HQ L-2-0001 ALTERNATIVES TO SPECIFICATIONS OR STANDARDS

(NAVSEA) (AUG 1994)

(a) The Department of Defense is committed to minimizing the incorporation of military and outdated federal and commercial specifications and standards in contracts and is seeking to use alternative, tailored or updated non-government specifications and standards to the maximum extent practicable to satisfy the requirements.

(b) This solicitation contains military, federal and non-government specifications and standards. To assist in the standardization of military/commercial specifications and standards and to enable the Government to evaluate current commercial practices, offerors are invited to propose (1) alternatives to those mandatory military, federal or commercial specifications and standards listed in this solicitation and/or (2) tailoring of mandatory military or federal specifications and standards identified in this solicitation.

(c) Offerors are invited to demonstrate whether the mandatory military, federal or Nongovernment specifications and standards are advantageous to the Government and whether commercial specifications and standards or tailored specifications listed herein would meet the mandatory performance requirements specified in this solicitation.

Offerors should list below any commercial specification or standard and the specification or standard from the solicitation which it would replace. Any proposed tailored specifications should also be listed. Use additional pages as necessary.

SPEC/STD REPLACED SPEC/STD PROPOSED

(Including number, rev. and date)

A copy of any proposed alternative commercial specifications or standards as well as any tailored specifications and standards shall be included in the offeror's proposal. Rationale which describes the advantages of the proposed alternative shall also be included in the offeror's proposal as detailed in the paragraph entitled "Instructions to Offerors" contained in Section L of this solicitation.

(d) The Government shall consider the alternative specifications and standards in meeting the solicitation requirements during the source selection evaluation. Evaluation criteria for alternative specifications and standards is contained in Section M of this solicitation. If the Government accepts the proposed alternative specifications and standards, the offeror's proposal may be incorporated into the resultant contract, either in whole or in part, at the Government's discretion. It is requested that all recommendations be submitted within five (5) days from the date of this solicitation. Acceptance by the Government of alternative specifications or standards does not obligate the Government to conduct discussions under this solicitation.

HQ L-2-0003 FACILITY SECURITY CLEARANCE (NAVSEA) (APR 2015)

(a) No award will be made to any offeror which does not possess a facility security clearance issued by the Defense Security Service at the SECRET level. Naval Sea Systems Command will initiate appropriate security clearance action for any apparent successful offeror which does not already possess such clearance. The Government is not obligated to delay award pending security clearance of any offeror.

(b) The security classification of this procurement is specified in the Contract Security Classification Specification, DD Form 254, attached hereto.

HQ L-2-0005 NOTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL ORGANIZATIONAL CONFLICT(S)

OF INTEREST (NAVSEA) (JUN 1994)

(a) Offerors are reminded that certain existing contractual arrangements may preclude, restrict or limit participation, in whole or in part, as either a subcontractor or as a prime contractor under this competitive procurement. Of primary concern are those contractual arrangements in which the Offeror provides support to NUWCDIVNPT Code 85 or PEO LCS PMS406, in support of operation of the office or any of its programs. General guidance may be found in FAR 9.505;

however, this guidance is not all inclusive. The Offeror's attention is directed to the "Organizational Conflict of Interest" (or similar) clauses in Section C which prohibits the prime or subcontractor from providing certain supplies or services to the Government as described above during the period of the current "support" contract(s) or for a period after completion of the "support" contract(s). Notwithstanding the existence or non-existence of an Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) clause or similar requirement in current or completed contract(s), the offeror shall comply with FAR 9.5 and identify whether an OCI exists and not rely solely on the presence of an OCI requirement.

(b) If a potential conflict of interest exists at any tier, each potential prime offeror is requested to provide the following information in their proposal: (1) the contract number and name and phone number of the Contracting Officer for the contract which gives rise to a potential organizational conflict of interest; (2) a copy of the requirement; (3) the statement of work (or technical instruction) from the existing contract; (4) a brief description of the type of work to be performed by each subcontractor under the competitive procurement; and (5) any additional information the Contracting Officer should consider in making a determination of whether a conflict of interest exists. The Government may independently verify the information received from the offeror.

Notwithstanding the above, the Government reserves the right to determine whether a conflict of interest exists based on any information received from any source.

(c) Those Offerors deemed to have a conflict of interest may be ineligible for award. Failure to provide the information in a timely manner does not waive the Government's rights to make a conflict of interest determination. The Offeror is notified that if it expends time and money on proposal preparation, such expenditure is at its own risk that the Government will not determine that an organizational conflict of interest exists.

