52.212-1 INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL PRODUCTS AND COMMERCIAL SERVICES

(NOV 2021)

Any inconsistency between FAR Provision 52.212-1 and the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1 shall be solved by giving precedence to the Addendum to FAR 52.212-1

The Government will consider the proposals that are timely received. Failure of a proposal to address any item required in the submission package may make a proposal unacceptable and thus, ineligible for award.

Questions:

Questions regarding the solicitation shall be sent in writing, via e-mail, to Lawren Wolf at lawren.h.wolf.civ@us.navy.mil AND Taylor Dunn at taylor.r.dunn4.civ@us.navy.mil. Questions will not be accepted 10 days prior to the original solicitation closing date, Eastern Standard Time (EST). The Government reserves the right not to respond to any questions concerning this solicitation received after 28 October 2022.

Accordingly, offerors are encouraged to carefully review all solicitation requirements and submit questions to the

Government as early as possible.

Submission:

Offerors shall submit proposals by the closing date and time identified on SF 1449 block 8 through the Solicitation

Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) at https://piee.eb.mil/.

Other submission methods will not be accepted. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that the Government receives the complete proposal by the due date and time for proposal submission. For assistance access and training, offerors may contact their Contractor Account Administrator or Vendor Customer Support.

Go to https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/home/login.xhtml to search for the Contractor Account Administrator.

Go to https://piee.eb.mil/xhtml/unauth/web/homepage/vendorCustomerSupport.xhtml for Vendor Customer

Support.

Go to https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/xhtml/wbt/sol/solicitation/proposals.xhtml for proposal submission training.

All proposals shall clearly state the solicitation number on the Cover Letter of the proposal.

Proposals shall be provided in separately zipped volumes as designated below:

Volume I (Solicitation Documents)

• One (1) Separately Labeled Zip File Sent via the PIEE Submission Module

Volume II (Technical) mailto:lawren.h.wolf.civ@us.navy.mil mailto:taylor.r.dunn4.civ@us.navy.mil https://piee.eb.mil/

The following page limitations are established:

Title Quantities Requested Page Limit*

Volume I: Solicitation Documents 1 Original Electronic Copy 50 Pages

Volume II: Technical (FACTOR 1) 50 Pages

Sub-factor I: Technical Approach 1 Original Electronic Copy

Sub-factor II: Staffing Plan 1 Original Electronic Copy

Volume III: Past Performance (FACTOR 2) 1 Original Electronic Copy 12 Pages

Volume IV: Price (FACTOR 3) 1 Original Electronic Copy No Limit

The electronic copies shall be in either Microsoft Word or Portable Document Format (PDF). Each volume should have its own Zip File, separate from the other volumes. Volumes I and II shall not contain any pricing data.

Volumes I through III are limited to the maximum number of pages as defined in the table above. These page limitations are inclusive of the executive summary and any charts, diagrams, and/or other graphics. Graphics

(including tables) included in the proposal may use an alternative font with 8-point size type or larger. Each “page” is defined as one sheet, 8 ½” x 11”, with at least one inch margins on all sides, using a font with a point size of 12 or greater (e.g., "Times New Roman" style with 12-point font). Lines shall, at a minimum, be single spaced in

Microsoft Word. Pages shall be consecutively numbered. Multiple pages, double pages, two-sided pages, or foldouts will count as an equivalent number of 8 ½" x 11" pages. The offeror is permitted to submit no more than one page for each of the following, which will not be included in the page count: a cover sheet, list of tables, list of figures, list of acronyms, compliance matrix, table of contents, tabs, and dividers. Pages submitted in excess of the page limitations described above will not be evaluated. The price proposal is not page limited; however, the price proposal shall be strictly limited to price information.

* Page limits represent the maximum pages the Government will evaluate and are not construed as de facto standards for the amount of material expected in the proposal.

