SECTION H

H-1 Task Order Pricing Procedures for Firm Fixed Price (FFP) Line Items (CLINs 0X01 and 0X02)

The following procedures shall be utilized for issuance of task orders for FFP CLINs referenced in Section B. The

CLIN Unit Prices shall be established in each task order and will utilize the Unit Prices listed in Attachment 7, Unit

Price Matrix (FFP).

(a)

(1) Each Task Order (T/O) will be established for a single aircraft Bureau Number (BUNO):

i. Once a task order has been established, it shall be modified for all subsequent requirements for that aircraft BUNO.

ii. For pricing all subsequent T/O modifications, the task unit price chosen from Attachment 7, Unit

Price Matrix, shall correspond with the fiscal year in which the modification is issued.

(2) Each individual T/O will identify the specific FFP tasks required, based on the CLINs chosen (0X01 and/or

0X02) and the task quantities procured under each CLIN.

(3) The process for deriving the CLIN Unit Price applies to all FFP CLIN 0X01 and 0X02 line items.

(4) The CLINs may consist of one or more chosen tasks, dependent upon the requirements per aircraft BUNO.

(b)

(1) From the list of tasks identified in Attachment 7, Unit Price Matrix (FFP), select the required task(s) per aircraft BUNO and the corresponding unit price(s). Unit prices for each task will be selected from

(1) The date, nature, and circumstances of the conduct regarded as a change;

(2) The name, function, and activity of each Government individual and Contractor official or employee involved in or knowledgeable about such conduct;

(3) The identification of any documents and the substance of any oral communication involved in such conduct;

(1) If the Contracting Officer confirms that Government conduct effected a change as alleged by the Contractor, and the conduct causes an increase or decrease in the Contractor's cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether changed or not changed by such conduct, an equitable adjustment shall be made--

(i) In the contract price or delivery schedule or both; and

(ii) In such other provisions of the contract as may be affected.

(2) The contract shall be modified in writing accordingly. In the case of drawings, designs or specifications which are defective and for which the Government is responsible, the equitable adjustment shall include the cost and time extension for delay reasonably incurred by the Contractor in attempting to comply with the defective drawings, designs or specifications before the Contractor identified, or reasonably should have identified, such defect. When the cost of property made obsolete or excess as a result of a change confirmed by the Contracting Officer under this clause is included in the equitable adjustment, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of disposition of the property. The equitable adjustment shall not include increased costs or time extensions for delay resulting from the Contractor's failure to provide notice or to continue performance as provided, respectively, in (b) and (c) above.

L-1 CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SUPPLIES OR SERVICES) (JUN 2011) (DEC 2014)

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

In accordance with FAR Subpart 6.202(a)(1), The Boeing Company and all its subsidiaries are excluded from the role of prime contractor and/or subcontractor for this contract in order to establish an alternative source for the supplies/services being procured. Should an offeror propose The Boeing Company or any of its subsidiaries as a

Joint Venture team member, principal subcontractor, critical team member, or subcontractor at any tier, the proposal submission shall be rejected in its entirety. If during the course of the evaluation of the proposal, the United States

(US) Government becomes aware that the offeror proposed any portion of this effort be performed by The Boeing

Company, the offer shall be unawardable.

Offerors are required to submit sufficient information concerning all evaluation factors to enable US 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 US Government may incorporate any part of the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the US Government, into the final contract.

With the exception of Annex B (Small Business Subcontracting Plan); Volume 4 Price; and Volume 5 Contract

Administration, no price should appear in any other volume. Alternate proposals will not be accepted.

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, to be meaningfully evaluated. Unsubstantiated statements that the 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 materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

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

Block 15A on Standard Form (SF) 33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. 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. A “JV Team Member” is defined as one of the entities that make up a JV or any other partnership or teaming arrangement formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation. The term

“entity” is used to mean any or all of the following: prime contractor, JV, critical team members, JV team members, any subcontractor, and corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate (e.g. any contractor with a different

CAGE/NCAGE code/DUNS than the Offeror). A “principal subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 10% of the proposed total price (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee) for the contract. “Critical team member” is defined as one of the entities of the Offeror that perform a critical technical function (i.e.

Security/Safeguarding, MAUS inspections and aircraft X-Rays) in the performance of the resulting contract.

Only the following entities will be used in the past performance evaluation: (a) the prime contractor; and (b) critical team members (c) JV Team Members and (d) principal subcontractors (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee). These entities are considered relevant entities and only relevant entities will be used in the past performance evaluation.

All other entities will be considered non-relevant. The Offeror must demonstrate through the price proposal and/or other proposal information that these entities meet the definition of a relevant entity, or the US Government may deem the entity to be not relevant and thereby not include them in the past performance evaluation.

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

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, Annex B

(Small Business Subcontracting Plan)); Volume 4 Price; and Volume 5 Contract Administration contain price information and should be delivered on separate CD-ROM(s) from the remainder of the proposal. Gen Inst Table 2

The Offeror shall submit two identical proposals in separate, electronic versions: one version in Portable Document Format (.pdf) and one version in Microsoft Office 2010 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 2010 applications versions contain identical information. The US

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 2010 applications are provided.

2.1.3 Hyperlinks

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
