The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-1

Pursuant to FAR Subpart 12.302(a), FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors – Commercial Items, is tailored. The basic provision paragraphs (a), (f), and (h) – (k) of FAR Addendum 52.212-1 are not replaced. The basic provision paragraph (e) is deleted for this solicitation. The following paragraphs of specific instructions to offerors for this solicitation replace the basic provision paragraphs (b) through (d), (g), and (l).

FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items is tailored by addendum to as follows:

D. Proposal Submission – Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors - Commercial Items.

1. General Instructions.

a. This addendum prescribes the format for proposals and describes the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. The offeror’s proposal shall include all data and information requested herein and shall be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Offerors are required to submit all documentation/information detailed herein, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to submit all required documentation/information may result in a proposal being ineligible for award. In submitting a proposal, offerors are agreeing to the terms and conditions as written in the entire solicitation.

b. These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of information essential to the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals. The instructions permit the inclusion of any additional data or information an offeror deems pertinent within the stated page limitations. Offerors are cautioned to follow the detailed instructions fully and carefully, as the government reserves the right to make an award based on initial proposals received, without discussion of such proposals. However, if deemed necessary, and at its sole discretion, the government may request additional information from offerors.

c. All required elements of the RFP shall be submitted by the offeror with their proposal no later than the date/time shown in block 8 of the Standard Form (SF) 1449, Solicitation/ Contract/Order for Commercial Items.

The proposal shall be submitted to the address identified in block 9 of the SF 1449, Solicitation/Contract Order for Commercial Items. Facsimile offers are unacceptable. Any offeror that submits an offer that is incomplete, does not comply with requirements stated in the PWS, or otherwise does not conform to the requirements specified herein may result in the offeror being removed from consideration for award.

d. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the government's requirements, but rather shall provide convincing rationale to address how the offeror intends to meet these requirements. Offerors shall assume the government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the offeror’s proposal. Any proposal that modifies, or fails to conform, to the essential requirements or specifications of the RFP may cause the proposal to be judged unacceptable resulting in the offer being removed from consideration for award. Any aspect of the proposal judged to be unacceptable may render the entire proposal unacceptable. If the proposal is determined to be unacceptable, upon completion of proposal evaluations, the offeror will be notified promptly of the basis of the determination.

e. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8, Government Contract Files, the government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

f. Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror shall provide a statement that the offeror’s proposal and prices will remain in effect for 180 calendar days after solicitation closing date.

g. Product samples. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed artwork, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

h. Questions, Clarifications, or Discrepancies. Address all questions, clarifications, or concerns regarding this solicitation in writing to Ms. Lizete M. Greene, Contract Specialist, via e-mail at lizete.m.greene.civ@mail.mil, or katherine.i.perry.civ@mail.mil, referencing solicitation number W81K04-18-R- 0024. Questions may be submitted up to 14 calendar days prior to proposal submission date (Block 8, SF 1449) in the format at Attachment 5, “Question and Answer Template”. In the event of solicitation discrepancies (e.g., errors, omissions, or is otherwise unclear or unsound), offerors shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer in writing with supporting rationale. Be advised that all correspondence sent via e-mail shall contain a subject line that reads “W81K04-18-R-0024, Healthcare Housekeeping Services, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital”. Note that e-mail filters at Fort Sam Houston are designed to filter e-mails without subject lines or with suspicious subject lines or contents (i.e.exe or .zip files); therefore, if this subject line is not included, the e-mail may not get through the e-mail filters. Also be advised that .zip or .exe files are not allowable attachments and may be deleted by the e-mail filters at Fort Sam Houston. If sending packages via e-mail, ensure only .pdf, .doc, or .xls documents are sent.

The e-mail filter may delete any other form of attachments.

i. Debriefings. The KO will promptly notify unsuccessful offerors in accordance with procedures outlined in FAR Subpart 15.5, Preaward, Award, and Postaward Notifications, Protests, and Mistakes. Unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.5.

j. Electronic Offers. The offeror shall submit Volumes I through IV in electronic format on read-only CDs

(CD-Rs) with an indication on each CD of the volume number and title. Use separate files to permit rapid location of all portions, including factors, supplements, exhibits, annexes, and attachments, if any. Each volume shall be on a separate CD. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression program must be included. The offeror’s CDs shall be virus free. The electronic versions of the proposal shall be submitted in a format readable by Microsoft (MS) Office Word 2007/2010, MS Office Excel 2007/2010, MS Office Project 2007/2010, and MS Office Power Point 2007/2010, as applicable. The government will accept PDF files for the electronic version with the exception of the price proposal (MS Office Excel 2007/2010) which requires the formulas to be reviewed by the government.

