5.0 PROPOSAL ORGANIZATION

Factors are listed in descending order of importance.

Volume I - TECHNICAL (Factor 1) (Not to Exceed 50 pages)

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 for technical problems. Statements that paraphrase the specifications or attest that standard procedures will be employed are inadequate to demonstrate how the Offeror will comply with the requirements of the specifications.

The Offeror shall describe how it plans to accomplish the tasks associated with the following subfactors:

SUB-FACTOR 1: MANUFACTURING PLAN

The offeror shall provide a thorough description of the manufacturing plan proposed for the production of the M51A4N Cartridge. This description will demonstrate the offeror’s level of understanding of the technical data package (TDP) (drawings and specifications) and the requirements in the RFP. The manufacturing plan shall provide a description of each operation detailing how the cartridge will be produced (process prints may also be submitted if they assist in clarifying the proposed manufacturing processes in meeting TDP requirements). The offeror shall provide a process flowchart for all production equipment, material/product handling and storage, inspection, packaging and shipping.

All subcontracted work (if any) shall be discussed in the same level of detail as the in-house production. The proposal shall include the level of effort that will be required from the subcontractor and a description of the tasks to be performed. The contractor shall provide details on how they plan to manage their subcontracting work.

The offeror shall identify the key parameters and any potential problem areas or risks of the manufacturing process operations shown in the proposal (i.e. metal stamping, machining, and plastic molding) as well as any other adverse manufacturing events, resource shortages, and unscheduled process interruptions. The offeror shall also describe, in detail, how it proposes to mitigate these risks and prepare for contingencies. All subcontracted work (if any) shall be discussed in the same detail as in-house production.

The offeror shall provide individual qualifications, expertise, training, and specific job descriptions of all key personnel who shall be responsible for executing the proposed manufacturing plan for both the contractor and subcontractor(s). In addition, the contractor’s proposal shall provide information on their financial stability, if they have the funds necessary to execute this type of effort.

SUB-FACTOR 2: MANUFACTURING EQUIPEMENT, FACILITIES, AND

CAPABILITIES

The offeror shall provide detailed information concerning the manufacturing equipment to be used in the performance of this contract (i.e. type, capacity, power, and manufacturer). The proposal shall include, in detail, type of equipment to be used for each step in the aforementioned manufacturing plan for the M51A4N Cartridge. The offeror shall identify which equipment is already operational in-house and which equipment needs to be procured or outsourced. If the proposal includes a plan to procure or refurbish necessary manufacturing equipment, the offeror shall identify the availability and required installation and lead times to complete such efforts.

The offeror shall describe all proposed subcontracted facilities in the same level of detail.

The offeror shall identify the production rate capabilities for all processes, tests, and inspections.

The offeror shall identify potential limiting resources and discuss any impact. The proposal shall include discussions on how the contractor plans to address the possibility of a process failure and the resulting failure analysis. The offeror shall identify the production rate capabilities of all proposed subcontracted facilities in the same level of detail.

The offeror shall describe the facility environmental and security conditions for product (interim and finished) storage.

SUB-FACTOR 3: QUALITY ASSURANCE (Not included in the page limit)

The Offeror shall provide a copy of their Quality Management Plan (QMP) tailored to the requirements of the SOW for production of the Dummy Cartridge, 20MM, M51A4N, with MK7 MOD 1 Link in M548 Container that meets the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 or equivalent.

This document does not count against the page limitation of the technical proposal.

SUB-FACTOR 4: PROGRAM SCHEDULE

The offeror shall provide a fully detailed schedule and narrative identifying major tasks and events to meet the RFP requirements. The schedule shall be submitted in Gantt chart or similar type format. The schedule shall include, but not be limited to:

Designation of all subcontracted efforts;

Production planning and scheduling;

Ordering and delivery of raw materials;

Equipment purchase, installation or refurbish, debug and prove-out (if required);

Tooling design and acquisition;

First article testing;

Delivery schedule of production quantities.

If the offeror has materials on hand, or if no equipment set up is required, the proposal must state so explicitly.

The schedule shall begin at contract award, and continue through the final scheduled deliveries.

Volume II - PAST PERFORMANCE (Factor 2) (No Page Limit) Past performance information shall be provided for the Prime and all subcontractors in order to develop an Offeror's past performance rating.

Past performance information is one indicator of an Offeror’s (to include prime and subcontractors) ability to perform the contract successfully. In the evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance, the Government will use Contractor Personnel Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) as the primary source of past performance information, and reserves the right to use relevant performance within the past five years. Relevant and timely past performance information in the CPARS including the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) will be considered during the evaluation of an Offeror’s past performance. If Offerors are aware of any negative information in CPARS, they may address any extenuating circumstances in this section.

Using the Past Performance Matrix (as listed in Section J), the Offeror and all subcontractors shall provide a separate list of relevant contracts that were performed within the last five years.

