In addition to instructions to quoters contained elsewhere in this solicitation, the following instructions are provided:

I. GENERAL

Responses to the solicitation must be submitted electronically via email to Mark Damanskis at 'mark.damanskis@navy.mil' on or before the closing date and time cited on this solicitation cover page.

Responses that do not comply exactly with these requirements will be rejected. Timeliness rules for submission of responses must also comply with those instructions. Responses that do not will be considered late and will not be considered for award. Quotes that do not comply may be considered unacceptable and may render the quote ineligible for award.

In the event that email is not operational or is experiencing difficulties, the contractor shall immediately notify Mark Damanskis (Contract Specialist) via telephone prior to the closing time of the solicitation as manual submission of written quotes via facsimile may be allowed in these circumstances. Absent technical difficulties with the portal, however, all quoters' price information shall be submitted electronically via email by the time and date of closing of the solicitation. Quotes that do not comply may be considered unacceptable and may render the quote ineligible for award.

Quoters shall submit their quotes in two separate volumes as follows:

In addition, quotes consist of and shall include the following items as part of Volume II:

If the quoter has completed all of the representations and certifications required by this solicitation in ORCA in accordance with FAR 52.204-8 and DFARS 252.204-7007 ALT A, then the quoter need not submit the hardcopy Representations and Certifications.

The completion and submission of the above items will constitute a quote and will be considered the quoter’s unconditional assent to the terms and conditions of this solicitation and any attachments and/or exhibits hereto. Alternate quotes are not authorized. An objection to any of the terms and conditions of the solicitation will constitute a deficiency (see FAR 15.001) which will make the quote unacceptable.

Volume I Non-Price/Cost Quote

This volume shall address the following: Performance Approach, Past Performance forms, and include all information required for quote evaluation.

This volume of the quote shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the quote.

Each page of each copy should include the following legend:

Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

This volume shall include the completed solicitation documents and all prices quoted should be supported by back-up documentation demonstrating how the price was developed.

Source Selection Information - See FAR 2.101 and 3.104

IMPORTANT NOTES:

(2) In the event any person who is not a bona fide employee of the quoter participated in the creation, formulation, or writing of any portion of the quote, a certificate to this effect shall be included in the quote which shall be signed by an officer of the quoter. Such certificate shall identify the name of the person who is not a bona fide employee, that person’s employment capacity, the name of the person’s firm, the relationship of that firm to the quoter, and the portion of the quote in which the person participated.

II. REQUIREMENTS FOR QUOTE CONTENT

(1) Any quoter who will be submitting CLASSIFIED data in its non-price quote shall first notify the Contracting Officer by contacting the point of contact in the solicitation. CLASSIFIED data that is forwarded as part of a quoter’s quote shall be housed in its own submission separate from the unclassified portion.

(2) Introduction and Purpose - This section specifies the format that quoters should use in quotes submitted in response to this solicitation. The intent is not to restrict the quoters in the manner in which they will perform their work but rather to ensure a certain degree of uniformity in the format of the quotes for evaluation purposes.

(3) Each volume should contain the following items in addition to the other information required by this solicitation:

Cover:

The cover should indicate the following:

Title of the quote Volume Number (I or II) Solicitation number Name and address of quoter CAGE Code & DUNS Number

Table of Contents: (This should provide detail sufficient to allow for the important elements to be easily located.)

(4) Requirements for Style: Each quoter shall submit a quote that clearly and concisely sets forth the contractor’s response to the requirements of the solicitation. Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective quote are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the quoter’s lack of cost consciousness. Elaborate artwork, expensive paper or bindings, and expensive visual or other presentation aids are neither necessary nor desired. The quote shall contain all the pertinent information in sufficient detail in the one area of the quote where it contributes most critically to the discussion. When necessary, the quoter shall refer to the initial discussion and identify its location within its quote.

(5) Page Limitations

Volume I, “Non-Price Quote” consists of two sections each having their own page limitations and requirements:

Section One: “Performance Approach”, is limited to a maximum of 8 pages in length inclusive of any charts, diagrams, and/or other graphics. Each “page” is defined as one sheet, 8 ½ “ x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using a font with a point size of 12 or greater (e.g., "Times New Roman" style with 12 point font). Font size 10 of the aforementioned style is acceptable for imbedded tables, charts, and diagrams only. Lines shall, at a minimum, be single-spaced. Pages shall be consecutively numbered. Multiple pages, double pages, two-sided pages, or foldouts will count as an equivalent number of 8 ½" x 11" pages. The cover sheet, table of contents (not to exceed one page per volume), tabs, and dividers will not count toward the page limit. Pages submitted in excess of the page limitations described above will not be evaluated.

Section Two: “Past Performance Information Forms”, is limited to a maximum of 9 pages in length. The one exception to the font size requirement shown above is that the "past performance information forms" may be completed with a point size of 10 or greater. Pages submitted in excess of the page limitations described above will not be evaluated.

Volume II, “Price Quote,” is not page limited.

III. QUOTE CONTENT

(1) Volume I – Non-Price Quote

The non-price evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance:

· Performance Approach

· Past Performance

Performance Approach is more important than Past Performance.

(a) Performance Approach

The quoter shall provide in detail an performance approach that will successfully accomplish the requirements of the solicitation, including the PWS. The quoter should describe any risks associated with the solicitation, including the PWS and any risks associated with implementation of the quoter’s performance approach; describe any techniques and actions to mitigate such risks; and explain whether the techniques and actions identified for risk mitigation have been successfully used by the quoter. The quoter shall address how they propose to meet the technical requirements of the PWS, specifically they shall address the following at a minimum:

- Description of how each Executive Coaching Engagement (ECE) will be conducted.

- Description of how portions of the ECE face-to-face vs telephone (similar remote means) will be conducted.

- Description of the executive coaching implementation plan to include:

- Number of senior executive coaches,

- Total number with clearances (SECRET LEVEL)

- Proximity to the Flag Officers located in various CONUS and OCONUS regions listed in PWS

(b) Past Performance

The quoter shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the past five years that is the same as, or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the quoter shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five (5) years, and provide any other information the quoter considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Quoters should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation. If subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the subcontractor past performance will be given weight relative to the scope and magnitude of the aspects of the work under the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. Therefore, the quoter ‘s quotation should detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is quoted to perform.

The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow quoters who may not have the entire scope and magnitude of the requirement under one individual contract to still be considered acceptable if past performance with the full scope and magnitude of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

The quoter should complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. The forms make up the Volume II page limit described above. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the quoter may continue onto another sheet of paper. Such continuation sheet(s) for submitted references will count toward the Volume II page limit.

The quoter should address its past performance in complying with requirements of the clauses at FAR 52.219-8, "Utilization of Small Business Concerns"

(2) Volume II– Price Quote

Volume II shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting backup documentation demonstrating how the price was developed. The price quote shall support Volume I. All costs included in developing the price should be provided in the breakdown such that the total amount is substantiated by the price breakdown.

(a) Separate pricing information shall be submitted for each time period specified in the pricing pages of the solicitation.

(b) Supporting data should including labor rates and hours, burden rates, material lists and costs, travel charges, and “other direct costs” used in developing the price/cost breakdown shall be furnished.

(c) The following amounts will be utilized by the Government for evaluation purposes only in determining the total evaluated cost of a quote.

(i) Travel estimated above is for travel and subsistence associated with performance under the contract which will be reimbursed in accordance with the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR).

(End of provision)

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

0. EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS (JAN 1999)

52.212-2 has been amended and is as follows:

The Government intends to award a purchase order resulting from this solicitation to the responsible quoter whose quote represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with the factors in the solicitation. Quotes shall be in the form prescribed by, and shall contain a response to each of the areas identified in the “Addendum to 52.212-1”. The evaluation of quotes will consider non-price (see below) more important than price, The non-price evaluation factors are listed in descending order of importance:

Performance Approach is more important than Past Performance.

A written notice of award or acceptance of a quote, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful quoter within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party. Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept a quote (or part of a quote), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources including sources outside of the Government. Quoters lacking relevant past performance history will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance. However, a quote with no relevant past performance history, while not rated favorably or unfavorably for past performance, may not represent the most advantageous quote to the Government and thus, may be an unsuccessful quote when compared to the quotes of other quoters. The quoter should provide the information requested above for past performance evaluation, or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance. If a quoter fails to provide any past performance information which is similar in scope and magnitude to that which is detailed in the RFQ or fails to affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant directly related or similar past performance, the quote may not be awardable. The Government will consider the quality of quoter’s past performance. This consideration is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the quoter’s past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the relative capability of the quoter and other competitors to successfully meet the requirements of the RFQ. In determining the rating for the past performance evaluation factor, the Government will give greater consideration to the contracts which the Government feels are most relevant to the RFQ.

The Government reserves the right to award to other than the lowest priced quote. All non-price factors must be rated Acceptable or better in order to be eligible for award.

The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a purchase order without communications with quoters. Therefore, the quoter’s initial quote should contain the quoter's best terms from a price and non-price standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct communications/clarifications if later it is determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

Price will be evaluated on the basis of price analysis. The Contracting Officer reserves the right to determine that a quoter’s overall firm fixed price quote represents an unacceptable level of risk, based on the information submitted by the quoter. This includes the right to downgrade the overall quote due to prices that are considered to be too low to support successful performance and compliance with all contract requirements.

For the purpose of preparing a price quote, the quoter shall assume that the base period of performance shall begin on, before, or after 28 April 2018 through 27 April 2019 (date is subject to change.) Option periods are as follows:
