Each activity must have at least one predecessor and one successor, with the exception of the Key Event Start Availability (which may have no predecessors) and the Key Event Complete Availability (which may have no successors).

Each Key Event and Work Activity may have more than one predecessor and more than one successor. The preferred relationships between linked predecessor and successor activities is Finish-to-Start. The use of scheduling Lags and Leads should be minimized.

d) Assign appropriate predecessor relationships to each Key Event and Milestone(s) to ensure there is an accurate logical progression through all work activities leading to their assigned Key Event and Milestone(s), ensure milestones are linked to the Key Events they support, and ensure the Production Schedule supports accurate prediction of Key Event and Milestone(s) attainment.

e) Assign appropriate predecessor and successor relationships between the Work Activities conducted on the same component, or in the same location but under differing Work

Items, to ensure all related Work Activities across all Work Items are interdependently linked together.

f) Schedule production work and preliminary inspections generating reports required by Attachment J-10 that could result in a change in work to be accomplished or additional material to be procured to support reporting no later than the first 20 percent of the availability duration.

(2) Provide an export of the Production Schedule data elements in a sortable/filterable spreadsheet format compatible with Microsoft Excel. Include the following minimum data elements for each Work Activity in the schedule, as appropriate:

l) Early Start: Software determined date. The earliest point in time that a Work Activity may start based on the Production Schedule network logic and any other schedule constraints. Early start dates may change as the availability progresses.

m) Early Finish: Software determined date. The earliest point in time that a Work Activity may complete based on the Production Schedule network logic and any other schedule constraints. Early finish dates may change as the availability progresses.

n) Late Start: Software determined date. The latest point in time that a Work Activity may begin without delaying the applicable Milestone or Key Event based on the Production Schedule network logic.

o) Late Finish: Software determined date. The latest point in time that a Work Activity may be completed without delaying the applicable Milestone or Key Event based on the Production Schedule network logic.

p) Duration: The total number of work periods required to complete a Work Activity.

q) Calendar Identification: Number of scheduled workdays per week.

r) Total Float: The total number of workdays that the Contractor can delay a Work Activity without affecting the project finish date.

s) Predecessor: A Work Activity or Key Event that immediately precedes one or more

Work Activities or Key Events with a direct tie in the Total Project Network.

t) Successor: A Work Activity or Key Event that immediately follows one or more Work

Activities or Key Events with a direct tie in the Total Project Network.

u) Constraints: Constraints used as applicable to Work Item or Work Activity. This may be provided within the predecessor or successor field.

(4) Provide the Proposed Production Schedule in a time-oriented Gantt chart format that shows all work item activities, milestones and key events within the Production Schedule.

(5) Provide the Proposed Production Schedule in a time-oriented Gantt chart format that shows only Critical Path and Controlling Work Items at the Work Activity level and assigned Key Events and/or Milestones.

a) Critical Path: That sequence of Work Activities which forms the work and test chain of the longest duration, and directly affects the completion of the availability. Factors that influence when a Work Activity is on the Critical Path include: time duration required for the Work Activity, space limitations, manpower available, and the predecessor/successor relationships between Work Activities. The Critical Path is determined by automated schedule analysis and will include any sequential set of Work Activities forming the longest chain of events extending throughout the schedule and which has the least Total Float.

b) Controlling Work Items: Those Work Items which include activities that are on the critical path of the Production Schedule, which, by virtue of scope, material requirements, complexity, or other considerations, have the significant potential for impact on the scheduled project Key Events or completion of the availability.

(6) The Offeror shall provide a narrative to explain their Production Schedule. The narrative shall address the following:

a) Describe critical float paths and identify the work items that the Offeror estimates as the most critical and pose the most risk.

b) Demonstrate how the Offeror has scheduled the performance of all work items included in the Availability work package (including both Base and Option items) so as to permit the contract scope increases described in Section B, Note F (all growth work identified in this solicitation) without causing delay or disruption to the work required by the aforementioned work items, to any other Government contract, or to any other work in progress for the Government.

