Alternative items determined not to be acceptable will not count towards the eighty-five (85%) minimum of the PEL items required to be priced. (If the offeror proposes on an item or an alternative item for the base period, it must also propose on the same item or the alternative for all option periods.) The offeror that does not meet the eighty-five (85%) minimum of acceptable quoted PEL items will have its proposal rejected.

L.6.2. The offeror shall fill out Tab 1 of the provided spreadsheet: Attachment 0001 Price Evaluation Spreadsheet. The offeror shall refer to the instructions within the spreadsheet to ensure a complete understanding as to what requirements apply per NIIN.

Pricing shall be for a new/unused product. Prices offered must be unit prices, which are clearly stated and which require no further interpretation by the Government in order to determine the actual offered price. Unit prices offered must include costs of compliance with all solicitation requirements. Prices are to be F.O.B destination and shall include all applicable costs, including commercial packaging.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

L.6.2.1.3. If an item on the PEL is superseded during the contract term, the contractor shall advise the Contracting Officer as soon as practical. If there is not a change to the form, fit, and function, configuration, application, or physical nature and is therefore an exact item of replacement, PEL pricing shall remain applicable. If there is a change such that it is not an exact item replacement, the contractor shall include complete information from the manufacturer concerning the replacement item as it relates to form, fit, and function, configuration, application, or physical nature of the superseded item. If the determination by the Contracting Officer is that the superseded item is not an exact replacement then PEL Pricing will not be applicable.

L.6.2.1.4. If an item on the PEL has been classified as end of life by the manufacturer, then the contractor shall provide supporting documentation to the Contracting Officer. PEL pricing will not be applicable after the last production date.

L.6.2.1.5. The Government is providing the estimated demand represented by the most current data available. The offeror should note these numbers are based on historical data and should account for any business risk associated with these numbers.

L.6.2.1.6. Items on the PEL have been identified by NSN, part number and material descriptions. If any of the following occur, the

Contracting Officer shall be contacted in writing: the part number does not match, equal or represent the item description; the part number has been discontinued; or the part number / product is no longer available.

L.6.2.1.7. The offeror may offer alternates for items on the PEL. (If the offeror proposed an alternative item for the base period, it must also propose on the same item for all option periods.) To be considered for evaluation, the alternate item must be equal to the item on the PEL, have the same form, fit, and function, and be compliant with applicable sourcing restrictions. The offeror shall provide the alternate items manufacturer, part number, and material description. In addition, the offeror shall fill in the unit price.

The offeror shall furnish with its offer legible copies of all drawings, specifications, or other data necessary to clearly describe the characteristics and features of the alternate product being offered, as well as a link to the manufacturers website (if applicable) to locate and identify the item being requested. Data submitted shall cover design, materials, performance, function, interchangeability, inspection, and/or testing criteria, and other characteristics of the offered product. In addition the offeror shall furnish drawings and other data covering the design, material and other information of the exact product cited in the PEL sufficient to enable the

Government to determine whether the offerors product is equal to the product cited in the PEL. The substantiation is to be part of the price proposal copy and must clearly identify the PEL item for which an alternate is being offered. The Contracting Officer will evaluate equal products on the basis of information furnished by the offeror or identified in the offer, and reasonably available to the

Contracting Officer. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for locating or obtaining any information not identified in the offer.

The offeror may only offer one alternate item per line item in the PEL. The offeror must identify the alternate offer in the price proposal spreadsheet in the space provided. All substantiating documentation must be annotated to clearly show the line item of the PEL for which an alternate is being offered. Alternate items determined not to be acceptable will not count towards the eighty-five (85%) minimum of the PEL items required to be priced. It is the Government that determines if the documentation or other evidence furnished by an offeror is adequate to satisfy the requirements in this provision. The Contracting Officer may at any time request evidence of the technical acceptability of the supplies offered in response to this solicitation. The Contracting Officer determines the acceptability and sufficiency of other documentation or other evidence at his or her sole discretion. If the Contracting Officer requests evidence from the offeror and the Contracting Officer subsequently finds the evidence to be unacceptable, or if the offeror fails to provide the requested evidence, the alternate item will not be accepted. As ordering requirements arise for the PEL items, the Government reserves the right to re-evaluate the acceptability of alternatives for any particular customer requirement. Acceptable alternate items will be added to the contractors awarded PEL as firm-fixed-price ceiling prices for the applicable base and all option periods. Failure to adhere to this paragraphs requirements will result in the proposal being considered unacceptable.

