No electronic video or audio material will be reviewed or considered in the evaluation. Files shall not contain classified data. The use of hyperlinks in proposals is prohibited.

Offerors shall clearly identify which pages are to be evaluated by including a page number. For pages included against the page limitations, Offerors shall put only the page number (i.e., 1, 2, 3, etc.) for each volumes submission. For pages to be evaluated, but are excluded from the page limitations, as identified below, Offerors shall separately number each submission with a unique identifier to clearly indicate the submission (i.e., FMEA 1, FMEA 2, etc.; or IMS 1, IMS 2, etc.; or LOC 1, LOC 2, etc.).

a. Volume 1, Production, shall not exceed 175 pages, inclusive of a limit of 40 oversized pages. The Integrated Master Schedule

(IMS), Failure Mode Effect Analyses (FMEA) and letters of commitment are excluded from the page count limit. Any narratives, analyses, detailed descriptions, explanations, or calculations supporting the IMS and FMEA are NOT excluded from the page count limit. For a teaming approach, signed copies of proposed letters of commitment or teaming agreements are also excluded from the page count limit.

b. Volume 2, Operations, shall not exceed 125 pages, inclusive of a limit of 30 oversized pages. For a teaming approach, signed copies of proposed letters of commitment or teaming agreements are also excluded from the page count limit.

Contracts", Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR), or Summary Subcontract Reports (SSRs) from the Electronic Subcontracting Reporting

System (eSRS), and commercial plans associated with the SSRs are excluded from the page count limit.

8. The Government presumes the Offerors proposal represents its best effort to respond to the solicitation. The Offerors submission shall therefore be thorough and complete. The Offeror is expected to provide sufficient detail in a clear and concise manner to completely and logically address each evaluation factor and subfactor. The Government does not desire excess verbiage, unnecessary and elaborate brochures, lengthy, repetitious, disorganized presentations, or any information beyond that sufficient to present and complete an effective offer. Deficiencies, whether informational or technical, may be cause for elimination from the competitive range and/or rejection of an offer. Unsupported promises to comply with the contractual requirements are not sufficient. Proposal shall not merely reiterate the contractual specifications, but rather shall provide convincing documentary evidence of how contract requirements will be met.

9. The successful proposal may be incorporated into the resultant contract in whole or in part.

10. Offeror is responsible for submitting the virus-scanned DVD or electronic submission (email or DOD SAFE) of its proposal to the designated location by the date and time specified in Block 9 of the SF33.

E. VOLUME 4 - PRICE FACTOR

1. Offeror shall submit its proposed prices within the Product Price Matrix (Attachment 0022) and PWS Price Matrix (Attachment 0023).

The Offeror shall also provide a summary of its proposed unit prices in the Summary Price Matrix (Attachment 0024). If the Offeror requests indemnification then the Product Price Matrix Indemnified (Attachment 0025) shall also be submitted.

a. The specific cells within each respective matrix that require entry of information by the Offeror are highlighted in orange.

Other than the information required as annotated in orange, no other information is to be added to the price matrices, nor shall the

Offeror make any changes to the price matrices.

b. All proposed unit prices shall be stated in U.S. dollars and be limited to two decimal places.

c. All unit prices are binding.

d. Failure to fully complete each price matrix may render the Offerors proposal ineligible for award.

2. Instruction Specific to the completion of the Product Price Matrix (Attachment 0022):

a. The Offeror shall propose firm-fixed-prices for all CLINs from the minimum quantity range through the maximum quantity range for each ordering period as identified in the price matrices.

b. FAT prices must be entered on a total price basis and not allocated on a unit price basis.

c. The costs associated with performing indirectly funded PWSs (PWS 1-13) shall be included in the proposed unit prices, as well as the cost of insurance necessary should indemnification not be approved through the Secretary of the Army.

3. Instructions specific to the completion of the PWS Matrix (Attachment 0023):

a. The Offeror shall enter the price per PWS for each ordering period. PWS prices shall include all costs (direct and indirect) and profit.

b. Total insurance cost shall be entered in the PWS Matrix (Attachment 0023) on Row 14 for each ordering period. Insurance costs in this context means costs that would be necessary should indemnification not be approved through the Secretary of the Army. The Offeror shall plan to cover these costs indirectly and price accordingly within the price matrix.

4. Instructions specific to the completion of the Summary Price Matrix (Attachment 0024).

a. The Offeror shall enter the Production Total Evaluated Price from Production Price Summary tab of the Product Price Matrix

(Attachment 0022) into the Product TEP of Summary Price Matrix (Attachment 0024). Should a discrepancy occur between to TEP listed in

Attachment 0022 and the value listed in Attachment 0024, the value in Attachment 0022 shall take precedence.

b. The Offeror shall enter the Total Production Direct PWS cost from PWS Price Matrix (Attachment 0023) into the PWS Summary of the

Summary Price Matrix (Attachment 0024).

5. Instruction for completion of the Product Price Matrix Indemnified (Attachment 0025):

a. If the Offeror is submitting a request for indemnification, the Product Price Matrix Indemnified (Attachment 0025) shall also be submitted. The Production Price Matrix Indemnified is to be priced as if indemnification is approved by the Secretary of the Army.

Accordingly, those portions of insurance costs which become unnecessary if indemnification is approved, should be removed from the product unit prices. If indemnification is approved by the Secretary of the Army, it will only apply to unusually hazardous risks which are defined by the Secretary of the Army in the approval memorandum; it does not relieve the contractor of its responsibility to obtain insurance for those risks not identified in the approval memorandum. As such, the Offeror should plan to cover those costs indirectly in the Production Price Matrix, as well as Production Price Matrix Indemnified.

b. The Offeror shall propose firm-fixed-prices for all CLINs from the minimum quantity range through the maximum quantity range for each ordering period as identified in the price matrices.

c. FAT prices must be entered on a total price basis and not allocated on a unit price basis.

d. The costs associated with performing indirectly funded PWSs (PWS 1-13) shall be included in the proposed unit prices.

e. The cost of insurance necessary should indemnification not be approved through the Secretary of the Army shall be excluded for this price matrix.

5. The Government anticipates receiving adequate price competition under this solicitation; therefore, cost or pricing data is not required to be submitted with the proposal. However, in the event the Contracting Officer determines that adequate competition does not exist (i.e. single Offeror), the Government reserves the right to require certified cost or pricing data be submitted. Additionally, the

Government reserves the right to request data other than certified cost or pricing data in the event such data is necessary to establish a fair and reasonable price.

6. Should the Government identify an Offerors proposed pricing as potentially unbalanced and the Offeror subsequently confirms its pricing to the Government, the Offeror shall then provide rationale and/or supporting documentation to validate any questioned pricing and demonstrate that said pricing is not unbalanced or that any unbalanced pricing does not present unacceptable risk to performance and also will not result in unreasonably high prices for contract performance.

b. Historical Commitment to Small Business Participation.

i. Payment Procedures: Offeror shall include a written statement of its established procedures to ensure timely payments to small business subcontractors in accordance with FAR 52.219-8, Utilization of Small Business Concerns for those contracts awarded within the past three (3) years from the closing date of this solicitation, under which it was required to do so. If not required in any contracts, the Offeror shall so state.

ii. Compliance with Small Business Subcontracting Plans: The Offeror shall demonstrate its compliance with terms and conditions of FAR 52.219-9, Small Business Subcontracting Plan by providing the most recent Individual Subcontracting Report (ISR) for three (3) contracts performed within the past three (3) years from the closing date of this solicitation that included a subcontracting plan. If not required in any contracts, the Offeror shall so state. If the Offeror has less than three (3) contracts with performance within the past three (3) years, the Offeror shall provide the most recent ISR for each contract it has that meets the three (3) year requirement, and state that the Offeror does not have three (3) contracts. If ISRs are not available, submission of three (3) years of Summary

Subcontract Reports (SSRs) and associated commercial plans shall be submitted.

An OTSB must submit an acceptable Small Business Subcontracting Plan in order to be eligible for award as the Small

Business Subcontracting Plan of the apparent awardee will be reviewed as part of the responsibility determination.

G. VOLUME 6 - INDEMNIFICATION REQUEST PACKAGE

1. Requests for Indemnification under Public Law 85-804 will be considered for this solicitation to cover unusually hazardous risks associated with this requirement.

2. If the Offeror wishes to seek indemnification it must submit an Indemnification Request Package in accordance with FAR 50.104-3 and the provisions of this solicitation. Indemnification Request Packages shall contain sufficient and compelling justification as required per FAR and Section L.

a. It is essential that the Offerors Indemnification Request Package include all necessary information as requested by FAR 50.104-3, to include, information regarding the availability, cost, and terms of additional insurance or other forms of financial protection necessary.

b. Prices submitted in response to this solicitation are binding and therefore the Offeror will assume full liability of the HSAAP facility. With its indemnification request, Offerors shall explain how it intends to fund incidents that exceed its stated insurance coverages if indemnification is not granted.

c. If proposing the use of an umbrella insurance policy to cover the Offerors global business activities, it shall clearly identify the portion of the umbrella insurance premium it proposes to be absorbed under the HSAAP contract.

d. If the Offeror believes additional coverage to address unusually hazardous risks is cost prohibitive, it must clearly identify each specific risk and the associated cost in order to assist the Government in making a determination relative to the insurance being cost prohibitive.

3. In order to allow the Government to award on a with or without indemnification basis, pending receipt of a Memorandum of Decision from the Secretary of the Army, Offerors seeking indemnification are required to propose production unit prices with and without indemnification. If the Offeror requests indemnification, the Offeror shall submit a completed Price Matrix Indemnified (Attachment

0025). Prices in Attachment 0025 shall reflect the Offerors prices as if indemnification is approved by the Secretary of the Army (i.e.

those portions of insurance costs which become unnecessary if indemnification is approved should be removed from the product unit prices). Note: If indemnification is approved by the Secretary of the Army, it will only apply to unusually hazardous risks which will be defined by the Secretary of the Army in the approval memorandum; it will not relieve the contractor of its responsibility to obtain insurance for those risks not identified in the approval memorandum. A breakout of the Indemnification Total Cost Application figures per ordering periods presented in the PWS Price Matrix (Attachment 0023), shall also be submitted.

4. The PCO, with assistance from legal counsel and cognizant program office personnel, will review the indemnification request and ascertain whether it contains all required information. If the PCO, after considering the facts and evidence, denies the request, notification will be provided to the contractor promptly with the reasons for the denial.
