PWS requirement for the purposes of the source selection evaluation, the awardee/Contractor will be required to comply with all PWS requirements during performance of the contract.

L.2 PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

L.2.1 Failure to submit in the correct format is grounds for non-compliance determination, at the sole discretion of the PCO.

L.2.2 It is the sole responsibility of the Offeror to ensure that the electronic files submitted are virus free and can be opened and read by the Government. Proposal submissions shall not be locked, encrypted, or otherwise contain barriers to opening. All files shall be clearly identified with a filename appropriate to the content (e.g., Volume- I_Technical_Appendix-A). Use separate files to permit rapid location of all portions, including exhibits, annexes, and attachments, if any. If files are compressed, the necessary decompression program must be included.

When submitting their proposal, Offerors shall follow these instructions.

L.2.3 File Packaging. All of the proposal files shall be separate documents in their native format; i.e. xls, doc, ppt.

An Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) version of all Microsoft Word documents shall also be included as a copy. All price breakdown information to aid in the cost/price evaluation shall be submitted in Microsoft Office Excel Read/Write format and viewable in Microsoft Excel 2013. Please note – Self extracting .exe files are not acceptable. PDF documents shall use Adobe Acrobat 9.0 or later. Do NOT submit main documents in the PDF “image.” Teaming Agreements or Letters of Commitment may be in the image format.

L.2.4 All proposal files shall be verified to be free of any virus or malware.

L.2.5 All submitted files (MS Office and PDF) shall be created with textual search and copy functions enabled. Non-searchable signature pages are acceptable, but other submitted materials that are not searchable may not be evaluated, and the Offeror may be determined non-compliant, at the sole discretion of the PCO.

L.2.6 The following volumes of material shall be submitted:

Volume/Factor/Title Page Limit Vol. I – Factor 1 Technical 75 Vol. II –Factor 2 Past Performance Unlimited Vol. III – Factor 3 Small Business Participation Unlimited Vol. IV – Factor 4 Cost/Price Unlimited Vol. V – Contracting Information Unlimited

Note: Pages that exceed the required page limitations will not be evaluated. Additional pages over the maximum allowed will be removed or not read and will not be evaluated by the Government. Documents submitted in their native format will be the control document and take precedence over PDF copies (e.g. difference in page count and/or content).

L.2.7 Acronym lists, cover pages, resumes, title pages, table of contents, cross reference matrices, dividers, index tabs, and lists of tables or figures will not be counted as part of the page count, so long as they are inserted solely for the purpose of reading ease and locating sections of the proposal. Pages marked: "This page is intentionally left blank" will not be counted nor evaluated. Additionally, teaming agreements, letters of commitment, the listing of known materials and ODCs, attached to their respective volume, will not be counted as part of the page count.

L.2.8 Points of Contact:

Contract Specialist Branch Chief / Procuring Contracting Officer

Thomas Halverson Army Contracting Command-Orlando 12211 Science Drive Orlando, FL 32826-3276 Telephone number: 407-208-5654 E-mail: thomas.l.halverson.civ@mail.mil

Jason Jerome Army Contracting Command-Orlando 12211 Science Drive Orlando, FL 32826-3276 Telephone number: 407-208-5868 E-mail: jason.jerome3.civ@mail.mil

L.2.9 Beneficial features offered beyond the requirements of this solicitation will be incorporated into the awardee’s contract. The Offeror will be expected to perform based on the entire proposed approach, including any over-and above features and/or merits contained within its proposal.

L.2.10 All questions/comments pertaining to this solicitation and its attachments shall be submitted in writing via e-mail to the contracting personnel listed above within 7 calendar days after the RFP issue date. Late questions may be answered at the Government’s discretion. The Government will answer questions via BetaSam.Gov Website (https://beta.sam.gov/). Changes in the solicitation as a result of the questions will result in the issuance of a solicitation amendment prior to the deadline for final proposal submissions. The Government requires that the proposal, in its entirety, be valid for at least one hundred and eighty (180) calendar days. The Offeror shall insert the validity date in Block 12 of the SF33.

L.2.11 Information previously submitted to the Government should be assumed unavailable during this proposal evaluation and source selection process. Proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal volume or other source (i.e., Volume I making reference to Volume II). For Volume I – Factor 1 – Technical, the Offerors may refer to another element within the Factor itself. Proposals submitted will not be returned. Alternate proposals will not be evaluated or accepted.

L.2.12 Pursuant to FAR Subpart 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition, the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at the sole discretion of the PCO if it is later determined to be in the best interest of the Government. If discussions are to be conducted, a competitive range will be established and be comprised of only the most highly rated proposals, based upon the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation factors and elements of this solicitation. The decision to establish a competitive range will be made at the sole discretion of the PCO. If the Government proceeds with exchanges with Offerors after the establishment of a competitive range, the PCO will schedule the discussion sessions, and notify each Offeror within the competitive range and provide additional instructions.

