b. Calculation of DART rate: Multiply the total number of DART cases by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

DART RATE =

Number of DART Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

(2) TCR Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years’ [CY2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023] worth of data (not an overall average). If the Offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, affirmatively state so and explain why.

a. TCR cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness, medical treatment beyond first aid, or loss of consciousness.

b. Calculation of TCR rate: Multiply the total number of TCR incidents by 200,000, and then divide by the number of employee labor hours worked.

TCR RATE =

Number of TCR Incidents x 200,000

Total Number of Employee Labor Hours Worked

(3) Technical Approach to Safety: Submit a narrative that addresses the following:

a. Describe the Offeror’s approach to implementing and executing a Safety Management System (SMS) including Management/Leadership involvement, Employee involvement, Hazard prevention, Hazard control, Worksite analysis, and Safety and health training, to include the standard(s) used to benchmark the SMS.

(4) The Government reserves the right to review other available sources (public/Government internal) of information. These may include but are not limited to OSHA data, NAVFAC’s Contractor Incident Reporting System (CIRS), Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Electronic Contract Management System (eCMS), etc.

4. Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization and Participation

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to Small Business (SB) concerns, including Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and other small business concerns. Further, it is the policy of the Government that such concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

This Factor assesses both the historical achievements in utilizing small business concerns and the proposed small business participation commitment for this requirement. The offeror is required to demonstrate its previous commitment to SBs through its record of past utilization of SBs and the level of commitment to small business if awarded a contract under this solicitation.

a. Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

(1) All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment J2 (Historical Small Business Utilization) to demonstrate their historical utilization of SBs. Each project submitted under Factor 5, Past Performance, shall be included on Attachment J2. Failure to include each project submitted under Factor 5 on Attachment J2, or the failure to fully complete Attachment J2 for each project may result in a deficiency. Only complete Attachment J2. Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated. Attachments or addendums to Attachment J2 will not be evaluated. Offerors are permitted to expand portions of the form, as needed, to provide sufficient response.

Instructions regarding how to complete Attachment J2 are included at the beginning of the attachment.

(2) All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment J3 (Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD)) to submit the following required information for evaluation of this factor:

To demonstrate commitment to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract, identify by name the subcontractors that will be used to support each small business category, including SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSBs. Identify the type and complexity of product/service to be subcontracted, and the type of commitment (i.e., teaming agreement, joint venture agreement, mentor protégé agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) with each subcontractor.

o If subcontractors are not identified by name, offerors shall provide a detailed explanation why subcontractors are not identified. If firm written commitments with SBs are not in place, offerors shall provide an explanation and rationale on the ability to achieve the proposed participation.

(See Attachment J3, paragraph 5) o If a LB offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance. SBs intending to 100% self-perform are not required to provide an explanation. (See Attachment J3, paragraph 6)

To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total contract value) the offeror’s proposed small business participation.

The minimum required small business participation (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors) is 20% (this amount will be modified based on market research). Offerors who are not able to meet the minimum total small business participation requirement of 20% (of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation requirement cannot be achieved.

Only complete Attachment J3. Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated. Attachments or addendums to Attachment J3 will not be evaluated.

Large business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through subcontracting to small businesses.

Small business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through their own performance/participation as a prime as well as through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or subcontracting with other small business concerns.

5. Factor 5 – Past Performance:

Offerors may submit materials on up to five projects/contracts that demonstrate the offeror’s ability to successfully deliver products and services that are similar to the work described in the performance work statement.

For each project/contract, the offeror must submit a completed Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluation or a Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ). IF A COMPLETED CPARS

EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE FOR THE CONTRACT/PROJECT, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE

PROPOSAL. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION FOR THE PROJECT/CONTRACT,

the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS

IS AVAILABLE FOR THE CONTRACT/PROJECT.

