SECTION L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

Addendum to 52.212-1: Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items

PART A– GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION

This section of the Instructions to Offerors (ITO) provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested by the ITO and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Non-conformance with the instructions provided in the ITO may result in a proposal evaluation of unacceptable.

(a) North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and small business size standard. The NAICS code and small business size standard for this acquisition appear in Block 10 of the solicitation cover sheet (SF 1449). However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture, is 500 employees.

(b) Submission of offers. Submit signed and dated offers to the office specified in this solicitation at or before the exact time specified in this solicitation. Offers must be submitted on the SF 1449 and must be submitted as specified in “Part A – General Instructions” and “Part B – Specific Instruction” and contain the minimum information required to be considered acceptable.

(c) Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 120 calendar days from the date specified for receipt of offers, unless another time period is specified in an addendum to the solicitation.

(d) Late submissions, modifications, revisions, and withdrawals of offers.

(1) Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office designated in the solicitation by the time specified in the solicitation. If no time is specified in the solicitation, the time for receipt is 2:00 p.m., local time, for the designated Government office on the date that offers or revisions are due.

(2)(i) Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received at the Government office designated in the solicitation after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is “late” and will not be considered unless it is received before award is made, the Contracting Officer determines that accepting the late offer would not unduly delay the acquisition; and—

(A) If it was transmitted through an electronic commerce method authorized by the solicitation, it was received at the initial point of entry to the Government infrastructure not later than 5:00 p.m. one working day prior to the date specified for receipt of offers; or

(B) There is acceptable evidence to establish that it was received at the Government installation designated for receipt of offers and was under the Government’s control prior to the time set for receipt of offers; or

(C) If this solicitation is a request for proposals, it was the only proposal received.

(ii) However, a late modification of an otherwise successful offer, that makes its terms more favorable to the Government, will be considered at any time it is received and may be accepted.

(3) Acceptable evidence to establish the time of receipt at the Government installation includes the time/date stamp of that installation on the offer wrapper, other documentary evidence of receipt maintained by the installation, or oral testimony or statements of Government personnel.

(4) If an emergency or unanticipated event interrupts normal Government processes so that offers cannot be received at the Government office designated for receipt of offers by the exact time specified in the solicitation, and urgent Government requirements preclude amendment of the solicitation or other notice of an extension of the closing date, the time specified for receipt of offers will be deemed to be extended to the same time of day specified in the solicitation on the first work day on which normal Government processes resume.

(5) Offers may be withdrawn by written notice received at any time before the exact time set for receipt of offers. An offer may be withdrawn in person by an offeror or its authorized representative if, before the exact time set for receipt of offers, the identity of the person requesting withdrawal is established and the person signs a receipt for the offer.

(e) Contract award. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

(f) Availability of requirements documents cited in the solicitation.

(1)(i) The GSA Index of Federal Specifications, Standards and Commercial Item Descriptions, FPMR Part 101-29, and copies of specifications, standards, and commercial item descriptions cited in this solicitation may be obtained for a fee by submitting a request to—

Factor 1 – Technical Capability

Factor 2 – Price

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Award will be made to the responsible Offeror on the basis of the lowest evaluated price of acceptable technical proposals.

M-1.1 FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

The Offeror’s technical proposal will be evaluated based upon the technical capability elements in paragraph M-1.1.1 of this solicitation and will be rated as either acceptable or unacceptable as defined below. Offerors must satisfy all requirements described in the solicitation. Offerors that take exception to any requirement outlined in Section C, “Statement of Work,” criteria, or any parts outlined in Attachment (1) of Section J, will be evaluated as unacceptable.

ACCEPTABLE – The proposal meets specified spares requirements contained in Section C, “Statement of Work,” under “Descriptions and Specifications” which are necessary for acceptable contract performance, and meets the delivery schedule in Section F. In addition, the proposal outlines a minimum of 5 years relevant experience that demonstrates both technical capability to deliver the range and depth of the required commercial common parts to both CONUS and OCONUS locations within the required delivery schedule and the proposal includes an executable methodology to transport parts domestically and to the identified international locations. Further, the proposal includes a Small Business Plan, if applicable.