The government will also accept Excel 2003 version as long as it is compatible with the Excel 2007/2010 version. It will be the offeror's responsibility to ensure the Excel 2003 version is compatible with the Excel 2007/2010 version.

k. Organization/Number of Copies/Page Limits. The offeror shall prepare the proposal as set forth in the Proposal Organization Table (Table 1.k. below). The titles and contents of the volumes shall be as defined in this table, all of which shall be within the required page limits and with the number of copies as specified in Table 1.k.

(4) Statements of Offeror.

(a) Offerors shall include a statement that the offeror and all subcontractors shall be in compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standards. For certain labor categories, the FAR Clause 52.222-42, Statement of Equivalent Rates for Federal Hires, provides the government’s assessment of the corresponding titles and occupational codes from the Service Contract Labor Standards Directory of Occupations. The minimum qualification requirements set forth in the PWS allow the Offeror to propose either Service Contract Labor Standards or non-Service Contract Labor Standards covered personnel for certain labor categories. The government is not making a predetermination of whether or not a particular labor category is Service Contract Labor Standards;

or, if covered, which category from the Directory of Occupations applies. It is the responsibility of the offeror and the subsequent contract awardee to comply with the Service Contract Labor Standards.

(b) Offerors shall include a statement of the offeror’s appointed individual to make contractual decisions, and include the offeror’s Commercial and Government Entity (CAGE) code, DUNS number, Tax ID number, along with an email address, telephone and facsimile (FAX) number.

(5) Contractor Team Arrangements. Offerors may propose under this solicitation through a contractor team arrangement as defined in FAR Subpart 9.601. As such, a contractor team arrangement means an arrangement in which –

(a) Two or more companies form a partnership or joint venture to act as a potential prime contractor; or

(b) A potential prime contractor agrees with one or more other companies to have them act as its subcontractors under a specified government contract or acquisition program. A major subcontractor is defined as a subcontractor performing more than 25% of the contract effort. Offerors proposing a contractor team arrangement shall include a statement that fully discloses the contractor team arrangement and company relationships pursuant to FAR Subpart 9.603, Policy.

b. Volume II, Factor 1 - Technical Approach. Offerors shall submit one virus-free sanitized CD-R and one virus-free unsanitized CD-R of the technical proposal.

(1) The offeror shall sanitize one virus-free CD-R by excluding any information that would identify their company (i.e., name, address, telephone numbers, employees’ names, etc.). The sanitized Volume II proposal shall contain the offeror’s CAGE code on the top right corner of each page of each copy for identification purposes.

If the offeror does not have a CAGE code for any reason at the time proposals are due, a five character, alphanumeric, code created by the offeror shall be used. The codes used shall be identified in the Administrative section of the proposal.

(2) Volume II shall be organized according to the following outline. The intent of this outline is to give the offeror a general format to facilitate a timely evaluation by the government.

Factor 1 – Technical Approach

Section A General Requirements, PWS Section 1

Supplement A-1 CIMS-GB Certification

Supplement A-2 Quality Control Plan

Supplement A-3 Phase-In Plan

Section B Government-Furnished and Contractor-Furnished Supplies/ Property Requirements, PWS Sections 3 and 4

Supplement B-1 Supply and Equipment List Section C Specific Task Requirements, PWS Section 5

Supplement C-1 Sample Healthcare Housekeeping Procedures Manual

Supplement C-2 Staffing Chart, Attachment 4

(3) All technical proposal information shall be confined to the appropriate volume and section. For example, only information included in the section labeled “Section A - General Requirements, PWS Section 1” will be evaluated for General Requirements, PWS Section 1. If General Requirements, PWS Section 1 information is included elsewhere in the proposal (e.g., different volume or section), it will not be evaluated as part of the Section A – General Requirements, PWS Section 1. The government will not adapt their evaluation to comply with an offeror’s proposal submission or otherwise go in search of information that an offeror omitted or failed adequately to present. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

(4) The technical proposal (Volume II) shall not make reference to price data. The technical proposal will be evaluated strictly on technical approach.

