SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS, AND NOTICES TO OFFERORS

SPECIAL NOTICE FOR SB SET-ASIDE:

This RFP is a 100% small business set-aside. Offerors are strongly encouraged to ensure that the offeror is a small business based on the size standard for the NAICS Code assigned to this RFP. Reference 13 CFR Part 121, and the clauses and relevant FAR references contained within this solicitation. Ensure that your firm fits the definition including but not limited to any affiliations (domestic or foreign). The Small Business Administration determines whether an entity qualifies as a small business concern by counting its receipts, employees, or other measures including those of all its domestic and foreign affiliates, regardless of whether the affiliates are organized for profit. 13 C.F.R. 121.103(a)(6). SBA has a specific set of rules that explain when another person, business or entity is considered an affiliate for size standard purposes. SBAs rules on affiliation for its programs (except SBIR and STTR) are found at 13

C.F.R. 121.103.

The

7 12

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

L.4.1.2 Page Limit: A 12-page limit applies to part of this Volume submission. The page limit only applies to the written narrative(s) required in L.4.1.6. Any substantiating documents submitted in response to Section L.4.1.6. will not be counted in this page limit (Copy of Contract sections, other substantiating documents in response to L.4.1.6.2.1, L.4.1.6.3.1, or L.4.1.6.4.1, etc.).

L.4.1.3 Definition of Contract for the Technical Experience Factor: For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed.

Indefinite Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), and Federal Supply

Schedules (FSS) are written instruments that typically DO NOT demonstrate actual performance, and as such, would not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive/technical instruction, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Governments understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

L.4.1.4 Recent experience is defined as tasks completed on a recent Contract (as defined by L.4.1.3 above). Recent Contract(s) are those performed within fourteen years of the date of issuance of this Request for Proposal (RFP). The offeror is limited to only proposing one Contract submission for each criteria consideration in L.4.1.5. Each Contract must have been performed by the offeror as the prime contractor. In this context, prime contractor is the party that executes an agreement with another party to perform work. The prime contractor of the submitted Contract is NOT required to be a U.S. Government contract holder. Private industry Contract(s) (e.g., an agreement between U.S. Government contract holder and its subcontractor) may be considered as the proposed experience. The Government will not consider the experience of individuals, key personnel, or subcontractors; only corporate experience will be considered.

L.4.1.5 Recent experience will be assessed for comparability in scope against the following criteria considerations:

#1: Development or production of armor tiles that include explosive materials.

#2: Delivery of inert armor tile components, not including standard commercial off the shelf hardware, which can include armor panels, plates or tiles at a delivery rate of 1,000 per month.

L.4.1.6 Technical Experience Proposal Information Requested: For the Technical Experience Factor, the offeror shall substantiate recent experience by providing the requested information. The offerors proposal shall substantiate what executed work was performed under each proposed Contract submission.

L.4.1.6.1 Contract Information: Clearly identify each contract submission separately and provide the following information for each

Contract Submission:

(a) Prime Contractor Name and Address;

(b) Contract Number (and delivery/task order number if applicable);

NOTE: Only propose a single Order (i.e task/delivery order, work directive, technical instruction) for a proposed Contract submission if the effort is part of broader contractual instrument such as an Indefinite Delivery, BOA, BPA, FSS. See Section L.4.1.3 for definition of a Contract. If more than one Order is proposed as part of the same Contract Submission, the Government reserves the right to not consider that Contract Submission in the evaluation.

(c) Proposed criteria consideration from Section L.4.1.5 (#1 or #2)

NOTE: Offerors are reminded that they are limited to proposing one contract submission for each criteria consideration in Section

L.4.1.5. The Offeror may propose the same Contract for both criteria considerations if it chooses, however it will count toward the contract limit of each criteria consideration separately. The Government reserves the right to not consider a Contract submission that is not clearly identified to which criteria consideration it is being proposed, which may result in being assessed with higher risk.

(d) Contract Period of performance;

(e) Government or Industry contracting activity address;

(f) Procuring Contracting Officers (PCO) or point of contact for private industry entity responsible for signing or administering the contract, telephone number and e-mail;

(g) Copies of the Contract pages or sections that demonstrate the following: Contract number, date of Contract execution, Identification of the contract parties, Period of Performance, and Performance Work Statement (PWS) or Scope of Work (SOW);

(h) The offeror shall provide a written narrative that shall be specific only to the work performed on the proposed Contract(s) submission as it relates to the proposed criteria consideration listed in Section L.4.1.5. Note: Do not provide a breakdown of comparability of all past Contract requirements to all current RFP requirements, only discuss the comparability the executed work performed to the criteria consideration identified in L.4.1.5. When citing specific work performed on the proposed Contract submission, provide references to the specific locations within the scope or other substantiating documents, such as paragraph or page number, when possible. When applicable, in its description, the offeror should specify the location in the proposal (to include filename or document reference with page and paragraph of the past contract information) that further substantiates comparability if stand-alone attachments are submitted in this volume; and

(i) An offeror may submit additional documentation, such as related contractual instruments that enhance the Governments understanding of the contract deliverables and/or work performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to substantiate what work was actually performed.

It may also include other instances where the predecessor company was reorganized, restructured, or otherwise altered. A predecessor company does not include an entity which remains separate and distinct from the offeror. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offerors relationship to the predecessor company. The offeror shall support the narrative with documentation evidencing the offerors status as the successor company.
