1.3 VOLUME II: MANDATORY GATE CRITERIA

The Government is conducting this Full and Open competition in accordance with (IAW) Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.101-1 – Tradeoff Process. Any award to be made will be based on the following two-step approach:

1. Acceptable/Unacceptable Gate Criteria, which the Offeror shall substantiate in Volume II.

2. Only those Offerors who receive a rating of “Acceptable” in the first step will then be evaluated under the factors/subfactors set forth below and using the best value tradeoff approach provided under Volume III.

In order to meet the Mandatory Gate criteria and be determined acceptable, the Offeror must demonstrate the ability to provide National Security Agency (NSA) certified MIDS JTRS terminals that support Concurrent Multi-Netting-4 (CMN-4), Tactical Targeting Network Technology (TTNT), and F-22 capabilities within twelve (12) months of the anticipated award.

MIDS JTRS variants are required to employ embedded cryptographic engines, and the cryptographic capability is required to be software configurable and capable of hosting software-defined Cryptographic Equipment Algorithms (CEA) and networking waveform Communications Security (COMSEC)/ Transmission Security (TRANSEC) algorithms. The Software Defined Radio (SDR) is required to be capable of certified operation with different classification levels assigned to each channel. Key loading will be provided by current force devices such as the Simple Key Loader (SKL). To facilitate supportability within the current logistical infrastructure, it is desired that all components be capable of being handled and transported as unclassified Controlled Cryptographic Items (CCI).

The cryptographic architecture of the radio is required to be in compliance with NSA Management Directive 237 Number 10 (MD-10).

In order to demonstrate compliance with the Gate criteria, as part of its proposal, the Offeror shall provide the following:

JTRS Compliance/JTRS Software Communications Architecture (SCA) certification (defined in “JTRS Criteria for ‘JTRS Compliant’ and ‘JTRS Certified’ Designation,” JPEO JTRS Memo, 23 Jan 2012), NSA Type 1 Certification, Department of Defense DoD DIACAP accreditations, Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) certification, JTRS Test and Evaluation Laboratory (JTEL) SCA/Application Programming Interface (API) certification, Critical Program Information and Anti-Tamper Review Requirements (DoDI 5000.02), Equipment spectrum certification, Link 16 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Features certification, and Spectrum supportability (IAW DoDI

4650.01), Airworthiness compliance requirements, and Safe-For-Intended Use (SFIU) tests, which shall consist of (1) crash safety, (2) random vibration, (3) RE102 radiated emissions, electrical field, 10 KHz to 18 GHz, (4) CE102 conducted emissions, power leads, 10 KHz to 10 MHz, and (5) explosive atmosphere and a signed AFMC Form 3.

Only Offerors who have met the Gate criteria in Volume II above hwill be considered acceptable by the Government will be evaluated on their technical approach in Volume III. Offerors who do not meet the Gate criteria will be considered unacceptable and will be removed from consideration for award.

1.4 VOLUME III: TECHNICAL PROPOSAL. Each Offeror shall submit a written proposal in accordance with Sections 1 through 4 below to enable the Government to evaluate the extent to which the proposal meets the Government’s requirements. Wherever relevant, the Offeror is encouraged to use cross-references to the applicable sections of the proposal, rather than repeating that information in the several sections of this volume. No cost/price information shall be included in the technical volume.

Offerors shall prepare Volume III to address the four (4) separate factors as follows:

Factor 1 – Integrated Master Schedule (IMS)

Factor 2 – Delivery Order 0001

Subfactor 2.1 - Delivery Schedule Adherence

Subfactor 2.2 – Terminal Maintainability – Repair Turn Around Time (TAT)

Factor 3 – Past Performance

Factor 4 - Small Business Participation

1.4.1 Section 1: Integrated Master Schedule (Factor 1)

The Offeror shall submit an event-based Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) containing the events, significant accomplishments, and accomplishment criteria necessary to successfully design, qualify and deliver MIDS JTRS CMN-4, TTNT and F-22 variant terminals within twelve (12) months after the anticipated award date. The IMS should delineate the Offeror’s planned schedule for all activities, events, milestones, and critical paths associated with executing the program. The IMS shall include the program schedule with technical tasks and activities necessary to deliver MIDS JTRS CMN-4, TTNT and F-22 variant terminals within twelve (12) months after the anticipated award date.

