SOLICITATION INSTRUCTIONS
Section L – Instructions to Bidders
1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION
The solicitation will be made available only through the internet at:
http://www.fbo.gov
Offerors are hereby notified that from time to time, the Government may post additional information to the web site relating to this solicitation (e.g. responses to questions, amendments). It is the Offeror’s responsibility to check the website for any such information.
The performance of this contract requires that the Offeror have a SECRET facility clearance granted by a Military
Department. Any firm lacking the requisite security clearance and intending to respond to this procurement shall, within ten (10) calendar days of issuance of this RFP, request initiation of such clearance action, in writing, from the
Naval Sea Systems Command, Code: SEA 00P3, 1333 Isaac Hull Avenue SE Stop 9917, Washington, DC 20376-
1020. Appropriate clearance action in accordance with established procedures will be initiated by the Naval Sea
Systems Command, but the Naval Sea Systems Command does not represent that such action can be completed and clearance granted prior to contract award.
Proposals in response to this solicitation shall be valid for a period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) calendar days from the proposal due date of 14 September 2018.
http://www.fbo.gov/
Pursuant to FAR 52.215-1, the Government intends to award a contract based on initial proposals without conducting discussions with Offerors, but reserves the right to conduct discussions in accordance with FAR 15.306 if determined by the Government to be necessary. Therefore, the Offeror’s proposal submissions shall contain the
Offeror’s best terms from a cost/price and technical standpoint. Each Offeror shall submit only one proposal which represents its best approach to meeting the requirements of the solicitation. No alternative proposals will be accepted. The proposal submissions will have requirements for originals (paper), hardcopy (paper) and ‘Electronic
Media’ (CD-ROM), as detailed in subsequent paragraphs.
In the event that any portion of the proposal is written by anyone who is not an employee of the firm submitting the proposal, a certificate to this effect shall be included with the proposal. The certificate must be signed by an authorized official of the Offeror, and shall indicate the non-employee person’s name, employment capacity, firm name, relationship of that firm to the Offeror, and which portion of the proposal was written by that person.
1.1 QUESTIONS
Offerors may electronically submit written questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by sending an email to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) Peter Richmond (peter.richmond@navy.mil ) and Contract
Specialist Patrick Dooley (patrick.s.dooley@navy.mil). All questions shall be written on the RFP Question
Submittal Form (Attachment 5) of the RFP and received in writing within fourteen (14) calendar days after release of the RFP to allow the Navy adequate time to respond prior to the date and time set for receipt of proposals. Only questions transmitted electronically will receive a response. Each question must include the document name, document date, specific page number, specific paragraph number, clause number or other definitive citation requiring clarification. No classified Bidders questions shall be submitted for this RFP. Questions will not result in an extension to the proposal due date.
It is the Government’s intention that questions and responses will be posted on the Federal Business Opportunities
(FBO) website via RFP amendment(s). Answers will not be provided directly to potential Offerors. All business sensitive and proprietary information must be clearly marked. Properly marked business sensitive or proprietary information will not be posted on FBO. The Navy will continue to accept questions up to the closing date and time of the solicitation; however, time may not permit responses to be issued prior to proposal receipt.
2.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT
The following general information applies to proposal preparation and delivery.
Although NAVSEA will make the RFP and amendments available electronically on the INTERNET, proposals in response to this RFP WILL NOT be accepted via electronic transmission. Only hard-copy (including specified
Electronic Media copies) proposals submitted in accordance with Section L of this RFP will be accepted. Any proposals received via electronic transmission will be deleted, and will not be reviewed or considered. If an Offeror is awarded a contract based on this solicitation, the Offeror’s Technical Proposal or portions thereof may be incorporated into the contract by reference.
The offer must include the following to be eligible for award:

2.1 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND DELIVERY INFORMATION
SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS: The proposal shall be provided in four (4) separate volumes, delivered by
2:00PM Eastern Daylight Time on 14 September 2018.
All Offerors shall submit their proposals in accordance with the format and content specified. A legible, neat, orderly and comprehensive proposal is required. Elaborate brochures or artwork, expensive paper or bindings, or expensive visual or presentation aids beyond those sufficient to present a complete and comprehensive proposal are neither necessary nor desirable. This may be interpreted by the Government to be an indication that the Offeror lacks a complete understanding of the requirement. Quality of information is generally significantly more important than quantity or visual esthetics of presentation. Do not elaborate unnecessarily or provide other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal.
The electronic media (CD-ROM) version of the proposal shall be prepared so that if printed, the proposal meets the following format requirements:
Hard Copy Proposals
The text of the proposal shall be printed on double sided 8.5 x 11 inch paper. Type size shall be no smaller than 12-point Times New Roman Font. Text shall be single-spaced with margins of at least one inch on all sides.
