B.3 STREAMLINED ORDERING FOR COST-PLUS FIXED FEE TERM LOE ORDERS

LOE Orders will be issued under this contract using the following streamlined ordering procedures:

1. For each proposed order, the contracting officer will provide the contractor with a Task Order (TO) and an Independent Government Cost Estimate (IGCE). The IGCE is an estimate of labor hours by labor category utilizing the estimated and negotiated Burdened Labor rates Table below to calculate the total estimated cost for the proposed TO. The TO fixed fee is calculated using Section H Clause 5252.232-9510 PAYMENT OF FIXED FEE (NAVAIR).

1. These Composite rates are estimates, and invoicing will be based on actual costs incurred. Ceiling for Other Direct Costs (ODCs) will be priced in accordance with the Government estimate. TOs crossing multiple years will be estimated by the Government using the composite rates for each year in proportion to the period of performance of the TO.

1. Requirements for contractor response:

1. If the contractor agrees that it can perform the TO within the parameters of the IGCE, the contractor shall sign and return the DD1155 to the contracting officer within three (3) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE. If the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contactor.

1. If the contractor does not agree with the TO and/or IGCE, the contractor shall submit a proposal to the contracting officer within five (5) working days of receipt of the TO and IGCE, addressing only the specific areas of difference in labor categories and/or hours in the IGCE. Once the differences are resolved between the contracting officer and the contractor, and the requirement remains valid, a priced order will be issued to the contractor.

1. If the contractor fails to respond to the proposed order within five (5) working days of receipt of the TO, the contracting officer may unilaterally issue the TO or extend the deadlines above when in the best interest of the Government.

(iii) For CPFF CLINs, the Prime contractor’s maximum fixed fee rate to be applied to a CLIN’s estimated cost ceiling amount is (to be completed by the offeror – insert percentage)% and the Prime contractor’s maximum fixed fee rate to be applied to subcontractor efforts is (to be completed by the offeror – insert percentage)%. These percentages shall be used to determine the Fixed Fee dollar amounts on issued/awarded task orders. The fixed fee percentages shall apply throughout the duration of the contract (including any options exercised) for all task orders issued and shall not be negotiated on individual task orders. To determine a CPFF CLIN’s fixed fee amount, the government will multiply the CPFF CLIN’s estimated cost ceiling by the fixed fee rate(s), as applicable.

(iv) Contractor shall complete Table B-3 below. Table B-3 shall match rates proposed in Attachment L-C1.

SECTION L

SECTION L

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL.

Section L contains instructions on how to prepare and submit proposals in response to this solicitation. Nonconformance with these instructions may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation and may render a proposal unawardable.

The government intends to award without discussions. Offerors are not to assume that they will be contacted or afforded an opportunity to clarify, discuss, or revise their proposal. Therefore, the initial proposal should contain the Offeror's best terms. However, the government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer (CO) to be necessary. The government will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal. It is the offeror’s responsibility to submit a proposal that enables government evaluators to effectively evaluate the offeror’s proposal. Alternate proposals are not acceptable. In addition, taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the solicitation may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal unawardable, unless the solicitation expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition.

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.

This requirement is 100% set-aside for the small business.

2.0 ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL FORMAT

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.

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 (e.g. Attachment T1, Attachment P1, Attachment P2, Attachment L-C1), no modifications to font or scaling are required. All proposal documents must be fully searchable Adobe Acrobat Reader Portable Document Format (PDF) or spreadsheets compatible with Microsoft Excel and contain no hidden or locked cells, where applicable.

The Offeror is responsible for ensuring electronic proposals are virus free and shall run an anti-virus scan before submission. Offerors may NOT use hyperlinks. 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 burden of providing thorough and complete past performance and systemic improvement information remains with the Offeror.

If the offeror submits a single award Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) as a reference then it may identify up to a maximum of 2 orders under the IDIQ. Those orders in the aggregate will count as one reference. However, orders under a Multiple Award Contract (MAC) will each count as a reference.

If the Offeror proposes past performance of a JV Team member(s) or subcontractor(s), then the Offeror should submit a signed “Release of Adverse Past Performance Authorization Letter(s)” with written consent from the JV Team Member or any proposed subcontractor that authorizes the release of adverse past performance information to the prime offeror or JV POC. If the JV Team Member or subcontractor does not provide an authorization letter, then the Offeror shall provide a POC for the JV Team Member or the subcontractor. The POC information shall include a name, address, phone number, and email address. The Government will contact that POC concerning that JV Team Member’s or subcontractor’s past performance.