(5) As the technical proposal will primarily describe how your company meets the solicitation requirements, it shall be specific and complete in every detail. A positive statement to the effect that you will accomplish all requirements per the solicitation is not acceptable. The technical proposal shall not merely offer to perform work in accordance with the solicitation but shall outline the actual methods proposed as specifically as possible. It is the offeror’s responsibility to ensure the completeness of the technical proposal; hence, the government Source Selection Evaluation Board (SSEB) will evaluate on the basis of the information provided in the technical proposal. The government will not assume that an offeror understands, complies, or meets the solicitation requirements unless described and specified in the technical proposal. All requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory.

Factor 1 - Technical Approach. The technical approach shall demonstrate how the offeror intends to meet the solicitation requirements. The offeror shall provide a technical approach of how it intends to meet the general requirements (PWS Section 1); the government-furnished and contractor-furnished supplies/property requirements (PWS Sections 3 and 4); and, the specific task requirements (PWS Section 5) for the performance of healthcare housekeeping services. The offeror shall provide specific narrative details and/or descriptions of its technical approach with actual methods, processes, and procedures that demonstrates the offeror’s compliance and understanding of general requirements (PWS Section 1); government-furnished and contractor-furnished supplies/property requirements (PWS Sections 3 and 4); and, specific task requirements (PWS Section 5). In addition to the technical approach, the offeror shall submit supplements as supporting documents to the technical approach.

(1) Section A - General Requirements (PWS Section 1). The offeror shall provide specific narrative details and/or descriptions of its technical approach with actual methods, processes, and procedures that demonstrate the offeror’s compliance and understanding of general requirements (PWS Section 1). The technical approach shall demonstrate how the offeror intends to meet each of the general requirements in PWS Section 1.

The offeror shall submit the following supplements to support the offeror’s technical approach for general requirements (PWS Section 1):

(a) Supplement A-1, International Sanitary Supply Association (ISSA) Cleaning Industry Management Standard – Green Building (CIMS-GB) Certificate. The offeror shall submit a copy of its current ISSA CIMS-GB certificate or submit supporting documentation of capability to obtain ISSA CIMS-GB certification within 30 calendar days of contract start date. The supporting documentation shall be of substantive, objective evidence (e.g., letter from ISSA) that the offeror will be ISSA CIMS-GB certified within 30 calendar days of contract's start date.

c. Volume III, Factor 2 – Past performance. Offerors shall submit one virus-free, unsanitized CD-R.

(1) The offeror shall submit past performance information for up to three contracts the offeror considers recent and relevant in demonstrating acceptable past performance. Recent and relevant past performance information for this solicitation is past performance for a total of 24 months of the previous 36 months (from the date established for submission of proposals) in a medical facility similar or larger to BACH performing services similar in scope and complexity this solicitation requires. The word “contract” is defined as a single contract or a single task order on an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract. The word “contract”, as defined herein, does not mean basic IDIQ contract, for the purpose of past performance submissions under this solicitation.

If an offeror submits more than three contracts, the government will evaluate only the first three listed contracts for recency and relevancy. The three contracts may include prime and any major subcontractor(s) projected to perform on any resultant contract. Only those subcontractors that meet the definition of a major subcontractor, as defined as performing more than 25% of any resultant contract arising from this solicitation, will be used in the offeror’s past performance assessment.

(2) Past performance information may include data on efforts performed by other divisions, corporate management, and critical subcontractors or teaming arrangements, if such performance is recent and relevant to the requirements of the solicitation. If a contractor teaming arrangement is contemplated, provide complete information as to the arrangement, including any relevant and recent past performance information on teaming arrangements with the same partner. Provide with the proposal a letter of release from all subcontractors who will perform services under the contract that permits the offeror to submit subcontractor past performance information as part of the offeror’s proposal.

