B. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS
1. Basis for Contract Award
This is a best value source selection conducted in accordance with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Force Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). These regulations are available electronically at https://www.acquisition.gov/browse/index/far. The Government will select the offer representing the best overall value based on a comparative analysis and an integrated assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation. One contract will be awarded to the offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the FAR, as supplemented, and who proposal conforms to the solicitation’s requirements (to include all stated terms, conditions, representations, certifications, and all other information required by Section L of this solicitation) and is determined, based on the evaluation factors to represent the best value to the Government. The Government seeks to award to the offeror who gives the Government the greatest confidence that it will best meet, or exceed, the requirements. This may result in an award to the higher rated, higher priced offeror, where the decision is consistent with the evaluation factors, and the Source Selection Authority (SSA) reasonably determines that the technical and/or overall business approach and/or past performance of the higher priced offeror outweighs the cost difference.
The SSA will base the source selection decision on an integrated assessment of proposals against all source selection criteria in the solicitation (described below).
Award Without Discussions: The Government intends to make award without discussions. Therefore, each initial offer should contain the offeror’s best terms in response to all evaluation factors for the purposes of making the award decision without discussions, all initial proposals that are rated technically Unacceptable on any factor will be unawardable.
Number of Contracts to be Awarded: The Government intends to award one (1) Firm Fixed Price Indefinite Delivery Contract for the LRDR Campus Hardness Maintenance/Hardness Surveillance, but reserves the right to not make a contract award from this solicitation.
Rejection of Unrealistic Offers: The Government may reject any proposal that is evaluated to be unrealistic in terms of program commitments, contract terms and conditions, or unrealistically high or low cost when compared to Government estimates, such that the proposal is deemed to reflect an inherent lack of competence or failure to comprehend the complexity and risks of the program.
C. EVALUATION FACTORS

1. VOL 1 TAB A – FACTOR 1 – SPECIALIZED EXPERIENCE
1.1 SUBMISSION REQUIREMENTS
1.1.1. The prime contractor shall demonstrate recent, relevant experience on similar maintenance, surveillance, and sustainment services of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) protected facilities using Company Specialized Experience - Prime Contractor – (AM#1… Attachment 1 2 …AM#1) at the end of the section (no more than 2 pages per project). Offerors may identify state and local government and private contracts that are similar to the Government’s requirements. If the offeror is a joint venture, each firm of the joint venture shall provide information demonstrating experience relevant to their role on this project. Submit projects that are currently well underway (at least 50% progress/service period completed) or completed no longer than six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation. An offeror may receive credit for relevant experience under a previous business arrangement (joint venture for example) if the offeror demonstrates that their role on the submitted project is relevant to their role on this project. Submit no more than five (5) projects for the prime contractor for the maintenance, surveillance, and sustainment services of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) protected facilities.
1.1.2 Provide one page consolidated list of submitted projects for prime contractor to include a matrix that identifies the Specialized Experience projects and the firms that worked on each (teaming).
1.1.3 Provide a supplemental narrative, not to exceed two (2) pages, to address any of the following that are applicable. The information shall be limited to projects that are well underway (at least 50% progress completed) or that have been completed no longer than six (6) years preceding the date of this solicitation.
a . Offerors who submit experience information of a parent, sister or other affiliated company shall describe what involvement such company will have on the instant acquisition and demonstrate a firm commitment that the affiliated firm will participate meaningfully in the performance of the contract. The narrative shall clearly and specifically indicate what resources of the parent, sister or other affiliated company – its workforce, management, facilities, or other resources – will be provided or relied upon for contract performance. The Government may discount the experience of a parent, sister or other affiliated company unless the prime contractor clearly provides evidence of a binding teaming agreement or other contractual agreement which creates legal responsibility on the part of the parent, sister or other affiliated company or provides a Meaningful Relationship Commitment Letter including the following:
(i) A statement of commitment as to the performance and utilization of the identified entity’s resources on the project.
(ii) Signatures of both the Offeror and Meaningful Relationship Entity
b. Describe any previous teaming experience between current team members, if not described on the project experience forms. Identify specific projects and address how the team members worked together to achieve safety, quality, and schedule compliance goals.
1.2. EVALUATION CRITERIA:
1.2.1. The Government will evaluate the extent of recent, related experience of the prime contractor and subcontractors as relevant to their role on this project. The Government may place greater importance on demonstrated maintenance, surveillance, and sustainment services of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) protected facilities experience by the prime or key subcontractor depending on relevancy. For the prime contractor, the Government may place greater importance on projects performed as a prime contractor than as a subcontractor, depending upon overall role and relevancy considerations. Federal Government project experience will not be rated inherently more important than non-Federal Government project experience. In assessing relevancy of Specialized Experience, the relevancy ratings included under the Past Performance evaluation factor will be utilized.
1.2.2 Relevant experience includes:
(a) Experience with the maintenance, surveillance, and sustainment services of High Altitude Electromagnetic Pulse (HEMP) protected facilities;
(b) Experience with the development of Hardness Maintenance/Hardness Surveillance Program Plans for HEMP protected facilities;
(c) Experience with the onsite maintenance and surveillance of HEMP protected facilities;
(d) Experience with verification testing IAW MIL-STD-188-125-1 to support USSTRATCOM SACP
Certification;
(e) Previous experience with the execution of service contracts;
(f) Previous teaming experience between the prime contractor and subcontractors.
Experience with HEMP maintenance, surveillance, and sustainment services is considered most relevant. Experience as the Prime Contractor who self-performed the work will be rated inherently more important, than projects where the Prime Contractor subcontracted out the maintenance and surveillance activities. Federal Government project experience will not be rated inherently more important that non-Federal Government project experience. The construction and installation of HEMP shielded facilities are considered not relevant to the inspection and maintenance services required by this contract.
1.2.3 To receive credit for extent (amount) of experience, the offeror shall demonstrate a history of recent, relevant experience. Experience of a parent, sister or other affiliated company will not be considered if the offeror fails to demonstrate what resources of the parent, sister or other affiliated company will be provided or relied upon or fails to demonstrate the existence of a contractual or meaningful relationship with the parent, sister or other affiliated company. Experience under a previous business arrangement will not be considered relevant if the firm’s role on the submitted project is not considered relevant to their anticipated role on this project.
