SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The standard size code has changed from $15M to 27.5M.

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM 1 TO EVALUATION PLAN

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS - COMMERCIAL ITEMS

CLAUSES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE

52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (FEB 2012)

52.212-1 Addendum INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES 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.

Proposals shall be valid for a period of 120 days from date of submission.

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

(a) All RFCs are due by 10:00 A.M. (local time, Quantico, VA) on January 04, 2016.

The Government will strictly adhere to the evaluation criteria contained in FAR 52.212-2

Addendum as part of this solicitation. Offerors are responsible for generating their best proposal efforts. Ensure each section of the proposal adequately contains all the information necessary for evaluation. Proposal parts shall address the following information:

5. Instructions for Preparation of Proposal Content

Part I: Technical Approach

The Offeror shall provide a Technical Approach that demonstrates realistic and appropriate allocation of resources to accomplish the objectives outlined in the Base IDIQ Attachment 1 –

PWS; Task Order 0001 Exhibit B – PWS; and Task Order 0002 Exhibit C - PWS in support of

PM IS&I projects, programs, and strategic enterprise initiatives through competency subject matter expertise in administrative, program management, logistics, engineering, contracting, and financial management areas.

The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s Technical Approach to determine whether it fully addresses all the requirements from the Base IDIQ Attachment 1 – PWS; Task Order 0001

Exhibit B – PWS; and Task Order 0002 Exhibit C - PWS and provides a detailed, comprehensive, well-articulated, reasonable, understandable, feasible/realistic approach that can be implemented within the stated parameters (resources, schedule) and that provides sufficient confidence that the approach proposed and experience offered will meet the stated objectives.

Section 1. Technical Approach (General). The Offeror’s response shall be detailed enough to evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of the work to be performed based on the requirements stated in the Base IDIQ Attachment 1 – PWS; Task Order 0001 Exhibit B – PWS; and Task

Order 0002 Exhibit C - PWS and also to each instruction listed below.

Ability to Execute. Describe how the proposed solution and approach supports the following:

1. The Offeror shall describe its approach to provide detailed technical studies and strategic planning deliverables in accordance with Base IDIQ Attachment 1 – PWS paragraph 4.1.1.

These efforts are anticipated to be short term, episodic efforts that are estimated to be 1 to 6 months in duration. It is currently estimated that the program office will require 10 efforts per option year; however, the actual number of efforts is subject to requirements and may be less or more than 10 per ordering period.

2. The Offeror shall describe its approach to support the day to day program office operations at the Tier 0 level (this includes Assistant Program Manager and Technical Staff support) in accordance with Base IDIQ Attachement 1 – PWS paragraphs 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. Assistant

Program Manager and Tier 0 Technical Staff support requires an in depth knowledge of the DoD acquisition framework and associated policies, and requires attendance at multiple meetings in order to support PMM-110 and Command objectives. The Offeror’s approach to providing acquisition support in a competency aligned environment will be evaluated.

3. The Offeror shall describe its approach to provide program management and acquisition support, business management and analytic support, and cost analysis support at the Tier 1 level in accordance with Base IDIQ Attachment 1 – PWS paragraphs 4.2.1, 4.2.2, and 4.2.3.

4. The Offeror shall describe its approach to provide program management, life cycle logistics, and systems engineering support at the Tier 2/3 level in accordance with Base IDIQ Attachment

1 – PWS paragraph 4.3 and associated sub-paragraphs.

5. The Offeror shall describe its approach to provide administrative and operations support in accordance with Base IDIQ Attachment 1 – PWS paragraph 4.4 and associated sub-paragraphs.

6. Task Order 0001 – Approach to accomplish specific tasks in Exhibit B – PWS Task Order

0001.

7. Task Order 0002 – Approach to accomplish specific tasks in Exhibit C – PWS Task Order

0002.

Section 2. Quality Assurance Approach. The Offeror shall describe a holistic approach to quality as it relates to the following:

(a) project deliverables;

(b) capturing, analyzing, and reporting the quality performance measurements and metrics; and

(c) improving performance continuously, including identification of new and revised performance measures and metrics as well as corrective actions for substandard performance.

Part II: Past Performance Information (PPI).

Section 1. Recent and Relevant Past Performance Information. The Offeror shall demonstrate recent and relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no recent and relevant past performance. To demonstrate past performance, the Offeror shall identify a minimum of five (5) of its most recent and relevant contracts or efforts performed for Federal, State, County, or Municipal agencies or commercial customers within the past five years, and provide any other information the Offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Offerors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation. Relevant contracts include acquisition support and program management office support efforts.

Relevance is demonstrated by similarity in integration of proposed products, prior subcontractor partnerships/teaming agreements, size, scope, complexity, and cost/price. The contracts or efforts will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow Offerors who may not have the entire scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement under one individual contract to still be considered acceptable if experience with the full scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of contracts or efforts as described above. "Recent" is defined as work having been performed within the past 5 years.

Ensure that accurate and concise information is provided for each reference including:

(a) Title of Contract, Contract Number, and Sponsoring Organization;

(b) Type of Contract, Contract Value, Award and Completion Date;

(c) Brief description of the services performed, problems identified and corrective action taken, awards/recognition received; and

(d) Cure/Show Cause notices received, and reasons.

These previous contracting efforts should be for work done by the prime or by a subcontractor that was the prime on the previous effort. For each contract effort, identify the Program Manager

(PM) and the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR). Provide the current address, phone number, and email address for each customer POC.

Section 2. Customer Assessments. One Page Limit per customer assessment - The Offeror shall provide the Past Performance Questionnaire, (Exhibit A to the RFP), to each of the customer

POCs for their respective identified past performance efforts. The questionnaire shall be provided to the customer POC with instructions to complete and submit directly to the MCSC

Contracting Office no later than the proposal due date. Electronic submission to

Lindsey.Harris@USMC.MIL and MCSC_ISI@USMC.MIL is preferred; however, hardcopy mail or fax will be accepted. The Offeror shall submit with its proposal a list of the customer POCs

(with contact information to include phone number and email address) that received a Past

Performance Questionnaire.

Should any of the efforts identified be registered in Contractor Performance Assessment

Reporting System (CPARS), the contractor may notify the Government, and the Government will utilize the CPARS report in place of the Questionnaire.

The Government may use past performance information obtained from other than the sources identified by the Offeror. Past performance information can be obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, the Past Performance Information

Retrieval System (PPIRS) and CPARS Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information

System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases;

interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials; and the

The Offeror’s Management Approach must include the Offeror’s planned approach to provide

“surge” support for short term, episodic efforts per paragraph 4.1.1 of the Base IDIQ Attachment

1 – PWS and Task Order 0002 Exhibit C - PWS (Strategic Planning & Technical Studies).

These efforts are anticipated to last from 1 to 6 months in duration for an estimated 10 efforts per years (number of efforts is based on program office requirements and may be more or less as necessary).

(a) Project Staffing Plan. The Offeror shall provide a description of the mix of skills proposed and the numbers needed in the time required that meets the requirements of the Base IDIQ

Attachment 1 – PWS; Task Order 0001 Exhibit B – PWS; and Task Order 0002 Exhibit C -

PWS. If personnel are subcontracted, the approach shall illustrate the method of administration and technical control of the subcontractor(s). The Offeror shall demonstrate what labor categories the Offeror anticipates will be performed under each objective of the Base IDIQ mailto:Lindsey.Harris@USMC.MIL mailto:MCSC_ISI@USMC.MIL

Part IV: Price Proposal.

Section 1. Pricing Information. The Offeror shall provide spreadsheets consisting of the following:

For the ID/IQ PWS:

Labor Categories/Burdened Rates. 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 task orders awarded under the ID/IQ. Therefore, the offeror shall provide a table of ALL labor categories and fully burdened rates necessary to complete the requirements identified in the ID/IQ PWS for each CLIN (e.g. 0001, 0002, etc.). Offerors shall also provide the labor categories and rates for subcontractors as separate lines within the table. (please see

Example Table 4 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.

ii. All dollar amounts should be rounded to the nearest whole dollar.