Contracts that are listed in CPARS are preferred. The list for the Prime shall contain no more than seven relevant contracts. In addition, each subcontractor shall complete a separate matrix and provide no more than seven relevant contracts. The identified relevant contracts shall focus on performance that is relevant to the current solicitation requirement (i.e., AA20 Dummy Cartridges) cited in the Scope of this solicitation. Relevancy includes similarity of item, complexity and dollar value. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance. If the Offeror has no relevant past performance within the last five years or cannot provide a list of relevant contracts, then the Offeror must provide an explanation.

Past Performance Questionnaires (as listed in Section J) only apply to relevant contracts for which performance information is not available through CPARS. The Offeror and subcontractors shall submit the Past Performance Questionnaire to all of their references listed on the Past Performance Matrix that have NO CPARS contracts, and shall request the references to complete the Past Performance Questionnaire and return it directly to:

NSWC IHD Picatinny Detachment 3rd Avenue, BLDG 61N Picatinny Arsenal, NJ 07806-5000 Attn: Jerry Ilaria, Code 022GI

Past Performance Questionnaires shall be emailed to mailto:gerardo.ilaria@nayy.mil which is the preferred method of delivery. All questionnaires must be received by the closing date and time of the solicitation.

In order to facilitate the evaluation of Past Performance the Offeror must complete the required information below:

(a) Pursuant to FAR 42.1502, this contract is subject to DoD's Contractor Performance Assessment System (CPARS). CPARS is an automated centralized information system accessible via the Internet that maintains reports of contractor performance for each contract.

CPARS is located at https://www.cpars.gov. Further information on CPARS is available at that web-site.

(b) Under CPARS, the Government will conduct annual evaluations of the contractor's performance. The contractor has fourteen (14) days after the Government's evaluation is completed to comment on the evaluation. Day 15 after the evaluation sent to the contractor the evaluation is available in CPARS with or without the contractor comments. The evaluation is marked “Pending”. Contractor may send comments on days 15-60 if not previously provided. If contractor sends comments, CPARS is updated to reflect contractor comments and “Pending” marking removed. Day 61 evaluation sent to Assessing Official (AO) and contractor may no longer send comments. The opportunity to review and comment is limited to this time period and will not be extended. Failure to review the report at this time will not prevent the Government from using the report.

(c) The contractor may request a meeting to discuss the CPAR. The meeting is to be requested via e-mail to the CPARS Program Manager no later than seven days following receipt of the CPAR. A meeting will then be held during the contractor’s 60-day review period.

(d) The CPARS system requires the Government to assign the contractor a UserID and password in order to view and comment on the evaluation. Provide the name(s) of at least one individual (not more than three) that will be assigned as your Defense Contractor Representative for

CPARS.

Name Phone E-mail Address (optional)

(e) Any changes in designated contractor personnel shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor to notify the contract specialist, AO and the CPARS Focal Point when changes occur.

Volume III -PRICE (Factor 3) (No Page Limit)

REMINDER: It is imperative that Offerors label all cost or price files with Volume III, company name and a unique identifying name which is reflective of the contents of the file.

This volume is the only volume that shall contain price information. There is no limitation on the number of pages or print size for the price proposal. All Attachments submitted under Volume III (Factor 3) shall be clearly identified.

The Price Volume shall include the completed RFP document, with Section B, pricing filled

in. The Price Volume shall include any available pricing information to facilitate the price analysis that will be performed in evaluating the proposal (i.e., price breakdown, catalog pricing, past pricing history, etc.) under each CLIN proposed in Section B.

The price information shall include data regarding the general financial condition of the Offeror and specific plans for financing the proposed contract. The Government has no plans to provide any financial assistance.

The Price Volume shall also include all executed representation certifications.

Volume IV – SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (Factor 4) (No page limit) (For Other Than Small Businesses Only)

There is a mandatory subcontracting goal of 5% for this requirement.

The Offeror shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR clause 52.219-9. This volume applies to other than small businesses only. The plan will be evaluated as either acceptable or unacceptable and will also be evaluated as part of the FAR Part 9.1 Responsibility Determination. The Government will only evaluate the plan submitted by the apparently successful offeror. The evaluation will be performed by the Small Business Specialist and the Contract Specialist. The Government reserves the right pursuant to FAR 9.105-1(c)(3) and 19.705-3 to confer with the offeror on elements of the Small Business Subcontracting Plan in order to determine Responsibility prior to award. These conversations will not constitute discussions as defined in FAR 15.306(c).

The Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be provided concurrent with submission of the Offeror’s proposal and will be incorporated into the task order. The individual plan shall contain the following:

A. Total Proposed Value of Offer B. Total Amount to be Subcontracted C. Breakdown by Business Type ($ and %) D. Large Business/other than Small Business E. Small Business

Small Disadvantaged Business HUBZone Small Business Women-Owned Small Business Veteran-Owned Small Business Service-Disabled Small Business

F. Major types of services/items to be subcontracted to small business and which type of small business.

If the offeror cannot meet the goals, it shall provide an explanation as to why those goals cannot be met. The individual subcontracting plan will be evaluated as part of the FAR 9.1 Responsibility Determination.
