sub factor A Quality of service. Compliance with contract and standards of good workmanship.

Sub factor B Timeliness of performance. Met performance times and did not receive any cure or show cause notices nor have numerous complaints.

Sub factor C Customer (end-user) satisfaction. Customer (end-user) satisfaction of overall performance for services

Sub factor D Business relations. History of reasonable and cooperative behavior and overall business-like concern for the interests of the customer.

FACTOR #3 PRICE/COST PROPOSAL. Pricing will be the deciding factor for all quotes found to be equal in respect to technical capability and past performance. All pricing will be tested for reasonableness. Unreasonably high prices will be rejected and unrealistically low prices will be considered as evidence of lack of understanding of the requirement. The evaluation of pricing will be considered both objectively and subjectively in relation to the relative merits of the quotes submitted.

B1. Evaluation Criteria for Quotes The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this solicitation;

however, the Government reserves the right to award no contract. The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible vendor whose quote conforms to the solicitation and will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate quotes:

1. Technical/Management Capability

2. Past performance

3. Price

Options. The Government will evaluate quotes for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that a quote is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

B1.1 Basis for Award. This is a best value competitive source selection. Award will be made to the vendor whose quote is determined to be the most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The technical/management proposal factors and past performance factors, when combined, are significantly more important than the price factor. Therefore, the Government may accept other than the lowest priced technically acceptable quote if it is determined that the additional technical merit quoted provides the best value to the

Government. Technical/management plan and past performance will be rated equally. The Government will evaluate information that demonstrates quality of performance relative to the size and complexity of the procurement under consideration. The Government intends to award one contract as a result of this request for quote. The Government reserves the right to make an award based on initial quotes received, without conversations, based on evaluation criteria discussed in A5.1 of this document.

The Government reserves the right to hold conversations with any vendor whose quote is determined to need further information or clarification if that is determined to be in the best interest of the government.

QASP

Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP)

1. Purpose. This Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP) has been developed to provide the standard of surveillance for monitoring contractor augmented aircraft maintenance services in support of the CH-53E aircraft. The Contracting Officer (KO) will be appointed at the time of award and COR Contact information will be provided. The COR will also serve as the Quality Assurance Evaluator (QAE) and will use this QASP to ensure the standards of the contract are being met. The COR/QAE will be referred to as the COR throughout this QASP.

2. Level Of Effort Standards. The QASP provides a systematic method to evaluate the service the

Contractor is required to furnish. The COR will assess the Contractor’s performance to ensure the

Contractor is performing up to the specified standards. The standards for this Statement Of work (SOW) are stated in the Level Of Effort Requirements Summary (PRS) included in this QASP. The standards for this procurement are subjective since specific metric-driven standards are not appropriate.

3. Management and Oversight. The QASP is based on the premise that the Contractor and not the

Government, is responsible for the management and any Quality Control action required to meet the terms of the contract. The Level Of Effort requirements recognize that the Contractor is not a perfect manager and that unforeseen requirements and uncontrollable problems do occur. Good management and use of an adequate Quality Control Plan will allow the Contractor to operate within specific performance requirements. QASPs are designed to be objective, fair, and consistent in evaluating Contractor performance against the provided standards.

4. Acceptable Quality Levels (AQLs). AQLs have been established in the Level Of Effort Requirements

Summary and provide performance standards that the Contractor will meet in performing the contract. If the contractor meets the required AQL, it will be paid the monthly amount agreed upon in the contract. In the event the Contractor does not meet the established AQLs, the KO has the right to exercise the negative incentives stated in this QASP.

5. Primary Method of Surveillance/Evaluation. The COR will evaluate the contractor’s performance using one or more of the following surveillance methods:

Observation/Random Monitoring: Observation/Random monitoring of staffing levels and personnel qualifications by the COR.

Random Inspection: Random inspection of maintenance actions/inspection documentation developed via

Work Order (WO) Optimized Organizational Maintenance Activity (OOMA) Naval Aviation Logistics

Command Management Information systems (NALCOMIS).

