j) Proposal General Guidance

1) 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 Offerors' proposals. However, the Government reserves the right to consider other information as part of the evaluation of the past performance factor. 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 evaluation if it is not submitted in the proposal. 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 efforts (or any portion thereof) and can or will comply with the requirements of the solicitation” will not be considered sufficient. Generic statements such as "straight forward engineering techniques" and the "highest quality control procedures” will not be considered to be sufficient to demonstrate that the proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

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 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.

FACTOR I – TECHNICAL

A. Product Sample

Offerors shall provide 6 product sample(s) each, for the MK13 MOD7 and MK15 MOD 1 Sniper Rifle triggers that are being solicited. These product samples are right-hand only. No left-hand triggers will be required. Product samples will be evaluated by Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane personnel against the performance specifications identified in the solicitation and the Statement of Work (SOW). The Government may or may not choose to fully evaluate the product samples against all the requirements identified in the Performance Specifications. All product samples will be tested to the same specifications and SOW requirements. The Government requires the product samples to be representative of the production units.

Evaluation of the product sample(s) will consist of confirming that the product samples meet the following Go / No-Go criteria testing.

Go/ No-Go #1: Pull Weight testing. All six samples will be tested for their pull weight. Samples must have a pull weight within specification (3.5 - 4.5 lbs.) and must have a functioning safety with a true, two position, operation of fire and safe with no other perceived positions. If any of the six product samples do not meet these requirements the submission will no longer be considered for award.

Go/ No-Go #2: Drop testing. If all of the samples pass pull weight testing, then three triggers will be randomly selected from the six product samples to be used for initial screening via drop testing. During drop testing one fired primer is considered a failure. If any one of the three samples tested fails drop testing, the submission will no longer be considered.

Go/ No-Go #3: Endurance testing. If all three triggers pass drop testing, the other three samples that were not drop tested will be used for endurance testing. Endurance testing is function of the weapon 2,500 times. At 500 round increments the trigger will be tested for safety. When the safety is placed in the SAFE position it must not fire, when it is placed in the FIRE position it must fire. With rapid bolt manipulation it must not slam fire. If any one of the three samples tested fails endurance testing, the submission will no longer be considered.

Product sample(s) failing the Go/No Go requirements will be rejected and both the product samples and the written technical proposals will not be further evaluated for award. Product samples that successfully pass this initial evaluation will continue with the full evaluation.

If the product samples pass all Go/No-Go criteria, the three triggers that were used for endurance testing will be used for the full technical evaluation. The full technical evaluation shall consist of the samples being subjected to salt fog testing and evaluation of the Offerors’ written technical proposal against the factors and subfactors identified in the solicitation. The other considerations for award will be previous contract performance and proposed price.

Product samples shall be sent to the address below:

Naval Surface Warfare Center Crane Division UIC N00164 Bldg 2390, J. Scott Johnson, JXNN 300 Highway 361 Crane, IN 47522-5001 812-854-5857

Product samples will not be returned to the offeror after evaluation.

B. Written Technical Proposal (Volume I)

a) The Technical proposal volume of the proposal shall be submitted as Volume I, and shall be no more than 30 pages in total (excluding coversheet, glossary of terms and Table of Contents (TOC)).

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

c) Each Technical 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.

A hard copy 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.

Information required in the above paragraphs shall be provided for each proposed subcontractor who will perform a significant portion of the effort. "Significant" is defined for these purposes in terms of criticality of the subcontracted work to the whole. With regard to prime contract assignments that will be performed by the Offeror and not a proposed subcontractor, the Offeror shall indicate:

1) what internal corporate bodies/divisions will accomplish which portions of the effort,

2) whether or not those divisions were responsible for performance under the previous contracts for which the Offeror is providing information under the instant proposal, and

3) if those divisions have relocated since the accomplishment of previous cited contract efforts, a description of any changes arising from that relocation in terms of key personnel, processes, facilities and equipment.

Offerors shall include in their proposal the written consent of their proposed significant subcontractors to allow the Government to discuss the subcontractor's past performance assessment with the offeror during negotiations.

Note: Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals may be used to assess offeror past performance. Since the Government may not necessarily interview all of the sources provided by the offerors, it is incumbent upon the offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance source data remains with the offerors. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or high performance risk assessment by the Government.

d) For the purposes of this solicitation, recent contracts are defined as those on which performance occurred during the last three (3) years. 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. 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. If an offeror has no current or relevant past performance information for itself, its predecessor companies, or its key personnel who will perform this contract, the Offeror should so state that in this volume and explain.

e) Each offeror shall submit present and past performance information for itself on projects of similar size, scope, and technical complexity. The Offerors may choose to submit present and past performance information for team members, or joint venture partners that have experience in projects of similar size, scope, and technical complexity with its proposal. 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). 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.) should 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.

Electronic copies of any tables must be capable of being edited (i.e. not embedded pictures or screenshots) within MS Word or MS Excel. Excel files shall not include macros or pivot tables. In addition, all formulas and numerical relationships shall be retained and accessible in the MS Excel files.
