SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 12-Apr-2016 02:00 PM to 31-May-2016 02:00 PM.

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

NOTE C - Stepladder Pricing. Stepladder pricing is utilized in this solicitation to provide offerors an opportunity to propose different pricing for separate and distinct quantity ranges within each CLIN. Pricing utilized at basic contract award and option exercise shall be based solely on the pricing proposed by the Offeror in Section B of their submitted Standard Form (SF) 33. Notwithstanding the availability of the option to propose different pricing for different quantities, the offeror may propose the same price for multiple quantities.

The Government will determine the quantity of the base CLINs (0001 and 0061) at award.

For all option CLINs with stepladder pricing, the Government may unilaterally exercise a given line item more than once prior to the latest option exercise date identified in clause FAR 52.217-7 (see Section I, below). Option CLINs with stepladder pricing may be exercised until the total quantity purchased equals the maximum quantity listed for that option CLIN in Section B.

If any line item is exercised more than once within a 60 day period, the unit price shall be adjusted downward to reflect the appropriate stepladder unit price for the entire quantity purchased within that 60 day period. The following hypothetical example illustrates how pricing will be adjusted for option CLIN 0000 if the line item is unilaterally exercised more than once within a 60 day period:

At first option exercise, $22,500 is obligated to subline item (SLIN) 0000AA to provide funds to acquire a quantity of 150 at a unit cost of $150.

150 * $150 = $22,500

A second option exercise, $12,500 is obligated to SLIN 0000AB to provide funds to acquire a total quantity of 350 at a unit cost of $100.

350 * $100 = $35,000

In order to provide for a total extended price of $35,000 without altering the unit pricing of the prior option exercise, the unit cost for SLIN 0000AB is adjusted downward to $62.50.

($35,000 - $22,500) / 200 = $62.50

Following exercise of our first two options for CLIN 0000, our contract CLIN structure for CLIN 0000 is as follows:

CLIN SLIN UNIT COST EXTENDED PRICE FUNDED AMOUNT

0000 $100.00 $35,000 $35,000

0000 AA $150.00 $22,500 $22,500

0000 AB $62.50 $12,500 $12,500

(f) If the Government does not act within the time specified in paragraph (b) or (c) above, the Contracting Officer shall, upon timely written request from the Contractor, equitably adjust under the changes clause of this contract the delivery or performance dates and/or the contract price, and any other contractual term affected by the delay.

(g) Before first article approval, the acquisition of materials or components for, or the commencement of production of, the balance of the contract quantity is at the sole risk of the Contractor. Before first article approval, the costs thereof shall not be allocable to this contract for (1) progress payments, or (2) termination settlements if the contract is terminated for the convenience of the Government

(h) The Government may waive the requirement for first article approval test where supplies identical or similar to those called for in the schedule have been previously furnished by the offeror/contractor and have been accepted by the Government. The offeror/contractor may request a waiver.

(i) The Contractor shall produce both the first article and the production quantity at the same facility.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M 2.0

EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government will evaluate the offeror’s proposal in accordance with the following factors and subfactors:

Factor 1: Technical Approach

Subfactor 1.1: Production Assembly in accordance with the TDP

Subfactor 1.2: First Article and Factory Acceptance testing

Subfactor 1.3: Physical Assets to be used in production

Factor 2: Management Approach

Factor 3: Past Performance

Factor 4: Total Evaluated Price

Acceptibility determinations will be made for Factors 1, 2, and 3. Acceptibility determinations will not be made at the Subfactor level. If the offeror’s proposal for any Subfactor under Factor 1 fails to meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation, Factor 1 will be determined to be unacceptable.

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.

Subfactor 1.1: Production Assembly in accordance with the TDP

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

Virtual Machine Environment (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).

Subfactor 1.3: Physical Assets to be used in production

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.