Each volume of the proposal shall be clearly marked as to the volume number, the solicitation number, and the offeror’s name. Pages shall be numbered consecutively within each volume showing volume and page. For example, page 19 of Volume I would be numbered I-19, and page 10 of Volume II would be numbered II-10.

Offerors are advised that the Government may verify any information provided in the proposal. Offerors are cautioned that they are responsible to ensure that material that they desire to have evaluated for a particular section is contained in that specific section. Proposals shall not contain classified material. Any portion of a proposal which the offeror considers business sensitive should be clearly marked as such in accordance with FAR 52.215-1.

VOLUME I: SOLICITATION DOCUMENTS

a. The offeror’s Solicitation Documents volume must include the following:

1. Copy of current financial statement and annual report for the company and its parent company (if applicable), or furnish evidence of adequate financial resources to perform the contract or the ability to obtain such resources;

2. List of all of the offeror’s instances of default on bank loans or repossession of assets;

3. Estimate of the working capital required to perform this Contract and evidence of adequate financial resources or the ability to obtain the resources during the performance period of this

Contract;

4. If the offeror intends to obtain working capital from a financial institution, parent company, affiliate, or joint venture, provide a copy of a credit agreement or other supporting documentation;

5. Standard Form 1449 (page 1 of solicitation and any subsequent amendments) with blocks 17 and 30 completed (signed and dated). Failure to do so may lead to rejection of the Proposal;

6. Completed copies of FAR and DFARS Provisions under FAR 52.212-3, if the offeror’s current Representations and Certifications are not available on System for Award

Management (SAM);

7. Acknowledgement of receipt of all RFP amendments (if applicable);

8. Exceptions. If applicable, the offeror shall clearly detail any exceptions taken and the rationale for the exceptions taken to the RFP and/or its amendments. Please note that exceptions taken to the RFP may render the offeror’s proposal unacceptable to the

Government.

VOLUME II: TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1)

The offeror shall submit a written technical proposal which demonstrates the offeror’s understanding of the requirements and provides an effective and efficient solution for the prospective contract. The proposal should clearly describe the overall approach to the solicitation requirements and address all of the components identified which will be evaluated against the criteria specified within FAR 52.212-2 of this solicitation.

The proposal shall not reflect a marketing or sales presentation. Unnecessarily elaborate proposals beyond those sufficient to present a complete and effective response to this solicitation are not desired.

The proposal may state information on the offeror’s experience (for this purpose, experience refers to what an offeror has done, not how well it was accomplished) in performing proposed processes and procedures. This information may be considered in the evaluation of specific technical approaches and related technical proposal risk. However, any such information in the technical proposal will not be considered for purposes of the overall past performance rating. The price proposal, past performance information, and financial information shall not be addressed in the technical proposal volume, and no part of the technical proposal shall incorporate by reference to portions of other volumes of the proposal.

An offeror may propose standards that exceed the Government’s minimum standards or propose additional standards or requirements. The offeror must commit to these in the proposal and must state the proposed standard/requirement in contractual language that the Government would be able to incorporate into the contract as stated. The proposal must clearly describe and explain how the offeror will meet these proposed standards that either exceed the Government’s minimum standard, or are additional standards or requirements.

If the Government determines that these proposed standards or requirements will be considered advantageous to the Government during contract performance, then at its sole discretion, the Government will incorporate these into the contract.

The technical proposal shall not exceed 50 pages inclusive of the exhibits, illustrations, attachments, flow diagrams, data dictionaries, figures, charts, draft start-up plan, and any other non-narrative inclusion. The offeror may use cross-references rather than resorting to redundancies in the presentation (i.e., a cross-reference to another paragraph within the technical volume; cross references to the other volumes is not allowed). The Government will count the pages upon receipt of proposals beginning with the first piece of paper of Volume II the technical proposal, which shall be regarded as page one. Pages in excess of 50 will not be evaluated. The Table of Contents and tabs separating sections of the volume will not be counted as long as they do not contain proposal content.

