SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

L-1 CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SUPPLIES OR SERVICES)

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

Offerors are required to submit sufficient information concerning all evaluation factors to enable Government personnel to fully assess the capabilities of the Offeror to perform all requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to enable evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s approach, expertise, experience and capability as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of all requirements and associated risks; is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet all requirements; and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements and potential risk areas. The Offeror shall not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The burden of proof for all substantiation within the proposal rests with the Offeror. Offerors are advised that the Government may incorporate any part of the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the Government, into the final contract. With the exception of Volume 5 Price/Cost, no Price/Cost information should appear in any other volume. Alternate proposals are not acceptable.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to present enough information to allow the various work efforts, support, and management approaches, as well as Price/Cost, to be meaningfully evaluated. Unsubstantiated statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can or will comply with the specifications, or paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof are considered inadequate and may render a rating of unacceptable.

The Offeror shall include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. There is no need to repeat information in more than one volume. The detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas if an overlap exists.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

Offerors are expected to comply with all requirements of the RFP. The Government advises Offerors that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the Offeror ineligible for award, unless the RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the RFP that is not expressly authorized by the RFP to be a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001. Additionally, any approach that relies on Government resources or operations (e.g., Government Furnished Property, Government

Furnished Equipment, Government personnel/actions, Government Concept of Operation changes, etc.) in order to comply with a requirement, unless otherwise allowed, may be considered non-compliant.

Throughout these instructions, Offeror is defined as the prime contractor with its CAGE code identified in Block

15A on Standard Form (SF)-33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. “Principal Subcontractors” are defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 10% of the proposed total Price/Cost for the contract. A “Joint Venture” (JV) is a partnership or teaming arrangement that is formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation when the prime contractor consists of more than one legal entity. “JV Team Members” are the entities that make up a Joint Venture.

“Critical Subcontractors” are subcontractors that perform a critical function, whether technical or financial, in the performance of the resulting contract, and/or have important roles in any high or medium risk areas identified in the

Offeror’s proposal. Critical functions include but are not limited to: EPCS and EIDS “A” Kit Manufacture and

Installation, and EPCS and EIDS “B” Kit Installation. The term entity is used to mean any or all of the following:

Prime, principal subcontractor, critical subcontractor, JV, and/or each JV team member or other subcontractor.

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND SUBMISSION

Proposals must be formatted using a Times New Roman 12 point normal font (no reduction permitted), single-spaced with 1-inch margins all around, and formatted for/printed on standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper. All pages should be numbered with volume, paragraph, and page numbers. When fold-out pages are used, they must not exceed 11 x

17 inches and will be counted as 1 page. Drawings may be provided separately and may be any size but should be folded to approximately 8.5 x 11 inch standard size and will count as 1 page. If the Offeror uses graphs to convey information the graphs must show enough detail to easily discern the information described. Graphs and tables shall be presented in no smaller than a 10 pt font. Graphs should contain a grid, which allows values to be read directly from the graph to the same detail that a 10 x 10 to the ½ inch grid provides. Graphic resolution should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented. Text utilized in charts, figures, and graphics shall also be no smaller than a

10pt font and may use a font type selected by the Offeror. Each volume, book, or annex shall be provided separately in a 3-ring binder. The binders should be of an appropriate thickness for the number of pages it contains (e.g., a 30-page book shall not be placed in a 2-inch binder).

2.1 Electronic Submission of Proposal

This section is intended to provide information to the Offeror on the electronic format and application software to be used for submitting proposals. Use of the software and procedures described in this section will reduce the amount of time and effort needed to receive and install proposals onto the electronic evaluation system, and will ensure that the proposals received are suitable for reading electronically.

2.1.1 Electronic Proposal Media

The Offeror should submit all volumes of its proposal electronically on CD-ROM(s) compatible with the operating system and applications defined in Section 2.1.2 below. The Offeror should put as much proposal material as possible on each CD-ROM, keeping the portions of the proposal that contain pricing information on separate CD-

ROM(s) from the portions of the proposal that do not contain pricing information. For this solicitation, Volume 5

Price/Cost; and Volume 6 Contract Administration contain Price/Cost information and should be delivered on separate CD-ROM(s) from the remainder of the proposal. The Offeror should submit two sets of CD-ROMs that contain its proposal. One set of CD-ROM disks should be marked "Master," the other should be marked "Back-Up."

Both sets of CD-ROM disks should be clearly marked with the Offeror's name and address, the point of contact's name and phone number, and proposal volumes contained therein. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring electronic proposals are virus free in accordance with Section 2.1.4. If a discrepancy exists between the original paper copy of the proposal and the disk copy, the original paper copy shall take precedence.