UNACCEPTABLE – The proposal fails to meet specified spares requirements contained in Section C, Statement of Work, under Descriptions and Specifications which are necessary for acceptable contract performance, and/or fails to meet the delivery schedule in Section F, and/or fails to have a minimum of 5 years relevant experience that demonstrates both technical capability to deliver the range and depth of the required commercial common parts to both CONUS and OCONUS locations within the required delivery schedule, and/or fails to include an executable methodology to transport parts domestically and to the identified international locations and/or fails to include a Small Business Plan, if applicable.

FACTOR 2 – PRICE

All Offerors whose proposals are technically acceptable will be placed in the potential award pool and the Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for the proposal will be calculated. The Total Evaluated Price (TEP) for P-8A Spares consists of the sum of an Offeror’s proposed extended prices for each item for which the offeror is required to submit a firm fixed price proposal (this includes ALL parts outlined in Attachment (1)).

Each Offeror’s price proposal shall be evaluated to determine if it is complete and consistent with the offeror’s technical approach, reflects a clear understanding of the solicitation requirements and contains no material imbalances. Price proposals evaluated to be imbalanced and/or incomplete may be found unacceptable and rejected without further evaluation, deliberation, or discussion.

M-1.3 FACTOR 3 – PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror in the potential award pool with acceptable technical capability whose TEP is lowest will be the potential awardee and evaluated for past performance.

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s demonstrated successful completion of contract requirements (or whether it is meeting the terms of ongoing contracts) on contracts where the offeror was required to:

1) Procure commercial aircraft spares

2) Deliver commercial aircraft spares to both CONUS and OCONUS locations

Past performance information will be used to assess the Offeror's track record during the performance of similar or like efforts. This evaluation will be based on information submitted by the Offeror and other available sources. Offerors who have no relevant performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably for past performance. The Government will evaluate past performance using the information provided by each Offeror, other customers known to the Government, consumer protection organizations, available Contract Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs), and others who may have useful and relevant information. This evaluation will address:

How successful the Offeror's and (if applicable) its principal subcontractors' and critical team members' have performed / delivered similar efforts under prior contracts, including but not limited to, the Offeror's ability to meet technical, cost and schedule requirements, and small business performance relative to their goals. Problems not addressed by the Offeror will be considered as still existing issues.

Past performance will be evaluated as either acceptable, unacceptable, or neutral as defined below:

ACCEPTABLE: Successful performance on at least half of the evaluated contracts. The past performance evaluation assesses the offeror’s ability to meet technical, cost, and schedule requirements.

NEUTRAL – No relevant past performance record identifiable. For purposes of this evaluation, “neutral” is evaluated as acceptable.

UNACCEPTABLE – Failure to successfully perform on at least half of submitted contracts. The past performance evaluation assesses the offeror’s ability to meet technical, cost, and schedule requirements.

If the potential awardee is evaluated to have a past performance risk rating of unacceptable, the offeror’s proposal will be found unacceptable and removed from the potential award pool. The offeror in the potential award pool with the next lowest TEP will them become the potential awardee and their past performance will be evaluated.

BASIS FOR AWARD

The proposal with acceptable technical capability, acceptable past performance (including “neutral” for having no past performance information), and lowest TEP, will be subject to the requirements of FAR Subpart 9.1 as part of the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination.

If the potential awardee is determined by the Contracting Officer to not be responsible, the offeror’s proposal will be found unacceptable and removed from the potential award pool. The offeror in the potential award pool with acceptable technical capability with the next lowest TEP will then become the potential awardee and their past performance will be evaluated. Contract award for the Boeing 737 Commercial Common Spares will be made to the responsible Offeror proposing the lowest price, technically acceptable offer for all CLINs meeting the requirements of the solicitation.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful Offeror within the time for acceptance of an 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.

M-3

DISCUSSIONS

It is the Government’s intent to award without discussions; therefore it is imperative that Offerors submit their best offer initially. However, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions the Offeror’s responses Evaluation Notices (EN), and the final proposal revision will be considered in making the source selection decision. If discussions are determined to be in the interest of the Government, they will be held in written format.

M-4

SOLICITATION REQUIREMENTS, TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as complete terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being evaluated as unacceptable and ineligible for award.
