9 Quote Content Requirements mailto:patrick.j.anderson82.mil@army.mil mailto:domenico.torello.mil@army.mil

9.1 Clarification of Intent

The quotation shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements. “Parroting” of the PWS or Technical Exhibit with a statement of intent to perform does not demonstrate understanding or capability. Blanket statements that the Vendor “understands,” “can,” or “will comply,” or vague assurances that “standard procedures will be employed,” will result in a failure to demonstrate technical capability under Factor 1. Vendors are responsible for providing sufficient detail to permit a complete and accurate evaluation.

9.2 Proprietary Information

Proprietary information shall be clearly marked as such.

10 Volume I – Administrative

The Administrative Volume must be complete, accurate, and current at the time of quotation submission. Failure to provide any of the required documentation, or submission of incomplete or expired documentation, will be deemed non-conforming, technically unacceptable, and ineligible for award.

The Administrative Volume shall be organized as follows:

10.1 Vendor Point of Contact and Company Information

Provide:

• Full legal name of the company, Cage Code and Unique Entity Identifier (UEI).

• Business structure (e.g., corporation, limited liability company, partnership, sole proprietorship); and

• Name, title, telephone number, and email address of the individual authorized to bind the company contractually and responsible for all quotation decisions and contractual obligations.

10.2 USFK

Vendors comply with the USFK / SOFA requirements set forth in Section 1.4 of this RFQ.

10.3 System for Award Management (SAM) Registration

In accordance with RFO 4.203-1(b), quoters are required to have an active Federal Government contracts registration in SAM when they submit an offer or quotation, and at the time of award. [https://www.sam.gov].

10.4 Amendments

Acknowledge all amendments (SF-30 forms). Unsigned, incomplete, or erroneous forms will be deemed non-conforming, technically unacceptable, and ineligible for award.

11 Volume II – Technical Capability (Factor 1)

11.1 General Instructions

The technical requirements and performance outcomes are defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Technical Exhibit 1. Vendors may propose any technical architecture, cooking technology, form factor, staffing model, or support concept that achieves those outcomes.

The Technical Volume shall clearly and concisely explain the proposed solution for executing the PWS and achieving the required outcomes. The Government will evaluate the substance of the proposed approach, supporting evidence, and demonstrated understanding of the operational environment (Camp Walker / Republic of Korea / INDOPACOM). Quotations that merely restate the PWS or assert compliance without explaining the proposed solution and providing supporting details will fail to demonstrate technical capability.

The vendor should address each of the following areas:

11.2 Implementation Plan & Scalability:

Describe the plan to achieve Full Operational Capability (FOC) at Camp Walker within the timeline established in the PWS, including the sequence from site survey through trial operations and any known schedule risks with mitigations. Demonstrate manufacturing capacity, supply-chain readiness, and logistical planning sufficient to deliver, install, and fully activate multi-site expansion units (CLINs 0003/0004) upon receipt of an Expansion

Exercise Modification (EEM).

11.3 Performance Outcomes

Describe how the proposed solution will achieve the performance outcomes stated in the PWS and Technical

Exhibit 1. Provide supporting evidence (test data, modeling, laboratory or prototype results, data from analogous systems of comparable complexity, or prior operational results). The Government does not prescribe architecture, cooking method, or form factor.

11.4 Containerized Expeditionary Capability

Describe the proposed approach to meet the Government’s expeditionary and mobility needs, including transportability by standard U.S. Army wheeled prime movers, integrated power/water/grey-water management, compatibility with standard operational rations, and automated fault detection and recovery.

11.5 In-Country Support & Multi-Site Execution

Describe the approach to independently achieve the in-country support outcomes required by the PWS, including minimum on-site presence, fault response, named local point of contact and alternate, and personnel continuity.

Support cost is fully burdened within the firm-fixed-price of the applicable CLIN; no separate labor CLIN will be established.

11.6 Data, Reporting, Cybersecurity & Compliance

Describe the proposed approach for providing the Government with secure access to operational performance data (with unlimited rights in data generated under the contract, excluding proprietary software, source code, or trade secrets beyond those needed to operate and support the systems), compliance with Section 889 and the

Trade Agreements Act, and cybersecurity appropriate for commercial-network operation independent of

NIPRNet/SIPRNet. A full Cybersecurity Plan is due within 60 calendar days after award and is not required at the time of quotation.

12 Volume III – Past Performance (Factor 2)

The quoter shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing recent and relevant past performance information. The volume will be used to assess the probability that the quoter will successfully perform the required effort.

12.1. Recency: Efforts must be ongoing or completed within five (5) years prior to the issuance date of this solicitation.

