SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been added by full text:

ANSWERS TO QUESTION-SECOND SET

Question #1: The Government stated in Amendment One (Question # 18), that Past Performance should be included in Volume III. However, there are no volumes per the solicitation/ amendment 0001. The PP is listed under Factor

I. Please answer the following:

Could the government clarify if industry is to use factors or volumes?

Could the government clarify that the technical capability and PP is one document all inclusive of technical and PP?

There is no mention of volume I in the solicitation for the general documents, could the government please clarify?

Answer #1: Vendor offers must consist of three separate volumes with their associated factors included in each volume: Volume I (Technical), Volume II (Price) and Volume III (Past Performance). Clause 52.212-2 has been updated to reflect.

Question #2: The technical quote is to be submitted with vendor's identifying information ONLY on the cover page of the technical quote. Failure to follow this instruction may result in rejection of the quote."

Hereby request additional clarification on the above statement. What does "vendor's identifying information

ONLY" mean?

Answer #2: “Vendor identifying information only” means company name, logo, letterhead, personnel names, or any other information that would identify a vendor.

Question #3: With respect to electronic submission, would you like us to submit 1 complete document with 3 separate sections (1. Tech Capability factor, 2 Past Performance factor, 3. Price factor), or 3 separate volumes\documents, 1 for each factor?

Answer #3: See Answer #1.

Question #4: The solicitation states the vendor can only identify themselves in the PP. If the PP volume or PP factor is to is to be inclusive of the technical where the vendor can identify themselves in the technical, this seems to contradict the technical/ solicitation. Could the government please clarify.

Based on the current instructions, I would like to make the recommendation to have (4) volumes or factors i.e.:

Volume I- General Admin Docs

Volume II-Technical

Volume III- Pricing

Volume IV- PP

Answer #4: The Government only requires three volumes as identified in Answer #1. General administration documents can be sent separately.

The following have been modified:

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

A vendor’s quote must be written in a logical, practical, clear, concise and logically assembled manner, containing all pertinent information in sufficient detail to provide the evaluators with a clear understanding of the vendor’s approach and to permit evaluation of the proposed program. It is the responsibility of the vendor to present enough information to allow the various work efforts, support, and management approaches to be meaningfully evaluated without discussions.

The vendor’s initial quote should contain the vendor’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to communicate with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all quotations if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest quotation; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotations received. A quote must be internally consistent or the quote will be considered unrealistic and may be considered unacceptable.

Evaluation of the technical approach will be based upon the extent to which the vendor thoroughly and accurately describes the overall technical solution and most advantageous to the Government.

The Government will award a single contract resulting from this request for quotes to the responsible vendor whose quote, conforming to the RFQ, will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

Quotes will be evaluated in an efficient and minimally burdensome fashion. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to evaluate quotes without the use of formal evaluation procedures such as establishing a competitive range, conducting discussions, scoring quotations, and to make an award to other than the lowest quote.

Vendor offers must consist of three separate volumes with their associated factors included in each volume: Volume

I (Technical), Volume II (Past Performance) and Volume III (Price). General administration documents can be sent separately.

Evaluation Factors: In evaluating offers, the technical evaluators will consider the following factors and subfactors:

1) Technical Capability –

(a) Management Plan/Staffing Plan

(b) Corporate Experience

2) Past Performance

3) Price

Factor 1. The subfactors are weighted equally.

Factor 2. If the contractor has no past performance history or relevant past performance, a rating of “neutral” will be assigned.

Factors 1 and 2 are weighted equally and when combined shall be evaluated as significantly more important than price.

Factor 3 – Price.

1) Technical Capability

(a) Management Plan. The vendor’s Management Plan shall demonstrate that sufficient resources are dedicated to the performance of this requirement and that the firm is organized to efficiently carry out services. The vendor shall outline how they intend to accomplish the overall requirement and discuss organization, personnel, and methodology to accomplish this effort. Working knowledge of Navy-Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) operating systems and Navy Information Systems Security Programs is preferred.

The vendor shall clearly explain how they will manage and control all objectives set forth in the PWS, as well as the staffing and scheduling controls to be implemented. The narrative shall show a clear understanding of the requirement and how their management plan will be implemented. Vendor shall also include an explanation as to how they will comply with the Acceptable Quality Level for Maintaining Required Staffing Levels identified in the

PWS.

(b) Corporate Experience. The vendor shall demonstrate their experience in similar maintenance services efforts over the past three years. A narrative shall be provided that shows a clear understanding of the requirement and how the experience and resources of their organization can best provide the necessary management, organizational and business improvement services necessary to carry out this requirement within the time constraints imposed by the

PWS.

2) Past Performance

Relevant past performance is defined as performance of contracts of similar size scope & complexity as this requirement performed within the past three (3) years. For the purpose of this RFQ, similar in scope means the provision, delivery & installation of similar quantity and quality items as those identified in the PWS. Attachment

(1). The Government reserves the right to obtain & use past performance information from sources other than those listed in the quote, to include prior dealing with the government & personal knowledge of the company.

Vendors shall provide at least two (2) relevant past performance references with their quote. Reference information shall include agency or business name, contract number, dollar amount, point of contact (include phone number and email address), for which your firm has provided the same or similar services or supplies. Firms without a record of relevant past performance must affirmatively state that no relevant past performance is available. Such firms will receive a neutral rating that will be evaluated neither positively nor negatively.

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

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