SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION SF 1449 - CONTINUATION SHEET

The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM FAR 52.212-1

Pursuant to FAR 12.302(a), FAR Provision 52.212-1, Instructions to Offerors (ITO) – Commercial Items, is tailored. The basic provision paragraphs (a) and (f) through (k) of the Addendum to FAR 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) 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 and not further evaluated.

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 as outlined in paragraph, 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.

f. Period for acceptance of offers. The offeror shall provide a statement that the offeror’s proposal and prices will remain in effect for 270 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 full proposal submission in writing to Mr. Nathaniel Trulove at nathaniel.w.trulove.civ@health.mil and Ms. Traci D. Leonard, Procuring Contracting Officer, via e-mail at traci.d.leonard2.civ@health.mil, referencing solicitation number W81K04-23-R-0011.

Questions may be submitted by 29 September 2023, 1500 CDT prior to full proposal submission date located in block 8 of the 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 “W81K04-23- R-0011, Healthcare Environmental Cleaning Services, Blanchfield Army Community Hospital (BACH), Fort Campbell, KY” 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 (e.g., .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(x), or .xls(x) documents are sent. The e-mail filter may delete any other form of attachments.

Debriefings. The Contracting Officer will promptly notify unsuccessful offerors in accordance with procedures outlined in FAR Subpart 15.5, Pre-award, Award, and Post-award Notifications, Protests, and Mistakes.

Unsuccessful offerors may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.5.

i. Electronic copies of each volume shall be submitted through the Solicitation Module of the

Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) suite at https://piee.eb.mil/. Proposals submitted by mail or hand-carried will not be evaluated. Proposals sent through proprietary or third-party File Transfer Protocol (FTP) sites or DoD SAFE will not be retrieved. It is the responsibility of the Offeror to confirm receipt of proposals. All proposals received after the exact time specified for receipt shall be treated as late submissions and will not be considered except under facts and circumstances allowed by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR). For instructions on how to post an offer, please refer to the Posting Offer demo:

https://pieetraining.eb.mil/wbt/sol/Posting_Offer.pdf.

It is the Offeror’s responsibility to obtain written confirmation of receipt of all electronic files of the full proposal by the Contracting office. In the event that the Solicitation Module is down, the alternate method for proposal submission is via email to: traci.d.leonard2.civ@health.mil & nathaniel.w.trulove.civ@health.mil ONLY. The Offeror must obtain prior approval from the Contracting Officer to use the alternate submission method. Offerors are responsible for ensuring electronic copies are virus-free and shall run an anti-virus scan before submission. Electronic copies of each volume shall be compatible with the following software products: Adobe Acrobat Reader 11 and Microsoft Office Suite 2016 or later. Narrative portions of the proposal shall be in Adobe Acrobat portable document file (pdf) searchable text format. The Offeror shall not embed sound or video (e.g., MPEG) files into the proposal files. Electronic files shall be clearly identified for each volume, section, and item.

(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, Unique Entity ID (UEI), Tax ID number, along with an email address, and telephone and facsimile (FAX) numbers.

Notice of Continuation of Essential Contractor Services (offeror shall include a written plan that meets the minimum requirements identified in the clause).

DFARS 252.237‐

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.

The sanitized Volume II proposal SHALL NOT contain the offeror’s CAGE code or DUNS number in the title name.

(7) 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.

1.22. 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.

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

(10) 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 beyond what is described and specified in the technical proposal. All requirements specified in the solicitation are mandatory.

(11) 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 detailing how it intends to meet the general requirements for PWS Section: 1.6. – 1.6.7,

1.9. – 1.9.4., 1.13. – 1.13.5, 1.19 – 1.19.4 and 1.22; the contractor-furnished Items and Services requirements PWS Section 4: 4.3 through 4.3.17 and the specific task requirements PWS Section 5 for the performance of healthcare environmental cleaning 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. – 1.6.7, 1.9. – 1.9.4., 1.13. – 1.13.5, 1.19 – 1.19.4 and 1.22; the contractor-furnished Items and Services requirements PWS Section 4: 4.3 through 4.3.17 and the specific task requirements PWS Section 5.

(1) Supplement A-1, PWS Section 1.19.1 - 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 a substantive supporting document of contractor’s capability to obtain ISSA CIMS-GB certification within 30 calendar days of contract’s start date. The supporting documentation shall be of detailed, 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. A team member or major subcontractor’s ISSA CIMS-GB certification may not be used to satisfy the ISSA CIMS-GB certification for a prospective prime contractor.

(2) Supplement A-2, PWS Section: 1.19.2 – 1.19.4, Quality Control Plan.

The offeror shall provide a Quality Control Plan (QCP) that includes specific quality control procedures or methods that demonstrates the offeror’s compliance and understanding of the quality control requirements (PWS paragraph 1.19.), Attachment 2 - Quality Assurance Surveillance Plan (QASP), and Exhibit A - Performance Requirements Summary (PRS). The QCP shall be sufficiently comprehensive as to demonstrate intensive knowledge of quality control procedures within the HSA of BACH.

The offeror shall submit Supplement B-1, Supply and Equipment List, (Exhibit K, CBA) to support the offeror’s compliance and understanding of the solicitation. The offeror shall provide a supply and equipment list that demonstrates the offeror’s compliance and understanding of the solicitation. As a minimum, the offeror shall include a list of proposed supplies, materials, and equipment sufficient in detail, as a minimum: quantities, product/brand names, unit of issue, quantity per unit of issue, and frequency of purchase to demonstrate compliance and understanding of the solicitation requirements in PWS Section 4.