Total Dollar Value; Period of Performance; narrative addressing technological capability, innovation, quality of service, customer satisfaction, and maintenance reach-back; and current points of contact (name, phone, email) for the Contracting Officer, COR, or commercial equivalent. The quoter is responsible for ensuring that all points of contact are current and reachable.

12.4. The Government may consider CPARS, SPRS, customer interviews, and other reasonably available sources. The Government is not limited to the information contained in the quotation.

Note: Failure to submit Volume III as required shall render the quotation noncompliant and ineligible for award. The Contracting Officer is not responsible for obtaining or verifying past performance information on behalf of the vendor.

13 Volume IV – Price (Factor 3)

Note: Vendors must submit pricing in a separate volume labeled Volume IV: Price, using the Government-provided Excel template titled “4. Volume_IV_Price_Quote_Template.xlsx.” The volume must contain only pricing information.

13.1 Formatting Requirements

• Editable Microsoft Excel (.xls or .xlsx), fully unlocked, formulas visible;

• All prices in whole Korean Won (KRW) – no decimals or fractional values;

• Complete entries – no blanks, ranges, “TBD,” or “N/A” (except Expansion CLINs pre-filled as NSP); and

• Self-extracting executable files are prohibited.

13.1.a Example CLIN Structure (Refence : Attachment 3) VOLUME IV PRICE

13.2 Cost Inclusions (Turnkey RaaS subscription)

Quoted prices shall represent a complete turnkey Robotics-as-a-Service (RaaS) monthly subscription and must include all costs necessary to perform the PWS: hardware, software, licensing, consumables, direct labor (including required in-country support presence), materials, maintenance, delivery, installation, activation, and all direct and indirect costs.

13.3 Multi-Service Expansion (MSE) CLINs

Expansion CLINs 0003, 0004, 1003, 1004, 2003, and 2004 are Not Separately Priced (NSP). Vendors shall not submit separate pricing for these CLINs. By submitting a quotation, the Vendor agrees that if the Government activates an Expansion CLIN, the unit price will be locked at parity (exactly equal) to the quoted price of the corresponding primary system CLIN for that performance period.

13.4 Deployment Support Event CLINs (0005, 1005, 2005)

CLINs 0005, 1005, and 2005 are not priced at the time of quotation. They will be priced by bilateral modification when exercised, using Joint Travel Regulations (JTR) rates. Do not include any contingency deployment travel, lodging, or per-diem costs in the primary system CLINs. Routine in-country support travel required to meet the minimum presence and sustainment requirements at the primary performance location remains included in the applicable base or option FFP CLIN.

13.5 52.217-8 Extension of Services

Quoters shall price only the Base Period and the two Option Periods. Quoters shall not submit a price for a potential six-month extension of services under RFO 52.217-8. If exercised, the extension will utilize the rates of the then-current performance period.

(RFO / DoD Class Deviation 2026-O0028)

14. Basis for Contract Award

14.1. This is a streamlined, competitive acquisition conducted in accordance with RFO Part 12. The Government intends to award a single Firm-Fixed-Price (FFP) contract (month-to-month lease) for both the Indoor Autonomous Kitchen (I-AK) and the Containerized Autonomous Kitchen (C-AK) to the responsible quoter whose quotation conforming to the solicitation provides the best overall benefit to the Government, price and other factors considered.

14.2. Comparative Evaluation. The Government will evaluate quotations using a comparative evaluation in accordance with RFO 12.203(c)(2). Comparative evaluation is the act of comparing two or more quotations in response to the RFQ in a uniform manner to determine which quotation provides the Government with the best overall benefit, considering Technical Capability, Past Performance, and Price. No numerical scores or weights are assigned to the factors or to individual elements within a factor.

14.3. Quotations are first reviewed to ensure all RFQ submission requirements are met. Quotations that fail to meet mandatory submission or administrative requirements will be deemed non-conforming and will not be further evaluated. Responsive quotations will then be evaluated by performing a direct, side-by-side comparison of one quotation with another to determine which provides the greatest overall benefit to the Government with the least performance risk.

14.4. The Government reserves the right to consider a response that offers more than the minimum requirements and to select that response if it provides a benefit to the Government. The Government also has the discretion to award to other than the lowest-priced quotation when a higher-priced quotation provides additional benefits under Technical Capability and/or Past Performance.

15. The relative order of importance of the evaluation factors is as follows:

• Factor 1 (Technical Capability) is significantly more important than Factor 2 (Past Performance).

• Factor 1 and Factor 2, when combined, are significantly more important than Factor 3 (Price).

