The QASP is based on the premise that the Contractor and not the government, is responsible for the management and any Quality Control (QC) action required to meet the terms of the contract. The performance 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.

14.6 Notification. The Government POC will notify the Contracting Officer (KO), in writing, of unacceptable quality levels. The KO will promptly provide written notification of discrepancies as they occur, 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.

14.7 Response. The Contractor shall provide a written response to the cause and the corrective action to prevent recurrence within two (2) working days after receipt of KO’s notification.

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES (NOV 2021)

(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 proposed acquisition is a 100% Small Business set-aside for NAICS code 811210, Electronic and Precision Equipment Repair and Maintenance and the small business size standard is $34.0 Million.

BASIS OF AWARD: Award will be made using simplified acquisition procedures and the best value process. For this reason, the final award decision may be made to other than lowest priced or highest technically rated quote.

Quotes will be evaluated based on (1) Technical Factor 1: Capability and Factor 2: Experience; and (2) Past Performance; and (3) Price.

The term “offeror” or “offer” as used in FAR 52.212-1 shall be understood to mean “Quoter” and “quote,” respectively. Further, the term “award” shall be understood to describe the Government’s issuance of a purchase order in response to a request for quotes (RFQ).

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 RFQ to the quoter whose offer 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:

a. Technical Factor 1: Technical Capability

b. Technical Factor 2: Experience

c. Past Performance

d. Price

Quotes will be evaluated using a price/technical tradeoff. This process is appropriate because it is in the Government’s best interest to consider awarding to other than the lowest price. In evaluating the technical portion of the quote, the technical evaluators will evaluate the factors and sub factors as described in the “Basis of Award”.

The factors of Technical Acceptability, Experience, and Past Performance are weighted equally. Technical Acceptability, Experience, and Past Performance, when combined, are equally as important as price.

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. However, the Government reserves the right to award no contract at all, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a contract without discussions with vendors. Vendors should not expect requests for clarification or additional information from the Government. Therefore, 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 conduct discussions with vendors if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary and in the best interest to the Government. The Government may reject any or all quotes if such action is in the public interest; and may waive informalities and minor irregularities in quotes received.

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

All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your proposal submission, you are representing that you will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation. It is not necessary or desirable for you to tell us so in your proposal. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

Quotes shall provide the following:

Introduction of company cover page with Company Name, Cage Code, and SAMs Unique Identification Number.

Technical Section: Shall be redacted with no company name and included technical capability Documentation

Experience: Shall demonstrate similar parachute training aircraft support services provided over the past five (5) years.

Past Performance: Shall be relevant and similar to the requirement and current (no longer than 2 years past) Price and Solicitation Documents

(i) The Technical Capability shall be specific and complete. In the Technical Acceptability, address your proposed approach to meeting the minimum performance or capability requirement.

(ii) Marketing presentations are not wanted and will not be evaluated. Hard and compelling evidence of capabilities is required to receive credit for evaluation factors.

(iii) Legibility, clarity, and coherence are very important. However, there is no page limitation.

(iv) Your responses will be evaluated against 52.212-2, Evaluation Factors.

(v) Provide as specifically as possible, the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing and satisfying the requirements.

(vi) All the requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory. By your proposal submission, you are representing that you will perform all the requirements specified in the solicitation. It is not necessary or desirable for you to tell us so in your proposal. Do not merely reiterate the objectives or reformulate the requirements specified in the solicitation.

(vii) Proposal must only have the company name on the first page, and not anywhere else in the document. Failure to comply with this may result in the proposal not being considered.

In evaluating the technical portion of the quote, the technical evaluators will evaluate the following factors and subfactors as stated in the “Basis of Award” of the RFQ.

Technical Factor 1 - Technical Capability:

A mere statement that the vendor “will meet the Government’s requirements” is insufficient; the vendor must demonstrate how it will meet the requirement.

The vendor shall address and demonstrate their knowledge and understanding of the overall requirement. The vendor shall address their ability to staff, manage, comply, and control all aspects of the requirement in an organized manner which outlines the requirements set forth in the PWS.

The Vendor shall outline how they intend to accomplish the overall requirement and discuss organization, personnel, and methodology to accomplish this performance effort.

