52.212-1 ADDENDUM

This is a FAR Part 12 procurement that uses FAR Subpart 13.5, Simplified Procedures for Certain Commercial Items.

After receipt of proposals, the Government may, with or without notice, negotiate with and, if desired, seek proposal revisions from as many or as few Offerors as it, in its discretion, deems appropriate.

Offers are solicited on an “all or none” basis. Failure to submit an offer for all requirements of the PWS shall be the cause for rejection of the offer. Non-compliance with any of the provisions herein may lead the Government to determine that a proposal is non-compliant and may result in removal from the evaluation.

Proposals shall be submitted electronically using Microsoft Word (*.docx), Microsoft Excel (*.xlsx), and/or Adobe (*.pdf) format to Mr. F. Paul Lirio (francis.lirio@usmc.mil). Offerors are advised that the Government may be unable to receive other types of electronic files (e.g., *.xls and *.zip files) or files in excess of eight (8) megabytes. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to ensure that their proposal is received by the date and time listed on the SF1449. No oral presentations will be requested or considered.

The proposal must demonstrate an understanding of and ability to meet all of the requirements set forth in the RFP’s performance work statement (PWS). The Offeror shall provide sufficient detail to substantiate the validity of all statements. The Offeror shall demonstrate that the proposal is in compliance with the requirements, terms, and conditions of the RFP. Comprehensive responses to the requirements of the RFP are required to enable the Government to evaluate the Offeror’s understanding of and capability to accomplish the requirements of the PWS.

General statements that the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well known techniques will be used, or paraphrasing the solicitation’s requirements in whole or in part, will NOT constitute compliance. Failure to conform to any of the requirements of the solicitation may form the basis for rejection of the proposal.

Brochuremanship is not desired. Clarity, completeness, and conciseness are essential and the overall quality of the proposal will be evaluated in the context of being representative of the Offeror’s services. An Offeror’s proposal is presumed to represent the best efforts to respond to the solicitation.

Since only the proposal submitted in response to this solicitation will be evaluated, Offerors should make certain that their proposal is complete with regard to the information provided. Data previously submitted or presumed to be known, e.g., previous projects performed for the Government, will not be considered in the evaluation unless that information is physically contained in the proposal.

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INFORMATION

Proposals shall be presented in three (3) separate volumes:

• Volume I – Technical

• Volume II – Past Performance

• Volume III – Price and Solicitation Documents

VOLUME I MUST NOT CONTAIN ANY PRICING DATA

Proposal format requirements:

• 8.5 x 11 inch paper

• Single-spaced typed lines

• 1 inch margins on all sides

• No smaller than 12 point font, Times New Roman

• Graphs and drawings must be clear and legible

• No photographs or hyperlinks are permitted

• Microsoft Office and/or Adobe compatible files are required o Microsoft Excel documents must be in *.xlsx format

Each volume of the proposal shall be clearly marked as to the volume number, the solicitation number, and the Contractor’s name. Pages shall be numbered consecutively within each volume showing volume and page. For example, page 9 of Volume I would be numbered I-9 and page 10 of Volume II would be numbered II-10.

Offerors are advised that the Government may selectively verify any information provided in the proposal. Offerors are cautioned that they are responsible to ensure that material that they desire to have evaluated for a particular section is contained in that specific section.

VOLUME I: TECHNICAL

The Offeror's technical volume submission shall include all relevant supporting information required or specified in the Solicitation. This Volume shall be limited to fifteen (15) pages, not including exhibits and attachments.

Individual resumes shall not exceed two (2) pages per resume. All supplemental documentation to the technical proposal, such as foldouts, charts, figures, tables, or resumes, are not included in the fifteen (15) page limit and shall be included as an Appendix. Cover pages, table of contents, and other front matter are not included in the page limit. All material in excess of the page limits will neither be read nor evaluated.

Factor 1 – Technical Capabilities:

Offerors shall:

a. Describe the technical approach towards completing the PWS requirements. The technical approach needs to demonstrate knowledge and understanding of the technical and programmatic requirements in the PWS and needs to articulate the offeror’s capability to provide continuous quality support to the NexLog requirement.

b. Demonstrate the capacity and skills to support the identified mission areas, an understanding of the priorities and emerging issues within those areas, and the capabilities to execute a comprehensive approach that ensures quality performance and use of resources to meet the objectives.

c. Submit resumes demonstrating the Key Personnel meet the minimum qualifications set forth in the PWS.

