L.1. GENERAL PROPOSAL SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS:

L.1.1 This section contains general proposal submission instructions for the procurement of Trinitrotoluene (TNT). Offerors must have the ability to meet the U.S. Governments requirements as detailed in Section C of this solicitation for the production and delivery of

TNT (NSN 1376-00-628-3333).

L.1.2 Each proposal shall contain the Offerors best terms for award of a contract under this solicitation. Proposals shall be specific, complete, and address each of the designated factors. Failure to provide the required information/documentation in response to this solicitation may result in your proposal being rejected.

L.1.3 Offerors are responsible for confirming with the Contracting Officer and/or Contract Specialist that the proposal submitted has, in fact, been received by the Contracting Officer and/or Contract Specialist. This must be done by the date/time set forth in the solicitation for receipt of proposals.

L.1.4 The U.S. Government anticipates award of up to three IDIQ contracts as a result of this solicitation.

L.1.5 The U.S. Government will award up to three IDIQs to the Offerors whose proposals are technically acceptable and provide the lowest total evaluated price with acceptable past performance, and will have the opportunity to compete for future delivery orders during the life of the contract. Although the U.S. Government may award up to three contracts, the U.S. Government reserves the right to make less than three awards, if it is determined to be in the best interest of the U.S Government.

L.1.6 The minimum guarantee quantity (MGQ) is 3 million pounds. If multiple awards are made, the MGQ will be split equally between all awardees. Future requirements will be competed between all of the Contractors that have been awarded an IDIQ contract.

L.1.7 Each Offeror shall provide the information as required by this solicitation (including attachments and exhibits) in the proper format. Proposals must contain all information as required by the solicitation and should be put into the format as described herein.

Proposals that do not contain all of the information requested in the solicitation risk being determined unacceptable by the U.S.

Government. The U.S. Government will not assume the Offeror possesses any capability, understanding, or commitment not specified in the proposal.

L.1.8 The proposal must not merely repeat the solicitation requirements, but rather must provide documentary evidence explaining how contract requirements will be met.

L.1.9 Each volume shall be as brief as possible. The font used shall not be less than 12 point. (Font smaller than 12 point is ONLY acceptable in graphics, sketches, tables, charts, price matrix, etc. but must be readable without magnification).

L.1.10 The U.S. Government intends to award with discussions (see FAR 52.215-1 Alt I). However, the U.S. Government reserves the right to not open discussions. The Contracting Officer may contact Offerors for clarification, as described in FAR 15.306(a) and FAR 52.215-

1, without opening discussions. In the event the U.S. Government determines discussions are necessary, the Contracting Officer shall establish a competitive range comprised of the most highly rated proposals. Only those Offerors within the competitive range will be included in discussions and considered for an award.

L.1.11 If discussions are conducted, Offerors within the competitive range will be asked to respond to all Evaluation Notices (ENs).

Once all ENs have been answered, the Contracting Officer will close discussions and request Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs). If FPRs are requested, Offerors may revise any portion of its proposal.

L.1.12. All questions concerning this procurement, either technical or contractual must be submitted in writing to the Contracting

Officer and Contract Specialist. No direct discussion between the technical representative and a prospective Offeror will be conducted.

Questions shall be sent to the following point of contacts:

E-mail: Ashlee.g.asplund.civ@mail.mil

E-mail: Bridget.L.Kramer.civ@mail.mil

L.1.13. Proposals shall be submitted electronically to Bridget.L.Kramer.civ@mail.mil and Ashlee.g.asplund.civ@mail.mil. Due to file size restrictions, proposals may be submitted through DOD SAFE, https://safe.apps.mil/ . Offerors will need to request a drop off link from Ms. Kramer or Ms. Asplund prior to using DOD SAFE.

L.1.14 As a requirement under this solicitation, all Offerors must submit Representations/Certifications data into the System for Award

(SAM) Database at https://www.sam.gov/ . The purpose of electronic Representations and Certifications is to provide all Offerors with a portal in which to submit Reps/Certs in a publicly accessible format, nullifying the requirement to submit identical information in response to each and every Federal contract solicitation. Any Offeror that has previously submitted Representations/Certified data into SAM are reminded to update the data prior to submitting with the proposal and shall ensure its records are not expired.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

It is the responsibility of the Offeror to provide complete and thorough explanations for each factor/sub-factor submitted as required by Section L. Each Volume, to include all factors/sub-factors, shall be submitted with the Offerors initial proposal, and the U.S.

