VOLUME 1: TECHNICAL (The following technical factors are all equal in importance and sub-factors are also equal in importance).

Sub-Factor A - Technical Approach

Sub-Factor B - Sample Tasks

Sub-Factor C – Technical Capabilities

The following grading scales will be used to evaluate Technical Proposals:

SATISFACTORY: To receive this rating, the approach or plan must adequately meet the requirements in the solicitation and is presented with at least minimal detail to assure the evaluator of an understanding of the proposed approach. The approach has a satisfactory probability of meeting requirements with limited technical risk.

MARGINAL: To receive this rating, the approach or plan has been presented with minor omissions or misunderstanding of the requirements in the solicitation, which could be corrected or expanded without a complete revision of the proposal to assure the evaluator of an understanding of the proposed approach. There is significant risk in meeting requirements. If after responses to IFNs have been incorporated into the final revised proposals SSEB has determined a factor to be marginal or below, the factor shall be rated unacceptable. If the rating of unacceptable in the factors results in a rating of unacceptable for any major technical evaluation factor, the entire proposal shall be rated unacceptable.

UNSATISFACTORY: To receive this rating, the approach or plan has been presented with major omissions or misunderstanding or has been completely omitted and has inadequate detail to assure the evaluator of an understanding of the proposed approach. Proposal cannot meet requirements without major revisions.

The proposal should clearly demonstrate that the offeror has a thorough understanding and capability to perform the efforts described in the Statement of Work. It is recognized that all technical elements cannot be detailed in advance, but the proposal must be sufficient to describe the manpower and facilities the offeror proposes to use to accomplish the effort. Statements that the prospective offeror understands, can or will comply with the contract requirements, or paraphrasing the contract Statement of Work, or parts thereof are considered inadequate.

Subfactor A: Technical Approach. MSC will evaluate each offeror’s (1) technical approach to the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and the soundness thereof; and (2) understanding of the PWS.

Subfactor B: Solution to Sample Tasks. MSC will evaluate each offeror’s approach to, and understanding of, the sample tasks – including quality and clarity of the response; technical and management approach; ability to perform the work; proposed service schedules; manpower estimates; and associated costs.

Subfactor C: Technical Capabilities. MSC will evaluate each offeror’s (1) location, features, and capabilities of facilities and equipment available to support the contract, (2) management and field service representative training and certification to fulfill the requirements of the PWS, (3) staff resources (shop and field) to service multiple ships concurrently as defined in the PWS within nominal ship availability maintenance windows (normally a 30 – 45 day window), and (4) quality control plans in place.

Subfactor A: TECHNICAL APPROACH

· The proposal should be sufficiently complete to demonstrate how the Offeror will comply with the PWS. Clarity, completeness, and conciseness are essential. The submitted package will specify, in detail, how the Offeror intends to perform operationally, logistically, and administratively (at a minimum). The overall quality of the Technical Proposal will be evaluated in the context of being representative of the Offeror's capabilities. “Brochuremanship" is not desired.

· Successful performance under this contract demands an integration of technical capability, acquisition and retention of fully capable, multi-talented, OEM and ABS/USCG-approved, adaptable personnel and management expertise with emphasis on timely, accurate output, quality assurance and cost management. Proof of ABS, USCG, and OEM certifications/endorsements shall be provided as part of the technical proposal.

· The Technical Approach shall be such as to enable evaluators to make a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound determination as to whether the services to be provided will meet the requirements of the Government. To this end, this portion of the Technical Proposal shall be sufficiently specific, detailed and complete so as to demonstrate clearly and fully that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements for, and problems inherent in providing the services defined by the Performance Work Statement.

· The technical approach should identify specific methodologies to be incorporated to ensure quality performance is provided at the lowest reasonable cost without impacting the timeliness of delivery or completion of tasking. The technical approach should demonstrate the adequacy and completeness of the approach/description of how the program would be carried to its conclusion, by major task and significant subtask. Offerors are encouraged to include diagrams showing the tasks and milestones related to the output. A technical approach which encompasses capability, technology, authority to perform required tasks, and is results oriented is preferred. The technical approach shall also address the following:

Ability to identify in advance, any ship systems COTS parts/materials, needed to support a typical ship fire fighting certification.

Ability to stock long lead time parts

Ability to identify/submit clearance requests for travel and access to OCONUS foreign ports/government facilities; AND ability to gain access to CONUS government facilities and commercial shipyards (i.e., proof of insurance now typically asked for by shipyards).
