Technical Capabilities Data Sheet (Factor 1) : Offerors shall complete the Technical Capabilities Data Sheet (Attachment S-1), provided with this solicitation for a previous availability or equivalent project. Offerors may not exceed a total of five (5) pages between the data sheet and the narrative.

The Contractor shall provide this documentation for contracts/projects demonstrating relevant experience as a Prime contractor. The Government is looking for experience in executing projects of same or similar type and complexity of work as required by the solicitation. For purposes of this solicitation, the Government considers an offeror’s Technical Capability relating to the following types of projects/contracts to be relevant given the type of effort involved in this solicitation:

(a) For this solicitation and evaluation purposes, the Government considers performance as a prime contractor of an availability similar in complexity and magnitude as the proposed USS MCFAUL availability, including approximately six (6) months production duration and 100,000 man-days in magnitude, using the same or similar personnel, processes and equipment the offeror is proposing to use to meet the solicitation requirements, to be relevant

OR

(b) Performance as a prime contractor of the construction of commissioned U.S. Naval Combat vessels of similar size and complexity and composition as a DDG 51 class ship or a comparable Naval vessel of similar type and complexity using the same or similar personnel, processes and equipment the offeror is proposing to use to meet the solicitation requirements.

The offeror’s proposed contracts/projects must demonstrate the following Technical Capabilities:

· Demonstrate experience providing engineering and design support capabilities with sufficient capability to diagnose and evaluate technical problems and issues and to make competent technical recommendations.

· Demonstrate experience providing an established management organization geared toward completing highly complex ship repair requirements, with clear lines of authority, delegation of responsibility and mid-level managerial positions

· Demonstrate experience in completing, controlling, integrating, scheduling, estimating and progressing complex ship repair requirements

· Demonstrate experience purchasing, monitoring, receiving, inspecting, segregating, issuing, determining nonconformance, and disposing of material

· Demonstrate experience managing subcontractors successfully, including successfully selecting, scheduling, managing, monitoring and controlling of subcontractors

Projects shall have been completed or be substantially complete within the past three (3) years. The contract/project provided must be considered relevant based on its own features rather than demonstrating relevant experience as a combination of projects. Offerors are advised that the Technical Capability Factor is "prime contractor" specific. Newly formed joint ventures may propose contracts/projects by the separate members of the joint venture as prime contractors. An offeror may not use the corporate experience of an affiliated "prime contractor" to meet the Technical Capability Factor requirements.

Past Performance (Factor 2): The Government requires relevant performance information based on the past and present efforts provided by the Offeror and data independently obtained from other government and commercial sources. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance as a prime contractor. In the investigation of an Offeror’s past performance, the Government reserves the right to contact former customers and Government agencies and other private and public sources of information.

Offerors with recent and relevant past performance shall submit information concerning contracts which offerors consider relevant in demonstrating their ability to perform the proposed effort. Offerors shall identify portions of the contracts that are relevant. Offerors are requested to provide information (up to five (5) previous contracts) where the effort is recent and relevant to the effort required by this solicitation.

· “Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years as of the date of the initial solicitation. If the offeror has not completed up to five (5) contracts within the last three (3) years as of the date of the initial solicitation, information on recent and relevant commercial contracts may be submitted.

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

- Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the Solicitation Section C Statement of Work.

- 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 requirements of this solicitation.

- 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 requirements of this solicitation. 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). Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of this solicitation; a detailed description of the work performed for the contract. Offerors are responsible for the accuracy of all data provided.

An offeror that does not have recent and relevant past performance to provide for consideration is requested to affirmatively state that it does not have recent and relevant past performance for the Government to consider.

The Offeror’s proposal shall identify the customer point of contact and which of the listed contacts that each questionnaire was sent to be completed. This will let the Contracting Officer know whether all questionnaires from all of the Offeror’s references were received.

Offerors may inquire as to the status of receipt of these questionnaires using the e-mail address shown below.

Regarding Past performance information that is documented as a Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) and available in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS), the offeror may list it in Past Performance References, Attachment S-4. Attachment S-4 shall be used to identify the source of Past Performance in formation (e.g., CPARs, PPQs). For Past Performance information that does not have a current CPAR associated with it, the offeror may submit a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), Attachment S-2 to its customer to complete. Each proposal shall include no more than a total of five (5) PPQs, one per contract identified. The offeror will complete Part A of the Questionnaire. Separately, the offeror shall provide the entire Past Performance Questionnaire, with Part A completed, to each customer for them to complete Parts B and C.

The offeror shall instruct their customers to complete the Past Performance Questionnaires and return them before the closing date of this solicitation.
