INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS

1.1 General Information

This provision specifies the organization, format, and contents of an Offeror’s past performance, technical proposal, and price proposal to be submitted in response to this solicitation for evaluation by the Government. The purpose of the instructions contained in this provision is to provide for uniform submission of all Offerors’ proposals.

Uniformity is expected to facilitate Government efficiency and accuracy in the technical and price evaluation and source selection process. The contents of the Offeror’s proposal shall be organized to conform to the requirements specified herein.

Requirements for the contents of each of the submitted written technical proposals are identified below. The order of presentation in the Offeror’s submitted written proposal shall correspond to the order of the Factors discussed below.

The content requirements described below address major topics of concern to the Government. Failure to respond to any of these topics may be considered a "deficiency." All proposal information provided must be relevant and clearly explain how the proposed item will meet the requirements of the 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 the Offeror’s response to this solicitation.

Any Offeror’s experience, capability, knowledge, and understanding not specifically described in the submitted proposal will not be assumed to exist by the Government during evaluation.

This will be an acquisition effort utilizing a best value approach. The Offerors’ product samples and proposals will be evaluated to ensure that the items being offered comply with the criteria listed in the solicitation.

Offerors are cautioned that the Government reserves the right to make award based on initial offers without discussions with Offerors. Therefore, it is imperative that the information provided in the Offeror’s response to the solicitation be complete and accurate and that the prices proposed be the Offeror’s best terms. Each initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, if considered necessary by the Contracting Officer, discussions may be conducted with those Offerors determined to be in the competitive range.

THE GOVERNMENT RESERVES THE RIGHT TO REJECT ANY PROPOSAL THAT DOES NOT COMPLY

WITH THESE PROPOSAL PREPARATION/SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS.

PROPOSALS SHALL NOT CONTAIN CLASSIFIED INFORMATION.

1.2 Restriction of Disclosure/Proprietary Information

If the Offeror wishes to restrict the disclosure or use of its proposal, a proper legend must be included on materials provided. Individual subcontractor/vendor proprietary information may be submitted via separate binders/CD- ROMs. The information contained in these binders/CD-ROMs must be referenced (by binder title, page number, and section number, as appropriate) within the main proposal where the information would have been included if it were not subcontractor/vendor proprietary. The information in these separate binders/CD- ROMs is subject to all other requirements of the solicitation and must be well-marked to clearly indicate any special handling instructions.

1.3 Questions

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to bring to the attention of the Contracting Officer at the earliest possible time, but prior to the closing date, any ambiguities, discrepancies, inconsistencies, or conflicts between the statement of work (SOW), drawings, and other solicitation documents attached hereto or incorporated by reference. All questions shall be submitted to john.c.roberts3@navy.mil. The deadline for submitting questions is 60 calendar days after issuance of the solicitation.

1.4 Classification

This requirement is being solicited in accordance with (IAW) FAR 6.203, Set-asides for small business concerns.

The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code applicable to the requirements contained within this solicitation is 334418. The size standard for NAICS 334418 can be found at www.sba.gov.

1.5 Start Date

In order to allow for procurement lead time and a fair and equal evaluation of all proposals submitted under this competitive procurement, all proposals shall be based on a contract award date of March 2020. This date is only an estimate of the anticipated contract award date and will be used for the purpose of proposal evaluation only. A definitive award date will be incorporated into the contract document.

1.6 World Wide Web Solicitation Information

The complete solicitation package, including all amendments, should be received and reviewed prior to submitting a response. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to obtain all amendments and/or other applicable documents prior to submission of the offer. Under these circumstances, Offerors are reminded to include acknowledgement of acceptance of these amendments in their offer. Any amendments to the subject solicitation will be posted to the Federal Business Opportunities web portal (FedBizOpps), https://www.fbo.gov.

ELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONS OF PROPOSALS, TO INCLUDE E-MAIL AND FAX, IN RESPONSE TO

THIS SOLICITATION ARE NOT ACCEPTABLE. THE ONLY ACCEPTABLE METHOD TO SUBMIT

AN OFFER UNDER THIS SOLICITATION IS TO MAIL BOTH A HARDCOPY PROPOSAL AND A CD-

ROM CONTAINING AN ELECTRONIC VERSION OF THE PROPOSAL IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE

INSTRUCTIONS FOUND IN THE RFP SO THAT THE ENTIRE SUBMISSION IS RECEIVED BEFORE

THE DATE AND TIME SET FOR CLOSING OF THIS SOLICITATION.

