SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L

1.0 GENERAL

The term “shall” in this document explicitly means that the Offeror must comply with the statement of work and provide the information requested by this solicitation. Thus the Offeror shall submit all information required by this solicitation. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the Offeror being removed from consideration for award. The Offeror’s proposal shall be based on the requirements contained in this solicitation (including those documents, exhibits, and other attachments to the solicitation identified in Section J). All proposals submitted in response to this solicitation become property of the Government and will not be returned.

The Government may schedule Pre-Award Site Surveys of the facilities identified in any or all Offerors' proposals following the proposal submission date using the SF 1405 (Production) and/or SF 1406 (Quality Assurance).

2.1 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF OFFERS:

The solicitation response will be contained in two separate volumes:

Volume I: Technical (Non-Price) Proposal (Factors 1-2) Volume II: Price Proposal (Factor 3)

For each volume, the number of copies required and the page limits are shown in the table below. Instructions for paper and electronic files are detailed below in paragraphs 2.2.1 and 2.2.2, respectively. Offerors are hereby notified that the content of electronic copies of the proposal must be identical to the original hard copy proposal submitted in response to this solicitation. In the event of discrepancies between the two, the content of the original hard copy will prevail. All data submitted shall be marked unclassified.

2.2 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND DELIVERY:

Volume Title Page Limit Paper Copies

(Org/Copy) Electronic Files on CD-ROM I Technical (Non-Price) Proposal 100 1/0 1/2 II Price Proposal None 1/0 1/2

Offerors must comply with the detailed instructions for the format and content of the proposals. Proposals that do not comply shall be considered nonresponsive and shall render the Offeror ineligible for award. In order to maximize efficiency and minimize the effort involved in the proposal evaluation process, all Offerors shall submit their proposals in accordance with the format presented below.

The title page of each volume shall contain:

Cover and title page Title of proposal and proposal number as applicable Offeror’s name, address, and POC Date of Submittal Solicitation Number – N6339419R0017 Launch Sequencer (LSEQ) for MK 41Vertical Launching System

(VLS)

Volume Number and Title (e.g., Volume I – Technical (Non-Price) Proposal) DUNS Number and CAGE Code of the Offeror

The proposal volumes shall include the following information (as well as using tabs and dividers), which is not included in the page limit:

Title Page Table of Contents (Must provide sufficient detail to enable easy location of important elements) List of Figures List of Tables Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms

Duplicated information within a given factor may be included in full once and referenced thereafter, as long as there is a clear reference to the duplicated information. If the duplicated information is for different evaluation factors, then it must be included in full text individually under each factor.

2.2.1 Paper Format:

Each volume shall be bound separately and shall not exceed the page limitation cited above. Each volume of the proposal shall be bound in three ring binders to permit removal of sections with each major part tabbed. The Offeror’s company name shall appear at the top of each page in the header section. Legibility, clarity, and compliance with the requirements of the solicitation are essential. Failure to provide the requested information may adversely affect the Government’s evaluation of the Offeror.

The material in all volumes of the Offeror’s proposal shall be typed or printed in a font with the type no smaller than size 12 Times New Roman font on standard 8-1/2 by 11-inch paper. Text line spacing shall be one line.

One-inch margins on each side, including top and bottom are required. Text within tables, diagrams, pictorial charts, or graphic material may use 8-point font. Fold-out pages may be used for diagrams, charts or graphic material only and may not exceed 11 inches by 17 inches. Fold-out pages will be counted as two pages; double-sided fold-out pages will be counted as four pages.

Unless otherwise specified, fold out pages may only include narrative sufficient to describe the diagram, chart or graphic material. Every figure and table shall be numbered. Paragraphs shall be clearly formatted. Proposal material shall be presented on double-sided pages only. Each double-sided page counts as two pages.

A date shall be placed on each page of the proposal corresponding to the date of the initial proposal in the footer section. Any pages that may be revised as a result of discussions or correspondence (if required) shall contain revision numbers and dates.

The page count shall include all material (printed matter and figures) except where explicitly stated and does not include cover pages, title pages, Table of Contents (TOC), lists of figures and tables, tab pages, index pages, Integrate Master Schedule, Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms, and the Cross Reference Matrix (CRM).

Pages excluded from the page count must contain only material pertinent to the page heading or be blank and marked "Intentionally Left Blank." Index pages and Tabs are required and shall be cross-referenced to the TOC.

Every page, except those marked as blank, shall be numbered. Pages exceeding the page count shall be removed from the end of the volume that exceeds the page count and will not be evaluated.

The Offeror shall submit a CRM for the Technical Volume, similar to the example below to help ensure that all solicitation requirements are addressed and to facilitate the evaluators’ review of the Offeror’s proposal. The CRM should be a single integrated matrix and cross-reference the proposal volumes and paragraphs to specific solicitation requirements, as well as other parts of the proposal that contain relevant information. The Offeror’s CRM may be identical to the example below or revised such as to add columns to indicate the page number on which information may be found, identify where other relevant information in the proposal is located, or provide other comments. The CRM does not count against any of the proposal page limitations.

