Administrative proceeding means a non-judicial process that is adjudicatory in nature in order to make a determination of fault or liability (e.g., Securities and Exchange Commission Administrative Proceedings, Civilian

Board of Contract Appeals Proceedings, and Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals Proceedings). This includes administrative proceedings at the Federal and State level but only in connection with performance of a Federal contract or grant. It does not include agency actions such as contract audits, site visits, corrective plans, or inspection of deliverables.

Federal contracts and grants with total value greater than $10,000,000 means--

(1) The total value of all current, active contracts and grants, including all priced options; and

(2) The total value of all current, active orders including all priced options under indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity, 8(a), or requirements contracts (including task and delivery and multiple-award Schedules).

Principal means an officer, director, owner, partner, or a person having primary management or supervisory responsibilities within a business entity (e.g., general manager; plant manager; head of a division or business segment; and similar positions).

(b) The offeror ( ) has ( ) does not have current active Federal contracts and grants with total value greater than

$10,000,000.

(c) If the offeror checked “has” in paragraph (b) of this provision, the offeror represents, by submission of this offer, that the information it has entered in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) is current, accurate, and complete as of the date of submission of this offer with regard to the following information:

(1) Whether the offeror, and/or any of its principals, has or has not, within the last five years, in connection with the award to or performance by the offeror of a Federal contract or grant, been the subject of a proceeding, at the Federal or State level that resulted in any of the following dispositions:

(i) In a criminal proceeding, a conviction.

(ii) In a civil proceeding, a finding of fault and liability that results in the payment of a monetary fine, penalty, reimbursement, restitution, or damages of $5,000 or more.

(A) The payment of a monetary fine or penalty of $5,000 or more; or

(B) The payment of a reimbursement, restitution, or damages in excess of $100,000.

(iv) In a criminal, civil, or administrative proceeding, a disposition of the matter by consent or compromise with an acknowledgment of fault by the Contractor if the proceeding could have led to any of the outcomes specified in paragraphs (c)(1)(i), (c)(1)(ii), or (c)(1)(iii) of this provision.

(2) If the offeror has been involved in the last five years in any of the occurrences listed in (c)(1) of this provision, whether the offeror has provided the requested information with regard to each occurrence.

(d) The offeror shall post the information in paragraphs (c)(1)(i) through (c)(1)(iv) of this provision in FAPIIS as required through maintaining an active registration in the System for Award Management database via https://www.acquisition.gov (see 52.204-7).

(End of provision) https://www.acquisition.gov/

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

See Addendum 1 to Evaluation Plan

(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.

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM 1 TO EVAL PLAN

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS AND EVALUATION CRITERIA

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

1. Purpose.

These instructions prescribe the requirements for proposals and describe the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. They are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and comprehensive validation of proposals. Offerors are cautioned to follow the instructions carefully. It is an Offeror's responsibility to submit a well-written proposal, with adequately detailed information which demonstrates its clear understanding of, and compliance with, the solicitation requirements. The Offeror is responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of the proposal. Offerors shall confine their submission to essential matters, sufficient to define their offer, and provide an adequate basis for evaluation. Likewise, Offerors are cautioned against general, vague, or unsubstantiated statements, which prevent or render difficult the Government's evaluation of the proposal. Statements such as "will comply," or "noted and understood" without a supporting narrative to define compliance are not acceptable. Further, a proposal that merely "parrots back" the requirements of the solicitation, but fails to provide the required approach to meeting the solicitation's requirements is not acceptable.

THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY PROPOSAL THAT DOES NOT

SUBSTANTIALLY COMPLY WITH THESE PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS. THIS

INCLUDES, BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO, PROVIDING COMPLETE AND COMPREHENSIVE

SECTIONS IN ALL VOLUMES.

Proposal shall be valid for a period of 90 days from date of submission.

2. Requests for Clarification (RFCs) and Intent to Bid

a. All RFCs are due by 1:00 P.M. (local time, Quantico, VA) on 20 May 2015. Please use a table format for your comments similar to Table 1.

MCSC_ISI@USMC.MIL with a subject line of PATS M67854-15-R-4801 RFCs.

b. Electronic submission of requests is the only acceptable method of submission. The Government will not provide any information concerning requests for clarifications in response to telephone calls, written, or faxed copies from Offerors.

c. Should any RFC be received after the date stated above, the Government reserves the right not to provide an answer. If in the Government’s opinion, the RFC cites an issue of significant importance, the Government may provide written responses to all Offerors via FedBizOps.

