SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

L-317 VAR1 SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS (VARIATION)

(a) General Information

The Government intends to award a contract without discussions, as permitted by FAR 15.306(a) and 52.215-1.

However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions and to permit offerors to revise their proposals if determined by the Contracting Officer to be in the best interest of the Government (FAR 15.306(d)). The Government will not entertain alternate proposals.

If an offeror (1) fails or refuses to assent to any of the terms and conditions of this solicitation, (2) proposes additional terms or conditions, or (3) fails to submit any of the information required by this solicitation and in the manner specified in paragraph (b) below, then the proposal may receive a rating of Unacceptable and may be rejected without further evaluation.

The contracting office shall be contacted by email within ten calendar days of release of the solicitation if any part of these instructions is not understood or for any required solicitation clarifications.

(b) Proposal Format

In addition to all other requirements of this solicitation, each offeror shall provide a detailed proposal addressing each of the areas described in Section L and to be evaluated in accordance with Section M. This information shall be presented in the form of a written proposal as outlined below. Proposals submitted for consideration for award must address the full scope of requirements as set forth in Sections L and M of the solicitation.

The offeror shall submit electronic files as delineated below:

All excel files shall be a functional spreadsheet with formulas, NOT a read-only spreadsheet. Original PDF files shall be searchable.

Unless otherwise stated, the following formatting requirements apply: For the purpose of this solicitation, a page is defined as one 8.5"x 11" size electronic page with 1 inch margins and using a minimum of 10 point Times New Roman font. The font style and size requirements also apply to Information Summaries and to graphics, art, figures, imported charts, charts, and any other graphical representation that includes text. Any page that exceeds or fails to meet the size, margin, font or total page limit requirements will not be evaluated. Formatting requirements do not apply to documents or Attachments provided by the Government. Any form that the Government has provided as an Attachment to be filled out by the offeror shall follow the format of the form. The font style and size requirements are not applicable to eSRS reports, CPARS/PPIRS reports and DCAA Forward Pricing Rate Agreements; however, these documents must be legible.

(c) Proposal Content

Proposals shall be submitted in accordance with Provision L-349 “Submission of Electronic Proposals” to permit a detailed evaluation. Each file shall be labeled in accordance with the format in paragraph (b) above. Pages should be numbered.

A concise and comprehensive proposal is desired. The proposal shall be sufficient to enable evaluators to make a thorough and complete evaluation, and to arrive at a sound determination as to whether the requirements of this solicitation are satisfied. In preparing the proposal, emphasis should be placed on brief, complete, and factual data in the areas set forth in the solicitation. Organization, clarity, accuracy of information, relevance, and completeness are of prime importance. Statements such as “will comply,” or “noted and understood” without supporting narrative to define compliance are not acceptable. Cursory responses or responses which merely reiterate or reformulate solicitation language will not be considered as satisfying the requirements of the solicitation or as demonstrating the ability to perform.

In the interest of enhancing competition on resulting task orders, SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic highly discourages individual contractors submitting more than one proposal (i.e., as a prime and/or team member) against this solicitation. If an offeror submits a proposal as a prime contractor on this solicitation and is also proposed as a team member for a different prime contractor on this solicitation, the offeror must disclose to the prime for whom they will be a team member that they are also proposing as a prime themselves. The proposal for each prime offeror impacted in this situation, shall include written evidence in the proposal via the Prime/Team Member Teaming Disclosure submission that serves as proof that the disclosure took place. That narrative evidencing knowledge and agreement to the business arrangement of proposal submissions should be endorsed by both entities. If an offeror submitting an offer as a prime contractor is found to be proposed as a team member, but has failed to make the appropriate disclosure, then their proposal as a prime contractor will be eliminated from the competition and will not be evaluated.

NON-COST FACTORS

Proposal shall consist of the information specified for each evaluation factor listed below.

FACTOR A: PERFORMANCE QUALIFICATIONS

Prime Offerors shall demonstrate compliance with all three of the following performance qualifications:

1) Security Management Office (SMO) code at SECRET or above,

2) International Organization for Standards (ISO) 9001 independently certified certification, and

3) Capabilities Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level III appraisal at the company level in one of the following areas: Services, Development, and/or Acquisition.

To demonstrate compliance with the performance qualifications, Prime offerors shall provide their active SMO code at SECRET or above, a copy of their independently certified ISO Certification, and a Certificate of Appraisal which includes the following: 1) Appraisal Category (i.e. Dev, Acq, SvC); 2) Appraisal date and Expiration date; and 3) Appraiser name with Appraiser ID# (font style and size requirements do not apply). For offerors who do not currently meet one or more of the performance qualifications, in lieu of the required certification submit a one page document for each performance qualification describing how you will satisfy the performance qualification no later than 14 days prior to the anticipated award date of 31 October 2018. The one page explanation will use the same file name as the requested documents in the table above.

