About this file

This document is an amendment to a solicitation for an Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) firm fixed price (FFP) contract for Aircrew Combat Equipment (ACE) requirements for the U.S. Army, and potentially the U.S. Air Force and U.S. Navy. The amendment updates Section M of the solicitation, removes certain drawings and specifications from the Technical Data Package, and provides answers to vendor questions.

The solicitation is for a 5-year contract with five 1-year ordering periods. The acquisition is a 100% small business set-aside using a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) source selection process. The contract will procure major ACE components including an aircrew survival vest, safety harness, armor carriage, tether system, and flotation device. The government intends to award a single contract based on the lowest priced, technically acceptable proposal. The solicitation includes detailed production requirements, quality, configuration management, and prior experience criteria that will be evaluated.

SECTION M - EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

M-1. General

Basis of Award. The award will be made to the lowest priced technically acceptable proposal. Proposals will be evaluated for_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ technical acceptability but will not be ranked using the non-price Factors (and Subfactors). For an Offeror to be considered for_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ award, the proposal must receive an Acceptable rating in every non-price Factor. A proposal receiving a rating of Unacceptable in any______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ non-price Factor will not be eligible for award.________________________________________________

The Government will evaluate all proposals for technical acceptability, then conduct a price evaluation of each. The Government intends to award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications, as warranted and as described in FAR

15.306(a)).

Therefore, the offerors initial proposals should contain the offerors best terms in all areas. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the PCO later determines them to be necessary. The Government intends to award to one offeror on a Lowest

Price Technically Acceptable basis in order to procure the ACE Production requirement. A rating of Unacceptable for any factor or sub-factor shall lead to an overall rating of Unacceptable resulting in elimination of the offeror for award consideration. The source selection process will be conducted as follows:

Step One: Proposals will be evaluated for technical acceptability under the non-price factors in accordance with the evaluation criteria set forth in Sections M-2 and M-4. Proposal(s) will be evaluated for Technical and Responsibility Determination Factors.

Step Two: All Offerors proposals will be ranked lowest to highest by price The U.S. Government will determine each proposals total evaluated price as calculated using estimated quantities. The price data from each offerors completed Section J Attachment Price

Input Workbook Tab: ACE Prices will be used to calculate the evaluated price in accordance with Section M-3 Price. The USG will complete evaluation of price in accordance with Section M-3. The Procuring Contracting Officer may limit the competitive range to no more than five offerors.

Step Three: The U.S. Government may conduct a pre-award survey of an offeror at this point in the source selection evaluation. Award will be made upon identification of a successful offer with the lowest price and acceptable non-price factors. If at any time during the evaluation process or pre-award survey an offeror is found to be unacceptable, then the offeror may be eliminated from further evaluation. If the lowest price offeror is found unacceptable, the U.S. Government will continue evaluation with the next lowest price offeror.

A Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) of subject matter experts will be established to evaluate all proposals submitted. The evaluation team will be subdivided into factor teams, Technical and Price. Each Factor Team will be led by a Factor Team Chief.

Furthermore, each Factor Team will be responsible for the evaluation of the specific volume associated with their factor. Government personnel shall serve as primary evaluators. This source selection may utilize nongovernment personnel as advisors from the following companies:

(b) Unbalanced Pricing: The offerors Price proposal will be evaluated for unbalanced pricing as defined in FAR 15.404-1(g). Unbalanced pricing exists when, despite an acceptable total evaluated price, the price of one or more contract line items is significantly over- or understated as indicated by the application of cost and price analysis techniques. Offerors are cautioned that a proposal the Government assesses to be unbalanced as to price, may either be rejected or determined unacceptable for award. See FAR 15.404-1(g) for information on unbalanced pricing.

(c) Reasonableness: The Price proposal submitted by the offeror will be evaluated to determine if it is reasonable. In accordance with

FAR 31.201-3, a cost/price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business

M-4 Responsibility Determination. In order to be determined Responsible, an offerors proposal must be Acceptable for all administrative matters. A compliance check of the offerors proposal against the requirements in Section L of this RFP will be conducted.

Offerors determined to be Responsible will receive Acceptable rating for the Responsibility Determination. This evaluation will include administrative matters while the necessity of conduct of the Pre-Award Survey will be determined by the PCO.

(i) Pre-Award Survey. An offeror may have to pass a full or tailored Pre-Award Survey conducted by a government team. The decision for conduct of a Pre-Award Survey will be within the Procuring Contracting Officers (PCO)discretion. The PCO may use CPARs information to determine need for Pre-Award Survey. The Pre-Award Survey, if conducted, will be conducted at the offerors manufacturing facility. Pre-

Award Surveys may also be conducted at the facilities of subcontractors if offerors propose that subcontractors produce a major end item. The following may be evaluated: Production Capability; Quality Assurance Capability to include Configuration Management, Government Property Control and Packaging; Financial Capability; and Accounting System. A deficiency or weakness in any one or more of these areas of evaluation may result in a determination that the offerors Pre-Award Survey is Unacceptable. An Acceptable evaluation is defined as Pre-Award Survey demonstrating that the offeror has the capabilities listed herein above and is capable of performing the required effort. A rating of Acceptable will be assigned to offerors determined to have an Acceptable Pre-Award Survey.

(ii) Other Administrative Matters. The proposal will be evaluated to determine that all other administrative matters are in order for potential contract with the U.S. Government. Proposals exhibiting currency and completeness in Other Administrative Matters will be rated as Acceptable. The following will be evaluated:

i) To be determined as responsive, proposals must comply with all terms, conditions, and requirements stated in the solicitation.

ii) Certifications and Representations and Other Matters. Currency with Certifications and Representations in System for Award

Management (SAM.gov), will be evaluated. If on-line SAM is incomplete, submission in response to the clauses in the solicitations

Section K will be evaluated.

iii) Eligibility for award. In good standing and debarment status will be evaluated.
