1. GENERAL

1.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF PROCUREMENT PROCESS

This solicitation is being issues as UNRESTRICTED FOR FULL AND OPEN COMPETITION.

N4008526R00050003

The NAICS Code for this procurement is 236210 and the Size Standard is $45,000,000.

This acquisition will be advertised utilizing FAR Part 15 - Contracting by Negotiation resulting in a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Contract for Construction Services.

In accordance with DFARS 236.204, the estimated magnitude of construction is between $25,000,000 and $100,000,000.

1.2 GENERAL OVERVIEW OF THE CONTRACT

The general intent of this solicitation is to award a Firm-Fixed Price (FFP) Construction Contract for Design-Bid-Build (DBB), P1112 B72 Resiliency Improvements, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard (PNSY), Kittery, Maine.

This project provides a desalination facility with a non-potable process water production capacity of 400,000 gallons per day, with expected average daily need ranging between 250,000 to 300,000 gallons per day. Produced water will be pumped to existing condensate receiver tank (base bid) and will be interconnected with existing south and north cooling towers piping (bid option).

2. BASIS FOR AWARD

The Government reserves the right to eliminate from consideration for award any or all offers at any time prior to award of the contract; to negotiate with offerors in the competitive range; and to award the contract to the offeror submitting the proposal determined to represent the best value--the proposal most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In addition, if the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

The tradeoff process is selected as appropriate for this acquisition. The Government considers it to be in its best interest to allow consideration of award to other than the lowest priced offeror or other than the highest technically rated offeror.

All technical factors, when combined, are of equal importance to the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating; and all technical factors and the performance confidence assessment (past performance) rating, when combined, are approximately equal to price.

Any proposal found to have a Deficiency in meeting the stated solicitation requirements or performance objectives will be considered ineligible for award, unless the Deficiency is corrected through discussions. An Unacceptable rating in any of the non-cost/price factors will result in an overall rating of "Unacceptable" for the non-cost/price factors, unless corrected through discussions. Proposals may be found to have either a Significant Weakness or multiple Weaknesses that impact either the individual factor rating or the overall rating for the proposal.

3. EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

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

Factor 1 - Corporate Experience Factor 2 - Management Approach and Schedule Factor 3 - Safety Factor 4 - Past Performance Factor 5 - Small Business Utilization and Participation

The distinction between Corporate Experience and Past Performance is that Corporate Experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, 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.

The relative order of importance of the non-cost/price evaluation factors is the technical factors (Factors 1, 2, 3, and 5) are of equal importance to each other and, when combined, are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor (Factor 4). When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-cost /price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the offerors' non-cost/price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-cost/price proposal's superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible offeror whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

(2) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government will evaluate price based on the total price. Total price consists of the basic requirements and all option items (see attached Price Proposal Form). The Government intends to evaluate all options and has included the provision FAR 52.217-5, Evaluation of Options (JUL 1990) in Section 00 21 00 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.

Although required to be submitted with Offeror's price proposal, under the "Solicitation Submittal Requirements," Items 3 through 11 above will not be evaluated as part of the price proposal. This information will be utilized by the Government in the responsibility determination and for considering responsiveness to the solicitation requirements.

(b) Non-cost/price Factors:

All submissions shall include the following:

The Offeror shall submit one (1) electronic copy via PIEE of the solicitation submittal requirements identified below. The Price and Non-price proposals shall be submitted in separate files and submitted in Portable Document Format (PDF). In addition, non-price/technical information included in the price proposal will not be considered; likewise, price information included in the non-price/technical proposal will not be considered.

All required proposal documents shall be submitted in accordance with FAR 15.208.

Offeror shall provide a cover page with solicitation number, solicitation title, Offeror name, address, phone number, fax number, Unique Entity Identifier (UEI), CAGE code, Federal Tax ID number, Point of Contact (POC), POC phone number, and POC email address with its proposal.

Refer to individual factors for page limitations. Information submitted beyond any of the page limits below will not be considered.

Note: If proposing as a Joint-Venture (JV), the offeror must submit the POC, UEI, and CAGE Code for each JV partner.

Factor 1, Corporate Experience:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Submit a minimum of two (2) up to a maximum of five (5) relevant construction projects for the Offeror that best demonstrate your experience on relevant projects (similar in Size, Scope, and Complexity as defined below).

Experience shall be that of the Offeror performed as the Prime Contractor. Experience of proposed subcontractors will not be considered.

Furthermore, experience of the offeror while working as a subcontractor will not be considered.

For purposes of this evaluation, a relevant project is further defined as:

Size: A final construction cost of $15,000,000 or greater. Final construction cost is defined as the total price paid by the customer for the construction services, including original contract award amount and any modifications executed during performance.

