QUESTIONS & RESPONSES

1. Question: I am looking to confirm if there is an incumbent, or if this is a new requirement? If there is an incumbent, can you please provide the contractor name and contract number?

Response: This is a follow-on requirement currently being satisfied under Firm Fixed Price Task Order N0018918F3028 under Seaport-e contract N00178-11-D-6433 awarded to HII Fleet Support Group, LLC.

2. Question: SOW Section 4.4 states: Travel expenses include airfare, per diem, rental car, local travel, and miscellaneous expenses as authorized by the JTR. Costs for transportation may be based upon mileage rates, actual costs incurred, or a combination thereof, provided the method used results in a reasonable charge. Further SOW Section 4.4.3 states: 3 Travel costs will be considered reasonable and allowable only to the extent that they do not exceed daily, the maximum per diem rates in effect at the time of the travel.

The Joint Travel Regulations (JTR), while not applicable to contractors shall provide the basis for the determination as to reasonable and allowable. The verbiage in these SOW sections as well as reporting requirements in SOW Section 7.17.2 would indicate that travel CLINS 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002 and 4002 would be cost reimbursable not FFP as the current CLINS are labeled. Can the Government confirm that CLINS 0002,1002,2002,3002 and 4002 are cost reimbursable?

Response: CLINS 0002,1002,2002,3002 and 4002 are cost reimbursable and will be labeled as such.

3. Question: SOW Section 7.17 states the contractor will deliver: “Reports shall be provided in Excel

Spreadsheet for maintenance history, Material purchased using ODC funds”. This indicates that CLINS 0003,1003,2003,3003 and 4003 would be cost reimbursable CLINS. Can the Government confirm that CLINS 0003,1003,2003,3003 and 4003 are cost reimbursable?

Response: CLINS 0003,1003,2003,3003 and 4003 are cost reimbursable and will be labeled as such.

4. Question: page 19, section 7.11.1 states “Overtime: Overtime may be required to perform tasks outlined within Paragraphs 4.0 through 4.5 of this PWS.” However, the estimated overtime requirements (OT hours) are not provided. Per the previous Solicitation N00189-18-R-3021 for the current contract, the estimated level of effort for regular and overtime hours were provided in the Pricing Spreadsheet (Attachment 4-Pricing Spreadsheet).

Will the Government please provide the estimated overtime hours required to support tasks outlined in this solicitation to allow for pricing consistency amongst all Offerors?

Response: It is estimated that every labor category will work 240 hours of overtime per coast per year except the logisticians. They are estimated at 0 hours.

5. Question: Paragraph 4.6 Quality Management (page 8), requires the contractor to provide documentation of its Quality Management System (QMS) (The contractor shall establish, document, implement, and maintain a fully functional Quality Management System in accordance with NAVSEA Standard Item 009- 04). RFP Section I. GENERAL (page 102), limits Factor III - Technical Approach to 30 pages.

Will the government accept QMS documentation as an appendix to Factor III so it doesn’t affect Technical Approach page count?

Response: The PWS (section 4.6) has been revised to require this documentation to be provided to the COR within ten (10) days after contract award.

6. Question: Background: “Non-Price” Proposal Volume I is referenced throughout the Evaluation Factors (pages 48-49) and again in Section I, (bottom of page 102). However, page 101 designates Volume I as “Technical Proposal.”

For compliance, should offeror use “Non-Price Proposal” or “Technical Proposal” as the title for Volume I?

Response: Volume I can be referred to as Non-Price Proposal. Verbiage revised to be consistent.

7. Question: In reference to Addendum 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items, I. General (2): Can the Government please clarify whether the cover page and table of contents are excluded from the overall page count?

Response: Additional instructions have been added to “Proposal Page Limitations” in the Addendum to 52.212-1.

8. Question: In reference to Addendum 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items, I. General

(4): Will the Government allow an acronym list? If so, respectfully request that it is excluded from the page count.

Response: Page counts have been increased across all factors.

9. Question: We noticed that the status on this opportunity in SAM was changed on Saturday, 17 Jun to “Presolicitation.” Please confirm that this solicitation is still actively seeking bidders with a due-date of 7 Jun. Thank you.

Response: 17 June is the Presolicitation’s Inactive date (15 days after response date). The Solicitation’s offers due date is still showing as, “Original Date Offers Due: Jul 07, 2023 10:00 am

EDT.”

The following have been modified:

***The Technical submission is limited to 32 pages***

Factor IV – Past Performance

To demonstrate its past performance, the offeror shall identify up to three (3) of its most relevant contracts performed within five (5) years of the solicitation issuance date. 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 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.

If a proposed subcontractor’s past performance is provided as part of the three (3) of its most relevant 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 submittal shall also detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform may 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/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.

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.

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 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 (1) individual contract 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.

The offeror shall complete a “Past Performance Information Form” for each reference submitted. The form is an attachment to the solicitation.

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 and e-mail the completed survey form directly to Sherell Brown at sherell.g.brown.civ@us.navy.mil and Morgan Olszak at morgan.e.olszak.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.

