IV. PROPOSAL CONTENT

(A) MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Government will consider how well each offeror understands the requirements and how each offeror will approach the accomplishment of the effort as evidenced by the proposed Management Plan. The Management Plan shall address Staffing/Schedule and Organization/Management.

1. STAFFING/SCHEDULE

The Management Plan shall address the offeror's understanding of the requirements of the Statement of Work (SOW). The proposal must describe how the offeror plans to provide 100% of the required staffing (in terms of labor type and quantity) for the functional groups of contractor labor services described in the SOW. The offeror must also demonstrate the capability to perform a minimum of 50% of the contract work with its own personnel. The proposal shall describe how the offeror will recruit and train its personnel, including subcontracted labor.

The Management Plan shall demonstrate how the offeror plans to meet the schedule (in terms of placement of contractor personnel at the required locations in the required time frames specified in the task orders). The offeror must address its plan to meet task order schedules for all locations within the geographic area(s) included in its price proposal.

Contractors must demonstrate their ability to obtain ‘up to’ a Secret clearance level should a Secret clearance be required at the task order level.

2. ORGANIZATION/MANAGEMENT

The Management Plan shall address the offeror’s proposed organizational structure and management of the contract in order to ensure successful performance of the contract. This include lines of responsibility, authority (supervisory chain), and communication through which the work will be performed. The offeror must also address what role, if any, any proposed subcontractors will play, their relationship with the prime contractor, and how their work will be managed.

The Management Plan must describe the method by which employees are tasked with work (within the scope of the task order); the method by which the offeror plans to communicate with contractor and subcontractor employees on issues such as leave and time-keeping; and the manner in which contractor and subcontractor employees will interface with both the contractor’s corporate structure and with Government personnel.

The Management Plan shall address the unique challenges of managing a contract in remote locations--Hawaii and Guam-- in terms of (1) the contractor’s ability to respond to questions and concerns from the Government in a timely manner and during normal business hours and (2) the contractor’s ability to effectively manage its workforce.

(B) PAST PERFORMANCE

1. The Government will evaluate each offeror's past performance based upon the relevant references submitted under the Past Performance factor. Offerors shall provide Contractor Performance Data Sheets on up to three (3) of the firm’s most recently completed federal government, state government, municipal government, or commercial contracts (not to exceed three (3) years from closing date of solicitation). Offerors who present similar contracts should provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the relevance of the contracts or efforts to the requirements of the present solicitation. Offerors may submit performance data regarding current contract performance as long as a minimum of one year of performance has been completed as of the closing date of this solicitation.

2. The offeror may also submit relevant contracts performed by any subcontractors who will perform under this contract. In such a case, the offeror must also clearly indicate the percentage of work that each of the proposed subcontractors will perform under the GBS contract. Up to three (3) data sheets can be provided for each subcontractor.

3. If the offeror possesses no relevant past performance, it must affirmatively state this fact in the Past Performance Volume. Failure to submit the completed Contractor Performance Data Sheets will be considered certification that the offeror has no past performance for relevant services for the Government to evaluate. The page limit of 15 pages for Past Performance shall not apply to the completed Contractor Performance Data Sheets.

4. For each contract described on a Contractor Performance Data Sheet, a corresponding Customer Input Sheet/Questionnaire shall be completed by a representative of the Government agency and/or commercial firm for whom the work was performed. The Government or commercial customer MUST forward the completed Customer Input Sheet/Questionnaire to the Contracting Officer. It shall be the offeror’s responsibility to ensure receipt by the Contracting Officer of these completed Sheets/Questionnaires not later than the closing of the solicitation. For contractor’s with Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) records, it is acceptable to submit a copy of the most recent CPARS evaluation in lieu of the Customer Input Sheet/Questionnaire. The page limit of 15 pages for Past Performance shall not apply to the completed Customer Input Sheet/Questionnaires and/or CPARS printouts.

5. The Contractor Performance Data Sheet requires information in the following areas:

(c) Customer Satisfaction – contractor concern for the interests of customers; satisfaction of the end users with the contractor provided services; number and severity of problems and the effectiveness of corrective actions taken.

(d) Price Control - accuracy in forecasting contract costs; ability to meet forecasted costs and perform within contract costs; ability to alert Government of unforeseen costs before they occur; and sufficiency and timeliness of cost reporting.

Offerors are encouraged to provide information on prior contracts that are highly relevant to the scope, magnitude and complexity of the GBS acquisition.

(C) PRICE PROPOSAL

All offerors shall prepare and submit a pricing Worksheet for each CLIN listed in Section B. All labor categories in the worksheets MUST be priced out. Failure to provide a price/rate for any labor category will render the proposal incomplete and not considered for award. Enter the total amounts for each worksheet to its applicable CLIN. For example, Attachment 1, Base Labor Worksheet Total Amount is to be entered for CLIN 0001. See Attachment 1.

All offerors shall provide data that demonstrates how the fully burdened labor rates are developed. This information can be provided in contractor's format (it is understood that each contractor may have a different type of costing/pricing tool used for developing the rates). All offeror’s shall provide their All indirect rates used to develop the rates for the contract proposal will be capped and be used in subsequent task order proposals for the first year of the contract.

All offerors shall include their CAGE Code, DUNS Number and Taxpayer Identification Number.

FOR PURPOSES OF COST PROPOSAL PREPARATION ONLY, THE FOLLOWING WAGE DETERMINATION SHALL BE USED FOR ALL SCA APPLICABLE LABOR CATEGORIES:

Area I HAWAII 15-5691 REV -7 DTD 30 JULY 2018 ATTACHMENT 2

Completed cross-reference sheets for prime contractor and proposed subcontractors showing internal titles for the labor classifications specified in the Schedule and the Statement of Work.

All subcontracts set forth in the technical proposal shall be priced in the price proposal. Subcontracts regardless of dollar value shall be adequately documented to facilitate a determination of price reasonableness.

EACH PROPOSED SUBCONTRACTOR IS TO PREPARE A PRICE PROPOSAL SPREADSHEET IN THE SAME FORMAT AS PRESENTED HERE. The subcontractor worksheets shall only include the portion of work estimated to be performed by the subcontractor. Subcontractors may submit their rate development data via email directly to nancy.landeros@navy.mil

OTHER DIRECT COSTS:

Given the IDIQ nature of the contract and the fact that specific requirements are identified at the task order level, the Government understands that there are some cost elements that offerors cannot practicably predict at the time of offer submission (i.e., overtime, travel, incidental materials, and other minor costs). The estimated cost for Other Direct Costs (ODC) are listed in the table below. Each offeror is to use the amounts listed below in the preparation of their prices proposals. The offeror’s standard burden shall be applied to the estimated amounts. Amounts shall be entered into the ODC CLINs for each area (0002, 0004, 0006, 1002, 1004, 1006, etc.).

BASE PERIOD

52.216-1 TYPE OF CONTRACT (APR 1984)

The Government contemplates award of a Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity contract , resulting from this solicitation.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Contractors will be required to submit a technical proposal and past performance proposal that will be evaluated in accordance with solicitation procedures as set forth in the source selection plan. Awards will be made to offers that are determined to be Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA).

The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

(1) Management Plan

(2) Past Performance

(3) Price Proposal

The Government shall evaluate the proposed Management Plan on a pass/fail (technically acceptable or unacceptable) basis. Only those offers which are determined by the Contracting Officer to have a technically acceptable Management Plan will be further evaluated under Past Performance and Price.

For those offers determined technically acceptable under Management Plan, the Government shall evaluate Past Performance on an adjectival basis (Acceptable or Unacceptable).

In accordance with FAR 15.305, the Contracting Officer shall evaluate each proposal in accordance with the evaluation factors, in the manner described herein. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award multiple contracts without discussions. Each initial offer should, therefore, contain the Offeror’s best terms from both a technical and Price standpoint.

The Contracting Officer may elect to conduct discussions and, if this occurs, shall establish a competitive range in accordance with FAR 15.306. The Government reserves the right to limit the number of offerors in the competitive range for purposes of efficiency. In other words, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among acceptably rated proposals. At the conclusion of discussions, the Contracting Officer may give each offeror still in the competitive range an opportunity to submit a Final Proposal Revision in accordance with FAR 15.307. The Final Proposal Revision shall include any negotiated changes as a result of discussions.

FACTOR 1 - MANAGEMENT PLAN

Subfactor a - STAFFING/ SCHEDULE Subfactor b - ORGANIZATION/MANAGEMENT

To be considered technically acceptable, the Management Plan must meet all solicitation requirements, be complete and comprehensive, provide enough detail, exemplify a good understanding of the scope and depth of the Performance Work Statement (PWS), and be of sufficient quality in all areas as to ensure successful accomplishment of the effort. Any weaknesses in the proposal must be few in number and minor, thereby having little or no effect on proposed contract performance.

A technically acceptable Management Plan is a plan that clearly meets the PWS in two areas: (1) Staffing/Schedule and (2) Organization/Management. If an offer is unacceptable in either of these areas, the Contracting Officer shall consider the entire Management Plan as unacceptable and the proposal ineligible for award.