1.4.2 Section 2: Delivery Order 0001: Lot 9 Production (Factor 2)

This factor will be awarded as Delivery Order (DO) 0001 to the Offeror or Offerors who are awarded the basic IDIQ contract(s). See Attachment 1 for the DO 0001 SOW.

Page Limitation: Ten (10) pages, single sided not including copies of certificates/approvals/letters/excel spreadsheet. The ten-page limitation applies to Factor 2 as a whole. Type size shall be Times New Roman and no smaller than 12 point. Any additional pages included in the Offeror’s proposal beyond the page limitation will not be considered in the Government’s evaluation.

The Offeror shall submit a technical proposal to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound determination as to whether or not the Offeror will meet the requirements of the Government. To this end, each technical proposal shall be so specific, detailed, and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the prospective Offeror has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements and has valid and practical solutions for any technical problems. Statements that paraphrase the specifications or attest that “standard procedures will be employed, etc.,” are inadequate. Offerors are reminded that both independent data (e.g., data currently in the Government’s possession) and data provided by Offerors in their proposals may be used to evaluate the Offeror’s proposal.

The Offeror shall propose its technical approach to DO 0001 to include the following:

1.4.2.1 Delivery Schedule Adherence (Subfactor 2.1)

The Offeror shall include in its proposal a narrative demonstrating Delivery Schedule Adherence.

In addition, the Offeror shall provide a table in the format below that depicts the number of MIDS JTRS or equivalent terminals that meet the requirements of the Attachment 1 –SOW that were contractually required to be delivered (per contract Section F) (Column B) and the actual number of terminals that were accepted by the Government (Column C) each month (Column A). The Government expects any and all contracts/DOs cited under Factor 3: Past Performance that were represented as meeting some or all of the requirements of the Attachment 1 – SOW to be included in the table below.

The Excel spreadsheet will not be included as part of the page count. The Offeror shall ensure that the information in this Excel file is also provided in PDF format as part of the Technical Volume, which will be included in the page count. For failed items that were received from the Government at the Offeror’s facility and then are subsequently re-sent to a subcontractor or other partner facility for repair, the repair time starts when the item was first received from the Government at the Offeror’s facility, not when the repairing subcontractor or partner received the item. For repair efforts that have not been completed, identify the date the failed item was received at the Offeror’s facility.

1.4.3 Section 4: Past Performance (Factor 3)

The Offeror shall provide past performance information on recent contracts/DOs performed by the Offeror and/or its proposed major subcontractors for efforts relevant to the requirements of this RFP. “Relevant” is defined as design, development and delivery of MIDS JTRS CMN-4, F-22 and/or TTNT variant terminals that have achieved NSA Type 1 Certification, Department of Defense (DoD) DIACAP accreditations. “Recent” is defined as a contract currently being performed or having been performed within the last five (5) years. For purposes of past performance, a “major subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor that will be performing at least 10 percent of the total proposed effort (by dollar value) under any resultant contract.

Offerors shall submit a description of previous experience in designing, manufacturing and providing sustainment, to include Problem Report resolution, SIPRNET maintenance and repairs, retrofits or updates for each configuration, MIDS JTRS CMN-4, F-22, and TTNT, as described in this solicitation. Additionally, Offerors shall submit previous experience with development of future ERs, BCs and BUs software of the same or similar nature, including use of the same or similar processes and approaches, as this solicitation. As a part of this description, Offerors shall identify the organizational entity and location where the appraisal was performed, the type of evaluation, the organization performing the evaluation, and the level earned.

Past performance on Federal Government contracts shall be provided if available. If the Offeror has not performed on a Federal Government contract within the last five (5) years, information on relevant state, local Government, and/or commercial contracts and/or subcontracts may be submitted instead. Furthermore, past performance information may also include predecessor companies that have past performance similar and relevant to the requirements of this RFP.

Offerors that have no relevant record of past performance must submit a signed and dated statement to that effect. Offerors with no relevant past performance will receive a Neutral rating.

(1) Attachment 23: The Offeror shall provide past performance information by completing Attachment 23, “Past Performance Reference Information Sheet,” for up to three (3) contracts. This information shall be submitted for no more than three (3) of the most current and relevant contracts for the prime contractor and/or proposed subcontractors.

