A notice of disapproval shall cite reasons for the disapproval.

(c) If the first article is disapproved, the Contractor, upon Government request, shall repeat any or all first article tests. After each request for additional tests, the Contractor shall make any necessary changes, modifications, or repairs to the first article or select another first article for testing. All costs related to these tests are to be borne by the Contractor, including any and all costs for additional tests following a disapproval.

c. Description of achievements for the most recent period for which performance measures have been applied to each contract. The performance measures should be specific and show the target performance levels that are set forth under the applicable contracts as well as the level of performance achieved. The Offeror shall describe the tools and/or methods used to collect metrics data and the frequency of data collection and reporting.

If the Offeror cites as a past performance reference a contract that was not awarded to the Offeror as a Prime Contractor but is nevertheless cited by the Offeror as "past performance information regarding predecessor companies, Key Personnel who have relevant experience, or subcontractors that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement [FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iii)]," the proposal shall demonstrate the relevance of the efforts of such predecessor company, Key Personnel and subcontractor both to the overall performance rating of the cited reference contract or Task Order as well as to the instant requirement.

2.5 VOLUME II – PRICE PROPOSAL

Volume II – Price Proposal shall consist of Factor 3, Total Evaluated Price as detailed below.

FACTOR 3: TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE

Offerors shall submit a complete price proposal, which addresses all information required to evaluate the pricing proposed for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), except CLIN 0002, including pricing within CLIN 0001, 0003 and Option CLINs 1001-4001 and 1002-4002. The price proposal shall be a separate volume from the technical (non-price) proposal. It is expected that the resulting contract will be awarded based upon a determination that there is adequate price competition; therefore, the Offeror is not required to submit or certify cost and/or pricing data with their proposal, however data other than certified cost data or pricing data is required to be submitted. If after receipt of proposals, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition does not exist in accordance with FAR 15.403-1 or that only one offer is received, the Offeror shall provide certified cost and/or pricing data as requested by the Contracting Officer.

The price and cost summaries provided in Volume II must not conflict with the data submitted in Section B schedules. In the event of a discrepancy, prices found in the filled-out Section B shall be utilized.

Volume II shall contain the Offeror’s understanding of and approach to the pricing requirements of the solicitation.

The pricing portion of the proposal shall include:

a. Pricing spreadsheets for all CLINs, for all items (with options) as described in Section B. Spreadsheets shall be in Microsoft Excel format with cells containing working formulas that are visible for Government examination of price buildup and methodology.

b. Basis of Estimate (BOE) narrative in Microsoft Word for each CLIN. The BOE narrative shall include estimating methodologies for each proposed priced CLIN.

Pricing Support Information:

Offerors shall provide the following information in support of all Section B Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) CLINs requiring pricing, inclusive of all option items:

a. The Offeror shall submit its price summaries in accordance with the Offeror’s accounting structure for the first unit of each FFP line item. The Offeror’s proposal shall provide complete visibility by calendar year

(or the Offeror’s calendar year) labor hours, labor costs, material costs, other direct costs, indirect costs, and profit. The Offeror shall provide detailed analysis to support the proposed FFP pricing at each quantity amount and the adjustments made from the first unit pricing (i.e. production labor learning reductions, quantity reductions, escalation.

b. For each major subcontract the Offeror shall provide a list which includes:

i. Subcontractor name, address, email, and telephone number;

ii. Subcontractor CAGE code;

iii. Description of supplies/services to be subcontracted;

iv. Information as to whether the subcontractor has held any Government contracts/subcontracts;

v. Place(s) of contract performance;

vi. Estimated dollar amount of the subcontract;

vii. Type of contract (FFP, Cost Plus Fixed Fee, etc.);

viii. Basis for determining that the proposed subcontractor pricing is fair and reasonable.

c. Provide any price estimating methodology applied to generate pricing. This includes, but is not limited to, price interpolation, escalation, curving, etc.;

d. Any inconsistency, whether real or apparent, between proposed performance and actual performance for similar work (cost and schedule), shall be explained in the proposal. For example, if the intended use of new and innovative production techniques is the basis for an abnormally low estimate or short manufacturing schedule, the nature of these techniques and their impact on cost shall be explained or, if a corporate policy decision has been made to absorb a portion of the estimated cost, that shall be stated in the proposal. Any significant inconsistency, if unexplained, may be grounds for determining that the proposal is unacceptable. The burden of proof as to cost credibility rests with the Offeror.

SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN: Large Business Offerors under the applicable NAICS code are required to submit a Subcontracting Plan in accordance with L-219-H001 SUBMISSION OF SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019).

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

The following have been modified:

SECTION M

EVALUATION FACTORS

1.0 GENERAL INFORMATION

The Government intends to award a single contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal offers the lowest total evaluated price while meeting or exceeding the acceptability standards for all non-price factors.

All, some, or none of the options may be exercised by the Government at its sole discretion. Offerors are required to price all Contract Line Item Number (CLINs) not categorized as Not Separately Priced (NSP).

The Government will evaluate each Offeror’s understanding of the Government’s requirements and ability to perform the work. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to provide information and evidence which clearly demonstrates its ability to satisfactorily perform the contract requirements as stated in the solicitation.

Each factor will be evaluated on a stand-alone basis; however, information contained in one factor of the proposal may be used to assist the Government in evaluating other factors of the proposal.

If it is determined that an offer is not in compliance with the page limitation of the volume of the proposal, Offerors are cautioned that pages above the specified page limit within each volume will be removed and will not be evaluated. Proposals that are not submitted in compliance to the hard-copy and electronic-copy requirements specified in Section L may also be subject to elimination.

2.0 EVALUATION FACTORS

The Government will evaluate each proposal in accordance with the below factors and subfactors.

Factor 1 – Technical Approach (Volume I)

Subfactor 1: Production Assembly in Accordance With the SOW and TDP Subfactor 2: First Article and Factory Acceptance Testing in Accordance With TDP Subfactor 3: Physical Assets to be Used in Production and Testing

Factor 2 – Past Performance (Volume I)

Factor 3 – Total Evaluated Price (Volume II)

3.0 EVALUATION METHODOLOGY

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH (Volume I)

The following subfactors will be evaluated to determine acceptability for Factor 1.

Subfactor 1: Production Assembly in Accordance With the SOW and TDP

Offerors will be evaluated on their understanding of all aspects of the TDP and demonstrated ability to apply that knowledge toward meeting the requirements of this solicitation based on demonstrated technical expertise.

Evaluation will consider the following:

1. The Offeror’s proposed Configuration Management (CM) process will be evaluated to determine the level of process documentation and the application of CM in support of, at a minimum, SOW para 3.10.1.3; to determine the Offeror’s understanding of the CM requirements for this acquisition, and to determine whether the Offeror’s CM process and experience on programs of similar size and complexity to the requirements in this solicitation.

2. The Offeror’s proposed process and experience managing engineering changes or deviations to the TDP and controlling the insertion of those changes into the production line will be evaluated to determine the Offeror’s demonstrated ability to understand and address engineering changes and updated production requirements. In addition, the Offeror will be evaluated on its approach in updating production line and processes.

3. The Offeror’s proposed Quality Assurance (QA) Plan and FACAR system will be evaluated to verify that it is ANSI/ASQC Q9001 or ISO 9001 or equivalent, certified, to determine the level of process documentation and the level of compliance.

4. The Offeror’s proposed Diminishing Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortages (DMSMS) management process will be evaluated on its compliance with DoD Instruction (DoDI) 5000.02, “Operation of the Defense

Acquisition System, Enclosure 6; Public Law 113-66, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, dated 26 December 2013; and SD-22 – DMSMS.

