SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

SECTION L

PROPOSAL SUBMISSION (Section L).

1. PROPOSAL SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS

L1. Introduction. This section provides general guidance for preparing proposals as well as specific instructions on the format and content of the proposal. The Offeror’s proposal must include all data and information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. The Offeror shall not submit additional proposal information that is not specifically requested by this Solicitation.

Such additional proposal information will not be considered during the evaluation process. The Offeror’s proposal shall be compliant with these submission instructions (Section L). Non-conformance with the instructions provided may result in an Offeror being found non-responsive and may result in an unfavorable proposal evaluation.

Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience. The Government will base its evaluation only on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal. The Government will not assume the Offerors will do anything that is not expressly stated in their proposal.

In presenting material in their proposal, Offerors are advised that quality of information is more important than quantity. The proposal shall be clear, concise, and shall include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated assertions. Elaborate brochures or presentations, binding, detailed art work and other documents beyond what is sufficient to present a complete and effective proposal, are unnecessary and are not desired. 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.

The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather, shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the WTCS V2 requirements. Paraphrasing the SOW, the Specifications, or parts thereof is inadequate, as are phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well-known techniques will be used.” Mere reiteration of the requirement or standard reference material is discouraged and may be considered inadequate and non-compliant. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to present enough information to be meaningfully evaluated without discussions.

The Offeror must include any data necessary to illustrate the adequacy of the various assumptions, approaches, and solutions to problems. 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 SOW requirement for the purposes of the source selection evaluation, the awardee/Contractor will be required to comply with all SOW requirements during performance of the contract.

The Government may 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 SOW requirements; provides an approach that clearly does not meet any of the SOW requirements; or, includes data which prompts the Government to question the Offeror’s compliance with any of the SOW 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.

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 BE DEEMED UNACCEPTABLE, AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF

THE PCO.

L.2.2 Anticipated Award: The Government anticipates that the award will be made in the 3QFY20. This information is provided for use as a basis for schedules and burden (labor, overhead, etc.) calculations.

L.2.3 The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without conducting discussions with Offerors. However, in the event the PCO concludes that conducting discussions is in the best interests of the Government, the PCO will establish a competitive range before entering into discussions. Therefore, the Offeror’s initial proposal should contain the Offeror’s best terms from a price and non-price standpoint.

L.2.4 The Government intends on awarding a single source Indefinite Delivery / Indefinite Quantity (ID/IQ) Contract not to exceed $49M with a period of performance of five years consisting of Delivery Order 1 with a 12 month period and subsequent delivery orders to follow over the period of performance of the contract, resulting from this solicitation to the responsible Offeror whose proposal represents the best value to the Government in accordance with established criteria in Section M or equivalent solicitation criteria. The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code is 333 – Machinery Manufacturing/333318, Other Commercial and Service Industry Machinery Manufacturing, small business size standard 1000. The Government will utilize the subjective trade-off analysis in determining the best value.

L.2.5 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 stand-alone against the criteria set forth in the Proposal Submission Instructions and Evaluation Criteria and if the data is not contained in the appropriate volume of the proposal, it will not be evaluated.

L.2.6 Offerors shall assume that any data previously submitted in response to another solicitation, whether submitted to the Army Contracting Command – Orlando (ACC-ORL) or another agency, will not be available during this proposal evaluation and source selection process. Offerors’ previously submitted proposal data shall not be incorporated into the proposal by referring to another proposal or other source.

L.2.7 Features or capabilities proposed by the Offeror which exceeds the requirements of this solicitation will be incorporated into the awardee’s contract award.

L.2.8 The Government requests that the proposal be valid for at least 180 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.

L.2.9 If an Offeror believes that the requirements and/or instructions in the RFP contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer in writing (email is acceptable) with supporting rationale.

L.2.10 Assertions should be made for technical or computer software to be furnished with restrictions. Offerors must complete the assertion list requirements of DFARS provision 252.227-7017.

L.2.11 Proposals shall not contain classified information and Proprietary information shall be clearly marked.

L.2.12 The Government may issue one or more Solicitation amendment(s) prior to the deadline for final proposal submissions based upon the questions received.

However, the Government does not anticipate that the closing date for receipt of offers will be extended. Offerors are encouraged to carefully review all Solicitation requirements and submit questions to the Government early in the proposal preparation cycle.

Subcontracting Reporting System or SF 295, Summary Subcontract Report if the Offeror has a Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plan. If submitting SF 295 as a result of a Comprehensive Small Business Subcontracting Plan, provide actual achievements that correlate with the past three calendar years under the three separate relevant contracts identified. Large Businesses that have never held a contract incorporating 52.219-9 shall so state.

Offerors consisting of a joint venture (JV) that do not have three past relevant contracts can satisfy the above requirements by submitting the information of that of the managing partner of the joint venture. Offerors shall provide evidence of a corporate guarantee if one has been developed as part of the JV.

L.4.4 VOLUME IV: Factor 4 – Past Performance

L.4.4.1 The Offeror shall provide descriptions for at least two recent projects (and no more than four projects). Recent is defined as a contract that is ongoing or has been completed within the past three (3) years from the solicitation issuance date.

Relevant efforts are defined as software concurrency upgrades and software integration projects. The Offeror may include projects from predecessor companies, proposed WTCS V2 key personnel, and/or subcontractors. If an Offeror (or predecessor companies, proposed WTCS V2 key personnel, and/or subcontractors) does not have current or past relevant performance, the Offeror shall so state. Along with each project description, the Offeror shall provide a brief description of what role the key personnel and/or subcontractor referenced will play as it relates to WTCS V2 (no need for brief description if project description is relating to the WTCS V2 prime Offeror).

L.4.4.2 All past performance submitted in response to this solicitation shall have been performed as a prime contractor, subcontractor, or JV partner.

“Prime” contractor means the contractor has privity-of-contract with the Government or with the owner of a project or job, and has the full responsibility for its completion. The prime is responsible for all contractual obligations under a mutually binding legal relationship. When the Government awards a contract to a contractor, the contractor is considered the “prime” contractor. For example, “prime” contractors are identified as such on the cover page of contracts or task orders such as:

SF 1449 – Solicitation/Contract/Order for Commercial Items – (Block 17a identifies the prime contractor)

SF 26 – Award/Contract – (Block 7 identifies the prime contractor) SF 33 – Solicitation, Offer, and Award – (Block 15A identifies the prime contractor) Department of Defense (DD) Form 1155 – Order for Supplies or

Services (Block 9 identifies the prime contractor)

Optional Form 307 – Contract Award (Block 7 identifies the prime contractor)

GSA Form 300 – Order for Supplies and Services (Block 6 identifies the prime contractor)

“Subcontractor” means the contractor has privity-of-contract with a prime contractor. When a prime contractor awards a contract to a contractor, the contractor is considered a subcontractor.

If the Offeror represents the combining of two or more companies, a JV for the purpose of this solicitation, the JV will be evaluated as a single Offeror. The experience of each JV partner will be evaluated based on each partner’s role in cited past work and in the proposed JV role for this project.