2.1.2 Operating System and Applications

The proposals will be accessed utilizing the Microsoft XP Professional and Windows 7 Operating Systems. The

Offeror shall submit two identical proposals in separate, electronic versions: one version in Portable Document

Format (.pdf) and one version in Microsoft Office 2007 Applications (Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft

PowerPoint, and Microsoft Project). The .pdf document must be fully searchable. The Offeror is responsible for ensuring that the .pdf and the appropriate Microsoft Office 2007 applications versions contain identical information.

The Government shall have the discretion to use the information in either version, and shall not be responsible for any differences in content between the two proposal formats submitted by the Offeror. Use of other application software for submission of proposals is prohibited except where specific instructions for non- PDF or Office 2007 applications are provided.

2.1.3 Hyperlinks

Offerors may use hyperlinks within and among proposal volumes that do not include Price/Cost information.

However, there shall be no links from any other volume into Volume 5 Price/Cost or any portion of the proposal that contains Price/Cost information.

2.1.4 Virus Free Electronic Submission

Offerors are responsible for ensuring that its electronic proposal is virus free. The Offeror shall certify, in its proposal cover letter, that all electronic proposal information has been checked for viruses, and specify the software, version, and virus definition used to check the data. With each subsequent submission of proposal information (e.g., responses to Evaluation Notices, Final Proposal Revisions, etc.), the Offeror shall ensure and certify that its files are virus free.

2.1.5 Multimedia

The Offeror should not embed sound or video (e.g., MPEG) files within the proposal submission.

2.1.6 Graphics

Large files require greater computer system resources and are discouraged. The Offeror is encouraged to:

a. Simplify the color palette used in creating figures;

b. Limit colors to 256 colors at 1024x768 resolution quality; avoid color gradients

c. Minimize size of graphics files; and

d. Avoid scanned images.

2.1.7 Evaluation Hardware

The source selection facility uses the following type workstation computer systems and printers.

3.1 General

The following is a list of Section L Attachments that the Offeror shall utilize to provide information for this volume:

Attachment L-2 Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ)

Attachment L-3 Past Performance Contract Data (PP-1)

The Offeror shall identify recent relevant contracts, or those portions of a recent relevant contract, whose performance is within five years of the proposal due date and contains efforts similar to those efforts (e.g., end product or service, type effort, contract tasks, contract dollar value, etc.) required by this solicitation for the Prime, principal subcontractors, critical subcontractors and JV/SLE team members identified in the Volume 1, Offeror

Summary Table. Past Performance information provided should be related to similar programs/contracts performed in the same division, or price center (e.g. the same CAGE code) in which the Offeror proposes to perform this effort.

Offerors shall also identify relevant contracts within five years of the proposal due date that had any show-cause notices, cure notices, or termination for default. As much as possible, the contracts and their descriptions provided in this volume should correspond to the contracts and descriptions of the Offeror’s corporate experience provided in

Volume 3 (Corporate Experience).

For all contracts identified which do not have Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the

Offeror shall forward a copy of PP Attachment PP-01 Past Performance Questionnaire to that contract customer’s

PCO, Administrative Contracting Officer and Program Manager. Please forward all questionnaires within two weeks from the solicitation release date to allow adequate time for the recipient to respond. (Note that the solicitation number should be removed from the Questionnaire header before forwarding them.) The Offeror shall include instructions for the customers to send completed questionnaires within two weeks of receipt via e-mail to

S.Andrew Whittaker, Contract Specialist, at stephen.whittaker@navy.mil or via fax to 301-757-2296. The

Offeror shall not conduct follow-up actions with regard to this questionnaire, other than to confirm receipt by the recipient. The Government may contact those customers identified by the Offeror to obtain follow-up Past

Performance Information. The Government may send additional questionnaires as necessary.

The Offeror shall provide written consent from principal subcontractors, critical subcontractors and JV/SLE team members to authorize the Government to coordinate their Past Performance issue(s) with you as the Prime Offeror.

If Offerors do not submit such written consent, then the Government will address any past performance issues directly with the subcontractor, or JV/SLE team member and the Offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions. Consequently, for any subcontractors or JV/SLE team members that do not provide such written consent, provide a point of contact (name, address, phone number, and email address) with which the

Government may coordinate these issues and obtain any responses as needed.

The Offeror are reminded that both independent data and data provided by the Offerors in any volume of their proposals may be used to evaluate past performance. The Government reserves the right to use Past Performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. This information will be used for the evaluation of past contractor performance. CPARS customer feedback will be the primary customer feedback data used to evaluate the Offerors past performance. The Past Performance Information Reporting System (PPIRS) will be the primary paperless method used to retrieve the CPARS for this source selection.