Each factor and volume shall be written to the greatest extent possible on a stand-alone basis so that its content may be evaluated with a minimum of cross-referencing to other factors and volumes of the proposal. Cross-referencing within a given factor is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. In the event an Offeror decides to cross reference information, it is the responsibility of the Offeror to include the information in full and provide clear references to that information in other portions of the factor where the Offeror would like the evaluators to consider any duplicated information. Nevertheless, Offerors are reminded of their burden to present its capability in a manner that is clear for evaluators.

The Offeror shall provide sufficient details for evaluation of the proposed production, assembly, and test facilities (in terms of equipment, personnel, available space) and capital assets in sufficient description as to demonstrate adequate infrastructure, capability, and capacity for the production and test of the proposed sets, as identified by the TDP, at the rates per the delivery requirements identified in Section F. The proposal shall also specifically discuss availability of facilities and assets during the contract period of performance.

b. The Offeror shall explicitly describe availability of necessary production, assembly and test facilities capabilities including access to physical plant facilities, required production and test equipment, special test ranges or facilities and skilled production, test and engineering support personnel.

FACTOR 2: PAST PERFORMANCE

a. Offeror shall provide a minimum of one, maximum of three Past Performance References with their proposal for like or similar efforts the company has completed within the last five years from the date of proposal submission. Offeror shall also submit one Past Performance Reference for each proposed subcontract valued at 10% or more of their total proposed price. The contracts identified should demonstrate in-depth knowledge and successful implementation of contracts of similar scope and complexity to this solicitation. Similar scope and complexity means having performed most of the types of support efforts identified in the SOW and TDP for this solicitation. The identified contracts can be with Federal Government, commercial or other customers.

b. The Past Performance Questionnaire (PPQ), included as Attachment J-S-1 to 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 2, Past Performance. Include with your proposal submission a copy of the PPQ Cover Sheet. In order to expedite the assessment process, the Offeror may complete the “Contract Information” portion of the PPQ for the convenience of the client POC. The Offeror shall not, however, complete any other section of the PPQ on behalf of the client POC. The PPQ shall be provided to the client POC with instructions to complete and submit it directly to the Contracting Office to the Contract Specialist at terren.jo@navy.mil with copy to michael.d.thompson4@navy.mil by the closing date and time specified on the cover page of the solicitation, Block 9. Completed PPQs are to be emailed from the client directly to the PPQs are NOT to be submitted via the Offeror. The Government reserves the right to limit or expand the number of references it decides to contact and to contact other references than those provided by the Offeror. The Government reserves the right to consider any PPQs received after the due date and to contact those clients that do not respond to the PPQ.

c. Submission of Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) evaluations in lieu of PPQs is acceptable. An Offeror who has an effort which is covered by one or more CPARS evaluations need not submit a PPQ for that same effort. The narrative submitted with Volume 2 should clearly identify the contract number/task order number for any effort for which the Offeror is relying upon a CPARS evaluation rather than submitting a PPQ.

d. The Government reserves the right to obtain information for use in the evaluation of past performance from any and all sources, including sources outside the Government. Other sources may include, but are not limited to, past performance information retrieved through CPARS, the Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS) database, the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) Report Card using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members (partnership, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or parent company/subsidiary/affiliate) identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquires of owner representative (s), points of contact identified by the Offeror in its proposal, personnel knowledge, and any other known sources not provided by the Offeror. 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.

Previous Contracting Effort Narratives

The Offeror shall also provide a Previous Contracting Effort Narrative detailing the following information:

a. Description of how the scope for this past contract/task order relates to this effort in scope and complexity.

b. Description of the significant achievements, challenges or obstacles that were encountered during contract performance and the measures taken to overcome challenges and obstacles.

c. 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 the following factor:

FACTOR 3: TOTAL EVALUATED PRICE

Offerors shall submit a complete price proposal that addresses all information required to evaluate the pricing proposed for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), except CLIN 0002, including pricing for CLIN 0001, stepladder pricing for CLIN 0003, and stepladder pricing for Option CLINs 0004 through 0007. 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.

c. The price proposal should answer the following questions:

i. What is the estimate?

ii. What is it based on?

iii. How was it derived?

iv. Why is it reasonable?

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 subcontract valued at 10% or more of the total proposed price, the Offeror shall provide a list which includes:

i. Subcontractor name, address, telephone number, and CAGE code;

ii. Description of supplies/services to be subcontracted;

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

iv. Place(s) of contract performance;

v. Estimated dollar amount of the subcontract;

vi. Type of subcontract (FFP, Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee, etc.);

vii. 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.

2.6 REQUEST FOR DRAWINGS.

This is a build to print requirement in accordance with the Government furnished TDP. These drawings are restricted and can only be made available to DoD Contractors under the Joint Certification Program, upon request to the Contracting Office. Drawings are made available via FBO.gov.