(2) Attachment 24: If the Offeror’s past performance information is located in the Contractor Performance

Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) (as indicated in Block 15 of Attachment 24), then it is not necessary for Attachment 24 - Contractor Performance Questionnaire/Survey to be submitted. If available, attach the most recent CPARS evaluation for each experience (not to be counted against the page limitation). If CPARS evaluations are unavailable, ensure that the contact information references (Block 9(a)/9(b)) are accurate.

For those Offerors whose past performance information is not located on the automated systems, Offerors shall contact their references and request that each reference complete Attachment 24 “Past Performance Questionnaire/Survey,” and email the survey directly to joseph.gonzales1@navy.mil no later than the proposal due date.

The Government may consider questionnaires received after the due date of the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government reserves the right to utilize other past performance information considered relevant that may be located in Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or other reporting systems.

The Government reserves the right to use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. This past performance information may be used for the evaluation of past performance.

The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offeror.

1.4.4 Section 4: Small Business Participation (Factor 4)

All Prime Offerors (Large AND Small Businesses) shall submit a completed Small Business Participation Data form (Attachment 25). All Offerors shall discuss their approach to meeting the following desired Subcontracting Participation Objectives (as a percentage of all subcontracted effort):

Small Business Categories Subcontracting Participation Objectives (Based on % of all Subcontracted effort)

Total Small Business (includes the below) 30.00% Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 5.00% Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 5.00% HUBZone 3.00% Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business

Note: Large business concerns are required to submit a separate Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 19.7 and FAR 52.219-9. The requirement for the Small Business Subcontracting Plan is in addition to the information required within the Small Business Participation section.

For each subcontractor proposed, Offerors must ensure that the subcontractor names and values listed in the Small Business Participation Data attachment match the subcontractor names and values throughout the entire proposal (Technical and Cost/Price). In addition to RFP Small Business Participation Data form, each prime contractor (whether a small or large business) shall submit the cover sheet for their letter of commitment with each proposed small business subcontractor. (Each letter shall detail the teaming agreement between the prime contractor and each proposed small business subcontractor, but only the signed cover sheet is required).

1.5 VOLUME IV: COST/PRICE PROPOSAL

52.215-20 Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data (Oct 1997), Alt IV

Submission of certified cost or pricing data is not required. This volume shall contain cost/price information only.

1.5.1 Delivery Order 0001 Cost/Price Proposal: The Offeror shall submit a cost/price proposal for Delivery Order (DO) 0001 according to the instructions below.

1.5.1.1 CLINs 0001, 0002 and 0005.

For evaluation purposes, the Government will use terminal prices including warranty prices to calculate a total terminal price. The Government reserves the right to reject any pricing model submitted that demonstrates an excessively steep curve. “Excessively steep” is defined as the pricing curve having a slope that exceeds 2.5% change in price per 5% change in award percentage.

1.5.1.2 Attachment 21- Pricing Model, is hereby locked to depict the configurations of terminal variants. The Offeror shall price only those variants identified in Section M-2. The MIDS JTRS (5) variant will only be ordered with the new Cryptographic Subsystem/Protected Core Processor (CSS/PCP) Shop Replaceable Unit (SRU) and Dash 11 (-11) Internal Power Supply (IPS). Any other configuration will not be acceptable. Spare SRUs, such as Red I/O, CSS/PCP and Chassis, may be procured through a Fair Opportunity Exception (FOE) using the prices for spares outlined in the Offeror submitted Pricing Model. Therefore, Offerors should not submit a separate pricing model for spares.

1.5.1.3 Warranty prices. The Offeror shall provide a complete Price List A: Warranty Unit Prices (Attachment 22).

Terminals and/or spares may be ordered with or without the warranty. Those MIDS JTRS terminals and/or spares ordered with the warranty shall include the price of the warranty in the total terminal price.

The Offerors shall not change the ceiling amounts. The Offeror should refer to the Section B clauses for each CLIN-type for additional information in preparing its cost proposal. The Gov’t does not require detailed cost element information for the overarching contract-level CLINs.

1.5.3 CDRL Price Table: Not Applicable. For the CDRL CLINS, the Offeror shall insert “Not Separately Priced” (NSP) in Section B. The cost of CDRLs shall be included in the cost the Offeror proposes for CLINs 0001-0003, 0006-0008 and 0010 as described in Section B.