PAGE LIMITATIONS:

1. Limit 1 page per performance qualification submission. Limit 3 total pages.

Factor B: TECHNICAL CAPABILITY

Offerors shall submit Attachment 1C, Team Summary, which identifies the Prime contractor and up to two (2) team members proposed to perform the Factor B elements (i.e. B1-B4) with a maximum total of three team members including the Prime. The Attachment 1C Team Summary shall identify which of the Factor B elements (may be more than one element) the proposed team member(s) is proposed to perform. In order to evaluate the proposed team’s technical capability to perform the Factor B requirements, offerors shall submit a maximum of five (5) current and relevant contract references for contract efforts performed which are similar in scope to the Factor B requirements using the Attachment 1A and 1B Reference Information Sheets. Current is defined as a contract performed within the last five years from the date of issuance of the solicitation. Relevant is defined as no more than five (5) contract references in total, with a cumulative invoiced value equal to or exceeding $50 million, submitted by the team (i.e. Attachment 1C), for efforts similar in scope to the Factor B requirements. Contract references which demonstrate experience utilizing an active ISO 9001 certification and/or CMMI Level III assessment are considered the most relevant. Offerors shall identify and specifically relate the scope of the proposed contractor references to the Factor B elements (i.e. B1-B4) in the narrative response to Question 13 on Attachment 1B. Offerors cumulative contract references shall address all Factor B elements (i.e. B1-B4). Offerors shall submit contract reference data for current and relevant contracts performed by the Prime and each proposed team member identified on Attachment 1C (if applicable). The more relevant the work performed for this contract reference is, the more valuable the experience is to the Government. No more than a total of five (5) of the most current and relevant contract references may be submitted for the team (i.e. Attachment 1C team members). At least one of the Prime’s contract references shall have an invoiced value of at least $10 million. Contract reference data (i.e.

Attachments 1A and 1B) is limited solely and exclusively to the Prime contractor and up to two (2) proposed team members (i.e. Attachment 1C).

For each contract cited on Attachment 1B, line 6 requires the contract type and total contract amount (ceiling), and line 7 requires the final amount invoiced or amount invoiced to date. The combined invoiced amount for all contract references shall meet or exceed $50 million.

In the case of orders under Indefinite Delivery contracts such as General Services Administration (GSA), Governmentwide Acquisition Contracts (GWACs), DoD-wide (Seaport-E, NETCENTS, ITES-2S, ENCORE, etc.)

and/or Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPAs), an individual order that meets the definition of “current and relevant” may be submitted as one of the contract references. Additionally, within the contract reference submission limitations as stated above, offerors may submit multiple orders under a single Indefinite Delivery contract in order to meet the relevancy threshold. However, offerors shall demonstrate the relevancy of these orders to the specific Factor B requirements (i.e. B1-B4) and all of the orders shall meet the currency requirement of performance and be similar in scope to the Factor B requirements. The multiple order reference shall not exceed the page limit established for a contract reference.

Contract reference data for any company, division, subsidiary, etc., that is not the prime contractor or team member identified in Attachment 1C will not be considered. Offerors are reminded that in accordance with the requirements for the proposal content, written teaming agreements covering other proposed companies, divisions, subsidiaries, etc. of the prime contractor or team member(s) must be provided. The prime contractor is considered to be the organization that signs and submits the proposal. The Government must be ensured that the prime contractor will be the organization performing the work. CAUTION: It is important to this evaluation that the contract reference(s) submitted represent the technical capability/experience of the same companies that are identified on Attachment 1C.

Therefore, the Government will be comparing the company name(s) cited on the submitted contract reference(s) against the company name(s) cited in the technical proposal. In cases where there is any variance between the actual company name(s) cited on the submitted contract reference(s) and the company name(s) identified in the technical and cost/price proposals, the prime contractor MUST provide rationale that clearly identifies the correlation and/or association of the company(s). This rationale is to be provided in the Contract Reference Rationale submission.

The Government will review the rationale and determine if clear correlation and/or association can be made between the company name(s) cited on the submitted contract reference(s) and the technical proposal. In cases where such clear correlation and/or association cannot be made, the contract reference(s) will not be considered.

The offeror’s technical capabilities, as demonstrated through the Reference Information Sheet-Contract Specific Data Attachment 1B submissions, shall demonstrate experience in the following four Factor B Elements:

Element B1: Operation Center Systems Element B2: Satellite Communications and Network Solutions Element B3: Software Defined Radios Element B4: Cryptographic and Cryptologic Intelligence Support Systems

Element B1. Operation Center Systems Providing the development, kitting and delivery of a DoD Operations Center System that integrates a minimum of one Mission Assurance Category (MAC) I system in accordance with Intelligence Community Directive (ICD)

PAGE LIMITATIONS:

1. The Reference Information Sheet – Summary Data, Attachment 1A, shall be submitted for the prime and each team member identified in Attachment 1C, and is not included in the following page count. The one page Attachment 1C Team Summary is also not included in the Attachment 1B page count.

