2. REQUIREMENTS FOR PROPOSAL CONTENT:

Introduction and Purpose: This section specifies the format that offerors shall use in this Request for Proposal (RFP). The intent is not to restrict offerors in the manner in which they will perform their work but rather to ensure a certain degree of uniformity in the format of the responses for evaluation purposes.

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

The cover page should indicate the following:

Title of the proposal

Volume Number (I or II)

Proposal Category (Factor)

Request for Proposal (RFP) Number

Name and address of offeror, Cage Code, DUNS and applicable Tax I.D. Number

(TIN) and the offerors designated Point of Contact’s (POC) email address

Volume II – Price Proposal

This volume shall address Factor III – Price Proposal and shall include the completed solicitation documents and a complete and detailed price/cost breakdown with all supporting information.

Table of Contents: The table of contents should provide sufficient detail as to allow the important elements to be easily located.

(1) Requirements for Style: Each offeror shall submit a proposal that clearly and concisely describes and defines the contractor’s response to the requirements contained in the RFP.

Unnecessary elaboration or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired and may be construed as an indication of the offeror’s lack of understanding of cost consciousness. Elaborate art work and expensive visual or other presentation aids are neither necessary nor desired. The proposal shall contain all the pertinent information in sufficient detail in the one area of the proposal where it contributes most critically to the discussion of the same information. When necessary, the offeror shall refer to the initial discussion and identify its location within the submitted proposal.

(2) Proposal Page Limitations:

The following page limitations are established:

Volume Title Required Format Page Limit*

Volume I: Factor I – Technical Approach Microsoft Office Word 15 Pages total

Volume I: Factor II – Past Performance Microsoft Office Word 12 Pages

Volume II: Factor III – Price Microsoft Excel No Limit

All submission and attachments shall be in Microsoft Office Word. Submissions sent in any other format other than Microsoft Word will not be evaluated and will be considered non-responsive. Submissions are page limited to the maximum number of pages as defined in the table. These page limitations are inclusive of the executive summary and any charts, diagrams, and/or other graphics. Graphics (including tables) in the proposal may use an alternative font with 8 point size type or larger. Each “page” is defined as one sheet, 8 ½ “ x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using Times New Roman font with a point size of 12 or greater

(e.g., "Times New Roman" style with 12 point font). Lines shall, at a minimum, be selected as single-spaced in Microsoft Word with Microsoft Word Normal character spacing. Pages shall be consecutively numbered. The offeror is permitted to submit no more than one page for each of the following, which will not be included in the page count: a cover sheet, list of tables, list of figures, list of acronyms, compliance matrix, and table of contents.

Pages submitted in excess of the page limitations described above will not be evaluated.

The Price Proposal is not page limited; however, the Price Proposal is to be strictly limited to price information and completed solicitation documents as described in the General Section at the beginning of this text.

* Page limits represent the maximum pages the Government will evaluate and are not construed as de facto standards for the amount of material expected in the proposal.

*Cross-Referencing: The proposal volumes shall be written on a stand-alone basis so that its contents may be evaluated without cross-referencing to another volume. Information required for proposal evaluation, which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal.

Volume I Non-Price Proposal

This volume shall address the Non-Price factors such as technical approach and past performance and include all information required for proposal evaluation. This volume of the proposal shall exclude any reference to the price aspects of the proposal.

The Non-price evaluation factors are listed below.

Factor I :Technical Approach

The offeror shall provide in detail a Technical Approach that will successfully accomplish the requirements of the solicitation, including the PWS. The approach should contain a narrative explaining the program management approach, techniques, or procedures to be utilized to accomplish the basic functions of planning, organizing, and controlling each food service program requirement for: serving and replenishing of food, maintaining fueling stations, management and administration, catering of special events, and cleaning and sanitation of equipment. The offeror should also describe any risks associated with the solicitation, including the PWS and any risks associated with implementation of the offeror's management 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 offeror. The offeror should provide any other information it considers relevant to the solicitation.

Factor II: Past Performance

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror 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 offeror considers relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. Those contracts must also reflect one year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. Offerors shall 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 ID/IQ contract, a Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA), or a Federal Supply

Schedule. Offerors shall not submit the IDIQ contract, FSS contract, or BPA itself as a reference.

Offerors may submit a combination of no more than three (3) delivery orders (DOs), task orders

(TOs), technical direction letters (TDLs), and/or technical area tasks (TATs) placed under an

ID/IQ or BPA as one of the three examples of past performance. Such a combination must also meet the requirements stated above: each individual example in the combination must have been performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date and demonstrate at least one (1) year of completed performance by the closing date of the solicitation. If a combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs are used as a past performance example, the offeror shall state the specific experience claimed, period of performance, and dollar value of each. A Past

Performance example that does not provide the level of detail required may not be evaluated. No more than one combination of DOs, TOs, TDLs and or TATs is permitted in the past performance submittal. One (1) year of completed performance is defined as twelve (12) consecutive months of performance. References with less than twelve (12) consecutive months of service will not be considered.

If subcontractor experience is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant contracts or efforts, the subcontractor experience 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 offeror’s proposal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. The past performance of subcontractors who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as a prime contractor’s past performance.

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

Failure of offerors to provide the required information and level of specificity may result in the contract reference not being evaluated. With respect to joint ventures, the procuring activity will consider work done individually by each member of the joint venture as well as any work done by the joint venture itself previously. Joint venture references must meet the temporal requirements described in ADDENDUM TO FAR PROVISION 52.212-1 (within five years and a year of completed performance. Additionally, if a joint venture member submits a past performance reference, the joint venture member shall detail clearly the work that it performed in that effort and the magnitude (dollar value) of that work. A reference that does not differentiate between the overall contract effort and the joint venture member’s effort for that reference may not be evaluated. The past performance of a joint venture member who will be performing major or critical aspects of the solicitation will be considered as highly as the joint venture’s past performance.]

The offeror should complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation. The forms will count toward the

Volume I page limit previously described.

In addition to the information requested above, offerors shall contact their past performance references and request that each reference complete the Past Performance Report Form attached to the solicitation and e-mail the completed survey form directly to BOTH the contract specialist, Arianna Williams, at arianna.m.williams2.civ@us.navy.mil and the contracting officer, Caitlin

King, at caitlin.d.king2.civ@us.navy.mil by the DUE DATE OF THIS SOLICITATION. The

Government reserves the right to consider past performance report forms received after the due date of the solicitation and to contact references for verification or additional information.

Volume II – Factor III - Price Proposal

The Price Proposal shall include the completed solicitation documents. The price Proposal shall include all elements of price and such other price information considered appropriate to support the Proposal. The pricing information shall be completed in accordance with the following:

(a) SF1449 Section “Schedule of Supplies/Services” completed by the offeror.