An Offeror’s proposal is presumed to represent its best efforts to respond to the solicitation. Any inconsistency between promised performance, the technical proposal, identified personnel resources and cost/price must be explained in the proposal. For example, if the intended use of new and innovative techniques is the basis for an abnormally low estimate, the nature of these techniques and their impact on cost or price shall be explained; or, if a corporate policy decision has been made to absorb a portion of the estimated cost, that must be stated in the proposal. Any inconsistency, if unexplained, may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror’s understanding of the nature and scope of the work required and may adversely impact the Offeror’s standing upon evaluation. The burden of proof as to cost credibility rests with the Offeror. Unreasonably low prices may indicate an inability to understand requirements and a high-risk approach to task order performance. Accordingly, the Government may consider the findings of such an analysis in evaluating an Offeror’s ability to perform and the risk of its approach.

Contractor effects any change(s) at the direction of any person other than the Contracting

Officer, these change(s) will be at the Contractor’s expense.

7) NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S) OF

INTEREST

The Offeror is reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, as either a subcontractor or as a prime Contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those existing contractual arrangements in which a Contractor provides support to programs, operations or related activities for Marine

Corps Systems Command PMM 110. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all inclusive. The Offeror’s attention is directed to the "Organizational

Conflict of Interest" (or similar) requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s).

https://doncmra.nmci.navy.mil/

Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with

FAR 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement.

Offerors should review their existing contractual arrangements to determine whether they believe a potential conflict of interest exists, at any tier. If an Offeror believes a potential conflict of interest exists, the Offeror is required to notify the Contracting Officer within seven (7) calendar days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide at this time: (1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a proposed mitigation plan; (6) and any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists.

The Government may independently verify the information received from the Contractor.

Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source. Any Offeror who is determined to have an Organizational Conflict of Interest that cannot, in the Government’s opinion, be mitigated, will be deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition and will have their proposal rejected.

The Government will notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within fourteen (14) calendar days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government’s rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that proposal preparation and any expenditure is at its own risk and will not be reimbursed by the Government if it is determined that an organizational conflict of interest exists.

Any Offeror that proposes a subcontractor later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors continue as part of the evaluation through the normal source selection process.

If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its Executive Summary in response to this solicitation.

52.212-2 Addendum Evaluation - Commercial Items (Jan 1999)

A.1. EVALUATION- COMMERCIAL ITEMS EVALUATION OF OFFERS

a. The Government will evaluate proposals in accordance with the Evaluation Section below.

b. In accordance with FAR 15.306(a), Offerors may be given the opportunity for clarification of certain aspects of their proposal or to resolve minor or clerical errors.

c. Any proposal that does not substantially and materially comply with all of the requirements of this solicitation may be rejected and not considered for further evaluation. Rejection of a proposal on this basis does not constitute creation of a

“competitive range.” Substantially and materially comply includes, but is not limited to:

1) Equal Opportunity Compliance, 2) a complete compensation plan; and 3) proof of

VETS 100 compliance.

d. The Government’s written evaluation will be based upon factors in Section A.3 below.

A.2. BASIS FOR AWARDS

a. The following conditions must be met in order to be eligible for award:

1) The proposal must comply in all material respects with the requirements of the law, regulation and conditions set forth in the solicitation.

2) The proposal must meet all mandatory solicitation requirements.

3) The Offeror must be determined responsible according to the standards of FAR Part

9, Subpart 1.

b. In accordance with 52.215-1 (included by reference in this RFP), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a technical and price standpoint. If the Government awards without discussions, any proposal that receives at least one factor rating of “Unacceptable” will be unacceptable for award and will not be considered during the Best value trade-off.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the KO later determines them to be desired. If the Government decides to conduct discussions, then, in accordance with

FAR 15.306(c)(1), the Government will establish a competitive range comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals. In setting this competitive range, the Government may determine that a proposal that receives a rating of “Marginal” or “Unacceptable” for any one, or any combination, of factors is not amongs t the most “highly rated” proposals and may choose to exclude it from the competitive range.