Government is not obligated to make another request for the required information. Performance or capabilities proposed that exceed mandatory minimum requirements may be incorporated into the contract IAW FAR 15.306(d)(4).

M.1. Basis for Award:

The U.S. Government will evaluate proposals submitted in accordance with this section and will make a determination considering the following factors: (1) Technical, (2) Price, and (3) Past Performance. A LPTA Source Selection Process in accordance with FAR 15.101-2 will be utilized to select the successful Offeror(s). Award will be made to the Offeror(s) who provide a technically acceptable proposal with the lowest evaluated price(s)and acceptable past performance.

a. The U.S. Government plans to award up to three FFP IDIQ contracts. However, the U.S. Government reserves the right to make less than three awards if determined to be in its best interest. Each IDIQ contract will consist of five, one-year ordering periods.

b. Selection of the successful Offeror(s) will be made following an assessment of each proposal against the solicitation requirements and the cited evaluation criteria. The criteria will be used to evaluate and assess the information provided by the

Offerors in response to the information required by Section L of the Solicitation.

c. The U.S. Government will evaluate each proposal strictly in accordance with Section M.

M.1.1 Other Evaluation Considerations:

a. Proposals that are unrealistic in terms of technical or schedule commitments or contain unbalanced prices may be considered an indication of a lack of understanding of the complexity and risk in the contract requirements and may be determined unacceptable.

b. Pursuant to FAR 9.103, contracts will only be awarded to Offerors that the Contracting Officer determines to be responsible.

Separate from the LPTA source selection criteria, Offerors must be able to demonstrate that they meet the standards of responsibility set forth in FAR 9.104. To assist in the Contracting Officer's determination of Contractor Responsibility, the U.S. Government may conduct a pre-award survey on any Offerors considered for award.

M.2 Factors:

Awards will be made to the Offerors based on the instructions set forth in Section L, and the evaluation of the factors in accordance with section M. Evaluation will be conducted based on the following:

Volume 1: Technical

Sub-factor 1: Test Sample of TNT

Sub-factor 2: Schedule

Sub-factor 3: Manufacturer Facility

Volume 2: Price

Volume 3: Past Performance

M.3 Evaluation Procedures, Criteria, and Ratings:

Each Offeror will be evaluated against the evaluation criteria to determine whether the Offeror has the technical capability, equipment, and personnel required to manufacture and deliver the TNT in accordance with the delivery schedule as delineated in Section B of the solicitation. The U.S. Government will assign a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable for all the non-cost factors. The definition of each rating is below:

Acceptable/Unacceptable Ratings

Acceptable: Proposal meets the requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable: Proposal does not meet the requirements of the solicitation.

M.4 Factor Evaluation Criteria:

M.4.1 Technical:

The Technical factor is comprised of three sub-factors: (1) Test Sample of TNT, (2) Schedule, and (3) Manufacturer Facility.

The U.S. Government will evaluate the technical proposal to determine if the Offeror demonstrates a clear understanding and ability

10 12

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

to comply with the requirements of this solicitation. The U.S. Government will also evaluate the Offerors ability to meet the requirements schedule, based on production rates, and facilities.

M.4.1.2. TECHNICAL FACTOR AND SUB-FACTOR EVALUATION CRITERIA:

Evaluation will be conducted at the sub-factor level with an overall Technical factor rating assigned based on the individual sub-factor ratings and findings. The U.S. Government will assign a rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable for all the sub-factors. An

Unacceptable rating in any sub-factor will result in an overall rating of Unacceptable.

M.4.1.2.1 Sub-factor 1: Test Sample of TNT

The U.S. Government will conduct testing on the Offerors sample of TNT in accordance with tables I and II of MIL-DTL-248D to ensure the sample was produced in accordance with MIL-DTL-248D and passed the U.S. Governments tests as required by Section L. If an equivalent specification was proposed, the U.S. Government will review the specification to verify it is equivalent, or more stringent, than MIL-

DTL-248D.

The Offeror's fiberboard box will be evaluated to ensure it is compliant with drawing 7548645 or equivalent.

For previously approved sources, the documentation provided consists of a report from a Department of Defense agency clearly identifies a Government Point of Contact, date the testing was completed, the name of the source, and that the TNT was determined to be IAW MIL-DTL-

248D or equivalent. If the Offeror proposed material from Nitro-Chem, Poland; Zarya, Ukraine; FSUE, Russia; additional documentation was not required to be submitted as these suppliers are qualified by the Energetics Material Qualification Board.