IF A CPARS EVALUATION FOR THE PROJECT/CONTRACT IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment J5), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Matthew Duong, via email at matthew.h.duong.civ@us.navy.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall make their best effort to utilize new, recent and relevant PPQs or CPARS evaluations to meet the requirements of this proposal, rather than referencing or including older evaluations previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Also include performance recognition documents received within the last 5 years, such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

Sources of Past Performance Information for evaluation that may be used are as follows:

Past performance information provided by the offeror, as solicited;

Past performance information obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition;

and Past performance information obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror.

6. Factor 6 – Price:

Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The Contracting Officer has determined that certified cost or pricing data is not required to be submitted at this time for this solicitation for the indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract due to the exception at FAR 15.403-1 for adequate price competition. However, offerors are required to submit data other than certified cost or pricing data per the submittal requirements, below.

The price proposal shall be submitted in a separate volume from the technical proposal. No technical information shall be submitted as part of the price proposal.

Offerors are not required to submit a completed Section B. Section B represents that total ordering capacity of the contract (shared capacity), not the offeror’s pricing.

The Offeror’s cost proposal volume should be organized as follows

(i) Cover Letter

(ii) Completed Schedule of IDIQ Total Estimated Firm Fixed Price, Attachment J1

(iii) Basis of Estimate Narrative for Rates and Factors Proposed for the IDIQ Contract

(iv) The company operating financial budget for the current fiscal year and the company forecasted operating budget for next fiscal year.

Whether Offeror will require the use of Government property in the performance of the IDIQ contract, and, if so, what property Whether Offeror’s organization has a Government approved purchasing system. “Approved

Purchasing System” means a contractor’s purchasing system that has been reviewed and approved in accordance with FAR Part 44 Subcontracting Policies and Procedures

A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all services and items upon which prices are offered

Date of the submission Name, title, and signature of the person authorized to negotiate on the Company’s behalf with the

Government in connection with this solicitation.

b. Schedule of IDIQ Total Estimated Firm Fixed Price: Offeror shall submit with their price proposal a completed Schedule of IDIQ Total Estimated Firm-Fixed-Price Attachment J1 of the solicitation.

The Offeror shall supply the most currently available forecasted annual rates for direct labor, overhead expense, general and administrative expense, and any other factors used in developing the price proposal.

The Offeror shall provide its best competitive annual rates for direct labor, overhead expense, general and administrative expense, and any other factors used in developing the price proposal.

The offeror shall use the Government estimated annual amounts delineated in Table L1 below for labor category hours, direct materials, subcontracts, travel, and other direct cost (ODC), in developing the price proposal. The Government estimated annual hours and costs is provided for planning purposes and is not a maximum or ceiling. Price proposals for future task orders shall consider the requirements set forth in the statement of work (SOW) or performance work statement (PWS) for developing estimated labor hours and major elements of costs.

The IDIQ has a one 60-month ordering period with a 6-month optional extension of services period.

For proposal purposes, assume an IDIQ contract start date of September 1, 2025. The IDIQ actual effective date shall be established at contract award.

The Schedule of IDIQ Total Estimated Firm Fixed Price is an MS Excel workbook that consists of seven separate tabs (Attachment J1).

Offeror may tailor the IDIQ schedule to be consistent with the company’s established cost rate structure or use their own format for the Schedule of IDIQ Total Estimated Price, if (i) use of the Government’s preferred format will cause an unreasonable burden on resources and (ii) the Offeror’s format provides in substance the same level of detail and information reflected on the Government’s pricing format.

c. Basis of Estimate Narrative for Rates and Factors Proposed for the IDIQ Contract:

The Offeror shall submit a narrative describing its basis of estimate for each of the direct and indirect rates and factors proposed for the contemplated IDIQ contract. The Offeror shall use Government delineated amounts for travel and other direct costs to prepare its proposal. The requirements are:

A. Direct Labor Costs

Hourly Rates – Provide written narrative describing the basis of estimate for all proposed direct labor rates (unburdened). The Offeror should submit any information reasonably required to explain the estimating process, including the judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the hourly rate estimate. Offeror may propose individual wages or category average rates for key and non-key labor categories. Despite the estimating method employed, Offeror’s supporting narrative and justification shall provide the current actual hourly wage rate for each key and non-key person proposed. Identify the date as of which the actual wage rate is current. If proposed direct labor rates vary from actual wages of key and non-key personnel, explain the basis for those rates. If the Offeror proposes category average rates, the Offeror must provide the detail of employees and wage rates within each labor category and the average rate computational methodology. Any proposed “new hires” should be identified and provide justification for the wage rate (e.g., letter of intent to hire, company compensation policy). The proposed direct labor rates should trace to supporting justification.