Scope: Renovation of or New Construction of either a Water Treatment Facility, Desalinization Facility, Industrial Processing Facility, Pumping and/or Steam Generating Facility.Station Facility, Complexity: Each project submitted does not require demonstrated experience with all of the following Complexity elements, but, collectively, submitted relevant projects must demonstrate experience with all elements, while meeting the above Size and Scope relevancy requirements:

a) Experience with phased construction related to the following: multi-stage industrial processes, water treatment plants, desalination facilities, steam generating facilities, pumping stations, or similar.

b) Experience with construction work in existing utility plants or industrial buildings where facility operations remain active with limited and available on-site construction laydown space.

Notes:

Complexity will only be satisfied on projects that are considered relevant in terms of Size and Scope, as defined above.

A project must meet Size and Scope to be relevant. However, Offerors are also required to collectively demonstrate experience with the Complexity elements within the submitted relevant projects, as detailed above.

Projects submitted for the offeror shall have been completed within the past ten (10) years from the date of issuance of this RFP. Projects which are not complete as of the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered "Not Relevant." Additionally, projects completed prior to ten (10) years from the date of issuance of this RFP will be considered "Not Relevant."

For all submitted projects, ensure that the project description clearly addresses how the project meets the required timeframe as well as the above Size, Scope, and Complexity requirements and clearly provides the final construction cost. The absence of any such information or information that does not clearly address the requirements may result in the project being considered Not Relevant, which could result in a rating of UNACCEPTABLE for this Factor which renders the proposal ineligible for award.

A project is defined as a construction project performed under a single task order or contract. For multiple award and indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contracts, the contract as a whole shall not be submitted as a project; rather, offerors shall submit the work performed under a task order as a project. The submission of a multiple award and/or indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity type contract as a whole will be considered Not Relevant.

The attached Construction Experience Project Data Sheet (Attachment C) is MANDATORY and SHALL be used to submit project information.

Except as specifically requested, the Government will not consider information submitted in addition to this form nor will the Government consider submissions via any other medium. Individual blocks on this form may be expanded; however, total length for each project data sheet shall not exceed two (2) pages.

If the Offeror is a Joint Venture (JV), relevant project experience should be submitted for projects completed by the Joint Venture entity. If the Joint Venture does not have shared experience, projects may be submitted for the Joint Venture members. Offerors may submit experience where a member of the JV performed as a JV with another entity but must clearly demonstrate how its work on that project met Size, Scope, and Complexity as defined above.

If a project was performed by a JV, and not all partners from that JV are on the JV proposed for this contract, the Offeror shall clearly demonstrate what portion of the work was performed by the JV member offering on this contract and shall not include work performed by the JV as a whole. The JV member proposed for this contract shall specifically address field work performed by that JV member including field staffing and direct field work oversight. The JV member proposed for this contract shall also address home office management performed by that JV member including the number /percentage of employees provided for the overall contract by the JV members as well as the overall percentage of work performed by the JV member. The Offeror shall also submit a SIGNED copy of the Joint Venture agreement indicating the proposed participation of each Joint Venture member. For 8(a) Mentor-Protege Joint Ventures, the Offeror shall submit the signed and U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) approved Mentor-Protege agreement. For Offerors who are a Joint Venture, an Offeror's proposal shall be considered ineligible for award if this information is not provided. Offerors are still limited to a total of five (5) projects combined.

Offerors that are not submitting as a JV may submit a project where it performed as a JV with another entity but must clearly demonstrate how its work on that project met Size, Scope, and Complexity as defined above or the project will be considered Not Relevant.

If an offeror is utilizing experience information of affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies (name is not exactly as stated on the SF1442), the proposal shall clearly demonstrate that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent firm will have meaningful involvement in order for the experience information of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies to be considered. The proposal shall state specific commitments of technical resources (e.g., personnel, management, equipment) that the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC/LTD member companies shall commit to the performance of this contract. In particular, the proposal shall clearly state the specific commitments of resources of the affiliate/subsidiary/parent/LLC /LTD member that will be located at the worksites and company offices in the city/area of the project. The proposal shall also describe specific roles of the affiliate/subsidiary/ parent/LLC/LTD member companies in terms of the work it will either self-perform or manage on behalf of the Offeror in performance of the contract. Vague commitments to support are likely insufficient; rather, they must demonstrate intent/manner of actual performance on the contract action being solicited. The information pertaining to affiliates/subsidiaries/parent/LLC/LTD member companies must be included within Factor 1 but does not need to be included on a Project Data Sheet.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The basis of evaluation will include the offeror's demonstrated experience and depth of experience in performing relevant construction projects as defined in the solicitation submittal requirements. The assessment of the offeror's relevant experience will be used as a means of evaluating the capability of the offeror to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. The Government will only review the first five (5) projects submitted for Corporate Experience. Any projects submitted in excess of the five (5) for Corporate Experience will not be considered.