(c) Section C – Specific Task Requirements (PWS Section 5). 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 specific task requirements (PWS Section 5). The technical approach shall clearly demonstrate how the offeror intends to meet each of the specific task requirements in PWS Section 5.

For regularly scheduled services in patient and non-patient care areas, the healthcare environmental cleaning procedures manual shall illustrate the proposed method of cleaning to include a sampling of three specific task procedures of the offeror’s choosing for Types I, II, IV, and VI only, for accomplishing each specific cleaning task and the frequency at which each specific task will be accomplished. For non-recurring services, (e.g., floor stripping, waxing, and sealing, carpet shampooing, wall and ceiling cleaning, light fixture cleaning, exterior window cleaning, interior HVAC diffuser cleaning, blind cleaning, or snow/ice removal) the healthcare environmental cleaning procedures manual shall clearly illustrate a sampling of specific cleaning procedures which will be used to accomplish each task and the projected frequency or standard at which each specific task will be accomplished. The AHE guide shall be used as a guide only in developing the offeror’s Healthcare Environmental Cleaning Procedures Manual; however, the guide shall not be plagiarized.

(2) Supplement C-2, Staffing Chart. In Attachment 4, Staffing Chart, the offeror shall submit a staffing chart that demonstrates the offeror’s compliance and understanding of the solicitation. The staffing chart shall address each type of healthcare environmental cleaning services (Types I – VI, RMW, etc.) required by building (see Exhibit C

c. Volume III, Factor 2 – Past Performance. Offerors shall submit one virus-free, unsanitized file.

(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 within the previous 36 months (from the date established for submission of proposals) in a medical facility similar in size to or larger than BACH performing services similar in scope and complexity to those specified in 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 the prime contractor 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 submit their monthly unit prices in whole numbers only (e.g., “$158.00”). All dollar amounts provided in response to these instructions shall be stated in United States (U.S.) currency. Failure to submit prices in whole numbers for all healthcare environmental services shall render the proposal ineligible for award.

(4) The offeror shall verify the accuracy of its price entered in Attachment 3, Price Matrix.

The offeror may submit with their price proposal a written pricing narrative in Microsoft Word format. Failure to submit prices for all healthcare environmental services shall render the proposal ineligible for award.

(a) Deliverables (CLIN 0038). Offerors shall not provide separate pricing for deliverables.

(b) Phase-In (see CLIN 0001). Offerors shall provide a price for a 1-month phase-in requirement, which shall include the outlying MTFs in the HSA of the BACH MTF.

(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.

(7) For pricing purposes, minimum through 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 a stepladder price range structure. The minimum through maximum estimated quantities of square feet to be cleaned are developed from the Government furnished Exhibits C and D. Exhibit D is provided to offerors for INFORMATION 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.

(8) In Attachment 3, Price Matrix, CLINs 0002 – 0034 (stepladder price range structure), the

“MAX CLIN AMOUNT” will be based on the pre-loaded formula calculation of the average weighted unit price multiplied by the maximum quantity square feet 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.

(9) In Attachment 3, Price Matrix, offerors shall propose monthly firm-fixed unit prices

(“Monthly Unit Price”) for each stepladder price range identified in CLINs 0001 – 0037. The monthly firm-fixed unit prices shall be inclusive of all tasks. Offerors shall annotate monthly firm-fixed unit prices that correspond to the stepladder increments for the 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.

(10) In Attachment 3, Price Matrix, CLIN 0035 (RMW Services) and CLIN 0036 (Linen

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.

(11) The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate competition on this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial proposals, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if in the Contracting Officer’s opinion, adequate competition exists, no additional price information will be requested. However, if at any time during this competition the Contracting Officer determines that adequate competition no longer exists or low, offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness of price.

(11) The six-month option to extend services will be determined by taking half of the last 12 months of the ordering period. The offeror shall not propose an amount for the potential six month option to extend services.

E. Discussions

1. General Information. In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(g), the Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the offeror’s initial offers should contain the offeror’s best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary. The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and waive informalities and minor irregularities in offers received.

2. 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.

3. If discussions are to be conducted, the KO will establish a competitive range based on the rating 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 the Government deems that conducting discussions is in its best interest, in the interests of efficient competition the KO may limit discussions to those offerors whose proposal(s) are the most highly rated and/or which the KO determines to be reasonably capable of being corrected without a significant rewrite of the proposal.

4. 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 the KO’s judgment. At a minimum, discussions will consist of the following as defined in AFARS Appendix AA (as applicable): (a) Acceptable; or (b) Unacceptable. 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), which are the KO’s written notification to the offeror for purposes of clarifications, communications, or discussions (see FAR 15.306). All ENs will clearly indicate the type of exchange being conducted (e.g., clarification, communication, or discussion). Any discussion EN addressing a proposal unacceptable will clearly indicate that a need for clarification 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, as outlined at FAR 15.306(d) and (e), the KO will not be required to discuss every area in which a proposal could be improved. All discussions will be documented in writing.

3. Special Instructions.

Regarding FAR 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 Contracting Officer in writing that the required insurance has been obtained.
