4.6.2 Clause and Provision Fill-ins

Offerors shall provide clause and/or provision Fill-ins, as applicable, in this Volume.

4.6.3 Organizational Conflict of Interest Mitigation Plan (if applicable)

Due to the nature and scope of the work encompassed by this solicitation, the Government requires that there be no conflict which would preclude the prime contractor from performing any portion of the Statement of Work, regardless of whether it intends to subcontract that portion. Due to the nature of the work outlined in the technical ordering data (TOD), the Government anticipates that organizational conflicts of interest (OCIs), including impaired objectivity OCIs, will arise for Offerors that perform under other contracts within the cognizance of PNSY as prime contractor or subcontractor for touch labor that will be covered by this solicitation.

If any Offeror may have an OCI the Offeror must notify the Government and must submit an OCI mitigation plan with its proposal. Failure by an Offeror that has identified a potential OCI or an eliminated OCI to submit an OCI mitigation plan with its proposal shall be considered grounds for disqualification from award of a purchase order.

The Government will not accept mitigation measures for impaired objectivity OCIs. For any OCI, the Government will not accept mitigation or elimination measures:

(1) That creates an additional burden on the Government to implement;

(2) That involve directed subcontractors or creating separate lines of reporting or any modification to the Government/prime contractor relationship; or

(3) That is deemed in the sole discretion of the contracting officer to provide insufficient organizational independence between the prime contractor or a subcontractor under this agreement and a prime contractor or subcontractor for touch labor that will be covered by this solicitation.

This is not an exhaustive list of measures that will be considered inadequate to protect the Government. It is an illustrative list provided in an effort to ensure that all Offerors understand the Government’s expectations and intent to avoid OCIs. The Government reserves the right to determine whether or not any mitigation plan provided by an Offeror is sufficient to protect the Government. The Government also does not intend to accept any mitigation measures that involve additional oversight or commitment of resources by the Government, such as agency review of contractor deliverables, internal review of task assignments for OCI before issuance, or formalized monthly reviews of work performed and projected. All Offerors are directed to review and comply fully with the OCI clauses included in this solicitation.

EVALUATION PROCESS

GENERAL

1.0. Evaluation Methodology and Basis for Issuance of a Purchase Order.

1.1. The Government intends to issue a Purchase Order to any Offeror whose proposal complies with the RFQ requirements and is determined to be Acceptable under the Technical and Past Performance factors.

1.2. Compliance Review: The Government will compare the offeror's proposal to the Instructions to Offerors section within this solicitation in order to perform a compliance review. Any offeror's proposal determined non-compliant with the terms in the Instructions to Offerors section will not be evaluated and will not be further considered for execution of an order. Only offerors whose quotes are determined to be compliant will move to the Factor

Evaluation process. The Government reserves the right to waive the Compliance Review if it is in the Government’s best interest.

1.3. Factor Evaluation: Proposals determined to be compliant with the requirements in the Instructions to Offerors section will be evaluated under the Technical and Past Performance factors based upon the criteria provided in 2.0 below. Only compliant proposals determined Acceptable under both factors may receive a purchase order. The Government intends to award purchase orders based upon the content of initial quotes and without negotiating with offerors after receipt of those initial quotes; as such, an offeror’s initial quote should contain sufficient information to satisfy the technical requirements. The Government does reserve the right, however, to negotiate with offerors whose initial quote proposals are unacceptable if it is in the best interest of the Government to do so. If negotiations are determined to be in the Governments best interest, the Government will only negotiate with those offerors whose quote proposals do not contain significant informational deficiencies. The Government will not negotiate with offerors whose quotes are determined to contain significant informational deficiencies; those offerors will be precluded from receiving a purchase order. As this is a competitive acquisition process, the source selection policies and procedures of FAR 15.3 apply.

2.0. Evaluation Factors.

2.1. Technical Capability (Factor 1). The Government will evaluate whether the Vendor has demonstrated an understanding of and the capability to perform this requirement in a manner that conforms to the contract as measured by the elements noted below. The Technical Capability factor will be rated at the Factor level. The individual elements will not be rated, but the Government’s evaluation of the elements, individually or collectively, will affect whether a quotation is rated Acceptable or Unacceptable.

Coatings and Non-Destructive Testing Procedures.

a. Whether the Vendor has submitted procedures to conduct the following coatings and/or non-destructive testing:

Ultrasonic Inspection Procedure in accordance with MIL-STD-2132E

b. Whether the procedures contain sufficient detail and demonstrate an understanding of and an ability to comply with all requirements within the prescribed specifications.

a. Whether the Vendor has submitted documentation of its existing or future plan to comply with the standards and requirements in the following Clauses:

(i) FAR 52.246-11, Higher Level Contract Quality Requirements; and

(i) NAVSEA E-246-H020 Quality Management System Requirements (OCT 2018). Note, Vendors may propose alternatives to the requirements specified in this clause; any proposed alternatives are subject to approval by the Government.

b. Whether the submitted documentation provides adequate assurances of the Vendor’s understanding of and ability to comply with all the quality standards and requirements needed to produce Level I HX Pipe.

Subcontractors:

Whether the Vendor has indicated whether it plans to use subcontractors, teaming partners or affiliates to perform this contract.

