The following have been added by full text:
REQUEST FOR INFORMATION 1-11
Q1. Please confirm the proposal deadline is 07Jul20 at 1700 hours Eastern time.
A1. See Block 8 of the Standard Form 1449 for Solicitation Number W50S8E20R0002.
Q2. The revised Solicitation (p. 3) states both, “Each volume shall be submitted electronically via DOD SAFE” and “All of the proposal files shall be compressed (zipped) into one file entitled proposal zip using WinZip version 6.2 or later … and provided on CDs or DVDs.” Please clarify the method(s) required for proposal submission.
A2. Instructions for submitting for proposal have been modified and is part of this amendment.
Q3. Are offerors required to submit resumes of proposed personnel with proposals?
A3. The solicitation does not call out for resumes of proposed personnel.
Q4. If offerors submit qualified candidate resumes with proposals, will those resumes be considered during the evaluation?
A4. The solicitation does not call out for resumes of proposed personnel.
Q5. The Solicitation states (p. 3) that offerors should submit “2 digital copies” of all proposal files. Please clarify this instruction: does this mean we are to submit two CDs? Two DVDs? One of each? Or none, but rather submit via SAFE?
A5. Instructions for submitting for proposal have been modified and is part of this amendment.
Q6. Historically, how many FTEs have been utilized to fulfill the PWS requirements?
A6. There is no history concerning this PWS but see 1.8.4 of the PWS.
Q7. Does this requirement have an incumbent contractor?
A7. There is no incumbent contractor for this requirement.
Q8. What is the contract number under which any services related to this requirement are currently being provided?
A8. N/A Q9. The Solicitation (p. 4) states that offerors should provide as part of their Management Approach a “manning chart to support the requirements defined in PWS paragraph 5.” Because the RFP does not identify the number of FTE needed to fulfill the requirements, what form is this expected to take? Will the Government provide an example or template?
A9. See 1.8.4 of the PWS concerning FTE. A manning chart will need to be developed to support the requirement defined in the PWS.
Q10. Reference the previous question, if an offeror determines only one FTE is needed to fulfill the requirement, shall a manning chart still be required in the proposal?
A10. See 1.8.4. of the PWS.
Q11. Reference Solicitation p. 4, Section 3, Sub-factor 3: please verify the Government intended to state “Describe your approach for designing a[n] HPO program” and not “Describe your HPO program” or “Describe the HPO program your company will implement…” A11.

Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.
All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. The offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal.

statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered unacceptable. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror's proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailedart work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. The volume shall be organized into the following sections:
Section 1, Sub-Factor 1 - Management Approach: Recruiting, Retention, and Continuity of Services: Describe your management approach, recruiting and retention plan, and manning chart to support the requirements defined in PWS paragraph 5, Requirements.

(1) The Offeror shall provide a completed Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs within the solicitation. Pricing for each CLIN shall be completed.

(3) General Instructions. In accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation(FAR)
15.402 and 15.403-1, certified cost or pricing data are not required based on the fact that adequate competition is expected for this procurement. Offers will be evaluated using the criteria in addendum 52.212-2, “Evaluation – Commercial Items.” Noncompliance with the Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements may hamper the Government's ability to properly evaluate the proposal and may result in elimination of the proposal from further consideration for contract award. Information other than certified cost or pricing data may be provided in contractor format providing that sufficient information is made available.
Information submitted shall be prepared following the instruction in FAR 15.403-5. It is the Government’s intention to award without discussions. Offerors are encouraged to present their best technical proposal and prices in their initial proposal submission. However, in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range will be determined and offerors notified. The competitive range may be limited for purposes of efficiency IAW FAR Part 15.306 (c)(2). If after receipt of proposals the Contracting Officer determines that there is insufficient information available to determine price reasonableness and none of the exceptions at FAR 15.403- 1 apply, the Offeror may be required to submit cost or pricing data. Additionally, in the event that adequate competition is not obtained, the Contracting Officer may incorporate FAR 52.215-20 entitled, “Requirements for Cost or Pricing Data or Information Other Than Cost or Pricing Data,” into the solicitation and request a Certificate of Current Cost or Pricing Data. Pricing shall be submitted fully completed and error free in the offer schedule of the RFP. The Unit Price, Amount and Net Amount shall be completed for every CLIN and Option CLIN. All final monetary extensions shall be in whole dollars only. In terms of “price reasonableness” the Government will focus on whether the price is too high to be considered fair and reasonable. In terms of “price realism”, the Government will focus on whether the price is too low. The Government’s concern is that the offeror may not understand the requirement or may be offering such a low price that there may be disruption to the program such as high employee turnover. In terms of “completeness”, the Government will focus on whether the price appears to cover all of the work identified in the PWS. In terms of “balance”, the Government will focus on whether the pricing is consistent throughout the term of contract to include any options.
Other than certified cost or pricing data is not anticipated for the award of contract; however, the Government reserves the right to request such information should it become necessary consistent with FAR Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing. There are no page limitations for this volume. Proposal information included in this volume which is not directly related to Cost will be disregarded.

