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 - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

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. 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. 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.

3.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT AND VOLUMES

Each volume shall contain the following information:

· Cover and title page

· Title of proposal and proposal volume

· Offeror’s name, address, and CAGE code

· POC name, phone number, and email address

· RFP number

· Table of Contents (The table of contents must provide sufficient detail to enable easy location of important elements)

4.0 ELECTRONIC PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

All volumes of the proposal shall be submitted electronically through the Solicitation Module of the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) at https://piee.eb.mil. No other submissions, such as mail, hand-carried, or other electronic system (e.g., DOD SAFE) are authorized by the solicitation unless specifically authorized by the Contracting Officer pursuant to paragraph 4.1 below. 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 separately from the prime offer. Documents submitted by the subcontractor directly to the Government must have the prime contractor’s name, CAGE, and RFP number on the first page of the document.

It is also the Offeror’s responsibility to confirm receipt of proposals and all electronic communications. Screen shots of the submission should also be taken to validate a submission was accepted in the PIEE system against this solicitation. The Government is not obligated to search for incorrectly submitted proposals in PIEE.

The submission date for all Volumes shall be no later than the date and time specified in Block 9 of the SF 33 of the RFP.

4.1 If there is an unanticipated PIEE System outage within 24 hours of the proposal due date and the outage has interrupted normal Government processes so that proposals cannot be received by the exact time specified in the solicitation, the Contractor shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer. This notification shall occur prior to the proposal submission deadline and shall be made in writing. The notification may be in conjunction with verbal notification, but verbal notification alone shall not be sufficient. The Offeror shall obtain written approval from the Contracting Officer to submit the proposal via an alternate method as shown in paragraph 4.2 or the Contracting Officer may advise the Offeror that the Government will follow the procedures set forth in FAR 15.208(d) for amending the solicitation closing date.

The Government will not search for contract documents to fill gaps in the Offeror’s proposal (such as a missing SOW).

2.4. Narrative. If the Offeror submits a past performance reference for an entity with a CAGE Code other than the CAGE Codes listed in Attachment L-P1, then the Offeror shall provide a written explanation as to how that performance is reflective of the Offeror and any related information, such as corporate acquisition or merger information or information required by 13 CFR 125.11.

The Offeror shall also provide a written explanation of any systemic improvement it would like the government to consider concerning any adverse past performance. Describe the techniques, elements, and tools used to correct problems and, if applicable, how these techniques, elements, and tools may be used for the contract resulting from this solicitation.

The offeror shall include instructions to send completed questionnaires by the date in Block 9 of the SF33, to the Contract Specialist, via email at levi.m.alexander.civ@us.navy.mil.

The offerors shall not submit a PPQ for any past performance reference that has a CPAR.

3.0 VOLUME 3 COST/PRICE

3.1 General.

(c) If the Offeror proposes JV team members or subcontractors to provide labor categories, then the information requested in L.B.3.2 below for those labor categories must either be provided altogether as a single Cost/Price volume, or each entity (e.g. prime contractor, JV team member, subcontractor) may submit separate Cost/Price volumes directly to the Government. The Offeror must ensure all Cost/Price volume information is submitted by the date/time identified in Block 9 of the SF-33.

(d) For proposal preparation purposes a man-year is calculated at 2,080 hours.

3.2 Price/Cost Information:

(a) Pricing Worksheet. The Offeror shall submit its fully completed cost/price proposal utilizing the Attachment L-C1 Pricing Worksheet. The spreadsheet shall be formatted as letter size (8.5 X 11) pages and shall be unprotected and unlocked, with formulas intact to show mathematical operations. The Offeror shall follow the instructions on the Instructions tab. The Offeror’s completed Attachment L-C1 Pricing Worksheet shall detail the fully burdened labor rates for all prime contractor, JV Team Member, and subcontractor personnel. Fully burdened labor rates are defined as direct labor rates plus all applicable burdens, to include indirect rates, and subcontractor pass-through costs where applicable. For subcontractor labor, the fully burdened labor rates shall be inclusive of any pass-through charges (e.g., subcontractor handling, fixed fee on subcontractor labor, etc.) applied by the prime contractor.

The Offeror shall utilize the estimated amounts provided by the Government for ODCs in the ODC tab. The contractor shall propose a fixed ODC burden rate in G.2 that will be applied throughout the life of the contract. If the Offeror chooses not to burden ODCs, then the Offeror shall insert “0” in Clause G.2. The Offeror shall not apply fee to ODCs.

The Offeror shall utilize the estimated amounts provided by the Government for Emerging Projects. The Offeror shall not adjust the estimated amounts.

The Offeror shall propose a firm fixed price for mobilization at each site in the Mobilization tab of Attachment L-C1 Pricing Worksheet.

(b) Narrative. The Offeror shall submit a narrative explaining the basis for the buildup of every fully burdened labor rate (including any direct and indirect rates). In this explanation, the Offeror shall reference the substantiating documentation (e.g. Forward Pricing Rate Agreements (FPRAs), contingent hire letters of intent) for every component of the fully burden labor rate of every labor category at every location. The Government is not soliciting any investments. The Offeror shall substantiate the realism of any rate that appears low. Conversely, the Offeror shall substantiate the reasonableness of any rate that appears high. For example, proposed fully burdened labor costs may be subject to the labor tripwire identified in Section M. The Offeror shall substantiate the use of rates that differ in any amount from DCAA rates and/or payroll verification. The Offeror shall explain how wage and fringe rates meet any applicable CBA rates or prevailing rates established by the Department of Labor. The Offeror shall provide rationale for its escalation rate from year to year for all labor categories and sites.

(c) Substantiating Documentation. The Offeror shall provide documentation substantiating every component of the fully burden labor rate of every labor category at every location (every document referenced in response to L.B.3.2.b. above). This documentation may include the most current DCAA Provisional Billing Rate Approval Letter, DCAA Final Billing Rate Approval Letter, and/or DCAA Forward Pricing Rate Agreement / Recommendations, (FPRA/FPRR) and payroll verification for currently employed proposed personnel.

Payroll verification shall consist of a form containing the title, direct labor rate, and a signed certification by an authorized representative of the company that the information contained in the form is correct. The Offeror shall submit a letter of intent for every contingent hire (an individual who has committed, under a signed letter of intent, inclusive of salary information, to being employed by the Offeror if the Offeror is awarded the contract). The Offeror shall submit, if they exist, Forward Pricing Rate Agreements (FPRAs) (or Forward Pricing Rate Recommendations (FPRRs) if no FPRA exists), Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBAs) and Area Wage Determinations (AWDs) that are applicable to any proposed personnel, even if the Offeror does not rely on those documents to substantiate the proposed rates. The Offeror shall also provide historical /provisional billing rates for indirect rates for the three years preceding the final solicitation release date. If the Offeror elects to claim Cost of Money (COM) as an allowable cost, then the Offeror must submit a COM form and show the calculations of the proposed amount. If a composite rate or other pricing methodology (e.g. cost estimating relationships) is utilized, the Offeror shall demonstrate how those rates were developed.