A technically unacceptable Management Plan is a plan that contains many significant weaknesses, deficiencies, and/or gross omissions; fails to demonstrate understanding of the scope of the SOW; neglects to provide a logical approach to meeting the Government’s requirements; and/or would require a complete revision of the proposal to become other than technically acceptable.

Subfactor a - STAFFING/ SCHEDULE. In order to be determined technically acceptable, the Management Plan must satisfactorily address Staffing/Schedule. At a minimum, the contractor shall: demonstrate that the offeror and any proposed subcontractors will be capable of providing 100% of the required staffing (in terms of labor type and quantity) for the geographical area(s) proposed; shall provide a comprehensive and detailed approach to staffing the contract; must show a solid and comprehensive recruitment and training plan for contractor and subcontractor employees and shall contain enough detail so as to demonstrate a firm understanding of the PWS.

At a minimum, the contractor’s proposal must satisfactorily demonstrate that the offeror will be capable of meeting the schedule, in terms of placement of qualified contractor employees at the required locations within the various time frames that will be required for individual task orders.

Subfactor b - ORGANIZATION/MANAGEMENT. In order to be determined technically acceptable, the Management Plan must satisfactorily address Organization/ Management. At a minimum the contractor shall demonstrate adequate organizational structure and management of the contract so as to ensure successful performance. Specifically, the lines of responsibility, authority (supervisory chain), and communication through which the work will be performed must be clear and sufficient to achieve the PWS objectives. At a minimum, the contractor’s proposal shall thoroughly describe clear and defined roles and responsibilities of any subcontractors in performing the contract and in connection with the prime contractor.

At a minimum, the contractor’s proposal shall demonstrate that the following are adequate and effective to ensure the quality of the effort and to avoid personal services: (1) the method by which employees are tasked with work (within the scope of the delivery order); (2) the method by which the offeror plans to communicate with contractor and subcontractor employees on issues such as leave and time-keeping; and (3) the manner in which contractor and subcontractor employees will interface with both the contractor’s corporate structure and with the Government.

The Management Plan shall address the unique challenges of managing a contract in remote locations--Hawaii and Guam-- in terms of (1) the contractor’s ability to respond to questions and concerns from the Government in a timely manner and during normal business hours and (2) the contractor’s ability to effectively manage its workforce.

Contractors must demonstrate their ability to obtain ‘up to’ a Secret clearance level should a Secret clearance be required at the task order level.

The Government shall evaluate the Management Plan using the following adjectival ratings:

A- ACCEPTABLE (SATISFACTORY) - Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

U- UNACCEPTABLE (UNSATISFACTORY) – Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 2 - PAST PERFORMANCE

The Government intends to evaluate the quality of the offeror’s past performance. This evaluation of past performance is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer’s responsibility determination. The assessment of the offeror's past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the solicitation and as a measure of performance risk for contract award.

The Government’s assessment of performance risk is not intended to be the product of a mechanical or mathematical analysis of an offeror’s performance on a list of contracts, but rather the product of subjective judgment of the Government after it considers all available, relevant, and recent information.

The offeror shall demonstrate relevant past performance or affirmatively state that it possesses no relevant past performance. Failure to submit the completed Contractor Performance report Data Sheets will be considered certification that the offeror has no past performance for relevant services for the Government to evaluate.

The Government intends to verify past performance information on contracts listed by the offerors. The Government may contact some or all of the references. 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.

The Government may evaluate some or all of the information on the Contractor Performance Data Sheets and the corresponding Customer Input Sheets/Questionnaires. The Government’s evaluation of past performance shall include the following areas:

(i) QUALITY– compliance with contractual requirements; sufficient training and retention of qualified employees; quality awards;

(ii) TIMELINESS – compliance with delivery and/or performance schedules; timeliness of response to technical direction; timeliness of submission of requested information, reports and invoicing;

(iii) CUSTOMER SATISFACTION – contractor concern for the interests of customers; satisfaction of the end users with the contractor-provided services; number and severity of problems and the effectiveness of corrective actions taken;

(iv) PRICE CONTROL – accuracy in forecasting contract costs; ability to meet forecasted costs and perform within contract costs; ability to alert Government of unforeseen costs before they occur; and sufficiency and timeliness of cost reporting.

The Government shall evaluate Past Performance using the following adjectival ratings:

A- ACCEPTABLE (SATISFACTORY) - Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown (see Note below).

U- UNACCEPTABLE (UNSATISFACTORY) – Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

Past performance may be demonstrated from an individual prior contract or effort, or by aggregating multiple prior contracts or efforts of same or similar scope to that which is described in the solicitation.

The Government may take into account past performance information regarding predecessor companies, personnel who have relevant experience and subcontractors…
