PWS.

iii. Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy and/or required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the offeror in its submitted contracts to the SOW. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

A Past Performance Data Sheet (Attachment J-12) shall be submitted for each contract to be considered as past performance. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of this solicitation; a detailed description of the work performed for the contract; and the role performed, including whether the offeror acted as a prime contractor or a subcontractor.

The offeror, NOT THE GOVERNMENT, is responsible for ensuring the

Government receives a sufficient number of questionnaires or that sufficient information is documented into past performance systems for review.

2. Volume II – Technical Proposal.

The technical proposal will be the basis for assessing the offeror’s ability to understand and perform the tasks in the solicitation. Section M of the solicitation outlines the evaluation factors and defines the source selection evaluation criteria for evaluating the technical proposal. A legible, neat, orderly and comprehensive proposal is required. Data should be presented in Evaluation Factor sequence (1.0-3.0) and paragraph numbering in the proposal submitted should coincide with the numbering system set forth in

Section M. Failure to respond to any one of the evaluation factors may result in disqualification of the proposal.

The technical proposal must demonstrate an understanding of and an ability to meet all of the requirements covered in the specification. The proposal should be sufficiently complete to demonstrate how the offeror will comply with government directions and requirements throughout the performance period. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known, i.e., descriptions of previous projects performed for the government, cannot be considered as a part of the proposal unless physically incorporated in the proposal.

All information must be presented in sufficient depth for the government to make a comprehensive evaluation of the offeror’s understanding of the work package and of the offeror’s capability to successfully perform the work package.

The proposal should demonstrate this understanding and capability in a concise, logical manner and should not contain superfluous material not directly related to the solicitation.

These rates shall prevail throughout the duration of the contract’s Period of Performance even when extended/modified. The number of man-hours and ODC base are estimates for evaluation purposes; the actual amounts of man-hours and ODC may be used interchangeably under the contract which could result in a distribution and amount of man-hours and ODC that is either higher or lower than that stated in CLIN 0002. Any additional AGR or ODC required beyond the CLIN 0002 estimated amount shall be added through contract modification using the same AGR and ODC rates agreed upon at contract award.

Any unused AGR or ODC will be de-obligated from the contract at the same AGR and ODC rates agreed upon at contract award. The contractor agrees that the number of man-hours included in its proposed price for such AGR shall include only direct production man-hours. For these purposes, direct production man-hours are for skilled labor at the Journeyman level expended in direct production as exemplified by the following functions:

Consumable material shall be included in the contractor's fully loaded manhour rate and not separately priced.

The rates proposed for profit and G&A on CLIN 0002 above shall be the same rates used by the contractor in its responses to the Request For Contract Change Order (CCO) Proposals issued under this contract. The KO will apply these rates to the ODCs for each CCO when it is negotiated and settled.

The base cost does not include the profit or G&A rates. Include the final figure that results when proposed profit and G&A rates are applied to the base price of the contractor’s total price for evaluation purposes.

NOTE: This does not include any material cost for Category “A” WIs. The material cost for Category “A” WIs should be included under CLIN 0001.