(d) Any potential prime contractor which proposes a subcontractor later determined to have a conflict of interest and deemed ineligible to participate in the current competition, may not be granted the opportunity to revise its proposal to remove the ineligible subcontractor. The Government reserves the right to determine which offerors remain in the competitive range through the normal source selection process.

(e) If the Offeror determines that a potential organizational conflict of interest does not exist at any tier, the Offeror shall include a statement to that effect in its response to this solicitation.

HQ L-2-0009 SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN (NAVSEA) (JUN 1999)

Offeror shall submit as part of its proposal a written proposed subcontracting plan in accordance with the clause entitled "SMALL BUSINESS SUBCONTRACTING PLAN" (FAR 52.219-9).

The plan shall include the Congressionally mandated five percent (5%) goal for small disadvantaged business concerns or a detailed explanation as to why the goal cannot be included in the plan.

Demonstrate that the Offeror is capable of performing all aspects of the PWS by providing a complete labor matrix that correlates personnel assignment to each task of the PWS. Include persistent subcontract labor. Demonstrate in both the matrix and the rationale that the team possesses the education, skills, licensing, and certifications necessary to meet the requirements of the PWS. Demonstrate the experience level of the workforce is sufficient to consistently deliver timely and accurate business and technical products. The labor matrix shall correlate Key Personnel, labor categories for Non-Key Personnel, and corresponding hours for each task, and subtask of the PWS. It is important for the Offeror to demonstrate the ability of the Key Personnel to lead the organization with both technical and business acumen. Demonstrate risk/opportunities and associated mitigations related to the Offeror’s ability to meet mission success with the labor mix presented. The Offeror should demonstrate that it can provide the appropriate labor skill mix to consistently meet mission requirements associated with measure of risk balance. There is no page limit for the labor matrix.

The Government’s hour and labor mix table (Attachment 07d) provides the Government’s estimate of the total annual hours required to perform the PWS for all contract years. This is provided for informational purposes only.

The successful offerors will be responsible for performing the entire PWS, so Offerors shall bid the hours and mix required to perform that effort. Therefore, Offerors may reasonably deviate from this Government estimate, but should be aware that the Government will consider this estimate and the estimate's supporting documentation in its evaluation. The Government will evaluate each labor matrix according to the offeror's specific technical approach, but offerors that deviate from this task breakdown estimate bear the burden of demonstrating that their labor matrix will meet the Government's requirements with their proposed technical approach.

The Offeror shall also provide a rationale to support the proposed labor mix.

Labor Categories cited should be titles listed on the NUWCDIVNPT Contracts Website http://www.navsea.navy.mil/Home/Warfare-Centers/NUWC-Newport/Partnerships/Commercial-Contracts/Labor- Categories/ . For Labor Categories that provide for various Levels (I, II, III, IV), select the Level that matches the proposed individual. Labor Category selection is for the purpose of technical evaluation of Non-Key Personnel as well as later eCRAFT reporting. Offerors may propose a labor category even if the labor category is not listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website.

The appropriateness of any proposed labor category not listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website shall be clearly explained. The Offeror shall provide a mapping of any company-specific labor categories it, or one of its subcontractors, proposes in the Staffing Plan to the labor categories defined on the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website. This mapping must include a description, similar in detail to the labor categories defined on the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website, of the requirements/qualifications associated with each company-specific labor category contained in the Offeror’s Staffing Plan, including company-specific labor categories proposed by subcontractors. For Non-Key Personnel, technical evaluation of the proposal will be made based on the labor category description. For Key Personnel, technical evaluation of the proposal will be made on the merits of the individuals' qualifications demonstrating the breadth and experience of the individuals and not on the Labor Category description.

Number of hours must be assigned to each Labor Category selected. Attachment 09 contains average workload factors for many of the PWS tasks. Attachment 07d contains Government estimates of total annual hours by eCRAFT labor series or code. Both attachments are provided for informational purposes only. Offerors should note that, while their proposal labor mixes may reasonably deviate from these estimates, the Government will consider this estimate and the estimate's supporting documentation in its evaluation. The Government will evaluate each Staffing Plan according to the offeror's specific technical approach, but offerors that deviate from this labor mix estimate bear the burden of demonstrating that their staffing plan will meet the Government's requirements with their proposed technical approach.

If a single category is proposed with both Key and Non-Key Personnel the Offeror shall breakdown the distribution of hours between each Key Person and each Non-Key Person.

AUTEC is a remote and isolated location maintained and operated by the Offeror’s workforce. Attachment 09, Workload Factors, identifies limited functional areas that are expected to be required within the Government offices in CONUS (primarily West Palm Beach (WPB)). The Government anticipates that a maximum of 36% of CONUS hours proposed will be at the Government site. Offerors shall address any deviation of greater than 5% from the Government's anticipated percentage in its submitted explanation as to how the proposed labor matrix correlates to the PWS. The Offeror is expected to perform the requirements of this contract from AUTEC/Andros, AUTEC/WPB, and its own facility(ies). The offeror shall include a breakdown of the proposed distribution of all proposed hours between CONUS and OCONUS Government and contractor(s) site(s).

Describe the approach for providing the Key Personnel required in Attachment 13 Key Personnel Requirements over the life of the contract. Key Personnel are designated as AUTEC Project Manager (PM), Enterprise Operations Manager, Test Operations Manager, and Base Operations Manager.

Include a resume and a signed letter of intent for all key personnel or an explanation why a signed letter cannot be provided. Resumes shall be no more than three pages in length each, and are not included as part of total page count for this subfactor. Although Section M contemplates some Key Personnel becoming unavailable prior to contract award, Offerors shall only propose Key Personnel resumes for individuals that, at the time of proposal submission, the offeror has a good faith expectation of providing at award. Additionally, the Government considers the submission of Letters of Intent for proposed contingent Key Personnel to be material to the proposal since these Letters of Intent demonstrate the offeror's ability to hire personnel with the qualifications proposed at the salary proposed.

Identify the designated PM. Address the PM's authority, ability to independently commit company resources to performance of this contract, and the PM's line of communication to senior company management. Describe the PM's previous experience managing similar efforts.

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

All personnel must have appropriate security clearances, as specified on DD Form 254.

Describe your approach to staffing non-key personnel positions; identify any programs to maintain or develop your workforce including upward mobility, tuition assistance, and internships.

Identify all proposed Non-Key personnel (identified by labor category, not by name) who are not currently employees of the Offeror or proposed subcontractor, or who are proposed to permanently relocate..

The Government is committed to maintaining an excellent relationship with its host country, the Commonwealth of the Bahamas, at every level of interaction. To assist in meeting that objective:

(1) Describe your approach to management of the indigenous workforce.

(2) Describe your approach to addressing the following part of Article V of Attachment 06: “Nationals of The Bahamas who are suitably qualified will be employed to the maximum extent feasible in connection with activities under this Agreement.”

(3) Transportation options for Bahamian nationals to the AUTEC site are limited, and Government furnished property will not be provided to assist Bahamian commutes. Describe strategies to address this limitation.

3.1.4 Subfactor 4 – Hypothetical Approaches

The Offeror shall provide a detailed approach/response to each hypothetical task below, addressing its understanding of the issue(s) and requirement(s).

3.1.4.1 High Intensity Activity

Hypothetical Task: There is a major Submarine Commanders’ Course (SCC) taking place on Andros for 14 day 24/7 hour test period. 60 heavyweight torpedoes are planned for use during SCC. Three submarines, four surface ships, and two helicopters are participants in the exercise. At the same time, Naval Facilities Command (NAVFAC) is part way through a 3-month repair effort to recover from hurricane damage to 14 buildings with 130 construction workers deployed to AUTEC. The AUTEC contractor has responsibility to complete three major repair projects scheduled to be completed before the completion of SCC. The 130-ton crane breaks leaving one crane operational to support NAVFAC material construction offloading from the AUTEC barge and SCC weapon handling evolution.

The repair effort for the torpedo postrun processing facility has developed issues so the NAVFAC contractor will not be able to make the facility operational for the SCC event.

Required Response: Provide a plan specific to this Hypothetical Task to address the approach that the Offeror would use to maintain a balance between Test Operations priorities and its requirements and Base Operations repair and construction requirements. In this plan, describe the customer relations/customer service approach as it relates to the technical interface with these Range Users and the ability to conduct the SCC operation. Explain in the plan how the Offeror would manage customer (AUTEC) expectations. The plan should include discussion of how the Offeror would accommodate the high number of transient visitors using housing, dining, and infrastructure resources. Address how the Offeror would address the conflicting priority that arises from the failed crane and its approach to conducting this SCC operation with the unplanned outage to the postrun facility.

