D.4.3 Volume III FACTOR 3: PRICE__________________________________

D.4.3.1 The Offeror shall submit a completed CLIN List/Labor Breakout (Attachment 0007), to include Tabs 1-4, with formulas intact and

Section B of the SF1449.

Offerors shall propose firm fixed price, fully loaded labor rates for each proposed IDIQ labor category/ordering period on Tab 2 IDIQ

Labor Breakout. CLIN pricing shall be inclusive of all labor, labor burden, G&A, cost and profit.

Offerors shall use the Labor Subtotals for each ordering period on Tab 2 to formulate a unit price and total price for CLNS 0001, 1001

& 2001 on TAB 1 CLIN LIST. The proposed prices on Tabs 1 and 2 shall be used for evaluation purposes for the Price Factor. _________________________________________________________________________________________________

Offerors shall use the proposed IDIQ labor rates on Tab 2, to complete the 2017 SSMP Task Order price proposal on Tabs 3 and 4.

PLEASE NOTE: A separate price evaluation for the SSMP Task Order will not be performed, since evaluation of labor rates will occur for the basic IDIQ contract. However, the labor mix and hours proposed will be analyzed under Technical Area of Consideration - 2017 _________ _____ ________________________________________

SSMP to ensure that it is realistic for the work to be performed._____

The Offeror shall use the proposed prices on Tab 1 IDIQ - CLIN LIST to populate the total prices for all IDIQ Contract Line Item

Numbers (CLINs) in Section B of the SF1449. For Other Direct Cost (ODC) CLINS, the Offeror shall submit the Not to Exceed Plug-in numbers for each ordering period, as provided by the Government. The ODC CLINS are Not to Exceed lump sum amounts, provided as required, to perform tasks as described in the PWS. Submission of data in accordance with the Contract Data Requirements List (CDRL), DD Form 1423, is a requirement for the contract but shall be Not Separately Priced (NSP). If an Offeror fails to propose prices for all quantities and ordering periods, the Government may reject the offer.

The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total of all CLIN prices, including the ODC CLINS and all optional ordering periods. As part of the price evaluation, the Government will also evaluate the Option to Extend Services under FAR Clause

52.217-8 by adding one-half of the offerors final option price to the offerors total price. Thus, the offerors total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base ordering period, first optional ordering period, the second optional ordering period and one-half of the second option. Offerors are required only to price the base and two optional ordering periods. Offerors shall not submit a price for the potential one-half year extension of services period.

D.4.4 Volume IV FACTOR 4: SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION________________________________________________________

D.4.4.1 The Small Business Participation Factor Volume is comprised of a single chapter. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient detail to permit a complete evaluation. Any information provided as part of the Small Business Participation Factor Volume may be used to correlate the evaluation of the other proposal volumes.

D.4.4.2 This provision applies to every Offeror (U.S. and non-U.S.), regardless of size status or locations of working facilities or headquarters. For proposal preparation purposes, the Offeror's Small Business Participation proposals shall be consistent with any subcontracting references/identification contained elsewhere in any other Factor Volume. Percentages are calculated using proposed total contract price as the denominator and include first-tier subcontractors only. For the purpose of evaluating Small Business Participation, the total contract price is determined adding all prices proposed in Section B of the SF1449 for all ordering periods. Offerors shall also explain their rationale as to why the percentage of SB participation being utilized for this effort is appropriate for their company. Offerors shall describe their approach and efforts undertaken to utilize small businesses

(SB). SB targets will be incorporated into any resulting prime contract and contractors will be required to report SB participation.

D.4.4.3 All Offerors, including Offerors who are themselves U.S. small business concerns based on the NAICS code assigned to this requirement, are to identify the extent to which U.S. small business concerns will be utilized as first-tier subcontractors in the performance of this proposed contract. U.S. small business concerns are defined (1) in FAR 19.001 and (2) by the criteria and size standards in FAR 19.102 for the applicable NAICS code. U.S. small business concerns include Small Businesses (SBs), Small

Disadvantaged Businesses (SDBs), Woman-Owned Small Businesses (WOSBs), HUBZone Small Businesses (HUBZone SBs), Veteran-Owned Small

Businesses (VOSBs), and Service Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Businesses (SDVOSBs).

D.4.4.4 If the Offeror (to include any U.S. small business concerns who are proposing as part of a joint venture or teaming arrangement) is itself a U.S. small business concern, the Offeror's own participation as a SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, or SDVOSB will also be considered small business participation for the purpose of this evaluation. In this event, the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. small business concern shall be detailed in the same manner as subcontracts to first-tier U.S. small business concerns.

D.4.4.5 Small Business Amounts: All Offerors shall address anticipated U.S. small business concern participation and subcontracting based on the total contract dollars proposed by the Offeror.

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

D.4.4.6 The Offeror shall provide information for small business participation and subcontracting in a table format in accordance with the following example:

Small Business Participation Table (in Millions)

Business Category_________________ $ Cost All Contracts % of SB Participation ____________________ _____________________ Cost Total SubK_______________

Contract Total Price: $43.00

SB $10.34 24.00% $10.34 of $43.00

SDB $ 2.86 6.65% $2.86 of $43.00

SDB $ 2.36 5.50% $2.36 of $43.00

HBCU/MI $ 0.50 1.15% $0.50 of $43.00

WOSB $ 1.55 3.60% $1.55 of $43.00

HUBZone SB $ 1.08 2.50% $1.08 of $43.00

VOSB $ 1.55 3.60% $1.55 of $43.00

SDVOSB $ 1.46 3.40% $1.46 of $43.00

D.4.4.6.1 Guidance for filling in the above "Small Business Participation" Table (Attachment 0010):

(a) Include first-tier subcontractors only. Note that members of a joint venture may be considered the Offeror or the first tier subcontractors, depending on the legal form of the joint venture as defined in its agreement document.

(b) If the Offeror is a U.S. small business concern, detail the extent of the Offeror participation as a U.S. small business concern in the same manner as subcontracts to first tier U.S. small business concerns.

(c) Percentages should be rounded to the nearest tenth of a percent.

D.4.4.6.2 Additional Guidance for particular Business Categories:

(a) For "Contract Total Price": Include the Offeror's proposed Total

Contract Price on this line.

(b) For SB: Include U.S. small business concerns from all categories (i.e. SB, SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB, SDVOSB and HBCU/MI) in the dollars and percentage on this line. The SDB, WOSB, HUBZone SB, VOSB and SDVOSB are subcategories of SB and the dollars in each of these may not add to match the total dollars in the SB line due to the following: In some cases the same dollars may be reported in more than one block (i.e., a $10,000 subcontract to a Woman-Owned Small Business that is also a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small

Business should be entered on four rows: $10,000 under SB, $10,000 under WOSB, $10,000 under VOSB and $10,000 under SDVOSB). Be sure that the dollars are counted in the SB line only once and not four times (e.g. $40,000 representing the same firm participating at

$10,000 in differing categories). Note that the SB percentage is not simply a total of the percentages of each SB subcategory and must be calculated separately as shown in the chart.

(c) For HUBZone SB: Include only "Small Business Administration (SBA) certified" HubZone SBs. Note that this is different from some of the state HUB certifications.

(d) The term small disadvantaged business, when used in accordance with FAR 52.219-9, includes Historically Black Colleges and

Universities (HBCU) and Minority Institutions (MI), in addition to small disadvantaged business concerns. The percentages for HBCU and
