SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M 3.0 FACTOR 1

TECHNICAL APPROACH

The Technical Approach factor will be evaluated to determine the offeror’s ability to satisfy the requirements of this solicitation, including but not limited to: the acceptability of the offeror’s approach, the ability to understand and solve technical issues related to this effort, the ability to produce systems in accordance with the Technical Data

Package (TDP), and the ability to demonstrate significant experience in the production of systems of similar or greater complexity than AN/SLQ-32(V)6.

The offeror will be evaluated to determine the Offeror’s ability to produce systems in accordance with the specifications and data contained in this solicitation. The offeror will be evaluated on its demonstrated understanding of all aspects of the technical data contained in the solicitation and an ability to apply that understanding to meet the production requirements. The Government will evaluate information required by Section

L, above, to determine the acceptability of the offeror’s approach to production assembly. The offeror will be evaluated based on its demonstration of experience on RF programs similar in complexity to AN/SLQ-32(V)6. The complexity evaluation will include evaluation of demonstrated experience with the following technologies used within AN/SLQ-32(V)6:

RF over fiber assembly, integration, and test

Versa Module Eurocard (VME) systems production assembly, integration, and test

RF receiver systems assembly, integration, and test

Millimeter wave (MMW) hardware assembly, integration, and test

RF Antenna Array panel assembly, integration, test, and calibration

Linux operating environment installation and configuration

The Offeror will be evaluated on its approach to acquisition of system material, material control, and approach to monitoring delivery status of material previously ordered. The Offeror will be evaluated on their plans and processes to ensure complete TDP compliance prior to acquiring material and prior to release of material for manufacturing. The Offeror will be evaluated on their approach to address manufacturing processes, inspection, component level testing, and production acceptance testing.

The offeror's manufacturing processes and planning will be evaluated against the SOW. The offeror will be evaluated on its ability to address engineering changes and update production requirements. Any proposed item not currently listed in the TDP by specific part number will be evaluated by review of measured data to confirm the form, fit and function requirements of the TDP are met. The Offeror alone bears the burden of submitting sufficient measured data to demonstrate that its proposed non-TDP item(s) meet(s) the form, fit, and function requirements of the TDP. Failure to provide sufficient data to demonstrate that a proposed non-TDP item meets the form, fit, and function requirements of the TDP may result in an evaluation finding of increased technical risk, and could ultimately result in a determination that the offeror’s technical approach is unacceptable.

Subfactor 1.2: First Article and Factory Acceptance testing

The Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated to determine the offeror’s ability to execute First Article and Factory

Acceptance testing in accordance with the Government furnished testing plans and procedures to ensure production units comply with the configuration and functional requirements specified in the solicitation.

The offeror will be evaluated on its demonstrated understanding of all aspects of associated plans and procedures as set forth in its proposal.

If a request for waiver of First Article Approval is submitted, the offeror will be evaluated on compliance with the requirements of solicitation provision HQ M-2-0013, Waiver of First Article Requirements (Contractor Testing) -

Alternate I (NAVSEA) (JUL 2000).

Physical Assets proposed to be used in production will be evaluated to determine if the offeror has adequate capability and capacity to produce and test the proposed systems identified in Section B of this solicitation.

The offeror will be evaluated on its demonstrated ability provide facilities to adequately fulfill production throughput and schedule requirements in accordance with Section F of this solicitation. Production and schedule requirements shall assume maximum quantities per year. Adequacy will be determined by a clear correlation of the offeror’s proposed use of facilities for the successful completion of the contract requirements at maximum production levels. In addition, the offeror will be evaluated on its approach to updating the production line and processes.

Pre-award site surveys may be used to help evaluate this subfactor. Offerors will be evaluated on availability of adequate space for production, manufacturing, testing, and delivery of AN/SLQ-32(V)6 systems in accordance with this solicitation. Offerors will be evaluated on physical assets, production equipment, and test equipment to determine whether the offeror has the capacity to meet the requirements of the solicitation.
