L-2.2.1 Volume I, Technical Proposal The offerors shall ensure their proposals comply with the instructions contained herein and completely address all requirements of this RFP (including all Attachments and Exhibits). Features that lessen performance risk should be considered when proposing staffing and management solutions.

L-2.2.1.1 Volume I Chapter I Management Plan

The Management Plan shall include:

L-2.2.1.1.1 Processes and Procedures. The proposal shall include management processes and procedures to ensure successful accomplishment of the tasks described in RFPs PWS. The offeror shall demonstrate an understanding and ability to manage the execution of the requirement. The offerors proposal shall include a description of the management approach for day-to-day operational execution of the requirements defined in the PWS. The offeror shall demonstrate its ability to manage multiple efforts with varying schedules and competing resource needs.

In addition to the information above, the offeror shall discuss to demonstrate a specific understanding of PWS 3.2.1 through PWS 3.2.5

(Security Support) including all subparagraphs and PWS 3.2.12 (Purchasing Agent Support) including all subparagraphs. This shall include a clear understanding of the requirement with supporting details and mitigation of risk.

L-2.2.1.1.2 Staffing Approach. The proposal shall provide a description of the offerors staffing approach for recruiting, hiring, and retaining a qualified workforce with sufficient personnel for PWS performance. The proposal will discuss how quickly labor positions will be filled, and how the workload of vacated positions will be handled until the position is refilled. The proposals must minimally propose to fill labor positions by the 30 and 45 calendar day intervals noted in the PWS respectively for Critical and Non-critical labor positions. Employee retention is a key issue, since employee turnover causes a disruption of support until a replacement employee is provided and becomes fully familiar with performing in the labor position.

(Requirement removed) ___________________

L-2.2.1.3 Volume I Chapter 3 - Facility Security Clearance & Adequate Accounting System.

This effort has Facility Security Clearance requirements, as detailed upon the Contract Security Classification Specification DD Form

254. Offerors shall attest that the facility security clearance requirement is understood, and will be met at the starting point for performance of the contract. The Government cannot "sponsor" Offerors by waiving the Facility Security Clearance requirement.

The awarded contract for this effort will contain cost reimbursable elements, and therefore the Offeror must have a cost accounting system adequate for accurately recording and reporting cost applicable to the contract. Offerors shall attest that the cost accounting system requirement is understood, and will be met at the starting point for performance of the contract.

The successful Offeror must confirm that they meet all requirements of the DD Form 254 and all provisions of the PWS security requirements at time of award so that at time of contract award, the awardee may immediately begin transitioning and performing. The

Government will neither sponsor prime contractors, nor can the Government wait for prospective contractors to obtain appropriate clearances.

L-2.2.4.2 Volume I Chapter 4 OCI Statement/Risk Mitigation Plan/Separation Letters

If applicable, offerors shall submit an OCI statement, Risk Mitigation Plan, and employment separation letters. The Contracting Officer will review the Risk Mitigation Plan to ensure that OCI risks are neutralized and/or reduced to an acceptable level. In the event that an offeror is the anticipated awardee, yet its Risk Mitigation Plan does not sufficiently reduce OCI risk, the Contracting Officer will notify the offeror, provide the reason(s) why the Risk Mitigation Plan fails to sufficiently reduce OCI risk, and allow the offeror a

5 10

It is imperative, therefore, that the offeror present the required information in a clear and complete manner. Offerors are advised, however, that the Government may contact third parties for cost control information, and the Government reserves the right to use any information received as part of its evaluation.

g. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in cost control proposals. The burden of providing thorough and complete cost control information remains with the offeror.
