Offerors shall submit in accordance with 52.212-1 (Instructions to Offerors-Commercial Items) and will be evaluated in accordance with 52.212-2 (Evaluation- Commercial Items) of this solicitation. Failure to provide a complete and timely proposal may deem a Contractor as non-responsive.

2. The Government will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) hybrid source selection procedures that will evaluate 1) Technical, 2) Past Performance, and 3) Price. Award will be made to the Contractor determined to be responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 9.1 whose proposal is considered compliant and conforms to the RFQ requirements and is determined to be the lowest evaluated (fair and reasonable) priced proposal determined Technically Acceptable with Substantial Confidence in Past Performance.

3. The guaranteed minimum quantity will be One (1) LOT where One (1) Lot = One (1) Year. One (1) LOT will be awarded at time of award. The Government is under no further obligation to order additional quantities. Any additional quantities will be at the rate of One (1) LOT per Ordering Period. In Ordering Period one, the minimum number of HUSK cabs will be 13 (see following paragraphs for more details).

4. The second tab of the Pricing Matrix identifies the 450 parts necessary for the vendor to manage and the total number of each part that is required per HUSK Cab (column c).

10. On time delivery is very critical. Offerors must adhere to the delivery requirements indicated in any resultant award. Failure to comply with the contractual delivery schedule, may result in termination of the order or require consideration if the government elects to extend delivery. The Government is not required to extend your delivery schedule if you encounter delays. The non-availability of raw materials, subcontractor issues, scheduling conflicts, etc., should be considered at the time you are submitting your offer/bid. They are not acceptable excuses for failing to meet the delivery after award.

Ensuring that you can provide quality products that conform to the contract is just as important as meeting the required delivery schedule. Delivery of non-conforming products results in delivery delays and increased costs to the Government.

Please note that if you receive this award, your performance under this contract (including timeliness of deliveries and the quality of supplies/services delivered) will be monitored and recorded by this contracting office. This information may be used to determine a record of past performance for future contract awards.

Contractors/offerors that are concerned about their record of past performance may contact this office if they wish to view and discuss their records.

Addendum to 52.212-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

1. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS: These instructions are a guide for preparing your proposal.

Offerors are expected to review the complete solicitation and all attachments and exhibits for further insight into the areas that your proposal must address. You should include in the proposal sufficient information to enable the evaluators to determine your understanding of the requirements in each of the evaluated areas.

It is the Government’s intent to award a single Firm Fixed-Price (FFP), five (5) year, Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract with five 1-year ordering periods utilizing Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) hybrid source selection procedures that will evaluate 1) Technical, 2) Past Performance, and 3) Price.

Award will be made to the Offeror determined to be responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 9.1 whose proposal is considered compliant and conforms to the RFQ requirements and is determined to be the lowest evaluated (fair and reasonable) priced proposal determined Technically Acceptable with Substantial Confidence in Past Performance. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a)). Therefore, the Offerors initial response should contain the Offerors best terms for technical and price. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if determined necessary by the Contracting Officer.

It is incumbent upon the Offeror to explain why they are considered a major/key subcontractor on a relevant requirement. Offerors are advised that while the Government may use independent data to evaluate an Offerors past performance the Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems.

The degree to which contracts are of a comparable complexity to the proposed effort may also be considered in determining relevance.

The contract descriptions in the proposal shall include the following information:

Name of contracting activity/commercial firm Contract Number Contract type (Fixed Price, Cost Reimbursable, etc.)

(End of provision)

Addendum to 52.212-2 EVALUATION--COMMERCIAL ITEMS

The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the Offeror determined to be responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 9.1 whose proposal is considered compliant and conforms to the RFQ requirements and represents the best value to the Government based on the evaluated factors.

Basis for Contract Award: The Government will utilize Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) hybrid source selection procedures that will evaluate 1) Technical, 2) Past Performance, and 3) Price. The Government intends to award a contract resulting from this solicitation to the Offeror determined to be responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 9.1 whose proposal is considered compliant and conforms to the RFQ requirements and is determined to be the lowest evaluated (fair and reasonable) priced proposal determined Technically Acceptable with Substantial Confidence in Past Performance. In the event that no otherwise qualified proposal receives Substantial Confidence in Past Performance, the Government reserves the right to make award to the Offeror determined to be responsible in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation subpart 9.1 whose proposal is considered compliant and conforms to the RFQ requirements and is determined to be the lowest evaluated (fair and reasonable) priced proposal determined Technically Acceptable with other than Substantial Confidence in Past Performance.

The Government intends to evaluate proposals and award without discussions with Offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306 (a)). However we reserve the right to hold discussions if deemed necessary by the contracting officer.

Solicitation Requirements, Terms and Conditions: Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the solicitation may result in the offeror being ineligible for award.