2.1 General

Award will be made under Solicitation No. N0016419RJN78 based on a best value source selection process.

Proposals that do not comply with the detailed instructions for the format and content of the proposal may render the Offeror ineligible for award.

2.2 Proposal General Guidance

Each technical proposal shall enable the Government evaluation personnel to facilitate a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound factual-based determination as to whether or not the proposal will meet the Government’s requirements. Each technical proposal shall be specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate the degree of the prospective contractor’s knowledge and understanding of the requirements. The technical proposal shall be used as a method to determine if the proposed solutions to technical problems are valid and practical.

Statements which merely paraphrase the SOW or attest that “standard procedures will be employed” are inadequate to enable the Government to evaluate and do not allow the Government to determine if the proposal complies with the requirements of the SOW. Unsupported promises to comply with contractual requirements will not be sufficient.

Failure to thoroughly describe (i.e. test data, test methods, design/drawings, etc.) how the proposed item meets a requirement will result in a negative evaluation in regards to the subject requirement. If the technical proposal is deficient in supporting data, the Government may assign a deficiency for the subject requirement regardless of any claims to meet the requirement. Proposals must contain supporting rationale for any statements related to proposed performance. No assumptions will be made by evaluators regarding areas that are not addressed in the Offeror’s written proposal.

2.3 Mailed or Commercial Delivery of Proposals

Mailed or commercially delivered hard copies of proposals and CD-ROMs shall be sent to the address listed below.

SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION

DO NOT OPEN

2.5.3 Written Technical Proposal —Factor I – Subfactor B

Offerors shall submit a Written Technical Proposal in response to the specifications described in the solicitation in such detail to allow the Government to evaluate the proposal.

The Written Technical Proposal shall define the Offeror’s technical approach that would satisfy the requirements of the SOW, drawings, and solicitation requirements.

Each Written 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 as specified in the solicitation. To this end, each Written Technical Proposal shall be so specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough knowledge and understanding of the requirements.

Statements which paraphrase the specifications or attest that "standard procedures will be employed," are inadequate to demonstrate how the Offeror proposes to comply with the requirements of the solicitation. Statements that the Offeror "understands" the methods and procedures for performing the described requirements will be considered inadequate as will statements such as "straightforward engineering techniques" and the "highest quality control procedures". The material must be sufficiently detailed to demonstrate an understanding of the technical specifications and the solicitation requirements. Unsupported promises to comply with contractual requirements will not be sufficient. Proposals must contain supporting rationale for any statements relating to proposed performance.

The Written Technical Proposal shall include a complete description of how your company will manufacture the CLIN/FMS CLIN(s) you are proposing on from start to finish. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Address your capability to produce 100/ea CCA’s per month by describing your maximum monthly capacity/capability for CCA production. Consider your current and projected workload when proposing your capacity.

2. Address your company’s type of equipment for placement of components i.e. pick and place machine, ball grid array, etc.

3. Address your company’s types of assembly machines i.e. wave solder machine, selective solder machine/certified hand solder technicians, flux application machines, etc.

4. Address your company’s types of coating application apparatus i.e. conformal coating sprayer, etc.

5. Address your company’s type of inspection equipment, i.e. X-Ray, Automated Optical Inspection, etc.

No assumptions will be made by evaluators regarding areas that are not addressed in the Offeror’s written proposal and any pages that exceed the 25 page maximum will not be evaluated.

2.5.3.1 SOW and Drawing Compliance

Offerors shall provide the following information to allow the Government to determine acceptability of products being proposed:

a. An acceptable technical proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

b. Offerors shall identify any “exceptions” to the SOW and/or drawings and state precisely how the offered supplies differ from the solicitation documents.

c. Offerors SHALL include a hard copy of the following Technical Capability/Compliance Information in response to the requirements described in the solicitation in such detail to allow the Government to evaluate the technical acceptability of the proposal. This SHALL include:

Compliance with the SOW.

Compliance with drawings.

d. The Offerors shall include a summary of how they will comply with these requirements. The summary 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.