3.1.4.2 Range Customer Satisfaction

Hypothetical Task: A Helicopter Advanced Readiness Program (HARP) requiring operation support for a 14 day 24/7 hour test period that includes accommodating 200 transient customers in residence is scheduled for 1-15 December. Assume that the team will launch 14 light weight torpedoes requiring recovery during daytime hours in SeaState 4 conditions.

Required Response: For this Hypothetical Task, describe the planning process to be employed to show an understanding of the breadth of the integrated operations required to conduct a HARP. In this Hypothetical Task response, include provision of accommodations and infrastructure to support the evolution. Describe how to survey the team to assess contractor performance in supporting the HARP presented in this Hypothetical Task. Describe the daily support requirements that would be provided during this Hypothetical Task’s HARP from Range User boots on the ground until FINEX and subsequent departure from AUTEC. Details in the response to this Hypothetical Task should include methods of launch and recovery support, preparation of targets, and post-mission analysis.

3.1.4.3 AUTEC Boats and their Home Port

Assume the AUTEC pier at AUTEC/Andros Island, which is currently in need of repair, further degrades to the point of becoming completely unusable. Currently, numerous AUTEC boats are aged as shown in the Attachment 09 – Workload Factors. The Offeror is responsible for pier maintenance (PWS 4.3.1.1) and Marine Systems (4.2.4.1). AUTEC operations must continue without the use of the AUTEC/Andros Island pier.

Required Response: For this Hypothetical Task, provide an executable plan for continuing to meet Marine Systems mission requirements in a cost effective manner without the pier. The Offeror should consider the age and size of the vessels within Marine Systems and address recommended changes to meet mission requirements while cost effectively operating without a pier. AUTEC Marine Systems investments/disposals may be considered. Compare the plan developed to address this hypothetical task to the baseline execution approach the Offeror proposes in response to Subfactor 1, Capabilities, for pier maintenance (PWS 4.3.1.1) and Marine Systems (4.2.4.1) and quantitatively demonstrate this plan’s cost effectiveness while maintaining executability. Address if any Government agreements would be needed to accommodate the plan. Address any Government investments required to support the plan and show an out year cost offset to recoup such an investment. Separate infrastructure costs from operational costs in the response.

3.1.5 Subfactor 5 – Small Business Participation

(a) DO NOT SUBMIT DOLLAR AMOUNTS FOR THIS SECTION. The Offeror shall submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) that is separate from, but complimentary to, its Subcontracting Plan.

The SBPCD shall include a Small Business Participation percentage for this Contract. A Small Business Offeror shall indicate the percentage of work performed by themselves, as well as by any Small Business Subcontractors.

Proposals submitted by Large Business Concerns shall indicate the percentage of work performed by Small Business Subcontractors.

(b) The Government’s minimum Small Business Participation as a percentage of total contract value is: “10%”. The Offeror is encouraged to propose a Small Business Participation objective percentage as high as is practicable, as long as the percentage is supported by the related Small Business participation approach outlined in paragraph (c) below. Please note that the Offeror’s proposed Small Business Participation percentage shall be incorporated into the Contract upon award.

(c) The Offeror shall provide an approach for how they intend to meet the proposed Small Business participation percentage. The Offeror shall provide a rationale that demonstrates that the tasks assigned to the selected Small Businesses are meaningful to the overall success of this Contract. The Offeror shall explain the reasons for and advantages of selecting particular Small Business subcontractors.

(d) The North American Industry Classification (NAICS) code applicable to the requirements contained within this solicitation is 541330 and the Size Standard is $38.5M.

3.2 Factor 2 - Past Performance

(a) The Offeror shall provide three (3) past performance references that reflect recent relevant experience performed within the last three years of the solicitation closing date and demonstrate the ability to handle the scope and breadth of the tasking in the Performance Work Statement. Discuss how the references provided are relevant to the work being proposed. Include contract/task order number, contract/task order type, program name, total contract/task order cost, short description of work performed, and names and valid telephone numbers for the Procuring Contract Officer (PCO), Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), and Program Manager (PM).

(b) Each past performance reference shall not exceed three (3) pages per reference, for a total of nine (9) pages.

(c) Subcontractors performing more than twenty-five percent (25%) of the total work scope in any of the three PWS Chapters (i.e., Enterprise, Test Operation or Base Operations), or more than ten percent (10%) of the total PWS work scope, shall also submit three (3) past performance references that reflect recent relevant experience performed within the last three years of the solicitation closing date and demonstrate the ability to handle the scope and breadth of the tasking in the PWS.