Rejections of Unrealistic Proposals: Any proposal which is unrealistic will be judged either as exhibiting a lack of competence of failure to comprehend the Government’s requirements and may be so evaluated and rated, or rejected for such reasons. Furthermore, any proposal that is considered unreasonably high or low price, or contains significant inconsistencies between the Technical and price, if unexplained, may be grounds for rejection of the proposal. The Government will evaluate each proposal strictly in accordance with its content and will not assumethat performance will include areas not specified in the Contractor’s proposal.

A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Before the offer's specified expiration time, the Government may accept an offer (or part of an offer), whether or not there are negotiations after its receipt, unless a written notice of withdrawal is received before award.

The Evaluation Factors for this requirement:

Factor 1: Technical

a. Technical Approach (Acceptable/Unacceptable) – Written

b. Program Management Plan (Acceptable/Unacceptable) – Written

Factor 2: Past Performance (Performance Confidence Assessment – Substantial Confidence, Satisfactory Confidence, Limited Confidence, No Confidence, and Unknown Confidence (Neutral).

Factor 3: Price – Submitted as described in the Price Matrix Instructions under Clause 52.212-1

Evaluation Factors with Evaluation Criteria:

Factor 1: Technical Factor will be evaluated on an Acceptable/Unacceptable basis. In order for the Technical proposal to receive an Acceptable rating, each subfactor, (1) Technical Approach, and (2) Program Management must receive an Acceptable rating.

(a) Subfactor 1: Technical Approach will be evaluated as Acceptable/Unacceptable based on evaluation of the following elements:

(v) The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed approach to monitoring and stocking of the hardware per the SOW.

(vi) The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed approach to meeting the required time limits that are outlined in the SOW.

(vii) The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed approach for meeting the shelving requirements per the SOW.

(viii) The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed approach for meeting the minimum reporting requirements of the SOW.

(b) Subfactor 2: Program Management Plan will be evaluated as Acceptable/Unacceptable based on evaluation of the following elements:

(iv) The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) for the 60-day phase-in period to become fully operational. The IMS shall identify significant events, milestones, and program tasks, such as but not limited to purchasing, stocking, training, that demonstrate the Offeror’s ability to become fully operational within the phase-in period.

(v) The Government will evaluate the e Offeror’s proposed organizational structure that demonstrates a sound understanding of the SOW requirements with responsibilities and functional relationships that full support the requirements of the SOW, including the reporting responsibilities and communication process.

(vi) The Government will evaluate the Offeror’s proposed comprehensive strategy that demonstrates the Offeror possesses the experience and capabilities to successfully manage, understand, and execute the requirements of the SOW.

Factor 2: Past Performance will evaluate the Offerors record of recent and relevant past and current performance, to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the requirements of the SOW and this solicitation. This assessment will take into account factors relevant to the performance of the requirements of the solicitation.

1. The Government will determine if past performance information is recent and relevant. This will include information provided by the Offeror and may include information identified by the Government.

2. Past Performance information determined to be recent and relevant will be assessed for quality by determining how well the Offeror performed on those contracts. This will be used to select the most appropriate Past Performance Confidence Assessment Rating from the following:

Substantial Confidence: Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a high expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Satisfactory Confidence: Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

Limited Confidence: Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has a low expectation that the Offeror will successfully perform the required effort.

No Confidence: Based on the Offerors recent/relevant performance record, the Government has no expectation that the Offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Unknown Confidence (Neutral): No recent/relevant performance record is available or the Offerors performance record is so sparse that no meaningful confidence assessment rating can be reasonably assigned.

NOTE: Offerors are advised that while an Offeror will not be evaluated either favorably or unfavorably for having Unknown Confidence (Neutral) past performance, that Unknown Confidence (Neutral) rating can be considered based on the stated criteria for award.

Factor 2: Price

a. Within the Price Matrix for CLIN 0001 each firm-fixed Unit of Measure (UoM) by part number is automatically multiplied by the per unit number to obtain the Ordering Period (OP) Extended Firm-Fixed-Prices. The OP Extended Firm-Fixed-Prices are automatically summed by ordering period to calculate the Evaluated Prices by Ordering Period. The Evaluated Price for Ordering Period One, Two, Three, Four, and Five are automatically summed to calculate the Total Evaluated Price.

b. The TEP will be evaluated utilizing the proposal techniques IAW FAR 15.404-1(b), price analysis for commercial and non-commercial items. In accordance with FAR 15.402, Pricing Policy, the Government reserves the right to request the data necessary to determine a fair and reasonable price.

c. TEP will be evaluated, but will not be assigned a rating. The Government anticipates competition, therefore, the Government anticipates utilizing the TEP to determine if an Offeror’s proposal is fair and reasonable.

d. As part of the cost/price evaluation, proposals will be reviewed to identify any potential Unbalanced Pricing. In accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), Unbalanced Pricing, a proposal may be rejected if the Contracting Officer determines the lack of balance poses an unacceptable risk to the Government.