An offeror that does not submit a minimum of two (2) relevant projects, as defined above, will receive a rating of "Unacceptable" and will not be eligible for award.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant construction experience with reverse osmosis desalination plants with a production rate greater than or equal to 50,000 gallons/day may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant experience with in-water/submerged construction activities may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant experience with excavation within areas of expected/known hazardous soils with highly variable ground and water depths, such as those subject to adjacent coastal tide conditions, may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant experience with interior and exterior renovations of historic masonry buildings adhering to Secretary of the Interior's guidelines for selective demolition and renovation may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant experience with removal and abatement of hazardous materials may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant experience with both monitoring and reporting of excavations by a qualified archaeologist may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate relevant experience with rooftop work with limited access requiring erection of temporary access use of cranes for the and rooftop work may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that demonstrate all Complexity elements within a single Relevant project may be considered more favorably.

Proposals that do not demonstrate relevant project experience for each JV member may be considered less favorably.

Factor 2, Management Approach and Schedule:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The offeror shall submit a Management Approach Narrative and Critical Path Schedule as detailed below. The narrative shall not exceed ten (10) pages. There is no page limit for the schedule.

Critical Path Schedule

Provide a Critical Path Method (CPM) construction schedule that illustrates your ability to achieve the schedule and meet all the requirements of the RFP (900 calendar days, including 15 days for insurance and bond approval). For evaluation purposes, the offeror's schedule should use an estimated contract award date of or around 30 JUNE 2026. This date is for proposal purposes only and is not intended to indicate an anticipated/planned award date.

If an offeror proposes a realistic and feasible schedule that is shorter than the required duration and is selected for award, that schedule and duration will be incorporated into the award document and replace the advertised required duration.

A schedule that proposes a contract duration longer than indicated in the RFP will be rated UNACCEPTABLE and, therefore, ineligible for award.

Offeror shall provide a critical path method (CPM) schedule for execution and completion of the work to achieve the required interim and final completion milestones for the project. At a minimum, the CPM schedule shall address, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Identify major activities and milestones.

2. Shop drawings, approval, manufacturing lead times for specialized equipment and prefabricated assemblies.

9. Testing and Balancing, Commissioning, Startup, and Closeout.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

Management Approach Narrative - Offerors will be evaluated on the extent to which they demonstrate a clear understanding of the RFP's requirements in accordance with the above Solicitation Submittal Requirements. An Offeror's narrative work plan that identifies areas of risk in logistics and resource management and provides a comprehensive contingency plan that addresses mitigation of any identified risks with potential solutions may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Critical Path Schedule - Offerors will be evaluated on the extent to which they demonstrate a clear understanding of the RFP's requirements in accordance with the above Solicitation Submittal Requirements. A schedule that proposes a realistic and feasible contract duration shorter than the required duration indicated in the RFP may be considered more favorably than those that do not.

Factor 3, Safety:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

The offeror shall submit the following information: The Days Away from Work, Restricted Duty, or Job Transfer (DART) Rate; and Total Case Rate (TCR) for the specified five (5) Calendar Years (CY), as well as a safety narrative, as described further below. For a partnership or joint venture, the offeror shall submit separate DART rates and TCR for the specified five (5) CY for each contractor who is part of the partnership/joint venture;

however, only one safety narrative is required. Any fatalities experienced within this 5-year timeframe must be explained in detail, to include root cause and corrective actions.

NOTE: DART and TCR shall not be submitted for subcontractors

1. DART Rate: Submit five (5) previous complete calendar years' [CY2025, CY2024, CY2023, CY2022, and CY2021] worth of data (not an overall average). If the offeror has no DART rate, for any year, the offeror must affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above Moderate Risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. DART cases include injuries or illnesses resulting in death, days away from work, and/or restricted work or transfer to another job days beyond the day of injury/illness.

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' [CY2025, CY2024, CY2023, CY2022, and CY2021] worth of data (not an overall average). If the offeror has no TCR rate, for any year, the offeror must affirmatively state so and explain why. Should a negative trend occur above Moderate Risk levels, an acceptable/detailed explanation is required that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

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.

c. Describe the processes of how the offeror will oversee safety compliance of subcontractors at all levels throughout performance of the contract (to include the offeror's own in-house workforce).

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) pages.

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.

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

The Government is seeking to determine that the offeror has consistently demonstrated a commitment to safety and that the offeror plans to properly manage and implement safety procedures for itself and its subcontractors. The evaluation will collectively consider the DART rate, TCR, Technical Approach to Safety, and other sources of information available to the Government as part of such collective evaluation. The board will evaluate the DART rates and TCR to determine if the offeror has demonstrated a history of safe work practices taking into account any negative trends and extenuating circumstances that impact the rating.

