Unless otherwise specified the sections below apply to both the AFSI MATOC solicitation and the ATG-R solicitation.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Offeror is required to submit sufficient information concerning the following areas to enable Government personnel to fully ascertain the 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. 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 is emphasized during proposal preparation. The Offeror is responsible for presenting enough information to allow the Government to evaluate the proposed work effort, support, approach, and the 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.

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 un-awardable unless the solicitation expressly authorizes such an exception or deviation regarding the 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.

• Describes methods, procedures, and personnel for system administration needed to develop the AFHE

Production Baseline

• Describes methods, procedures, and personnel for back-end development of the AFHE Production

Baseline

Factor 2: Past Performance for the AFSI MATOC

The Government will use information from several Government systems and Past Performance Questionnaire as part of the Past Performance Evaluation. The Government will review and assign a Past Performance rating.

There are three aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy (including context of data), and quality (including general trends in contractor performance and source of information). All three aspects must be considered for each of the contracts or requirements evaluated.

Recency

The first aspect is to evaluate the recency of the offeror’s past performance. Recency is generally expressed as a time period during which past performance references are considered relevant and is critical to establishing the relevancy of past performance information. The criteria to establish what prior performance is recent shall be unique to each source selection and shall be stated in the solicitation. The recency timeframe established should be based on the acquisition and the market/industry. For example, some efforts would require longer recency periods to avoid restricting competition simply due to the lack of item production.

Relevance

The second aspect is to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. The criteria to establish what prior performance is relevant shall be unique to each source selection and shall be stated in the solicitation. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to those aspects of an offeror’s history of contract (or subcontract) performance that would provide the most context and give the greatest ability to measure whether the offeror will successfully

AFSI Solicitation SP4706-23-R-0005, Basic Contract (AFSI MATOC) ATG-R Solicitation SP4706-24-R-0003, (Task Order) satisfy the current requirement. Common aspects of relevancy include but are not limited to: similarity of product/service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, use of key personnel (for services), and extent of subcontracting/teaming.

Quality of Performance (Products or Services)

The third aspect is to establish that the quality of the Offeror’s past performance meets an acceptable level. The past performance evaluation is to determine how well the Offeror performed on prior contracts by such indicators as the organization’s history of successful completion of projects; history of producing high-quality reports and deliverables; commitment to customer satisfaction; and history of staying on schedule and within budget.

Evaluation of this aspect will be based on information provided in Past Performance Questionnaires and the Offeror’s proposal and may include the Government’s independent verification with Offeror’s prior customers or through past performance databases, see below. If the Government’s information conflicts with assertions made in the Offeror’s proposal, the Offeror will be asked to clarify this information.

Past Performance Questionnaire:

A Past Performance Questionnaire is provided as Attachment 3 in the solicitation. Offerors shall send copies to previous customers based on list of contracts submitted for the Past Performance Assessment in order to document past performance. The questionnaire shall be completed by the Offeror’s customers and emailed directly by those customers to both of the following Contracting personnel: Julie Miller (julie.miller@dla.mil);

Trevor Webb (trevor.webb@dla.mil).

Note: If the Offeror does not have any past performance, the Offeror shall provide an affirmative statement stating no past performance.

The Offeror shall list at least 3 and up to 5 contracts/task orders in progress or completed within the past five (5) years for work similar in size, scope, and complexity, specifically list work similar to the requirements outlined in the PWS; provided to either Government agencies or the private sector. The Offeror shall include the name, address, point of contact, current telephone number, e-mail address, dollar value, period of performance and a brief description of work. The Offeror shall discuss the similarities and differences between the proposed effort and contract being referenced. The proposal shall, at a minimum, include a narrative that describes the following for each contract cited:

• Scale of prior work performed, and complexity of work are relevant to the requirements of the PWS.

• Specify contracts for Government or private sector.

• Describe any significant problems or issues that occurred during performance of the contract and how issues were resolved.

The Offeror shall ensure that information presented for contact points is accurate and current (i.e., current phone numbers, titles, etc.). The Government may or may not attempt to track down reference data in cases where inaccurate data is presented. Any past performance information presented by the Offeror that cannot be verified will not be evaluated.

3.2.4.1 Other Past Performance Assessments

In addition to the Offeror’s response to Factor 2, the Government will consider all past performance information within its purview and available from Government or public sources.

mailto:julie.miller@dla.mil mailto:trevor.webb@dla.mil

AFSI Solicitation SP4706-23-R-0005, Basic Contract (AFSI MATOC) ATG-R Solicitation SP4706-24-R-0003, (Task Order)

Past performance information obtained from any other sources available to the Government, to include, but not limited to, Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), Federal Awardee Performance and Integrity Information System (FAPIIS), Electronic Subcontract Reporting System (eSRS), or other databases; the Defense Contract Management Agency; and interviews with Program Managers, Contracting Officers, and Fee Determining Officials.

3.2.4.2 Neutral Rating

Offerors that have no record of past performance (i.e., new businesses) must submit a signed and dated statement to that effect. If an Offeror submits a certification statement and the Government has no information available regarding the Offeror’s past performance from Government or public sources, that Offeror will receive a neutral rating (i.e., the Offeror is evaluated neither favorably nor unfavorably) for past performance. Furthermore, if an Offeror provides contract reference information that is not relevant and current as defined in the Instructions to Offerors and there is no information available regarding the Offeror’s past performance from Government or public sources that is sufficient for the Government to rate the Offeror, the Offeror will receive a neutral past performance rating for those contracts. If the offeror fails to provide either contract references per the Instructions to Offerors or a certification of no past performance, the proposal will be non-responsive and no longer considered for award