3.2 Relevant Contract Data

For each contract identified for past performance in Table ES-2 (Relevant Contract Summary) provided in

Attachment L-1 (Executive Summary Tables), the Offeror shall complete Attachment L-3 Table PP-1 (Past

Performance Contract Data), following the instructions provided within the attachment and submit it within this section and as a separate electronic file. Please note that this form is a summary of the prime’s, principal subcontractors’, critical subcontractors’, and JV team members’ relevant contract data. All detailed information and comparative analysis of the past performance references to this solicitation’s requirements shall be provided in

Volume 3, Section 3.3 (Evaluation), of the Offeror’s proposal. The contract references designated in Table ES-2

(Relevant Contract Summary) shall be used in completing Volume 3 and all contract references shall be numbered the same throughout all of the Offeror’s proposal volumes (i.e. the contracts identified as P1, S1, T1 etc.)

In general, recent performance will be considered more relevant than older performance. Commercial contracts may be included.

3.3 Evaluation

The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance and systemic improvement information remains with the Offeror.

Provide all of the information identified in the subparagraphs below organized by contract. As part of the evaluation of your Past Performance record, the Government reserves the right to use Past Performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror.

For each contract identified, provide contract data, relevancy, past performance information and systemic improvement information as described below. As this information is presented in the proposal, demonstrate the relevancy of the prime, and if applicable, the prime’s principal subcontractors, critical subcontractors and JV/SLE team members’ past performance and systemic improvements with respect to the solicitation requirements. For any contracts referenced where the Offeror is aware of problems, the Offeror shall describe those problems in paragraph

3.3.2. For each past performance problem identified, describe the status of the systemic improvement efforts. In the event the problems are or have been corrected, discuss and demonstrate the resolution in paragraph 3.3.3. In addition, demonstrate the impact that the systemic improvement effort had on resolving the problem such that it would not reoccur.

For each contract identified in paragraph 3.2, provide the following information:

3.3.1 Relevancy: Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contract are deemed relevant to the proposed effort. Specifically, identify key or critical tasks of the Offeror's past performance reference. Provide a comparative analysis to the solicitation requirements that would facilitate the Government’s assessment of the relevancy of positive and negative past performance that may be found. The comparative analysis should show how the past performance contract reference relates to the solicitation with regard to technical complexity; task, process and/or product similarity; scope of effort; type of work; skills required; administrative and/or physical place of performance (administrative/cost center by CAGE/DUNS codes); and contract type and dollar value.

In the comparative analysis, reference specific tasks from previous contract SOW/PWS (identifying paragraph – page references) to clearly identify how past tasks are similar to this solicitation. Offerors shall submit portions of the previous contract SOW/PWS documents, which relate to KC-130T EIDS/EPCS Modification SOW requirements, as Annex C to the proposal.

In the event an Offeror proposes past performance references for entities within the same company, but with different CAGE codes, an explanation must be provided as to why the past performance from another place of performance is relevant to the Offeror’s proposed approach.

3.3.2 Past Performance Information: For each contract identified in paragraph 3.2., provide a brief description of performance in delivering quality products in each of the following areas: 1) meeting technical requirements, i.e., the quality of your technical performance, e.g., performing analysis, design, testing, etc., 2) meeting schedule requirements, i.e., schedule performance, e.g., on time or late delivery, modification of original schedules and reasons for any changes, etc., 3) controlling contract cost, i.e., cost performance, e.g., on time or late delivery, modification of original schedules and reasons for any changes, etc., and 4) managing the contracted effort, i.e., program management, e.g., cooperation with customer, subcontract management. Include in these descriptions any information that demonstrates the level of performance obtained; where available, provide quantifiable measures/trends to demonstrate past and current performance. Also describe past problems, including when they occurred, what the circumstances were surrounding the situation and what the consequences were as a result of the problem.

3.3.3 Demonstrated Systemic Improvement: Identify those systemic improvement actions taken to resolve past problems identified in paragraph 3.3.2. Provide the records of such results and indicate where they are documented, preferably in Government record systems. Describe the techniques, elements, and tools used to correct problems on the contract and, if applicable, how these techniques, elements, and tools may be used during this program. Provide quantifiable evidence or metrics that substantiate or demonstrate claims of improvement and to demonstrate that the past problem will not occur on this effort.

It is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided and substantiate that improvements from past performance problems are being made. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. Consideration for discounting problems may be given when those problems are addressed through demonstrated systemic improvement. Demonstrated systemic improvement may be indicated by information as it relates to preventing recurrence of past problems, including:

identification of the root cause of problem, corrective action plan that systemically addresses the past problem, how and when the plan was implemented, documented timeframe to demonstrated corrective action was implemented and successful; and performance data, preferably through Government records, to show performance improvements demonstrated systemic improvement. Demonstrate that the problem(s) will not reoccur or the extent that the likelihood of reoccurrence is reduced.