VOLUME II: PAST PERFORMANCE

Factor 2 – Past Performance:

Offerors are requested to provide information on up to two (2) previous Government contracts whose effort is recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. If the Offeror does not have recent and relevant past performance experience, then the Offeror must make an affirmative statement to this effect.

a. “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last five (5) years. If the offeror has not had two (2) Government contracts within the last five (5) years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

b. “Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

i. Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the PWS.

ii. Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the PWS.

iii. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the PWS. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

For each of the past performance experience identified, the Offeror shall:

a. Describe how the work was/is similar to NexLog’s requirement in terms of the scope, magnitude, and complexity.

b. Identify a Point of Contact (POC) (e.g. Contracting Officer, Contracting Officer’s Representative, Contracting

Officer’s Technical Representative, or Government Program Manager), the name of the contracting agency, agency representative, telephone number, and email address.

c. Include the type of contract, contract number (if applicable), dollar value, a brief description of the work performed, problems encountered during contract performance, and corrective actions taken.

a. All information relating to pricing data shall be included in Volume III. The price proposal shall cover all aspects of the proposed effort. Data contained in the price proposal shall be consistent with data contained in Volume I and the filled-out CLINs in the RFP. The price data shall support the level of resources required to complete the requirements of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide sufficient price information to allow the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of the proposed price. The price proposal shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel 2007 (or later) format (*.xlsx).

b. Offerors shall provide their price proposal using the Pricing Template included as Attachment A. This template provides a breakdown of pricing to include all direct and indirect costs to perform the work. Offerors shall provide a price proposal that includes a breakdown of pricing. This is a firm-fixed-price effort; therefore, all labor rates and pricing totals shall be inclusive of all overhead, G&A, profit, etc.

c. NOTE: In accordance with Sections 12.0 and 13.0 of the PWS, travel and ODCs, respectively, will be funded by the Government on a reimbursable basis when required. The Government has estimated the travel and ODCs during each period of performance and those amounts are included in the Pricing Template (Attachment A). For evaluation purposes, the Government will use the Government estimated values.

d. CLINs – The Offeror shall fill in the firm-fixed-price for each of the CLINs in the solicitation, which should match their completed Price Proposal (Attachment A).

Travel shall be scheduled during normal duty hours whenever possible.

Travel Reimbursement. The Contractor shall be reimbursed for the reasonable actual cost of transportation, lodging, meals and incidental expenses. However, actual costs shall be considered reasonable, allowable, and reimbursable only to the extent that they do not exceed on a daily basis the maximum per diem rate in effect at the time of travel as set forth in the DOD Joint Travel Regulations located at http://www.defensetravel.dod.mil/. Actual cost does not include handling charges, general and administrative cost, overhead, profit or any other indirect cost.

The Contractor shall use the allowable Government personnel rates for transportation and lodging. Reimbursement for airfare shall not exceed the lowest customary standard, coach, or equivalent airfare quoted during normal business hours. The Contractor will not be reimbursed for travel expenses unless audited records for transportation contain evidence, such as original receipts, substantiating actual expenses incurred for travel. In no event will reimbursement exceed the published rates of common carriers. Expenses for lodging, meals and incidental expenses shall be reimbursed to the Contractor, provided that the overnight stay was documented as necessary.

The contract includes a not-to-exceed funding limitation for travel costs. When the Contractor expects total funding expended for reimbursable travel to reach 85 percent of the total funds available on the travel CLIN, the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer and the COR and any other Government official identified by the Contracting Officer.

In the event notification is made orally, such notification shall be followed up in writing within two (2) business days.

No notice, communication, or representation from any person other than the Contracting Officer shall affect the Government’s obligation to reimburse the Contractor.

13.0 Other Direct Costs (ODC)

In the event that additional or specialized equipment, services, and/or supplies are required, the Government will reimburse the Contractor only for the actual price paid for such services, equipment, or supplies that are expressly identified as reimbursable items by this contract or any order issued thereunder. Actual Price paid by the Contractor includes tax paid, if any, and reduced by any and all credits and rebates, whether accrued or realized, associated with the supplies and services provided.

The Contracting Officer may reduce the reimbursement by any amount above that the Contracting Officer finds, in his/her sole discretion, is greater than that which is fair and reasonable for the supplies or services provided, giving due consideration to the facts and circumstances prevailing at the time that the Contractor procured the supplies and services. Disputes as to the amount by which any reimbursement is reduced shall be resolved in accordance with the Disputes clause of the contract. It shall be the Contractor’s burden to demonstrate that the price it paid for reimbursable supplies and services were fair and reasonable.

The Contractor is not obligated to continue performance of any reimbursable work under this Contract or otherwise incur costs for reimbursable ODCs in excess of the funded amount stated on a reimbursable CLIN unless the Contracting Officer notifies the Contractor that the funded amount stated on the reimbursable CLIN has been increased. Notification shall be in writing. In the event notification is made orally, such notification shall be followed up in writing within two (2) business days.

No notice, communication, or representation from any person other than the Contracting Officer shall affect the Government’s obligation to reimburse the Contractor.