(3) The offeror shall provide a list of all past performance customer reference points of contact (POCs). POC customer reference information shall be submitted in the format referenced in Attachment 6, “Reference Customer Information Sheet”. Since the government may obtain past performance information from sources other than those provided by the offeror, offerors are encouraged to provide details on any past performance problems and the corrective actions taken. Additionally, the government may or may not obtain information on all of the offeror’s listed contract references and/or may or may not contact all of the identified POCs.

(4) Past performance shall meet the recency and relevancy definition stated in the Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-2 of the solicitation.

(5) An offeror without a record of relevant past performance or when information on past performance is not available, the offeror’s lack of past performance will be evaluated as having no favorable or unfavorable impact on the evaluation.

d. Volume IV, Factor 3 – Price. Offerors shall submit one virus-free, unsanitized CD-R.

(1) Pricing information shall be addressed only in Volume IV. A proposal may not be evaluated if it contains pricing information outside of Volume IV.

(2) The offeror shall submit their monthly unit prices up to two decimal places (example: $158.03).

All dollar amounts provided in response to these instructions shall be stated in United States (U.S.) currency.

(3) The offeror shall verify the accuracy of its prices entered in Attachment 3 Price Matrix. The prices submitted in Attachment 3 will be used to determine CLIN equitable price adjustment due to changes within scope of the contract as directed/approved by the contracting officer.

(4) An offeror’s total proposed price includes the sum of the all prices for all CLINs for the five-year ordering period submitted on Attachment 3, Price Matrix.

(5) Offerors shall include a completed Attachment 3, Price Matrix in Volume IV, Factor 3 – Price.

Offerors shall not re-format or remove cells from Attachment 3. Submission of the pricing data shall be complete and accurate. All pre-loaded formulas shall remain intact on the CD-R. Errors created due to the offeror changing pre-loaded formulas will not be corrected by the government and may render the offeror’s proposal ineligible for award. The offeror may submit with their price proposal written pricing rationale in Microsoft Word format.

Failure to submit prices for all healthcare housekeeping services shall render a proposal ineligible for award.

(a) Contractor Manpower Reporting (CMR) (see CLIN 0001) and Deliverables (see CLIN 0039).

Offerors shall not provide separate pricing for annual CMR requirements.

(b) Phase-In (see CLIN 0038). Offerors shall provide price for 31-day phase-in requirements.

(c) Minimum Guarantee (Post-Award Conference) (see CLIN 0037). The minimum guaranteed amount is priced by the government and therefore will not be evaluated. The awarded contract will include a minimum guaranteed amount of $1,500.00 and shall not be separately priced by the offeror.

(6) For pricing purposes, minimum thru maximum estimated quantities of square feet to be cleaned are established in the solicitation and Attachment 3, Price Matrix, for each applicable CLIN (CLINs 0002 – 0034) with stepladder price range structures. The minimum thru maximum estimated quantities of SF to be cleaned are developed from the government-furnished Exhibits C and D. Exhibit D is provided to offerors for INFORMATIONAL

PURPOSES ONLY to illustrate not only the square feet to be cleaned but the normal operational requirements (not cleaning frequencies) for each building by room.

(7) In Attachment 3, Price Matrix, CLINs 0002 – 0034 (stepladder price range structures), the “MAX CLIN AMOUNT” will be based on the pre-loaded formula calculation of the average weighted unit price multiplied by the maximum quantity of SF to be cleaned per building multiplied by the number of months that can be ordered on the CLIN. The average weighted unit price formula is pre-loaded in Attachment 3, Price Matrix.

(8) In Attachment 3, Price Matrix, offerors shall propose monthly firm-fixed unit prices (“Monthly Unit Price”) for each stepladder price range identified in CLINs 0002 – 0034. The monthly firm-fixed unit prices are inclusive of all tasks. Offerors shall annotate monthly firm-fixed unit prices that correspond to the stepladder increments for square feet quantity to be cleaned for each building. Attachment 3, Price Matrix, is pre-loaded with the formula to calculate the “MAX CLIN AMOUNT” column for each CLIN.

(9) In Attachment 3, Price Matrix, CLIN 0035 (RMW Services), CLIN 0036 (Linen Services) and CLIN 0038 (Phase-In Services), the offeror shall propose monthly firm-fixed unit prices (“Monthly Unit Price”).

Attachment 3 Price Matrix, is pre-loaded with the formula to calculate the “MAX CLIN AMOUNT” column for each CLIN.