2.5.4 Past Performance Proposal – Factor II

a. The past performance portion of the proposal shall be submitted as a part of Volume III, and shall be no more than a maximum of 10 pages for the narrative.

b. Proposals shall not contain classified information.

c. The past performance proposal shall not contain any pricing information.

d. Past performance information shall include:

1) The Offeror shall submit descriptions for a maximum of five recent past performance references which are relevant to the effort required by this solicitation. For the purposes of this solicitation, recent contracts are defined as those on which performance occurred from calendar year 2016 to present. Relevant contracts are defined as either prime contracts or significant subcontracts for present/past performance efforts involving similar scope and magnitude, dealing with manufacture, test, inspection, packaging and delivery of circuit card assemblies or related technology, to this solicitation. (See Item 7 below for more details.) Commercial and state/local contracts may be included, if necessary.

2) The description shall include the below information in the following format:

i. Identify in specific detail for each contract listed how that effort is considered relevant or similar to the effort required by this solicitation.

ii. Offeror’s (and/ subcontractor's) CAGE and DUNS numbers

iii. Government or commercial contracting activity, address, telephone number, and email address

iv. Procuring Contracting Officer's (PCO's) name, telephone number, and email address

v. Government or commercial contracting activity technical representative, or COR; and telephone numbers

vi. Government or commercial contract administration activity, and the name and telephone number of the Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO)

vii. Contract number

viii. Contract award date

ix. Contract type

x. Awarded price/cost

xi. Final, or projected final, price/cost

xii. Original delivery schedule

xiii. Final or projected final, delivery schedule

xiv. A narrative explanation on each previous contract listed describing the objectives achieved and any cost growth or schedule delays encountered and any revised delivery schedules as well as the reason(s) the delivery schedule was revised. For any contracts which did not or do not meet original requirements with regard to cost, schedule, or technical performance, a brief explanation of the reason(s) for such shortcomings and any demonstrated corrective actions taken to avoid recurrence. The Offeror shall also provide as an attachment a copy of any cure notices or show cause letters received on each previous contract listed and a description of any corrective action by the Offeror or proposed subcontractor.

3) In addition to the prior relevant contract references, the Offeror shall also provide the above required information for any and all contracts under which it has been terminated in whole or in part, for default or cause during the past 10 years, to include those currently in the process of such termination as well as those which are not similar to the proposed effort.

4) Offerors which lack relevant past performance information or for which such information is not available (e.g., new corporate entities) shall instead submit the above required past performance data on its predecessor companies (if any), its personnel that will perform this contract who have relevant experience, and any significant or critical subcontractors the Offeror is proposing to use, which shall serve as the basis for the Government’s past performance evaluation of such Offerors.

However, in addition to the other requirements in this section, the Offeror shall discuss in detail the role performed by such persons in the prior contracts cited.

5) Offerors shall submit an outline of how the effort required by the solicitation will be assigned for performance within the Offeror's corporate entity and among proposed subcontractors.

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:

i. what internal corporate bodies/divisions will accomplish which portions of the effort,

ii. 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

iii. 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 responsible personnel, processes, facilities and equipment.

6) 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 solicitation risk rejection or high performance risk assessment by the Government.

7) 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, its responsible personnel who will perform this contract, or its significant or critical subcontractors, the Offeror should so state that in this volume and explain.

8) 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 major or critical proposed subcontractors, team members, or joint venture partners that have experience in projects of similar size, scope, and technical complexity with its proposal. 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 database s (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.

e. Past Performance Matrix - Offeror shall provide a Past Performance Matrix for each of the Past Performance Questionnaires (PPQ) (Attachment 4) sent out listing the following:

1) Organization/Customer

2) Brief Description

3) Contract Number

4) Telephone & E-mail of Organization/Customer Point of Contact (POC)

5) Date PPQ being sent to POC and transmission method utilized

f. The Offeror shall provide a maximum of five past performance references on prior contracts that are recent and relevant to this requirement. The Offeror shall contact past performance references directly and request that they complete and submit directly to the agency, the Past Performance Matrix and the Past Performance Questionnaire to the address in Block 9 of SF33, Page 1 of the Solicitation or to john.c.roberts3@navy.mil in accordance with the timeline set in Block 9 of SF33, Page 1 of the Solicitation.

The completed questionnaires shall be sent directly from the reference POC to the contract specialist, John Roberts. Under no circumstances shall the questionnaires be returned to the Offerors. Any information provided by the Offeror’s references 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 Offeror’s Past Performance Matrix. The Offeror may provide information on problems encountered on the identified contracts as well as the Offeror’s corrective actions.
