SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

L-III – PROPOSAL PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

A. Proposal Submittal and Inquiries.

1. Proposals shall be submitted electronically prior to the date and time specified in Block 9, Central Time (CT), identified on the SF 33 to the following address:

The Army Aviation and Missile Research Development and Engineering Center Safe Access File Exchange

(AMRDEC SAFE) https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/

Proposals shall be sent through AMRDEC SAFE to the Contract Specialist's (CS) and Contracting Officer’s (KO) email addresses:

jermain.m.compton.civ@mail.mil and worner.o.heath.civ@mail.mil.

a. No hard copies or CDs will be accepted. Offeror shall click on "Non-CAC Users" once the site is entered. Enter the Offeror's name and email address.

b. The Offeror can upload up to a maximum of 25 files, (total size cannot exceed 2GB). The Offeror shall place a Description of each file uploaded located in the "Description of File(s)" box located on the right. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the proposal is uploaded acceptably.

c. The Offeror shall manually enter each email address one at a time and click add after each entry. The Offeror shall ensure that the box next to "Require CAC for Pick-up (all recipients will need to log in with a CAC to download file(s))" is checked. The Offeror shall click the "Upload" button once all instructions have been followed. Once this is done, the Offeror will be notified to verify the email address. The Offeror will receive an email with a website and password to verify the email address. If you do not verify the email address, the proposal will not be downloaded for evaluation. Please use the link provided in the email address and enter the password given in the email address.

Once the Offeror hits the submit button please click on verify and the proposal will be sent to the Government.

2. The Acquisition Source Selection Interactive Support Tool (ASSIST):

a. During the conduct of this acquisition, the ASSIST will be used by the Government to support the proposal evaluation and source selection process. A separate tool, the ASSIST2Industry, will be used in conjunction with ASSIST to accomplish all exchanges with Offerors after receipt of proposals pursuant to Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.306. ASSIST2Industry provides the ability for the Government to issue, and the Offerors to receive and respond to, all Evaluation Notices (ENs) in a secure online environment.

b. In order to initiate the use of ASSIST2Industry, the Government requires the names, company titles, telephone numbers, and email addresses of two (2) individuals that the Offeror has designated as responsible for receiving and responding to Government ENs through ASSIST2Industry. The designation of two (2) individuals is for the purpose of insuring availability of one individual if the other individual is not available. The required information regarding these two (2) individuals must be submitted with the Offeror’s proposal and included in the cover letter.

c. After the solicitation closing date of 14 May 2018, the Government will establish an account in ASSIST2Industry for each individual identified by the Offeror that has submitted a proposal in response to this solicitation. The two individuals named by the Offeror will be authorized access to that account. Two (2) separate system generated emails will be sent to each individual. One of the emails will contain the individual’s ASSIST2Industry username.

The other email will contain the individual’s temporary password. Using the provided username and temporary password, each individual can then go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. NOTE: The first time a user logs in, the user will be required to change the temporary password before the user can proceed to use the site.

d. Whenever the Government issues ENs to the Offeror through ASSIST2Industry, the Government’s Contracting Officer will notify the Offeror through a medium independent of ASSIST2Industry ( e.g., e-mail) that the Offeror has ENs in ASSIST2Industry waiting for a response. There will be no ENs in ASSIST2Industry until such notice is issued by the Contracting Officer.

e. All Offerors are advised that ASSIST2Industry has been updated and it is now the responsibility of PRIME Contractors to establish accounts for the SUBCONTRACTORS to respond to Government ENs. A separate area within ASSIST2Industry has been created to allow authorized Subcontractor POCs to upload proposal files only.

Subcontractors will not be able to access any other information on the ASSIST2Industry website (e.g.

Questions/Evaluation Notices, Responses, etc.). Once a Subcontractor has been added, they will receive a user ID

(e.g. subcontractor0001) and password (an initial password) that will be sent via two separate system generated e-mails. A Subcontractor will have one user ID for all PRIMES and solicitation responses, i.e. if you are a Subcontractor to multiple Prime Contractors and multiple solicitation responses, you will only have one user ID.

