Section A - Solicitation/Contract Form

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

1. This is DRAFT solicitation W911QX-17-R-0003. It previously used solicitation number W911QX-16-R-

0009. Since a final solicitation was not released in Fiscal Year 2016, a new solicitation number was required to be created to reflect Fiscal Year 2017 (hence the change from solicitation number W911QX-16-R-0009 to

W911QX-17-R-0003).

2. THIS DRAFT SOLICITATION IS NOT A REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS (RFP). THIS DRAFT

SOLICITATION WILL BE FOLLOWED BY A FORMAL SOLICITATION. Proposals are NOT being accepted in response to this draft solicitation. The purpose of this draft solicitation is for industry to provide questions and/or requests for clarifications on this draft solicitation package, in an effort to reduce those exchanges once the formal solicitation is released. A response to this draft solicitation is NOT required for eligibility to propose against the anticipated formal solicitation. All questions concerning this draft solicitation must be submitted in writing to Rebecca Patterson, rebecca.b.patterson.civ@mail.mil by 10:00

AM Eastern Daylight Time (ET) on 11 November 2016. (alternate point of contact (POC): Bryan Hoffman, bryan.p.hoffman2.civ@mail.mil). All questions concerning this draft solicitation must include Company

Name, Point of Contact and Title, Telephone Number, Email Address and Fax Number. Questions received without the aforementioned information will not be answered. No additional questions will be accepted after this deadline. Questions will be answered by the issuance of a solicitation amendment.

3. This is a total 8(a) small business set-aside acquisition for a multiple award (MA) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite

Quantity (IDIQ) Cost-Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Term contract(s) and Task Order (TO) 0001, that is anticipated to be issued soon after the base award. This is a best value trade-off source selection conducted in accordance with

Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.3, Source Selection, as supplemented by the Defense Federal Acquisition

Regulation Supplement (DFARS), and the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). Award(s) will be made based on the best overall proposal(s) that is/are determined to provide the best value trade-off to the

Government with appropriate consideration given to the following three (3) evaluation factors: (I) Technical; (II)

Past Performance; and (III) Cost. The Technical Factor is slightly more important than the Past Performance

Factor. The Past Performance Factor is slightly more important than the Cost factor. However, the factors are sufficiently close that as the cost increases, it diminishes the relative benefit of higher ratings in technical and/or past performance. Offerors are thus cautioned that award(s) may not necessarily be made to the lowest cost offered.

4. It is the intention of the Government to award approximately three (3) MA IDIQ CPFF contract(s) with a shared ceiling up to $45,960,411.42. In addition, the Government anticipates TO 0001 will be issued to one (1) of the MA

CPFF IDIQ contract awardees soon after the base award.

5. The ordering period for each MA IDIQ CPFF contract will be five (5) years from the date of award. The period of performance for TO 0001, if awarded, will not exceed one (1) year.

6. The Government intends to evaluate proposals and make award(s) without discussions. If discussions are to be conducted, a competitive range will be established and comprised of all of the most highly rated proposals (unless the range is further reduced for purposes of efficiency pursuant to FAR 15.306(c)(2)) based on the evaluation criteria identified within Section M of this Request for Proposal (RFP). After completion of discussions with each offeror in the competitive range (if conducted) and in accordance with FAR 15.307(b), all offerors in the competitive range will be allowed a specified period to submit Final Proposal Revisions.

7. The RFP includes a Basic Performance Work Statement (PWS), to include Appendix A - Labor Categories, as well as a Sample TO 0001 PWS. Offerors must be able to perform all areas of the Basic PWS to be eligible for a

MA IDIQ CPFF contract award. It is imperative that offerors expressly provide that their proposal(s) is valid for a

90 day period after the date of the RFP response date.

8. 8(a) small businesses must be eligible pursuant to FAR Part 19. Proposals received from offerors that do not qualify as small business concerns under the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) 541611 (size mailto:rebecca.b.patterson.civ@mail.mil mailto:bryan.p.hoffman2.civ@mail.mil standard $15.0M) shall not be considered for the RFP. All small businesses will be evaluated using the same evaluation criteria identified in Section M of the RFP.

ACC-ADL-C.5152.032-4420

SYSTEM for AWARD MANAGEMENT (SAM) REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT (July 2012)

Attn: New Contract Awardees

Effective 29 July 2012, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR), Online Representations and Certifications

Application (ORCA), and Excluded Parties List System (EPLS) sites have been replaced by the single System for

Award Management (SAM) website. Even if you have valid registrations in CCR and ORCA, you must register your entity for Government Contracting in SAM before you can submit invoices and have them approved for payment. For more information on SAM visit http://www.sam.gov/. If you or your customers http://www.ecmra.mil/ require any assistance with SAM (troubleshooting, data concerns, general information, etc.), contact the Federal

Service Desk at fsd.gov or by telephone at 1-866-606-8220.

Again, you will not be able to SUBMIT and BE APPROVED FOR PAYMENT of any invoices from this resultant contract until you have been properly registered and accepted in the SAM database system.

