In order to provide adequate support WXS requires various machined items. This SOW cites the Government's requirements for the build-to-print fabrication of manufactured items (e.g. machining, composite lay-ups, additive manufacturing, fabrication etc.), with these items ultimately assisting WXS in supporting the Navy's EA-18G and P-8A, and other DOD platforms/requirements. Furthermore, additional Electronic Warfare (EW) divisions at NSWC Crane may meet their requirements for manufactured items in accordance with the requirements cited in the SOW, on an as needed basis.

Statements that paraphrase the specifications/Statement of Work or attest that "standard procedures will be employed” are inadequate to demonstrate how the proposal complies with the requirements of the specification/Statement of Work.

How the Government will evaluate:

CLIN 0001: Offerors shall provide two machined part product samples, one that is made from a single piece of construction and finished per all specifications on Drawing 925986 Rev H (except for the specification requirements cited under Notes 7, 8, & 11 of the drawing) and a second machined part product sample finished per specifications on Drawing 372299 Rev R. Product samples will first be evaluated to determine if it meets the Go/No-Go requirement cited under #1 of the Inspection Plan. (Note: Inspection Plan cited under CNIN-M-0002 (Best Value Evaluation), Factor 1: Technical, Sub-Factor A: Product Sample Evaluation) . If the product sample passes the Go/No-Go requirement, the product sample will be evaluated under #’s 2 – 6 of the Inspection Plan. If the product sample fails the Go/No-Go evaluation, or no product sample is submitted as a part of the complete proposal submission, the offeror’s proposal will not be further evaluated and thus will not be considered for award. (Note:

The Government shall be deemed to automatically obtain ownership of each contractor’s product sample after completion of the product sample evaluation).

CLIN 0002: Offerors shall provide one fabricated composite part product sample finished per specifications on Drawing Package AFTFAIRING (and associated drawings). Product samples will first be evaluated to determine if it meets the Go/No-Go requirement cited under #1 of the Inspection Plan. (Note: Inspection Plan cited under CNIN- M-0002 (Best Value Evaluation), Factor 1: Technical, Sub-Factor A: Product Sample Evaluation) . If the product sample passes the Go/No-Go requirement, the product sample will be evaluated under #’s 2 – 7 of the Inspection Plan. If the product sample fails the Go/No-Go evaluation, or no product sample is submitted as a part of the complete proposal submission, the offeror’s proposal will not be further evaluated and thus will not be considered for award. (Note: The Government shall be deemed to automatically obtain ownership of each contractor’s product sample after completion of the product sample evaluation).

The offeror shall produce a sample product based on existing drawing specifications for the following; CLIN 0001:

Two different Machined Part samples, or CLIN 0002: One Fabricated Composite Part, or if proposing on both CLIN’s they shall provide Two different Machined Parts for CLIN 0001 along with One Fabricated Composite Part for CLIN 0002.. The drawings are included as Attachments (Drawing Package 925986 Rev H (and associated drawings) plus Drawing 372299 Rev R Reflector for Machined Part Samples development) and (Drawing Package AFTFAIRING (and associated drawings) for Fabricated Composite Part Sample development) in the Source Selection Plan.

d) Completed Solicitation (Volume II)

Any information provided is subject to verification/validation by the Government during the evaluation process.

The Government may make contact and follow up with the listed references identified on the Contractor Past Performance Data Sheet.

c) 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, and/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 they cannot submit that program for evaluation. Offerors are notified that the Government will use the data provided in this volume that is determined to be current and relevant to the effort at hand and data obtained from other sources in the development of performance risk assessments.

IV. Price Proposals:

a) The offeror shall submit pricing by quantity IAW the Pricing Matrix in Section B. Pricing shall be realistic and represent the range of quote for that quantity. Provide any additional pricing information as necessary.
