SECTION SF 30 BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following items are applicable to this modification:

AMENDMENT 0002

The purpose of Amendment 0002 is to revise the following:

1. Revise Section L, Part B, Paragraph 2.4.1(b) from “Past performance contracts with CPARS Reports completed by the Assessing Official more than six months prior to the RFP’s release date where contract performance is still ongoing.” to “Past performance contracts with CPARS Reports completed by the Assessing Official whose evaluation period is more than six months prior to the RFP’s release date where contract performance is still ongoing.”

2. Provide a copy of the planning DD-254 for which the finalized version will become Attachment 8 at contract award.

3. Add provision 52.229-11 to Section K.

4. Revise Section B, Note 3 from “Actual delivery order CLIN pricing will be established at the time of delivery order award and will be reflected in the individual delivery order. Catalog pricing, IAW Section J Attachment 3, will be utilized for new orders when pricing has been established. Orders that contain negotiated costs, see Section H.1.4 for further description, will be priced and negotiated on an individual delivery orders basis.” to “Actual delivery order CLIN pricing will be established at the time of delivery order award and will be reflected in the individual delivery order. Catalog pricing, IAW Section J Attachment 3, will be utilized for new orders when pricing has been established. Orders that contain negotiated costs will be priced and negotiated on an individual delivery orders basis.”

5. Revise Section L, Part B, Paragraph 2.5.2 (second paragraph) from “A conformed contract includes the contract document that incorporates all modifications through the proposal submission date and is dated and signed by all parties. The Government will not evaluate standalone modification documents. These documents should be included in Annex A (Supporting Documentation for Past Performance). For contract references where the Offeror, JV Team Member, or principal subcontractor performed as a subcontractor, the Offeror, JV Team Member or principal subcontractor shall also provide a complete electronic copy of the SOW or PWS or other documentation of the agreement between the prime and subcontractor that clearly defines the portions of the work effort of the Prime’s SOW/PWS that the Offeror, JV Team Member, or principal subcontractor performed as a subcontractor” to “A conformed contract includes the contract document that incorporates all modifications through the proposal submission date and is dated and signed by all parties. In the event that a Contracting Agency is unable to provide a signed conformed copy, the reference will only be considered if the Contracting Officer of the Past Performance reference sends an email to the Solicitation Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist (David Kors and Duane Drury) stating that the unsigned conformed copy is valid. The e-mail must include the contract reference’s modification number and date, which must match the reference provided by the Offeror. The Offeror is responsible for providing the unsigned conformed copy as part of its proposal and shall indicate in Attachment PP-2 block 4 that the PP reference PCO has provided the information required by this paragraph. The email from the PP PCO must be received by the proposal receipt date. The Government will not evaluate standalone modification documents. These documents should be included in Annex A (Supporting Documentation for Past Performance). For contract references where the Offeror, JV Team Member, or principal subcontractor performed as a subcontractor, the Offeror, JV Team Member or principal subcontractor shall also provide a complete electronic copy of the SOW or PWS or other documentation of the agreement between the prime and subcontractor that clearly defines the portions of the work effort of the Prime’s SOW/PWS that the Offeror, JV Team Member, or principal subcontractor performed as a subcontractor.”

6. Revise Section L, Part A, Paragraph 4.2 to add “The Solicitation Module will only allow a total of 1.9 Gigabytes (GB) inclusive of all files to be uploaded to the module. If an Offeror anticipates their submission to be larger than 1.9 GB, the Offeror must coordinate at least 3 business days in advance with the Solicitation Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist (David Kors and Duane Drury). Proposals that are rejected by the Solicitation Module will not be considered by the Government. Therefore, Offerors should consider submitting proposals in advance of the deadline.”

7. Revise the following portions of Section L and M to allow for submission of either a DVD or Blu-ray to meet the Stress Test Demonstration requirement:

a. Section L, Part A, Table G-2, Row 1b: Revise “DVD” to “DVD/Blu-ray”

b. Section L, Part B, Paragraph 1.1.2: Revise “DVD video” to “DVD/Blu-ray video” in 2 locations

c. Section M, Part II, Paragraph A 1.1: Revise “DVD” to “DVD/Blu-ray”

8. Revise the NAICS code to 333310. NAICS 333318 is no longer active.

SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION B - SUPPLIES OR SERVICES AND PRICES

The following have been modified:

SECTION B

SECTION B

Note 1:

This is a single award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) contract with the ordering period as set forth in Section F. The Terms, Conditions, and Requirements herein apply to each Delivery Order (DO) unless otherwise stated.

