STATEMENT OF WORK

STATEMENT OF WORK

Reconnaissance Training Company, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry (West) Military Freefall (MFF) Progression and Sustainment Training Support

1. Background United States Marine Corps (USMC) Reconnaissance Training Company, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry (West) to maintain a High-Altitude High-Opening (HAHO) and High-Altitude Low-Opening (HALO) capability to enable elements of the organization to clandestinely insert into areas of operation where enemy employ advanced anti-access area denial technologies. These elements frequently require augmentation from other units to bring additional skill sets and collections capabilities or to bring additional equipment to increase the sustainment of long duration missions. These insert methods enhance the unit’s force protection as it conducts ground reconnaissance during Phase-0 to Phase-4 of Joint Operations decreasing risk to force and risk to mission.

The currently reduced availability of military aircraft to support military freefall (MFF) training has caused a subsequent reduction in capability for Reconnaissance Training Company, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry (West). Contracted air support is required to supplement military aircraft to attain the volume of jumps needed in the company for sustainment. Also, historically, Marines and Sailors have not had the opportunity to maintain military freefall jumper and jumpmaster currency while serving with Reconnaissance Training Company. This greatly increases risk of injury and incident for Commanders as these Marines and Sailors return to the Fleet Marine Force (FMF) or Marine Special Operations Command (MARSOC) billets. Additionally, the service, including all FMF and MARSOC units, recently fielded a new parachute system, the PS-2, which requires a transition program. The most effective method for maintaining currency is through the use of contracted support at an established drop zone familiar with MFF operations. This method will provide training and PS-2 transition opportunities to maintain proficiency which will buy down risk as Marines and Sailors transition back to FMF and MARSOC billets.

2. Objectives To enable training for Reconnaissance Training Company, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry (West)to build upon MFF Capabilities.

3. Scope Reconnaissance Training Company, Advanced Infantry Training Battalion, School of Infantry (West) is in need of a contract to support MFF Progression and Sustainment Training in accordance with training directives in Marine Corps Order (MCO) 3120.11A. The period of instruction will build upon current resident MFF capabilities to support future Fleet Marine Force assignments and contingency operations. This is to be accomplished through a combination of contracted facilities, aircraft support via lift tickets, company-provided training, and contracted drop zone use in a geographic location that can support all parachute requirements listed in the performance work statement. The training will be completed over the course of the contract, divided into five segments as needed, spanning from August 2022 to July 2027.

Air Mobility Command aircraft (DoD approved Intrastate Commercial Carriers per DoDI 4500.53 – http://www.dtic.mil/whs/directives/corres/pdf/450053p.pdf which is authorized to conduct operations with DoD personnel.

The contractor shall not charge additional lift tickets for the lost space as a result of the larger government parachute systems.

4.3 Drop zone and air field.

4.3.1 The contractor shall provide for the use of their own airfield immediately adjacent to a Zone Availability Reports (ZAR) approved drop zone. The airfield shall also be immediately adjacent to the loading zone and parachute packing area.

4.5.1 The contractor shall provide a secure building or room within a building with external, exclusive access.

4.5.2 The contractor shall provide a shaded area sufficient in size for the simultaneous packing of twelve (12) Multi Mission Parachute System (MMPS). The floor of the packing area shall have rubber matting or other material as is common in parachute packing areas.

ACCEPTABLE Quotation meets the requirements of the solicitation.

UNACCEPTABLE Quotation does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

2. PRICE: All quotes must be the Contractor’s Best Pricing. Price analysis shall be used to verify that the overall price offered is fair and reasonable. The Offeror shall input the unit price and total in all the line items present in the SF1449. The total evaluated price is calculated using the prices proposed for all line items.

3. EVALUATION PROCESS: The evaluation will proceed as follows:

Quotes will be ranked in order from lowest to highest based on the price. The lowest priced quotation will then be evaluated and receive a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable based on the evaluation criteria above. In order to be rated as Acceptable, the Technical quote must meet the Government's minimum requirements as described in the solicitation. Quotes deemed Unacceptable are those that fail to meet the Government's minimum requirements.

If the lowest priced quoter’s Technical quote is rated acceptable, the Government will then evaluate pricing to determine fair and reasonableness. If the lowest priced quotation is evaluated to have an acceptable technical quote and fair and reasonable prices, per FAR 8.405-1(f), the Government will complete a responsibility determination IAW the criteria specified in FAR 9.104-1. If found responsible, the Government may stop the evaluation process at this point as that quote represents the best value to the Government. Award shall be made to that offeror without further consideration of any other offers.

If the lowest priced quotation is assigned an unacceptable rating, or if the price is determined not fair and reasonable or if the quoter is found to be non-responsible, the next lowest priced quote will be evaluated. This process will continue (in ascending order) until a quoter is evaluated to have an acceptable technical rating, fair and reasonable prices and the offeror is deemed responsible. The government reserves the right to evaluate all quotes. The award will be made to the offeror whose quotation represents the best value to the government on a LPTA basis.

The Government reserves the right to award no contract, depending on the quality of the quotes submitted and availability of funds for the requirement. The Government intends to evaluate quotes and award a single contract without requesting or accepting revised quotes. Therefore, the Offerors will be advised that their initial quote should contain the most favorable terms and reflect its best possible performance potential. The Government does reserve the right to clarify aspects of the quotes and hold discussions.
