3. Capability responses shall be prepared so that when printed, they meet the following requirements: 8.5x11 inch paper, single-spaced typed lines, 1 inch margins, 12 point Times New Roman font. Tables may use 10-point font. Graphics or pictures are not allowed. Illustrations such as tables, flowcharts, organizational charts, process charts or other similar type informational charts may be used, and they will be counted against the page count limitations. Respondents are responsible for ensuring the legibility of all table, charts, etc., and should assume that when their response is printed or copied, it will be done in black and white. When submitted, the format of Table 1 shall not be changed from how it appears in this document.

4. Responses shall include a Corporate Description section and a Corporate Experience section as described below.

Section 1: Corporate Description. Responses must include all of the following information (2 page limit):

(a) Name of firm

(b) State the respondent is registered in SAM.gov and state the respondent’s size status under the procurement NAICS code listed in paragraph 2E above.

(c) Ownership, including whether: Small, Small Disadvantaged, 8(a), Women-Owned, HUBZone, Veteran Owned and/or Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Business;

(d) Two points of contact, including: Name, title, phone number, and e-mail address

(e) CAGE Code and DUNS Number

(f) Affiliate information, including parent corporation, joint venture partners, potential teaming partners, prime contractor (if potential sub) or subcontractors (if potential prime).

(g) A completed Table 1. Table 1 is a listing of the percentage of work a respondent can perform with respect to the stated requirements based on the respondent’s capabilities. This is an assessment/analysis of a respondent’s independent abilities as to what they can or cannot perform – exclusive of any potential subcontractor/team member information. Do not include any documentation or percentages for any company other than your own[footnoteRef:1]. Respondents shall fill in Columns B and C of Table 1. [1: For respondents planning to propose a teaming arrangement that complies with the requirements set forth in FAR clause 52.219-27 (Notice of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside (Nov 2011), Table 1 must be completed for each of the teaming partners. In this case, additional Table 1 listings may be submitted on additional pages, but those additional pages shall only contain those additional tables – no additional narrative is permitted on these extra pages beyond a one line caption for each table. ]

(1) The percentages listed in Column A represent the government’s estimated percentage of effort in each technical area that will be required relative to the overall effort of the indefinite delivery indefinite quantity contract.

(2) Entries in Column B reflect the percentage work in each technical area that a respondent can accomplish as described above. This does not include what teaming partners can accomplish. The values in each of the rows of this column will be between 0 and 100%.

(3) Values in Column C represent the percentages of the overall contract that the respondent can accomplish in each task area. For each task area, this is determined by multiplying the percentage listed in Column A with the percentage entered in Column B. The sum of the values in Column C represents the percentage of the overall contract that the respondent can accomplish. This value cannot exceed 100%. During evaluations, the Government will not assume that the respondent can perform more than its projected level of effort.

TABLE 1 – Respondent’s Level of Effort Capability

(with PWS Paragraph Reference) Column A Percentage of Functional Area Effort in the Overall Task (Gov Est) Column B Respondent’s Projected Level of Effort in each Functional Area Column C Respondent’s Projected Level of Overall Task Effort (Col A) x (Col B)

D

1. The Sum of the values in Column C represent the percentage of the task that the respondent can perform as the prime. The tasking description column references the corresponding PWS paragraph. Please note the PWS references are inclusive of all sub-paragraphs; offerors should make sure their technical capability statements address the full breadth of the relevant PWS paragraph. Paragraph 3.1 is not included because the requirements listed therein are general to the entire PWS requirements.

(h) A statement that the contractor either has or does not have an adequate accounting system, as required in Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 16.301-3(a)(3) for cost-reimbursement contracts.

(i) Additional Information. None.

Section 2: Corporate Experience. (16 page limit including RIS) Respondents shall summarize the work their company, employees or partnership[footnoteRef:2] has performed relevant to this planned requirement by demonstrating their experience as described in the attached draft PWS. Respondents shall submit Reference Information Sheets (RIS) (Attachment 1) citing not more than three references where the Responder acted as a prime, team member from a Contractor Team Arrangement or a subcontractor on Government contracts that required similar effort to the effort described in the PWS within the Functional Areas identified above in Table 1. The contracts/orders provided should have been performed since 27 April 2011. For each reference cited, prepare and submit one RIS in accordance with the instructions contained therein; each RIS shall provide a summary description of contract work. In completing these summary descriptions, offerors must explain the relevance of each cited reference with respect to the Functional Areas identified in Table 1 above. The Government is not bound by the responder’s opinion of the relevance of its corporate experience. [2: For respondents planning to propose a teaming arrangement that complies with the requirements set forth in FAR clause 52.219-27 (Notice of Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business Set-Aside) (Nov 2011), Separate Reference Information Sheets (RIS) (Attachment 1) shall be submitted per SDVOSB team member citing not more than three references where the Responder acted as a prime, team member from a Contractor Team Arrangement or a subcontractor on Government contracts that required similar effort to the effort described in the SOW within the key Functional Areas identified above in Table 1.

In completing the summary descriptions of contract work for Part 8 of each RIS, clearly format the response to separate the discussion for each Functional Area identified in Table 1. Do not provide a consolidated response for multiple Functional Areas. In evaluating your experience in each individual Functional Area, the Government will consider only the text designated in Part 8 of the RIS for that particular Functional Area. Responders are also advised not to simply restate the language from the PWS, but should document how their experience relates to the corresponding Functional Area of the PWS.

Technical Capability Statements shall also include an explanation as to how respondents will handle an average yearly workload of 240 task orders, 58% of which are urgent Casualty Reports (CASREPS). This discussion should be included in the Functional Area for Technical Assistance Report.