Intent to Submit Proposal Notification

Please provide by 10:00 A.M. (local time, Quantico, VA) on the next business day following issuance of the first set of RFC responses, an email notification of your intent to bid. Additionally, please provide your CAGE code, DUNS number, Tax Identification Number (TIN), and EFT information and point of contact information including name, phone number, street address, and email address. Notice of Intent to bid should be sent via email to Kathy Markley at MCSC_ISI@USMC.MIL with a subject line of:

PATS M67854-15-R-4801 Intent to bid.

3. Proposal Format and Submission:

Proposals shall be sent via email (Microsoft (MS) Office 2007 format and/or PDF) to Kathy Markley at MCSC_ISI@USMC.MIL. Proposals are due by 10:00 A.M. (local time, Quantico, VA) on 22 June

2015. Any email received after the submission day and time will be considered a "late submission."

The Government reserves the right to reject any late submission. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to provide submissions with enough time to confirm receipt in the event that the Government server blocks or strips an email.

a) Pages:

i. The definition of a page is a single side of paper with text, drawings, data, or similar content. Pages shall be 8.5 by 11 inches in size.

ii. Page and Line Numbering. The Offeror shall use a standard page and line numbering system to facilitate proposal references. Number consecutive pages within sections. Charts, graphs and other insert materials shall be page-numbered as part of the page numbering system. All lines of text shall be consecutively numbered within volumes.

iii. Page Limitations. Page limitations are identified for each Volume/Section of the proposal, as described in Para 3. below, and will be treated as maximums.

Excess pages that exceed stated page limitations will not be read or considered in evaluation of the proposal. Included in the page count are separate pages providing graphics, charts, illustrations and pictures. Page limitations will be checked. Any Volume/Section violating limitations will be removed and will not be considered in the evaluation.

b) Margins and Fonts: The text margins shall be no less than one inch. Text font shall be in

Times New Roman or Arial Narrow, no smaller than 11 point. Font for tables, figures, and other graphics shall be no smaller than 8 point Times New Roman or Arial. All material submitted may be single-spaced.

c) Email attachments: Offerors SHALL NOT include any .zip files. MCSC cannot accept

.zip files. Any email over 6MB needs to be split into separate emails due to size limitations of the MCSC inbox. All attached documents requested herein shall be compatible with Microsoft (MS) Office 2007 format and/or PDF. Any graphics files embedded within the MS documents shall be provided in *.jpg in order to minimize memory storage requirements for electronic files. Landscape pages shall face right. The font size for text contained in embedded graphics (tables and illustrations) shall be no smaller than 8 point

Times New Roman or Arial Narrow font. All Attachments will be counted against page limitations when applicable.

4. Instructions for Content:

Confine all information pertaining to each indicated topic to the appropriate volume and section. No cost or pricing information of any kind shall be included in the Technical Volume.

Offerors shall prepare and provide 4 volumes:

a) Volume 1- Technical Volume consisting of five Sections:

i) Section One - Within a 1 page limitation, provide a statement as follows:

In submitting this proposal, we ACKNOWLEDGE, UNDERSTAND, AND

SHALL PERFORM, when directed, the following PWS requirements in accordance with Attachment 1 PWS and Attachment 2 QASP of the Base ID/IQ contract, and as directed in any Task Order specific attachments:

PWS Sections 3.1 - 3.6

PWS Sections 4.1.1 - 4.1.11

PWS Section 7

ii) Section Two - Within a 35 page limit, provide a technical approach in accordance with Exhibit C and D (Task Order Matrix and Task Order PWS) which demonstrates the offeror’s ability to meet the table of critical items in

Figure 1 below. Again, Offerors are cautioned against general, vague, or unsubstantiated statements, which prevent or render difficult the Government's evaluation of the proposal. Statements such as "will comply," or "noted and understood" without supporting narrative to define compliance are not acceptable. Further, a proposal that merely "parrots back" the requirements of the solicitation, but fails to provide the required approach to meet the solicitation's requirements is not acceptable.

iii) Section Three – No Page Limit. As an ID/IQ will be awarded as a result of this solicitation, Services within the scope can/will be required at a later date on an

“as needed” basis. The Government intends to utilize the proposed fixed hourly burdened rates and individual labor categories for all other task orders awarded under the ID/IQ. Therefore, the offeror shall provide a table of ALL labor categories and fully burdened rates utilized in the tables submitted under Section

1 of Volume III (please see Example Table 3 below). This table will be incorporated into the base contract as Attachment 3.

In addition, as a supplement to the table, the Offeror shall provide a corresponding labor category definition of each labor category listed to include

Knowledge Skills and Abilities, years of experience, training, and education.

The rates in Attachment 3 will then be utilized, with their corresponding labor category as a ceiling price rates for all TOs. Labor rates are fixed for all contract year periods, and ARE NOT subject to any escalation through the course of the ordering periods. This is to ensure contractors cannot

“buy-in” during the first year of performance. The Government WILL

NOT consider allowing the contractor to include escalation in its pricing submission.

EVALUATION CRITERIA

The Government intends to make award to the offeror that results in the lowest total price and is technically acceptable to the Government. Technically Acceptable will be evaluated in terms of

Compensation Plan, Technical Approach, and Past Performance.

Upon proposal Submission, the Government will perform an initial review to:

1) ensure the proposal substantially conforms with the preparation instructions; and

2) evaluate the compensation plan as Acceptable or Unacceptable in accordance with FAR

52.222-46. An Acceptable Plan provides compensation levels that demonstrate a clear understanding of the work to be performed and indicates the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep suitably qualified personnel to meet mission objectives and to meet the requirements of the solicitation.

Offerors whose proposals do not substantially conform with the preparation instructions or provide an Unacceptable Compensation Plan will be rejected and not be able to be reviewed for

Technical Approach and Past Performance.

Applicable to Compensation Plan

Compensation Plan

Rating Description

Acceptable

Proposal clearly provides compensation levels that a demonstrate a clear understanding of work to be performed and indicate the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep suitably qualified personnel to meet mission objectives meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not clearly provide compensation levels that a demonstrate a clear understanding of work to be performed and indicate the capability of the proposed compensation structure to obtain and keep suitably qualified personnel to meet mission objectives meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Next, the Government will create a table of offerors listed in descending order of price, lowest to highest, whose proposals substantially conformed to the preparation instructions and also provided an Acceptable

Compensation Plan. Price will be calculated by adding up the total Task Order price for each SLIN (or

CLIN if no SLINs) and ODCs/Travel.

Next, only the lowest priced proposal will be evaluated for Technical Approach and Past Performance:

i) Technical Approach: The Technical approach shall be evaluated on an

Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. Acceptable or Unacceptable will be established on evidence provided by the Offeror in its response to this solicitation for the requirements listed in the Technical Volume, paragraphs 4.a)i) through and

4.a)v). The Source Selection Team will denote the offeror’s demonstration of meeting a requirement on a Yes/No basis (see Exhibit A to the RFP, Evaluation

Criteria Checklist). Should any one requirement not be met, the entire proposal will be Technically Unacceptable. Offerors are cautioned that proposals may be considered Technically Unacceptable due to lack of minimum content or failure to address all evaluated areas.

Applicable to Technical Approach:

Technical Approach

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the requirements of the solicitation.

ii) Past Performance: The Government will evaluate Past Performance as Acceptable, Unacceptable or Neutral based on the Offeror’s proposed recent performance record on relevant programs and the Government’s expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Acceptable or Unacceptable will be established via Contractor Past Performance proposed, and Contractor Performance Assessment reporting System

(CPARS)/Past Performance Questionnaires. If there is insufficient evidence that the Offeror was able to mitigate or resolve the issues described, then an unacceptable past performance rating may be assigned. As this is a set aside for

8(a) companies, prior to a past performance rating of Unacceptable being assigned, the Government will also contact the Small Business Administration for referral.

A Neutral rating will be assigned to Offerors with no recent and/or relevant Past

Performance.

The Government reserves the right to use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror, including, but not limited to, Federal, State, and local Government agencies, Better Business

Bureaus, published media and the Past Performance Information Retrieval

System.

Applicable to Past Performance

Past Performance

Acceptable

Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort in a

DoD environment.

Unacceptable

Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort in a DoD environment.

Neutral

In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance and for whom information on past performance is not available; the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. Therefore, the

Offeror shall be determined to have a neutral past performance rating.

If the lowest priced Offeror is found Unacceptable, the Government will then progress through the remaining offerors based on the next lowest-priced (one at a time) until an offeror is determined to be

Technically Acceptable.

While the Government intends to award without discussions, it reserves the right to conduct discussions should the Contracting Officer deem it necessary.

Once an Offeror is found to be Technically Acceptable, no other Offeror priced higher will be reviewed.

(b) 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.
