CLARIFICATIONS/QUESTIONS

Contractors are required to review the entire solicitation package before submitting questions. Submit all questions via one document using Attachment J-6, Pre-award Inquiry Form, by E-mail to Barkley Brown (barkley.k.brown.civ@us.navy.mil) no later than no later than 2:00 P.M. Norfolk, VA local time on 18 26 MARCH 2024. The Government does not intend to respond to any pre-proposal inquiries submitted after 2:00 P.M. Norfolk, VA local time on 26 MARCH 2024 order to permit adequate time to reply to the inquiries. This is the most efficient way to ensure all questions are addressed in a timely manner.

L.3 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) FILES

Solicitations are posted to the Opportunities (https://www.sam.gov) website. By necessity, these files are protected to prevent unauthorized editing. It is the sole responsibility of the Offeror to obtain the RFP files, along with any amendments, from the Opportunities Website.

L.4 GENERAL PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

The price proposal and non-price proposals shall be submitted in separate three-ring binders and tabbed appropriately. Binders must be marked as “Volume I: Price Proposal” and “Volume II: Non-Price Proposal”. Should there be a discrepancy between paper and electronic information, the paper copies shall govern.

Elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired. Elaborate artwork and expensive visual or other presentation aids are not necessary. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, relevance, and completeness are of prime importance.

L.5 EVALUATION FACTORS

1. The solicitation requires the evaluation of price and the following non-cost/price factors:

Factor 1 - Corporate Experience Factor 2 - Technical/Management Approach Factor 3 - Safety Factor 4 - Small Business Utilization and Participation Factor 5 - Past Performance

The distinction between experience and past performance is that experience pertains to the volume of work completed by a contractor that are comparable to the types of work described under the definition of recent, relevant projects, in terms of size, scope, and complexity. Past performance pertains to both the relevance of recent efforts and how well a contractor has performed on the contracts.

2. The relative order of importance of the non-price evaluation factors is the technical factors, Factors 1, 2, 3, and 4, are of equal importance to each other and, when combined are equal in importance to the past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment factor, Factor 5. When the proposal is evaluated as a whole, the technical factors and past performance/performance confidence assessment factor combined (i.e., the non-cost/price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-cost/price proposals are considered essentially equal in terms of overall quality, or if price is so high as to significantly diminish the value of a non-cost/price proposal’s superiority to the Government. Award will be made to the responsible Offeror(s) whose offer conforms to the solicitation and represents the best value to the Government, price and non-price factors considered.

3. Basis of Evaluation and Submittal Requirements for Each Factor.

However, the quantities listed in Attachment B- Schedule of Services are estimates only and will not be ordered with the award of the basic contract. Actual quantities ordered over the duration of the contract are expected to vary and are not limited to those estimated in Attachment B- Schedule of Services of Services and shall not exceed the total contract not-to-exceed amount of $95,000,000.00 (base period and all option years).

NAVFAC’s command-wide small business subcontracting targets are shown below. These may be higher or lower than percentages that would represent realistic, challenging, small business subcontracting goals for this acquisition consistent with efficient and effective performance of the contract. These targets are based on a percentage of total planned subcontract dollars.

(Tab 4) Factor 4 - Small Business Utilization and Participation

It is the policy of the Government to provide maximum practicable opportunities in its acquisitions to Small Business (SB) concerns, including Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone SB), Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), and other small business concerns. Further, it is the policy of the Government that such concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance.

This Factor assesses both the historical achievements in utilizing small business concerns and the proposed small business participation commitment for this requirement. The offeror is required to demonstrate its previous commitment to SBs through its record of past utilization of SBs and the level of commitment to small business if awarded a contract under this solicitation.

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements:

1. All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment J-3 (Historical Small Business Utilization) to demonstrate their historical utilization of SBs. Each project submitted under, shall be included on Attachment J-3. Failure to include each project submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience, on Attachment J-3, or the failure to fully complete Attachment J-3 for each project may result in a deficiency. Only complete Attachment J-3. Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated. Attachments or addendums to Attachment J-3 will not be evaluated. Offerors are permitted to expand portions of the form, as needed, to provide sufficient response. Instructions regarding how to complete Attachment J-3 are included at the beginning of the attachment.

