L.2 PRE-AWARD INQUIRIES/REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP) INFORMATION/

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 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.

L.6 PRICE AND NON-PRICE PROPOSAL SUBMITTAL REQUIREMENTS

In accordance with FAR 19.7, all other than small businesses shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan (SBSP) utilizing the template provided as Attachment J-5.

The SBSP shall be negotiated and/or accepted within the time specified by the Contracting Officer. Failure to negotiate an acceptable subcontracting plan within the time limit prescribed by the Contracting Officer will render the offeror ineligible for award of the contract. The SBSP will be incorporated into the resulting contract.

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.

Small Business (SB) 40% Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) 5% HUBZone SB 3% Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) 9% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) 5%

Please note that SBSP goals and the small business participation requirements provided in the Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) WILL NOT be the same. The small business participation requirements within the SBPCD are provided as percentages of the total contract value; subcontract plan goals are provided as a percentage of planned subcontracting dollars. While the percentages will differ, the types of products/services identified in the SBSP, should be the same as those products/services identified in the SBPCD.

Likewise, the planned small business subcontract dollars in the SBSP will be equal to (or in some cases greater than) the extent of small business participation identified in the SBPCD.
