G.4 CRITERIA FOR THE EXERCISE OF THE PROTOTYPE BUILD OPTION

The Government reserves the right to exercise an option to build prototype vehicles following CDR using a best value analysis. The Government intends to exercise and award the option to one (1) Offeror and will make a determination based upon, in addition to the option clauses and price, the following non-price criteria in descending order of importance:

1. The AAV Survivability Upgrade design that meets the $1.65M Government APUC (FY12 dollars). The

Offeror(s) will consider the following design trades in descending order of importance:

a. Force protection

b. Seaworthiness and water safety

c. Land mobility and land safety

2. The proposed duration of the prototype manufacturing schedule

3. Outcome of manufacturing site visits conducted prior to CDR. The Government intends to conduct a site visit to each Offeror(s) proposed manufacturing facility. The intent of the visit is for the Government to review the following:

a. Established Manufacturing processes and procedures

b. Documentation of Manufacturing processes and procedures

c. Lean Manufacturing

d. Training

e. Facilities

4. Demonstrated performance through CDR

All non-price factors, when combined, are significantly more important than the total evaluated price of the

Prototype Build Options (Test Support Inclusive) and LRIP Options

G.5 LRIP Pricing

The Government does not prohibit an Offeror from submitting a proposal that includes a Defense Working Capital

Fund Activity (e.g. depot) performing a portion of the AAV Survivability Upgrade requirement, provided the

Offeror shall (at a minimum):

1. Describe the work the Depot will perform in terms of RFP evaluations factors (e.g. Engineering, Management, Energy, Past Performance, and Price);

2. Demonstrate the Depot has the capability and capacity to perform its portion of the requirements;

3. Provide evidence of the Depot's willingness to participate with the Offeror for its stated portion of the requirements; and

4. Include the Depot's "bottom line" price to perform its portion of the requirements.

Contractor(s) awarded a contract for the design phase will receive a refined, more detailed LRIP SOW approximately 90 days prior to CDR. In accordance with SOW paragraph 3.8, these documents will prepare the

Contractor(s) to submit a revised competitive LRIP pricing proposal, in accordance with CDRL A067. Any revised

LRIP price proposal (CLINS 0200 – 0204 and 0206) shall be firm fixed price and not exceed the NTE amount specified in Section B.

The Government will evaluate any revised LRIP pricing by examining the total price of the proposed line item prices listed in the offer (plus any adjusted amount for Defense Working Capital Funds (see M.3.5.1 and M.3.6)).

G.5.1 LRIP Reasonableness Assessment

The Government will perform a price reasonableness assessment. Price reasonableness will be based on the Basis of

Estimate (BOEs) and proposed pricing reported in a Cost and Software Data Report (CSDR) flat file format. All

Basis of Estimate (Ground Rules and Assumptions to include Learning Curve Applications, Sources, Gross

Methodology (analogy, parametric, extrapolation from actuals, bottoms-up, etc.) and a time-phased pricing report) worksheets shall be included in the same Microsoft Excel workbook as the CSDR Flat File and maintain all formulas. A time-phased pricing report in Then-Year (TY) dollars shall be included as an independent worksheet within the CSDR workbook and must maintain formulas, computations, etc. The workbook shall include the BOEs and CSDR flat file for the LRIP option and LRIP testing support. The flat file format can be found on the Defense

Cost and Resource Center (DCARC) website http://dcarc.cape.osd.mil/CSDR/cPet.aspx (see the right hand side for cPet Flat File Format). The CSDR Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) for the LRIP Phase (Attachment 6) shall be used as the WBS in the CSDR flat file. Any revised pricing which provides an unbalanced price may be determined to be materially unbalanced and deficient. The worksheets shall not contain any macros.
