Offerors shall provide and submit the prime contract number and all Governmental agency POC information, in lieu of subcontract numbers or prime contract POC information in situations as described above.

v. Volume V Small Business Factor

1) All offerors (both other than small businesses and small businesses) shall submit a Small Business Subcontracting Plan

Commercial Plan (Commercial Plan). In accordance with FAR Part 19.701 a Commercial Plan is subcontracting plan (including goals) that covers the offerors fiscal year and that applies to the entire production of commercial items sold by either the entire company or a portion thereof (e.g., division, plant, or product line). Any contractor receiving a contract with a value greater than $750,000 must agree in the contract that small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns will have the maximum practicable opportunity to participate in contract performance consistent with its efficient performance. It is further the policy of the United States that its prime contractors establish procedures to ensure the timely payment of amounts due pursuant to the terms of its subcontracts with small business, veteran-owned small business, service-disabled veteran-owned small business, HUBZone small business, small disadvantaged business, and women-owned small business concerns.

2) The Commercial Plan shall be in accordance with FAR 52-219-9(d). This required information will be used to evaluate the extent of your proposed participation/commitment to use U.S. small businesses in the performance of this acquisition (as small business prime offerors or small business subcontractors) relative to Section M, Factor IV, Small Business Participation. The Commercial Plan

will be incorporated into the base IDIQ. Binding commitments are considered enforceable contractual requirements. Note: The small plan outlines the "specifics" or the "how" or the "details" of the Offerors firm intentions to maximize the utilization of small businesses within this acquisition. The offeror shall articulate small business contributions to contract performance at the Prime contract through first tier subcontract levels. Second and lower tier small business subcontractors will not be considered towards the total small business participation percentage.

d. Discussions.

i. General Information.

- The Government reserves the right to award without discussion.

- The Offerors proposal will be evaluated as set forth in Section M of this solicitation. IAW FAR 15.306(d), the Government may hold discussions with Offerors. Clarifications and/or discussions may be deemed necessary, as described in FAR 15.306(a). However, the

Offerors initial proposal should contain its best terms and conditions from a price and technical standpoint as the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the resultant contract without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary.

- If the PCO determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the PCO may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

ii. Discussion Scheduling. If discussions are conducted, the PCO may schedule discussion session(s) to clarify Offerors questions on Evaluation Notices (ENs), and each Offeror will be notified of the time and place prior to its discussion session. Appropriate security clearances should be provided by the Offerors in sufficient time to process the requests. The PCO will provide additional instructions with the notification. The discussion sessions will take place at a facility of the Governments choosing in the Aberdeen, MD area.

Offerors are advised that non-Government advisor subject matter experts (SMEs) have participated in the development of the requirement or may participate in the source selection process. The non-Government advisor SMEs that may participate in the source selection process will have access to all the necessary parts of the Offerors proposal pertinent to the SMEs area of expertise. Non-Government SMEs that will participate in the source selection process will not have access to price data or past performance information. These individuals are non-voting members of the evaluation team. The companies listed below are precluded from being a prime contractor or from participating in any teaming arrangement with potential Offerors due to Organizational Conflict of

Interest concerns. Offerors must advise the PCO as soon as possible of any concerns/questions with regard to the use of the non-

Government SMEs from the companies listed below. Any Offeror that is affiliated with or is contemplating a contractual relationship with the companies listed below must notify the PCO as soon as possible.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

A. Basis for Award (Section M)

The Government will award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose best overall proposal is determined to be most beneficial to the Government.

The Government anticipates awarding to a single Offeror in response to this solicitation.

The award will be made based on the best overall (i.e., best value) proposals that are determined to be the most beneficial to the

Government, with appropriate consideration given to the four (4) evaluation factors: Technical, Price,Past Performance and Small

Business. For the Technical and Price factors, the Government will utilize the tradeoff process under the Best Value Continuum. The

Technical factor is significantly more important than the Price factor. Offerors will be cautioned that the award may not necessarily be made to the lowest prices offered or the highest technically rated proposals. Past Performance factor will assess the degree of confidence in the offeror. Small Business factors will be rated on an acceptable or unacceptable basis. A minimum rating of acceptable must be achieved for the Technical and Small Business factors and a rating of Limited Confidence or higher for Past Performance to be considered eligible for award. Offerors proposed prices within the Price Factor must be equal to or less than the Government affordability values for each Delivery Order identified within the TEP Worksheet (Attachment 0003) to be considered eligible for award.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award the contract without conducting discussions with Offerors. The Government reserves the right to hold discussions as determined necessary or required in the sole discretion of the Government's Procuring

Contracting Officer. Therefore, an Offerors initial proposal should contain its best terms from a price and technical standpoint. The

Procurement Contracting Officer (PCO) may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range if the PCO determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an effective competition can be conducted.