L-204-H003 NOTIFICATION OF USE OF NAVY SUPPORT CONTRACTORS FOR OFFICIAL CONTRACT

FILES (NAVSEA) (APR 2019)

(a) NAVSEA may use a contractor to manage official contract files hereinafter referred to as "the support contractor", including the official file supporting this procurement. These official files may contain information that is considered a trade secret, proprietary, business sensitive or otherwise protected pursuant to law or regulation, hereinafter referred to as “protected information”. File management services consist of any of the following:

secretarial or clerical support; data entry; document reproduction, scanning, imaging, or destruction; operation, management, or maintenance of paper-based or electronic mail rooms, file rooms, or libraries; and supervision in connection with functions listed herein.

(b) The cognizant Contracting Officer will ensure that any NAVSEA contract under which these file management services are acquired will contain a requirement that

(1) The support contractor not disclose any information;

(2) Individual employees are to be instructed by the support contractor regarding the sensitivity of the official contract files;

(3) The support contractor performing these services be barred from providing any other supplies and/or services, or competing to do so, to NAVSEA for the period of performance of its contract and for an additional three years thereafter unless otherwise provided by law or regulation; and,

(4) In addition to any other rights the offeror may have, it is a third party beneficiary who has the right of direct action against the support contractor, or any person to whom the support contractor has released or disclosed Protected Information, for the unauthorized duplication, release, or disclosure of such Protected Information.

(c) Submission of a proposal will be considered as consent to NAVSEA's permitting access to any information, irrespective of restrictive markings or the nature of the information submitted, by its file management support contractor for the limited purpose of executing its file support contract responsibilities.

(d) NAVSEA may, without further notice, enter into contracts with other contractors for these services. Offerors are free to enter into separate non-disclosure agreements with the file support contractor. Contact the Procuring Contracting Officer for contractor specifics. However, any such agreement will not be considered a prerequisite before information submitted is stored in the files or otherwise encumber the government.

L-209-H009 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL OR PERSONAL CONFLICT(S) OF

INTEREST (NAVSEA) (APR 2022)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either as a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to Program Office PMS 407, SEA 21, CNRMC, or related laboratories (if applicable), in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (OCI) or similar requirement which may be contained in current or completed contract(s) which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an OCI or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the Offeror shall comply with FAR subpart 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI or similar requirement.

(b) Offerors also are reminded that certain potential conflicts of interest may arise where an Offeror has unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor that may provide the Offeror with an unfair competitive advantage and preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, either of the individual, subcontractor or prime contractor under this competitive procurement. For example, a potential conflict may arise if former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror may have gained access to nonpublic information about a competitor through participation in previous or ongoing performance or during the solicitation development/source selection process associated with this competitive procurement, and then participates in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal. Other potential conflicts of interest may arise where either the former Department of Navy employee(s), subcontractors, or teaming partners of the Offeror under this competitive procurement set the ground rules for competition; for example, by drafting specifications or assisting in the drafting of the statement of work. General guidance may be found in FAR 3.101 and 9.505; however, this guidance is not all-inclusive.

(c) If an Offeror identifies a potential conflict of interest that exists at any tier, that Offeror is requested to notify the Contracting Officer within 14 days of the date of this solicitation. The Offeror shall provide: (1) the contract or previous source selection’s solicitation number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work and technical instruction from the existing contract, as applicable; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; (5) a brief description of the individual’s, subcontractor’s, or teaming partner’s unequal access to nonpublic information about a competitor, which may lead to a conflict of interest in the formation of the Offeror’s proposal, or establishment of ground rules for this competitive procurement, as applicable; (6) an OCI mitigation plan, as applicable; and (7) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the Offeror. The requirement to identify potential conflicts of interest as outlined herein continues until contract award. Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(d) The Government will notify an Offeror of any conflict of interest within 14 days of receipt of all required information. Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk regardless of whether the Government determines a personal or organizational conflict of interest does or does not exist.

(e) Any potential prime contractor which proposes an individual, subcontractor, or teaming partner later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible individual, subcontractor or teaming partner. The Government reserves the right to determine which Offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(f) If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational and/or personal conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.

L-219-H001 SUBMISSION OF SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (NAVSEA) (JAN 2021)

Offeror shall submit as part of its proposal a subcontracting plan in accordance with the clause entitled "Small Business Subcontracting Plan" (FAR 52.219-9). The plan shall include a five percent (5%) goal for small disadvantaged business concerns or a detailed explanation as to why the goal cannot be included in the plan.