L.2.13 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. At the end of discussions (if conducted), the Government will request Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) from all Offerors still within the competitive range.

All or part of the successful offeror's technical proposal may be incorporated in the contract resulting from this solicitation into Section J. Nothing contained in the successful offeror's technical proposal shall constitute a waiver to any other requirement of the contract. In the event of any conflict between the successful offeror's technical proposal and any other requirement of the contract, the conflict shall be resolved in accordance with FAR 52.215-8 Order of Precedence.

If, after contract award, it is discovered that changes made during discussions were not incorporated in the PWS and/or technical proposal, such changes to the PWS and/or technical proposal shall be considered administrative in nature and shall be made by unilateral modification to the contract, at no change in contract cost or price or other terms and conditions.

L.2.14 Clarifications are not discussions. Offerors may be given the opportunity to clarify certain aspects of the proposal or resolve minor or clerical errors (see FAR 15.306(a)(1) and (2)). Clarifications shall be documented on, and conducted via transmittal of, Evaluation Notices (EN) to the applicable Offeror.

L.2.15 Any proprietary information submitted separately for major subcontractors shall be furnished in the same format, level of detail, and submission due date as prescribed for the prime Offeror. Major subcontractors are defined as those subcontractors who will be providing critical services or whose subcontract is expected to exceed ten (10) percent of the total proposed contract price. Subcontractor proposals submitted separately are considered part of the Offeror’s proposal, including the page count. All subcontractor proposals submitted separately must identify the prime contractor and be clearly marked IAW L.2 and L.3. If subcontractor proposals are late or not in accordance with the other submission requirements, the entire proposal may be considered non-compliant.

L.2.16 Anticipated Award: The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value after evaluation in accordance with Section M of this solicitation. The Government anticipates that the award will be made in the 3rd quarter of the FY 2021. This information is provided for use as a basis for schedules and burden (labor, overhead, etc.) calculations.

L.3 PROPOSAL FILES

L.3.1 Format. The submission shall be clearly indexed and logically assembled, including the attached Cross- Reference Matrix within Volume I – Factor 1 – Technical proposal. A Cross-Reference Matrix is not required for any other Volume; however, Offerors may submit their own Cross-Reference Matrix for Volume II, III, and/or IV.

A Table of Contents should be created to delineate the paragraphs and subparagraphs within that volume. As annotated above, each Volume’s Cross-Reference Matrix and Table of Contents does not count against that Volume’s respective page limitations. Tab indexing shall be used to identify sections. Standard proposal text format shall be 12 point Arial or Times New Roman font.

All pages of each volume shall be appropriately numbered (X of Y) and shall contain the company name, date and solicitation number in the header and/or footer. Pages shall be numbered sequentially within each volume. All pages shall be marked: “SOURCE SELECTION INFORMATION -- SEE FAR 2.101 AND 3.104” in the footer.

Additional data use restrictions shall be located in the header/footer area of each page where applicable. The signed Standard Form (SF) 33, each SF30 – as applicable – and Section K – Certifications and Representations may be submitted in Adobe.pdf file format. Microsoft Word and PDF files shall use the following page setup parameters:

Margins – Top, Bottom, Left, Right – no less than 1” Gutter – 0” From Edge – Header, Footer 0.5” Page Size, Width – 8.5” Page Size, Height – 11” Page Orientation – Portrait or Landscape

Legible tables, graphs and figures shall be used wherever practical to depict organizations, systems and layout, implementation schedules, plans, and alike. These displays shall be uncomplicated, legible and can utilize an alternate paper size of 11x17, if necessary. For page-count purposes, each side of an 11x17 page with content will count as two pages. Font size for tables, graphs and figures shall be no smaller than 8-point Times New Roman or Arial font.

Format requirements provided in this section do not apply to Government provided documents, such as: Standard Forms, Section K, DD254 (Department of Defense Contract Security Classification Specification), Pricing, et cetera.

Additionally, attachments to the Offeror’s proposal, such as: Teaming agreements, verification documents for Vol. I, et cetera, are not required to be compliant with the format requirements.

L.3.2 Cross-Reference Matrix –The intent of the Cross-Reference Matrix (Attachment 07) is to ensure that all requirements for Volume I – Technical Factor 1 are addressed and easily accessible to evaluators. The Cross- Reference Matrix must provide a single integrated index for the corresponding proposal Volume/Factor. The Cross-

Reference Matrix is to assist evaluators during the evaluation; however, the Cross-Reference Matrix will not be evaluated.

L.3.3 Compliancy Screening. The proposal volumes will be evaluated in accordance with the Instruction to Offerors and Evaluation Criteria provided in Section L and M, respectively. Failure of an Offeror to provide all requested proposal information may render the Offeror's proposal non-compliant, and as such, the Offeror's proposal will not be evaluated, at the sole discretion of the PCO. If determined to be non-compliant, the PCO will notify the Offeror as soon as practicable.