2. The Reference Information Sheet – Contract Specific Reference Data Attachment 1B, offerors must describe their experience under each contract reference, using a separate Attachment 1B for each reference (Attachment 1B is not included in the overall page limit stated below). For each contract reference, clearly describe how the corporate experience under the reference relates to the Factor B evaluation criteria (i.e. B1-B4). While there is no page limit per contract reference (except the overall page limit for all references), offerors must separately describe their experience under each reference so that the agency can evaluate the relevance of the technical experience performed under each contract reference. Offerors are free to allocate pages to references within the overall page limit of 20 pages. Offerors shall not provide a single narrative that describes experience under multiple references.

3. All Factor B Contract Specific Reference Data Attachment 1B responses must specify which Factor B element(s) (i.e. B1-B4) the contract narrative reference is addressing.

FACTOR C: TECHNICAL APPROACH

The offeror shall describe their approach to using the Technical Approach Drawings (Attachment 4A) and Tactical Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Collection System (TSCS) PWS (Attachment 4B) to procure, build, test, and deliver ten (10) Modular TSCS to SPAWARSYSCEN Atlantic’s main receiving warehouse by addressing the following elements:

FACTOR D: SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The purpose and requirements for submission of an offeror’s Software Development Plan (SDP) is to provide a representative example of the offeror’s capabilities in developing, planning, and executing software development through implementation and use of software development planning practices and processes across the full Software Development Lifecycle (SDLC) by addressing the following elements:

Element D1: Software Development Plan Element D2: Software Development Plan Rationale

Element D1. Software Development Plan The offeror shall submit a previously developed SDP that is, or can be directly correlated to, an equivalent C4ISR systems software development effort as identified in this solicitation. The SDP can only be submitted from the offeror or one of the team members identified in Attachment 1C. The SDP provided will be an SDP developed and finalized within five years of the date of this solicitation issuance. The offeror shall provide substantiating rationale and justification to support correlation of C4ISR system. The offeror shall present a previously developed SDP in accordance with the requirements of the Software Process Improvement Initiative (SPII) of 13 July 2007. The information content of the SDP shall follow the framework set forth in Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Std 12207:2008 regarding subject content, level of detail and completeness.

Element D2. Software Development Plan Rationale The offeror shall provide a SDP rationale that justifies their process selection and describes why their specific approach would be appropriate and in context to the system or software to be developed within this solicitation. If a team member is proposed to perform the majority of software integration or development, the offeror shall include in their rationale how the Prime will ensure that the work provided by the team member is appropriate to the required processes and framework identified in IEEE Std 12207-2008.

PAGE LIMITATIONS :

(D1) SDP (no page limit) (D2) SDP Rationale (2 page limit)

FACTOR E: PAST PERFORMANCE

(a) Offerors (prime and team members cited in Attachment 1C) shall only provide past performance information for each contract reference proposed in response to Factor B and which are identical to the team members cited on Attachment 1C. If the offeror’s Contractor Performance Assessment Report (CPAR) is located in the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) (as indicated on Attachment 1A - Reference Information Sheet - Summary Data), then it is not necessary for a Past Performance Questionnaire to be submitted. For those offerors whose past performance information is not located on the automated system, offerors shall contact their references and request that each reference complete Attachment 2 - Past Performance Questionnaire and e-mail the completed survey form NOT LATER THAN THE CLOSING DATE AND TIME FOR RECEIPT OF PROPOSALS UNDER THIS SOLICITATION to giancarlo.dumenigo@navy.mil reference N65236-16-R-0036 in the Subject line.

Offerors (prime and team members identified in Attachment 1C) shall provide Attachment 2 - Past Performance Questionnaire Cover Sheet for each cited contract (as applicable).

If the contract reference is an Indefinite Delivery contract for which CPAR records were not completed at the contract level but were completed on individual task orders, the offeror is required to identify the task orders used to satisfy the requirements of Factor B in Attachment 1A, and provide past performance information for each task order as described above.

The Government may consider questionnaires received after the closing date and time for receipt of proposals under the solicitation. The Government reserves the right to contact references for verification or information.

Offerors are cautioned that past performance records located in PPIRS are archived (and irretrievable) after 3 years.

In such cases, offerors shall provide a copy of the CPAR record (including a Government and Contracting Point of Contact).

mailto:giancarlo.dumenigo@navy.mil

If the prime or team member (identified in Attachment 1C) performed as a subcontractor on a Government contract and submits a past performance reference for that contract, the past performance questionnaire should be completed by a Government representative (e.g. the Contracting Officer Representative (COR) on the contract). If a Government representative is not available, the questionnaire may be completed by the prime contractor.

(b) The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror.

Offerors that have no record of past performance (i.e., new businesses) must submit a signed and dated statement to that effect.

PAGE LIMITATIONS:

Past Performance Questionnaire Cover Sheet, Attachment 2 (if applicable)