SECTION M PROPOSAL INFORMATION
A. BASIS FOR AWARD
The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposal that is determined to be the most beneficial to the Government, with appropriate consideration given to the three evaluation factors: Technical, Cost/Price, and Past Performance. To arrive at a Best Value decision, the Source Selection Authority will integrate the evaluation of Past/Present Performance, Technical and Price as set out in the solicitation. In terms of the relative importance of the factors, the Technical factor is significantly more important than Present/ Past Performance and when combined however, the non-cost factors are significantly more important than the Price Factor. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical factor (to include all subfactors).
B. EVALUATION CRITERIA. All proposals shall be evaluated by the Source Selection Team (SST).
1. The overarching evaluation approach for all factors and sub factors is as follows:
a. Adequacy of Response. The proposal will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s methods and approach have adequately and completely considered, defined, and satisfied the requirements specified in the RFP. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which each requirement has been addressed in the proposal in accordance with the proposal submission section of the RFP.
b. Feasibility of Approach. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the proposed approach is workable and the end results achievable. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which successful performance is contingent upon proven devices and techniques. The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent to which the offeror is expected to be able to successfully complete the proposed tasks and technical requirements within the required schedule. The following evaluation factors and sub factors will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award will be made to the offeror whose proposal is most advantageous to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and sub factors described below. The Government reserves the right to make award based upon the Cost/Price factor in the event that the Technical, and Past Performance evaluation results of all the offerors’ proposals are substantially the same.
2. The proposals will be evaluated under the three (3) evaluation factors:
Factor 1: Technical Proposal(Most important) Subfactor 1 - Management Approach: Recruiting, Retention, and Continuity of Services Subfactor 2 - Offeror Integration: Integrated and Holistic Approach to HPO Services.
Subfactor 3 - Approach for Designing HPO Program: Quality Control and Contract Administration.
Subfactor 4 - Offeror Proficiency: Proficiency and Knowledge
Factor 2: Price (Somewhat important) Factor 3: Past Performance (Least important)
Subfactor 1: Contract Descriptions.
Subfactor 2: Performance.
Subfactor 3: Subcontracts.
Subfactor 4: New Corporate Entities.
Subfactor 5: Past Performance Questionnaire.
Subfactor 6: Submissions.
Subfactor 7: Small Business Participation Past Performance.
Relative Importance of Factors. Technical proposal is significantly more important than Price. The Price Factor is more important than the past performance. The Past Performance and Technical/Management Factors, when combined, are significantly more important than Price.
(a) Factor 1 – Technical/Management Factor. The Technical evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s requirements. The evaluation will focus on the strengths, weaknesses and deficiencies of the offeror'sproposal.
2. The Technical factor is divided into the following subfactors:
Subfactor 1 - Management Approach: Recruiting, Retention, and Continuity of Services: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s proposed management approach for the basic contract period and all option years. Marginal levels of overall management approach could indicate a lack of understanding concerning mission requirements and may result in the entire proposal receiving an unfavorable rating and/or being eliminated from the competitive range. Describe your management approach, recruiting, and manning chart to support the requirements defined in PWS paragraph
5.0 Describe your ability to provide personnel with the experience required to meet the qualifications identified in PWS paragraph 1.8. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’:
Recruitment- Ability to provide personnel with experience required to meet qualifications identified in PWS
Manning chart- Capability in describing the ability to provide and manage experienced personnel to meet the qualifications identified in PWS
Subfactor 2 - Offeror Integration: Integrated and Holistic Approach to HPO Services.: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s integration of the HPO Program.
Describe your management approach, personnel required, and system design to integrate strength and conditioning, physical therapy/injury management and orthopedic manual physical therapy into a holistic HPO program providing the services identified in PWS paragraph 5.0. Identify how your approach, personnel, and design will accomplish the objectives identified in PWS paragraph 1.8. Major emphasis will be placed on the following:
Integration- Integrate strength and conditioning, physical therapy/injury management, orthopedic manual physical therapy, and operational psychology into a holistic HPO program providing the services identified in PWS
Integrate how your approach, personnel, and design will accomplish the objectives identified in the PWS
Subfactor 3 - Approach for Designing HPO Program: Quality Control and Contract Administration.: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s approach for designing a HPO Program. Describe your approach for designing a HPO program which will meet the administrative and reporting requirements identified in PWS paragraph 5.0. Identify how your approach will aid in accomplishing the objectives identified in the PWS. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’:
Designing a HPO Program which will meet the administrative, logistics, and reporting requirements identified in the PWS
Identify how your approach will aid in accomplishing the objectives identified in the PWS
Subfactor 4 - Offeror Proficiency: Proficiency and Knowledge This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s proficiency with and knowledge of the HPO Program.
Describe your proficiency with and knowledge of the specific services required in PWS. Identify how your proficiency and knowledge will aid in accomplishing the objectives identified in PWS. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’:
Describe proficiency with and knowledge of the specific services required in the PWS concerning the Physical Therapist/Injury Manager, Athletic Trainer, and Strength and ConditioningSpecialist.
Identify how your proficiency and knowledge will aid in accomplishing the objectives identified in the PWS