L.3.4 All information shall be confined to the appropriate file. The Offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. The Offerors shall ensure that each proposal volume submitted contains only the information relevant to that specific volume. The Offerors are cautioned that each volume of the proposal is evaluated standalone against the criteria set forth in Section M and the evaluators for one volume may be different than the evaluators of another volume. It is incumbent upon the Offerors to ensure they properly submit their proposals. If the data is not contained in the appropriate volume of the proposal, it will not be evaluated. For example, if Technical information is submitted under the Price Volume rather than the volume specified, the proposal will be evaluated as if the information was not submitted at all.

L.4 Volume I – Factor 1 Technical Approach

L.4.1 The offeror shall provide its technical approach to satisfy the requirements listed in PWS sections 3.2 through

3.11. The Technical Approach shall include the following:

L.4.1.1 Provide an Organizational chart for all personnel required to execute the entire PWS. The Organizational chart must identify the structure, qualifications, and certifications for each proposed position to include if the proposed position is exempt or not exempt to the Service Contract Labor Standards. Organizational charts may reference a specific location in the Volume I – Factor 1 Technical. Organizational Charts are not included in the page count. Contractors are encouraged to label the Organizational Charts similar to the PWS sections.

L.4.1.2 Identification of all subcontractors, teaming partners, committed distributers and joint ventures. Teaming Agreements, Letters of Commitment, Resumes, Distribution agreements and other legal agreements are required for team members identified. A group of potential subcontractors or vendors can be utilized but an agreement or verifiable proof of an agreement must be submitted. Identify what services or percentage of a service each subcontractor will perform. All partners will be identified as a large or small business in conjunction with the contractor determined North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code.

L.4.1.3 Identify labor categories for each position (ensure consistency with the categories proposed in Volume IV, Cost/Price - do NOT include pricing in Volume I). Discuss back-up rationale and provide calculations showing the staffing build-up that clearly identifies the methodology used to arrive at the labor categories designated for each service category listed in the PWS section 3.2 through 3.11.

L.4.1.4 Provide how the offeror Technical Approach accommodates fluctuating workloads, specifically the ability to surge amount of employees to meet training requirements. Include a discussion of the factors considered in determining your proposed approach.

L.4.1.5 Provide a rationale that supports the benefits of the offeror’s employee recruitment, retention, and development programs. The rationale should focus on maintaining a stable, trained, and flexible workforce.

L.5. Volume II - Factor 2 Past Performance Note: This volume shall not contain any reference to cost or price aspects of the offer.

L.5.1 Past Performance General Instructions

a. Identified Past Performance Contracts: The Offeror shall identify up to three (3) of the Offeror’s most relevant contracts, and up to three (3) of the most relevant contracts for each major subcontractor.

If an offeror proposes the resources of a corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate the offeror will not receive past performance credit of the proposed corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate unless the offeror’s proposal demonstrates how the resources of the corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate – its workforce, management, facilities or other resources – will in fact be provided for meaningful involvement in contract performance. Merely stating that the offeror has access to the resources of a corporate parent, division, subsidiary, or affiliate is insufficient and will not be considered relevant to the past performance evaluation.

Any identified contract must contain performance within three (3) years of this proposal submission date as specified in Block 9 of Standard Form 33 of the RFP (any active portion of performance within three years) to be considered relevant. Identified contracts without performance within this specified period will not be considered by the Government. Offerors shall not identify an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract without referencing the appropriate orders containing the effort similar in nature to this requirement. For purposes of this effort, identified orders will be considered standalone contracts and the Offeror is advised, with regard to this effort, to choose the most relevant specific orders only. Commercial contracts may be included. List the identified contracts or orders from the most relevant to the least relevant. In general, recent performance will be considered more relevant than older performance.

b. Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) - For contracts or orders that have CPARS reports that are more than six months old, e.g., the date the Assessing Official completed the assessment is more than six months before the due date for this Past Performance Volume, or contracts or orders identified which do not have CPARS Reports, the Offeror will forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 04) to that contract customer’s Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO), Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO), Program Manager or Point of Contact. All questionnaires shall be forwarded in a timely manner after the RFP release date to ensure sufficient lead-time so that responses can be received by the Government concurrent or prior to the Government's receipt of the Offeror's proposal. The Offeror shall include instructions for the customers to send completed questionnaires prior to the RFP closing date and time via e-mail to thomas.l.halverson.civ@mail.mil, while allowing the customer adequate lead time to complete their response. The Offeror shall conduct follow-up actions with regard to this questionnaire to ensure that the customers have received and will respond to the questionnaires. The Government may send any other questionnaires as necessary. The Offeror shall provide written consent from their major subcontractors that will allow the Government to coordinate their Past Performance issue(s) with the Offeror. If the Offeror does not submit such written consent, then the Government will address any past performance issues directly with the major subcontractor and the Offeror will forfeit the opportunity to participate in any related discussions. Consequently, for any major subcontractors that do not provide such written consent, provide a point of contact (name, address, phone number, and email address) with which the Government may coordinate these issues and obtain any responses as needed.

L.6 Volume III –Factor 3 Small Business Participation

The Offeror shall prepare and submit a standalone Small Business Participation Volume in accordance with the following criteria:

L.6.1. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document, required from both Small and Large Business Offerors, shall be completely stand-alone, and not require any reference to another source, volume, or proposal. The information provided should assume that no cross-reference will be checked, and that all claims, approaches, and statements must be clearly articulated in their entirety within the proposal volume being submitted. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document will be incorporated by attachment into any resulting contract award.

All Offerors, both large and small businesses, are required to submit a Small Business Participation Commitment Document that clearly demonstrates a viable plan for meeting or exceeding the small business participation requirement of no less than 15% of the Total Contract Value. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document shall delineate each 12-month performance period during the BASE PERIOD, and each OPTION. The Small Business Participation Commitment Document shall contain representation from small business, small disadvantaged business (SDB), veteran-owned small business (VOSB), service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB), woman-owned small business (WOSB), or Historically Underutilized Business Zone small business (HUBZone). For example, if the total funded amount within a 12-month performance period is $1,000,000.00, the contractor should satisfy the 15% Small Business Participation requirement of at least $150,000.00 over this 12-month performance period. A small business Offeror can meet the Small Business Participation requirement through performance as a small business, or a combination of performance and small business subcontracting.

Offerors shall submit a single Small Business Participation Commitment Document in accordance with DFARS

215.304. The commitment document shall include the following:

a. Type of Business of prime contractor (Check all applicable boxes):

{ } Large (Other Than Small) { } Small (also check type of small business below):

{ } Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) { } Veteran-Owned Small Business (VOSB) { } Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) { } Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) { } Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone)

b. Total Evaluated Price: $_____________

c. Dollar Value performed by Offeror as Prime Contractor: $_____________

d. Dollar Value and Percentage of Total Contract Value awarded to both large and small businesses. All percentages should use Total Contract Value as a baseline. Include only first tier subcontractors. Fill in all applicable sections of the table below.

Dollar Value Percentage of Total Contract Value Large: $ % Small (*See Note 1): $ % Total: $ 100% (*See Note 2)

*NOTE 1: Small includes: Small Business, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB), Veteran-Owned Small

Business (VOSB), Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB), Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB), and Historically Underutilized Business Zone Small Business (HUBZone). Only include once regardless if represented in multiple groups.

*NOTE 2: Include the Prime Offeror’s dollars and percentage(s). When combined, Large and Small Business totals must equal 100% of the Total Contract Value.

e. The Offeror shall populate the tables below to identify all anticipated prime Offeror and subcontracted supplies/services. When combined, prime Offeror and anticipated subcontracted totals must equal 100% of the Total Contract Value. The sum of the Estimated Total Dollars for Each Service/Supply for the stated small business subcontractors should ultimately lead to achieving the Small Business Participation requirement of no less than 15% for each 12-month performance period during the BASE PERIOD, and each OPTION. The Offeror shall create as many rows and tables as necessary to adequately identify all first tier subcontractors for each 12-month performance period during the BASE PERIOD, and each OPTION.

Pursuant to Section 8(d) of the Small Business Act, a subcontractor is considered a “small business” if it does not exceed the size standard for the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code that the prime Offeror determines for the services or supplies being acquired by the subcontract. It should be noted that the NAICS code determined for the subcontract may or may not be the same NAICS code as the one for prime Offeror’s contract with the Government.

The prime Offeror shall provide written representation (signed letter/memorandum) of the size status as a “small business” for each first tier subcontractor listed as a small business in the tables below; the written representation shall be provided as part of the prime Offeror’s Small Business Participation Volume, and include the following: (1) a statement showing the NAICS code determined by the prime Offeror for the services or supplied being acquired by the subcontract, and confirming the subcontractor does not exceed the size standard for the NAICS code; (2) a statement confirming that this certification is current, accurate, and complete; (3) full company name, mailing address, and DUNS or CAGE code; (4) dated and signed by senior company representative. In lieu of the written representation, the prime Offeror may instead provide the subcontractor’s System for Award Management (SAM) profile, with FAR 52.219-1 (Small Business Program Representations) expanded to display the full text of the clause, if the SAM profile includes the NAICS code determined by the prime Offeror for the services or supplied being acquired by the subcontract; and the subcontractor represents to the prime Offeror that the SAM profile is current, accurate and complete.
