EVALUATION OF OFFERS

This is a commercial services acquisition. The Government intends to award a single-source FIRM FIXED PRICE, Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ), Time & Materials (T&M) contract to the Offeror whose quotation is determined to be the Best Value. Contract award will be made to the source who offers the complete Best Value solution. A quotation will be deemed technically acceptable if it meets the Performance Specifications which are applicable to the services being offered.

This acquisition will utilize full and open competition.

Offerors shall propose offers for all the aforementioned CLINs. Offers for any CLIN or combination of CLINs may not be conditioned upon the Government also accepting other parts of the offer for a CLIN or CLINs where the offer has not been found to be the Best Value offer for that CLIN.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

The Contracts Office, Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA) is soliciting a quotation for the following pending requirement. This procurement is issued in accordance with the format under FAR Subpart

12.6 – “Streamlined Procedures for Evaluation and Solicitation for Commercial Items,” FAR Subpart 15.2 – “Solicitation and Receipt of Proposals and Information,” FAR Subpart 15.3 – “Source Selection,” and FAR Subpart 16.5 – “Indefinite-Delivery Contracts”, as supplemented with additional information included in this notice.

The solicitation document and incorporated provisions and clauses are those in effect through Federal Acquisition Circular 2005-65, Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations Supplement Change Notice 20121231, and the Joint Contracting Command Iraq/Afghanistan Acquisition Instruction dated 1 APR 2009.

This is an unrestricted procurement on a primarily Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP), Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) basis with selected Time & Material CLINs for contingency operations.

The procurement is for Tactical System Support (TSS) Professional Engineering Services (PES) to be delivered to Marine Corps Tactical Systems Support Activity (MCTSSA), MCB Camp Pendleton, CA, and worldwide locations.

All responsible sources may submit a quotation which, if timely received, will be considered by the Agency.

The period of performance is one (1) year, with possibly three (3) option year periods to follow. It is anticipated that the performance will begin on 7 May 2013.

This is a new requirement and is related but not equal to the scope or price of the existing CEOss TSOF task order (BPA M67854-02-A-9004-0084). Offerors are directed to base their offers on this ID/IQ opportunity and NOT to the existing task order. It is expected that the proposed mix of analytical, engineering, technical, administrative, management, and logistics staffing will be significantly different than the current CEOss TSOF task order. Offerors should reference their price quotation and labor mix based on the addendum tables in support the requirements of the PWS and QASP.

The following have been deleted:

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

EVALUATION FACTORS

Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 & -2:

Offeror shall submit a separate Technical, Personnel, and Price Quotations. The Technical Quotation shall not contain pricing information.

Offers will be determined “Technically Acceptable” or “Technically Unacceptable” based on the following:

Factor 1. Technical Understanding and Approach

The Offeror shall describe in a narrative format their technical understanding of the Tactical Systems Support (TSS) Professional Engineering Services (PES), and the technical approach to meeting the requirements of the attached Performance Work Statement (PWS), Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), along with any innovative solutions. The Offeror shall describe their ability to provide continuous quality support for the TSS PES efforts described in the PWS.

This factor may not exceed 60 pages (to include Cover/Title Page, Table of Contents, Acronym List, PWS Compliance Matrix/Cross-Reference, and Transition Plan).

The Government will evaluate if the Offeror demonstrates a thorough understanding of the proposed work through their submitted Technical Quotation concerning the technical TSS requirements and identifies a sound technical approach to meeting the objectives and performance requirements of the PWS and QASP.

Ratings Description

Meets Proposal clearly meets all the requirements of the solicitation.

Does not Meet Proposal does not clearly meet all the requirements of the solicitation.

Exceeds Proposal exceeds all or most of the requirements of the solicitation.

Other Technical Criteria. Material omission(s) may cause the technical proposal to be rejected as unacceptable.

Proposals which are generic, vague, or lacking in detail may be considered unacceptable. The Offeror’s failure to include information that the Government has indicated should be included may result in the proposal being found deficient if inadequate detail is provided. The Government cannot make award based on a deficient offer.

Transition Plan. The Offeror shall include a discussion of their transition plan for migrating support from the incumbent (if applicable), and mitigating the associated risks. The Transition Plan shall not exceed 5 pages.

Factor 2. Personnel Qualifications

Offeror shall identify the names of key personnel (providing resumes) and the methods to be used to fill other personnel positions with qualified and experienced TSS technical personnel throughout the contract period. Offeror shall describe relevant TSS technical qualifications, currency of skills, and required experience of key personnel (identified as the TSS Program Manager and the TSS Technical Manager) and the correlation of key personnel to the work requirements; required security clearances for all personnel; estimated labor hours for each task and/or subtask in the PWS; and total estimated hours proposed for each labor category.

