Past Performance

The offeror are requested to provide information of up to three (3) previous Government contacts whose effort is recent and relevant to the effort required by the Solicitation.

“Recent” is defined as a contract in-progress or completed within the last three (3) years. If an offeror has not had three (3) Government contracts within the last three (3) years, information on recent and relevant subcontracts and/or commercial contracts may be submitted.

“Relevant” is defined as a contract that is of similar scope, magnitude, complexity to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation.

Scope: Experience in the areas defined in the Statement of Work (SOW).

Magnitude: The measure of the similarity of the volume, dollar value, and/or duration of the work actually performed under the offeror’s submitted contracts to the SOW.

Complexity: The measure of the similarity of technical difficulty, managerial intricacy, and required coordination of efforts and disciplines performed by the efforts in its submitted contracts to the SOW. For complexity, not only will the tasks performed by the offeror be considered, but also the offeror’s ability to coordinate tasks (e.g., concurrent performance requirements).

A Past Performance Data Sheet (Attachment J-4) is requested to be submitted for each contract to be considered as past performance. The offeror shall provide a detailed explanation demonstrating the similarity of the contracts to the requirements of the Solicitation; a detailed description of the work performed for the contract; and the role performed, including whether the offeror acted as a prime contractor or a subcontractor. The offeror is responsible for the accuracy of all data provided.

For each of the contracts the offeror describes in a Performance Data Sheet (Attachment J-4), the offeror is requested to provide a Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment J-5) to a reference at the organization that awarded the contract. It is requested that the reference, not the offeror, email the completed past performance Questionnaire BEFORE THE DUE DATE FOR PROPOSALS directly to Karen Carter, , PSNS & IMF, 808 Burwell Street, Bldg. 844, 1 st Floor, Bremerton, WA 98337-5001; email to

Solicitation, Attachments J-2 and -3. Each specification Item Number (Paragraph Number) of the 5-

Way Cost/Price Breakdown Sheet shall be priced.

Overall Price. Unit prices and extended prices shall be submitted as indicated.

Volume II: Technical Proposal

The technical proposal will be the basis for assessing the offeror’s ability to understand and perform the tasks in the Solicitation. Section M of the Solicitation outlines the evaluation factors and defines the source selection evaluation criteria for evaluating the technical proposal. The technical proposal is limited to 20 pages excluding appendices. A legible, neat, orderly, and comprehensive proposal is required. Data should be presented in Evaluation Factor sequence (e.g., 1.0 – 3.0) and paragraph numbering in the proposal submitted should coincide with the numbering system set forth in Section M of the Solicitation. Failure to respond to any one of the evaluation factors may result in disqualification of the proposal.

The technical proposal must demonstrate an understanding of and an ability to meet all of the requirements covered in the specification. The proposal should be sufficiently complete to demonstrate how the offerors will comply with Government directions and requirements throughout the performance period. Data previously submitted, presumed to be known, e.g., descriptions of previous projects performed for the

Government, or information that defaults to a web content, cannot be considered as a part of the proposal unless physically incorporated in the proposal.

All information must be presented in sufficient depth for the Government to make a comprehensive evaluation of the offeror’s understanding of the SOW and of the offeror’s capability to successfully perform the SOW.

The proposal should demonstrate this understanding and capability in a concise, logical manner, and should not contain superfluous material not directly related to the Solicitation.

L-3. REQUEST FOR CLARIFICATION

The offeror may use the Request for Clarification (RFC) (Attachment J-1), to request clarification of any

SOW specification or contract term. No verbal requests for information will be accepted by the KO or his/her technical representative. The offeror's questions must be submitted to the KO in writing. All requests for specification clarification must be received by the individual identified in paragraph L-2, no later than (NLT) 10:00 AM (PST) on 18 April 2016. Responses to RFC(s) will be posted as an amendment to the Solicitation on the Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website, https://www.fbo.gov/ on or about

20 April 2016.

Failure of a prospective offeror to submit questions will be construed to mean that the offeror fully understands all requirements of the Solicitation. The offerors are advised that the Solicitation requirements, terms, or conditions are changed only via Solicitation amendment(s).

The offerors are responsible for informing their prospective subcontractors of the Solicitation requirements.

The Government will not advise prospective subcontractors as to the requirements of their transactions with offerors, nor will the Government respond to direct inquiries from prospective subcontractors concerning clarifications or specifications or Solicitation requirements. ALL SUCH REQUEST FOR

M-2. BASIS FOR AWARD

a) The Government will evaluate offers on a Low Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis in accordance (IAW) FAR 15.101-2. The technical factor and past performance factor will be evaluated on an acceptable/unacceptable basis. Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding the minimum requirements of the Solicitation. Award will be made to the offeror with the lowest evaluated price proposal and acceptable past performance whose offer conforms fully to the Solicitation requirements and meets the acceptability standards for all non-price factors. In order to be eligible for award, an offer must receive an acceptable rating in every non-price factor.

i. Technical

ii. Past Performance

iii. Price

d) Note: The offerors are cautioned that any offer receiving a rating of unacceptable for any technical sub factor may be rated unacceptable overall for the technical factor. Any offer rated unacceptable for the technical factor or past performance factor will be ineligible for award.

M-3. ADJECTIVAL RATING/DEFINITIONS

Technical Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the Solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the Solicitation.

Past Performance Evaluation Ratings

Rating Description

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required contract, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown. (See note below)

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required contract.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305

(a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”