Technical Factor 2 – Experience

The vendor shall provide experience of similar upgrades of hardware and software for the Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) Transcend Network Management System (TNMS) and associated equipment support services over the last two (2) years. A narrative shall be provided that demonstrates a clear understanding of the requirement and the experience of their business can best accomplish the tasks identified in the PWS. Experience by the prime, principal subcontractors, and principal entities (if applicable) will be evaluated on the amount of experience gained and the extent to which the associated efforts are similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to this solicitation as well as relate to the proposal roles and responsibilities. Experience that took place greater than 2 years from the proposal due date will not be considered. Experience by individual employees will not be considered.

The Government does not require resumes. The Vendor shall identify (contract number, dates of services and Government contact information for verification) contracts that it has performed as the prime contractor to demonstrate that it has the corporate experience associated with all requirements of PWS. Experience Vendor shall not receive credit for this factor if information provided is missing or cannot be verified. Lack of a record of experience associated with performing facility support for the required support services, similar to those required by this solicitation, may be considered a significant weakness.

TECHNICAL PROPOSAL RATING METHODS. Each quote received will be evaluated against the evaluation criteria set forth in the solicitation. Evaluator(s) will use a rating method which involves the use of the following ratings: Excellent, Good, Fair, Marginal, and Poor for each factor/subfactors.

A “Weakness” is defined as a flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

A “Significant Weakness” is defined as a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.

A “Strength” is defined as an aspect of an offeror’s proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that is advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

A “Deficiency” is defined as a material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement, or a combination of significant weaknesses, in a proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

The rating adjectives to be used are as follows:

a. Excellent. The proposal meets the fullest expectations of the Government. The offeror has convincingly demonstrated that the RFQ's requirements have been analyzed, evaluated, and synthesized into approaches, plans, and techniques that, when implemented, should result in an outstanding, effective, efficient, and economical performance under the contract. An assigned rating within "excellent" indicates that, in terms of the specific factor (or subfactors), the proposal contains essentially no weaknesses or deficiencies and meets the fullest expectations of the Government.

b. Good. The proposal is fully responsive with no significant deficiencies. Fulfilling the definition of "good" indicates that, in terms of the specific factor (or subfactors), the proposal demonstrates a level of effort that meets the RFQ's requirements, and that this effort has produced, or could produce, results which should prove to be substantially beneficial to the project.

c. Fair. The proposal is adequately responsive with minor deficiencies, but no major deficiencies noted. An assigned rating within "fair" indicates that, in terms of the specific factor (or subfactors), any deficiencies noted are of a minor nature that should not seriously affect the offeror’s performance. A rating within "fair" is used when there are no indications of exceptional features or innovations that could prove to be beneficial, or contrarily, weaknesses that could diminish the quality of the effort or increase the risks of failure.

d. Marginal. The proposal contains significant weaknesses in several factors or subfactors. A rating of "marginal" indicates that, in terms of the specific factor (or subfactors), the offeror may satisfactorily complete the assigned tasks, but there is significant risk that the contractor will not successfully complete the effort.

e. Poor. The proposal is not adequately responsive or does not address the specific factors or subfactors. The offeror’s interpretation of the Government's requirements is so superficial, incomplete, vague, incompatible, incomprehensible, or incorrect as to be unsatisfactory. The assignment of a rating within the bounds of "poor" indicates a probability that the deficiencies will cause the overall project to fail.

Factor 3 - Past Performance

The Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS) and CPARS for these services will be used to obtain Past Performance on quoters.

Vendors lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will receive a neutral rating.

Offerors are reminded that the Government reserves the right to use information to evaluate past performance obtained from sources other than those identified by the vendor. The Government may send additional questionnaires and/or obtain information from sources identified by the Government evaluation team.

Factor 4 - Price

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

(b) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful vendor 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.

SUBMISSION OF QUOTES: Quotes may be submitted via email to Sam Irvine, samuel.t.irvine.mil@usmc.mil (PREFERRED METHOD) or via hand delivery/courier to Contracting Department, Bldg. 316, G Street, 2nd Floor, Camp Lejeune, NC 28542. It is solely the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure quotes are submitted in accordance with FAR provision 52.212-1 including its addenda and received within the required timeframe. All quotes, if timely received, will be considered for award. The information submitted shall be clear and legible.