***The Past Performance submission is limited to 14 pages.***

Volume II – Factor V – Price:

In addition to the items required in the General Section above, Volume II shall include the following:

- Completed solicitation documents to include signed copies of all amendments, if applicable.

- Unless completed in SAM, “Representations, Certifications and Other Statements of Offerors” completed by the offeror.

- Complete and detailed price breakdown with all supporting documentation.

Offerors shall insert the Government estimated travel and material plug numbers provided in the chart below in their proposed price, in addition to any applicable General and Administrative (G&A) and/or Overhead (OH) rate in accordance with FAR Part 31 in their accounting system. Only G&A and/or OH indirect costs are allowable if an offeror’s accounting system automatically applies it, no profit or fee is allowed.

Period of Performance Travel Material Base Year $300,000.00 $40,000.00 Option 1 $300,000.00 $40,000.00 Option 2 $300,000.00 $40,000.00 Option 3 $300,000.00 $40,000.00 Option 4 $300,000.00 $40,000.00

FAR 52.217-8 $150,000.00 $20,000.00

NOTE: If no G&A and/or OH are proposed, it will be determined that the offeror does not intend to apply any applicable indirect cost to any travel required.

All price and price supporting information shall be contained in the price proposal. No price information shall be included in any other Volume including cover letters. The offeror is responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to fully evaluate its price proposal.

***The price submission is not page limited, but is strictly limited to price information.***

Volume III – Small Business Subcontracting Plan:

Small Business Subcontracting Plan (Other than Small Businesses ONLY; Not an Evaluation Factor)

Large business offerors SHALL also submit a Subcontracting Plan in accordance with FAR 19.704, Subcontracting Plan Requirements. Offerors are permitted to submit a master subcontracting plan so long as it is created in accordance with FAR 19.701 and FAR 19.704(b). Subcontracting Plans are not required from small business offerors.

It is the goal of this solicitation that prime contractors subcontract with small businesses to the maximum extent practicable. For other-than-small (large) prime contractors, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan goals shall be expressed in terms of whole dollars and percentages based on total planned subcontracting dollars. Of the total planned subcontracting dollars, the Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall include goals for Small Businesses, Small Disadvantaged Businesses, Woman-Owned Small Businesses, HubZone Small Businesses, Veteran Owned Small Businesses and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The Government will consider prior achievement of small business subcontracting plan goals as well as the proposed dollar values and percentages related to this solicitation. Small businesses are not required to submit a subcontracting plan, but are required to submit a small business participation plan.

NOTE: The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code applicable to the requirements contained within this solicitation is 811310. Therefore, companies proposing under this solicitation as a small business concern must have had an average annual receipt over their three (3) previous fiscal years that was less than $12,500,000.

The completion and submission of the above items will constitute an offer (proposal) and will indicate the offeror’s unconditional assent to the terms and conditions of this RFP and any attachments hereto. Alternate proposals are not authorized. Objections to any terms and conditions of the RFP will constitute a deficiency (see FAR 15.001), which may make the offer unacceptable. An offeror may correct a deficiency only through discussions (see FAR 15.306(d) and 15.307).

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

MARITIME EXPEDITIONARY SECURITY FORCE (MESF)

EXPEDITIONARY EQUIPMENT READINESS SUPPORT CONTRACT

1.0 Background

The Chief of Naval Operations established the Navy Expeditionary Combat Command (NECC) on 1 October 2005.

NECC formally stood up on 13 January 2006, as a Functional Commander for shore-based expeditionary type forces within the Navy. NECC serves as the single functional command for the Navy’s expeditionary forces and as central management for the readiness, resources, staffing, training and equipping of those forces. They consolidate, align and integrate diverse expeditionary practices, procedures, requirements and logistics in the battle space. As a command element and force provider for integrated maritime expeditionary missions, to include waterborne and shore anti-terrorism, force protection, theatre security cooperation and engagement and humanitarian assistance/disaster relief contingencies, upon request, NECC also supplements Coast Guard homeland security requirements while training and equipping forces to support mission requirements.

To accomplish this mission, NECC requires a dedicated and professional security force capable of meeting today’s requirements. It must be flexible enough to adapt to new missions in support of Major Combat Operations (MCO), Maritime Security Operations (MSO), and Maritime Homeland Security (MHS)/Maritime Homeland Defense

(MHD).

Maritime Expeditionary Security Force (MESF) which is comprised of two Group Commanders, MESG-ONE and MESG-TWO, is a major cornerstone of NECC’s efforts to field a force capable of executing all maritime security operations in the inland, coastal and near-shore environments.

MESG-1 is located in Imperial Beach, California. This is the headquarters for the unit and where some of the Expeditionary Equipment Readiness support is conducted.

MESG-2 is located on the Joint Expeditionary Base Little Creek (JEBLC) Virginia Beach, Virginia. This is the headquarters for the unit and where some of the Expeditionary Equipment Readiness support is conducted.