Note 2:

The Contract Line Items (CLINs) above represent the contract types for the Navigation, Seamanship, and Ship- Handling (NSS) Training Systems requirements in accordance with the NSS Statement of Work (SOW) 210023.

Delivery Orders may have additional CLINs due to:

1. Government accounting procedures:

2. Delivery Order specific requirements which may include but are not limited to:

a. Technical Data

b. Provisioned Item Orders (PIOs)

c. Over and Above Work Requests (OAWRs)

d. Travel and Similar Reimbursable Expenses

Note 3:

Actual delivery order CLIN pricing will be established at the time of delivery order award and will be reflected in the individual delivery order. Catalog pricing, IAW Section J Attachment 3, will be utilized for new orders when pricing has been established. Orders that contain negotiated costs will be priced and negotiated on an individual delivery orders basis.

Note 4:

The total dollar ceiling for the overall contract inclusive of all delivery orders issued under the NSST ID/IQ contract is $179,600,000.00. Initial contract line item (CLIN) value allocations represent projected award/types based upon historical and programmed requirements as of contract award. The Government reserves the right to reallocate value across the CLINs as necessary, throughout the ordering period, to accommodate requirements received.

Note 5:

The number listed for “Max Quantity” in Section B for each CLIN does not represent an actual quantity to be ordered during execution. Rather, the “Max Quantity” multiplied by a “Unit Price” of $1.00 for each CLIN will represent the ceiling price of the IDIQ when CLIN’s 1001 and 1002 are summed. The “Max Amount” for each CLIN represents an estimate of the contract type that may be executed. However, any amount for each CLIN may be executed as long as the ceiling price of the total IDIQ contract is not exceeded.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

SECTION L

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, expertise, and capability as required by the solicitation. Proposals must demonstrate that the Offeror has an understanding of all requirements and associated risks and is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet all requirements. The Offeror shall not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The burden of proof for all substantiation within the proposal rests with the Offeror. Offerors are advised that the Government may incorporate any part of the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the Government, into the final contract. Price information (e.g., dollar values and/or hourly rates) shall appear only in Volume 3, Attachment L-2 (Price / Administration) and Volume 4 Small Business, Attachments L-3 and L-4 (Small Business Participation Commitment Document). Alternate or streamlined proposals are not acceptable.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to present enough information to allow the Government to evaluate its proposal. Unsubstantiated statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can or will comply with the specifications, or paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof are considered inadequate and may render a rating of unacceptable.

The Offeror shall include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. There is no need to repeat information in more than one volume. The detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas if an overlap exists. Do not provide elaborate brochures or other presentation material beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal.

Offerors are expected to comply with all requirements of the RFP. The Government advises Offerors that taking exception to or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable and the Offeror ineligible for award.

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 when the prime contractor consists of more than one legal entity. “JV Team Members” are the entities that make up a Joint Venture.

A “principal subcontractor” is defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 20% of the proposed total price. The term “entity” is used to mean any or all of the following: prime contractor, JV, JV team members, any subcontractor, and corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate (e.g., any contractor with a different CAGE Code/DUNS than the Offeror).

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND SUBMISSION

2.1 Electronic Submission of Proposals

This section is intended to provide information to the Offerors on the electronic format and application software to be used for submitting proposals. Use of the software and procedures described in this section will reduce the amount of time and effort needed to receive and upload proposals and will ensure the proposals received are suitable for reading electronically during evaluation.

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. Graphs and tables 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. Graphs and Tables that fit on an 8.5” X 14” printed page will be counted as one page. Drawing may be of any size and will count as one page. Graphic resolution, including such data as tables or charts, should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented. When using Government supplied templates, no modifications to font or scaling is required. All proposal documents must be compatible with Microsoft Office 2016 and/or the latest Adobe Acrobat Reader Portable Document Format (PDF), where applicable. No active scripts or macros shall be imbedded in any files.

