(a) The following types of delivery orders may be issued under this contract:

Firm Fixed Price (FFP)

Fixed Price Incentive Firm Target (FPIF)

Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF)

Time and Material (T&M) line items

The determination regarding which type of delivery order to be awarded shall be at the discretion of the Contracting

Officer.

(b) FFP delivery orders may be issued when the scope of effort is sufficiently defined to allow technical and cost risks to be predicted with reasonable certainty. Under this contract type, the Contractor shall be required to submit a firm fixed price proposal for accomplishing the total effort inclusive of all labor, material and travel costs, as appropriate. The contractor shall be required to deliver the specified product within the specified time and FFP amount.

(c) FPIF delivery orders may be issued when the scope of effort is sufficiently defined to allow technical and cost risks to be predicted with reasonable certainty. Under this contract type, the individual delivery orders specifies a target cost, a target profit, a price ceiling (but not a profit ceiling or floor), and a profit adjustment formula. These elements are all negotiated at the outset. The price ceiling is the maximum that may be paid to the contractor, except for any adjustment under other contract clauses. When the contractor completes performance, the parties negotiate the final cost, and the final price is established by applying the formula.

(d) CPFF delivery orders may be issued when the scope of the effort is sufficient to establish an estimate of total cost for the purpose of obligating funds and establishing a ceiling that may not be exceeded without prior approval of the procuring contracting officer. Under this contract type, the individual delivery orders define the scope of work by stating a definite goal or target and a specified end product in which the contractor shall be required to complete and deliver the specified end product within the estimated costs as a condition for payment of the entire fixed fee.

The Contractor shall be required to submit specific milestones for the work defined in each individual delivery/task order on an estimated Not-To-Exceed price based on direct labor hours, G&A, overhead, and negotiated fixed fee in order to establish the Total Cost and Fixed Fee price of the order.

(e) T&M line items may be incorporated into a delivery order when it is not possible at the time of placing the delivery order to estimate accurately the extent or duration of the work or to anticipate costs with any reasonable degree of confidence. Under this contract type, the Contractor shall be required to submit an estimated Not-To-

Exceed price for the line item based on direct labor hours using the appropriate labor rates established in Section B of the delivery order, or as requested by the Contracting Officer. The resulting negotiated estimated amount including material, material-handling fees, if appropriate, and travel costs, as necessary, represents the Total

Estimated Not-To-Exceed Ceiling price of the line item. The ceiling price may not be exceeded unless the

Contracting Officer issues a modification to the delivery order.

C.13 FIXED –PRICE- INCENTIVE (FIRM TARGET) (FPIF) PLAN FOR PRICE REDETERMINATION

The purpose of this (Firm Target) (FPIF) plan is to provide timelines, and procedures for the final cost negotiation and Price Revision required at the completion of FPIF CLIN work.

The Objective of this plan is to ensure all parties have a full understanding of roles, responsibilities, and requirements ending in a successful negotiation for all stakeholders.

Form 250 for each article; the Contractor will compile all incurred costs for FPIF CLIN, in accordance FAR Clause

52.216-16, the Contractor shall submit in the format of Table 15-2, FAR 15.408. No later than 90 days after acceptance, this information should be provided to the Government.

At the end of negotiations, the Government will modify the contract appropriately in keeping with the final negotiated profit, utilizing a bilateral modification to the contract which shall be signed by the contractor and returned within 5 days from receipt. The Government will provide the executed copy to the contractor within 5 days from the date of issuance.

(b) Although the requirement for a clearance above SECRET is not required for the basic contract award, there may be efforts at the delivery order level that will require a clearance above the SECRET level. Access to information at the delivery order level beyond that which is authorized in the DD Form 254 applicable to this ID/IQ contract will result in a separate, delivery order specific DD Form 254 to be issued by the Government.

