SECTION L

L.1 SUBMITTING YOUR PROPOSAL

Offerors shall utilize the Solicitation Module in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) when submitting proposals.

The signature of the Offeror provided in Box 17 of the SF33 agrees, if this offer is accepted within 180 calendar days from the date of receipt of offers specified as the due date in Box 9 of the SF33 or any extended due date, to furnish any or all items upon which the prices are offered at the price set opposite each item, delivered at the designated point(s), within the time specified in the schedule.

Proposals must be received within the PIEE Solicitation Module no later than the date and time identified in block 9 on the SF33.

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

CLARIFICATIONS / QUESTIONS

Submit all questions via one document using Attachment J-4, Pre-award Inquiry Form, by email to Jamie Oyelowo, jamie.l.oyelowo.civ@us.navy.mil, no later than 2:00 p.m. EST on 31 January 2025. The Government will not accept pre-proposal inquiries submitted after 2:00 p.m. EST on 31 January 2025.

The Government is under no obligation to respond to pre-proposal inquiries. As such, submission of pre-proposal inquiries as outlined in section L.2 does not guarantee that the pre-proposal inquiries will be answered.

Contractors are required to review the entire solicitation package before submitting questions. Contractors should ensure that any pre-proposal inquiries are necessary for proposal development in accordance with the solicitation.

L.3 REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) FILES

Solicitation N6247024R0053 will be posted to the Solicitation Module in the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) 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 Solicitation Module in the PIEE Website.

L.4 GENERAL PROPOSAL REQUIREMENTS

Offerors will submit their proposals and all other requested information to the Solicitation Module in the PIEE website.

Elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are not desired. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, and completeness are desired.

L.5 EVALUATION FACTORS

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

Factor 1 – Corporate Experience Factor 2 – Technical/Management Approach Factor 3 – Safety Factor 4 – Small Business Utilization Factor 5 – Past Performance on Recent, Relevant Projects

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 is the technical factors, Factors 1,2,3, 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-price evaluation factors) are approximately equal to price.

The importance of price will increase if the Offerors’ non-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-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.

TAB G. Completed Attachment J-3- Schedule for the base and all option years in U.S. Dollars:

Note: Firm fixed-price task orders will be negotiated for the services required under this contract using the fully burdened labor rates and percent mark-ups for travel and other direct costs proposed under Attachment J-3 Schedule, for the base year and each option year (if exercised). However, the quantities listed in Attachment J-3 Schedule 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 J-3 Schedule and shall not exceed the total contract not-to-exceed amount of $90,000,000.00 (base period and all option years).

a. Offerors shall enter unit prices, percent mark-ups, extended prices and total amounts as indicated on Attachment J-3 Schedule of Services, for the base period and all option years. All labor rates and extended prices shall be rounded to two (2) decimal places and the rounded prices will be used for evaluation purposes.

b. In the event there is a difference between a labor rate and the extended total amount (i.e. Hourly labor rate x estimated hours = extended total) the labor rate will be held to be the intended offer and the extended price and total price will be recomputed accordingly. If the offeror provides a total amount for a labor category(s) listed in Attachment J-3 Schedule of Services, but fails to enter the unit price, the extended price divided by the estimated labor hours will be held to the intended unit price or labor rate.