Steps to Registering as a Federal Contractor in SAM

1. Obtain a D-U-N-S Number

You will need to obtain a Dun & Bradstreet D-U-N-S® Number (if you do not already have one). This is a unique nine-digit identification number for each physical location of your business. The assignment of a D- U-N-S Number is free for all businesses required to register with the federal government for contracts or grants. Visit the D-U-N-S Request Service (http://www.sba.gov/leaving-sba-dot-gov?url=http%3A%2 F%2Ffedgov.dnb.com%2Fwebform%2FdisplayHomePage.do%3Bjsessionid%3D81407B1F03F2BDB123DD 47D19158B75F) to register or read a quick overview here (http://www.sba.gov/content/getting-d-u-n-s-number).

2. Register your Business with the System of Award Management (SAM)

You need to register your business with the federal government's SAM (http://www.sam.gov/), the primary database of vendors doing business with the federal government. Federal Acquisitions Regulations (FAR) requires all prospective vendors to be registered in SAM prior to the award of a contract, basic agreement, basic ordering agreement, or blanket purchase agreement. The use of SAM will allow you to register your business size and socio-economic status while completing the required solicitation clauses and certification. By completing your required solicitation clauses and certifications you certify that the information provided about your company and its business activities are correct. The certification information that you will be asked on SAM is explained in the Federal Acquisitions Regulations, Section 52.212-3 (https://www.acquisition.gov/far/current/html/52_212_213.html) Offeror’s Representations and Certifications - Commercial Items. Steps for registering in SAM are as follows:

a) Go to https://sam.gov

b) Click on Create an Account

c) Choose Individual account

d) Provide the requested information and submit

e) Receive the email from “notifications” and click through the sam.gov link to validate your account

f) Log in at https://sam.gov with the username and password you created

Steps to migrate your old accounts (CCR, ORCA, FedReg, EPLS) into SAM once registered can be found below:

a) If you had access to edit a record in CCR, you need to migrate your CCR account before you can edit that record in SAM. If that CCR record has an associated ORCA record, once you migrate the CCR account, you will also have access to the ORCA record.

b) If you had access to edit a record in FedReg, you need to migrate your FedReg account before you can edit that record in SAM.

c) If you had exclusions roles in EPLS, you need to migrate your EPLS account.

d) If you had CCR Tools – Proprietary access you DO NOT need to migrate that role. Your account was created for you, your role was migrated for you. You received an email from askSAM@gsa.gov regarding the process for getting access to your account.

e) If you had other roles in SAM (e.g., CCR Tools – Sensitive access, the ability to edit an entity record, the ability to add exclusions), then you can migrate those roles after you create your account in SAM.

3. Find the NAICS Codes for Your Company

You may also find that you need a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code for administrative, contracting and tax purposes. The code classifies the economic sector, industry and country of your business. For Federal contracting purposes, you will need to identify in SAM all the NAICS codes (industries) applicable to your business. Read Identifying Industry Codes (http://www.sba.gov/content/identifying-industry-codes) for more information. If migrating your CCR and ORCA account into SAM, your NAICS codes in those systems should transfer over.

Items Needed for Registration

Below are some of the items that you will need in order to complete the registration processes.

Your NAICS (http://www.census.gov/naics/2007/index.html) codes

Your Data Universal Numbering System (DUNS) [http://www.sba.gov/leaving-sba-dot-gov?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.dnb.com%2Fus%2F]

a) The Government may elect to issue a solicitation for proposals, and state in the solicitation that it is for on-ramping of a previously solicited and awarded IDIQ contract. The solicitation shall state that future

IDIQ task or delivery orders will be competed amongst those Contractors who have been awarded an

IDIQ. The solicitation will have the same evaluation criteria as this initial solicitation.

b) The Government may elect to notify offerors that submitted proposals that were deemed technically unacceptable at the time of initial evaluations and award about the on-ramp solicitation. These offerors may submit a proposal in response to the on-ramp solicitation. The newly submitted proposal would be evaluated in accordance with the same evaluation criteria set forth in this solicitation and would have to be determined Technically Acceptable.

c) In addition, the Government may elect to solicit new vendors for On-Ramp opportunities by announcing the On-Ramp through formal Army Single Face to Industry (AFSI) posting. Any such offers submitted would be evaluated using the same evaluation criteria as set forth in this solicitation and would have to be determined Technically Acceptable.

d) Upon receipt of proposals and closing of solicitation, the Government would evaluate the proposals and determine if and how many proposals will receive an award. IDIQs awarded under On-Ramp procedures would have the exact same terms and conditions as any of the initial awards and all IDIQ awardees would have to compete for delivery order awards in accordance with FAR Part 16.

