SP4702-20-R-0013 – AMENDMENT 1

Introductory Note: This solicitation amendment updates specific paragraphs from the original solicitation document.

Any section from the solicitation that had an update made is mentioned, followed by the original paragraph number being updated. If a Section, or Paragraph, isn’t shown there is no update to that Section or Paragraph made by this amendment. If an entire section is being updated to replace the original section in its entirety (as is the case with Section B), that is also noted.

Solicitation closing date and time remains unchanged.

Highlights of this solicitation amendment include:

1. Section A, Paragraph 11 is updated to provide instructions on how to complete Section B.

2. Section B is updated and totally replaces the Section B found in solicitation SP4702-20-R-0013.

3. Section L, Paragraph 2(b)(1)(c) is updated to allow active contracts to be referenced (see specific criteria in the referenced Paragraph below), and also includes a relevancy requirement for completed contracts (see specific criteria in the referenced Paragraph below).

4. Section L, Paragraph 2(b)(2) is updated to include a relevancy requirement (see specific criteria in the referenced Paragraph below).

SECTION A – SUPPLIES AND SERVICES AND PRICES OR COSTS

1. YOU MUST FOLLOW THE BELOW INTRUCTIONS TO ENSURE PAYMENT:

When entering invoices into Wide Area Workflow (WAWF), the unit price and quantity information must be flipped.

When flipping CLIN information, reverse the quantity and unit price. Make sure you use the unit of measure “EA” when entering CLIN information into WAWF. Failure to do so will result in a delay in payment of the invoice as the invoice will have to be rejected and resubmitted. If you have any questions regarding this matter, contact your WAWF Representative Sheri Kelley, (614) 692-2574, or Sheri.Kelley@dla.mil .

An example would be as follows:

Item

Unit of Issue:

Unit Cost

Total Quantity (Actual Contract Cost)

Invoiced Amount:

0001 MO $1.00 X,XXX.XX $X,XXX,XX

[NEW LANGUAGE AS OF SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1 –

Note that for invoicing purposes any work performed under an interpreter-specific CLIN (being CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, 1002, 2001, 2002, 3001, 3002, 4001, and 4002) shall be invoiced on an hourly basis. Take, for example, if during the month of August during the base year of the contract the vendor performed 104 hours under CLIN 0001 and 120 hours under CLIN 0002. In this example, the vendor would invoice under CLIN 0001 for 104 multiplied by the Unit Price it proposed for CLIN 0001, and the vendor’s invoiced amount for CLIN 0002 would be 120 by the Unit Price it proposed for CLIN 0002. In this example, “Total Quantity” would be the calculated value (just without a dollar symbol shown); and “Invoiced Amount” would be this same calculated value but with the dollar symbol added.

(c) Instructions for Completing Section B:

1. Section B below completely replaces the Section B found in SP4702-20-R-0013.

2. Section B has been updated to include three CLIN “series”:

i. CLIN 0001 series (CLINs 0001, 1001, 2001, 3001, and 4001) references the work to be performed by the “Shift Interpreter.”

ii. CLIN 0002 series (CLINs 0002, 1002, 2002, 3002, and 4002) references the work to be performed on demand by “pool interpreters.”

iii. CLIN 0003 series (CLINs 0003, 1003, 2003, 3003, and 4003) references the NTE Travel CLINs. The value for this CLIN series is pre-established at $5,000.00 per year (NTE).

3. For the CLIN 0001 series:

i. Quantity has been updated to read “1,248.” IAW PWS Paragraph 4(A)(I)i), this value is a calculated value illustrative of the total number of annual hours the Shift Interpreter is expected to work.

ii. Unit has been updated to read “HR” (hour).

iii. For Unit Price, the vendor shall enter its ‘rolled-up’ (inclusive of all costs plus profit) hourly price for work to be performed by the Shift Interpreter.

4. For the CLIN 0002 series:

i. Quantity has been updated to read “2,685.” IAW PWS Paragraph 5(C), this value is illustrative of the maximum total number of annual hours pool interpreters are expected to work.

1. Please note: It is unknown how many pool interpreter hours will be needed under any given CLIN’s period of performance. The 2,685 hours only represent a maximum ordering value.

ii. Unit has been updated to read “HR” (hour).

iii. For Unit Price, the vendor shall enter its ‘rolled-up’ (inclusive of all costs plus profit) hourly price for work to be performed by pool interpreters.

iv. For extended price (“EXT PRICE”), multiply the Quantity by the Unit Price to determine the CLIN’s annual price.

5. CLIN 0003 series requires no response.

SECTION L – INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS OR RESPONDENTS.

2. DOCUMENTS TO SUBMIT

The documents to be included with the proposal submitted by the offeror shall include:

b. DOCUMENTATION OF TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY.

Proposals received in response to this solicitation will be evaluated in accordance with procedures outlined in Federal Acquisition Regulations (FAR) Part 15.101-2 for the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) Offer.

The evaluation factors for this solicitation are Technical Qualifications, Past Performance, and Price.

