DLAD 52.233-9001 Disputes – Agreement to Use Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) (DEC 2016)

(a) The parties agree to negotiate with each other to try to resolve any disputes that may arise. If unassisted negotiations are unsuccessful, the parties will use alternative dispute resolution (ADR) techniques to try to resolve the dispute. Litigation will only be considered as a last resort when ADR is unsuccessful or has been documented by the party rejecting ADR to be inappropriate for resolving the dispute.

(b) Before either party determines ADR inappropriate, that party must discuss the use of ADR with the other party.

The documentation rejecting ADR must be signed by an official authorized to bind the contractor (see FAR 52.233- 1), or, for the Agency, by the contracting officer, and approved at a level above the contracting officer after consultation with the ADR Specialist and legal counsel. Contractor personnel are also encouraged to include the ADR Specialist in their discussions with the contracting officer before determining ADR to be inappropriate.

(c) If you wish to opt out of this clause, check here [ ]. Alternate wording may be negotiated with the contracting officer.

3. Quotes shall include all required documentation as listed below. Submission of a quote that does not contain all items requested below may result in elimination from consideration for award. Instructions contained herein are to serve as a guide in preparation of quotes; however, they are not intended to be all inclusive. The instructions generally describe the type and extent of information, which should be provided in the quote. The offeror is expected to completely examine and analyze all aspects of the technical/business, past performance, and price areas to be addressed, and to include information in the quote, which will enable the evaluators to determine the offeror’s understanding of the requirements in each of the above areas.

FILE TITLE

I Past Performance II Technical/Business Capability https://www.acquisition.gov/browsefar https://www.acq.osd.mil/dpap/dars/dfarspgi/current http://www.dla.mil/HQ/Acquisition/Offers/DLAD.aspx

III Price Quote

Page Limitations: There are no page limitations for the volumes.

FILE I – PAST PERFORMANCE

The Offeror shall provide information on its Past Performance Record. This information will be utilized to determine the relevancy and quality of the Offeror’s past performance record. Past performance references shall be similar to size, scope and complexity to the proposed effort as outlined in the Statement of Work (SOW). A minimum of three references shall be provided to include the customer name, contact information, description of work, award date and contract value. The three reference provided may be government or commercial contracts/projects.

The Government will only consider relevant past performance data. To be considered relevant, the offeror must demonstrate execution of similar contracts in terms of scope and magnitude of effort. The offeror must demonstrate through past performance an ability to perform the work described in the solicitation. This is done by demonstrating that they have successfully executed contracts of similar scope and magnitude within five years of the solicitation issue date. If contract performance is within five years of the solicitation issuance date, the entire contract performance will be considered as part of the past performance evaluation. Offerors shall provide a detailed explanation of the relevance of the contractors or efforts to the requirements of this solicitation. If subcontractor experience is provided as part of the most relevant contracts, it will be given weight relative to the percentage of effort being provided by that particular subcontractor in the offer submitted. The references will be evaluated in the aggregate in order to allow offerors who may not have the entire scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement under one individual contract to still be considered relevant if experience with the full scope, magnitude, and complexity of the requirement can be demonstrated within the allotted number of references as described above.

If an offeror or its subcontractor determines they have no past performance data, they shall provide the following statement in lieu of the information requested below: “(Insert offeror or subcontractor’s name) has determined that they possess no past performance information in accordance with the RFQ.”

The Government may utilize the Federal Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) application, FAPIIS, Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS); or other databases; interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, Contracting Officer’s Representatives (CORs) or other pertinent officials; in addition to the information submitted in the offeror’s past performance quote to determine the recency, quality and relevance of the Offeror’s past performance.

VOLUME II – TECHNICAL/BUSINESS CAPABILITY

The technical/business quote should be written so that technically oriented personnel can make a thorough evaluation and arrive at a sound determination as to whether the proposal meets the requirements of this solicitation.

To this end, the technical/business quote shall be specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and fully demonstrate that the prospective contractor has a thorough understanding of the technical requirements contained in the SOW.

Statements such as “the Offeror understands”, “will comply with the statement of work”, “standard procedures will be employed”, “well known techniques will be used”, and general paraphrasing of the SOW are considered inadequate. The technical/business quote must provide details concerning what the contractor will do and how it will be done. This includes a full explanation of the techniques, disciplines, and procedures proposed to be followed.

The technical quote shall not contain any reference to price; however, information concerning labor allocation and categories, labor hours, consultants, travel, materials, equipment, and other information of interest to technical reviewers shall be contained in the technical quote in sufficient detail so that the Offeror’s understanding of the scope of the work may be adequately evaluated.

The technical volume shall be page numbered, contain a table of contents, be organized in the following sections, and address in detail the following:

1. PART 1: EXECUTIVE SUMMARY. The executive summary shall briefly describe the offeror’s approach for a successful project completion and summarize the contents of the Technical/Business Quote Volume submitted. This information will be used to quickly review the important aspects of the quote.

2. PART 2: TECHNICAL/BUSINESS QUOTE. The Technical/Business quote may include block diagrams, architectural/engineering drawings, schematics, photographs, pamphlets, brochures, catalog cuts, etc., in order to fully explain the offeror’s approach. In general, all statements made in the quote must be substantiated. Unqualified statements made in the quote will not be considered by the evaluators to be valid and such statements will detract from the overall merit of the quote. The quote should demonstrate a thorough understanding of the requirements and include a logical plan for satisfying the Government’s requirements. The quote shall not merely offer to perform the work in accordance with the SOW and associated Drawings, but must outline the actual work proposed as specifically as practical. Where applicable, sketches, drawings, and complete explanations of procedures proposed to be followed should be included. If the offeror lacks certain capabilities with required technology, the methods to support the program shall be explained. No prices are to be included in the Technical/Business Quote.
