PROPOSAL SUBMISSION

L.1 INTRODUCTION.

Proposals for the Basic ID/IQ, Task Order 0001, and Task Order 0002 shall comply with the requirements of the RFP and instructions contained within this section. Proposal submissions for the Basic ID/IQ, TO 0001, and TO 0002 will be evaluated for consistencies to ensure the Offeror’s understanding of the entire OneSAF requirement.

L.1.1 Electronic submission: Volumes I through V of the Offeror’s proposal are due electronically via compact disc/digital video disc (CD/DVD) no later than (NLT) 1:00 PM Eastern Standard Time (EST) on date 12 January 2018 to the point of contacts (POC) listed in paragraphs L.1.4 below. See Table L-1 for additional details pertaining to proposal submission. The Offeror’s proposal shall be submitted with one (1) original digital copy and two (2) digital copies which shall consist of five (5) Volumes.

L.1.2 Offerors are hereby on notice that a failure to submit all the required documentation in exactly the manner (timeliness and format) specified in the solicitation may constitute a basis for the Government to reject a proposal as non-compliant and therefore unacceptable (ineligible to receive award), at the sole discretion of the contracting officer.

L.1.3 Award Date: The anticipated award date for this requirement is the first quarter of the Government’s fiscal year 2019. This information is provided for use as a basis for schedules and burden (labor, overheads, G&A, etc.) mid-point calculations. The Contractor is not entitled to an equitable adjustment in contract price in the event the Government awards the task order before or after the date above.

L.1.4 Point of Contact (POC) The primary POC for this effort is Contract Specialist Mr. David Hagler.

L.1.5. All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate the Offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks, and is able, willing, and competent to devote and maintain the resources necessary to meet the requirements and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements. Statements that the prospective Offeror understands, can or will comply with the specifications, and statements paraphrasing the requirements or parts thereof are considered inadequate and unsatisfactory. Mere reiteration of the requirement or standard reference material is discouraged and may be considered inadequate and unsatisfactory.

The Offeror must include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. In presenting material in proposals, Offerors are advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. Offerors are encouraged to use quantitative terms wherever possible and avoid the use of qualitative and subjective terms to the maximum extent practicable. Offerors are cautioned that while the

Government will not evaluate every PWS requirement for the purposes of the source selection evaluation, the awardee/Contractor will be required to comply with all PWS requirements during task order performance. The proposal shall reference the related paragraphs of the PWS (e.g. 3.1.2) and provide the detail necessary to substantiate the proposed approach and methodology for performance. The Government will determine that an Offeror's proposal is non-compliant, and therefore ineligible for award, if the proposal indicates that: it cannot or will not meet any of the PWS requirements; provides an approach that clearly does not meet any of the PWS requirements; or, includes data which prompts the Government to question the Offeror's compliance with any of the PWS requirements. The Source Selection Authority may reject all proposals received in response to a solicitation, if doing so is in the best interest of the Government.

L.1.6. Any data previously submitted in response to another solicitation, whether submitted to the ACC-Orlando Contracting Center or another agency should be assumed to be unavailable during this proposal evaluation and source selection process. Proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other source. Proposals submitted will not be returned. Alternate proposals will not be evaluated or accepted.

L.1.7. 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 Past Performance narratives are submitted under the Price Volume rather than the Volume specified, the proposal will be evaluated as if no Past Performance narratives were submitted at all. No cost information shall be included in the Technical or Program Management Volumes of the offerors proposal.

L.1.8. The proposal shall be valid for not less than 300 calendar days from the proposal due date.

L.1.9. In accordance with FAR 52.215-1(f)(4) the Government intends to make award without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to request additional information (for purposes of clarification only) after receipt of Offeror’s response to the solicitation. However, the Government reserves the right to enter into discussions if necessary, at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Government will evaluate all proposals in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.305(a), and the Department of Defense (DoD) Source Selection Procedures, dated 31 March 2016 and Army Source Selection Supplement (AS3), dated 21 December 2012. If discussions are determined to be necessary, a competitive range will be established and be comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals, based upon the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation factors and sub-factors of this solicitation. The decision to establish a competitive range will be made at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer.

L.1.10. Proposals shall not contain CLASSIFIED information.

L.1.11. Security Clearance Requirements: Contractor employees working under the resultant contract must have a Secret Security Clearance issued by the U.S. Government.

L.1.12. Questions regarding this solicitation shall be submitted in writing to the

Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer, via email to the POCs identified in Section L.1.4., within 15 calendar days after the RFP is published with the solicitation number in the subject line. Offerors shall submit questions using RFP Section L, Attachment L1, Solicitation Question/Comment form. No phone inquiries regarding the RFP will be received or acknowledged. Offerors will receive an acknowledgement of their question via response to the email submission. If the Government deems the question appropriate, the answer will be published through the issuance of a solicitation amendment prior to the deadline for final proposal Submissions. If an Offeror perceives the questions may reveal proprietary or protected information they must clearly mark the subject sentence or paragraphs and notify the Government that they consider the information proprietary (if the Government does not agree the information is proprietary the Government may choose not to answer the question).

Questions received after the above referenced deadline may not be answered prior to proposal submission or at all. The Government does not anticipate that the closing date for receipt of offers will be extended however, the contracting officer reserves the right to do so. The Government will post the non-proprietary answers, without Offeror identification, to the FedBizOpps website located at https://www.fbo.gov.

L.1.13. Solicitation Exceptions/Deviations - The proposal should identify any unique or innovative approaches which ensure successful performance. The Source Selection Authority may reject all proposals received in response to a solicitation, if doing so is in the best interest of the Government. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Proprietary information shall be clearly marked

L.1.14. If the Procuring Contracting Officer (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.