1) FACTOR 1: Technical Qualifications In order to be technically acceptable, Contractors shall propose personnel/staffing that demonstrates that it will meet all requirements of the PWS. This shall be demonstrated by ensuring the requirements as described in Subfactor 1, Subfactor 2, and Subfactor 3 below are clearly met.

c. SUBFACTOR 3 – PRIOR EXPERIENCE: The vendor shall provide information demonstrating that it has a record of prior experience with requirements similar to this solicitation’s size, complexity, and scope.

[NEW LANGUAGE AS OF SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1 – In order to evaluate the vendor’s prior experience, the vendor’s proposal shall identify no less than THREE (3), and no more than FIVE (5), previously awarded contracts of similar scope, size, and complexity to the current requirement. In order to fulfill this requirement, a vendor may submit either completed contracts (as defined below), active contracts (as defined below), or any combination of completed and active contracts.

- When Referencing A Completed Contract: If a vendor references a completed contract, the contract shall have been completed within 5 years of this solicitation’s (SP4702-20-R-0013) proposal submittal date (May 6th, 2020) in order to be deemed relevant.

- When Referencing An Active Contract: If a vendor references a contract which has been awarded but has not yet been completed, the vendor must have performed on that contract for a minimum of 6 months from this solicitation’s (SP4702-20-R-0013) proposal submittal date (May 6th, 2020).

Active contracts submitted as examples to fulfill this requirement that do not have a minimum of 6 months of performance as of this proposal submittal date will be deemed as not relevant. – END

NEW LANGUAGE FOR SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1].

For each of the submitted prior experience examples, the following information is required:

• The name of the project and the contract ID number,

• The name of the contracting agency or organization the contract was awarded by,

• The date of the contract award and the contract award amount in dollars,

• The date of the contract completion [NEW LANGUAGE AS OF SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1 - (if applicable) - END

NEW LANGUAGE FOR SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1],

• A brief description of the scope of work for the sign language interpreting services contract in question, and

• Identification of at least one point-of-contact at the organization that awarded the submitted contract, including:

the name of the point-of-contact; their current mailing address; phone number; and email address (if applicable).

In investigating a vendor’s past performance, the Government shall compare the size, scope, and complexity of the contracts provided by the vendor in its proposal to the size, scope, and complexity of the instant requirement in this solicitation. For this Subfactor, relevant experience is being measured rather than quality of past performance. Evaluation of this Subfactor will necessarily be subjective, but will focus on elements such as:

SP4702-20-R-0013 Amendment 1 Page 7 of 8

i. Contract scope (e.g., sign language interpreting),

ii. Contract size

iii. Contract complexity (e.g, irregular demand involving various communication modes for sign language interpreting services)

NOTE: Failure to provide any of the information for SUBFACTOR 3 mandated above shall result in an Unacceptable rating.

2) FACTOR 2: Past Performance

In order to be technically acceptable, Contractors shall provide information demonstrating that it has a record of successful past performance. The required information supporting the contractor’s past performance as described below must by supplied along with the contractor’s proposal.

The past performance factor will be evaluated to determine the quality of the contractor’s past performance, including the past performance of proposed critical team members or subcontractors on contracts currently ongoing or completed within the last four years, that are either directly related or similar in scope, magnitude, and complexity to that which is detailed in the PWS.

In order to evaluate the contractor’s past performance, the contractor’s proposal shall identify no less than THREE (3), and no more than FIVE (5), previously awarded, and completed contracts of similar scope, size, and complexity to the current requirement. [NEW LANGUAGE AS OF SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1 – These contracts shall have been completed within 5 years of the proposal submittal date (May 6, 2020) for this solicitation (SP4702-20-R-0013). Contracts submitted as examples to fulfill this requirement that were completed more than 5 years before the proposal submittal date will be deemed as not relevant. – END NEW LANGUAGE FOR SOLICITATION AMENDMENT 1]. For each of the submitted past performance examples, the following information is required:

• The name of the project and the contract ID number

• The name of the contracting agency or organization the contract was awarded by

• The date of the contract award and the contract award amount in dollars

• The date of the contract completion

• A brief description of the scope of work for the sign language interpreting services contract in question

• Identification of at least one point-of-contact at the organization that awarded the submitted contract, including: the name of the point-of-contact; their current mailing address; phone number; and email address (if applicable).

In investigating a contractor’s past performance, the Government may consider information in the contractor’s proposal and information obtained from other sources, including but not limited to: Past and present customers and their employees; other government agencies, including state and local agencies; consumer protection organizations and better business bureaus; former subcontractors; and others who may have useful information.

Failure by the contractor to provide evidence of performance on contracts of a similar nature in terms of period of performance and complexities of the services provided will result in the Government evaluating past performance as having no relevant history. In the case where a contractor states in their proposal that they lack adequate relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the Government will evaluate past performance as neutral/unknown confidence in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv). Evaluation of neutral/unknown confidence will not eliminate the contractor from the overall review and evaluation of their proposal for this RFP. NOTE: Failure to respond at all to the Past Performance evaluation factor will result in an Unacceptable rating.