16. Evaluation Factors. The following factors will be used to evaluate quotes:

• Administrative (Volume I)

• Factor 1 – Technical Capability (Volume II)

• Factor 2 – Past Performance (Volume III)

• Factor 3 – Price (Volume IV)

17. Volume I – Administrative

Volume I is evaluated on a Compliant / Non-Compliant basis. Failure to comply with any mandatory administrative requirement shall cause the quotation to be deemed non-compliant.

17.1. Rating Scale- Administrative

Rating Definition

Compliant The quotation meets the minimum requirements. All required administrative documentation is provided, valid, and complete.

Non- Compliant The quotation does not meet the minimum requirements. One or more required administrative documents are missing, invalid, or incomplete.

18. Factor 1 – Technical Capability (Volume II)

18.1 General. The technical requirements and performance outcomes are defined in the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and Technical Exhibit 1. Vendors may propose any technical architecture, cooking technology, form factor, staffing model, or support concept that achieves those outcomes. The evaluation will assess the extent to which the quoter’s proposed solution demonstrates understanding of the requirements and a credible plan to fulfill them in the Republic of Korea / Camp Walker / INDOPACOM environment. Quotations that merely restate the PWS or assert compliance without describing the proposed approach and providing supporting detail will not demonstrate technical capability.

18.2 Acceptable / Unacceptable Determination (Factor 1 as a Whole) The Government will evaluate Factor 1 – Technical Capability on an Acceptable or Unacceptable basis as a whole. The technical elements listed in paragraph 18.4 will be considered collectively.

A quotation will be rated Acceptable under Factor 1 if, when considered as a whole, it demonstrates a credible plan and supporting detail showing that the proposed solution meets the minimum requirements of the PWS and Technical Exhibit 1 and can achieve the required outcomes in the ROK / Camp Walker / INDOPACOM environment.

A quotation will be rated Unacceptable under Factor 1 if, when considered as a whole, it fails to demonstrate a credible plan or supporting detail for the mandatory requirements, or merely restates the PWS without describing the proposed approach.

Only quotations rated Acceptable under Factor 1 will proceed to the comparative evaluation. A quotation rated Unacceptable under Factor 1 will be restricted from further consideration for award.

18.2.1. Rating Scale- Technical Capability Factor

Rating Definition

Acceptable

When considered as a whole, the quotation demonstrates a credible plan and supporting detail showing that the proposed solution meets the minimum requirements of the PWS and Technical Exhibit 1 and can achieve the required outcomes in the ROK / Camp Walker / INDOPACOM environment. Minor weaknesses that do not represent a material risk to successful performance do not require an Unacceptable rating.

Unacceptable

When considered as a whole, the quotation fails to demonstrate a credible plan or supporting detail for the mandatory requirements, or merely restates the PWS without describing the proposed approach. An Unacceptable rating under Factor 1 restricts the quotation from the comparative evaluation

18.3 Comparative Evaluation (Acceptable quotations only). Among quotations rated Acceptable under Factor 1, the Government will perform a comparative evaluation focusing on the degree to which each quotation exceeds the minimum requirements or demonstrates lower performance risk. Evidence that the proposed solution exceeds performance outcomes in quantifiable metrics (e.g., faster deployment timelines, lower energy consumption, or higher meal-throughput capacity) may be evaluated as more beneficial to the Government.

18.4 Technical Elements to be Evaluated (considered collectively under the Factor 1 rating):

18.4.1 Implementation Plan & Scalability. Evaluate the plan to achieve Full Operational Capability (FOC) at Camp Walker within the PWS timeline, including sequence, risks and mitigations, and the firm calendar-day timeline from Expansion Exercise Modification (EEM) for delivery, installation, and activation of expansion units.

Assess manufacturing capacity, supply-chain readiness, and logistical planning for multi-site expansion.

18.4.2 Performance Outcomes. Evaluate the extent to which the proposed solution is likely to achieve the performance outcomes in the PWS and Technical Exhibit 1, supported by credible evidence.

18.4.3 Containerized Expeditionary Capability (C-AK). Evaluate the proposed approach to meeting the Government’s expeditionary and mobility needs, including transportability by standard U.S. Army wheeled prime movers, integrated power/water/grey-water management, compatibility with standard operational rations (UGR-A), and automated fault detection and recovery.

18.4.4 In-Country Support & Multi-Site Execution. Evaluate the proposed approach to independently achieving the in-country support outcomes required by the PWS (minimum on-site presence, fault response times, named local POC and alternate, personnel continuity). Support cost is fully burdened within the firm-fixed-price of the applicable CLIN.

18.4.5 Data, Reporting, Cybersecurity & Compliance. Evaluate the proposed approach for secure Government access to operational performance data.

19. Factor 2 – Past Performance (Volume III)

19.1 General. The Government will evaluate the recency, relevancy, and quality of the quoter’s past performance using information submitted by the quoter and information independently obtained by the…
