1.0 Background

This procurement is for the RMHK and its jumper-to-jumper communication components. The

Marine Corps identified a requirement for RMHK that integrates the full capabilities of an oxygen mask, jumper-to-jumper communications, aircraft inter-communication system, and night vision goggles onto a lightweight jump helmet or a ballistic helmet. The RMHK shall support

Military Free Fall (MFF) insertions and follow-on operations for reconnaissance and special operations Marines.

2.0 Applicable Documents

The documents in paragraph 2.1 below form a part of this SOW to the extent specified herein.

The most recent version of the referenced document at the time of contract applies unless otherwise specified. In the event of a conflict between the applicable documents and this SOW, the SOW takes precedence. All second tier and below references cited in mandatory compliance documents are guidance only. Nothing in this document, however, supersedes applicable laws and regulations unless a specified exemption has been obtained.

(CLIN 0006, CONFERENCE MINUTES, DI-ADMN-81250A – CDRL 0002)

3.7 Provisioning. The Contractor shall provide the appropriate information necessary to catalog the components in accordance with Federal procedures. The Defense Logistics Information

Service (DLIS) at the Battle Creek Federal Center, Michigan, assigns a National Stock Number

(NSN) when a new item receives repeated orders and when an agency puts a new weapon system into service. The DLIS operates within the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) and is the only organization that is authorized to assign NSNs. Each NSN is the result of a careful review process called “cataloging.” The Department of Defense (DoD), the North Atlantic Treaty

Organization (NATO), and allied countries submit cataloging requests to DLIS for processing.

DLIS manages the information in the Federal Logistics Information System. For cataloging purposes, the Contractor shall provide the Government with the following information for the system, each assembly and subassembly, and repair part:

The Contractor shall notify the RMHK Project Officer and Logistician immediately and no later than 48 hours by faxed letter or email (e-mail is preferred) if any of the information provided above (Paragraph 3.7) changes for a cataloged item or an item in the process of being cataloged. The notification subject line shall be “Change

Notice for Cataloged Item,” and it shall contain a detailed description and explanation of the change. The Government will notify the Contractor when the change is finalized and provide the new NSN if DLIS assigns a new NSN. Upon receiving a new NSN for an item, the Contractor shall update its technical instructions or parts and component lists with the new NSN.

3.9 Warranty. The Contractor shall provide its standard commercial warranty covering workmanship, materials, design, and all essential performance characteristics that would affect the PSpec requirements of the RMHK communication components. The warranty shall commence when the Government accepts the unit. The Contractor shall ensure that subcontractor warranties provide the same coverage and are passed through to the end item. For

RMHK communication components shipped to the Contractor for warranty repairs from Marine

Corps units in the Continental United States (CONUS), the Government is responsible for paying the shipping charges to transport the components requiring warranty repairs to the Contractor's repair facility. The Contractor is responsible for paying the shipping charges to return the repaired components directly to Marine Corps units. For components shipped to the Contractor for warranty repairs from Marine Corps units Outside the Continental United States (OCONUS), the Contractor will pay the shipping charges to ship the repaired components to the Product

Manager Reconnaissance and Amphibious Raids (PdM RAR), 2200 Lester Street, Quantico, VA

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY FULL TEXT

EVALUATION CRITERIA (RMHK)

52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

(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:

EVALUATION CRITERIA (RMHK)

1) Pursuant to the processes in FAR 15.101-2, the Government will award based on the lowest evaluated price among proposals meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for non-cost factors.

2) The Government will evaluate each proposal based on the factors below.

2A) Factor 1: Technical Capability

The Government will evaluate Technical Capability based on each offeror’s ability to provide the system detailed in the SOW & Performance Specifications within the required delivery schedule via a written technical proposal and system verification. The proposed system must meet all of the solicitation requirements. The Government will evaluate this based on the matrix and product specification sheets provided in the offeror’s proposal. Offerors must demonstrate how they will meet the solicitation’s technical requirements to include the performance specification using the matrix format. When doing so, offerors must identify where in their written technical proposal, performance specification sheets, test data, or other informational sheets they meet each specific requirement. In other words, merely checking boxes is insufficient. Further, offerors must submit three (3) product samples for each of the four (4) components listed in the solicitation so that the Government can assess the product samples in accordance with the solicitation’s performance specification. A proposal is unacceptable if it cannot sufficiently convey how the system and its components meet the performance specification’s technical requirements.

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Item clearly meets all the requirements of the solicitation as validated through the matrix, product sample testing, any additional product specification, and/or informational sheets provided by the offeror.

Unacceptable Item does not clearly meet all the requirements of the solicitation and cannot be validated through the matrix, product sample testing, any additional product specification, and/or informational sheets provided by the offeror.

2B) Factor 2: Price

The Government will evaluate but not rate price. The Government will evaluate each offeror’s price proposal for completeness, consistency and reasonableness with the offeror’s technical approach to ensure it reflects a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements.

The Government will calculate price by totaling all CLINs (quantity multiplied by unit price).

The Government will reject proposals that are unrealistically low or otherwise not in the Government’s best interest.

In its evaluation, the Government may use published data, same or similar DoD contracts, government estimates, industry standards, Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) audit information, or other appropriate information.

It is expected that this contract will be awarded based upon a determination that there is adequate price competition;
