1.2.2 Questions

The Contracting Officer listed above is the Government’s primary point of contact for this acquisition.

All questions regarding this solicitation must be submitted in writing. Any questions and subsequent answers will be posted to the public site for Contracting Opportunities at beta.SAM.gov. It is the offeror’s responsibility to continuously monitor the site for updates.

Site Visit: Offeror who did not particiapate in the orginial site visits can request a site visit. To mitigate the risks associated with the delay of this solicitation due to untimely submission of questions, all questions must be submitted to the individual(s) listed below in writing no later than close of business 14 July 2020. Offerors must thoroughly review the specifications and drawings before submitting questions. Any questions not submitted in writing, to include any at the site visit, will not be considered an official response and will not form a basis for an extension of the proposal due date.

1.2.3 Discrepancies

If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the CO in writing with supporting rationale as well as remedies the Offeror is asking the CO to consider as relating to the omission or error. The offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion. This reservation includes matters of additional or substitute pages of the initial proposal.

1.2.4 Discussions

The Government reserves the right to award without discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. If the CO determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the CO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals. If during the evaluation period it is determined to be in the best interest of the Government to hold discussions, Offeror responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs), and Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) will be considered in making the source selection decision.

1.2.5 Electronic Reference Documents

Documents for this solicitation are available on SAM.gov website under Contract Opportunities at https://beta.sam.gov/ or https://fbohome.sam.gov/. Offerors should subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website related to this solicitation.

1.2.6 Communications

The CO will control all exchanges between the Government and Offerors. Exchanges with industry may be written and transmitted via encrypted e-mail, facsimile and/or U.S. Postal delivery.

Correspondence and submittals from Offerors will be addressed to the CO. Oral communication via telephonic or face-to-face meetings may also occur and will be arranged by the CO.

1.2.7 Adequate Price Competition

The CO has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition.

Upon examination of the initial offers, the CO will review this determination and if, in the CO's opinion, adequate price competition exists, certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required.

https://beta.sam.gov/ https://fbohome.sam.gov/

SECTION L FA2823-20-R-0029 Page L - 5

However, if at any time during this competition the CO determines that adequate price competition does not exist, Offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the CO to determine the reasonableness of the Cost/Price. Additionally, although adequate price competition is expected, if only one offer is received in response to this solicitation the responding offeror will be required to provide certified cost or pricing data in accordance with Table 15-2, at FAR 15.408 and DFARs Clause 252.215-7009.

1.2.8 Debriefings

The CO will notify the Offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range;

whereupon, they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. Offerors excluded from the competitive range may request a pre-award debriefing. Offerors excluded from the competitive range are entitled to no more than one debriefing. The CO will notify unsuccessful Offerors in the competitive range of the source selection decision in accordance with FAR 15.506.

Upon such notification, unsuccessful Offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make their request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.

Foldout pages shall fold entirely within the volume, contain data on one side, and count as a single page. Foldout pages may only be used for large tables, charts, graphs, diagrams and schematics;

they shall not for pages of text. For tables, charts, graphs and figures, the text shall be no smaller than eight (8) point.

1.3.3 Cross-Referencing

Offerors shall write each volume on a stand-alone basis, meaning the Government must be able to evaluate each volume without having to cross reference to other volumes of the proposal. Information required for proposal evaluation which is not found in its designated volume will be assumed to have been omitted from the proposal. Cross referencing within a proposal volume is permitted where its use would conserve space without impairing clarity. The Offeror shall provide a solicitation cross reference matrix indicating, by Statement of Work (SOW) paragraph number, the corresponding proposal paragraph in that section that addresses the referenced item.

1.3.4 Indexing

Each volume shall contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections.

The Offeror shall designate one copy of each numbered volume as the official version. The Offeror shall mark the binder of each official version, and the coversheet within the binder, with the word “Official.” The Offeror shall also sign the model contract within the official version of Volume IV. The signed model contract becomes the official contract copy if the Offeror receives the contract award. Pages in each volume must be numbered sequentially and consecutively. The cover page, table of contents, lists(s) of tables and drawings, blank pages, and cross-reference matrix are excluded from the page count.

1.3.7 Electronic Copies

The Offeror shall submit one electronic copy of the proposal. The electronic copies shall reside on separate CDs (one CD per proposal copy). Each Volume and any Volume attachments within a CD shall be their own file. Offerors shall indicate on each CD file the volume number and title contained in the file. The contents and page size of the electronic Volumes must be identical to those of the paper copies. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression program must be included. The electronic copies of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Office Word 97-2003 or 2010, MS Office Excel 97-2003 or 2010, MS Office Project 97-2003 or 2010, and MS Office Power Point 97-2003 or 2010, as applicable.

2.0 VOLUME I – PRICE PROPOSAL - Submit two (2) paper and one (1) electronic copy.

2.1 General Instructions:

2.1.1 The Offeror’s Cost/Price proposal shall fully and clearly demonstrate reasonableness, balanced pricing as well as document the Total Evaluated Price (TEP). The Total Evaluated Price will be the sum total of all Firm-Fixed Priced CLINs and options (if applicable).

2.1.2 Reasonableness

This section is to assist you in submitting other than certified cost or pricing data that are required to evaluate the reasonableness of your proposed cost/price. Compliance with these requirements are mandatory and failure to comply may result in rejection of your proposal. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed costs/prices rests with the Offeror.

