As such, Ingenia Services, Inc., is prohibited from proposing or performing as either a prime or subcontractor for the life of this effort. Any proposal submitted in response to this RFP that includes Ingenia Services, Inc., as a Prime or Subcontractor will be found non-responsive and become ineligible for award.

1.0 GENERAL

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 or sub-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.

The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may result in the assessment of a deficiency to the proposal.

Questions: Offerors may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by emailing the contract specialist at Stephen.c.wagner@navy.mil. It is required that all questions be received within 10 calendar days of the date this solicitation is issued.

The Offeror will ensure that the Price/Cost Volume is provided on a separate CD-ROM/DVD. Each CD-ROM/DVD 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.

1.3 Small Business Utilization

Small Business (SB) Utilization Strategy

All Offerors (Large and Small Businesses) shall address their strategies for utilizing SB concerns in the performance of this contract, whether as a Joint Venture (JV), teaming arrangement or subcontractor to achieve a Government established SB Utilization Goal of no less than 11% of the total contract value by completing Attachment 5 – Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPD). If a lower value is proposed it should be clearly explained why 11% cannot be met in Section 2 of the SBPD. SB offerors may meet this requirement using work they perform themselves. Offerors shall identify one or more small business participants under Section 3 of the SBPD. For purposes of this solicitation, the term SB concern shall also include the subcategories of Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), HUB Zone Small Business (HUB Zone), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), and Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB). Each subcategory of SB shall be addressed. This strategy is separate from, but shall be consistent with, the SB Subcontracting Plan provided by the Large Business Offeror (also part of Annex A). A SB Prime Offeror may include its own participation within this SB Participation Plan. All offerors, both small and large businesses, are required to submit a Small Business Utilization Strategy that shall clearly demonstrate a viable plan for meeting or exceeding the Small Business Participation goal of no less than 11% of the ID/IQ total contract value of $49.99M which equates to $5.5M of the five year ordering period. The plan shall clearly demonstrate the annual dollars to be provided to the small businesses equaling or exceeding the $5.5M. In describing its SB Utilization approach, the Offeror shall:

a. Describe the extent of participation of SB Concerns on this contract and the details of each work scope anticipated to be performed by SB Concerns;

b. Identify the name, CAGE code, SB category (SDB, SDVOSB, WOSB, HUBZone, etc.) of each SB Concern planned for utilization in execution of the resulting contract;

c. Identify the NAICS code for the work to be performed by each SB Concern;

d. Provide targets, expressed as dollars and percentages of total contract value for SB participation in each SB category of each concern identified in paragraph 1.2.b. above. Note: This calculation is different from the calculation required by FAR 52.219-9 in the Subcontracting Plan, as the Plan requires percentage of subcontracting value.

e. Any proposed small disadvantaged business goal below 5% of subcontracted dollars must be supported by appropriate rationale in accordance with 5252.219-9501.

1.4 Computer Software Rights.

Computer Software Rights, specifically address the following:

1.4.1 The offeror shall describe its proposed approach to rights in Computer Software (CS) and Technical Data, including Computer Software Documentation (CSD), for all elements including object code and source code of its Common Baseline Solution. This description shall be consistent with the offeror’s assertions to DFARS 252.227-7017. The offeror shall discuss how this approach supports future currency, deployment, and sustainment of the Common Baseline. This discussion shall also explain how the approach affects the ability of third parties to maintain and modify the Common Baseline to include rationale for the use of proprietary or vendor unique Computer Software or Technical Data. Specifically negotiated licenses associated with the Common Baseline solution shall be provided.

2.0 VOLUME 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

2.1 Volume Content

a. The following is a list of Section L Attachments that the offeror shall utilize to provide information for this volume:

Attachment: L-2 – Past Performance Information Form (PPIF) Attachment: L-3 – Contractor’s Performance Assessment Questionnaire (CPAQ)

b. The offeror shall identify up to three (3) of the prime offeror’s most relevant government or commercial past performance contracts, and up to two (2) of the most relevant government or commercial past performance contracts for each principal team member.

c. A “principle team member” for purposes of the past performance evaluation Factor is defined as a subcontractor, joint venture owner (joint venturer), partnership owner (partner), corporate parent, division, subsidiary, affiliate or vendor that is proposed to provide at least 20% of the proposed total price/cost (excluding the offeror’s profit/fee) for the task or delivery order.

d. An offeror will not receive past performance credit for a proposed principal team member unless the offeror’s proposal demonstrates how the resources of that principal team member – its workforce, management, facilities or other resources – will in fact be provided to perform at least 20% of the proposed total price for the task or delivery order, excluding the prime offeror’s profit. Merely stating that the offeror has access to the resources of a principal team member is insufficient.

e. The government will not consider past performance references performed by an individual joint venturer or partner unless the joint venturer or partner meets the definition of “principal team member.”

f. Any submitted past performance contract must contain performance within three (3) years of the proposal due date specified in Block 9 of Standard Form 33 of the RFP. Performance that took place greater than three years from the proposal due date will not be considered.

g. Forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire attached to this RFP to the past performance contract customer’s Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), Program Manager and/or Point of Contact ─ with a copy to the Contract Specialist ─ for the following past performance contracts:

(1) Past performance contracts that do not have CPARS Reports, and

(2) Past performance contracts with CPARS Reports completed by the Assessing Official more than six months prior to the RFP’s proposal due date.

h. All questionnaires shall be forwarded within 14 calendar days from the RFP release date, with a copy forwarded to the Contract Specialist. The offeror shall include instructions for its customers to send completed questionnaires within two weeks of the customer’s receipt of the questionnaire to Mr. Stephen Wagner, Contract Specialist, via email at stephen.c.wagner@navy.mil.

i. The offeror should provide written consent from its principal team members that will allow the government to coordinate any of those entities’ past performance issues with the offeror. If the offeror does not submit such written consent, then the government will address any past performance issues directly with the principal team member, and the offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions. Consequently, for any principal team members that do not provide such written consent, provide a point of contact name, address, phone number, fax number, and email address with whom the government may coordinate past performance issues.

j. To evaluate past performance, the government may use information other than information provided by the offeror in its proposal, and may use past performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the offeror.

k. The offeror has the burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information. It is incumbent upon the offeror to explain the relevance of data provided in its proposal. The government has no duty to search for additional data to cure problems the government finds in the information provided by the offeror.

l. Regardless of relevancy, the offeror shall provide a list of Show Cause Notices, Cure Notices and Terminations for Default received on any contract, task order, or delivery order within the past 3 years.

2.2 Past Performance Contract Information

a. Provide the information identified below in an MS Word Table for each past performance contract identified.

1 Place of Performance should be the location of the government or contractor’s facility where the majority of the work was performed.

2 Provide the CAGE Code and DUNS Number of the company performing the work.

3 As part of its Past Performance Volume, the offeror shall provide printed CPARS that are referenced in the table.

b. Task or delivery orders awarded under Multiple-Award Contracts (MACs) will be considered standalone “contracts” for purposes of past performance evaluation. Thus, offerors may not propose an entire MAC as a past performance contract reference.

c. For a single-award indefinite delivery past performance contract, offerors may propose the entire basic contract as a past performance reference, or may propose a specific task or delivery order as a past performance reference. If an offeror proposes an entire single-award indefinite delivery contract as a past performance reference, however, the offeror must provide the past performance information below for each and every delivery order issued.

2.3 Relevancy Information of the Past Performance Contract.

For each past performance contract, provide the following information:

a. Contract Types: Compare the contract type of the past performance contract to the contract type of this solicitation’s effort.

b. Total Dollar Amounts: Compare the total dollar amount of the past performance contract to the total proposed dollar amount of this solicitation’s effort.

c. Dollar Amounts Actually Performed: Compare the dollar amount of the effort actually performed by the offeror or principal team member under the past performance contract to the dollar amount of the effort proposed to be performed by the offeror or principal team member under this solicitation’s effort.

d. Locations and Divisions: Compare the location and division of the company that performed the past performance contract effort to the location and division of the company that is proposed to perform this solicitation’s effort.

e. Period of Performances: Compare the period of performance of the past performance contract to the period of performance actually performed under that past performance contract for the offeror or principal team member.

f. Compare Similarities: Compare the similarity of the product or service actually performed by the offeror or principal team member under the past performance contract to the product or service proposed to be performed by the offeror or principal team member under this solicitation’s effort in the following areas:

(1) Scope

(2) Magnitude

(3) Complexity

2.4 Demonstrated Performance Information of the Past Performance Contract

a. For each past performance contract, the offeror shall provide available CPARS and Past Performance Questionnaires that address the following demonstrated past performance areas:

(1) Quality of Product or Service.

The offeror’s past performance in the delivery of quality supplies and services, which includes meeting technical requirements.

(2) Schedule.

The offeror’s past performance in meeting schedule requirements, to include on-time or late deliveries, modifications of original schedules.

(3) Cost Control.

The offeror’s past performance in controlling contract costs, to include the cost of performance, cost overruns, and cost underruns.

(4) Program Management and Subcontract Management.

The offeror’s past performance in managing the contracted effort, to include program management, subcontract management, and cooperation with the customer.

b. The government will use CPARS and Past Performance Questionnaires to document demonstrated past performance. The government does not want to receive, and will not use for evaluation, an offeror’s self-described assertions of demonstrated past performance. For the CPARS and Past Performance Questionnaires provided, however, explain the reasons for any past performance problems, as well as schedule slips and cost or price increases from the schedule and cost or price at time of award. Also, describe any claims or requests for equitable adjustment.

c. For any past performance problem identified in the CPARS or Past Performance Questionnaires, describe the status of the problem. If the problem is likely to happen again, describe the impact that the offeror’s implemented improvement effort had on resolving the problem so that it would not happen again. Describe the resolution used to correct the past performance problem and, if applicable, how the offeror proposes to use that resolution for this solicitation’s effort.

The offeror shall include the following information in this volume:

a. Signed Standard Form 33 for basic solicitation and each amendment.

b. Assumptions, Conditions, Exceptions, Deviations or Waivers: Assumptions, conditions, exceptions, deviations, and requests for waivers may cause proposals to be considered deficient and, thus, not awardable. If there are no assumptions, conditions, exceptions, deviations or waivers, the offeror shall provide a statement stating that the proposal contains no assumptions, conditions, exceptions, deviations or waivers.
