INDUSTRY QUESTIONS/ANSWERS #2

Question 1:

Reference Evaluation - Factor III Cost / Price.

Reference Statement:

"Total Evaluated Price (TEP). Pricing will be evaluated based upon both an examination of the unit pricing proposed and the estimated delivery order quantities per year, multiplied by the offered price for that quantity range, all years summed for the CLINs 0001, 0003, 0006, 0007, and 0009 plus inclusion of the Not to Exceed Amounts for CLINs 0002, 0004, 0005, and 0008 to arrive at a Total Evaluated Price. Contract Data, CLIN 0009 is "Not Separately Priced"."

Questions:

Please advise the estimate delivery order quantities per year to be used to calculate the total evaluated price.

Will the unit prices or total evaluated price be adjusted to reflect any risk or price reasonableness or any other assessment?

Answer 1:

Estimated delivery order quantities per year will not be provided. The offeror is to provide their best pricing per unit per year in the pricing matrices section of the Request for Proposal. The anticipated contract type is Firm-Fixed- Price.

Question 2:

Reference – Warranty and Non-Warranty Repairs

Question: Will the Commercial Asset Visibility (CAV) system be used for tracking LRU assets at the contractor’s depot for repair? If CAV is not the intended asset tracking system can more information be provided on the required tracking system for LRU assets at the contractor’s depot.

Answer 2:

The Government does not use CAV system for this effort. We are not setting up a depot for repair under this effort.

All repairs will be conducted by the Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM).

Question 3:

Reference CLIN 0002

Question: Will all spare LRUs be purchased on this contract or will spare LRUs be purchased on separate DLA contracts?

Answer 3:

The Government will not be purchasing spare LRUs under this contract. Again, all repairs will be conducted by the

OEM

Otherwise, submission of a proposal will be considered consent of use of the firm abovementioned.

i.) Proposal General Guidance Offerors should assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposals only. The Contractor should not presume that data previously submitted, or presumed to be known (e.g., data or services previously submitted or performed for the Government), will be considered as part of the proposal. The offeror shall submit documentation to support any testing and certification associated with required functionality of the system being proposed. Proposals must be clear, coherent, and prepared in sufficient detail to conduct an effective evaluation of the offeror’s proposal against the evaluation criteria. Also, this documentation shall cover all aspects of this solicitation and include the offeror’s approach for integration and program management activities. Proposals must clearly demonstrate how the offeror intends to deliver the end product and must include convincing rationale and substantiation of all claims. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. Failure to conform to requirements of this solicitation may form the basis for rejection of the proposal.

General statements such as “the Offeror understands the method for performing the Production efforts (or any portion thereof) and can or will comply with the requirements of the solicitation” will not be considered sufficient, as will generic statements such as "straight forward engineering techniques" and the "highest quality control procedures.”

The Offeror’s proposal must contain a precise description of all terms and conditions of the services and supplies offered and must address all topics described below. The offerors shall describe their proposals, through the use of graphs, charts, diagrams and narrative, in sufficient detail for the Government to understand and evaluate the nature of the approach. In its evaluation, the Government will consider the degree of substantiation of the proposed approaches in the proposal volumes and in response to any discussions if held. The information provided in the proposal shall appear in the same order as outlined herein.

In the event that any portion of the proposal is written by anyone who is not a bona fide employee of the firm submitting the proposal, a certificate to this effect shall be furnished which must be signed by an authorized official of the Offeror and shall indicate the 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. This certificate requirement applies to both the prime and any subcontractors. The certification shall be provided in Volume I.

Volume II – Technical

a) Offerors shall provide a minimum of one (1) and a maximum of two (2) each production representative product sample with their written proposal. The product sample(s) submitted must be in conformance with the requirements set forth in the performance specification.

The Technical volume of the proposal shall be submitted as Volume II, and shall be no more than 50 pages for Factor I (excluding coversheet, glossary of terms, test data, and table of contents (TOC).

b) No pricing information shall be contained in the technical proposal.

c) The written proposal shall enable Government evaluating personnel to make a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound determination as to whether or not the proposal will meet the requirements of the government. Each technical proposal shall be specific, detailed, and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the prospective contractor has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements and has valid and practical solutions to technical problems. Statements that paraphrase the Statement of Work or attest that "standard procedures will be employed” are inadequate to demonstrate how the proposal complies with the requirements of the Statement of Work. Unsupported promises to comply with contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Proposals must contain supporting rationale for any statements relating to proposed performance. No assumptions will be made by evaluators regarding areas that are not addressed in the Offeror’s written proposal.

d) Electronic and hard copies of the following documentation in response to the factors and subfactors described in the solicitation shall be provided in such detail as to allow the Government to evaluate the proposal. This shall include:
