SECTION L

Section L - Instructions, Conditions and Notices to Bidders

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

Offerors are required to submit sufficient information concerning all evaluation factors to enable Government personnel to fully assess the capabilities of the Offeror to perform all requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to enable evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s approach and capability as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of all requirements and associated risks; is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet all requirements; and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements. With the exception of Volume 3 Price, no price should appear in any other volume. Alternate proposals are not acceptable. The Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The Offeror is advised that the Government may incorporate any portions of the Offeror’s proposal into the resulting contract.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization shall be emphasized during proposal preparation.

Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can comply with, or will comply with, the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information are considered inadequate by the Government, and may result in assessing weaknesses and/or deficiencies.

The Offeror must include any data that illustrates the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. Failure to address a specific factor clearly may be considered a deficiency.

Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

Offeror is expected to comply with all requirements of the RFP. The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal unawardable, unless the RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the RFP that is not expressly authorized by the RFP to be a deficiency.

Throughout these instructions, “Offeror” is defined as the prime contractor with its CAGE code identified in Block 15A on Standard Form (SF)-33, Solicitation, Offer, and Award. A “Joint Venture” (JV) is a partnership or teaming arrangement that is formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation when the prime contractor consists of more than one legal entity. “JV Team Members” are the entities that make up a Joint Venture. The term “entity” is used to mean any or all of the following: Prime, JV, and/or each JV team member or subcontractor.

1.1 ANTICIPATED AWARD DATE

The anticipated award date for this requirement is 11 February 2019. This information provides the basis for schedules and burden (labor, overheads, G&A, etc.) mid-point calculations.

1.2 SOLICITATION QUESTIONS

The Contract Specialist is the sole point of contact for this acquisition. Offerors may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by emailing the contract specialist at ekeitha.redd@navy.mil. It is requested that all questions be received within 7 calendar days of the date this solicitation is issued. It is requested that questions regarding this solicitation be submitted in writing utilizing the Solicitation Question/Response form (Attachment 17). Each question shall reference the applicable document, paragraph, and page. Questions containing proprietary information shall not be submitted as all Government responses to questions will be provided to all potential Offerors via amendment to the solicitation.

The Government reserves the right not to respond to any questions received concerning this solicitation after the question receipt date above. Accordingly, Offerors are encouraged to carefully review all solicitation requirements and submit questions to the Government early in the proposal cycle. All amendments will be posted to Navy Electronic Commerce Online (NECO) https://www.neco.navy.mil and to FEDBIZOPPS.GOV at https://www.fbo.gov. It is not anticipated that the closing date for receipt of offers will be extended. All questions must be submitted no later than 2:00 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT), 7 calendar days after the RFP release date specified in Block 9 of Standard Form 33.

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT

Written proposals must be formatted using a Times New Roman 12 pt Normal font (no reduction permitted), single-spaced with 1-inch margins all around, and formatted for standard 8.5 x 11 inch paper.

All pages should be numbered with section and page numbers. When foldout pages are used they must not exceed 11 x 17 inches and will be counted as 1 page. Drawings may be provided separately and may be any size but should be folded to approximately 8.5 x 11 inch standard size and will count as 1 page. Graphs shall be presented in no smaller than a 10 pt font and should contain a grid, which allows values to be read directly from the graph to the same accuracy that a 10 x 10 to the ½ inch grid provides.

Graphic resolution, including such data as tables or charts, should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented.

The Offeror will provide one complete copy of the proposal to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) as electronic files fully compatible with Microsoft Office 2016 and, for information not supported by MS Office products, with the latest Adobe Acrobat reader on a CD-ROM. The Offeror will ensure that the Price Volume is provided on a separate CD-ROM. Each CD-ROM is to be labeled for content and the Offeror’s name. If a discrepancy exists between the original paper copy of the proposal and the disk copy, the paper copy will take precedence. The original of each volume shall be two-hole punched at the top of each page and delivered in pressboard classification folders (two partition, six prong, one-inch bonded fasteners). The copies of each volume shall be provided separately in a 3-ring binder. The binders should be of an appropriate thickness for the number of pages it contains (e.g., a 30-page book shall not be placed in a 2-inch binder).

The Offeror must present proposal information in a manner that facilitates a one-to-one comparison between the information presented and this Proposal Instruction. Proposal information must be structured such that its paragraph number/letter is identical to the Proposal Instructions paragraph number to which it is responding, although the Offeror may add lower tier subparagraphs. The Offeror must provide reasons it will not provide information for a particular paragraph. The proposal information instructions are structured by paragraph numbers where first, second, third, and fourth parts correspond to the volume, book, section, and element, etc., in Offeror's proposal.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

SECTION M

Section M - Evaluation Factors for Award

PART A: GENERAL INFORMATION

1.0 GENERAL

The Government expects to select one Offeror whose proposal offers the “best value” to the Government, using the trade-off method. "Best value" means the expected outcome of an acquisition that, in the Government's estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit(s) in response to the requirement. The Offeror is advised that the lowest priced proposal meeting the solicitation requirements may not be selected for an award if award to a higher priced Offeror is determined to be more beneficial to the Government. However, the perceived benefits of the higher priced proposal must merit the additional price.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint.

The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary.

2.0 EVALUATION PROCESS

In accordance with FAR 52.215-1, the Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value after evaluation, in accordance with the solicitation.

All proposals will be evaluated for compliance with the terms, conditions, and requirements set forth in the solicitation. Failure to address each of the areas identified in Section L Part B Specific Information in the proposal may impact the resulting evaluation ratings and risk assessment.

