Offerors shall provide, in detail, a technical approach that demonstrates a complete understanding of and the capability to fully implement and execute all requirements of the solicitation and performance work statement (PWS). The offeror’s response shall address each of the following sub-factors:

Sub-factor 1 – Staffing Approach The offeror shall provide a staffing approach that demonstrates the offeror’s understanding of the personnel requirements identified in the PWS as well as the ability to provide the personnel in order to fulfill the tasks described in the PWS. The offeror’s staffing approach shall demonstrate methodology for ensuring personnel with the required experience, background, and qualifications are provided and include the approach to ensure qualifications remain current for all contractor personnel engaged in the effort. The staffing approach shall include a brief synopsis of the professional qualification(s)/background(s) of those individuals to be dedicated to this contract effort and must address the offeror’s ability to provide personnel with all qualifications described in PWS paragraphs 5, 6, and 7 and meet the security clearance requirements in PWS paragraph 8. The staffing approach shall provide historical data to substantiate achievements in past recruiting efforts, sustained retention of employees, and low attrition rates. The offeror’s staffing approach shall include a timeline with key events identified to fully staff the task with cleared and qualified personnel in order to begin full performance on the start date.

The Factor 2 technical section is limited to thirty pages.

Factor 3 – Past Performance: This section shall address the past performance factor and include all information required for proposal evaluation. This section shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the proposal.

The offeror shall demonstrate recent and relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no recent and relevant past performance. Recent past performance is performance that has taken place within the past five years prior to the solicitation closing date. Relevant past performance is performance under contracts or efforts within the stated period that is the same as or similar to, the scope and magnitude of the work described by this solicitation. In addition, performance data will only be assessed for those references demonstrating at least one year of completed performance within the stated recency period prior to the closing date of this solicitation.

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror shall identify up to three of its most relevant contracts or efforts within the past five years and provide any other information the offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Offerors should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the solicitation.

For purposes of this solicitation, a contract is defined as a single contract or a single task order placed under an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply Schedule (FSS). As one of its references of past performance, the offeror may submit a combination of up to three task orders issued from a single IDIQ or FSS contract, or a BPA.

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

If proposed subcontractor past performance is provided as part of the three contracts or efforts, the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement must be stated. The offeror’s proposal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A reference that does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated.

If the prime offeror or intended subcontractor/partner submits a past performance example in which it served as a subcontractor, the prime/subcontractor/partner shall detail clearly the work that it performed and the magnitude (dollar value) of that subcontracted work only. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the subcontractor effort will not be evaluated.

Subcontractor performance (either the offeror’s own subcontractor experience or proposed subcontractor’s experience) of major or critical aspects of this requirement will be considered as highly as prime contractor past performance information for the offeror.

If any of the referenced contracts were performed by an affiliate of the offeror, clearly explain the relationship between the offeror and the affiliate. Describe any resources shared by the offeror and its affiliate.

The offeror shall complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. For additional information regarding a particular reference beyond that which will fit on the form, the offeror may continue onto another sheet of paper. The forms and any continuation sheet(s) for submitted references cannot exceed twelve pages.

In addition to the information requested above, offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the attached “Past Performance Report Form” and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Joseph Mulherin at joseph.mulherin@navy.mil and Aaron Martin at aaron.b.martin2@navy.mil by the

CLOSING DATE AND TIME OF THIS SOLICITATION.

The Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation, to contact references for verification or additional information, to contact references other than those provided by the offeror, and to obtain information from other data sources.

The past performance section is limited to twelve pages.

Factor 4 – Price Proposal

This volume shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation. The price proposal shall include all supporting data to clearly show how the fully-burdened labor prices were developed and explain basis for any annual escalation applied. The pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

A complete and signed Standard Form 1449, “Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items” and executed copy of amendments, if applicable.

Unless completed in the System for Award Management, the offeror shall complete the representations and certifications contained in the solicitation. If the offeror has completed all of the representations and certifications required by this solicitation in the System for Award Management, then the offeror need not submit the hardcopy representations and certifications.

For the purpose of preparing a price proposal, the offeror shall assume that the period of performance consists of a five-year ordering period, as well as the potential usage of FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Offerors shall use the periods established in the Schedule.

This volume shall also include a completed Services Price Worksheet (an attachment to this solicitation), submitted in accordance with the following instructions.

o Separate price information shall be submitted for each year of service, as well as a total summary for the five-year ordering period, as shown in the Services Price Worksheet. Also include pricing for the potential usage of FAR clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. The price for the services shown in this spreadsheet shall include all fully burdened labor required to provide services. The firm-fixed price annual rates proposed in the pricing spreadsheet will be incorporated into the resultant contract.

Travel is anticipated. The Government has included a not-to-exceed travel amount in the Services Price Worksheet for each performance period. Offerors shall propose the Government-provided not-to-exceed travel amounts in their price proposals and the Services Price Worksheet, plus any applicable burdens.

Offerors shall apply any applicable General and Administrative (G&A) and/or Overhead (OH) rates that may be applicable in accordance with FAR Part 31 and the offeror’s accounting system. Only G&A and/or OH indirect costs are allowable if an offeror’s accounting system automatically applies them. No profit and/or fee are allowed. If no G&A and/or OH are proposed, the Government will determine that the offeror does not intend to apply these costs to travel during performance.

The price section is not page-limited, but is strictly limited to the requested information and supporting documentation only. No price information shall be contained in any other part of the proposal.

(End of FAR provision 52.212-1 Addendum)
