Contracted Air Services IPT

Contracted Air Services (CAS) provides cost effective:

• Fleet Training and Exercise Support – Readiness

• Acquisition Program Test and Evaluation Support

By providing:

• OPFOR (Air to Air, Air to Surface, EW…)

• Air to Air Refueling

• Close Air Support for Training

• Airborne Range Support Services (ARSS)

Effectively replacing aircraft that have been divested from the inventory, augmenting limited adversary resources, and preserving combat aircraft life for the Warfighter.

Fleet Demand for CAS Growing

• CNAF realizes CAS capacity and efficiencies

• New Efforts

• Near Peer Threat Emulation

• 4th Generation Fighter OPFOR support

• JSF Squadrons fielding plan requires additional CAS OPFOR support

• CAS contract for JTAC Generation

• UAS Threat Emulation

NAVAIR Commander’s Intent

CAS supports AIR-00’s two Strategic Imperatives:

1. Align resources to better support Today’s

Readiness.

By providing cost effective Fleet Training and Exercise

Support

2. Reduce Cost and Increase Speed of Products to Fleet.

By providing cost effective Acquisition Program Test and

Evaluation Support

Draft Section M: Corporate Experience

• The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s and its principal entities’ demonstrated corporate experience based on contracts deemed recent and relevant in the past performance evaluation

• A comparative analysis of each of these contracts will be conducted to determine the similarity between the corporate experience and the future effort as proposed

• The breadth and depth of the corporate experience will be assessed for each element to predict how the Offeror may perform on the future effort. The evaluation will include an assessment of the following elements:

– Obtaining Flight Clearances

– Experience using EW

– GOPs/FOPs

– Experience using the same Aircraft Type as proposed for CAS HEEWJ.

Draft Section M: Corporate Experience

• Breadth is the degree to which the principal entities have performed/managed the effort(s) similar to that required by the solicitation as they relate to the element

• Depth is the extent to which each activity/task of the effort was performed to gain a certain level of proficiency

• The experience considered in this evaluation will only relate to

Corporate Experience, which is the experience gained through contracted work, vice the experience of the Offeror's personnel.

Therefore, personnel experience is not part of the Corporate

Experience factor and will not be considered

• A separate Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be assigned based on an integrated assessment of all elements

Performance Confidence Assessment Definitions

Rating Description

Substantial Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence

Based on the Offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Draft Section M: Technical

• The Government will evaluate the proposal to determine the

Offeror's understanding of, approach to and ability to meet the solicitation requirements

• The Government will assess the Offeror’s Technical Proposal with respect to its compliance with the solicitation requirements and the risk associated with the Offeror’s approach

• The evaluation will also include an assessment of the Offeror's

1) Aircraft Performance

2) Airworthiness

3) Aircraft Support

4) Technical Approach

5) Small Business (SB) Utilization Strategy

Draft Section M: Technical

• A Technical Rating and Technical Risk Rating will be assigned

• The Technical Rating is an assessment of compliance with the solicitation requirements and merit which considers the benefits and detriments related to program performance and operations

– The degree of benefit to the Government associated with a strength(s) will be considered in determining whether the Offeror’s approach and understanding of requirements rises to a level of being thorough or exceptional

– Appreciably exceeding requirements can potentially produce performance or operational benefits. Beyond the point where there is no additional performance or operational benefit, risk reduction may be assessed

– Additionally, a proposal that provides the Government with a capability, service, or resource that is not specifically required, but benefits the Government can have merit if it appreciably enhances performance and/or operations to benefit the Government

Draft Section M: Technical

• The Technical Risk Rating considers the risk associated with the technical approach in meeting the requirement

– Assessment of technical risk considers potential for disruption of schedule, degradation of performance, the need to increase Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance

• “Offerors are advised that during the evaluation process, a Technical

Rating of “Unacceptable” or a Technical Risk Rating of “High” or

“Unacceptable” may result in the entire proposal being found unacceptable and eliminated from the competition”

Technical Compliance Rating Definitions

Blue Outstanding

Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths.

Purple Good

Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength.

Green Acceptable Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Red Unacceptable

Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable.

Technical Risk Definitions

Rating Description

Low

Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Normal Contractor effort and normal Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome any difficulties.

Moderate

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses, which may potentially cause disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Special Contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring will likely be able to overcome difficulties.

High

Proposal contains a significant weakness or combination of weaknesses, which is likely to cause significant disruption of schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance. Is unlikely to overcome any difficulties, even with special Contractor emphasis and close Government monitoring.

Unacceptable

Proposal contains a material failure or a combination of significant weaknesses that increases the risk of unsuccessful performance to an unacceptable level.

Technical - Risk Reducer

Risk Reducer Definition: An aspect of an offeror’s proposal that reduces risk in a way that will be advantageous to the Government during contract performance

• Affects Technical Risk Rating

– Provides appreciable risk reducing benefits to the Government that may mitigate weaknesses or further reduces the risk to performance

– Each risk reducer may provide different degrees of benefit, thereby affecting the risk rating differently

– Used to assess the risk associated with the proposed approach

Technical - Risk Reducer Examples

• Reduces proposal risk by providing more than sufficient resources in order to respond to unknown conditions/situations

• Reduces proposal risk by providing resources/capabilities that are in-place and ready to be used

• Reduces proposal risk by providing plans that reduce/mitigates risks inherent in the proposed approach and program

• Reduces proposal risk by providing performance margin

Technical - Significant Weakness

Significant Weakness Definition: A “Significant

Weakness” in the proposal is a flaw that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance

• Affects Technical Risk Rating

– Provides appreciable increased risk to the Government

– Used to assess the risk associated with the proposed approach

– Each significant weakness may provide different degrees of impact, thereby affecting the risk rating differently based on the likelihood of…