Once an account has been established for the Subcontractor, go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. Prime Contractors will only be able to see the number of files submitted by the Subcontractors; but will be UNABLE TO VIEW the Subcontractor’s files.

NOTE: Both Prime Contractors and Subcontractors are instructed to review the ASSIST2Industry User’s Guide, located under the “Getting Started” tab on the website. The guide has been updated and provides step-by-step instructions on how to perform functions and navigate the website.

Offerors can contact the ASSIST2Industry helpdesk via email at usarmy.jbmdl.acc.list.vce-helpdesk@mail.mil or by telephone at (609) 562-5988 or (609) 562-7050 for any technical assistance that may be needed.

THE OFFERORS ARE CAUTIONED THAT THE SYSTEM GENERATED EMAILS REFERRED TO ABOVE

ARE INTENDED FOR ADMINISTRATIVE PURPOSES ONLY. RECEIPT OF THESE EMAILS DOES NOT

CONSTITUTE THE COMMENCEMENT OF ANY TYPE OF EXCHANGE WITH THE OFFEROR IN

ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 15.306(A), (B), OR (D) (I.E., CLARIFICATIONS, COMMUNICATIONS, OR

DISCUSSIONS). ALSO, RECEIPT OF THESE EMAILS DOES NOT SIGNIFY THAT A COMPETITIVE

RANGE DETERMINATION IN ACCORDANCE WITH FAR 15.306(C) HAS BEEN MADE OR THAT THE

OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL WILL BE INCLUDED IN THE COMPETITIVE RANGE WHEN THAT

DETERMINATION IS MADE. ALL NOTIFICATIONS THAT ANY TYPE OF EXCHANGE WITH THE

OFFEROR HAS COMMENCED AND THE OFFEROR HAS EVALUATION NOTICES (ENS) AVAILABLE TO

RESPOND TO, OR ANY NOTIFICATION THAT THE OFFEROR’S PROPOSAL HAS BEEN INCLUDED IN

OR EXCLUDED FROM THE COMPETITIVE RANGE, WILL BE SENT TO THE OFFEROR BY THE

CONTRACTING OFFICER INDEPENDENTLY OF THE ASSIST2INDUSTRY.

3. Oral demonstrations will be conducted at the following location:

White Sands Missile Range Building 143 White Sands Missile Range, New Mexico 88002

4. The point of contact responsible for supplying additional information and answering all inquiries is the Contracting Officer via the Contract Specialist. Address all questions or concerns the Offeror may have to Mr.

Worner Heath, KO and Mr. Jermain M. Compton, CS. All questions regarding this solicitation shall be submitted in writing via email not later than 1200 noon Central Standard Time on 12 April 2018 to the KO and CS identified below:

Worner.o.heath.civ@mail.mil; AND jermain.m.compton.civ@mail.mil.

Questions submitted after the specified date/time will not be accepted by the Government. Responses to the questions will be incorporated into an amendment to the solicitation and posted to Federal Business Opportunities (FBO) website for viewing by all potential Offerors. Industry questions and answers may or may not have a bearing on the substantive content of the solicitation or the contract requirements, and it should NOT be assumed that the date set for receipt of proposals will be extended.

B. General Instructions

1. The selection of a source for award purposes will be conducted utilizing source selection (negotiated) procedures as delineated in FAR Sub-Part 15.3, Source Selection. The Government will evaluate offers using the criteria under Section M – Evaluation Factors for Award. Noncompliance with Section L may cause the Offeror’s proposal to be determined nonresponsive and may result in elimination of the proposal from further consideration for contract award.

2.

The KO will provide written notification to each Offeror whose proposal was in the competitive range, but was not selected for award IAW 15.503(b). Upon such notification, unsuccessful Offerors may request and receive a debriefing. Offerors desiring a debriefing must make the request in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506, as applicable.

