Part I: Signed offer

a. The signed and dated proposal along with acknowledgement of all combined synopsis solicitation amendments.

b. Offeror shall fill in all the required clauses.

c. Exceptions / Assumptions (if applicable) - The offeror must identify and explain any exceptions or assumptions, regarding their proposal. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will reject the assumption that successful proposal will be incorporated into the subsequent award.

Part II: Technical Proposal

The technical proposal shall be streamlined and limited to 25 pages as specified previously in section 2.

Submission of Proposals of this provision addendum. Legibility, clarity and coherence are very important. Responses will be evaluated against the factor defined in Clause 52.212-2 , "Evaluation -

Commercial Items." A reading of Section II should leave an evaluator with a detailed understanding of all aspects of the technical proposal. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Statements that the offeror understands, can, or will comply with the PWS (including reference publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as "standard procedures will be employed" or "well known techniques will be used," etc., will be considered unacceptable. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal.

Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. The technical proposal shall correlate to the data submitted under the price proposal but SHALL NOT contain price information. All cross utilization, if applicable, of personnel shall be explained and depicted.

In order for the Government to determine that an offeror is technically acceptable, the following technical information shall be submitted:

FACTOR 1 - Technical Approach – This factor is divided into the following subfactors:

Subfactor 1: Execution Plan

The Offeror shall submit a detailed execution plan demonstrating its understanding of, and approach to, performing the requirements of the PWS. The execution plan should demonstrate the offeror’s approach regarding its organizational structure relative to the performance of this requirement.

The execution plan shall demonstrate the offeror’s ability to meet the Key Personnel requirement in the PWS Section 1.4.11. The Offeror shall detail whether it will engage in any teaming arrangements or contract with subcontractor(s) and what impact the arrangements will have on its execution plan.

Finally, the Execution Plan shall demonstrate the Offeror’s plan to conduct the required training in PWS section 5 when considering travel lead times and other performance requirements in PWS sections

1.4.13 to 1.4.20.

Subfactor 2: Corporate Background and Experience:

Offerors shall provide information to facilitate the Government’s consideration of the technical factor.

The offeror shall provide a minimum of three (3) contract actions to include task order examples and background within the last five (5) years from the RFP closing date that have occurred in the federal and/or commercial marketplace. The examples shall indicate the same/similar magnitude of the services and tasks outlined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS). Magnitude is defined as essentially the same relevant scope of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Relevant scope means contracts performed in providing same or similar intelligence service training including size with an estimated annual value comparable to this requirement. Complexity means contracts for similar work at locations and facilities outside of the United States. The Government is most interested in examples of real work with actual results of the offeror in:

(i) developing and/or modifying Situational Training Exercises (STX) scenarios and Program of Instruction (POIs) to meet government training objectives and in a timely manner with minor input and changes required by the government;

(ii) developing, executing, and managing practical training programs that prepare soldiers to conduct tactical intelligence collection and interrogation support during deployed military operations; and

(2) CI Operations Management, (3) Source de-confliction, and (4) HUMINT reporting management and dissemination and liaison

The documented evidence may take the form of written descriptions or synopsis of past supported events, and/or examples of POIs, scenarios and course material that the Offeror developed for past exercises. The examples of the offerors experience shall address how the offeror staffed and managed the execution of the services/ tasks with its own employees and subcontractors. The Government is more interested in the quality and similarity of the company experience examples to the requirement than the quantity of examples. The offeror shall include the name and contact information of the reference that can substantiate the real example of real work and real results. The Government will not contact the reference to obtain detail lacking from the offerors response.

Part III: Past Performance

(1) Offerors shall submit a list of all contracts considered to be recent and relevant. Recent past performance is defined as work performed within the last five (5) years from the issuance date of the solicitation.

Relevant past performance is defined as work that is similar in scope and magnitude as the services required by this solicitation.

Section 3 – Past Performance Questionnaires - For all contracts identified, Past Performance Questionnaires shall be completed and submitted. The offeror shall e-mail the questionnaire to the technical representative responsible for the past/current contracts. The offeror shall also e-mail a list of all the POC's with contract numbers that were sent questionnaires. The technical representative for the past/current contracts shall be instructed to complete the questionnaire and e-mail the entire completed questionnaire to Mr. Carlos Mayorga, Contract Specialist, e-mail: carlos.mayorga.civ@mail.mil and Mr. John Shaffer, Contracting Officer, e-mail: john.m.shaffer.civ@mail.mil before the closing date and time of the solicitation. It is the responsibility of the offeror to make sure Past Performance Questionnaires are submitted in a timely manner.

Part IV - Price Factor

The offeror shall submit fully burdened firm-fixed prices for all of the line items in US Dollars for all ordering periods by providing a completed MATCH RFP Attachment 1 Pricing Workbook with its proposal submittal.