This factor may not exceed 30 pages. Offerors may submit supporting documentation (i.e., resumes, staff matrix, contingency hire letters, etc.), however, the total combined submission shall not exceed 30 pages.

The Government will evaluate the proposed personnel to ensure that they have at least five (5) years of experience or equal and expertise in tactical C4I systems, and shall be otherwise qualified to perform the work described herein. The Offeror shall provide resume(s) for key personnel.

Meets Proposal clearly meets all the requirements of the solicitation.

Does not Meet Proposal does not clearly meet all the requirements of the solicitation.

Exceeds Proposal exceeds all or most of the requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 3. Past Performance

Offeror shall submit a listing of relevant past contracts pertaining to its experience over the past three (3) years in performing TSS and engineering support or like services as described in the PWS. The list shall contain the contract number, dollar value, description of project, Government points of contact (name, address, telephone number, and email address), and cite any challenges encountered and overcome. Performance assessments will focus on Department of Defense contracts. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) shall be sent by the Offeror to their customers to allow for sufficient time for completion and forwarding directly back to the PCO and Contract Specialist by the due date.

This factor may not exceed 10 pages (does not include PPQs).

The Government will evaluate whether the Offeror and/or proposed personnel (if applicable) demonstrate a successful performance history in meeting and managing the same or similar technical requirements. The Government may use information other than that provided by the Offeror in its evaluation of past performance. The PPQ is a method of collecting this information to include personal knowledge as well as other references. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Offeror will receive a "neutral" rating and will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for past performance.

Meets Based on the OFR’s performance/delivery record, the GOV has a reasonable expectation that the OFR will successfully perform/deliver the required effort, or the OFR’s performance record is unknown. (See note below.)

Does not Meet Based on the OFR’s performance/delivery record, the GOV has no reasonable expectation that the OFR will be able to successfully perform/deliver the required effort.

Note: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)).

Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Sources of Past Performance Information for Evaluation. Sources are as follows:

• Past performance information may be provided by the Offeror, as solicited.

• Past performance information may be obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition.

• Past performance information shall also be obtained from any other sources available to the Government to include, but not limited to, CPARS, PPIRS, EPLS, or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, PCOs, and Fee-Determining Officials; and the Defense Contract Management Agency.

• The Contract Specialist will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance competence assessment.

Factor 4. Price/Cost

Offeror shall submit a proposed price for each task and/or subtask in their submitted technical quotation, list the labor category, the number of hours for the labor category, the fully burdened hourly rate, and the total labor cost for each task and/or subtask, which shall correlate to the estimated labor hours proposed in Factor 2. Proposed prices shall not be more than the prices offered to the general public for the same labor category. Offeror shall clearly identify firm labor prices by labor category for each option period.

Other Direct Costs, if required, shall be identified and supported by a breakout to include identification of the cost element and the rationale. Travel costs shall be within the Department of Defense Joint Travel Regulations.

General and Administrative (G&A) and Overhead (OH) rates shall not be separately priced.

This factor may not exceed 50 pages.

The Government will evaluate if the Offeror demonstrates price reasonableness by comparing the fixed-price hourly rates offered to commercial prices for similar services, and historical data obtained from other Government agencies.

Price Proposal/Payment Schedule. Provide a breakout of your participating team members (i.e., labor), associated schedules, travel, and Other Direct Costs (ODC) necessary to support your technical approach, mapped to both the appropriate WBS element and the associated CLIN. Provide any discount that you intend to apply to your total pricing. ODCs that are considered “unique, or exceptional” must be clearly delineated at the time of proposal submission to be considered for payment during the period of performance. Unauthorized purchases will not be authorized as ODCs. The price proposal shall contain pricing for the base period and option periods.

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:

(i) Technical Understanding & Approach

(ii) Personnel Qualifications

(iii) Price

(iv) Past Performance

Technical Approach and Personnel are significantly more important than Price. Price is more important than Past Performance.

(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)

Ratings Description

Meets Based on the OFR’s submitted price, the GOV has a reasonable expectation that the OFR has submitted reasonable pricing substantiated by historical contract data or printed commercial price lists found on the open market or though GSA.

Does not Meet Based on the OFR’s submitted price, the GOV has determined that the OFR did not submit reasonable pricing substantiated by historical contract data, DCMA FPRA, or printed commercial price lists.