3. Proposal Content:

Volume I – General: Offerors are required to submit a completed SF 33 (including acknowledgment of Amendments), Section B, and Section K. All final monetary extensions shall be in whole dollars only. Failure to follow the below Contract Proposal preparation instructions may cause the proposal to be deemed unacceptable by the Government. The General Volume shall be organized as follows and contain the identified information.

TAB A, Transmittal Summary Letter. The Offeror shall submit a transmittal summary letter to include a list of the proposal package contents; tax identification number, CAGE Code, and DUNS; an overview of the company’s history, organization and general experience, to include a listing of subcontractors and/or teaming partners; and two

(2) points of contact (POC) (name, title, email address, and phone number) who can obligate the company contractually, address decisions made with regard to the proposal, authorized to negotiate with the Government, and respond to Government inquires through ASSIST2Industry. Additionally, provide contact information for a POC at the Offeror’s financial institution that can assist with validating the Offeror’s solvency.

TAB B, Exceptions/Assumptions (if required). Identification and explanation of any exceptions or deviations.

Additionally, any assumptions used in the proposal preparation must be identified.

TAB C, Solicitation, Offer and Award. The SF 33 shall be submitted fully completed. The Offeror is cautioned that the SF 33 must contain an original or digital signature in block 26 of the form. The contractor shall acknowledge any amendments to the RFP IAW the instructions on the SF33 and with FAR 52.215-1(b), Instruction to Offerors—Competitive Acquisition. Also, identify those individuals authorized to negotiate with the Government.

TAB D, Section B (Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs). Section B shall be submitted fully completed and error free. It shall contain the Offeror’s prices for the established CLINs.

TAB E, Section K (Representation, Certifications, and Other Statements of Offerors). The Offeror shall include a statement confirming that all representations and certifications are current, complete, and accurate in the System For Award Management (SAM) as of the date of the proposal submission.

TAB F, Organizational Conflict of Interest (OCI) Mitigation Plan. The Offeror shall submit a Mitigation Plan, if required, to satisfy the requirements of FAR 9.5 OCI. Actual and potential OCI conflicts that may exist include Unequal Access to Information, Biased Ground Rules, and Impaired Objectivity. The Mitigation Plan shall include a description of the actual or potential OCI, a description of the action that the Offeror has taken or proposes to take to avoid, mitigate, or neutralize the conflict, and any other relevant information that would assist the Contracting Officer in determining whether the Mitigation Plan is acceptable or unacceptable. If the Offeror determines that no OCI Mitigation Plan is required, the Offeror shall submit its representation stating that no OCI situation exists.

Significant potential OCI exists when system contractors are, or appear to be, involved in the testing and evaluation of their own equipment or systems. In the context of OCI for systems that may be tested under this contract, involvement is defined as any participation or connection to a project, contract, program, or product which may create actual or perceived OCI. This includes participation in contracts that provide engineering or technical support to sponsors or program offices responsible for developing such systems. ATEC Regulation 73-1 and ATEC Pam 73- 1 and the statutory, regulatory and policy references therein, are applicable to this contract. Offerors are hereby notified that an actual or perceived OCI found during evaluation or after contract award could be grounds for elimination from competition or contract termination.

If any Offeror has questions with regards to its affirmative responsibility to identify OCI concerns and/or how to mitigate each issue, the Offeror is encouraged to ask questions and seek clarifications before proposal due dates. The Government will be prevented from awarding a contract to any Offeror who has an actual OCI issue that cannot be mitigated to the satisfaction of the Contracting Officer.

Volume II – Mission Capability (Factor 1): The Mission Capability Volume shall be clear, concise, cover the understanding of the work, and include sufficient detail of the Offeror’s method to attain contract objectives. The Mission Capability proposal shall enable technical personnel to make a thorough evaluation and determination as to whether the method proposed and described will satisfy the requirements of the Government. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, art work or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired.

As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts you identify for past performance evaluation/performance confidence assessment. Since the Government intends to consider present and past performance information provided by other sources as well as that provided by the Offeror(s), the "roadmap" should be both specifically applicable to the efforts you identify and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.