1. DART Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five years considering changes that take it from one risk level (or more) to the next up or down. Negative trends occurring above Moderate Risk levels require the offeror to provide a detailed explanation that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. Missing data without an explanation is considered a Deficiency.

b. Declining trends that push the risk levels from Moderate Risk (MR) or higher to Low Risk (LR) or Very Low Risk (VLR) may indicate a Strength.

c. An increasing DART rate trend could be considered a Weakness (i.e. MR or better to High Risk (HR) or Extremely High Risk EHR)) if an acceptable explanation is not provided for any trends that rise above Moderate Risk.

d. This chart correlates the DART rate to the level of risk:

Risk DART Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 1.0 Low Risk From 1.0 to 1.99 Moderate Risk From 2.0 to 2.99 High Risk From 3.0 to 4.0 Extremely High Risk Greater than 4.0

2. TCR Rate: The board will evaluate trends over the last five years considering changes that take it from one risk level (or more) to the next up or down. Negative trends occurring above Moderate Risk levels require the offeror to provide a detailed explanation that includes any corrective actions taken for improvement.

a. Missing data without an explanation is considered a Deficiency.

b. Declining trends that push the risk levels from Moderate Risk (MR) or higher to Low Risk (LR) or Very Low Risk (VLR) may indicate a Strength.

c. An increasing TCR rate trend could be considered a Weakness (i.e. MR or better to High Risk (HR) or Extremely High Risk EHR)) if an acceptable explanation is not provided for any trends that rise above Moderate Risk.

d. This chart correlates the TCR rate to the level of risk:

Risk TCR Rate Very Low Risk Less Than 2.49 Low Risk From 2.5 to 3.49 Moderate Risk From 3.5 to 4.49 High Risk From 4.5 to 5.99 Extremely High Risk Greater than 6.0

3. The Technical Approach to Safety Narrative. To determine the degree to which the offeror:

a. Describes a viable 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.

b. Describes a methodical process of evaluating subcontractor's safety performance in their selection process.

c. Describes a logical management plan to hold themselves and their subcontractors accountable for adhering to the safety requirements of the contract.

d. The Technical Approach to Safety narrative shall be limited to two (2) pages. Information on pages beyond this will not be considered.

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.

Factor 4, Past Performance:

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

Recent, relevant projects are determined within the requirements for Factor 1, Corporate Experience.

If a completed CPARS evaluation is available, it shall be submitted with the proposal. Note: submit all CPARS evaluations (interim and final) for each project. 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 1 - 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 D), 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, James Godwin, via email at james.a.godwin41.civ@us.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.

Offerors are highly encouraged to provide any information on problems encountered and the corrective actions taken on projects submitted under Factor 1 - Corporate Experience. Additionally, offerors are highly encouraged to address any adverse past performance issues. Explanations shall not exceed four (4) pages in total. Information provided beyond this page limit will not be considered.

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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) 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), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), and any other known 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.

IMPORTANT: It is the responsibility of the offeror to provide accurate points of contact for each identified contract and current telephone numbers and/or email addresses. Failure to provide requested data, accessible points of contact, or valid phone numbers could result in a firm being considered less qualified.

The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or additional information. The Government's inability to contact any of the offeror's references or the references' unwillingness to provide the information requested may affect the Government's evaluation of this factor.

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

(ii) Basis of Evaluation:

This evaluation focuses on the quality of performance on the relevant projects submitted under Factor 1 - Corporate Experience and past performance on other projects currently documented in known sources.

The degree to which past performance evaluations and all other past performance information reviewed by the Government (e.g., CPARS, 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:

- 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.

The Government will consider the currency and relevance of the information, the source of the information, context of the data, and general trends in performance. This evaluation is separate and distinct from the Contracting Officer's responsibility determination. The assessment of past performance will be used as a means of evaluating the offeror's probability to successfully meet the requirements of the RFP. More relevant past performance will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.

In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance and will receive a Neutral Confidence rating.

Factor 5, 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.

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

1. offerors (large, non-profits, small businesses) shall use Attachment E (Historical Small Business Utilization) to demonstrate their All AND historical utilization of SBs. Each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, shall be included on Attachment E. Failure to include each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, on Attachment E, or the failure to fully complete Attachment E for each project may result in a Deficiency. Only complete Attachment E. Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated.

Attachments or addendums to Attachment E 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 E are included at the beginning of the attachment.

2. offerors (large, non-profits, small businesses) shall use Attachment F (Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD)) to All AND 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 protege agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) with each subcontractor.

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

To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value ) the offeror's proposed small business participation. The and percentage of the total contract value 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 . Offerors who are not 20% able to meet the minimum total small business participation requirement of (of the total contract 20% value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation requirement cannot be achieved.

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

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