PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT

PERFORMANCE WORK STATEMENT (PWS)

Title: Medical Acquisition Program Management Training

Requiring Activity: U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command (USAMRDC), Office of the

Principal Assistant for Acquisition (OPAA)

1.0 Background:

The OPAA, the USAMRDC, and the entire U.S. Army Medical Department has been in need of medically-focused

Defense Acquisition University (DAU)-certified course on program management since the establishment of the medical research, development, and acquisition (RDA) process within the USAMRDC known as Decision Gate in

2009. This unique acquisition process integrates the Department of Defense (DOD) acquisition system based on the

DOD Instruction 5000 series with the FDA’s medical product development process and medical industry best practices. As a result, the OPAA as the lead for medical acquisition in the USAMRDC is in need of expertise to guide leadership who lack medical and PM experience through the complicated process by which products move through the development pipeline within the USAMRDC.

Training for acquisition personnel. Significant numbers of Army and DOD staff that are members of Integrated

Product Teams (IPT) are not under the PM acquisition career track, but rather under other career tracks, such as

Science & Technology Manager, Contracting, and Lifecycle Logistics. The IPT members and medical acquisition staff should have an appreciation and understanding of PM in the context of defense acquisition. Also IPT positions are in need of PM training to better appreciate the entire lifecycle acquisition process. A medically focused DAU-certified medical acquisition course has in the past been extremely instrumental in facilitating PM understanding and

IPT functions and the acquisition lifecycle. The USAMRDC has a requirement through the RDA process that all

IPT members have training, which is best achieved through a medically-focused course not offered directly by

DAU. The contractor shall administer the course.

This course should focus on the goals and objectives of DAU’s Level II Certification for PM, which focuses on IPTs by providing an overview of systems acquisition, principles, policies, and processes. The course, however, must be medical centric and focus on medical acquisition and the development of medical products such as drugs, vaccines, and medical devices with consideration for requirements of the FDA.

The Offeror’s plans for monitoring and reporting progress:

3.3. EXPERIENCE: The Offeror shall submit written information which effectively demonstrates the Offeror’s relevant experience (for this purpose, experience refers to what an Offeror has done, not how well it was accomplished) identical to, similar to or related to the tasks performed within the PWS.

3.4. PAST PERFORMANCE REFERENCES: Offeror’s are not required to submit past performance references. The

Government will make a responsibility determination based on reviewing the System for Award Management

Fairness and reasonableness of proposed price(s). Price(s) that are unreasonable, not fully supported/substantiated, or both, may cause the overall technical evaluation to be adjusted in one or more of the non-price evaluation factors.

Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise options.

Offeror’s proposals shall remain valid for a minimum of 90 days from the date of submission.

Technically Acceptable (LPTA) basis.

EVALUATION CRITERIA – LOWEST PRICE TECHNICALLY ACCEPTABLE (LPTA) EVALUATION

FACTORS FOR AWARD

a. Basis for Award: The Offeror’s proposal will be evaluated to ensure the Government receives a technically acceptable award at a fair and reasonable price. The selection for award will be based on the following non-cost/price factors:

(1) Technical Approach,

(2) Management Approach,

(3) Experience, and

(4) Past Performance

Cost/price will be evaluated separately from the above technical factors, for fairness and reasonability.

b. Evaluation for Technical Acceptability: An evaluation for technical acceptability will be made to ensure satisfactory responsiveness to the requirements as set forth in this solicitation. Each non-cost/price factor will be rated “Acceptable” or “Unacceptable” using the following rating standards:

Acceptable: Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. If any of the following non-cost/price evaluation factors receives an individual rating of “Unacceptable,” the entire proposal will be deemed “Unacceptable”.

(1) Technical Approach: Minimum technical requirements for this procurement include:

A written technical approach which effectively demonstrates the Offeror’s clear understanding of all the

PWS tasks and how the approach is likely to yield the required results within the required time frame. Ability to provide a DAU Certified Course (Task 1). Additionally, the Offeror shall demonstrate the methodology and flexibility that will be used in accomplishing any resultant award.

The Offeror’ technical approach and overall ability to provide the required courses in accordance with the

PWS.

(2) Management Approach: Minimum management requirements for this procurement include:

A written approach which shall describe the Offeror’s management approach which leads to the successful accomplishment of the requirement, chain of command practices which contribute in a positive manner to ensure completion of all objectives (particularly emphasizing communications, accounting, crosschecks) on schedule early enough to take necessary corrective actions, flexibility in allocating resources based on Government priorities, and the Offeror’s plans for monitoring and reporting progress..

(3) Experience: Minimum experience requirements for this procurement include:

Offeror’s demonstrated relevant experience similar, related, or identical to the tasks to be performed in the PWS tasks; as well as key personnel who demonstrate experience similar, related, or identical to the tasks as well as the listed job descriptions/key duties contained within the PWS.

(4): Past Performance: The Government will conduct a past performance evaluation of the

Offeror’s past performance as well as that of its subcontractors. The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort is to the current requirement for source selection. Common aspects of relevance include similarity of service/support, complexity, magnitude of effort, dollar value, and contract type. Second, the Government will evaluate the Offeror’s past performance references to determine the quality of work performed and assess the level of expectation that the Offeror can successfully perform the required effort.

c. Price Evaluation: Price will be evaluated separately from the non-price factors, and will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness. The evaluated price will be evaluated for fairness and reasonableness in terms of:

- Consistency with the technical approach, in that the prices are consistent with and reflect the proposed staffing and or level of effort required.

- Sufficient pricing detail to allow the Government to conduct a fair and reasonable determination.

- Fairness and reasonableness of proposed price(s). Price(s) that are unreasonable, not fully supported/substantiated, or both, may cause the overall technical evaluation to be adjusted in one or more of the non-price evaluation factors.

d. Technical Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings:

Rating Description

Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.
