f. Page Limit does not include the Executive Summary, covers for volumes, tables of contents, glossary of abbreviations and acronyms, indices, title pages, cross reference indices, and section dividers/tables if they are inserted solely to provide ease to the reader in locating parts/sections of the proposal. They will be counted if they contain any other information, i.e., diagrams, extraneous data, etc. Pages marked “This page intentionally left blank” will not be counted.

g. What Counts As A Page? A page shall be an 8 ½ X 11” sheet of paper. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two pages.

i. Glossary of Abbreviations and Acronyms. Each volume shall contain a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, with an explanation for each.

(3) Proposal Content

a. VOLUME I – TECHNICAL ACCEPTABILITY: The Technical Acceptability Volume shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims. Legibility, clarity and coherence are very important. Your responses will be evaluated against the Technical Acceptability Factor as defined in Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements; the proposal shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet these requirements. Statements that the Offeror understands, can, or will comply with the PWS (including referenced publications, technical data, etc.); statements paraphrasing the PWS or parts thereof (including applicable publications, technical data, etc.); and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., will be considered unacceptable and will negatively impact the Offerors rating under the Technical Acceptability factor. Offerors shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their facilities and experience, and will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror's proposal. Elaborate brochures or documentation, binding, detailed art work, or other embellishments are unnecessary and are not desired. The Technical Acceptability Volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

TAB A - Table of Contents

TAB B - Technical Acceptability:

i. TAB B1 - Technical Approach

ii. TAB B2 - Staffing Approach

iii. TAB B3 – Management Approach

TAB B - Technical Acceptability Content – The Technical Volume shall, at a minimum, be prepared in a form consistent with the Performance Work Statement (PWS) and the evaluation criteria for award set forth in Section M of this solicitation. The section shall be prepared in an orderly format and in sufficient detail to enable the Government to make a thorough evaluation of the contractor’s technical competence and ability to comply with the contract task requirements specified in the PWS. The offeror shall address as specifically as possible the actual methodology you would use for accomplishing the PWS tasks. The volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

i. TAB B1 – TECHNICAL APPROACH. Explain how Terrain Shaping Obstacle Support will be performed IAW the PWS and include a statement of whether or not the offeror has the facility clearance level required by PWS paragraph 5.1.

ii. TAB B2 - STAFFING APPROACH. Provide an organizational structure with lines of authority, reporting, and tracking that will ensure an orderly flow of work and responsiveness to all PWS requirements.

iii. TAB B3 – MANAGEMENT APPROACH. Identify how qualified Analyst will be recruited and retained to meet requirements

b. Volume II - Past Performance: The Past Performance evaluation will be accomplished by reviewing aspects of an Offeror's recent and relevant Past Performance, focusing on and targeting performance which is relevant to the effort as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation and as defined in Section M. Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 25% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price. The offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the offeror so the offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror's performance.

i. The offeror shall include documentation regarding their relevant past performance as it directly relates to the work being procured under this solicitation. The offeror SHALL NOT go back any farther than 3 years for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

ii. In conducting the Past Performance evaluation, the Government reserves the right to use both the information provided in the offeror’s Past Performance Volume and information obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System

(PPIRS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offerors in their proposals may be used by the Government to evaluate offeror past performance. However, the burden of providing thorough, complete, and current past performance information as requested in this paragraph remains with the offerors. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating. The overall past performance evaluation is a subjective decision based on the whole of all data received. In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance.

In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

iii. Submission Requirements. The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

Table of Contents Summary Page describing the role of the offeror and each subcontractor, teaming partner, and /or joint venture partner that the offeror is required to provide Past Performance Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets for the past performance experience in accordance with Section L, Attachment 1.

Consent Letters executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing the release of past performance information so the offeror can respond to such information. A sample consent letter is attached as Section L, Attachment 1).

Client Authorization Letters for each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance.

Organization Structure Change History— Organizational Structure Change History. Many companies have acquired, been acquired by, or otherwise merged with other companies, and/or reorganized their divisions, business groups, subsidiary companies, etc. In many cases, these changes have taken place during the time of performance of relevant present or past efforts or between conclusion of recent past efforts and this source selection. As a result, it is sometimes difficult to determine what past performance is relevant to this acquisition. To facilitate this relevancy determination, include in this proposal volume a "roadmap" describing all such changes in the organization of your company. 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), your "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.

Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Specific Relevant Contracts Format - Sheets in accordance with Section L, Attachment 2 and are limited to 5 pages per reference. The offeror shall provide documentation outlining the offeror’s past performance with contracts, as a prime or major subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the services being procured under this Solicitation. The submittal shall include rationale supporting your assertion of relevance and how it was determined that the work performed previously was the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the work specified by this solicitation. Offerors are required to explain what aspects of the contracts are deemed relevant to the proposed effort, and to what aspects of the proposed effort they relate.

iv. Past Performance Questionnaire - See Section L, Attachment 3, Past Performance

Questionnaire. For the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference, the offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to Contracting Officer at the address specified in L.1 by the proposal due date on the SF1449. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the KO will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance.

New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided.

c. VOLUME III – Price Proposal: Volume III must be clearly marked “VOLUME III –PRICE

PROPOSAL, W911S7-19-R-0010.” Electronic versions of the Price Proposal should be submitted on a CD in MS Office Excel format, and shall not be read only or password protected. All formulas, lookup tables, and links should be intact, and no links shall exist to files not included with the submission. Spreadsheets shall not contain hidden worksheets. PDF or flat files will not be considered adequate. The hard copy version will take precedence for any differences noted between the hard and electronic versions of the contractor’s proposal. Failure to follow the below Contract Proposal preparation instructions may cause your proposal to be deemed unacceptable by the Government.

Tab A – Price Proposal. The contractor shall submit the following documents as part of the Price Proposal:

a. The offeror shall provide a price for each CLIN included in Section B - Supplies or Services and Prices. The price for each CLIN must included the unit price and the extended amount.

The offeror shall also provide a price element breakdown for each CLIN included at Schedule B of the SF1449. The price element breakdown for each CLIN must include the following cost elements and the sum must equate to the CLIN’s unit price: (1) Materials and Supplies;

(2) Labor (Direct and Indirect); (3) General & Administrative (G&A); (4) Overhead; and (5) Profit. Separate Price breakdowns must be prepared for each contract period (base period and all option periods). The prices shall be consistent with the written portion of the technical proposal.

b. The offeror shall ensure the units prices are represented in whole dollars only.

c. The Government reserves the right to request Certified Cost or Pricing Data and Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data if the Government deems it necessary in order to determine price reasonableness. The offeror may provide background information, other than the pricing data that is required, concerning its pricing methodology. This information might include details of the methodology applicable to your offer. The data, if submitted, would be used by the government to better understand their pricing.

SECTION L, ATTACHMENT 1

SUBCONTRACTOR/TEAMING PARTNER CONSENT FORM FOR THE RELEASE OF PAST

PERFORMANCE INFORMATION TO THE PRIME CONTRACTOR

Past performance information concerning subcontractors and teaming partners cannot be disclosed to a private party without the subcontractor's or teaming partner's consent. Because a prime contractor is a private party, the Government will need that consent before disclosing subcontractor/teaming partner past and present performance information to the prime during exchanges. In an effort to assist the Government's Past Performance Evaluators in assessing your past performance relevancy and confidence, we request that the following consent form be completed by the major subcontractors/teaming partners identified in your proposal. The completed consent forms should be submitted as part of your Past Performance Volume III Proposal.

SAMPLE