Rating Scheme: Combined Technical/Risk Rating. The combined technical/risk rating includes consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. Combined technical/risk evaluations shall utilize the combined technical/risk ratings listed in Table 1. There is no separate rating assigned to the individual tabs and no order of importance is stipulated. Tabs are simply used for evaluation purposes to derive a Factor rating.
In accordance with the Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3), Section 3.1, the Army methodology for evaluating Technical Approach and Related Risk is the Combined Technical/Risk Rating, (see Table 1 below). This methodology considers risk, in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings.
TABLE 1 – COMBINED TECHNICAL/RISK RATINGS
Color Rating Description
Blue Outstanding Proposal indicates an exceptional approach and understanding of the requirements and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low.
Purple Good Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirements and contains at least one strength, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low to moderate.
Green Acceptable Proposal meets requirements and indicates an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate.
Yellow Marginal Proposal has not demonstrated an adequate approach and understanding of the requirements, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is high.
Red Unacceptable Proposal does not meet requirements of the solicitation, and thus, contains one or more deficiencies, and/or risk of unsuccessful performance is unacceptable. Proposal is unawardable.
(a) Factor 2 – Price. Adjectival ratings shall not be used for offerors’ Cost/Price proposals. The Government will fully evaluate and negotiate all priced Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs) for award. For award purposes, the total proposed price for all CLINs will be added together into a total sum (contract value). The evaluation of all option CLINs will not obligate the Government to exercise any option. The Offeror’s Cost/Price proposal will be evaluated asfollows.
a. FFP Evaluation. For a price to be fair and reasonable, it must represent a price to the Government that a prudent person would pay in the conduct of competitive business. The Offeror’s proposed fixed-price CLINs may be evaluated, using one or more of the techniques described in FAR 15.404-1 in order to determine if they are fair and reasonable.
b. Overall Cost/Price Proposal Evaluation: The overall Cost/Price proposal will evaluated for the following:
1) Compliance: The Cost/Price proposal submitted by the Offeror will be evaluated for compliance based upon the submission requirements contained in the Section L, Cost/Price instructions.
2) Unbalanced Pricing: The Offeror’s overall Cost/Price proposal will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing as defined in FAR 15.404-1(g). An offer may be rejected if the contracting officer determines that the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government (see FAR 15.404-1(g)(1) through FAR 15.404- 1(g)(3)).
3) Errors: The Offeror’s Cost/Price proposal will be reviewed for errors. The Offeror may be given an opportunity to clarify certain aspects of their proposal at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.
4) Total Evaluated Price: The Total Evaluated Price consists of summing the Offeror’s proposed firm fixed-price CLIN prices (CLIN 0001, CLIN 0002, CLIN 0003, CLIN
2001, CLIN 2002, CLIN2003, CLIN 3001, CLIN 3002, CLIN 3003, CLIN 4001, CLIN
4002 and CLIN 4003).
To evaluate the option to extend services (FAR 52.217-8) CLINs, one-half of the proposed cost for the last year of the performance period under CLIN 4001, CLIN 4002 and CLIN 4003 shall be added to the Total Evaluated Price.
The resulting award will be a firm fixed price contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.
Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s).
Utilization of 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. Circumstances may arise that require the Contracting Officer to utilize FAR 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services, upon the performance end date of Option Period 4, for no more than six (6) months.
Pricing for an additional six (6) months will be evaluated based off of pricing proposed for Option Period 4 by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option, 2nd option, 3rd option, 4th option, and 1/2 of the 4th option.
Unbalanced Pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices.
Definitions.
Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.
Completeness. The offeror’s proposal is in compliance with the Price
Volume instructions in the solicitation.”
Realism: In this regard, the Government is aware that an overly optimistic price proposal may lead to various negative impacts on both the agency and the contractor. Further, unrealistic price proposals may lead the Government to reasonably question the offeror understands of the requirement. An unrealistically low proposal increases the risk of unsuccessful contract performance.
Balance: Unbalanced pricing occurs when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more periods of performance is significantly different (much greater or much less). Unbalanced pricing may increase performance risk and may result in the payment of unreasonably high prices.
(b) Factor 3 - Past Performance. Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the relative risks associated with an offeror’s likelihood of success in performing the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Performance risk is assessed at the factor level after evaluating aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists.
Past performance areas of evaluation include:
- Business Relations
- Quality of Service
- Schedule
- Cost Control
- Customer Satisfaction
- Compliance with Socio-Economic Goals
(1) Each offeror will receive a performance confidence assessment rating based on the Offeror’s recent past performance, focusing on performance that is relevant to the requirements of this solicitation. There are two aspects to the past performance evaluation. The first is to evaluate the offeror’s past performance to determine how relevant a recent effort accomplished by the offeror is to the effort to be acquired through the source selection.
(2) Recency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three (3) years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.
(3) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be of similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation. Recent past performance is defined as not more than three (3) years from the RFP release date; relevant in terms of similar nature of work, size, and complexity.
- There are four levels of relevancy as shown in Table 2. With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance is a stronger predictor of future success and will have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of lesser relevance.
- A relevancy determination of the offeror’s (including joint venture partner(s)…
