SECTION J - LIST OF DOCUMENTS, EXHIBITS AND OTHER ATTACHMENTS

The following have been deleted:

SECTION J

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

BASIS FOR AWARD

M.1 Basis for Award:

The Government will select the lowest price technically acceptable offer at a resonable cost the

Government.

M.2 Evaluation Factors:

The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-cost/price factors:

Factor 1 –Technical Approach/Management Factor 2 – Corporate Experience Factor 3 – Past Performance

Offeror MUST be evaluated as technically ACCEPTABLE under Factors 1, 2, and 3 in order to be considered technically acceptable overall.

NOTE: The distinction between Corporate Experience and Past Performance is Corporate Experience pertains to the types of work and volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work covered by this requirement, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past Performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

In order to permit efficient competition, the Navy will utilize the following methodology: Proposals will initially be screened for price and placed in order of price (lowest price to highest price). The Navy will then evaluate the technical factors of the lowest priced proposal. The Navy will make award to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal. However, if the lowest priced proposal is not found to be technically acceptable, the Navy, at its sole discretion, reserves the right to increase the number of proposals it will review, until the Government identifies a technically acceptable proposal. Accordingly, under this methodology, the technical factors of some proposals may not be evaluated by the Navy. If discussions are deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer, all proposals will be evaluated (both technical and price) for the purpose of establishing a competitive range.

NOTE: An overall non-price factors rating must be at least “ACCEPTABLE” in order to be eligible for award. An “UNACCEPTABLE” rating in any factor results in the overall non-price factors proposal being rated “UNACCEPTABLE” unless corrected through discussions. An overall non-price factors rating of “UNACCEPTABLE” makes a proposal ineligible for award.

The non-cost/price proposal shall include submittals for each non-cost/price factor as specified below:

Factor 1, Technical Approach/Management:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: The offeror shall submit a narrative response that clearly demonstrates its understanding of and approach to accomplishing the complexity and magnitude of service requirements set forth in the performance objectives and standards of the Performance Work Statement.

The minimum standard for this Factor has been met when the offeror has demonstrated adequate experience by submitted at least one recent/relevant project of similar size, scope, and complexity to this requirement and as defined above on which it was the prime contractor. Beyond the minimum standards, the Government will consider the depth and breadth of corporate experience, focusing on performance of technical specifications to be performed under this contract, to evaluate the level of risk of unsuccessful performance. The Government will review only 5 projects. Any projects submitted in excess of the 5 project limit will not be considered. Projects must be submitted on the required corporate experience form.

Projects completed by the offeror or its corporate affiliates (e.g., subsidiaries, sister companies, and parent companies) in any capacity other than as a prime contractor will be considered not relevant. Further projects completed by a proposed subcontractor will be considered not be considered relevant.

The offeror shall be the prime contractor on a minimum of one up to a maximum of five relevant contracts of similar size, scope and complexity to the RFP as defined in Factor 2, Corporate Experience.

IF A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED

WITH THE PROPOSAL. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 2, Corporate Experience. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A

COMPLETED CPARS IS AVAILABLE.

IF A CPARS EVALUATION 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 J-0200000-12), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensuretimely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Ms. Janell K. Taylor, via email at janell.taylor@navy.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS 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 five years (from the date of issuance of the solicitation), such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

In addition to the above, the Government may review any other sources of information for evaluating past performance. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) using all CAGE/Entity Identifier numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the offeror’s proposal, inquiries of owner representative(s), and any other know sources not provided by the offeror.

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.”

A copy of the blank Past Performance Questionnaire to be used for requesting client references is included as Attachment J-0200000-12.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation: The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., PPIRS, Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), performance recognition documents, and information obtained from any other source) reflect a trend of satisfactory performance considering some or all of the following:

- A pattern of successful completion of tasks;

- A pattern of deliverables that are timely and of good quality;

- A pattern of cooperativeness and teamwork with the Government at all levels (task managers, contracting officers, auditors, etc.); and

- Recency of tasks performed that are identical to, similar to, or related to the task at hand.

2. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

(b) Price:

(1) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Offerors shall submit two (2) hard copies and one (1) CD-ROM that shall include the following:

• Signed Solicitation, Offer and Award Forms (SF 33), including Section B

The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990) in Section M of the solicitation. In accordance with FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options will not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). Analysis will be performed by one or more of the following techniques to ensure a fair and reasonable price:

(i) Comparison of proposed prices received in response to the RFP.

(ii) Comparison of proposed prices with the IGCE.

(iii) Comparison of proposed prices with available historical information.

(iv) Comparison of market survey results.

Proposals will be evaluated for completeness and reasonableness as follows:

1) Completeness: All pricing information required by the solicitation has been provided, all mathematical computations are correct and the pricing application understood, prices are on an “all or none” basis, and failure to submit a price on an item or a number of items may cause this factor and the entire offer to be determined unacceptable.

2) Reasonableness: Price analysis comparisons indicate the offered price to be fair and reasonable, balanced across option years, and balanced amongst all Recurring and all Non-Recurring Exhibit Line items.

Unreasonable, unbalanced, or incomplete pricing may cause a proposal to be determined Unacceptable.
