Delete: 30 Apr 2018 Insert: 30 Sep 2023

Section L

1. Provision UW L-2-0001, Instructions to Offerors, is revised as follows:

(a)Paragraph 2.0(3):

Delete: A plan for obtaining clearances, both Facility and Personnel, by the start of the period of performance as specified in the DD254. The plan shall include confirmation of existing clearances, detail the Offeror’s process for obtaining clearances, and outline the schedule for obtaining any required new clearances. The plan shall consist of no more than two (2) pages.

Insert: A plan for obtaining clearances (The plan shall consist of no more than (2) pages. Proof of existing facilities clearance is not included in the page count limitation):

a. Personnel Clearances: The plan shall include confirmation of existing clearances, detail the Offeror’s process for obtaining clearances, and outline the schedule for obtaining any required new clearances by the start of the period of performance.

b. Facilities Clearances: The offeror shall provide proof of an existing facilities clearance at the level specified in the DD254. An offeror’s statement that it has a facility clearance is not sufficient proof. The Government will confirm the facility clearance.

NOTE: Offerors that do not have a Facility Clearance at the level specified in the DD254 at time of proposal submission will not be evaluated for award. No award will be made to any offeror which does not possess a facility clearance issued by the Defense Security Service at the level specified in the DD254.

(b) Paragraph 4.1 (g) (8) is inserted as follows:

In accordance with current NAVSEA policy, for any fully burdened labor rate (calculated as direct labor plus all applicable burdens and fee) greater than $156.00 per hour, the Offeror shall provide a justification containing the following:

(a) Justify why the proposed individual qualifies for a fully burdened labor rate of greater than $156.00 per hour, focusing on specific qualifications and experience.

(b) Justify why the qualifications and experience outlined in (a) are needed to accomplish the tasking of the Statement of Work/Performance Work Statement, including why the tasking cannot be performed by personnel with lesser qualifications and/or experience.

Each justification provided above shall be no greater than one (1) page.

The tables above represent the Government’s estimated labor mix for the CPFF tasking. Offerors may propose this estimated labor mix or deviate. If an Offeror’s proposed labor mix differs from the Government’s estimate by 5% or greater, in terms of both labor category or task level of effort distribution, the Offeror shall provide a rationale to explain how the Offeror’s mix is more appropriate than the Government’s estimate, as well as what the benefit of the deviation is to the Government. The rationale shall not exceed 5 pages. The labor matrix is not subject to a page limitation. In order for the labor mix rationale to demonstrate the deviating labor mix is appropriate, it shall address items (1) through (3) below.

(1) Why the Offeror’s deviation is more beneficial to the Government than the estimated labor mix.

(2) How the proposed labor mix deviation in terms of level and area of expertise (e.g., proposed labor categories) is suitable for performance of the SOW tasking as it relates to the estimated level of effort per SOW task and associated SOW complexity identified in the SOW.

(3) How relationships between labor categories will be structured and operate in concert at the task and/or subtask level to accomplish the tasking efficiently and effectively (e.g., peer review process, senior to junior level oversight and interaction, etc.)

(4) Labor Categories cited must be titles listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website http://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/WarfareCenters/NUWCNewport/Partnerships/CommercialContracts /LaborCategories.aspx. For Labor Categories that provide for various Levels (I, II, III, IV), select the Level that matches the proposed individual . Note for Service Contract Labor Standards (SCLS), formerly Service Contract Act (SCA) Labor Categories Only: Offerors may propose an SCLS labor category listed in the SCLS Directory of Occupations (see http://www.dol.gov/whd/govcontracts/sca.htm) even if the SCLS labor category is not listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website. The appropriateness of any proposed SCLS labor category not listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website shall be included in the Offeror's explanation provided in accordance with paragraph (a), above.

(5) Number of hours must be assigned to each Labor Category selected.

(6) The offeror shall include a breakdown of the proposed distribution of hours between Government site(s) and contractor(s) site(s). If the proposed distribution of hours varies by more than five percent (5%) from the Government’s estimated distribution of hours as specified below of the solicitation, the offeror shall provide an explanation detailing why the proposed distribution is appropriate and how contract performance will not be negatively impacted by the variance.

(7) 20% of the labor hours are anticipated to be performed at the Contractor Facilities; 80% of the labor hours are anticipated to be performed at the Government Site.

(8) If a single labor category is proposed with both Key and Non-Key Personnel the offeror shall breakdown the distribution of hours between each Key and Non-Key Person.

(9) Identify all proposed Key Personnel who are not currently employees of the Offeror or proposed subcontractor, and who are proposed to immediately relocate. Provide a statement signed by that person indicating their intent to be hired or relocated if the contract is awarded to the Offeror. If the signed statement includes any references or enclosures the offeror shall provide the references and enclosures with the statement as part of the proposal. Failure to provide references or enclosures or submission of enclosures that violate DFARS 222.7402 and DFARS 252.222-7006 may render an offeror's proposal ineligible for award.

(10) Provide resume(s) for Key Personnel. Key Personnel must be personnel that will be charged directly to the contract and not as part of any indirect cost. Qualifications of Key Personnel shall not be based on the presumption of future education or experience.

(11) Resumes are not required for Non-Key Personnel. Resumes submitted for Non-Key Personnel will not be evaluated.

(12) Each resume shall not exceed two (2) pages. Resumes shall include: employee name, number of years of professional experience, current position/title/employer, educational history, chronology of professional experience, current level of security clearance.

Spreadsheets, either in the format above or contractor format, shall contain intact formulas used to calculate any aspect of the proposal (i.e., burdened labor rates, fee, etc.). Spreadsheets provided without intact formulas are unacceptable and may render an offeror’s proposal ineligible for award. However, prime offerors and subcontractor offerors shall provide a single spreadsheet supporting the total amount of all CLINs listed in Section B of the solicitation.

If the offeror intends to subcontract 70% of the total cost of all work to be performed, provide information required by FAR 52.215-22(c).