2.1.3 Materially Unbalanced Pricing

Materially unbalanced pricing poses an unacceptable risk to the Government and may be a reason to reject an Offeror’s proposal. Materially unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable TEP, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly overstated or understated as indicated by the application of cost or price analysis techniques. Offeror should explain significant fluctuations between offered rates/hours in the same labor categories over various years.

SECTION L FA2823-20-R-0029 Page L - 8

2.1.4 Cost/Price Information

Data beyond that required by this instruction shall not be submitted, unless the Offeror considers it essential to document or support their cost/price position. All data relating to the proposed price, including all required supporting documentation, must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price volume. Additionally, although adequate price competition is expected, if only one offer is received in response to this solicitation the responding offeror will be required to provide certified cost or pricing data in accordance with Table 15-2, at FAR 15.408 and DFARs Clause 252.215-7009.

2.1.5 Rounding

Offerors shall input the major work elements by specification division and provide pricing for those major work elements within each division sheet. The information from the division sheets may not be all inclusive. Offerors are allowed to include any missing items from each division and are allowed to fill in other divisions that are not listed in the prefilled division sheets. Offer will be complete, accurate, and sufficiently detailed to demonstrate a clear understanding of the requirement including providng sufficiently details in the division cost worksheet to quantities for material, labor and other services. Offerors shall not utilize Lump Sum or Total Pricing when pricing each specification division. Failure to breakout major work elements within a specification division may result in an unfavorable evaluation. The burden of proof for credibility of proposed pricing rests with the offeror.

2.2.2 Submission of Bid Guarantee: An electronic copy of the bid guarantee shall be submitted with the electronic proposal. Offerors shall submit a hard copy of the bid guarantee via mail or hand delivery. Offerors shall deliver or mail the bid guarantee no later than 3-business days after the date established for receipt of proposals. Mail or deliver to the address listed in Block 7 of the SF1442.

Recent past performance is defined as ongoing contracts with a performance history, and contracts completed within three (3) years from the issue date of this solicitation.

Relevant Contract is a contract that meets the definitions for one of the Relevancy Factors as set forth in Section M, Table M2

If past performance information is submitted under an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ), the service provider must identify the delivery/task order relevant to this effort. Use one Past Performance Information Sheet for each delivery/task order cited. Do no submit a Past Performance Information Sheet for the entire IDIQ effort. Offerors are cautioned that the Government will use data provided by each Offeror in this volume and data obtained from other sources in the evaluation of past and present performance.

3.2 Teaming Arrangements/Joint Ventures

If the Offeror intends to submit past performance information of a teaming arrangement member or a joint venture partner, then the Offeror shall provide sufficient information to clearly convey the roles and responsibilities that each member or partner performed. Past Performance information of team members or joint venture partners shall be consistent with the proposed roles and responsibilities that each member or partner will perform for this requirement. Identify each member's share of the prospective contract, 50/50, 51/49, etc. Clearly establish roles of each party (who is prime and who is subcontractor, who is responsible for what tasks, contract administration, proposals, work management, etc.). Provide for protection of competition-sensitive proprietary information (subcontractor past performance cannot be disclosed to the prime offeror without the subcontractor's consent). Provide a letter from all subcontractors (Attachment L5) that will perform major or critical aspects of the requirement, consenting to the release of their past performance information to the prime contractor, only if it is being used as part of the past performance evaluation. Include a Statement of Assurance that the team member will not be replaced for the duration of the contract, and any exceptions should be identified. Also include a Statement of Assurance that the team members are not teaming with another firm for this requirement. Include a Statement of acknowledgement that the Prime Contractor is responsible for adhering to contract terms and conditions and daily management. The Prime Contractor is obligated to negotiate in good faith and is responsible for conveying mandatory government terms and conditions to subcontractors. The prime contractor shall remain fully responsible for contract performance, regardless of any teaming agreement between the prime contractor and its subcontractors.

3.3 Organizational Structure Change History

Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these

SECTION L FA2823-20-R-0029 Page L - 10 changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant past efforts or between conclusion of two recent past efforts and this source selection. To facilitate the Government’s relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. A pamphlet or other commercial document describing such reorganizations may suffice. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), your "roadmap" shall be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

3.4 Questionnaires:

The submissions to the following sub-paragraphs do NOT count towards the page limit for the Offeror’s Past Performance Volume.

3.4.1 Questionnaire Submissions

For each Attachment L4 submission, the Government requires the Offeror to send out the Past Performance Customer Questionnaire, (Attachments L6) to each of the Government Points of Contact.

DUE AND ONE (1) COPY WILL BE SUBMITTED WITH YOUR PROPOSAL.

Additional information may be obtained by the Past Performance Team by direct contact through the Contracting Officer.

While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from other sources, the burden of providing adequate, factual data to determine performance confidence rests with the Offeror. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.

Proposals that do not contain the required information are subject to rejection by the Government.

The offeror shall provide a summary of all prime Offeror and subservice provider/team member performance history submissions, in columnar format, with the following information: Service Provider Name, Contract Number, Performance Period, CO Name/Phone Number, Contracting Officer Representative Name/Phone Number.
