(3) A plan for obtaining personnel clearances by the time of performance, as specified in the DD254. The plan shall include confirmation of existing clearances, detail the Offeror’s process for obtaining personnel clearances, and outline the schedule for obtaining any required new personnel clearances.

The Personnel Clearance Plan shall not exceed two (2) pages in length.

(4) In accordance with Section C, Section I, and the Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) provision of this section, identification of any and all conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest related to this solicitation and provide a mitigation plan to address the conflicts and/or potential conflicts. There is no page count limitation for the OCI submission. If no conflicts of interest or potential conflicts of interest exist, a written statement certifying this shall be provided.

(5) Proof of Quality Management Systems Certification that, at a minimum, meets ISO 9001:2008.

3.0 NON-COST EVALUATION FACTORS

Offerors shall address each factor and subfactor in the format and sequence identified in the solicitation. Offerors shall provide information in sufficient detail to allow the Government to assess the Offeror’s capability. The proposal shall be detailed and clearly stated to allow an assessment by the Government without the need for additional clarifications. Proposals that do not contain the information required in the solicitation risk being determined unacceptable.

In response to the RFP, the Offeror shall address the below factors.

FACTORS Elements of Consideration Technical Capability Element A - Technical Task Approach

Element B - Hypothetical Task Approach Element C - Personnel Element D - Management Approach

Past Performance N/A Small Business Participation N/A Small Business Subcontracting Plan N/A

3.1 Factor 1 - Technical Capability

3.1.1 Element A - Technical Task Approach

The Offeror shall provide a detailed approach to handle the technical task below which demonstrates its understanding of the issue(s) and requirement(s) and includes the types of personnel required (i.e. labor categories) and the number of hours per labor category per task to complete the technical task. Responses shall not include any classified data. The Offeror shall ensure that any labor categories or Key Person(s) identified in response to each technical task are included in the proposed labor matrix submitted in accordance with 3.1.3 Personnel.

The technical task response shall not exceed six (6) pages total. There is no page limitation for any hypothetical labor matrix proposed in response to each Technical Task.

1. APG standard repair and refurbishment (Section 4.1 of SOW);

2. LRU repair and restoration (Section 4.2 of SOW);

3. The steps to upgrade, refurbish, and maintain SubHDR test equipment (Section 4.5 of SOW); and

4. The Offeror’s Quality Assurance (QA) program and how it will be applied for work performed under the contract. The Offeror shall include applicable requirements of the standard(s) with regards to such things as design, work operations, in-process control, testing, and inspection; attention to such factors as organization, planning, work instructions, documentation control, and advanced metrology.

3.1.2 Element B - Hypothetical Task Approach

The Offeror shall provide a detailed approach to handle each hypothetical task below which demonstrates its understanding of the issue(s) and requirement(s) and includes the types of personnel required (i.e. labor categories) and the number of hours per labor category per task to complete each hypothetical task. Responses shall not include any classified data. The Offeror shall ensure that any labor categories or Key Person(s) identified in response to each hypothetical task are included in the proposed labor matrix submitted in accordance with 3.1.3 Personnel.

Hypothetical Task #1 – Related to SOW Section 4.4 and 4.6 - The SubHDR National Maintenance Center (NMC) has seen the start of a recurring problem with masts received back from the fleet that has not been prevalent before.

The Traveling Wave Tube (TWT) amplifiers have been exhibiting RF faults attributed to an unstable output. The TWTs have proven to be very reliable throughout the life of the programs, but the amplifiers in question have considerable age on them. Through the refurbishment process, the TWTs have been replaced with new TWTs that have been in stock for a number of years. The new TWTs have also begun to show the same symptoms as the amplifiers they replaced. Describe the approach you would use to determine the cause for the occurrences of the TWT faulting. Describe the process that is executed to remedy the problem after the cause has been determined.

Describe any changes to QA that can be instituted to protect against future failures.

The hypothetical task response shall not exceed four (4) pages. There is no page limitation for any hypothetical labor matrix proposed in response to each Hypothetical Task.

Hypothetical Task #2 – Related to SOW Section 4.4 - The SubHDR program has masts that have been in service for well over a decade and there currently is not a program in place for a next generation mast. This leads to SubHDR mast components potentially being in service past their original design life. Since a SubHDR failure at sea will eliminate a primary source of communications and degrade mission capabilities, every effort must be made to mitigate the possibility of mast failures. Describe the approach you would use to initiate a Service Life Extension Plan (SLEP) including: a) determining each component’s Life Cycle Status and expected time to End of Life, b) addressing obsolescence or lack of availability of components in need of replacement, and c) evaluating potential system upgrade or modernization that would lengthen the Life Cycle of the SubHDR mast. Concentrate on a pro-active and predictive approach, so that Service Life Extension (SLE) can be accomplished before the system fails to meet its requirements and before the operations and support costs increase by more than 5% per year.

The hypothetical task response shall not exceed two (2) pages. There is no page limitation for any hypothetical labor matrix proposed in response to each Hypothetical Task.

3.1.3 Element C - Personnel

(A) Key Personnel:

(a) Offerors shall propose a minimum of three Key Personnel to support Tasks 4.1 through 4.6 in the SOW. The desired requirements for the Key Personnel are as follows:

ENGINEER, MECHANICAL III

Education: Bachelor’s level degree in Mechanical Engineering.

Ability to repair, install, test, and calibrate Sub-HDR RF, electro-mechanical, electrical, electronic systems. Ability to troubleshoot Sub-HDR systems to the circuit card/subassembly level.

In addition, the Senior Technical Representative (STR) designated to manage tasks and serve as the primary point of contact with the NUWCDIVNPT Contracting Officer Representative (COR) shall be proposed as a Key Person.

Offerors shall identify the STR’s labor category. The STR may be one of the three Key Personnel desired above or entirely different. Address the STR’s authority, ability to independently commit company resources to performance under the contract, and the STR’s line of communication to senior company management. Describe the STR’s previous experience managing similar efforts.

Offerors shall provide a resume for each proposed Key Person. 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, and, as the Offeror determines, information inserted in the Technical Approach relating the experience to specific tasking.

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.

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.

(B) Labor Matrix & Other Personnel Requirements

(a) The Offeror shall provide a complete labor matrix representing the full five (5) year completion-type effort and demonstrating an appropriate mix of personnel to perform both the FFP and CPFF tasks of the SOW. The labor matrix is not subject to a page limitation. The labor matrix shall correlate Key Personnel with their corresponding hours to each assigned CPFF SOW task. The labor matrix shall also correlate the labor categories for all Non-Key Personnel with their corresponding hours to the CPFF SOW tasks. Hours do not need to be identified for the FFP SOW tasks unless the offeror proposes Key Personnel for both the FFP and CPFF tasks; then, the offeror shall identify the hours for the Key Personnel for the FFP SOW task(s) and the CPFF Sow tasks(s).

(1) Labor Categories cited must be titles listed at the NUWC Division Newport Contracts Website https://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. 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.

(2) Number of hours must be assigned to each Labor Category proposed.

(3) The Offeror shall include a breakdown of the proposed distribution of hours between Government site(s) and contractor(s) site(s). The Government anticipates that eighty percent (80%) of the labor hours will be performed at Contractor site(s) and twenty percent (20%) of labor hours will be performed at Government site(s). If the proposed distribution of hours varies by more than five percent (5%) from the Government’s estimated distribution of hours, 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.

(4) 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.

Below is the Government’s estimated labor mix for each of the CPFF SOW tasks, inclusive of the base year and all option years:
