SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The number of offeror copies required has decreased by 1 from 1 to 0.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

NOTES TO OFFERORS

1. The Crane Division, Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane, IN intends to award an Indefinite-Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) Multiple Award Contract (s) (MACs) to provide supplies and services as described in Section 3.0 of the Statement of Work. The resultant contract(s) will also contain provisions for Task and Delivery orders to be awarded on a firm-fixed-price basis. The MACs shall have an ordering period from date of contract award through sixty (60) months after date of award.

2. The procurement for the planned MAC(s) will be executed under Full and Open Competition After Exclusion of Sources: Set Asides for Small Business Concerns provisions through the use of competitive proposals as required by 10 U.S.C. 2304. After planned MAC award, all subsequent Task and Delivery Orders will be competed among qualified contractors who have been awarded the prototype Technology Area (or Areas) applicable to each requirement in accordance with FAR 16.505, unless one of the exceptions to Fair Opportunity at FAR 16.505(b)(2)(i) applies.

3. ONLY US COMPANIES ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AWARD. United States companies are the only eligible companies for award on this MAC IDIQ. This is due to the on-going requirement for base access in the execution of tasks.

4. Only one contract will be awarded per successful Offeror inclusive of all divisions, subsidiaries, and affiliates under common control.

5. Offerors may propose on one or more of the Technology Areas identified in the Statement of Work. Awarded contracts will cite the Technology Areas for which the Offeror is eligible. Offerors who do not propose on a particular Technology Area in response to this solicitation or who are not awarded a particular Technology Area as a result of this solicitation will not be able to propose on any orders in that particular Technology Area.

6. The cumulative total of all Orders issued under the IDIQ MAC among all MAC awardees will not exceed the total contract amount of $74M.

7. The Government’s best estimate of costs is set forth below. The Government does not guarantee either the amount for each CLIN or the total estimated amount:

ORDERING PERIOD (years 1 – 5)

CLIN Type Description Amount **

0001 FFP Technology Area 1 $33,300,000

0002 FFP Technology Area 2 $22,200,000

0003 FFP Technology Area 3 $11,100,000

0004 FFP Technology Area 4 $7,400,000

0005 Not Separately Priced

(NSP)

Data $0.00

0006 FFP minimum guarantee

Guaranteed payment if MAC holder is not awarded any Orders during the life of the contract.

$1,000 per MAC awardee (not per Technology Area), included in total contract amount

TOTAL $74,000,000

**Estimated, for informational purposes only

8. Industry Submission of Questions. Offerors shall submit questions by 19 October 2020 – 2:00 PM local time.

Questions received after the designated time may not allow sufficient time for the Government to respond. All questions concerning this procurement, either technical or contractual, shall be submitted via email to jodee.cool@navy.mil. All inquiries shall reference the applicable solicitation and/or specification page and paragraph number.

No direct discussions between the technical representatives and prospective Offerors are permitted.

9. Guaranteed Contract Amount: The Government guarantees each MAC holder $1,000 throughout the ordering period. The minimum obligation will be paid to an awardee at the end of the ordering period in the event that no order was issued to them after a competition within any of the Technology Areas and their contract was not terminated.

Each MAC Awardee prime contractor’s first delivery order will be funded/awarded at the contract minimum of $1,000. If the prime contractor receives a delivery order award (which resulted from winning a competition), the $1,000 minimum will be deducted from the total price of their proposed price of their second delivery order (the first requirement that they proposed on and were selected as the awardee), and the contractor will bill their first and second orders at time of successful completion of the second order’s defined requirement. The $1,000 will only be paid out if the prime contractor is not awarded a second delivery order with definite requirements during the five year ordering period of the contract.

iv. 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.

v. For the purposes of this solicitation, recent contracts are defined as those on which performance occurred during the last three years from issue date of this solicitation. 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 associated with the Technology Area being proposed will be considered relevant. If an Offeror has no current or relevant past performance information for itself, its predecessor companies, or its major or critical subcontractors, the Offeror should so state that in this volume and explain.

vi. 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 of each Technology Area being proposed. The total number of past performance references for each Offeror, per Technology Area, shall not exceed 5 (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 required 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, 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 the 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.

(c) Past Performance Matrix (PPM)– Offeror shall provide a Past Performance Matrix (Solicitation Attachment