The Technical Volume shall explain the Offeror’s demonstrated Technical approach. The Technical factor consists of two Sub-factors, which are weighted equally. The Sub-factors will be rolled up to form the basis of the overall Technical factor rating. A rating of “unacceptable” in either Sub-factor will result in an overall technical rating of “unacceptable.” The Offeror’s technical proposal must include the following with no pricing information:

TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1)

1. Sub-factor 1: Technical Approach. The Offeror shall describe how its proposed technical approach will meet or exceed the Government’s requirements. At a minimum, the approach shall address the following:

i. Provide an Advertising/Marketing Plan that addresses all strategies for nationwide advertising and marketing in order to meet MSC’s annual Civil Service Mariner (CIVMAR) hiring requirements and Recruiting Strategy Plan and Schedule of Events that support MSC’s CSMP manning requirements to generate qualified leads, prospective candidates for career fairs, and academy recruitment.

ii. Provide an approach for the operation of the 24/7 CIVMAR Support Center (CSC)/call center that is capable of answering phone calls and emails that range from answering simple questions, to assisting CIVMARs who need help or advice on travel, or referring complex matters to the appropriate government (MSC) representative. The approach should identify how the Contractor is capable of supporting an employee workforce of over 5,000 CIVMARs both during normal work hours and after hours.

iii. Provide an approach for the full spectrum of the employment process, beginning with first contact with prospective employees through hire, initial new employee orientation and processing, as well as publicizing and assisting with the administration of current-employee promotion board processes.

2. Sub-factor 2: Staffing Plan.

The Offeror shall describe how it will establish and maintain staff to meet the requirements of this contract. This will include a staffing plan and organization chart detailing the number of employees per area/location. It will also include a staffing plan for the CSC. The staffing plans shall include

Points of Contact (POC) which meet the requirements of the PWS. CSC personnel should have a minimum two (2) years demonstrated experience in the use of automated information systems/programs (such as but not limited to Microsoft Word, Excel, Power Point, or any other call center program). If the Offeror has existing staff, facilities, and infrastructure that can appropriately meet the needs of this contract, it shall describe how these will be modified (if necessary) and/or maintained to ensure the requirements of this contract can be met. The staffing plan shall also detail an effective approach for managing the phase in period.

VOLUME III: PAST PERFORMANCE (FACTOR 2)

The Offeror shall submit thorough, accurate, and complete past performance information (PPI). Offeror-submitted

PPIs and Contractor Performance Assessment Reports (CPARs) will be the primary sources used in evaluation. The

Government may use additional sources of information in its evaluation, at its discretion. Additional information may be obtained from any sources available to the Government.

Submit the CAGE codes and DUNS numbers of the prime offeror and each team member, partner, or subcontractor included in your proposal. Include written consent from all subcontractors or team members to allow the Government to address any evaluated past performance directly with the prime offeror.

If PPI is submitted from prior organization structures (e.g., mergers, subsidiaries, purchases, novations, etc.), submit a detailed change history, to include company names, CAGE codes, DUNS numbers, and specific dates.

Past Performance Information (PPI) Reference Sheet (Attachment 9):

Submit a maximum of three separate PPIs for contracts, task orders, or calls that are recent and relevant as defined below. It is the offeror’s responsibility to explain how their chosen PPIs are relevant; however, the Government is not bound by the offeror’s opinion in determining relevancy. Two of the submitted PPIs should be for the prime offeror, if available. PPIs submitted for a basic Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) or Blanket Purchase Agreement

(BPA) will be considered a single PPI reference.

VOLUME IV: PRICE (FACTOR 3)

The offeror’s price proposal shall contain the completed Pricing Spreadsheet (Attachment 11) covering all aspects of the proposed effort. The price data shall support the level of resources required to complete the requirements of the contract and be consistent with data contained in Volume I.
