The Offeror is required to submit sufficient information concerning the following areas to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain capabilities of the Offeror to perform the requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to permit evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s capability to meet or exceed the defined elements as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks. The Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation.

Failure to address a specific factor or sub factor clearly may be considered a deficiency. The detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

The Offeror must comply with all requirements of the Request For Proposal (RFP). Taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal un-awardable, unless the

RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The

Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the RFP that is not expressly authorized by the RFP to be a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001.

4.0 VOLUME 4: PAST PERFORMANCE

Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to the price aspects of the offer.

4.1 General

The Offeror shall identify on the Past Performance Matrix (Attachment #3) any contracts performed within 5 years of the RFP release date which contain efforts similar to those performed by the Offeror, principal subcontractors, and team members in the solicitation (e.g., tasks, complexity, contract type, and contract dollar value). The Offerors shall not reference an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract without referencing the appropriate task orders containing the effort similar in nature to this requirement. When possible, the Past Performance Matrix should include at least five of the most relevant contracts for the prime contractor, five of the most relevant contracts for each team member, and two of the most relevant contracts for each principal subcontractor. If less than five past performance references are available for a Joint Venture (JV), each JV member may submit up to five references individually in addition to their JV references.

For each contract identified, provide contract data, relevancy, past performance, and systemic improvement information as described below. Demonstrate the relevancy of the Offeror's, principal subcontractors' and team members’ past performance, as well as demonstrated systemic improvements with respect to the solicitation requirements. For each past performance problem identified, describe the status of the demonstrated systemic improvement efforts and, where applicable, demonstrate the impact that the demonstrated systemic improvement effort had on resolving the problem such that it would not reoccur. For contracts that are currently in the Contractor

Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), and for which annual reporting has been performed, do not send the past performance questionnaire for services to the customer.

The Past Performance Information Reporting System (PPIRS) will be used to evaluate Past Performance. For contracts that have CPARS Reports or similar reports that are more than six months old (e.g., the completion date is more than six months before the due date for this Past Performance Volume), and for any contracts identified which do not have CPARS Reports or similar reports, the Offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance

Questionnaire (Attachment #4) to that contract customer’s Program Manager. All questionnaires shall be forwarded within two weeks from the RFP release date with enough lead-time so that responses can be received by the

Government concurrently with the Government’s receipt of the Offeror’s Past Performance information submitted as per paragraph 4.1 and 4.2. The Offeror shall include instructions for the customers to send completed questionnaires within two weeks of its receipt via e-mail to Bonnie Walsh, Contract Specialist, at Email bonnie.walsh@navy.mil, thereby allowing the customer approximately two weeks to complete their response. This submittal information is provided at the top of the questionnaires to facilitate the Offeror’s effort in meeting these instructions. The Offeror shall not conduct follow-up actions with regard to this questionnaire. The Government may send any other questionnaires as necessary.

mailto:bonnie.walsh@navy.mil

The Offeror shall provide written consent from its principal subcontractors and team members that will allow the

Government to coordinate their Past Performance issue(s) with the Offeror. If the Offeror does not submit such written consent, then the Government will address any past performance issues directly with the principal subcontractor or team member and the Offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions.

Consequently, for any principal subcontractors and team members that do not provide such written consent, provide a point of contact (name, address, phone number, and email address) with whom the Government may coordinate these issues and obtain any responses as needed.

The Government may use information other than that provided by the Offeror in its proposals to evaluate past performance. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevancy of the data provided by the Offeror. The

Government has no duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror.

The Offeror has the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information.

4.1.1 Past Performance Information

4.1.2 Systemic Improvement Information

Identify those systemic improvement actions taken to resolve past problems. Describe the techniques, elements, and tools used to correct problems and, if applicable, how these techniques, elements, and tools will be used during this contract.

4.2 Past Performance Data Requirements

Complete Attachment #3 Past Performance Matrix. The instructions for completing Attachment #3 are included in the first worksheet of the attachment.