Attachments only (i.e. Attachment 7), type size shall be no smaller than 8-point font. Foldouts shall be used only where needed, e.g., engineering drawings, diagrams, schedules and schematics. There should be no more than
(10) foldouts included in the proposal. Foldout pages up to 11 x 17 inches may be used for diagrams, charts or graphic material with type size of minimum 8-point font. Each foldout shall contain printed material on only one side of the foldout. Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the particular volume. Each 11 x 17 foldout counts as two (2) pages and shall be marked accordingly.
Each Offeror is responsible for the condition of its delivered proposal. Binders and their contents that are broken apart or received in a disorderly fashion will be reassembled by the Government in a manner with expeditiousness as the rule. The Government is not responsible for proper reassembly of these binders. Thus binders may not be reassembled as originally sent.
Format of Electronic Media
Disks shall be CD-Read Only Memory (ROM) formatted and all documents, spreadsheets, databases, or other data submitted must be compatible with Microsoft Office 2010, Microsoft Project 2010, and Adobe Acrobat 9. Within the CD-ROMs for Volumes I, II, III, and IV, contents shall not be in a scanned PDF format. Additionally, for
Volume II, spreadsheets (i.e. xls, .xlsx), shall be "unlinked" to allow for review during cost/price analysis on all of the CD-ROMs. Cost/price summary and back-up information must be submitted by populating Attachment 8, Supporting Cost Data Workbooks, Parts A and B, which are in Microsoft Excel format. All cells containing derived data shall be presented together with the formulas used to derive the data.
Narratives related to cost/price summary data may be provided in Microsoft Word. In the event that situations arise which necessitate the submission of revised information, to include pricing, technical, or other items, the revisions shall adhere to the same instructions as Section L. Additionally, any spreadsheets, word processing documents, or other information shall be submitted in a working document form to permit the validation of submitted information.
The electronic version shall not contain spreadsheet or word processing documents that have been changed, printed, and then scanned to a PDF or other file that cannot be readily used to verify the accuracy of pricing or other information.
CD-ROMs, as required above, shall be attached to the proposal such that they do not fall out or become dislodged during transport and handling.
The electronic media (CD-ROM) proposal material shall not contain any information not contained in the hard copy format. In the event of disparities between hardcopies and electronic information, the hardcopy governs. All
Microsoft Excel files shall contain all formulas and be completely readable and editable, as to ascertain the validity of the pricing or other data contained therein. All Adobe Acrobat files shall be word-searchable. Compression tools are limited to PKZip or WinZip.
Each disk shall be labeled as follows:
Solicitation #
Volume #
Offeror Company Name, City, State
Offeror POC
Offeror POC Phone #
File Naming Conventions
All files must be submitted in the following formats:
Technical_Company Name_Document Name_Vol#
Example: Technical_NAVSEA_Technical Capability_Vol I
Cost_Company Name_Document Name_Vol# (or Attachment Number)
Example: Cost_NAVSEA_Cost Narrative_Vol II
Example: Cost_NAVSEA_Supporting Cost Data Workbook_Attachment 8_Part A
Past Performance_Company Name_Document Name/Attachment #_Volume#
Example: Past Performance_NAVSEA_Previous Contracting Efforts_Volume III
Subcontractor data submitted directly to the Government in support of the prime Offeror’s cost proposal shall follow the format described above. Subcontractor submittals shall prominently identify the prime Offeror.
Page Numbering
The Offeror shall use a standard page numbering system to facilitate proposal references. Pages are to be numbered sequentially and tabs are to be used for chapter breaks. Charts, graphs, and other insert materials shall be page-numbered as part of the page numbering system. Proposals that restart page numbering every chapter within an individual volume will not be acceptable. Any pages intended to be blank shall be marked, "Intentionally Left
Blank.” Every page, except those marked as blank, shall be numbered.
Each page of the proposal shall be labeled with the Offeror’s name, the RFP number, the proposal disclosure position in accordance with FAR 52.215-1, and the date of the initial proposal. Any pages that are revised as a result of discussions (if required) shall contain revision numbers and dates.
All volumes shall be submitted in three-ring binders with index tabs or tabbed index divider pages indicating sections which correspond to those set forth above.
2.2 PAGE LIMITATIONS
Page limitations are identified for each volume of the proposal, as described in Table 2.0 above and will be treated as maximums. If the proposal exceeds the page limit, the Government will remove all pages exceeding the specified page count, and those page will not be evaluated. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two (2) pages. Graphs, charts, and tables are included in the page count.
Each volume shall be bound separately and shall not exceed the page limitation cited above.
The following are not included in the page limitations:
A. Title/Cover pages/Cover Letter
B. Table of Contents
C. Glossaries of Abbreviations and Acronyms
D. Letters of Intent for Key Personnel
E. Proposal Cross-Reference Tables
F. Labor Category Definitions
G. Data Rights Assertion List (Section J, Attachment 6)
H. Software Development Plan
