Instructions to Offerors

Award will be made to the Offeror whose quotation provides the best value to the Government based upon evaluation of all submitted quotations using the criteria below and a tradeoff process. By submitting a quote, an Offeror agrees to perform all of the PWS requirements, and the quotation shall reflect its ability to do so.

“Best value” means the expected outcome of the acquisition that, in the Government’s estimation, provides the greatest overall benefit in response to the requirement (FAR 2.101).

“Tradeoff” means that the Government may accept other than the lowest priced quotation, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation criteria and the Government reasonably determines that the perceived benefits of a higher priced quotation warrant the additional price.

For any sections of a Quote with a defined page limit, pages exceeding the specified limit will be removed and not forwarded for evaluation. Documents submitted with the Quote as deliverables will not count against the page limit.

1. Request for Quote:

This solicitation is a Request for Quote (RFQ). Any reference to “offer(s)” or “proposal(s)” shall mean “quotation(s)”, and any reference to “offeror(s)” shall mean “quoter(s)”.

2. Responses to this RFQ SHALL include the following:

Offerors must furnish sufficient details in their quotations to allow the Government to assess the quotations against the evaluation criteria listed below. Offerors should not simply restate or rephrase the Government’s requirements as stated in the PWS. Rather, the Offeror shall demonstrate in its own words a thoughtful and convincing approach to address how the Offeror intends to perform the specific requirement stated in this Request for Quotation. The Government will evaluate the following factors:

• Technical Approach Sub-factor 2: Language Expertise Sub-factor 3: Prior Experience

• Past Performance (Gated Criteria)

• Price

a. Offeror shall submit technical capabilities for each cultural relations specialist (CRS).

ii. Certifications or other documentation demonstrating language proficiency for each CRS.

iii. Relevant past experience to include two (2) references (limit, one (1) page per CRS).

b. Offeror shall submit Capabilities/Execution Plan that demonstrates how they will perform the items listed in section 2 of the Performance Work Statement inclusive of a post award kickoff meeting

c. Offeror shall submit relevant past performance within three (3) years of the date of the RFQ. Relevant past performance is performance similar in scope to the requirement of this RFQ.

d. The offeror shall provide three (3) past performance references. The Government reserves the right to contact the references provided.

3. Questions regarding this solicitation: Are due to the Government points of contact listed below, no later than 12:00 Central Europe Time (CET) on 14 May 2025.

4. Response due time/date/location: See BLOCK 8 on page 1 of SF 1449. All proposal components shall be transmitted via email to the individual listed below.

Solicitation response recipient:

Name: Tedra Thompson Email: tedra.n.thompson.civ@us.navy.mil

Name: Richard Skinner Email: richard.a.skinner8.civ@us.navy.mil

52.212-2 ADDENDUM

(a) The Government will award a firm-fixed priced contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered. The following factors shall be used to evaluate offers:

Factor 1 – Technical approach. The experience and language expertise of contracted personnel will be evaluated to determine the degree to which they possess the qualifications to perform their proposed duties under the contract.

Sub-factor 2: Language expertise requirement. The CRS must be able to communicate clearly and effectively on a University degree level (or higher) in written and spoken French and Somali with a minimum of a working proficiency in English. The ability to also speak and understand Djibouti's local languages, including Afar, and Arabic, is preferred. The CRS will be required to translate documents and conversations in the course of performing his/her duties. The contractor shall provide at a minimum any language proficiency certifications.

Sub-factor 3: Prior experience requirement. Approximately five (5) years or more of work experience in international business, government, public relations, public policy, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) or a related professional field is preferred. The CRS must be able to develop a working knowledge and relationship with key personnel from the U.S. Embassy and various Djiboutian government ministries and heads of government. Preferred experience includes having a familiarity with the foreign claims process and legal terminology. Prior experience working with international media is preferred, as the CRS will be required to interact with Djiboutian and international media outlets. The contractor shall provide no more than one (1) page summary citing work experience in international business, government, public relations, public policy and non-government organizations.

The quote will be evaluated on how the offeror intends to organize, staff, and manage the contract and the means that will be used to accomplish the contract requirements in accordance with the Capabilities/Execution plan. The degree to which the quote demonstrates an understanding of the requirements will be evaluated, as well as the offeror's planned management of consultants and subcontractors, if applicable. The offeror’s quote shall be evaluated using a combined technical/risk rating mailto:tedra.n.thompson.civ@us.navy.mil mailto:richard.a.skinner8.civ@us.navy.mil adjectival rating method. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the significant strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings.

Factor 2 – Past performance. The offeror's background, experience, and qualifications will be assessed to determine the likelihood that that offeror can successfully perform the contract requirements and the degree of the risk of non-performance. The offeror's past performance on related contracts will be evaluated to determine, as appropriate, successful performance of contract requirements, quality and timeliness of delivery of goods and services, effective management of subcontractors, cost management, level of communication between the contracting parties, proactive management and customer satisfaction.

Factor 2 and the sub-factors within shall be prescribed as a “Pass/Fail” gate that the offeror’s quote must meet before advancing further in the offer evaluation process. Receiving a “Fail” in any one of past performance submissions shall result in an overall rating of “Fail” for Factor 2 and the offeror’s quote shall not be evaluated further. If an offeror does not have a history of relevant contract experience, or if past performance information is not available, the offeror will receive a neutral past performance rating.

The Government reserves the right to assess the past performance of proposed subcontractors. The Government may consider information obtained through other sources including, but not limited to, the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS). The Government will perform past performance evaluation of the Offeror’s CPARS data for recency, relevancy, and performance problems.

Factor 3 – Price. Price analysis will be conducted. The Government will use price analysis to evaluate for fairness and reasonableness. The Offeror shall propose a firm-fixed price for the requirement. The price quote shall identify all labor categories, the number of hours for each labor category, and labor rates.

The Government reserves the right to determine which offers show the capability to meet the requirements of this RFQ.

Options. The Government will evaluate proposed prices for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price of the basic requirement. The six months extension, under FAR Clause 52.217-8, will be included in the total evaluated price with the same unit prices offered for the last option period. The Government may determine that a quotation is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).

The Government will award a single Firm Fixed Price (FFP) contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible offeror whose offer conforming to the solicitation will be most advantageous to the Government, price and other factors considered.

The Contractor shall establish appropriate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect any and all non-public Government data to ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of government data.

The CRS will have a continuing duty to disclose any real or apparent conflict of interest. This may include existing business or financial ventures; personal or professional connections to the Djiboutian government, or local organizations; or past employment. The Contractor shall ensure that it is familiar with Organizational Conflict of Interests (OCI) as defined in FAR Subpart 9.5. The Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer immediately whenever it becomes aware that such access or participation may result in any actual or potential OCI and shall promptly submit a plan to the Contracting Officer to avoid or mitigate any such OCI. The Contractor’s mitigation plan will be determined to be acceptable solely at the discretion of the Contracting Officer and in the event the Contracting Officer unilaterally determines that any such OCI cannot be satisfactorily avoided or mitigated, the Contracting Officer may affect other remedies as he or she deems necessary, including prohibiting the Contractor from participation in subsequent contracted requirements which may be affected by the OCI.