L.6.2.1.8. The offeror's ceiling prices should not include FAT. The ceiling prices shall include all other requirements in the solicitation and SOW to include testing and shipping.

L.6.3. Any clarifications or questions regarding an item on the PEL must be addressed to the Contracting Officer in writing during the solicitation period. The questions must be in order by the PEL line item numbering and forwarded to the Contracting Officer in a

Microsoft Word Document format.

L.6.4. Prices offered shall be clearly stated and require no further interpretation by the Government to determine the actual offered price. Prices shall not be stated as part of a pricing formula or as charges per lot. Unit prices offered shall include costs of compliance with all solicitation requirements. Failure to submit proposed prices in accordance with these instructions may result in rejection of the offer.

L.6.5. The offerors pricing on the PEL shall be carried out to a maximum of two decimal places.

L.6.6. The pre-formatted spreadsheet is the only acceptable method of returning the price proposal. Submitted files shall be renamed to include the volume number, the offerors name and the solicitation number, for example Volume 4_XYZ Company_SPRBL119R0042. The offeror shall not change the format in the spreadsheet, as any change to the spreadsheet may adversely impact the evaluation of the price proposal.

L.6.7. The offeror may be required to submit other than certified cost or pricing data in accordance with FAR 15.403-3.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

DLAD PROCT NOTES IMPLEMENTED BY REFERENCE:

DLAD Proc Note M06 Evaluation of Offers for Part Numbered Items (SEP 2016).

PROPOSAL EVALUTION__________________

M.1. Proposals will be evaluated using Best Value Tradeoff source selection procedures, with the Government giving appropriate consideration to the four (4) evaluation factors: Technical, Past Performance, Small Business Participation, and Price. The Government will weigh the relative benefits of each proposal and awards will be made based on an assessment of the results of the evaluation. In making this assessment, the Government shall give due consideration to all of the factors, sub-factors, and sub-sub factors and their relative order of importance. The Government intends to make multiple awards.

All evaluation factors other than price, when combined, are significantly more important than price. The Government will evaluate Small

Business Offerors and Other-than-Small-Business Offerors separately and alike, as defined throughout the evaluation criteria. The

Government reserves the right to make an award to other than the lowest priced offerors, or to other than the offerors with the highest technical rating if the Government determines that do so would result in the best value to the Government. Offerors that receive a final rating of Red/Unacceptable on any factor/sub factor/sub-sub Factor level are ineligible for award.

M.2. TECHNICAL:______________

M.2.1. Management Approach: The offerors management approach will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror has developed a strategy for the effective and efficient management of contract activities needed to successfully fulfill the SOW requirements, and demonstrated that the organization has the current or planned capabilities for assuring performance of the requirements. The offeror shall provide insight into its organizational and administrative structure that ensures efficient and effective procurement of requirement supply.

M.2.1.1. Program Management Plan: The offerors program management plan will be evaluated to determine if the offeror has clearly demonstrated its ability to effectively manage the overall program requirements, including its supply chain network.

M.2.2. Technical Evaluation Approach: The offerors technical approach will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the technical requirements have been considered. The Government shall evaluate how well the proposal meets the Governments requirements of the solicitation identified in the SOW found in Section J (Exhibit A) of the solicitation. As required in the SOW, a Small Business offeror will be evaluated on its ability to provide seventy percent (70%) of the request for quotes/proposals, including those that are set-aside for small business. An Other-than-small-business offeror will be evaluated on its ability to provide proposals on eighty-five percent (85%) of the unrestricted request for proposals.

