QUOTE SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

The Offeror is required to submit the following as part of its Quote:

(X) SF1449 (Solicitation M67400-14-T-0015) completed.

(X) Offeror shall submit three separate volumes:

Volume I – (Technical & Past Performance Information): Offerors shall submit one original copy and one redacted version (The redacted version is used during the technical evaluation and therefore; it should be without company logo, identifying marks and names must be redacted. Failure to provide a redacted copy may result in a non-responsive determination. The Government will validate Offeror’s redacted company information but will not make changes to the Offeror’s provided redacted proposal either to add or delete redacted text/graphics/etc.).

1). Task Understanding (See FAR 52.212-2)

- The Offeror shall provide the methodology and detail as to how the Offeror intends to perform the tasks as specified in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). In particular, the Offeror shall provide specific details of how the Offeror will fulfill all the required tasks of the PWS. The

Government will also evaluate the potential risk of the offeror’s proposal in relation to this subfactor.

2). Staffing Approach and Labor Mix Qualifications/Certifications/Experience (See FAR 52.212-2)

- The Government shall evaluate the Offeror’s proposed Staffing Approach that details its plans to staff, recruit, and screen qualified personnel in order to satisfy the Government’s performance requirement. The Government shall evaluate whether or not the approach is definitive enough to provide the Government a clear understanding of how the Offeror intends to staff this contract in order to meet all the PWS requirements. (The approach shall include a detailed discussion of the roles of the support team, substantiated performance, and appropriate use of staff resources to accomplish the intended work set forth in the PWS).

- The Government shall evaluate the Offeror's proposed minimum qualifications, certifications, experience, and specialized experience that the individuals will possess for each of the support areas identified in the PWS. The Offeror shall certify that all the individuals to perform services throughout the life of the contract will meet the characteristics proposed. The Government will also evaluate the potential risk of the offeror’s proposal in relation to this subfactor.

3). Processes and Procedures/Quality Control (See FAR 52.212-2)

The Government shall evaluate the Offeror's approach on the processes, procedures, or systems the Offeror intends to use in the performance of this contract to ensure timely and effective performance of services and meet the Government’s requirement. The Government will also evaluate the potential risk of the offeror’s proposal in relation to this subfactor.

4). Past Performance Information List, to include relevant and recent contracts and subcontracts over the past three (3) years but limited to the most recent five (5) contracts, for the same or similar services

(See Attachment II.)

Offerors shall provide no more than five (5) past performances references for the prime and any sub contractor. Emphasis should be placed on Mid-Level Planner Support Services within the last three (3) years. Include the following fields:

- Customer;

- Contract/Task Order number;

- Contract type;

- Program name;

- Total contract value;

- Identification of any Key Staff involved;

- Description of work performed / relevance to this task, provided in ‘bullet’ format;

- Names / telephone numbers / e-mail for the PCO and COR

The Government may also use other information such as CPARS/PPRIS data available from

Government sources to evaluate an Offeror’s past performance. The government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact references other than those provided by the Offeror. Offerors demonstrating significant, relevant experience with specific requirements set forth in the PWS will be evaluated most favorably. Offerors demonstrating less significant and less relevant experience with the requirements in the PWS will be evaluated less favorably.

Offerors are directed to provide references on the Past Performance Information List on no more than five (5) of the Offeror’s most recently completed, or currently on-going, Federal Government or Commercial contracts, not to exceed 3 years since completion for like or similar services to those to be provided under this RFP. Offerors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one (1) year of performance has been completed as of the closing date of this RFQ.

The offeror has both the duty and discretion to determine which of its prior contracts are most relevant to the currently described requirements. However, the offeror should consider that the

Government shall give special attention to past performance relating to the United States Federal

Government. Commercial contracts will be considered.

If the offeror is unable to provide five (5) relevant contracts for the past performance evaluation, a lesser number may be submitted.

The offeror may also submit relevant contracts performed by subcontractors that will perform under this contract, but under no circumstances may an offeror submit more than five (5) contracts for review, regardless of whether the contracts were performed by the offeror, subcontractor(s), or any combination thereof. Any submission(s) in excess of this stated limit will be excluded by the

Government. The Government will choose the excluded contract(s) at random, or in any manner that the Government, in their absolute discretion, deems appropriate, without any consideration for the best interests of the offeror. If subcontractor contracts are submitted, the offeror must also clearly indicate the percentage of work that the subcontractor(s) performed under each task/category of effort throughout the course of the contract.

If the offeror possesses no relevant past performance, it should affirmatively state this fact in the

Past Performance Information List. Failure to submit the completed Past Performance

Information List shall be considered certification (by signature on the offer) that the offeror has no past performance for like or similar items for the Government to evaluate

The Contractor is required to be authorized to perform/operate in the country of Japan in accordance with DFARS252.225-7042 entitled, “Authorization to Perform.” The Contractor may be required to submit a copy of its business license/permission upon request by the Government.

Volume II- (Price) shall contain all the pricing information, to include a copy of the Offeror’s Audited

Balance Sheet and Income Statement. Only one (1) original copy shall be submitted.

CONTINUATION SHEET with the Contract Line Item (CLIN) Unit Prices and for evaluation purposes, the Total Prices filled in (Supplies and/or Services and Prices and/or Costs) using the estimated quantities value in the solicitation and the instructions below.

The prices for all option items will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 52.217-5. The U.S. Government makes no guarantee that the option years will be exercised. It will be the U.S. Government’s unilateral right to exercise the option years. Once the option is exercised, the offeror is required to perform the work when ordered during the scheduled period of performance of this contract. The six-month option to extend services will be calculated using the last option year pricing proposed by the Offeror. The Government will use the unit (monthly) prices proposed for CLIN 2001 and 2003, multiply each by six and add it to half of

CLIN 2004 to obtain the combined total for the six month period.

iii. Proposed prices shall be entered on the spreadsheet file, Schedule of Supplies/Services, readable in

Microsoft Office Excel format. Offerors shall not alter the format of the spreadsheets except that column(s) may be widened.

iv. Price proposals shall be evaluated for the presence of ‘unbalanced pricing’ based on a contractor’s attempt to ‘buy in’ to the acquisition. The Contracting Officer shall perform a price proposal analysis to determine fair and reasonable pricing. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to reject an offer if it is determined that the lack of balanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

v. The following table is provided for informational purposes only and contains the Government’s estimate with regard to the labor categories and hours required for successful performance. Although the
