The required response date/time has changed from 18-Nov-2024 10:00 AM to 06-Dec-2024 10:00 AM.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

PROPOSAL INSTRUCTIONS

PART A - GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

Offerors are required to submit sufficient information concerning the following areas to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain capabilities of the Offeror to perform the requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to permit evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s approach, expertise, experience and capability as required by the solicitation.

All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements, associated risks and is able, willing and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements and potential risk areas.

With the exception of the Prime Contractor’s price volume, no pricing information should appear in any other volume. Alternate proposals are not acceptable.

The Government may award a contract on the basis of initial Offers received, without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, if considered necessary by the Contracting Officer, discussions will be conducted with only those Offerors determined necessary to ensure efficient competition.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to present enough information to allow the proposal as well as price, to be meaningfully evaluated without discussions.

For the purpose of this acquisition, relevance is defined as something that has a logical connection with the matter under consideration. Such aspects or relevance include the type of effort (e.g. development, production, repair), the type of requirements (e.g. weapon systems, information systems, engineering services, scheduled depot maintenance), service similarity, service complexity, contract type, contract dollar value, the division of the company that will perform the work, and participation of Principal Subcontractors, Team Members, or Critical Team Members.

The Offeror must include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the proposal. Failure to clearly and positively address specific information within the volumes below may be considered a deficiency. There is no need to repeat information in more than one volume if an overlap exists; the detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

Offerors are expected to comply with all requirements of the Request for Proposal (RFP). The Government advises Offerors that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the Offeror ineligible for award, unless the RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the RFP that is not expressly authorized by the RFP to be a deficiency, as defined in FAR 15.001.

Throughout these instructions, Principal Subcontractors are defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 10% of the proposed total price (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee), for the contract. Team Members are the entities that make up a joint venture or any other partnership or teaming arrangement that is formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation. Critical team members are entities of the Offeror that perform a critical function in the performance of the resulting contract, whether it is technical or financial, and/or have important roles in any high or medium risk areas identified in the Offeror’s proposal.

The deadline for receipt of questions is 29 November 2024. Although every effort will be made, the Government makes no guarantee that questions received after the date above will be answered.

2.0 PROPOSAL FORMAT

Written proposals must be formatted using a Times New Roman 12 pt normal font (no reduction permitted), single spaced with 1-inch margins all around, and formatted for standard 8.5 x 11-inch paper. All pages should be numbered with section and page numbers. When foldout pages are used they must not exceed 11 x 17 inches and will be counted as 1 page. Drawings may be provided separately and may be any size but should be folded to approximately 8.5 x 11-inch standard size and will count as 1 page. Graphs shall be presented in no smaller than a 10 pt. font and should contain a grid, which allows values to be read directly from the graph to the same accuracy that a 10 x 10 to the ½ inch grid provides. Graphic resolution should be consistent with the purpose of the data presented. The Offeror will provide one complete copy of the written proposal to the PCO as electronic files fully compatible with Microsoft Office.

3.0 PROPOSAL CONTENT AND VOLUMES

Each volume of the proposal shall be submitted as one original and additional copies as specified in the table below.

Each volume shall include Points of Contact, Cage Code and SAM Unique ID number. Submission of all volumes of the Original proposal to the address provided in section 4.0 will determines timeliness of receipt. Page limitations for each volume if any, are also specified in the table below as follows (title and table of contents pages do not count towards page limit). Proposal pages beyond a specified maximum limit, if any, will not be reviewed as part of the evaluation.

Volume Number Volume Title Written Page Limit Copies Required 1 Contract Information None 1 Original

2 Technical 75 (not including sample manuals) 1 Original 3 Past Performance 15 1 Original 4 Price Proposal None 1 Original

Each volume must contain the following information: Cover and title page; Title of proposal and proposal number as applicable; Offeror’s name, address, POC, and Cage Code; RFP number; Proposal volume; Table of Contents (The table of contents must provide sufficient detail to enable easy location of important elements).

The Offeror shall submit a Cross Reference Matrix (CRM) 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 volume paragraphs to specific RFP 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.

All proposals must be UNCLASSIFIED

PART B - SPECIFIC INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 VOLUME 1 – CONTRACT INFORMATION

Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to price aspects of the offer.

The Offeror shall submit a completed Standard Form SF33. The Offeror shall submit all certifications and representations required within Section K of the solicitation.

2.0 VOLUME 2 – TECHNICAL (FACTOR 1)

Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to price aspects of the offer.

The Offeror shall provide all information and data required to conduct a thorough and complete technical evaluation.

The Offeror shall address the following in the proposal:

The technical description of the fabrication of the VLS resilient mounts and shims should detail the manufacture of this part as listed in Section B, Section C and the Attachments:

ELEMENT A: MANUFACTURING PROCESSES: The Offeror shall describe their project work planning and production method, noting the major equipment to be used and how the Offeror plans to meet the specifications.

ELEMENT B: PROCUREMENT APPROACH: The Offeror shall describe their supply chain management for materials, hardware, and outside process services, as applicable.

ELEMENT C: CERTIFICATIONS/ACCREDITATIONS: The Offeror shall provide all current manufacturing, quality, management (eg. ISO, ASQ, etc.) or other credentials lending confidence to the Offerors ability to perform the requirements of the solicitation. If the Offeror does not possess any certifications/accreditations the Offeror should indicate it as such.

3.0 VOLUME 3 - PAST PERFORMANCE (FACTOR 2)

Offerors shall submit the following information as part of their proposal for both the Offeror and proposed subcontractors. Offeror shall identify no more than three (3) contracts for similar equipment performed within the last five (5) years from the solicitation release date. The contracts identified should be of similar scope and complexity to this solicitation. The identified contracts can be with Federal, State, local, or commercial contracts.

For each contract, the Offeror shall identify the customer Points of Contact (POC). The Offeror shall provide the current address, phone number, FAX number, and email address for each POC. Offerors that are newly formed without prior contracts should list contracts and subcontracts as required above for all personnel with significant roles in contract performance.

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. In conducting this assessment, the Government reserves the right to use both data provided by the Offeror, including contacting any Points of Contact listed, and data obtained from other sources other than those identified by the Offeror, such as the Navy’s Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting systems (CPARS). Since the Government may not necessarily interview all sources provided by the Offeror, it is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offeror. If the Offeror is aware of any situation that may negatively impact the Offeror’s past performance ratings, please discuss the situation and how it was remedied.

Failure to submit the past performance data, with the proposal, shall be considered certification (by signature on the proposal) that the contractor has no past performance for similar items.

4.0 VOLUME 4 - PRICE PROPOSAL

NOTE: If a proposal has been determined acceptable under each of the non-price factors listed above, the Government will evaluate each proposal on a lowest price basis.

The Offeror shall provide separate price information containing total pricing for each priced line item as designated in the CLIN of the solicitation. Offerors shall also provide a basis of pricing within this volume.