M.2.2.1. Supply Chain Management: The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offerors methods and processes meet the solicitation requirements in terms of production and supply chain management.

M.2.2.2. Production Management: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if whether the offeror has effective production verification management processes in place, and whether the offerors methods and processes meet the solicitation requirements.

M.2.2.2.1. Product Quality Verification: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the offeror has an effective quality management process.

M.2.2.2.2. FAT Process: The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror has a clear understanding of the FAT requirements, and whether the offeror has the resources required to manage and execute FAT items as applicable.

M.2.2.2.3. Technical Data Package (TDP) Verification: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the offeror can manage TDPs.

M.2.2.2.4. Configuration Management: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the offeror can manage configuration management.

M.2.2.2.5. Obsolescence Reporting: The proposal will be evaluated to determine if the offeror can manage obsolescence reporting.

M.2.3 TECHNICAL RATING:

M.2.3.1. The evaluation will consider the degree to which the offerors proposal meets the requirements, indicates an adequate approach and understanding of those requirements and minimizes the risk of unsuccessful performance. A proposal meets requirements and demonstrates a thorough or exceptional approach and understanding as evidenced by most of the following characteristics, which will generally receive favorable ratings: current processes in place in order to execute to the SOW requirements, an established supply chain and program management approach, and overall strengths.

M.2.3.2. A color and an adjectival rating will be assigned to each factor, sub-factor, and sub-sub factor to depict the degree to which each offerors proposal exceeds, meets, or does not meet the minimum performance or capability requirements of each of the technical factors, sub-factors, and sub-sub factors through an assessment of the strengths, weaknesses, or deficiencies of each proposal. The technical rating evaluates the quality of the offerors technical solution for meeting the Governments requirement. As referenced in the below rating table, the quote metric for Small Business is seventy percent (70%), and the quote metric for Other-than-small business is eighty-five percent (85%):

Color: Blue Rating: Outstanding_____ ______ Description: Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the___________ requirements and contains multiple strengths.

Color: Purple Rating: Good_____ _______ Description: Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements___________ and contains at least one strength.

Color: Green Rating: Acceptable_____ _______ Description: Proposal indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the___________ requirements.

Color: Yellow Rating: Marginal Description: Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the_____ _______ ___________ requirements.

Color: Red Rating: Unacceptable_____ _______ Description: Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus,___________ contains one or more deficiencies and is unawardable.

M.2.3.3. Definitions used in evaluating factors, sub-factors, and sub-sub factors responses to determine the overall factor, sub-factor or sub-sub factor rating as defined in FAR 15.001 and Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy memorandum dated March 31, 2016, DoD

Source Selection Procedures :

Deficiency- A material failure of a proposal to meet a Government requirement or a combination of significant weaknesses in a __________ proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance to an unacceptable level.

Strength- An aspect of the proposal that has merit or exceeds specified performance or capability requirements in a way that will ________ be advantageous to the Government during contract performance.

Significant Weakness- A flaw in the proposal that appreciably increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. ____________________

Weakness A flaw in the proposal that increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance. ________

M.2.3.4. Within the Technical Factor, each sub-factor and sub-sub-factor will be rated separately using the color/adjectival ratings.

Each sub-factor and sub-sub-factor will be assessed for strengths, significant weaknesses, weaknesses, deficiencies, and uncertainties.

Each sub-factor and sub-sub-factor will be assigned a color/adjectival rating based upon these collective findings. The compilation of these sub-factors/sub-sub factor color/adjectival ratings will form the basis of the Factor rating. An offeror that receives a final rating of Red/Unacceptable at any factor/sub-factor/sub-sub factor level is ineligible for award.

M.3. PAST PERFORMANCE_____________________

M.3.1. The past performance evaluation will assess the offerors probability of meeting the solicitation requirements. The past performance evaluation considers each offeror's demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contracts requirements. In the case of a joint venture, the Government intends to evaluate each joint member's past performance for work done individually, as well as any work done by the joint venture itself. The Government will not evaluate the past performance of any proposed subcontractor.