6. Negative Incentives. If any of the performance requirements do not meet the AQL set in the PRS table, the

COR shall document the discrepancy(s) and shall notify the Contractor promptly, and the KO, on a monthly basis, for appropriate action. When the performance is below the AQL standard, the Government may implement negative incentives that include: increased surveillance, reduction in contract price, decision not to exercise next option, increased Contractor reporting, and/or documentation of contractor’s failure to meet performance requirements in the Contractor’s Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). Due to the urgent and continuous nature of this requirement, the government requires the contractor to maintain the proposed workforce at 100% manning. As such, the contractor is expected to develop a manning plan to fill any planned or unplanned vacancies on an expedited basis. Any vacancies that occur in the contractor’s proposed manning should be filled within 14 calendar days. Any manning vacancies that remain unfilled after 14 days will have an invoice offset calculated using the total proposed daily cost

(including profit and overhead) for the position left vacant (based on a 30 day month) times the number of vacant days in the billing cycle plus an additional 10% of the cost calculated.

7. Notification. The COR will notify the KO, in writing, of unacceptable quality levels. The CO will promptly provide written notification of discrepancies on a monthly basis, or immediately if the situation significantly affects the well-being of the project. The Contractor will be given the opportunity to respond, in writing, to each discrepancy.

8. Response. The Contractor shall provide a written response to the cause and the corrective action to prevent recurrence within ten (10) working days after receipt of the KO’s notification. The Contractor should cite specific quality assurance program procedures or new procedures instituted to prevent recurrence.

9. Records. The COR will maintain contract surveillance files as directed by the KO. Surveillance files will include, as a minimum, the following documentation for this Firm-Fixed Priced contract:

a. COR designation and appointment letters.

b. A copy of the contract and all contract modifications.

c. QASP, Quality Control Plan, and any other monitoring tools, checklists, etc.

d. All correspondence including KO notifications and the Contractor’s responses.

e. Contractor monthly status reports.

f. Monthly evidence of satisfactory performance provided by Maintenance Chief.

g. Evidence of price monitoring: copies of certified invoices tracked against each contract line item.

h. Quarterly technical reviews.

i. Surveillance reports and a summary of the surveillance logs prepared by the COR and submitted to the KO annually.

j. Copies of deficiency reports that may be submitted in support of unacceptable performance identified during the performance period by the COR, or when there is a significant change in the assessment in one or more evaluation areas.

k. Annual in-progress reviews conducted and entered into CPARS .

10. Ratings. The following criteria will be used for performance evaluations: Exceptional, Satisfactory, Marginal, or Unsatisfactory. Upward or downward arrows may be used to indicate an improving or worsening trend insufficient to change to the assessment status.

a. Exceptional. Indicates performance clearly exceeds contractual requirements. The area of evaluation may contain a few minor problems for which corrective action appears highly effective.

b. Satisfactory. Indicates performance clearly meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains some minor problems for which the corrective actions appear satisfactory.

c. Marginal. Indicates performance meets contractual requirements. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which corrective actions have not yet been identified, appear only marginally effective, or have not been fully implemented.

d. Unsatisfactory. Indicates the contractor is in danger of not being able to satisfy contractual requirements and recovery is not likely in a timely manner. The area of evaluation contains one or more serious problems for which the corrective actions appear ineffective.

11. Documentation. Documentation used and referenced to perform surveillance will consist of monthly reports, contractor plans and procedures, schedules, customer feedback and contract data requirements.

a. Recording Observations. The COR shall use Surveillance Logs to record information on scheduled observations and deficiencies noted. Each observation is recorded on the log. The documents then become a formal record for reference. The contractor is to be told each time that a deficiency is found during scheduled observations. The COR makes a notation on the Surveillance Log of the date and time the deficiency was discovered, then, the COR asks a contractor site manager to initial the notation, documenting notification of the deficiency only.

b. Potential Unacceptable Performance. The COR must identify the specific service that is unacceptable and the possible causes, and ask a number of questions which if answered, will probably pinpoint the source of the problem.

c. Documenting Unacceptable Performance. The COR must attempt to resolve the problem with the contractor. The original log and the attempted solution (along with an evaluation of results) are forwarded to the Contracting Officer through the COR.

Based on the severity of the discrepancy and the success of the solution, the COR will notify the KO. The contractor shall complete a response to the unacceptable evaluation if requested by the KO or by its own choice.

12. Taking Action.

a. The COR may evaluate the contractor’s performance and document any non-compliance, but only the KO may take action against the contractor for an unacceptable rating.

b. When the contractor’s performance is unacceptable and a formal action is indicated, the COR will determine what action is appropriate for the specific circumstances and make a recommendation to the KO.

13. Documentation. The COR retains a copy of all inspection schedules and surveillance activity logs during the course of the contract, and forwards them for inclusion in the contract file at the end of the surveillance period. However, when a specific service becomes unsatisfactory during a surveillance period, the inspection documentation supporting the contract discrepancy report is forwarded to the KO.
