Solicitation SP4703-17-R-CB01 Electronic Point of Sale (EPoS) and Supporting Services E-2. Instructions, Conditions, Notices to Offerors general information

Offerors may submit an offer on one, two, or all three of the following groups: Group 1: Active Directory Services; Group 2: Fixed Facility Devices; Group 3: Mobile Devices. Offers must address all performance requirements and evaluation factors/subfactors of each group for which submitted. When quoting two or three groups, submission of an offer cannot be contingent upon receiving award of more than one group. Refer to paragraph 2.6.3 for further details on Group / Volume Structure submission.

The Offeror is required to submit sufficient information concerning the following areas to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain capabilities of the Offeror to perform the requirements. The proposal must be sufficient in detail and scope to permit evaluation and provide the evaluators a clear understanding of the Offeror’s capability to meet or exceed the defined elements as required by the solicitation. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks, the Offeror is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements, and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements and potential risk areas. The Offeror must respond to all requirements of the solicitation and not alter or rearrange the solicitation. The Offeror has the burden of proof to demonstrate compliance with all the evaluation factors and or subfactors identified in this solicitation. The Offeror is advised that the Government may incorporate into the final contract any portions of the Offeror’s proposal deemed beneficial to the Government. With the exception of the Volume III Price, no cost or pricing information should appear in any volume. Alternate proposals are not acceptable.

In presenting material in the proposal, the Offeror is advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Clarity, brevity, and logical organization should be emphasized during proposal preparation. The Offeror is responsible to present enough information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposed work effort, support, and approach, as well as the cost/price proposal without opening discussions. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, or can and/or will comply with, the specifications, and paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof without supporting information are considered inadequate by the Government, and may result in a rating of unacceptable.

The Offeror must include any data that illustrates the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. Failure to address a specific factor or subfactor clearly may be considered a deficiency. There is no need to repeat information in more than one volume if an overlap exists; the detailed information must be included in the most logical place and summarized and referenced in other areas. Unnecessarily elaborate brochures or other presentation materials beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal is neither necessary nor desired.

The Offeror is expected to comply with all requirements of the solicitation. The Government advises the Offeror that taking exception or deviating from any term or condition of the solicitation may make an offer unacceptable, and the proposal unawardable, unless the solicitation expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation with regard to that specific term or condition. The Government may consider any exception or deviation to any term or condition of the solicitation that is not expressly authorized by the solicitation to be a deficiency.

All Offerors, regardless of business size, are required to submit Small Business Participation Information in accordance with DFARS 215.304 that shall include the following:

(a) Offeror’s Type of Business: Check applicable box (boxes)

Percentage of Subcontracts Planned For each business category:

Total (OTS + SB)

100%

This table will be evaluated to ensure the Offeror, inclusive of self-performance, meets the minimum of 25% of the total contract value to small business including subcategory goals established for the following socioeconomic targets: 3.0% for Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), 5.0% for Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), 5.0% for Women Owned Small Business (WOSB), and 3.0% for Historically Underutilized Business (HUB Zone).

NOTE 1: This information shall be provided for each year of the contract. If the Offeror believes the percentages will change in the subsequent years following year 1, those percentages should be included with rationale for change.

NOTE 2: Percentage goals shall be challenging yet realistic. These goals are percentages of the total proposed contract value.

*Small business Offerors may meet percentage requirements using work performed themselves.

The Offeror is required to furnish a proposed monthly payment schedule and requested to summarize total amounts.
