The Government will not entertain any proposed revisions to the terms and conditions contained in this solicitation submitted as part of the Offeror’s proposal, including any attachment or exhibit referenced therein. Therefore, any offer that includes “redlines,” condition(s) of offer, or any other deviation from the requirements of the solicitation may be rejected by the Government and found unawardable.

Each Offeror is required to submit a proposal that is sufficiently detailed and complete to fully demonstrate an understanding of, and compliance with, all of the requirements of the solicitation. Proposals shall contain only material directly related to this acquisition. Offerors shall submit all information required by this solicitation.

MAY RESULT IN A FINDING THAT THE OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL IS UNAWARDABLE.

Offerors shall not assume that previously submitted data or prior experience presumed to be known to the Government (e.g., previous projects performed for the Government) will be considered as part of the proposal.

General statements such as, “the Offeror understands,” “the Offeror can or will comply with the requirements,” “standard procedures will be used,” “well-known techniques will be used,” or statements which merely paraphrase the solicitation in whole or in part do not constitute compliance with the requirements for proposal content. Data previously submitted, or presumed to be known (e.g., data or services previously submitted or performed for the Government) cannot be considered as part of the proposal unless explicitly incorporated into the proposal.

Discussions of each topic in the proposal shall exhibit continuity and logical progression.

However, the Government may contact any, all, or a limited number of Offerors with questions concerning their proposals as permitted under FAR Part 15. Upon the conclusion of discussions, if they occur, the Government will request Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) from all Offerors still within the competitive range.

It is not necessary to supply the maximum number of pages allowed for each volume; fewer pages may be submitted. Offerors shall organize proposal content sections using index pages or tabbed index divider pages with clear cross-referencing to the table of contents. All pages shall be consecutively numbered within each volume (e.g., 1,2,3,…), with the exception of the Price Volume.

When evaluating an offer, the Government will consider how well the Offeror complied with these instructions.

The offeror may include additional files to clarify, provide details, or demonstrate capability which cannot be depicted when presented in Adobe Acrobat format. Such additional files shall be limited to Microsoft Word (.docx extension) and Microsoft Excel (.xlsx extension) formats.

If doubt exists as to what constitutes pricing information, Offeror’s are strongly encouraged to submit a question in accordance with Section 1.4.

2.3 Proposal Submission

The Government requests one (1) electronic copy of the Offeror’s complete proposal to be sent through the DoD SAFE website : https://safe.apps.mil.

Subcontractor Past Performance. Should an Offeror’s proposed approach include the use of subcontractors, the Prime Offeror shall include past performance information of up to three (3) contracts per subcontractor, and include the percentage and type of work to be done by the subcontractor on the solicitation requirement. The past performance information related to subcontractors does not count against the number of past performance contracts submitted by the prime contractor. The Government will only evaluate past performance information belonging to significant subcontractors which is defined as 20% of labor workshare who perform work directly related to Touch Labor (e.g. labor spent directly on the ship to support equipment maintenance.) The offeror’s submittal shall detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform. A Past Performance example which does not detail clearly the aspects of the work in the solicitation that the subcontractor is proposed to perform will not be evaluated.

Past Performance Contract References When providing these references, the Offeror shall include a summary table using a format similar to the Past Performance Matrix below:

In addition to the information contained in Volume 5 – Past Performance, the Offeror shall coordinate the submission of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the Government POCs listed in 1.2 for each reference provided. The Past Performance Questionnaire shall be completed in its entirety by the Offeror’s customer. For the Government’s evaluation, it is important that the completed Past Performance Questionnaires contain detailed and elaborative responses in the “Reasoning / Comments” fields. The Past Performance questionnaire shall be transmitted directly from the Offeror’s customer to the Government POCs listed in 1.2 by the solicitation’s due date.

The Government is under no obligation to evaluate Past Performance that is not backed by a fully completed and properly submitted Past Performance Questionnaire.

Recency of Past Performance Offerors shall provide sufficient information for the Government to determine how the referenced work is recent.

Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant, and is one of the criteria to establish the Relevancy of past performance information. Past performance submittals determined to be not within the Recency thresholds will be discarded and not be evaluated. This solicitation will consider only work experience already performed. Work yet-to-be performed, and work prior to the last three (3) years, will not be considered. In addition, performance data will only be assessed for those references demonstrating at least three (3) months of completed performance prior to the closing date of the solicitation. The burden is on the Offeror to demonstrate the recency of the Offeror’s referenced contract(s) to the Government’s requirements.

Relevancy of Past Performance Offerors shall provide sufficient information, including descriptions of how the work is similar, to facilitate the Government’s determination of relevancy. Relevant contracts are defined as those in which the work performed are considered to be similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity when compared to the requirement described in this solicitation, including but not limited to the SOW and contract type. Past performance submittals determined to be Not Relevant may be discarded and not be evaluated. The burden is on the Offeror to demonstrate the relevancy of the Offeror’s referenced contract(s) to the Government’s requirements.

Quality, Schedule, and Safety Record of Past Performance Offerors shall provide sufficient information for the Government to determine the quality of the referenced work.

The burden is on the Offeror to demonstrate the quality of the Offeror’s referenced contract(s). Quality, schedule adherence, and safety record of past performance will include the quality of work performance, schedule performance against contract requirement, reported safety mishaps and similar areas of interest associated with the requirements of this solicitation. Such information may include, but is not limited to, customer satisfaction surveys, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluations, inspection & acceptance records (DD250), or any of the past performance data.

No Past Performance If the Offeror does not have any past performance, provide a statement affirming you have no past performance.
