E-mail: Roxie.thomas@navy.mil AND Sarah.belt@navy.mil

(3) It is the Offeror’s responsibility to draft a logical, practical, clear and concise proposal that contains all pertinent information in sufficient detail so that the government evaluators are able to meaningfully evaluate the Offeror’s proposed approach and cost / price without discussions. An Offeror’s proposal must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks; is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirement; and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements. The Offeror must include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. In presenting material in this proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Offerors must use quantitative terms whenever possible and avoid qualitative and subjective terms to the maximum extent practicable. Proposal volumes must be consistent internally.

(4) The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, including contract terms and conditions, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.

(5) The Government may judge a proposal to be unacceptable if the proposal contains statements that do not clearly reveal the Offeror’s proposed approach; statements that the Offeror will comply with the RFP or provide a particular feature or objective without explaining how the feature or objective will be met.

(6) If the solicitation is amended, then all other terms and conditions that are not amended shall remain unchanged. Offerors shall monitor the FBO website frequently to ensure all amendments are captured in the submitting proposal before the RFP closing date and time.

(7) Any data previously submitted in response to another solicitation will be assumed to be unavailable to the Government during this proposal evaluation and source selection process. Proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other instrument.

(8) If a discrepancy exists between the original paper copy of the proposal and the electronic copy, the paper copy will take precedence.

(9) The Government reserves the right to seek clarifications as defined in FAR 15.306 after receipt of the Offeror’s responses to the RFP.

(10) Proposals are to be based on the requirements contained in the solicitation Schedule, Specification, and other attachments and exhibits.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

M.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA

M.2.1. Best Value selection

In determining the Best Value with trade-offs, proposals will be evaluated based on the factors listed in this subsection.

VOLUME I – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Factor 1 – Design and Engineering Approach Factor 2 – Total Ownership Cost Considerations Factor 3 – Management and Production Approach Factor 4 – Past Performance and Experience

VOLUME II – PRICE PROPOSAL

Factor 5 – Price

Factors 1 and 2 are approximately equal and are more important than Factors 3 and 4 which are approximately equal. Non-price factors combined are more important than Factor 5 (Price). However, as competing quotes approach equality in Factors 1 - 4, Factor 5 (Price) will become more important.

Source Selection: It is the Government’s intention to award to a single Offeror using a tradeoff source selection approach. Under this approach, proposals will be compared on the basis of their ratings, strengths, weaknesses, and risks. The Government will select a responsible Offeror whose proposal, conforming to the solicitation, is most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. A selection may be made to other than the Offeror who offers the lowest evaluated price or to other than the best Technical Proposal.

M.2.1.1. VOLUME I – TECHNICAL PROPOSAL

Technical Merit of Design factor Factors 1, 2 and 3 will be evaluated and each assigned a combined technical/risk rating as follows:

Adjectival Rating Description

Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.

Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.

Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.

Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.

For purposes of this assessment, low risk is defined as having little potential to cause disruption to schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Normal contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties. Moderate risk is defined as having the potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties. High risk is defined as having a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring. Unacceptable risk is defined as having a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.