For the Technical factor, a Technical Rating and Technical Risk Rating will be assigned. The Technical Rating reflects whether the proposal meets or does not meet the minimum requirements along with an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, and deficiencies of the proposal. For proposals containing no deficiencies, the benefit to the Government associated with assigned strengths will be considered in determining whether the Offeror’s proposal rises to a level of being thorough or good. The Technical Risk Rating considers the risk associated with the technical proposal in meeting the requirement and is evaluated by the identification of weaknesses and/or significant weaknesses. Assessment of technical risk considers potential for disruption of schedule, increase in costs, degradation of performance, the need to increase Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance. Offerors are advised that during the evaluation process, a technical factor with an “Unacceptable” Technical Rating or a “High” Technical Risk Rating may result in the entire proposal being found unacceptable and eliminated from the competition.

Under Past Performance, the Government will evaluate recent performance to determine how well an Offeror has performed work similar to the work required by the solicitation. When proposals are received from joint ventures, specifically formed by the Offeror to propose on a particular acquisition, the past performance evaluation will consider each individual JV team member’s relevant past performance, provided that it is not past performance obtained through its involvement in a previous or different JV arrangement. After evaluating the Offeror’s past performance information, a Performance Confidence Assessment Rating will be assigned. More relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the Performance Confidence Assessment Rating than past performance of lesser relevance. In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance, the Offeror will receive a Performance Confidence Assessment Rating of “Unknown Confidence (Neutral)” which is considered a “Neutral” rating.

3.0 EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

Proposals shall be evaluated using the factors listed below.

Factor 1.0: Technical Factor 2.0: Past Performance Factor 3.0: Price

The Technical Factor is more important than the Past Performance Factor. The Technical Factor and Past Performance Factor when combined are significantly more important than the Price Factor.

Technical and Past Performance qualities when combined are significantly more important than Price, therefore; the selection official is permitted to select an Offeror that has proposed a higher price if the technical and past performance superiority of that Offeror’s proposal is worth the price premium.

Because a successful Offeror’s evaluated strengths and weaknesses are generally exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552 — but so that unsuccessful Offerors might have some idea of where they stood in the evaluation compared to the successful Offeror — the government will assign a Technical Factor rating and Technical Risk and Past Performance rating as defined below. The selection official will perform a tradeoff between Offerors’ evaluated prices, past performance and their evaluated Technical Factor strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies.

PART B SPECIFIC INFORMATION

1.0 TECHNICAL APPROACH

The Government will evaluate each Offeror’s Technical proposal to determine to what degree the Offerors’ approaches demonstrate an understanding of CIS requirements and the risks associated with the GCIS Program, and the likelihood that the Offeror will meet GCIS requirements. Specifically, the following will be evaluated:

1.1 Management Approach:

The Government will evaluate how the Offeror proposes to manage the GCIS program. The Government will assess:

• The Offeror’s strategy for staffing Site Manager and Alternate Site Manager positions to meet the requirements in Performance Work Statement, paragraphs 4.3.1 and site specific appendices.

• The Offeror’s quality management approach:

o The Government will assess the Offeror’s proposed explanation as to how it would identify, prevent and correct deficiencies in the quality of service performed before the level of performance becomes unacceptable (Performance Work Statement, 4.17)

1.2 CI Recruitment, Staffing, and Retention Approach:

The Government will evaluate how the Offeror proposes to provide adequate qualified CIs at CSD and throughout the term of the contract for the GCIS program. The Government will assess:

• The Offeror’s approach to recruit and staff CIs during mobilization in order to meet instructional requirements at CSD, to include its Attachment 18, Staffing Chart.

• The Offeror’s approach to long-term retention and recruitment and how it proposes to:

o Retain qualified Contract Instructors at each site, and o Recruit instructors that meet experience requirements detailed in the site specific appendices.

1.3 Scheduling Approach:

The Government will evaluate how the Offeror proposes to meet daily scheduling requirements for the GCIS program. The Government will assess:

• The Offeror’s approach to scheduling and how it will meet the scheduling requirements found in PWS and site-specific Appendices and how it proposes to:

o Meet SWOS’s required scheduling flexibility. The Government will assess particular aspects of the Offeror’s approach that address PWS requirements for extended instruction (paragraph 5.2.4) and adjustments of instruction schedule (paragraphs 5.2.5, 5.2.5.1, 5.2.5.2, 5.2.5.3).

o

● How the Offeror calculated and quantified the hours in an individual CI’s work year that are available for primary and additional duties(i.e. reduction due to hours “lost” to sick and annual leave, corporate requirements, collateral duties, scheduling inefficiencies, etc.).

For the Technical factor, a separate Technical Rating and Technical Risk Rating will be assigned.

2.1.1 TECHNICAL RATINGS

The Government will assign Technical Ratings as described in the table below.

Technical Rating. The technical rating evaluates the quality of the Offeror’s technical solution for meeting the Government’s requirement.

Rating Description Outstanding Proposal meets requirements and indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements. The proposal contains multiple strengths and no deficiencies.

Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength.

Acceptable Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements.

Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation and, thus, contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable.

2.1.2 TECHNICAL RISK RATINGS

The Government will assign Technical Risk Ratings as described in the table below.

Technical Risk Rating. Assessment of technical risk, which is manifested by the identification of weakness(es), considers potential for disruption of schedule, increased costs, degradation of performance, the need for increased Government oversight, or the likelihood of unsuccessful contract performance.