If so, whether the Vendor has identifies those entities in its proposal (by name and CAGE Code); described their roles under the contract; identified whether they are approved to receive export-controlled information; and identified whether they have Quality Management and Material Control Systems and provided documentation demonstrating compliance with those requirements.

Technical Evaluation Ratings

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Submission clearly meets all requirements of the NDT Procedures Unacceptable Submission does not clearly meet all requirements of the NDT Procedures

Adjectival Rating Description Acceptable Submission clearly meets all requirements of the Control systems Unacceptable Submission does not clearly meet all requirements of the Control systems

Subcontractors:

Acceptable Submission clearly meets all requirements of the subcontractors Unacceptable Submission does not clearly meet all requirements of the subcontractors

2.2. Past Performance (Factor 2).

The Government will evaluate Past Performance information to assess how well the Vendor and any proposed subcontractors, teaming/joint venture partners or affiliates (hereafter, subcontractor) performed on prior contracts / projects and to assess the likelihood of successful performance of this solicitation’s requirements. The Government will only evaluate Past Performance information that is recent and relevant and will focus on how well the contractor performed on the referenced contracts in the following areas:

Quality of Product of Service: The degree to which the products or services provided meet the requirements of the contract and the degree to which they were similar to this solicitation.

Delivery/Completion Schedule: The extent to which the Offeror satisfied customer requirements for contract completion in accordance with the agreed upon schedule.

The Government will use the following definitions to guide its evaluation:

Recent is any contract or project that has been performed within five (5) years, measured from the date this solicitation was issued. Information that fails to meet this condition will not be evaluated.

Relevant is defined as any contractor or project that is similar in scope and complexity to this effort.

Scope: Measures the similarity between the Past Performance information and requirements or tasks to be performed in the solicited effort.

Complexity: Measures the similarity of technical and managerial intricacy and required coordination and disciplines between the Past Performance information and the solicited effort.

The Government may consider past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror, including Federal, State and local Government agencies, better business bureaus, published media and electronic databases including, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), the Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP), and the Supplier Performance Risk System (SPRS).

The Government may contact some or all of the references provided, as appropriate, and may collect information through questionnaires, telephone interviews and existing data sources. 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. This information will be used for the evaluation of past performance.

The Government will use the following ratings and definitions to evaluate the Past Performance factor.

1. Relevancy

Adjectival Rating Description

Relevant Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires

2. Confidence Assessment Information that is not recent or relevant is not considered in the assessment of Past Performance Confidence. In conducting a performance confidence assessment, each Vendor shall be assigned one of the ratings below

Relevant Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Vendor will successfully perform the required effort, OR the Vendor’s performance record is unknown. (See Note Below)

Not Relevant Based on the Vendor’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Vendor will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

*NOTE: In the case of a Vendor 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 Vendor may not be evaluated favorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)).

2.3. Price (Factor 3).

The Price will be evaluated as Lowest Price Technically Acceptable, however, the Contracting Officer reserves the right to award to the vendor who provides a quote that is overall the most advantageous to the government.

2.4. Schedule (Factor 4).

(a) Definitions. As used in this clause--

Covered contractor information system means an information system that is owned or operated by a contractor that processes, stores, or transmits Federal contract information.

Federal contract information means information, not intended for public release, that is provided by or generated for the Government under a contract to develop or deliver a product or service to the Government, but not including information provided by the Government to the public (such as on public websites) or simple transactional information, such as necessary to process payments.

Information means any communication or representation of knowledge such as facts, data, or opinions, in any medium or form, including textual, numerical, graphic, cartographic, narrative, or audiovisual (Committee on National Security Systems Instruction (CNSSI) 4009).

Information system means a discrete set of information resources organized for the collection, processing, maintenance, use, sharing, dissemination, or disposition of information (44 U.S.C. 3502).

Safeguarding means measures or controls that are prescribed to protect information systems.

(b) Safeguarding requirements and procedures.

(1) The Contractor shall apply the following basic safeguarding requirements and procedures to protect covered contractor information systems. Requirements and procedures for basic safeguarding of covered contractor information systems shall include, at a minimum, the following security controls:

(ii) Limit information system access to the types of transactions and functions that authorized users are permitted to execute.

(iii) Verify and control/limit connections to and use of external information systems.

(iv) Control information posted or processed on publicly accessible information systems.

(v) Identify information system users, processes acting on behalf of users, or devices.

(xi) Implement subnetworks for publicly accessible system components that are physically or logically separated from internal networks.

(xii) Identify, report, and correct information and information system flaws in a timely manner.

(xiii) Provide protection from malicious code at appropriate locations within organizational information systems.

(xiv) Update malicious code protection mechanisms when new releases are available.

(xv) Perform periodic scans of the information system and real-time scans of files from external sources as files are downloaded, opened, or executed.

(2) Other requirements. This clause does not relieve the Contractor of any other specific safeguarding requirements specified by Federal agencies and departments relating to covered contractor information systems generally or other Federal safeguarding requirements for controlled unclassified information (CUI) as established by Executive Order 13556.

(c) Subcontracts. The Contractor shall include the substance of this clause, including this paragraph (c), in subcontracts under this contract (including subcontracts for the acquisition of commercial products or commercial services, other than commercially available off-the-shelf items), in which the subcontractor may have Federal contract information residing in or transiting through its information system.