2. All Offerors (large, non-profits, AND small businesses) shall use Attachment J-4 (Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) to submit the following required information for evaluation of this factor:

• To demonstrate commitment to use small business concerns in the performance of this contract, identify by name the subcontractors that will be used to support each small business category, including SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, and SDVOSBs. s Identify the type and complexity of product/service to be subcontracted, and the type of commitment (i.e., teaming agreement, joint venture agreement, mentor protégé agreement, letter of commitment, etc.) with each subcontractor.

o If subcontractors are not identified by name, offerors shall provide a detailed explanation why subcontractors are not identified. If firm written commitments with SBs are not in place, offerors shall provide an explanation and rationale on the ability to achieve the proposed participation. (See Attachment J-4, paragraph 5) o If a LB offeror does not intend to subcontract, provide a detailed explanation why subcontracting would not result in efficient contract performance. SBs intending to 100% self-perform are not required to provide an explanation. (See Attachment J-4, paragraph 6)

• To demonstrate maximum practicable participation of small businesses, identify (in terms of dollar value and percentage of the total contract value) the offeror’s proposed small business participation. The minimum required small business participation (i.e. work to be performed by small business as the prime contractor and/or work to be performed by small business subcontractors) is 20%. Offerors who are not able to meet the minimum total small business participation requirement of 20% (of the total contract value) shall provide a detailed explanation why the minimum total small business participation requirement cannot be achieved.

• Only complete Attachment J-4, Information provided in a different format and/or on a form created by the offeror will not be evaluated. Attachments or addendums to Attachment J-4, will not be evaluated.

• Large business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through subcontracting to small businesses.

• Small business offerors may achieve the minimum total small business participation requirement through their own performance/participation as a prime as well as through a joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or subcontracting with other small business concerns.

(Tab 5) Factor 5 - Past Performance

(i) Solicitation Submittal Requirements: Submit a completed CPARS evaluation for each contract action submitted under Factor 1, Corporate Experience. IF A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION IS AVAILABLE, IT SHALL BE SUBMITTED WITH THE PROPOSAL. IF THERE IS NOT A COMPLETED CPARS EVALUATION, the Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ) included in the solicitation is provided for the offeror or its team members to submit to the client for each project the offeror includes in its proposal for Factor 1, Corporate Experience. AN OFFEROR SHALL NOT SUBMIT A PPQ WHEN A COMPLETED CPARS IS

AVAILABLE.

IF A CPARS EVALUATION IS NOT AVAILABLE, ensure correct phone numbers and email addresses are provided for the client point of contact. Completed PPQs should be submitted with your proposal. If the offeror is unable to obtain a completed PPQ from a client for a project(s) before proposal closing date, the offeror should complete and submit with the proposal the first page of the PPQ (Attachment J-1), which will provide contract and client information for the respective project(s). Offerors should follow-up with clients/references to ensure timely submittal of questionnaires. If the client requests, questionnaires may be submitted directly to the Government's point of contact, Barkley Brown, via email at barkley.k.brown.civ@us.navy.mil prior to proposal closing date. Offerors shall not incorporate by reference into their proposal PPQs or CPARS previously submitted for other RFPs. However, this does not preclude the Government from utilizing previously submitted PPQ information in the past performance evaluation.

Also include performance recognition documents received within the last five (5) years such as awards, award fee determinations, customer letters of commendation, and any other forms of performance recognition.

Sources of Past Performance Information for evaluation that may be used are as follows:

- Past performance information provided by the offeror, as solicited;

- Past performance information obtained from questionnaires tailored to the circumstances of the acquisition; and

- Past performance information obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

While the Government may elect to consider data from other sources, the burden of providing detailed, current, accurate, and complete past performance information rests with the Offeror. The Government will not review or consider certificates of appreciation or other performance recognition documents.

A copy of the blank Past Performance Questionnaire to be used for requesting client references is included as Attachment J-1.

L.7 DISPOSITION OF PROPOSALS

Proposals from unsuccessful offerors will not be returned to the offeror, but shall be destroyed by the Contracting Officer. No certificate of destruction will be issued.
