SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 30 - BLOCK 14 CONTINUATION PAGE

The following have been added by full text:

AMENDMENT 0003

The purpose of this amendment is to address questions that were received in response to the solicitation.

QUESTION 1: Paragraph 5.1b, specifies that the cost of general purpose items required to conduct normal business are not allowable under this contract. Since it is anticipated that this will be an acquisition of a commercial item with adequate price competition, why is it expected that any costs are unallowable?

ANSWER 1: This amendment hereby removes paragraph 5.1(b) from NAVAIR Clause 5252.215-9522, Section L, Part B, Volume 5.0.

QUESTON 2: Paragraph 5.2d, specifies that the contractor provide the build-up of Fixed Hourly Rate CLINs. Why is this cost detail required if it is anticipated there will be adequate price competition?

ANSWER 2: This amendment hereby removes paragraph 5.2(d) from NAVAIR Clause 5252.215-9522, Section L, Part B, Volume 5.0.

QUESTION 3: Page 85, 52.230-1, specifies that contractors shall examine each part of the FAR and provide the requested information in order to determine CAS requirements applicable to any resultant contract. Since this is a competitively bid, fixed price contract; is it not correct that CAS does not apply to this solicitation or any resultant contract?

ANSWER 3: CAS does not apply to this solicitation or any resultant contract. This amendment hereby removes FAR Clause 52.230-1.

QUESTION 4: In amendment 0002, reference question 13 (Ref PWS 3.3.6.1) the answer stated refers back to PWS 3.3.6.1. In order to completely understand the requirement, more clarification is needed. It states that "all commercially procured parts shall be new, not reused, recycled, remanufactured or reconditioned." However Section 2.1.3 on page 97 of the RFP requests the offeror provide a strategy for supporting CFM along with our plan to meet those requirements; it goes on to request strategies to address parts constraints, including "internal repairable pools." Repairable pools would not be "new" condition, and at some point even repairable pools would have been procured. Please clarify so that we all understand the requirement.

ANSWER 4: Requirement is for offeror to provide supportability strategy for material requirements of the contract. If repairable parts or assemblies are procured by the contractor to have a pool of assets to support the contract, they are to still be new, not reused, recycled, remanufactured or reconditioned as per the PWS. The USN is not mandating use of specific strategies for material support.

QUESTION 5: In amendment 0002, reference question 34 (Use of PMA material). The answer again refers to PWS 3.3.6.1. It needs to be understood that in the aviation industry as a whole, "PMA" (Part Manufacturing Authority) could be in some cases be considered as "OEM". An example of this would be T56 series 3 first stage turbine blades with the Rolls-Royce part number assigned to them. They are not only being manufactured by the "true OEM (RR) but also an FAA approved source. The PMA approved source may consider themselves as "OEM." Please clearly spell out if these types of parts are allowed.

ANSWER 5: Parts classified as Critical Application Item (CAI) or Critical Safety Item (CSI) shall be from OEM, OEM approved sources, or USN approved sources. Only PMA parts and sources approved by USN are considered USN approved parts and sources. OEM refers to the design activity of original manufacture. In this instance, the T56 engine OEM is Rolls-Royce Corp (RRC).

The solicitation closing date is NOT extended.

L – (1) CONTENT OF PROPOSALS (SUPPLIES OR SERVICES) (JUN 2011) (REV AUG 2012)

PART A GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL

The Offeror is required to submit sufficient information concerning the following areas to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain capabilities of the Offeror to perform the requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to permit evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s capability to meet or exceed the defined elements as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements, associated risks and is able, willing and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements, and that the Offeror has valid and practical solutions for all requirements and potential risk areas. Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The Offeror has the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance with all the evaluation factors and or sub elements identified in this solicitation. The Offeror is advised that the Government may incorporate into the final contract enhancing features included in the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the Government. With the exception of the Price/Cost volume, no cost or pricing information should appear in any volume. Alternate proposals are not acceptable.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. The Offeror is responsible to present enough information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposed work effort, support, and approach, as well as the price/cost proposal without opening discussions. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, or can and/or will comply with, the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information are considered inadequate by the Government, and may render a rating of unacceptable. For the purpose of this solicitation, relevance is defined as something that has a logical connection with the matter under consideration. Such aspects of relevance include the type of effort (e.g., development, production, repair), the type of requirements (e.g., weapon systems, information systems, engineering services, scheduled depot maintenance), service similarity, service complexity, contract type, contract dollar value, the division of the company that will perform the work, and degree of participation by principal subcontractors, team members, or critical team members. Recency is defined as performance within 5 years of the date of this proposal submission.

The Offeror must include any data that illustrates the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. Failure to address a specific factor or sub-element factor clearly may be considered a deficiency. There is no need to repeat information in more than one volume if an overlap exists; the detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

The Offeror is expected to comply with all requirements of the RFP. The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the RFP may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal unawardable, unless the RFP expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the RFP that is not expressly authorized by the RFP to be a deficiency.

