L.3.4.4 For Technical Subfactor 4 - Overall Width requirement in ATPD section 3.4, the Offeror shall:

(a) Identify its proposed performance level (Threshold or Objective, no values between will be evaluated as meeting the threshold), and

(b) Provide substantiating data to support the proposed level of performance. At a minimum,provide a level 2 drawing of the overall proposed trailer with dimension for the overall width with outrigger brackets stowed.

L.3.5 Substantiating data shall be in the form of Government, third party or Offeror test data and reports; commercial literature, manufacturers specification sheets, parts lists, certified modeling and simulation data, 2-D Computer Aided Design (CAD) drawings, schematics, engineering analysis, historical information, analytical support, safety confirmations, material release information, photos, videos, design documentation and/or rationale. Government or third party test data and reports for the same design configuration that is being offered will be considered the most credible form of substantiating data. Therefore, any substantiating data for a design configuration which meaningfully varies from the offered design configuration may be considered less credible. All other forms of substantiating data will be considered less credible.

Substantiating data shall be complete, specific, and relevant only to the specific performance levels proposed to be achieved by the

Offeror for each requirement. If the substantiating data for one requirement is the same as data cited for another requirement, then reference the previously provided data and do not provide duplicate data.

Where the Offeror submits substantiating data for a design configuration that varies from the offered design configuration, the Offeror shall explain the extent of the variance and the impact such variances have on the credibility of the substantiating data. Where the

Offerors design varies from a commercial design, the Offeror shall also explain the extent of the variance and the impact such variances have on the total design.

Attachment 0015 of this RFP with the information requested. The matrix identifies the Past Performance consideration in the first row.

The Offeror shall list each of the up to three prior Contracts, Task Orders, or Delivery Orders in the left margin of each chart. These contracts should match the types of Past Performance the Government will be using for evaluation purposes. The Offeror may include a brief description in the matrix of the extent of any similarities. However, any brief narrative provided in the chart itself will not be sufficient to constitute as a substitute for the narrative required by L.4.3.1.1.

L.4.4 In addition, the Offeror shall prepare and submit with the RFP, a list of the references to which the past performance is indicated. The reference list shall contain the following information prepared in the following format:

(a) Contract Number (and delivery order number if applicable);

(l) For each of the contracts listed, provide a brief self-assessment of contract performance. Your self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical and Schedule requirements within estimated costs.

(m) Copies of the Statements of Work from each of the up to three submitted contracts to establish the relevance of the contract to the scope of work activities listed in L.4.3 above.

L.4.4.1. Regarding L.4.4.(l) above, and in evaluating each offerors performance history, the Government will look at the offeror's delivery performance against the contract's original delivery schedule unless the delay was Government caused. Schedule extensions that were the fault of the offeror even if consideration was provided, will be counted against the offeror.

L.4.5. Past Performance Questionnaire: A past performance questionnaire is provided in Attachment 0016. For each of the up to three recent and relevant contracts submitted by the offeror, and based on identification of your most recent and relevant contracts, the offeror shall send a copy of the past performance questionnaire directly to the appropriate Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) or other appropriate technical and contracting individuals such as the private industry equivalent to a PCO like a purchasing manager. The

Offeror shall request that these individuals complete the questionnaire and forward it electronically directly to the contract specialist at charley.g.jackson2.civ@mail.mil by the RFP closing date (See Block #9 of the SF33 cover page to this solicitation) with the subject heading PAST PERFORMANCE INFORMATION FOR [offeror name}.

L.4.6 Corporate entities: If any contract provided as recent and relevant Past Performance was performed by a corporate entity or division other than the corporate entity or division that would perform work under the RFP, please identify them and indicate to what extent those entities will perform this effort. If they have relocated or changed ownership since performance of the listed efforts, please describe any changes in the terms of personnel, facilities, or equipment, from those expected to perform this effort.

L.4.7 Predecessor Companies. If the Offeror, or the Major Subcontractor(s) that is submitted Past Performance Information on, only have recent and relevant performance history as a part of a predecessor company, the Government may consider that past performance in the evaluation of past performance. Please provide the information for those recent and relevant contracts of that predecessor company.

Offerors must also briefly document the history of the evolution from the predecessor company.

L.4.8 Past Performance Information. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals.

The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. Additionally, the Offeror may also be evaluated based on other internal Government or private source information. In this regard, the Government may utilize the Contract

Performance and Rating System (CPARS) to search for recent and relevant offeror performance and ratings. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from external sources other than the proposal, the burden on providing thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror.

L.5 Volume IV: Factor 3 - Price

L.5.1 The Price volume shall include supporting documentation and data in sufficient detail to enable the Government to evaluate the reasonableness of the offerors proposed price. To expedite Government review of the proposals, the pricing files shall be in Microsoft

Excel 2013 compatible format. Any supporting narrative shall be in Microsoft Word 2013 compatible format. Offerors shall insert unit prices for all CLINs as instructed in Attachment 0017, Pricing Spreadsheet. Offerors will provide prices for each contract year. All proposed prices shall be binding. The prices populated by the Offeror in Attachment 0017 shall be in Then-Year dollars (TY$). Then-Year dollars reflect the actual price paid by the Government for goods or services at the time of the base award or at the time of the option award.

To assist with affordability calculations IAW M.1.2, Attachment 0017 will convert the Offerors proposed prices from TY$ to Base-Year

FY2015 dollars (BY15$). Base-Year dollars reflect the inflation adjusted price paid for goods or services in a defined specific base year. The base year for M870A4 is FY2015. The Offeror shall not fill out Section B. Attachment 0017, Pricing Spreadsheet, shall be filled out in the place of Section B, and will become Section B prices.

L.5.1.1 Supporting Data: The offeror is required to provide, on a per unit basis, narratives describing the basis and rationale of each

CLIN. Identify any judgmental characteristics applied and any mathematical, statistical, or other methods used in pricing, and the nature and amount of any contingencies or adjustments included in the proposed amounts. If the offeror sells a comparable base unmodified trailer to other customers, the offeror shall provide a copy of the current published catalog price or published price list that is available to their customers or provided to their dealers and distributors. The offeror shall also provide information on sales of the base trailer to other customers, including other Government entities. This information shall include trailer model sold, customer, date of sale, unit price, quantity, and a comparison of the technical differences (and associated cost impacts) between this base model and the trailer offered in response to this solicitation. Also include copies of invoices for these other sales.

L.5.2 In addition to the above information, the Government reserves the right, as a clarification or discussion under FAR 15.306, to request additional or more detailed price breakdown data to support its determination of price reasonableness.

L.6 Volume V: Factor 4 - Small Business Participation (SBP)