(End of addendum)

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

Addendum to FAR 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (OCT 2014)

1. BASIS FOR AWARD

(a) The Government will award a contract resulting from this combined synopsis solicitation in accordance with FAR Parts 12 and 13.5 as supplemented by the DFARS and AFARS to a single responsible offeror whose offer, conforming to the solicitation, is determined to be technically acceptable, has acceptable past performance and offers the lowest price. The Government reserves the right to consider as acceptable only those proposals submitted in accordance with all requirements set forth or referenced in this combined synopsis solicitation, which demonstrates an understanding of the scope of the requirement. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

(b) The Government intends to award one contract without discussions/exchanges, but reserves the right to conduct discussions/exchanges (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), 'Clarifications and award without discussions') as a result of the solicitation. Therefore, the offeror's initial proposal shall contain the offeror's best terms and conditions from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful supplier, within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offeror's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

(d) The Government will NOT be making award based upon a tradeoff analysis. In order to be eligible for award, an offeror must be determined to be acceptable in all non-price factors and subfactors.

(e) Proposals will be evaluated for compliance to ensure they met all the requirements outlined in 52.212-1 of this solicitation. Proposals deemed non-compliant will not be evaluated any further and excluded from the competition. The remaining compliant proposals will then be arranged by price from lowest to highest price. The two lowest offers will be evaluated for technical acceptability and past performance. If both offers are deemed acceptable for past performance and technical, then the evaluations will stop and the award will go to the lowest offer. If none of the two lowest priced offers or just one of the lowest priced offers is not acceptable for past performance and technical, then the next lowest priced compliant proposal will be evaluated. This process will end if/when the government has two offers meeting all the requirements outlined in the solicitation.

2. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

(a) Offers that do not conform to the requirements of this combined synopsis solicitation may be rejected at any time after evaluations begin without further evaluation, deliberation or discussion. Offers will be evaluated based on the acceptability standards below:

Factor 1. Technical Approach Subfactor 1 – Execution Plan Subfactor 2 – Corporate Background and Experience

Factor 2: Past Performance

Factor 3: Price

(b) An unacceptable rating for Factor 1, or any of its sub-factors, or 2 will make the proposal ineligible for award.

(c) Technical Approach will be rated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis using the ratings below:

Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Definitions

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 1 - TECHNICAL APPROACH ACCEPTABILITY: Acceptability is met when all its sub-factors are rated acceptable. This factor is divided into the following sub-factors

SUBFACTOR 1 – Execution Plan

Acceptability is met when offeror has been determined to have the ability to provide the minimum requirements to conduct the training identified in PWS section 5 as well as the ability to provide the Key Personnel identified in PWS Section 1.4.11 when considering travel lead times and other performance requirements in PWS sections 1.4.13 to 1.4.20. The Government may elect to take the items identified as strengths from the contractor’s proposal and incorporate them in whole or in part into the purchase order award.

SUBFACTOR 2 – Corporate background/experience

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s response to assess whether the offeror has demonstrated experience performing similar services and the likelihood of successful contract performance.

Acceptability is met when the proposal demonstrates that the offeror has background and experience performing the same/ similar magnitude of services and tasks as described in the Performance Work Statement on three (3) contract actions to include task orders within the last five (5) years from the RFP closing date in the federal and/or commercial marketplace at locations and facilities outside of the United States, with an emphasis in the following areas:

(i) developing and/or modifying Situational Training Exercises (STX) scenarios and Program of Instruction (POIs) to meet government training objectives and in a timely manner with minor input and changes required by the government;

(ii) developing, executing, and managing practical training programs that prepare soldiers to conduct tactical intelligence collection and interrogation support during deployed military operations; and

(iii) conducting recruitment of knowledgeable, qualified, and skilled Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to provide services outside of the United States with experience in (1) HUMINT Operations Management,

(2) CI Operations Management, (3) Source de-confliction, and (4) HUMINT reporting management and dissemination and liaison

FACTOR 2 – PAST PERFORMANCE:

i. Past performance will be rated on an "Acceptable" or "Unacceptable" basis using the ratings below:

Past Performance Acceptable/Unacceptable Rating Definitions Adjectival Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note above)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

The Government may evaluate and use the information presented by the offeror, responses to Past Performance Questionnaires and information obtained from other available sources other than those identified by the offeror (such as past performance obtained from Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media, personal knowledge and electronic data bases available to the Government) to assign the ratings for this factor. The evaluation process will follow the parameters set in the proposal submission instructions section above. The Government will consider any Past Performance Questionnaire rating of “Marginal” or worse as adverse past performance and therefore necessitate a Past Performance evaluation factor rating of “Unacceptable”. Ratings of “Satisfactory” or better will deem an offer “Acceptable”.

Absent any past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an “Acceptable” rating.

RECENT PAST PERFORMANCE - is defined as performance during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of the formal solicitation.

RELEVANT PAST PERFORMANCE is defined as work similar in scope and magnitude as the services required by the solicitation.