(10) The KO has determined there is a high probability of adequate competition on this acquisition.

Upon examination of the initial proposals, the KO will review this determination and if in the KO’s opinion, adequate competition exists, no additional price information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the KO determines that adequate competition no longer exists, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the KO to determine the reasonableness of price.

3. Special Instructions. Regarding clause at 52.228-5, Insurance- Work on Government Installation, see FAR 28.307 for minimum insurance requirements. In accordance with FAR 52.228-5, before commencing work under this contract, the contractor shall notify the KO in writing that the required insurance has been obtained.

E. Discussions

1. General Information. In accordance with FAR Subpart 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each offeror may be held.

2. Discussion Scheduling. If discussions are conducted, the KO will schedule the discussions sessions with offeror and each offeror will be notified of the time and place.

3. The primary objective of discussions will be to maximize the government’s ability to obtain best value, based on the requirement and the evaluation factors set forth in the solicitation.

4. If discussions are conducted, the KO will establish a competitive range based on the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation criteria (see FAR 15.306(c)). The establishment of the competitive range will be formally documented by the government in a competitive range determination. If discussions are necessary to establish technical acceptability, the KO may conduct discussions with offerors whose proposal(s) are determined to be reasonably capable of being corrected without a major rewrite of the proposal.

5. Discussions will be tailored to each offeror’s proposal and will be conducted by the KO with every offeror within the competitive range. The scope and extent of discussions will be a matter of KO’s judgment. As a minimum, during discussions, the KO will indicate to, or discuss with, each offeror in the competitive range the following: (a) significant weaknesses; (b) any deficiencies that were identified during the evaluation; and (c) adverse past performance information to which the offeror is not yet had an opportunity to respond. This will be accomplished through the release of Evaluation Notices (ENs). All ENs will clearly indicate the type of exchange being conducted (e.g. clarification, communication, etc.). Any EN addressing a proposal deficiency or significant weakness will clearly indicate that a deficiency and/or significant weakness exists. The KO may discuss other aspects of the offeror’s proposal that could in the opinion of the KO be altered or explained to enhance materially the proposal’s potential for award. However, the KO will not be required to discuss every area where the proposal could be improved as outlined at FAR 15.306(d) and (e). All discussions will be documented in writing.

End of Addendum to FAR Provision 52.212-1.

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

Pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 12.301(c), FAR Provision 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items, Paragraph (a) is replaced in its entirety by addendum as follows:

A. Basis for Award. Acquisition will utilize the lowest-price, technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection technique in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.101-2, as supplemented, to make a best value award decision.

Technical tradeoffs will not be made and no additional credit will be given for exceeding acceptability. Award will be made to the acceptable offeror with the lowest evaluated price, deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, and whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements.

B. Factors To Be Evaluated. The following evaluation factors will be used to evaluate each proposal:

1. Factor 1 – Technical Approach: Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal shall address the technical factor as it applies to the PWS. A detailed explanation of the criteria for the technical evaluation is set forth in the “Evaluation Approach”, Paragraph C of this section. During evaluations of each proposal, the government will assign the technical factor an adjectival rating and write a narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

2. Factor 2 – Past Performance: Each offeror’s past performance will be reviewed to determine recency, relevancy, and performance probability assessment.

3. Factor 3 – Price: The resulting award will be an IDIQ contract. Price reasonableness will be utilized in the evaluation of the IDIQ effort.

C. Evaluation Approach.

1. The application of the LPTA technique in the contract award selection and approval process is as follows:

a. The government will evaluate technical proposals on an acceptable/unacceptable (pass/fail) basis to determine technical acceptability. Each technical proposal will receive a rating of acceptable or unacceptable. Only those offerors whose technical proposal has been determined to be technically acceptable will receive further consideration for award. All technically acceptable proposals are considered equal. However, if discussions are necessary to establish technical acceptability, the Contracting Officer (KO) may conduct discussions with offerors whose proposal(s) are determined to be reasonably capable of being corrected without a major rewrite of the proposal. Only those proposals determined technically acceptable, either initially or as a result of exchanges will be considered for award. Technical proposals rated unacceptable will not be considered for award.

b. The government will evaluate past performance on an acceptable/unacceptable

(pass/fail) basis to determine past performance…
