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.

(a) Offerors shall include a statement that the offeror and all subcontractors shall be in compliance with the Service Contract Labor Standard, as amended. 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 Standard; 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 Teaming Arrangements. Offerors may propose under this solicitation through a contractor teaming arrangement as defined in FAR Subpart 9.601. In the event the offeror is a Joint Venture Agreement (JVA)/Teaming Arrangement, the offeror shall provide a copy of the JVA/Teaming Arrangement. The JVA/Teaming Arrangement shall specify the rights and responsibilities of each partner and shall identify the managing partner. In addition, the offeror shall provide a summary narrative that specifically delineates what each partner will do in regard to performing the contract. The responsibilities of the managing partner are significantly more important than the responsibilities of all other partners combined. As such, a contractor teaming 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 III, Factor 1 - Technical Approach. Offerors shall submit one virus-free sanitized CD-R and one virus-free un-sanitized 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 III 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 III 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: 1.6. – 1.6.6, 1.9. – 1.9.4 and 1.13. – 1.13.5.

Supplement A-1 CIMS-GB Certification

Supplement A-2 Quality Control Plan Supplement A-3 Phase-In Plan

Section B Contractor-Furnished Supplies/ Property Requirements, PWS Section 4:

4.3.3 and 4.3.14

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

(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 1.6. – 1.6.6., 1.9. -1.9.4., and 1.13. – 1.13.5. If General Requirements, PWS Section 1.6. – 1.6.6., 1.9. -1.9.4., and 1.13. – 1.13.5. 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. 6. – 1.6.6., 1.9. -1.9.4., and 1.13. – 1.13.5. 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 III) 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.

(6) 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 for PWS Section: 1.6. – 1.6.6., 1.9. – 1.9.4., and 1.13.- 1.13.5.; the contractor-furnished supplies/property requirements PWS Section 4.3.3 and 4.3.14; 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 1.6. – 1.6.6., 1.9. – 1.9.4., and 1.13. - 1.13.5.;

e. Volume VI, Factor 4 - Small Business Participation Proposal

Small Business Participation Proposal (Format Example)

All offerors (both large and small businesses) are required to complete a Small Business Participation Proposal. Offerors should propose the level of participation of small businesses (as a small business prime, joint venture, teaming arrangement, and/or small business subcontractors) in the performance of the acquisition relative to the objectives/goals set forth in the evaluation of this area.

(1) Check the applicable size and categories for the PRIME Offeror only -- Check all applicable boxes:

{ } Large Prime or

{ } Small Business Prime; also categorized as a { } Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) { } Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) { } Historically Underutilized Zone (HUB Zone) Small Business { } Veteran Owned Small Business (VOSB) { } Service Disabled Veteran Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)

(2) Submit the total combined dollar value and percentage of work to be performed by both large and small businesses (include the percentage of work to be performed both by Prime, joint venture, teaming arrangement, and subcontractors):

Example: If the Prime proposes a price of $1,000,000 (including all options), and small business(es) will provide $250,000 in services/supplies as a prime, joint venture, teaming arrangement, or subcontractor, the % planned for small businesses is 25%; and 75% for large business, equaling 100%.

Total Percentage planned for Large Business(es) ____75_% = $ 750,000

Percentage planned for Small Business(es) ____25_% = $ 250,000

100% = $1,000,000

When combined, Large and Small Business totals must equal 100%.

(3) Please indicate the total percentage and dollar value of participation to be performed by each type of subcategory small business. The percentage of work performed by Small Businesses that qualify in multiple small business categories may be counted in each category:

Example: Victory Prop Mgt (WOSB and SDVOSB) performing 2%; and Williams Group (SDB, HubZ and WOSB) performing 3%. Results equate to: SB 5%; SDB 3%; HubZone 3%; WOSB 5%; SDVOSB 2%; VOSB 2%;). SDVOSBs are also VOSBs automatically; however VOSBs are not automatically SDVOSBs.