Throughout these instructions, “Principal Subcontractors” are defined as a subcontractor who provides at least 20% of the proposed total cost/price (excluding the Offeror’s profit/fee), for the contract. Team Members are the entities that make up a joint venture or any other partnership or teaming arrangement that is formed for the purpose of responding to this solicitation. Critical team members are entities of the Offeror that perform a critical function in the performance of the resulting contract, whether it is technical or financial, and/or have important roles in any high or medium risk areas identified in the Offeror’s proposal.

Questions: Offerors may submit questions requesting clarification of solicitation requirements by emailing the contract specialist at Jillian.Kohler@navy.mil. It is requested that all questions be received within 10 calendar days of the date this solicitation is issued.

The Offeror will ensure that the Price/Cost Volume is provided on a separate CD-ROM. Each CD-ROM is to be labeled for content and the Offeror’s name. If a discrepancy exists between the original paper copy of the proposal and the disk copy, the paper copy will take precedence.

The Offeror must present proposal information in a manner that facilitates a one-to-one comparison between the information presented and this Proposal Instruction. Proposal information must be structured such that its paragraph number/letter is identical to the Proposal Instructions paragraph number to which it is responding, although the Offeror may add lower tier subparagraphs. The Offeror must provide reasons it will not provide information for a particular paragraph. The proposal information instructions are structured by paragraph numbers where first, second, third, and fourth parts correspond to the volume, book, section, and element, etc., in Offeror’s proposal.

3.0 VOLUME 3: PAST PERFORMANCE

3.1 General

The Offeror shall identify any contracts performed within three years of this proposal submission date which contains efforts similar to those performed by Offeror, Offeror’s principal subcontractors, and critical team members in solicitation. (e.g., tasks, complexity, contract type, contract dollar value, etc). Commercial contracts may be included. List the contracts from the most relevant to the least relevant. In general, recent performance will be considered more relevant than older performance. When possible, these contracts should include at least three of the most relevant contracts for the prime contractor, three of the most relevant contracts for each critical team member, and two of the most relevant contracts for each principal subcontractor (as defined in Paragraph I, General Instructions). If proposing as joint venture/single legal entity (JV/SLE), the Offeror should provide the five past performance references for the JV/SLE. If less than the three past performance references are available for the JV/SLE, each member of the JV/SLE should individually submit the five references in addition to their JV/SLE references.

For each contract identified, provide contract data, relevancy, past performance and systemic improvement information as described below. Demonstrate the relevancy of the Offeror’s, and if applicable, the Offeror’s principal subcontractors’ or critical team members’ past performance and systemic improvements with respect to the solicitation requirements. For each past performance problem identified, describe the status of the systemic improvement efforts and, where applicable, demonstrate the impact that the systemic improvement effort had on resolving the problem such that it would not reoccur.

For contracts that have CPARs that are more than 6 months old, i.e., the completion date is more than 6 months before the due date for this Past Performance Volume; the Offeror will forward a copy of the CPARs Update Questionnaire (Section L, Attachment 1) to that contract customer’s Program Manager.

For all contracts identified which do not have CPARs, the Offeror will forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Section L, Attachment 2) to that contract customer’s PCO, Administrative Contracting Officer and Program Manager. All questionnaires shall be forwarded within 15 days from the RFP release date with enough lead-time so that responses can be received by the Government concurrent with the Government’s receipt of the Offeror’s Past Performance information submitted as per paragraph 3.1 and 3.2. The Offeror shall include instructions for the customers to send completed questionnaires within 15 days of its receipt via e-mail to Ms. Jillian Kohler, Contracts, at Email Jillian.Kohler@navy.mil thereby, allowing the customer approximately two weeks to complete their response. This submittal information is provided at the top of the questionnaires to facilitate the Offeror’s effort in meeting these instructions. The Offeror shall follow up to ensure that its customers received the questionnaires. The Government may send any other questionnaires as necessary.

Offerors shall provide written consent from their principal subcontractors and critical team members that will allow the Government to coordinate their Past Performance issue(s) with you as the Prime Offeror. If Offeror’s do not submit such written consent, then the Government will address any past performance issues directly with the principal subcontractor or critical team member and the Offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions. Consequently, for any principal subcontractors and critical team members that do not provide such written consent, provide a point of contact (name, address, phone number, and email address) with which the Government may coordinate these issues and obtain any responses as needed.

Offerors are reminded that the Government may use information other than that provided by the Offerors in their proposals to evaluate past performance. The Government may use Past Performance information obtained from sources other than those identified by the Offeror. The Past Performance Information Reporting system (PPIRs) will be the primary method used to evaluate Past Performance. It is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain the relevance of the data provided. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure the problems it finds in the information provided by the Offeror. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the Offeror.

(a) Contract Data Provide all the information identified below separately for each contract. Additionally, provide this information electronically as a separate file on CD-ROM, which contains Offeror’s Past Performance proposal in a Word Table in the format depicted below:
