It is requested that all questions pertaining to this solicitation and its attachments are submitted via e-mail to usarmy.orlando.peo-stri.mbx.atmp@mail.mil. Offerors are requested to submit responses on the ATMP Clarification Form found in Section J. This will allow the contracting office to track and document all industry comments/questions.

If the Government deems one or more Question/Comment is appropriate, the answer(s)/response(s) will be published through the issuance of an update and/or amendment to the solicitation announcement prior to the deadline for final proposal submissions provided those Questions/Comments are received by 5:00 PM, Eastern Standard Time (EST) on 23 November 2016. Questions and Comments received after the deadline may not be answered prior to proposal submission or at all. Accordingly, Offerors are encouraged to carefully review all solicitation requirements and submit questions to the Government early in the proposal preparation cycle.

L.1.2 Anticipated Award: The Government anticipates that the award will be made in the 1st quarter of the FY 2018. This information is provided for use as a basis for schedules and burden (labor, overhead, etc.) calculations.

L.1.3 General Information: Pursuant to FAR Subpart 52.215-1 (Alt 1), the Government intends to award this contract to a single awardee after conducting discussions with Offerors whose proposals have been determined to be within the competitive range. The competitive range for this procurement is established to be those Offerors whose proposal submission initially appears complete and includes information required by Section L of this Solicitation. Therefore, it is anticipated that discussions will be conducted soon after proposal receipt and the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint.

Exchanges with Offerors after the establishment of a competitive range determination will be made in writing. At the end of discussions, the Government will request Final Proposal Revisions (FPRs) from all Offerors still within the competitive range.

Prior to the conclusion of discussions, Offerors will be requested to submit change pages that reflect any offered performance that exceeds the Government's minimum requirements defined in the solicitation (including specifications and other attachments). In the event that the Offeror's proposal is selected for award, the changes addressed within these change pages (if consistent with the Offeror's final proposal revision) will be incorporated into the contract document awarded. Any inconsistencies between the final proposal revision submitted and the change pages submitted may result in the assignment of a weakness, significant weakness, or deficiency.

L.1.4 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.

L.1.5 Offerors shall assume that any data they have previously submitted in response to another solicitation, whether submitted to the ACC-ORL or another agency, will be unavailable during this proposal evaluation and source selection process. Offerors’ proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other source.

L.1.6 For the Technical and Management evaluation factors, Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience; the Government will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal. In presenting material in its proposal, Offerors are advised that quality information is more important than quantity. Statements that the prospective offeror understands, can or will comply with the PWS, and statements paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof are unacceptable. Elaborate brochures or other presentations, and other documents beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are neither necessary nor desired.

L.1.7 The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated assertions. The proposal shall be specific, detailed and complete as to clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks, and is able, willing, and competent to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements.

L.1.8 The Government requests that the proposal be valid for at least 360 calendar days from the proposal due date. Files shall not contain classified information. Offerors are cautioned that in order for their proposal to be eligible for award, the proposal shall be in compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in this solicitation.

Any objection, exception, contingency, or addition shall be cross-referenced to the applicable solicitation paragraph(s).

As part of this letter, an authorized official shall sign certifying the following:

(3) Joint Venture/Teaming or Major Subcontracting Arrangements.

The Offeror shall submit contact information (name, telephone number and email address) for their cognizant Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) and cognizant Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA) supervisory auditor. If the Offeror is not assigned to DCMA for contract administration or is not assigned to DCAA for contract audit, the Offeror will identify their cognizant federal agency or agencies (and include the individual contact information). If any of the Offeror's business systems were disapproved or deemed to be not adequate, the Offeror will identify all deficiencies along with steps taken, or to be taken, to correct the deficiencies and a timeline to include audit by the cognizant audit agency after corrective action(s) have been implemented. If any of the Offeror's business systems have never been audited by their cognizant federal audit agency, the Offeror shall so state.

L.7.0 FACTOR 3 SMALL BUSINESS PARTICIPATION PLAN (VOLUME IV)

The Small Business Participation Plan shall stand on its own merit without reference to the separate Small Business Subcontracting Plan that is required for large businesses (to be submitted with Volume I).

All Offerors, both small and large businesses, are required to submit a Small Business Participation Plan that clearly demonstrates a viable plan for meeting or exceeding the Small Business Participation goal of no less than 20% of the IDIQ $3.53B total contract value (cumulative of all TOs) in the 12 month base period and each of the six 12 month options with representation from small business (SB), small disadvantaged business (SDB), service disabled veteran owned small business (SDVOSB), woman owned small business (WOSB) and Historically Underutilized Business Zone small business (HUBZones). For example, a task order award funded in the amount of $1,000,000 would have a small business participation goal of at least $200,000. Small business offerors can meet the small business participation goal through performance as a prime small business, or a combination of performance and small business subcontracting.

Offerors shall submit Small Business Participation Plan information in accordance with DFARS 215.304. The Plan shall include the following:

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

b. Total Contract Value: $3.53B

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

d. Dollar Value and Percentage of Total Contract Value awarded to both large and small business. All percentages should use TOTAL CONTRACT VALUE as a baseline. Include only first tier U.S. subcontractors.

Note 1: Small includes: Small Business (SB), Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) (including HBCU/MI), Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Historically Underutilized Business Zones (HUBZones) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB). Only include once regardless if represented in multiple groups.

Note 2: Include the prime offeror’s dollars and percentage. When combined, large and small business totals must equal 100% of Total Contract Value.

e. List supplies/services (be specific) to be subcontracted to that will ultimately lead to achieving the Small Business Participation goal of no less than 20%:

Prime Offeror:

N/A

Large:

Small:

Army Depots:

A short description of the specific services to be provided or components to be produced and the nature of complexity by each Small Business; rationale supporting Small Business selection(s); and the estimated total dollars for each product or service shall also be provided. Complexity is defined as the level of involvement for development/performance of components/services provided by the Small Business Concerns. Provide explanation of system for competing /identifying areas for small businesses, explain the process for selecting small businesses to subcontract work, and how the process will be used on this contract to meet the offeror’s small business participation goal in the 12 month base period and each of the six 12 month options.