The Offeror is responsible for ensuring electronic proposals are virus free and shall run an anti-virus scan before submission. Offerors may use hyperlinks within and among proposal volumes that do not include price information. However, there shall be no links from any other volume into the Price Volume or into any other portion of the proposal that contains price information. In order to reduce file sizes, the Offeror shall not embed sound or video (e.g., MPEG) files within the proposal submission. The Offeror is encouraged to simplify the color palette used in creating figures; and minimize size of graphics files; and avoid scanned images.

The Offeror shall keep the portions of the proposal that contain pricing information in separate files from the portions of the proposal that do not contain pricing information. Price information

(e.g., dollar values and/or hourly rates) shall appear only in Volume 3, Attachment L-2 (Price / Administration) and Volume 4 Small Business, Attachments L-3 and L-4 (Small Business Participation Commitment Document).

Table G-2 (Proposal Structure) in Section L, Part A, 3.0 identifies the proposal structure for each volume. Each file shall contain a title page clearly marked with the Offeror's name and address, the point of contact's name and phone number, the proposal volumes contained therein, and “Source Selection Information – See FAR 2.101 and 3.104”.

2.2 File Naming Conventions

Valid extensions for files using their associated applications are listed below in Table G-1 (file Extensions):

Table G-1 File Extensions

Type of Application/Files Valid Extensions Portable Document Files .pdf Microsoft Word documents .docx Microsoft Excel documents .xlsx Microsoft Power Point .pptx

The Offeror shall follow the basic structure of the file naming convention in Table G-2 (Proposal Structure) for electronic file submissions (e.g., proposal volumes, attachments, appendices), where "#" represents the sequential numbering of files. Offeror’s shall keep the file name as short as possible (i.e., under 40 characters) so that the files are accessible on Government share drives. Files with longer names may become corrupt or inaccessible.

The Offeror shall provide one folder for each volume or annex, containing all electronic files requested within the volume or annex. Please submit each volume or annex as one file if possible. Offerors should not provide each section/paragraph as separate files. Zip files are not allowed.

3.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT AND VOLUMES

The Offeror must present its proposal information in a manner that facilitates a one for one comparison between the information presented and Section L proposal instructions. Proposal information must be structured such that its paragraph numbers and/or letters correspond to the proposal instructions paragraph numbers/letters, although the Offeror may add lower tier sub paragraphs.

Each volume and annex of the proposal shall be submitted electronically as specified in Table G- 2 (Proposal Structure) per the instruction provided in Section 4.0 (Submission and Packaging).

Offerors shall not submit more pages than the maximum page count identified in Table G-2 (Proposal Structure). The title and table of contents pages, as well as any drawings or spreadsheets, are not included in the maximum page count.

4.0 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

4.1 All proposals shall be UNCLASSIFIED. The submission date for all Volumes of the proposal shall be no later than the date and time specified in Block 9 of Standard Form 33 (Solicitation, Offer and Award) of the solicitation. Offerors are hereby notified that the Government will not reimburse for any costs incurred for solicitation preparation. Proposals shall be valid for 270 days from the proposal due date.

4.2 All volumes of the proposal shall be submitted electronically, with the exception of the technology demonstration media required at Section L Part B 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, through the Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) at https://piee.eb.mil. No other submissions are authorized by the solicitation. For instructions on how to post an offer, please refer to the Posting Offer demo:

https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/sol/Posting_Offer.pdf.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to follow the registration instructions found on the PIEE website.

It is advised that all potential prime Offerors and their subcontractors ensure the proper company points of contact are registered in the site based on their CAGE codes and have the proper roles assigned well in advance of the solicitation closing date. Subcontractors are only required to register in PIEE if they want to submit their proprietary proposal information separate from the prime offer. Documents submitted by the subcontractor directly to the Government must have the prime contractor’s name, CAGE Code, and the solicitation number on the first page of the document.

The Solicitation Module will only allow a total of 1.9 Gigabytes (GB) inclusive of all files to be uploaded to the module.
