Section L - Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders

1.0 OVERVIEW

This section outlines the government's plan for awarding the contract and provides key notices to potential offerors.

Contract Award Process:

- Single Award: The government intends to award a single firm fixed price (FFP) contract based on the "Lowest Price Technically Acceptable" offer.

- Best Offer First: Your initial proposal should contain your best terms. The Government reserves the right to award a contract based on initial offers and without holding discussions but reserves the right to hold discussions at the Government's discretion; therefore, the Offeror's initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms from a cost/price and technical standpoint. If considered necessary by the Contracting Officer, discussions will be conducted only with those Offerors determined to have a reasonable chance of award.

- Government Rights: The government may reject any or all proposals in accordance with Sections L and M of this document and will analyze the pricing of the submitted price proposal. Failure to address any of the instructions within this solicitation may result in a proposal being excluded from consideration for award.

Eligibility and Teaming:

- Small Business Set-Aside: This opportunity is 100% set aside for small businesses.

- SAM Certification: You must be certified as a small business in the System for Award Management (SAM) under the identified NAICS at the time of solicitation close. Any proposal from a non-certified business will be ineligible and will not be evaluated.

- Teaming Risk: If multiple small businesses partner to meet requirements, not having a clear prime contractor may be considered an inherent technical risk.

Submission and Questions:

- Required Content: You are responsible for submitting a complete proposal that addresses all evaluation factors and includes supporting price data

(refer to Section J attachment "Proposal Checklist" to ensure you have completed all required documentation prior to submission of your proposal).

- Question Deadline: All questions must be submitted within 10 business days from the date the solicitation is released. The cutoff time is 4:30 PM

EST. Questions submitted after this deadline may not be answered. The Government will strive to have all questions answered within three (3) business days following question submission deadline.

2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF OFFERS

This section explains how to submit your offer.

Required Documents for Submission:

You must submit the following three volumes electronically. Failure to do so will render your offer ineligible.

1. Technical Volume

2. Past Performance Volume

Deadlines and Validity:

- Submission Deadline: Any proposal, modification, or revision received after the exact time specified is considered "late" and may be rejected.

- Completeness: Incomplete proposals may be deemed unacceptable.

- Offer Validity: Your proposal must remain valid for 180 calendar days.

- Withdrawal: You may withdraw a proposal by sending a written notice before a contract is awarded.

3.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT

- Names of personnel authorized to negotiate and sign the proposal.

Failure to meet all requirements at the time of proposal submission or provide an acceptable plan to meet the requirements by the start date of the contract performance may remove the Offeror from consideration of award.

4.0 PROPOSAL ORGANIZATION

Factors are listed in descending order of importance. Offerors are advised that failure to submit this volume and all requested information (i.e. "...

shall..." statements) may result in their proposal being excluded from the consideration/evaluation.

VOLUME 1: TECHNICAL

DO NOT PROVIDE PRICING INFORMATION IN THE TECHNICAL VOLUME.

General statements, that the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements, that standard procedures will be used, that well-known techniques will be used, or that paraphrases the solicitation's requirements in whole or in part, will not constitute compliance with the foregoing requirements concerning the content of the technical proposal.

NON-PRICE EVALUATION FACTOR 1: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY (Not to Exceed 20 pages)

Inspection Plan and Shop Traveler (not to exceed eighteen (18) pages):

The Offerors shall provide drafts of the Inspection Plans and Inspection Shop Travelers they intend to use to ensure compliance with the drawing, specification, and SOW. The Inspection Plans and Inspection Shop Travelers shall correctly identify the following for each test or inspection operation to be performed:

- All dimensions, tolerances, drawing notes, and specification requirements.

- Instruments to be used to complete tests, and suitable instrument resolution (where applicable).

Offerors may propose staggered deliveries should they choose, but such information shall be clearly indicated in their delivery schedule to include quantity to be shipped per shipment.

VOLUME 2: PAST PERFORMANCE (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. In the evaluation of an Offeror's past performance, the Government reserves the right to use relevant performance within the past five years. In accordance with FAR 9.104-6, the performance and integrity information available in the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), (available at https://www.cpars.gov), including FAPIIS information from the System for Award Management (SAM) Exclusions and the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) will be considered during the evaluation of an Offeror's past performance.

Relevant past performance is defined as experience that is of the same or similar scope (i.e., for the same or similar items), of the same or similar magnitude, and of the same or similar complexity to that which is described in the solicitation.

Offerors are directed to submit one of, or both of, the following as applicable:

- for a particular record of performance, the Offeror shall submit one (1) Past Performance QuestionnaireIf there is not a CPARS record (attachment in Section J) to each of its customer POCs identified in the Recent and Relevant Past Performance References. Instructions for completing this form are contained on the form itself.

- , the Offeror shall provide up to three references listed on the past performance matrix (attachment in Section J) forIf there is a CPARS record federal government contracts for supplies performed in the last three years from the date of issuance of the solicitation that are the same or similar to those required under this procurement. If the Offeror does not have any Federal Government contracts, then the Offeror shall list state, local, or commercial contracts, in that order.

Failure to submit either of the identified past performance attachments shall be considered certification that the contractor has no record of relevant and meaningful past performance for the Government to evaluate. In that case, the Offeror shall affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance and explain why it has no relevant past performance or cannot provide any Questionnaires and/or Matrices. Failure to provide the required information or to provide an explanation may result in the removal of the Offeror from consideration for award.