Annual Labor Hours by Labor Category – The Offeror shall use the Government estimated annual labor hours delineated in Table L1 to develop its proposal and prepare the Schedule of Estimated IDIQ Firm Fixed Price (Attachment J1). The schedules contain a worksheet for each 12-month interval that comprise the 60-month ordering period and a schedule for the 6-month Option period.

B. Annual Escalation

The Offeror must support any proposed labor escalation factor with convincing and complete rationale, factual data, and other pertinent supporting data for out-year escalation projections. Supporting documentation may include management approved or human resources approved policy or memo relative to employee raise information, actual direct labor rates for at least three years, economic projection from an economic service provider, relevant internet data. Provide a breakout of the components that comprise escalation factor, such as cost of living, merit and promotion, and employee turnover. If a breakout is not provided the Government will assume the proposed annual labor increase is solely a salary cost of living adjustment and evaluated as such.

C. Travel, Other Direct Costs (ODCs), Materials, and Subcontracts

The Government anticipates that travel, other direct costs, materials, and subcontracts will be required to perform the tasking specified in the PWS. The Offerors shall use the estimates for travel, other direct costs, materials, and subcontracts delineated in Table L2 below to prepare the Schedules of Estimated IDIQ Firm Fixed Price (Attachment J1).

Table L2 – Travel, ODCs, Materials, and Subcontracts for developing the FFP Estimates:

Cost Element Period 1 Period 2 Period 3 Period 4 Period 5 6-month Option Period Travel Costs $217,200 $217,200 $217,200 $217,200 $217,200 $108,600 ODCs $14,400 $14,400 $14,400 $14,400 $14,400 $7,200 Materials $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $1,500,000 $750,000 Subcontract $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00 $0.00

D. Current and Forecasted Company Operating Financial Budget

The price proposal should include a copy of the company (i) operating financial budget for the current fiscal year and (ii) the forecasted operating budget for next fiscal year. Each budgetary report should include the company’s name and the applicable accounting/operating year.

The budgetary report should present annual amounts projected by general ledger account and/or account short description. The budgetary report should include the company’s projections for sales/revenue, cost of sales (direct costs inputs), operating expenses (overhead), general and administrative expenses and marketing and sales expenses.

If the budgetary report does not identify general ledger accounts, then Offeror must also provide a copy of its financial chart of accounts.

If a forecasted operating budget for next fiscal year is not prepared, then state so.

E. Current Year-to-Date and 3-Year Historical Rate Data

Offeror shall submit with their price proposal a completed Schedule of the Current Year-to-Date (YTD) Accounting Recorded and 3-Year Historical Indirect Expense Pools, Allocation Bases, and Rates, (Attachment J6 of the solicitation). Offeror must provide current YTD and a three-year history for each proposed indirect cost center. The Offeror should tailor the schedule (Template) as necessary to reflect the company’s actual cost rate structure. Offerors may use their own format for the Schedule of the Current Year-to-Date (YTD) Accounting Recorded and 3-Year Historical Indirect Expense Pools, Allocation Bases, and Rates, if the Offeror’s format provides in substance the same level of detail and information reflected on the Government’s schedule format.

(a) Historical Data - The historical data must be based on the Offeror’s Final Annual Indirect Cost

Rates proposal submitted to the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA). If the Offeror submission is not yet due, is past due, or the Offeror was not required to submit an annual final indirect cost rates proposal, then the historical data must be based on company’s actual amounts and rates as accounted for on the official accounting books and records, adjusted for amounts considered unreasonable or unallowable per FAR Part 31 Cost Principles. Offeror’s should provide an explanation for any significant high or low rate within the three-year history. If three years of historical data is not available, the Offeror must provide the reason or explain why.

(b) Current YTD – The current YTD data must be based on the Offeror’s actual amounts and rates as accounted for on the company’s official accounting books and records, adjusted for amounts considered unreasonable or unallowable per FAR Part 31 Cost Principles.

F. Company Financial Statement Report

The price proposal should include a company financial statement (F/S) for the most recent completed 12-month financial accounting year. If the Offeror prefers, the requested company financials may also be submitted via separate email from the company’s Chief Financial Officer. Include the balance sheet, income statement, and related notes or management discussion and analysis, if any. Include the cash flow statement if prepared. This information will be utilized to verify Financial Responsibility as required by FAR Part 9, and provide an understanding of the offeror’s rate structure. The submission requirement in descending order of preference is:

Compiled, reviewed, or audited by an independent external auditor.

Company prepared F/S.

Accounting system generated F/S.

G. Financial Institution/Bank Information of Prospective Contractor

Offeror shall submit with their price proposal the completed form, Attachment J7 included in the solicitation. This information will be utilized to verify Financial Responsibility as required by FAR Part 9.

H. Indirect Expense Rates

Provide written narrative describing the basis of estimate for all proposed indirect expense rates. The Offeror should submit any information reasonably required to explain the estimating process, including the judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the estimate.

Overhead and General and Administrative (G&A) rates: If the offeror has a multi-structure rate with separate Overhead rate(s) and/or G&A rate, input the rates for each of the contracts base and option years. Overhead or General and Administrative Expense is defined as the corporate home office overhead rate or General and Administrative Expense and includes the indirect elements of expense related to company operating overhead, general and administrative, general sales and marketing, facilities capital cost of money, etc. If the offeror’s established accounting practices allow for use of other indirect expense rates (i.e. overhead on subcontractor, field office overhead); those rates shall be inserted in the areas where such rates are applied.

Provide an overview of the company’s indirect cost rate structure used for estimating purposes. The Government suggests that the Offeror’s proposal include a summary schedule similar to the Table L3 below, which identifies the name of each cost burden center and related allocation base. Offer must describe each indirect cost pool. Describe or list the major cost components that make up the indirect cost pool. Offer must describe the allocation bases used in the computation of indirect cost rates.

Describe or list the cost elements that comprise each allocation base.

Table L3 - Indirect Expense Rates

I. Facilities Capital Cost of Money Factor(s)

If cost of money is proposed, provide the supporting CASBCMF form, Facilities Capital Cost of Money Factors and Computation. The Offeror should submit any information reasonably required to explain the average net book values and judgmental factors applied and the mathematical or other methods used in the estimate. If formal Forward Pricing Rate Agreement (FPRA) has been negotiated and is the basis for proposed FCCOM factors, provide a complete copy of the FPRA. If in the offeror’s opinion, the FPRA is too voluminous to include in its Cost Volume, then so state and identify the company’s cognizant DCMA and DCAA office and provide current contact information for each.

Provide copies of recent DCAA correspondence, if any, that approves proposed FCCOM factors.

J. Profit

The Offeror shall propose a profit amount to develop and prepare the Schedule of IDIQ Estimated Total Firm Fixed Price, (Attachment J1 of the solicitation). The profit factor proposed shall become binding on the Offeror as a maximum profit factor used on future task orders and related modifications.

K. Schedule of Negotiated Annual Maximum Direct Labor Hourly Rates, Indirect Expense Rates and

Profit Factor for Firm Fixed Price CLINs, (Attachment J4 of the solicitation).

The maximum rates will be contractually binding on the company if the award is made to the offeror.

The annual direct labor rates, indirect expense rates and profit factor proposed on the Schedules of Firm Fixed Price, (Attachment J1 of the solicitation), must be identical to those presented on the Attachment J4, Schedule of Negotiated Annual Maximum Direct Labor Hourly Rates, Indirect Expense Rates, and Profit Factors for FFP CLINs.
