3. The Offer. The submission of the documentation specified below will constitute the offerors’ acceptance of the terms and conditions of the RFP and concurrence with the Performance Work Statement and contract type.

4. Noncompliance with the Request for Proposal (RFP) requirements may hamper the Government's ability to properly evaluate the proposal and may result in the proposal’s elimination from further consideration for contract award.

5. The Government intends to evaluate offers and award a contract without discussions with offerors. Therefore, the Offerors’ initial offer should contain the offerors’ best terms from a price and technical standpoint. However, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if later determined by the Contracting Officer to be necessary.

The Government may reject any or all offers if such action is in the public interest; accept other than the lowest offer; and minor irregularities in offers received.

6. Instructions outlined in paragraph D below, prescribe the format for the proposal, and describe the approach for the development and presentation of proposal data. These instructions are designed to ensure the submission of necessary information to understand and evaluate proposals.

7. If an offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, an ambiguity, omission, the offeror shall immediately notify the contract specialist in writing with supporting rationale. The Government reserves the right to award this contract based on the initial proposals, as received, without discussions.

8. In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8 (Government Contract Files), the Government will retain one copy of all unsuccessful proposals. Unless the offeror requests otherwise, the Government will destroy extra copies of such unsuccessful proposals.

9. Debriefings. The contract specialist will promptly notify offeror’s of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range, whereupon they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505. The Government will notify offerors who were in the competitive range that the Government did not select for award in accordance with FAR 15.503(b). Upon such notification, unsuccessful offeror’s may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.506.

10. All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on the Contracting Opportunities website at https://www.sam.gov. Potential offeror’s are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/your-health/covid-by-county.html)

Pierce County COVID-19 Community Level has dropped to MEDIUM and WA State ended the requirement for mandatory mask wear indoors effective 11 MAR. IAW both State and CDC guidance, mask wear is optional on JBLM, unless Pierce County returns to HIGH COVID-19 Community Levels :

When CDC COVID-19 Community Level for Pierce County rises to HIGH—indoor mask wearingwill be required for vaccinated and unvaccinated, weekly screening tests for unvaccinated personnel is required for access to DoD facilities

When CDC COVID-19 Community Level for Pierce County is MEDIUM —indoor mask wearing is not required for vaccinated or unvaccinated IAW CDC recommendations, weekly screening tests for unvaccinated personnel required for access to DoD facilities.

When CDC COVID-19 Community Level for Pierce County drops to LOW — indoor mask wearing will not be required for vaccinated or unvaccinated IAW CDC recommendations, screening testing for unvaccinated personnel not required for access to DoD facilities o NOTE: Updated masking guidance does not apply to Madigan or other MTFs. Mask wear continues to be required when presenting for medical care. Regardless of CDC COVID-19 Community Level all personnel can choose to continue masking on an individual basis.

Current Pierce County COVID-19 Community Levels are updated by the CDC weekly, accordingly masking policies are subject to change.

4. Offerors are urged and expected to inspect the site where the work will be performed and to satisfy themselves regarding all general and local conditions that may affect the cost of contract performance, to the extent that the information is reasonably obtainable, and to attend the pre-proposal conference. The purpose of this site visit and the conference is to eliminate any possible misunderstandings of the terms of the solicitation.

In the case of a joint venture, the prime offeror joint venture should demonstrate successful experience and past performance as that joint venture, as well as each member of the joint venture as applicable. Failure to provide the past performance data/information requested can result in a proposal being determined to be noncompliant and may be eliminated from further consideration.

c) 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 Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) or similar systems, Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) and commercial sources. Offerors are reminded that both independent data and data provided by offeror 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 offeror. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government.

d) In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305(a)(2)(iv)) and, as a result, will receive an "Acceptable" rating for the Past Performance factor. All past performance comments received will be taken into account and could affect the overall rating.

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

(1) Table of Contents

(2) Consent Letters (Attachment 4): 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.

(3) Client Authorization Letters: For each identified effort for a commercial customer authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the offeror’s performance under a specific contract.

(4) Organization 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 the company. As part of this explanation, show how these changes impact the relevance of any efforts identified 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 identified and general enough to apply to efforts on which the Government receives information from other sources.

(5) Specific Relevant Contracts Format (Attachment 2): is limited to three (3) pages per reference and a maximum of five (5) references total. 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 specific narrative explanation and rationale supporting objectives achieved and 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. For any contracts that did not/do not meet original schedule or technical performance requirements, provide a brief explanation of the reason(s) for the shortcomings and any corrective action(s) taken to avoid recurrence. The offerors shall list each time the delivery schedule was revised and provide an explanation of why the revision was necessary. The offerors shall also provide a copy of any Cure Notices or Show Cause Letters received on each contract listed and a description of any corrective action implemented by the offeror or proposed subcontractor. The offerors shall indicate if any of the contracts listed were terminated and the type and reasons for the termination. Additionally, provide a narrative describing any litigation activity (i.e. bond claims, liquidated damages, insurance actions, or claims related to project performance, etc.) that the Offeror has been, or is currently party to involving its subcontractors, customers or any Surety within the past six

(6) years from date of solicitation issuance. The narrative should include the Parties involved, the magnitude of the Claim and the resolution.

f) Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 3): is 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 scott.a.byrd.civ@army.mil or thomas.r.williams60.civ@army.mil not later than 2:00 PM PDT, 9 May 2022. Any questionnaires not returned directly to scott.a.byrd.civ@army.mil or thomas.r.williams60.civ@army.mil will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the offeror’s past performance. New entities formed for the purpose of proposing on this solicitation (joint venture, teaming partners, or mentor protégé) that have no past performance history under that business arrangement are permitted to submit past performance information for the individual entities forming the arrangement.

12. Exceptions

a. Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, such as terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors or subfactors.

Each exception shall be specifically related to each paragraph and/or specific part of the solicitation to which the exception is taken. Offerors are cautioned that taking an exception may render the offer ineligible for award. It is recommended that the Offeror contact the KO through scott.a.byrd.civ@army.mil or thomas.r.williams60.civ@army.mil immediately/prior to solicitation closing upon identifying an area that may result in an exception.