Additionally, the contractor shall be guided by and safeguard all classified information either generated by or received under the contract in accordance with the DD Form 254, Contract Security Classification Specification, provided as Attachment 2 in Section J.

L.1.3 All proposals must clearly and convincingly demonstrate that the offeror has a thorough understanding of the requirements and associated risks. The offeror is able and willing to devote the resources necessary to meet the requirements and has valid and practical solutions for all requirements. Mere reiteration of the requirement or standard reference material is unacceptable. It is the responsibility of the offeror to present enough information to be meaningfully evaluated by the Government without discussions. In presenting material in this proposal, offerors are advised that quality of information is more important than quantity.

L.1.4 Any data previously submitted in response to another solicitation, whether submitted to the Program

Executive Office for Simulation, Training and Instrumentation (PEO STRI), Army Contracting Command (ACC)

Orlando or another agency, should be assumed to be unavailable during this source selection process. Proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other source.

L.1.5 Elaborate brochures or other presentations beyond that sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal are neither necessary nor desired.

L.1.6 The paper and digital copy quantities are detailed in section L.3.0, Table L-1. If a discrepancy exists between the paper copy of the proposal and the digital (CD/DVD) copy, the digital (CD/DVD) copy will take precedence.

L.1.7 In accordance with FAR Subpart 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisition, the

Government intends to make award without discussions. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions at the sole discretion of the Contracting Officer. The Government will evaluate all proposals in accordance with the solicitation evaluation criteria, and if discussions are to be conducted, establish a competitive range comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals, based upon the ratings of each proposal against all evaluation factors and subfactors. If discussions are held, they will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.306.

After evaluating all proposals in accordance with FAR Subpart 15.305(a), the PCO may also determine that the number of most highly rated proposals that might otherwise be included in the competitive range exceeds the number at which efficient competition can be conducted. Offerors are therefore advised that the PCO, for purposes of efficiency, may also limit the number of competitive range offerors, at their sole discretion.

L.1.8 Files shall not contain classified information.

L.1.9 Offerors shall not make any changes to the solicitation. Any objections to the terms and conditions of the solicitation should be addressed to the PCO prior to submission of the proposal by filling out the Industry

Question/Comment Form (Section J, Attachment 10) provided with this solicitation.

L.1.10 Features or capabilities proposed by the offeror which exceed the requirements of this solicitation will be incorporated into the awardee’s contract award.

L.2.6 All volumes of the paper copy shall be submitted in standard size 3-ring binders that will facilitate the insertion of change pages and additional information provided during the source selection process. A paper copy of

Attachment 6.4 Cost/Price Workbooks shall not be submitted as part of the Hard Copy due to the overall size.

L.2.7 The proposal shall use no smaller than industry standard word processor 12-point proportional font utilizing

Times New Roman or Arial font. If both sides of sheets of paper are used, each sheet will be counted as two pages.

Volumes shall be printed on 8-1/2 x 11-inch paper. Tables or figures may be printed on fold out sheets, which will be counted as one page and shall not exceed 11 x 17 inches. Font size for tables and figures shall be no smaller than

8-point. If proposal volumes/sections exceed the limitations set forth herein, excess text will be removed from the back of that volume/section and not evaluated. Use at least 1-inch margins on the top, bottom, left, and right side margins. Pages shall be numbered sequentially by volume and marked with the offeror’s name and any applicable data use restrictions as specified in FAR Subpart 52.215-1(e).

L.2.8 All information shall be confined to the appropriate volume. Pricing information shall not be included in any volume other than Volume V, Cost / Price. The offeror shall confine submissions to essential matters, sufficient to define the proposal and provide adequate basis for evaluation. Offerors are responsible for including sufficient details, in a concise manner, to permit a complete and accurate evaluation of each proposal. Each volume of the proposal shall consist of a Table of Contents which does not count against the maximum number of pages.

Additionally, Lists of Figures and/or Lists of Tables accompanying the Table of Contents as well as Lists of
