Requirements for the contents of each of the submitted written proposals are identified below. The order of presentation in the offeror's submitted written proposal shall correspond to the order of the Factors and Subfactors discussed below. The content requirements described below address major topics of concern to the Government.

Failure to respond to any of these topics will be consider a "deficiency". The offeror may expand on or beyond the specific information requested, but any additional information shall be within the page limitations. Any additional text provided must be relevant and demonstrate capabilities beneficial to the overall requirements described in this solicitation. Each written proposal must be separate and contain sufficient information to permit a detailed evaluation. Previously submitted data, if any, will not be used in the evaluation of your response to this solicitation.

(i) Product Samples:

Offerors shall provide two (2) product samples (production representative) for the BNVD system that is being solicited. At the time of submission, offerors shall also provide the image tube data sheets for each of the Product Samples submitted and any ancillary equipment required for proper use/testing of the submitted Product Samples.

Product samples will first be evaluated by NSWC, Crane and SOCOM personnel against Performance Specification PS/16/JXQR/142-Rev-Chg 6, Go/No Go criteria. The PS/16/JXQR/142-Rev-Chg 6 Go/No Go criteria is listed under 52.212-2 Evaluation -- Commercial Items. Any proposed product sample failing to meet any of the performance specification Go/ No Go requirements will be ineligible for contract award and will not be further evaluated.

Proposed product samples passing all Go/ No Go criteria requirements tests will then be subjected to further product sample evaluation in accordance with (IAW) the Factor and Subfactor requirements of this solicitation (see Subfactor A below).

Resubmission of product sample(s) will not be allowed during the Product Sample Evaluation [and Final Proposal Revision phase]. An unacceptable rating in the Product Sample Evaluation subfactor will render the offeror technically unacceptable and the offer will be ineligible for award.

Product Samples will be returned to the offerors after award of the contract

Product sample(s) for the item indicated in this solicitation is required and must be furnished as part of the offer. The sample(s) must be received on or before the time set forth for receipt of offers noted in Block 8 of page 1 of this solicitation. The samples are to be delivered to the following address:

Proposals are due by the date and time in Block 8 on Page 1 of the solicitation. Please notify the Contract Specialist at logan.obrien@navy.mil when a hard copy is being sent and privide a copy of the shipping label.

(j) VOLUME II - FACTOR I - Technical/Risk Capability -Technical Proposal

In addition to the product samples, the offerors shall submit a written proposal in response to the factors and subfactors described in the solicitation in such detail to allow the Government to evaluate the proposal and the image tube data sheets for each of the product samples.

Each Factor within the written proposal shall be submitted in separate Sections. The following are the factors and subfactors. (SEE FAR clause 52.212-2 for relative order of importance)

FACTOR I – TECHNICAL/RISK CAPABILITY

SUBFACTOR A – PRODUCT SAMPLE EVALUATION

Offerors shall ensure that product samples submitted are functional working units and are the exact units being proposed by the offeror to satisfy the requirements in the solicitation. If an offeror submits a defective product sample or the product sample malfunctions during testing it will not be returned to the offeror for rework or replacement.

Resubmission of product sample(s) will not be allowed during the Product Sample Evaluation [and Final Proposal Revision phase]. An unacceptable rating in the Product Sample Evaluation subfactor will render the offeror technically unacceptable and the offer will be ineligible for award.

Product Samples passing all Go/No Go critera, including required ancillary equipment and image tube test data sheets will be evaluated by NSWC, Crane and SOCOM personnel against performance specifications PS/16/JXQR/142-Rev-Chg 6, PS/16/JXQR/143-Rev-Chg 2, and the Statement of Work (SOW) identified in this solicitation. The Government may or may not choose to fully evaluate the product samples against all the requirements identified in the Performance Specifications. Written technical evaluation, laboratory measurements and field tests will be used to determine product compliance with the performance specifications. All product samples will be tested to the same specification requirements. The two product samples shall be used collectively for evaluation against the specification requirements (i.e. each sample will not necessarily undergo full testing).

SUBFACTOR B – WRITTEN PERFORMANCE & SPECIFICATION COMPLIANCE MATRIX

Describe system characteristics and performance with respect to the thresholds specified in the Performance Specification.

Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or high performance risk assessment by the Government.

5.) For the purposes of this solicitation, recent contracts are defined as those on which performance occurred on or after March 2012. In determining relevancy, the offeror should consider the size, content, and complexity type and value of the contract, and the type of requirement compared to this solicited requirement. The offeror should also consider the level or amount of effort. Only past performance dealing with BNVD Devices or similar devices will be considered relevant. The offeror must provide details (if its Past Performance reference is based upon “related technology” as a reference) including how the “related technology” is applicable to the solicited effort. Should the offeror not explain how the related technology is applicable, the reference may not be considered relevant.

The total number of past performance references for each offeror shall not exceed five (including any references submitted by subcontractors, team members and/or joint ventures). Offerors shall include in their proposal the written consent of their proposed major subcontractors to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractor’s past performance assessment with the offeror during negotiations. This volume shall provide a list of current and relevant contracts on which the offeror has performed in the format requested in the Proposal Requirements portion of this document. This information, as well as other information the Government may obtain elsewhere via Government databases (CPARs, PPIRs etc.) and other government agencies (DCMA, DCAA etc.), will be used to evaluate the offeror's past performance. The Government reserves the right to solicit feedback beyond what is identified in the questionnaire. NO CLASSIFIED PAST PERFORMANCE SUPPLEMENTS WILL BE ACCEPTED. The offeror may submit performance on classified programs as long as that information can be verified. If the offeror intends to submit in this manner the information that is classified (customer, contract number, etc.) shall be marked “reserved” and the description/write up of the work performed shall remain unclassified. If the offeror cannot describe what work was accomplished in an unclassified manner the offeror cannot submit that program for Past Performance evaluation. Offerors are notified that the Government will evaluate the data provided in this volume and data obtained from other sources that is determined to be current and relevant to the effort at hand in the development of its performance risk assessments. Two (2) hard copies and 1 CD-ROM required.