5.0 VOLUME 5: COST/PRICE.

5.1 Volume Content:

(a) This Volume shall contain the information for Sample Task #1, and shall include a copy of Section B with the CLIN prices, and for evaluation purposes, the total prices filled in for CLINs 0001, 0011 and 0016. In addition, the Offeror shall provide a percentage breakdown of the Offeror’s indirect costs and burdens added to the Sample

Task #1 cost/price proposal for all Cost Reimbursable CLINS. Section B prices shall be provided separately as an electronic copy in an Excel format on CD-ROM or DVD media. Within all Excel spreadsheets, the Offeror shall use formulas and functions to the maximum extent possible and avoid using output type “value only” cells. The

Offeror shall submit its cost/price proposal for Sample Task #1 utilizing the P6 Cost Summary Spreadsheet

(Attachment #6). The Offeror shall submit a fully completed Attachment P6. The Attachment P6 spreadsheet shall be formatted on letter size (8.5 X 11) paper. The proposal shall be unprotected and unlocked, with formulae intact to show mathematical operations.

(b) All cost/price and cost/price supporting information shall be contained in Section B and the cost/price proposal of Sample Task #1. No price or pricing information shall be included in any other volume, including cover letters. The Offeror is responsible for submitting sufficient information to enable the Government to evaluate fully the Offerors cost/price proposal for Sample Task # 1. The Offeror must bid in accordance with its approved cost accounting system.

5.2 Ground Rules and Assumptions:

(a) As this is a competitive acquisition with adequate price competition anticipated, any cost/price documentation requested need not be certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.406-2. However, in the event that adequate price competition does not exist after receipt of proposals, the Government may request additional cost or pricing data as necessary from the Offeror, subcontractors and team members may conduct negotiations with the Offeror, pursuant to FAR Part 15.403-4.

(b) The Offeror shall provide sufficient information to support its Sample Task cost/price as well as an explanation of all ground rules and assumptions that impact the cost/price estimates. Any apparent imbalances in the pricing, high or low proposed prices/costs as compared to historical data, or any other anomalies should be fully explained.

NOTE: Specific tasking will be identified at the individual task order level. Cost will be evaluated on each individual task order via NAVAIR clause 5252.216-9535 “TASK ORDERS PROCEDURES (MULTIPLE

AWARDS)”.

5.3 Sample Task # 1 Cost/Price Information:

5.3.1 The Offeror shall fully disclose the build-up of cost/price proposed for the Sample Task. The Sample Task contract type is Cost Plus Fixed fee (CPFF), Term Level of Effort (LOE) and cost for any proposed Travel or

Material. The period of performance for this Sample Task is 1 year. Offerors must use CLIN 0001 for proposed

Labor, CLIN 0011 for Material and CLIN 0016 for Travel as applicable.

5.3.2 When completing Attachment 6 (P6 Cost Summary Spreadsheet), the Offeror (e.g., prime vendor) shall not utilize any fully burdened hourly rates when pricing the direct labor rates of its employees.

5.3.3 Subcontractors and team members shall provide an Attachment 6 delineating the build-up of rates to the

Government as applicable.

5.3.4 In preparing the cost/price proposal, the Offeror shall ensure the submittal is easy to understand and includes the following:

5.3.4.1 Reasonableness and Consistency between the Sample Task’s Technical Volume inputs and this Cost/Price

Volume. The Offeror shall demonstrate that the total proposed price/cost is reasonable, realistic, and commensurate with the work required in the Sample Task. The Offeror shall explain any inconsistency between promised performance in the sample task and this cost/price volume, as well as any appearance of unbalanced pricing, in the proposal.

5.3.4.2 The Government is not soliciting any investments. However, in order for the Government to properly assess a proposed price/cost that appears low due to a corporate decision to absorb costs, e.g. lower than usual burdens or rates, the Offeror shall fully identify and explain any such investments as applicable.

5.3.4.3 Provide a narrative that addresses any assumptions made during the preparation of the sample tasks cost/price proposal and discuss the basis for the cost elements below listed:

5.3.4.3.1 Direct labor rates by category. The Offeror and proposed subcontractors and team members shall submit labor rates for proposed individuals for Sample Task #1. The Offeror and proposed subcontractors and team members shall provide payroll verification for currently employed proposed personnel and contingent offer letters outlining salary information for contingent hires. Verification of direct labor rates shall be provided for current employees; this could consist of, for example, screen-captures (or equivalent) from the Offeror’s payroll system or a form containing the title, direct labor rate and a signed certification by an authorized representative of the company.

Offerors retain discretion with respect to the documentation provided to substantiate the direct labor rates of current employees; however, the Government must be able to calculate the employee’s current hourly rate based on the information provided. If any of the rates utilized by the Offeror or any subcontractor and team members differ from the payroll verification, the Offerors shall provide a justification for the difference. If composite or category averages are proposed, provide a breakdown of how rates are developed. Offerors shall also indicate the number of hours subject to uncompensated overtime. Finally, as applicable, provide a narrative to describe the use of uncompensated overtime.

5.3.4.3.2 Indirect costs (i.e. Overhead, Fringe Benefits, General and Administrative (G&A), etc.), including a description of pools to which indirect rates are applied. If available, the Offeror and proposed subcontractors and team members shall provide the most current DCAA Provisional Billing Rate Approval Letter, DCAA Final Billing

Rate Approval Letter, and/or DCAA Forward Pricing Rate Agreement or Recommendation (FPRA/FPRR). If

DCAA has not reviewed the rate information for an Offeror or one of its subcontractors or team members, the

Offeror shall submit a detailed justification of the proposed indirect rates, including details regarding the basis of estimate that may be helpful to the Government in conducting cost realism analysis. If any of the rates utilized by the Offeror or any subcontractors or team members differ from the DCAA information, a justification shall be provided for the difference, including any supporting cost data (i.e., budget information). Finally, prime contractors and all subcontractors and team members shall provide the last three years of actual indirect information.

5.3.4.3.3 When the Offeror or any subcontractor or team member elects to claim Cost of Money (COM) as an allowable cost, the Offeror shall submit a DD Form 1861 and show the calculations of the proposed amount.

5.3.4.3.4 Profit/Fee: The Offeror, subcontractors and team members shall identify profit/fee rates and total amounts proposed and identify the various cost elements to which the profit/fee is being applied. Profit/fee, rates, as applicable in Section B, shall be clearly distinguishable. Profit/Fee shall not be applied to ODCs.

5.3.4.3.5 Other Direct Costs (ODCs) by specific cost element (i.e. Travel and Material) as applicable to the Sample

Task. If it is the Offeror’s accounting practice to apply (and invoice for) burdens to ODCs, then the Offeror shall disclose the proposed ODC amount plus the applicable burdens.

5.3.5 If subcontractors and team members are proposed, provide the same information required for the prime contractor. The cost/price proposal shall be unprotected and unlocked, with formulae intact to show mathematical operations.

5.3.6 If the Offeror requires the use of consultants in its proposal, the consultant cost shall be captured under the labor CLIN not the ODCs CLIN.

5.3.7 As this Sample Task will contain Cost Type CLINs, the Offeror shall also provide documentation verifying that it has a DCAA approved Cost Accounting System or state that its Cost Accounting System has not been approved by DCAA, pursuant to the requirement at FAR 16.301-3(a)(3). It is the prime contractor’s responsibility to ensure that each subcontractor with a proposed cost-reimbursement subcontract type has an adequate accounting system.

5.4 Use of Government Furnished Property:

If the Offeror proposes/requires the use of Government Furnished Equipment (GFE) or Government Furnished

Information (GFI) other than that specified in attachment 10 (Scheduled Government Furnished Property), then the

Offeror shall provide:

- A complete description of the required GFE/GFI including part number and serial number, if applicable

- Where the GFE/GFI is to be located.

- The name, organization, and complete address and telephone number of a cognizant Government point of contact.

- In the case of GFE/GFI accountable to other Government contracts, a copy of the correspondence authorizing use of such GFE/GFI on this contract.

- The monetary impact to the Offeror's proposal if the proposed GFE/GFI is not provided as GFE/GFI.

If no additional GFE/GFI/GFP is required, the Offeror shall so state.

6.0 VOLUME 6: EXCEPTIONS, DEVIATIONS AND WAIVERS

In this Volume, the Offeror must certify that it contains all exceptions, deviations, and waivers that the Offeror takes from the provisions of the solicitation and its applicable documents. An “exception” is where an Offeror states it will not comply with a requirement, usually involving contract terms and conditions. A “deviation” is where an

Offeror states it will not comply with a requirement but proposes an alternative to meet the intent of the requirement, usually involving a specification. A “waiver” is where an Offeror requests authorization for the Government to accept an item, which will depart from specified requirements, but would nevertheless be considered suitable.

Exceptions, deviations, and requests for waivers may cause proposals to be considered deficient. An assumption or condition shall not be considered an exception, deviation, or request for waiver as defined herein.

Provide a detailed description for each exception, deviation, or request for waiver, as applicable. The Offeror shall indicate the Offeror’s difficulty with the applicable requirement and the Offeror’s proposed solution. The Offeror shall specifically identify the portion of the solicitation and the Offeror’s proposal, which are affected. If there are no exceptions, deviations or waivers, the Offeror is permitted to state this in Volume 1, rather than providing a separate document as Volume 6.