It is at the Government's discretion whether past performance information furnished is or is not considered recent and relevant. The Government may reject a proposal if it is found that any information that has a negative impact on the offeror's past performance record has been deleted, misrepresented, or withheld.

Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offerors to explain the relevance of the data provided. Offerors are reminded that while the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of proving an acceptable past performance rests with the offeror.

NOTE: Past performance information is finalized only after the Contractor has had an opportunity to review and respond to Government assessment. The Government reserves the right to utilize other finalized past performance available to the Government if it is determined to be recent and relevant. In evaluating past performance, the Government will evaluate the relevancy and recency of past performance information. Contracts with performance ending three (3) years prior to the date of proposal submission will not be considered in the past performance confidence assessment.

FACTOR 3: PRICE:

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s price based on the prices proposed in the Pricing Workbook attachment to this solicitation. The offeror will provide a completed MATCH Solicitation Attachment 1 – Pricing Workbook with its proposal submittal. The Government will evaluate price by adding the total price for all line items listed in the MATCH Solicitation Attachment 1 – Pricing Workbook.

The Government will perform a price analysis on each proposal in accordance with the procedures established in FAR 13.106-2 and 15.404-1(b). The Government will also evaluate each proposal for completeness, reasonableness, and balance. The price evaluation criteria definitions are provided below:

i. Completeness: An accurate reflection, within the price proposal, of all aspects of the price proposal; offeror compliance with the price preparation instructions in FAR 52.212-1 in the combined synopsis solicitation; and offeror compliance with all other applicable directions in the combined synopsis solicitation.

ii. Price Reasonableness: The determination that the proposed prices and rates to the Government reflect what a prudent person would pay for goods/services when consideration is given to offered prices in the market. Price reasonableness will be determined based on the results of a price analysis, using the offer analysis techniques and procedures defined in FAR 13.106-2 and 15.404-1(b) to ensure a fair and reasonable price. Adequate price competition is expected and may form the basis of price reasonableness.

iii. Unbalanced Pricing: Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price for one or more contract line items is significantly over or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. Unbalanced pricing may indicate a misunderstanding of the contract requirements by the offeror.

iv. Total Evaluated Price: The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all line items listed in the MATCH Solicitation Attachment 1 – Pricing Workbook.

Offerors are required to price all line items except line items designated as “Other Direct Costs.” The total evaluated price for award purposes will not include the Government's estimated amount for line items designated as "Other Direct Costs."

The Government will also evaluate to determine if unbalanced pricing exists. Offers found to be unbalanced may be considered unacceptable and rejected upon that basis.

52.209-5 CERTIFICATION REGARDING RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS (AUG 2020)

(a)(1) The Offeror certifies, to the best of its knowledge and belief, that-

(i) The Offeror and/or any of its Principals-

(A) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently debarred, suspended, proposed for debarment, or declared ineligible for the award of contracts by any Federal agency;

(B) Have ( ) have not ( ), within a three-year period preceding this offer, been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for: commission of fraud or a criminal offense in connection with obtaining, attempting to obtain, or performing a public (Federal, State, or local) contract or subcontract; violation of Federal or State antitrust statutes relating to the submission of offers; or commission of embezzlement, theft, forgery, bribery, falsification or destruction of records, making false statements, tax evasion, violating Federal criminal tax laws, or receiving stolen property (if offeror checks “have”, the offeror shall also see 52.209-7, if included in this solicitation); and

(C) Are ( ) are not ( ) presently indicted for, or otherwise criminally or civilly charged by a governmental entity with, commission of any of the offenses enumerated in paragraph (a)(1)(i)(B) of this provision;

and

(D) Have , have not , within a three-year period preceding this offer, been notified of any delinquent Federal taxes in an amount that exceeds the threshold at 9.104-5(a)(2) for which the liability remains unsatisfied.

(1) Federal taxes are considered delinquent if both of the following criteria apply:

(i) The tax liability is finally determined. The liability is finally determined if it has been assessed. A liability is not finally determined if there is a pending administrative or judicial challenge. In the case of a judicial challenge to the liability, the liability is not finally determined until all judicial appeal rights have been exhausted.

(ii) The taxpayer is delinquent in making payment. A taxpayer is delinquent if the taxpayer has failed to pay the tax liability when full payment was due and required. A taxpayer is not delinquent in cases where enforced collection action is precluded.

(2) Examples. (i) The taxpayer has received a statutory notice of deficiency, under I.R.C. Sec. 6212, which entitles the taxpayer to seek Tax Court review of a proposed tax deficiency. This is not a delinquent tax because it is not a final tax liability. Should the taxpayer seek Tax Court review, this will not be a final tax liability until the taxpayer has exercised all judicial appeal rights.

(ii) The IRS has filed a notice of Federal tax lien with respect to an assessed tax liability, and the taxpayer has been issued a notice under I.R.C. Sec. 6320 entitling the taxpayer to request a hearing with the IRS Office of Appeals contesting the lien filing, and to further appeal to the Tax Court if the IRS determines to sustain the lien filing.
