SECTION C - DESCRIPTIONS AND SPECIFICATIONS

The following have been modified:

SECTION C

SECTION C. Description / Specification / Work Statement Background

The Amphibious Surf Capable Vehicle (ASCV) will be capable of performing the full mission set of the Lighter Amphibious Re-Supply Cargo (LARC)-V A1/A2. The ASCV’s core capabilities include amphibious warfare during Assault Echelon (AE), Assault Follow-on Echelon (AFOE), Logistics over the Shore (LOTS), Combined Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore (C/JLOTS), and Maritime Prepositioning Force (MPF) operations. The purpose of the ASCV is to provide surf zone support to landing craft and lighterage during logistics offload and on-load, by identifying underwater holes and obstacles, rescuing personnel overboard, delivering anti-broaching lines, and towing disabled vehicles. The ASCV Concept of Operation (CONOPS) describes the anticipated operations for the vehicle including ramp checks, surf zone rescue, boat lane preparation, anti-broaching, personnel transport, equipment transport, surf and beach salvage, and conduct diving operations. The ASCV Performance Specification contains the performance specifications for the vehicle. Instructions to obtain the ASCV Performance Specification and ASCV CONOPS is located at Attachment J-1

The Government encourages and seeks low risk, cost effective approaches in the design and construction of the ASCV. The government also seeks to eliminate the use of military standards in favor of commercial standards and will consider contractor recommendations to this end.

The ASCV acquisition is planned for three contract phases with the intent that work will continue without disruption between phases. Contractors must have the ability to complete all three phases in order to receive any contract. The Government intends to award to multiple Contractors for Phase I and subsequently select a single contractor for Phase II, finally leading to Phase III production. Phase I selection will be based on Contractor proposal(s) submitted in response to this solicitation The three procurement phases are as follows:

ASCV Program Contracting Phases:

Phase I:

Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Anticipated Number of Awards: multiple Duration: 6 months Purpose: Preliminary Design of Engineering Design Model (EDM), Systems Engineering, and Planning

Phase II:

Contract Type:

a) Firm Fixed Price for Engineering Development Model (EDM): to include detailed design, construction, testing, and logistics support

b) Firm Fixed Price for Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) construction and logistics support Anticipated Number of Awards: Single Duration: 50 months Purpose: Design development and validation, including:

EDM Detailed Design – 6 months EDM Construction, one (1) unit – 12 months, EDM Testing

– 3 months, EDM Logistics support – 12 months, Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP), four (4) units – 12 months, LRIP Logistics support – 12 months Technical Data Package (optional) – 12 months

Phase III:

Contract Type: Firm Fixed Price Anticipated Number of Awards: Single Duration: 51 months Purpose: Full Rate Production (FRP) – 40 Units.

This statement of work is for the award of Phase I only. Only awardees under Phase I will be eligible for award under Phase II. Awardees under phase II are eligible for award under Phase III.

ASCV Statement of Work

C.1 INTRODUCTION

The existing LARC-V A1/A2 vehicles are reaching the end of their service life, resulting in a capability gap when they are no longer in the fleet. The LARC-V A1/A2’s hull form, which has more than 40 years of in-surf experience, is described in the LARC-V A1/A2 Hull Form Description document. Instruction on how to obtain this document is found in Attachment J-1. The ASCVs will be a direct replacement for the LARC-V A1/A2. The ASCV will utilize non-developmental technologies to meet the program schedule and ensure ASCVs are available to replace the aging LARC-V A1/A2s.

Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

a. Achievements: All Offerors shall provide a narrative (limited to two pages) to describe their achievements in supporting the Government’s policy to provide maximum practicable opportunities for small business (SB), veteran-owned small business (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), historically underutilized business zone (HUBZone) small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB), and women-owned small business (WOSB) concerns to participate as subcontractors consistent with efficient contract performance.

ii. Offerors representing as other than small businesses shall also provide copies of the most current individual subcontracting reports (ISRs) associated with each project cited under the Corporate Experience Factor if a small business subcontracting plan was required by the contract.

When not specifically addressed in the ISR or similar report, Offerors shall provide explanations for all instances of failures to meet dollar or percentage goals in individual subcontracting plans.

Notes:

The Government reserves the right to consider achievements information on other recent, relevant projects from all available sources.

Offerors utilizing achievements information of team members or key subcontractors shall clearly demonstrate how these companies will have meaningful involvement in the management of the subcontracting program for this acquisition. If not, such achievement information will not be considered under this factor. If the offeror is a new joint venture, partnership or other entity consisting of more than one company, provide achievements information for each individual business entity(ies) that will be responsible for managing the subcontracting program and clearly describe those responsibilities.

Failure to provide ISRs or any other requested information must be fully explained and may negatively impact your evaluation.

ii. Include supplemental narratives (limited to five pages) to address other elements of the offeror’s strategy such as binding agreements covering post award roles for execution of the contract and specific initiatives and tools that will be employed under the contract to enhance small businesses opportunities to both participate in this acquisition and build capabilities to support future NAVFAC acquisitions.

iii. The anticipated prime and first tier overall small business participation rate for this acquisition (i.e.

work to be performed by small businesses as the prime and/or subcontractors) is 20% of the contract value. Offerors are encouraged to exceed this percentage and seek meaningful levels of participation in each of the small business socioeconomic programs listed in Attachment J-4 consistent with efficient contract performance. Offerors shall explain in their participation and commitment strategies how proposed participation rates were established. The small business participation and commitment strategy must be in agreement with any required small business subcontracting plan and will be made a part of the contract upon award.

These may be higher or lower than percentages that would represent realistic, challenging small business subcontracting goals for this acquisition. Offerors representing as other than small businesses shall establish small business subcontracting plan goals that are consistent with their small business participation and commitment strategies submitted for evaluation under the small business utilization source selection factor in this solicitation and shall document in their subcontracting plans the basis for all proposed goals.

The completed PPQs shall be submitted directly from the Offeror’s client filling out the PPQ to the specified Government contract specialist prior to proposal closing date. An Offeror shall not submit a PPQ when a completed CPARS is available. However, it is the responsibility of the Offeror to ensure requested PPQs are submitted directly to the Government from the client.

If the Offeror is unable to confirm that a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) has been submitted to the Government contract specialists before proposal closing date, the Offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (refer to Attachment J-2), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s).
