Answer: See KIT components listing.

Question #8: For Section 3.11 Testing, Inspection and Acceptance, request Government confirm accuracy of references to ‘HEB’ and ‘HEB units’. Should these be replaced with PDPs and Junction Boxes?

Answer: Corrections are made.

Question #9: Request Government provide test equipment drawing 7772022PDP.

Answer: ATE drawing is not available.

Question #10: WE seem to be unable to find the breakdown of what’s in each kit listed on page 2, where can this be found? (IE what’s in VLS PDP set) Answer: Refer to the responses to Questions #2, #3 and #4.

Question #11: Request Government provide part number associated with the OBRP Components, INCO Spares, and Depot Spares.

Request Government provide additional clarity of how Factor 2 Past Performance will be evaluated and utilized in the trade off differences for price and past performance. Specifically, how will the tradeoff be evaluated when an offeror’s past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned and the offeror is not evaluated favorable or unfavorable on past performance.

Answer: A lack of past performance will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably. A neutral rating can, nonetheless be compared with the past performance of other offerors to determine the best value. A neutral rating does not prevent the Government from recognizing the value of recent relevant past performance that other offerors have.

1.0 GENERAL

The term “shall” in this document means an affirmative duty to comply. The Offeror’s proposal must comply with the statement of work and the offer must include the information requested 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).

2.0 INSTRUCTIONS FOR SUBMISSION OF OFFERS

The solicitation response/proposal will be contained in two separate volumes:

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

For each volume, the number of copies required and the page limits are shown in the table below. Instructions for electronic files are detailed below in paragraphs 2.1.1 and 2.1.2, respectively. All data submitted shall be marked unclassified.

2.1 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND DELIVERY:

Volume Title Page Limit

Electronic Copies via E-mail/PIEE

I Price Proposal None 1

II Technical (Non-Price) 100 1

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 – N6339422R0007 PDP/SMJB/SMFOA for MK 41 VLS Volume Number and Title (e.g., Volume I –Price Proposal) DUNS Number and CAGE Code of the Offeror

Each proposal volume shall contain the following information, which is not included in page limits.

Title Page Table of Contents (Must provide sufficient detail to enable easy location of important elements) List of Figures List of Tables Index Pages 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.

2.1.1 Format:

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.

The electronic proposal shall be prepared so that if printed, the proposal meets the following format requirements: 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 a font no smaller than 8-point.

The Offeror’s Small Business Subcontracting Plan shall be provided in a searchable format such as word document or pdf.

Images converted into pdf, which are not searchable, are unacceptable.

Unless otherwise specified, tables, charts, and graphs may only include narrative sufficient to describe the diagram, chart or graphic material. Every figure and table shall be numbered.

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 Offeror shall submit a Cross Reference Matrix (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 use the table below a basis for the CRM matrix. The matrix columns should indicate the Section L paragraph, the applicable SOW paragraph, the Section M Evaluation Factor, and any proposal references. The table below may be revised 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 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.

2.2 PROPOSAL CONTENT:

Proposal shall demonstrate an understanding of the requirements and the proposed method of completing the work described in the SOW. To facilitate the evaluation, the proposal should be sufficiently detailed and complete to clearly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and the technical and management problems inherent therein. It should also contain sufficient detail to indicate the proposed means for complying with all applicable specifications. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands and can or will comply with all specifications, statements paraphrasing the specifications or parts thereof, and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used”, etc., are insufficient.

Offerors shall comply with all solicitation requirements, terms, and conditions. If an offeror takes exception to any of these requirements the exception shall be identified to the Government prior to receipt of the Offeror’s proposal.

2.3 VOLUME I – PRICE PROPOSAL

Volume I – Price Proposal shall include the following information.

FACTOR 1: TOTAL PRICE

Offerors shall submit a complete price proposal that addresses all information required to evaluate the pricing proposed for each CLIN. 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. Cost and pricing data other than certified cost and pricing data must be included to the extent indicated elsewhere.

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 I 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 I of the proposal shall include 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. *All pricing shall be proposed in whole dollars*

FAR 52.215-1(f)(8) applies here, and states: “The Government may determine that a proposal is unacceptable if the prices proposed are materially unbalanced between line items or subline items. Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. A proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.”

a. In addition, the Government will assess the adequacy and completeness of the Offeror provided information required for this factor. Offerors that submit inadequate or incomplete information may render the proposal ineligible for award.

b. The Government evaluation will include the prices for the option quantities. Evaluation of options will not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

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). Include the Subcontracting Plan as an attachment under Volume I of your proposal.

Stepladder Pricing. See Section B, Note A for a detailed explanation of how stepladder pricing will be utilized for this solicitation/contract.

2.4 VOLUME II – TECHNICAL (NON-PRICE) PROPOSAL No price information shall be included in this volume.

Volume II – Technical (Non-Price) Proposal shall be organized as stated below:

Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Technical Capability Element 1: Production Assembly in accordance with SOW and TDP Element 2: Factory Acceptance Testing in accordance with TDP Element 3: Physical Assets and Facilities to be used in Production and Testing

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 performed within the last five years from the date of proposal submission.

Offeror shall also submit one Past Performance Reference for each proposed subcontract whose subcontract is valued at 10% or more of the 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 JS-2 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.

Include with your proposal submission a copy of the PPQ Cover Sheet. In order to expedite the evaluation 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 virginia.ryerson@navy.mil with copy to christopher.seto@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 Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist.

Completed 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 references other 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 II, Factor 2 should clearly identify the contract 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. This information may include, but is 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 Cards using all CAGE/DUNS numbers of team members identified in the Offeror’s proposal, inquires of owner representative (s), points of contact identified by the Offeror in its proposal, personnel knowledge. 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 for each reference detailing the following information:

a. Description of how the scope for this past contract 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 the proposal shall demonstrate why the past effort is none the less relevant.

FACTOR 3: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Element 1: Production Assembly in accordance with SOW and TDP

Volume II shall include the Offeror’s detailed plan for accomplishing the technical tasks specified in the SOW and meeting the following minimum requirements described below:

a. The Offeror shall provide sufficient details for evaluation of its proposed Configuration Management (CM) plan and how it complies in accordance with the SOW paragraph 12 (Section C). The Offeror shall demonstrate through these details an understanding of the CM requirements for this acquisition and describe how it will implement a CM Program. The Offeror shall provide examples, minimum one but no more than two, of how it has successfully initiated CM on a previous program of similar size and complexity, as compared to the TDP of this solicitation.

b. The Offeror shall provide its process on managing engineering changes or deviations to the TDP that are either requested by the Contractor, or changes provided by the Government in accordance with the SOW paragraph 12.4

3.10.4. The Offeror shall provide examples, minimum one but no more than two, of instances it has received updated production requirements. Examples should describe how the Offeror’s team successfully dealt with updating production line(s) and processes, interfaced with vendors, met required delivery dates, and ensured quality was maintained.

c. The Offeror shall provide sufficient details for evaluation of its proposed Quality Assurance Plan and address how it intends to ensure the manufacturing quality of its subcontractors and other vendors in accordance with the SOW paragraph 3.21 19.