M.3.2. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate the offerors past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection. The second aspect of the past performance evaluation is the performance confidence assessment. The performance confidence assessment rating is based on the offerors overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. The past performance evaluation performed in support of a current source selection does not establish, create, or change the existing record and history of the offerors past performance on past contracts; rather, the past performance evaluation process gathers information from customers on how well the offeror performed those past contracts.

M.3.2.1. Past Performance Relevency

Relevancy will be defined as how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the solicited requirement. Relevancy includes contracts/orders of similar products. The Contracting Officer will assess whether prior efforts are relevant based on whether prior awards were, for example, in the federal supply class (FSC) (i.e., similar items), and of similar complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontracting. The Contracting Officer will consider efforts completed within the three (3) previous years from solicitation release date.

M.3.2.1.1. The offeror should provide a list, as instructed in section L of this solicitation, of up to three (3) recently completed contracts/orders, either for commercial or government customers, performed within the past three (3) years.

M.3.2.1.2. The Government reserves the right to limit the number of references it decides to contact.

M.3.2.1.3. Small businesses and Other-than-small-businesses will be rated the same. Contracts/orders identified by the offeror as recent/relevant will receive one of the following ratings for Past Performance Relevancy:

Very Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires. Past Performance includes long-term-contracts of five years or more, with a ceiling of at least $25M.

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved similar scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires.

Past Performance includes long-term-contracts of at least three years or more, with a ceiling of at least $10M.

Somewhat Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires. Past Performance includes contracts of one (1) year or more, with a ceiling of $1M or more

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities as this solicitation requires. Past Performance may not include contract actions with more than one (1) year, the dollar value is below $1M.

Neutral: The offeror has no relevant record of past performance. Offeror will not be rated favorably or unfavorably for the particular contract submitted.

M.3.2.2. Small Businesses and Other-than-small-businesses will be rated the same. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

M.3.2.3 Performance confidence will be defined as how well the offeror performed on past contracts. Product quality, delivery, and customer satisfaction will be considered in evaluating quality of performance. The performance confidence assessment rating is based on the offerors overall record of recency, relevancy, and quality of performance. Proposals will receive one of the following ratings for

Past Performance Confidence Assessment:

Substantial Confidence: Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence: Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence: Based on the offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral): No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offerors performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. Therefore, the offeror will not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance.

M.4. SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION__________________________________

M.4.1 The Government will evaluate the SBPCD document to ensure that the offeror provides the minimum requirements of small business participation. A Small Business offerors may meet the requirement using work performed itself.

M.4.1.1. The offeror shall provide a SBPCD that maintains a minimum of forty percent (40%) of the total contract value for each IDIQ year to small business. The Government will evaluate the document to ensure that the offeror provides the minimum requirements of small business participation.

M.4.1.2. Other-than-small-business offerors shall provide a Small Business Subcontracting Plan that contains all the elements required by FAR 52.219-9. This plan shall be incorporated into any resultant contract in reference to the RFP.

M.4.1.2.1. The following are non-mandatory goals for socio-economic contracting programs:

M.4.1.2.1.1. Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) five percent (5%) of total contract dollars

M.4.1.2.1.2. Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) three percent (3%) of total control dollars

M.4.1.2.1.3. Historically Underutilized Business Zone (HUBZone) - three percent (3%) of total control dollars

M.4.1.2.1.4. Veteran Owned Small Business two percent (2%) of total control dollars

M.4.1.3. The Government will evaluate: the extent to which such firms, as defined in FAR Part 19, are specifically identified in the proposals; the extent of commitment to use such firms (existing and enforceable commitments will be considered more favorably than business relationships that are simply planned or theoretical); the identification of the complexity and variety of the work specific small firms are to perform, and the offerors commitment to maintain the required forty percent (40%) of total contract…
