The Performance Period is anticipated to begin on 08 April 2017, through 07 April 2022. All payments will be made through Wide Area Workflow (WAWF).

2. Offerors shall submit a proposal that is legible and comprehensive enough to provide the basis for a sound evaluation by the Government. Information provided shall be precise, factual, and complete. Legibility, clarity, completeness, and responsiveness are of the utmost importance.

3. NEGOTIATIONS/DISCUSSIONS: The Government intends to award without discussions.

Offerors should provide their best, complete proposal, upon initial submission. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions and negotiations if deemed necessary by the Contracting Officer. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; ; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

BASIS FOR AWARD

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 (3) evaluation factors: Technical, Cost/Price, and Past Performance. The Technical and Past Performance factors when combined are significantly more important than Cost/Price. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical factor (to include all subfactors). Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest cost offered. NOTE: ALL NON-PRICED FACTORS COMBINED

ARE SIGNIFICANTLY MORE IMPORTANT THAN COST/PRICE.

B. FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The following evaluation factors and subfactors 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 subfactors described below.

Factor 1: The Technical factor is further divided into the following subfactors:

1. Management Capability

2. Scheduling Strategy

3. Prior Experience

Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address each subfactor as it applies to the Performance Work Statement (PWS). A detailed explanation of the criteria for the evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph C of this section. During evaluations of each proposal, the Government will assign each subfactor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

Factor 2: Cost/Price: The resulting award will be a firm fixed priced contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the Firm-Fixed Price effort.

Factor 3: Past Performance: Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine relevancy and confidence assessment.

Total Evaluated Price. For the purposes of evaluation, the offeror’s total evaluated price will include the one-year base period, and the four (4) one (1) year option periods for all CLINs, as well as the options available under FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. To account for the option period(s) possible under Clause 52.217-8 (maximum six months), the Government will take the price for all CLINs of the final option period, prorate it by a six-month value and add it to the sum of all CLINs (base plus all option periods) . This amount will be the total evaluated price. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the options.

C. EVALUATION APPROACH

All proposals shall be subject to evaluation by the Source Selection Team (SST).

1. The SST will use the combined technical/risk rating when evaluating each proposal and will include consideration of risk in conjunction with the strengths, weaknesses, significant weaknesses, uncertainties, and deficiencies in determining technical ratings. The SST will use the Combined Technical/Risk Ratings in Table 1 to assign adjectival ratings for each technical Subfactor.

2. The Technical factor is divided into the following subfactors:

Subfactor 1: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s proposed management capability for the basic contract period and all option years. Marginal levels of overall management capability 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. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’:

Management capability, knowledge, and understanding of military applications, regulations, and technical manuals governing maintenance standards and procedures.

Management and GCSS-A technician’s ability to be trained in the GCSS-A software and ability to perform upon start of the contract as the high OPTEMPO of the Pre-positioned Training Fleet (PTF) mission does not allow for down time.

Management’s ability to hire and retain the proper labor skill sets and labor mix required to provide support, which includes the ability to maintain certifications for any skill sets that require one. Suggested labor categories are, wheeled vehicle mechanics, generator technicians, electrical technicians, tent canvas technicians and is not all inclusive. Additionally, the offeror’s management ability to quickly fill vacancies with qualified personnel without disrupting operations due to personnel shortage delays.

Subfactor 2: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s scheduling strategy. Major emphasis will be placed on the following:

The offeror's capability to manage personnel and maintenance schedules that coincide with supporting the training rotations IAW PWS sections 1 and 5.

The offeror’s capability to phase in or transition from the incumbent contractor. It is paramount that there is no lapse in contract support of the PTF activity.

The offeror’s capability to handle surge requirements that may arise during the performance period IAW PWS section 5.

Subfactor 3: This subfactor evaluates the offeror’s prior experience. The evaluation will focus on the offerors’:

Program manager’s experience managing large multi-faceted operations with occasional schedule changes due to OPTEMPO.

Key personnel’s experience level handling flexible support scheduling and sustaining the required level of support.

Experience in attaining and maintaining the required certifications listed in the

PWS for all labor skill sets IAW PWS sections 1 and 5.

The Technical Factor Ratings, excerpted below focus on the strengths, deficiencies, weaknesses, risks and uncertainties of the offeror's proposal. The color rating depicts how well the offeror’s proposal meets the Technical subfactor requirements.

3. Cost/Price Factor. The contract will be a firm fixed price service contract. The base program and all option years shall be included in the cost/price calculation.

FFP Requirements

1) The RFP requires firm-fixed-prices contract line items. A price reasonableness approach will be utilized by the Government to determine that the proposed prices offered are fair and reasonable.

2) The Government will examine the individual price of the phase-in CLIN and all Surge CLINs to determine the price fair and reasonable and if unbalanced pricing is occurring. However, the phase in CLIN and the Surge Option CLINS will not be included in the Total Evaluated Price.

4. Past Performance Factor. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts of the PWS.

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. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s (and major subcontractor’s) record of performance as it relates to all solicitation requirements, including cost, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. Major subcontractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team who are expected to perform fifteen (15) percent or more of the proposed effort. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process.

Therefore, offerors will be reminded to include the most recent (within the past three years) and relevant efforts in their proposal. Absent any recent and relevant past performance history or when the performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror will be assigned an “unknown confidence rating” and its proposal will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably on past performance. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar services as compared to the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 811118. Data used in conducting performance risk assessments shall not extend past three years prior to the issue date of the RFP, but may include performance data generated during the past three years without regard to the contract award date.

b. Offerors shall submit all Government and/or commercial contracts for the prime offeror and each major subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past three years, from the issue date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this RFP.

The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources, but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available.

c. The past performance factor considers each offeror’s demonstrated recent and relevant record of performance in supplying products and services that meet the contract requirements. There are four aspects to the past performance evaluation: recency, relevancy, Quality Assessment, and performance confidence assessment.

(i) RECENCY: The first aspect of the past performance evaluation is to assess the recency of the offer. Recency, as it pertains to past performance information, is a measure of the time that has elapsed since the past performance reference occurred. Recency is not separately rated; however, the past performance must be within 3 years to be considered recent.

Past Performance Recency Ratings

Rating Definition

Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government does not have a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

(ii) RELEVANCY: The first aspect of the past performance evaluation is to assess 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. Relevancy is not separately rated; however, the following criteria will be used to establish what is relevant which shall include similarity of service/support, complexity, dollar value, contract type, and degree of subcontract/teaming.

Past Performance Relevancy Ratings Rating Definition

Very Relevant Present/past performance effort involved essentially the same scope and magnitude of effort and complexities this solicitation requires.

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

Somewhat Relevant Present/past performance effort involved 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.

(iii) QUALITY ASSESSMENT: Assess the quality of the offeror’s past performance on those recent efforts that were determined relevant by determining how well the contractor performed on the contracts. Documented results from Past Performance Questionnaires, interviews, CPARS, and other sources form the support and basis for this assessment.

(iv) PERFORMANCE CONFIDENCE ASSESSMENT: The final step is for the team to arrive at a single consensus performance confidence assessment for the offeror, selecting the most appropriate rating from the chart below. This rating considers the assessed quality of the relevant/recent efforts gathered. Ensure the rationale for the conclusions reached are included.

Performance Confidence Assessments

Rating Definition Substantial Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the

Government has a high expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

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

Neutral Confidence No recent/relevant performance record is available or the offeror’s performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned. The offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on the factor of past performance.

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

No Confidence Based on the offeror’s recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.