Subfactor 2: First Article and Factory Acceptance Testing in Accordance With TDP

Offerors will be evaluated on their complete understanding of all aspects of associated plans and procedures. The Offeror will be evaluated on the adequacy and availability of proposed human resources and their disciplines, facilities, physical test space area, test fixtures, test software and test equipment, as it pertains to the ability to understand test requirements and to successfully perform FAT and demonstrate the product meets TDP compliance.

Subfactor 3: Physical Assets to be Used in Production and Testing

Offerors will be evaluated on the adequacy and availability of proposed human resources and their disciplines, production and test facilities, physical production and test space work area, production and test fixtures, test software and test equipment, as it pertains to the ability to demonstrate an acceptable approach and plan for passing Production Readiness Reviews and infrastructure for manufacturing and testing capability and capacity to meeting the solicitation requirements at maximum production levels. Production and schedule requirements shall assume maximum quantities including all options.

FACTOR 1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH (Volume I)

Factor 1, Technical Approach (and related subfactors) will be characterized as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” as follows:

Adjectival Rating Description

“ACCEPTABLE” Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

“UNACCEPTABLE” Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

FACTOR 2-PAST PERFORMANCE (Volume II)

The Past Performance Evaluation is an assessment of the Offeror’s probability of meeting the minimum past performance solicitation requirements. This assessment is based on the Offeror’s record of relevant and recent past performance information that pertain to the product and/or services outlined in the solicitation.

Past performance will be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.305 and DFARS 215.305. However, the comparative assessment in FAR 15.305(a)(2)(i) does not apply. Therefore, past performance will be rated on an “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” basis as follows:

Evaluation Determination Description

“ACCEPTABLE” Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offeror’s performance record is unknown.

“UNACCEPTABLE” Based on the Offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Past performance will be initially evaluated to determine whether the Offeror’s present/past performance is recent, and relevant or not relevant, to the effort. For the purposes of this solicitation, recency is defined as projects completed within three years prior to the closing date of the solicitation. Common aspects of the relevancy include, but are not limited to, the following: similarity of the product/service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and extent of subcontracting/teaming to the solicitation.

Second, the past performance evaluation will determine how well the Offeror performed on the prior contracts.

NOTE: In the case of an Offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonable assigned, the Offeror may not be evaluated favorable or unfavorable on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the Offeror shall be determined to have unknown (“Neutral”) past performance. In the context of the acceptability, a neutral rating shall be considered “Acceptable.”

FACTOR 3 – TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE (Volume II)

The Total Evaluated Price Evaluation Factor will not be characterized as “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable”. The Government will perform cost/price analysis techniques on the Offeror’s proposed prices. For purposes of making an award decision, the Government will arrive at a Total Evaluated Price by adding the total price for all CLINs.

Priced offers will be evaluated for reasonableness and appropriateness of' proposed amounts and for the Offerors understanding of the proposal requirements.

The inclusion of option prices in arriving at a "Total Evaluated Price" does not obligate the Government to exercise all or any part of the options. The Government may reject an offer as materially unbalanced if prices for the basic requirement or prices for the option quantities are unreasonable in comparison to each other. An unbalanced offer or proposal is one that is based on prices significantly less than cost for some work and/or significantly overstated for other work.

SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN: This applies to Large Business Offerors only. Offerors required to submit a Subcontracting Plan in accordance with L-219-H001 SUBMISSION OF SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (NAVSEA) (JAN 2019) will be reviewed to determine compliance with FAR 52.219-9 (Deviation 2018-O0018) and the five percent (5%) goal for small disadvantaged business concerns or a detailed explanation as to why the goal cannot be included in the plan. Proposals that fail to include a compliant Subcontracting Plan will be ineligible for contract award.

4.0 BASIS FOR AWARD

The Contract will be awarded to the technically acceptable Offeror with the lowest Total Evaluated Price or LPTA.

An “Unacceptable” determination for any factor or subfactor will result in an “Unacceptable” proposal.