Proposals with an omission or unclear proposals may be judged to mean the Offeror does not fully understand the requirements or understand what it takes to meet or exceed the requirements, regardless of the proposed price. In that case, the Offeror may be found unacceptable and ineligible for award.

B. Factors to Be Evaluated

Award will be made to the Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government based upon an integrated assessment of the proposal. These proposals will be deemed the most advantageous to the Government based upon the evaluation factors described below.

Factor I Technical

Factor II Price

Factor III Past Performance

Factor IV Small Business

C. Evaluation Approach

1. Technical Factor. Two (2) phases of the technical proposal evaluation will be conducted by the Government. Under both phases, the

Government will evaluate the extent to which an Offerors solution is able to accomplish the steps set forth in the Phase I Product

Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment 0005), and the Phase II Product Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment 0006), which is provided for evaluation purposes only.

a. Phase One Product Demonstration: During this phase the Government will evaluate on a Go/No Go Basis the extent to which an

Offerors solution is able to accomplish the steps described in Phase One of the Phase I Product Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment

0005), which are provided for evaluation purposes only. During Phase I of the Product Demonstration, Offerors solution is required to successfully complete all steps in Phase One of the Phase I Product Demonstration Plan (Attachment 0005). The basis for the Contracting

Officer establishing the competitive range for continuation into Phase Two Product Demonstration (as set forth in Attachment 0005) and beyond will be successful completion of Phase One and rated "Go". Those Offerors who do not successfully complete all the Phase I

Product Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment 0005) steps will be considered unsuccessful, rated "No-Go", will not be part of the competitive range, and will not be considered eligible for award. Ratings of Go/No Go Evaluation are detailed in Table 2 below.

Table 2 - Phase One Product Demonstration:Go/No Go Evaluation

Go - Completes the thread steps as aligned to the PRD requirements, stated in the in the Phase I Product Demonstration Event Plan

(Attachment 0005) Appendix A.

No Go - Does not complete the thread steps as aligned to the PRD requirements, stated in the in the Phase I Product Demonstration Plan

(Attachment 0005) Appendix A.

*** SEE Table 2. Phase One Product Demonstration:Go/No Go Evaluation in Attachment 0008, "Solicitation Tables" of Section J ***

b. Phase Two Product Demonstration: During this phase, the Government will evaluate the extent to which an Offerors solution is

11 15

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

able to successfully complete the steps called out in the Phase II Product Demonstration Plan (Attachment 0006) specifically the demonstration test thread in Appendix A of the attachment. During the Phase Two Product Demonstration, an Offerors solution is not required to successfully complete all Phase II Product Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment 0006) Appendix A. Offerors who successfully complete a higher number of steps will receive a higher rating. Conversely, an Offeror's solution that accomplishes less of the Phase II

Product Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment 0006) steps will be rated lower. An Offeror's solution that does not present a viable solution to the Government may receive a combined technical/risk rating of unacceptable, see Table 3 - Combined Technical/Risk Ratings.

The Government will consider assigning findings for the Technical Product Demonstration and Sustainment Approach. The Government will assign ratings, detailed in Table 3 - Combined Technical/risk rating, based on an Offerors proposed solution to an individual step set forth in the Phase II Product Demonstration Event Plan (Attachment 0006) Appendix A. To receive consideration for award, an Offeror must receive a technical rating of Acceptable or better.

Table 3 - Combined Technical/Risk Ratings

Color Rating--Adjectival Rating--Description

Blue--Outstanding--Proposal indicates and exceptional approach and understanding of the requirement and contains multiple strengths, and risk of unsuccessful performance is low

Purple--Good--Proposal indicates a thorough approach and understanding of the requirement 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 requirement and risk of unsuccessful performance is no worse than moderate

Yellow--Marginal--Proposal has not demonstrated and adequate approach and understanding of the requirement 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.

*** SEE Table 3. Combined Technical/Risk Ratings in Attachment 0008, "Solicitation Tables" of Section J ***

Table 4 - Technical Risk Rating Method

Adjectival Rating--Description

Low--Proposal may contain weakness(es) which have little potential to cause disruption to schedule, increased cost or degradation of performance.