In order to determine if an On-Ramp is appropriate, the Government will assess the quality of performance by each

IDIQ awardee, the number, value and volume of work assigned to each awardee and amount of competition achieved. In addition , the Government will assess the internal transaction cost for issuing each order, the amount of small business participate, whether revisions are needed to the Performance Work Statement, and if the ceiling amount of the contract needs to be revised. Based on these criteria, if it is in the best interest of the Government, the

Contracting Officer may elect to initiate the On-Ramp procedures described above to add additional IDIQ holders to this effort.

Assessing Official/(AO) COR or TPOC The AO is responsible for overall program execution and is responsible for preparing, reviewing, signing, and processing the CPAR. The CPAR should be completed not later than 60 calendar days after the end of the evaluation period. AOs are encouraged to discuss contract performance with the contractor during the performance period and CPAR process. The AO must be a Government employee.

AOs are responsible for:

• Ensuring that the contract is registered in CPARS

• Input of evaluation information

• Providing a timely and quality narrative “Validate and Send to the Assessing Official”

• Assisting the RO, as necessary

TO BE FURNISHED AT TIME OF AWARD

• Finalizes the CPAR report after acceptance by the Contractor Representative

Designated Contractor Representative The contractor shall designate representatives to whom the evaluations will be sent automatically and electronically. The name, title, e-mail address and phone number of the designated contractor representative shall be provided to the AO who will, in turn, provide that information to the

Activity CPARS Focal Point for authorization access. Any changes in designated contractor personnel shall be the sole responsibility of the contractor to inform the AO and the Activity CPARS Focal Point. The designated contractor representative has the authority to:

• Receive the Government evaluation from the AO

• Review/comment/return evaluation to AO within 30 calendar days.

• Provide narrative comment (the RO’s comments supplement those provided by the AO; they do not replace the ratings/narratives provided by the AO)

• Sign the CPAR (at this point, it is considered final and is posted in the CPARS AIS and is available for source selection official use in the PPIRS)

Training for all persons responsible for the preparation and review of performance assessments is available online at https://www.cpars.gov/cpcbtdlf.htm.

Frequency of Reporting

Interim Reports: An interim CPAR is limited to contractor performance occurring after the preceding CPAR. To improve efficiency in preparing the CPAR, it is recommended that the CPAR be completed together with other reviews (e.g., award fee determinations, major program events, program milestones and quality assurance surveillance records).

Interim Reports for New Contracts: An interim CPAR is required for new contracts meeting the thresholds identified in Table 1 that have a period of performance greater than 365 calendar days. The first interim CPAR must reflect evaluation of at least the first 180 calendar days of performance under the contract, and may include up to the first 365 calendar days of performance. For contracts with a period of performance of less than 365 calendar days, see “Final Reports” below.

Annual Interim Reports: Interim CPARs are also required every 12 months throughout the entire period of performance of the contract up to the final report. An interim CPAR is also required:

• Upon a significant change within the agency, provided that a minimum of six months of performance has occurred, such as: Change in program or project management responsibility or Transfer of contract, BPA, or BOA order to a different contracting activity.

• An interim CPAR shall be started prior to transfer of Assessing Official Representative or Assessing Official duties from one individual to another if there is six or more months performance to go prior to the next CPAR to ensure continuity.

Final Report: A final CPAR will be completed upon contract completion or delivery of the final major end item on contract. Final Reports are to be prepared on all contracts meeting the thresholds established with a period of performance of less than 365 calendar days. The final CPAR does not include cumulative information but is limited https://www.cpars.gov/cpcbtdlf.htm to the period of contractor performance occurring after the preceding CPAR. The CPAR Focal Point has the authority to approve extensions when special circumstances arise.

Addendum Reports: Addendum reports may be prepared, after the final past performance evaluation, to record the contractor’s performance relative to contract closeout, warranty performance and other administrative requirements.

Quality review of the entire evaluation consists of:

• Forwarding the Government evaluation information to the contractor (check with local policy whether the RO or

Contracting Officer should be forwarded a copy prior to its submittal to the contractor)

• Reviewing comments from the designated contractor representative once the evaluation has been returned by the contractor or after 30 calendar days have lapsed

• Modifying the CPAR comments and/or ratings after review of contractor comments, as determined by the AO.

After receiving and reviewing the contractor’s comments on the CPAR, the AO may revise the assessment, including the narrative. The AO will notify the contractor of any revisions made to a report as a result of the contractor’s comments. Such a revised report will not be sent to the contractor for further comment. The contractor will have access to both the original and revised reports in the CPARS AIS when the Government finalizes the evaluation.

• Forwarding evaluations to the RO which are in disagreement or when requested by the contractor or, in the alternative,

• Completing the evaluation if it does not require further RO review.

APG-ADL-h.5152.246-4401 KEY PERSONNEL (FEB 2000)

The Contractor shall notify the Government in the event of a transition (replacing or removal) of key personnel

(those individuals addressed in the Contractors proposal) working under this contract. The Government reserves the right to review the qualifications of any Contractor personnel proposed to replace existing personnel and accept/reject the individual based on its judgement that the individual can perform similarly as the transitioned personnel.