M.4.1.2.2. Sub-factor 2: Schedule

The Offeror provided an acceptable IMS utilizing a 01 July 2020 as the start date, which includes the required events for delivery including CDRLs, product testing, holiday/maintenance days, including critical path, and long lead items.

The Offeror provided a detailed schedule that indicates how it will meet the U.S Government's requirement of up to 6M pounds per year. The Offeror identified the amount they can produce and deliver to the U.S. Government on an annual basis.

The Offeror included in the IMS the steps necessary to ensure all required licenses and documentation are in place for shipping. The

IMS included when and what licenses will be applied for, when the licenses will be granted, when ships/trucks will be ordered, and when and what documentation will be completed.

M.4.1.2.3. Sub-Factor 3: Manufacturer Facility

The Offeror provided a detailed description of the Manufacturer's facility to include location, size, storage capacity, number of employees, and demonstrated actual output. The Offeror provided a Letter of Commitment signed by the TNT manufacturer certifying that the manufacturer has sufficient capacity available to support the delivery requirements as defined in this Solicitation.

M.4.2 Price Factor Evaluation

The U.S. Government will evaluate Offerors proposed total evaluated price based on prices proposed on the TNT Price Evaluation

11 12

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

Spreadsheet (Attachment 0001). Evaluation of these price factors will be as follows:

a. TNT Price Evaluation Spreadsheet (Attachment 0001) - For each proposal, the U.S. Government will calculate a Weighted Ordering

Period Price for CLIN 0002- Trinitrotoluene by multiplying the proposed unit price for each quantity range for all five Ordering Periods by their respective weight and maximum quantity, and summing its totals. The Evaluated CLIN Price is the sum of the evaluated Weighted

Ordering Period Prices. For CLIN 0001- First Article Test (FAT), the Evaluated CLIN Price is the sum of all five Ordering Period proposed FAT prices. The Total Evaluated Price will be calculated by summing the Evaluated CLIN Prices plus the Use of Government Owned

Property calculation (if applicable).

b. Price Analysis shall be used to determine price reasonableness. Additional analysis techniques may be used if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer. These methods of evaluation may include the use of information/input from sources such as (but not limited to) other U.S. Government agencies and personnel.

c. As part of the evaluation, Offeror proposals may be reviewed to identify any significant unbalanced pricing. In accordance with

FAR 15.404-1(g), i.e., Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.

M.4.3 Past Performance Factor Evaluation:

M.4.3.1 Past performance information is evaluated as a predictor of future contract performance. The U.S. Government will assess the degree of confidence it has that the Offeror will successfully complete the requirements in accordance with the contract terms based on the Offeror's demonstrated record of recent and relevant performance.

M.4.3.2 In conducting the past performance evaluation, the U.S. Government may use information obtained from other sources, or may use information with regard to other projects/contracts performed by the Offeror which it has knowledge, whether or not those projects/contracts are disclosed to the U.S. Government by the Offeror.

M.4.3.3 In evaluating performance history, the U.S. Government may review the Offerors current and prior performance record of complying with all aspects of its contractual agreement: quality of performance; products and services; timeliness of performance; operations management; subcontractor management; problem resolution and, if applicable; cost control.

M.4.3.4 The U.S. Government will consider the recency, degree of relevance, source, and context of the past performance information it evaluates as well as quality, general trends in performance, and demonstrated corrective actions. A significant achievement, problem, problem resolution, or lack of relevant data in any element can become an important consideration in the assessment process. A negative finding in any element may have an impact on the assessment and the overall rating.

M.4.3.5 The relevancy of the past performance information will be determined as follows:

Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same, similar, or some of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

Not Relevant: Present/past performance effort involved little or none of the scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

M.4.3.6. Offerors Past Performance will be rated as follows:

Acceptable: Based on the Offerors performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the Offerors performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable: Based on the Offerors performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Absent of any recent and relevant past performance history, the Offeror will be determined to have unknown past performance and the

Offerors proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. In the context of acceptability/ unacceptability, unknown shall be considered acceptable.

The U.S. Government is not required to interview all POCs identified by the Offeror. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to provide complete past performance information and thorough explanations as required by Section L. The U.S. Government is not obliged to make another request for the required information.
