SUMMARY OF CHANGES

SECTION A - SOLICITATION/CONTRACT FORM

The required response date/time has changed from 18-Sep-2017 11:00 AM to 18-Oct-2017 11:00 AM.

SECTION L - INSTRUCTIONS, CONDITIONS AND NOTICES TO BIDDERS

The following have been modified:

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

1.0 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION

1.0.1 This section provides general guidance, as well as specific instructions on format and content, for preparing proposals. The Offeror’s proposal must include all information requested and must be submitted in accordance with these instructions. Compliance with these instructions is mandatory and failure to furnish a complete proposal, at the time of proposal submission, may result in the proposal being unacceptable to the Government and may eliminate the Offeror from further consideration for award. It is the Offeror's responsibility to ensure the completeness of the proposal submitted. With respect to cost/price proposals, the burden of proof for credibility rests with each Offeror. Evaluation of a proposal will be conducted solely on the basis of the information contained within it and the Government will not assume that an Offeror possesses any capabilities not specified. Inconsistencies among the parts of each proposal shall be explained. Any unexplained inconsistency may raise a fundamental question of the Offeror's understanding of the requirement and/or ability to perform. Offerors are advised that their proposals are presumed to represent their best efforts and must complete responses to this Request for Proposal (RFP). Proposals that simply reiterate the contents of this RFP, or contain only superficial responses, may be considered unacceptable. Evidence of experience, capability, and qualifications that clearly demonstrate and support the Offeror’s claims are essential. The absence of such evidence will adversely influence the evaluation of the proposal. Instructions contained herein, 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 provide for the understanding and comprehensive evaluation of proposals.

1.2 POINT OF CONTACT

All questions, concerns, or clarifications shall be addressed to the Procuring Contracting Officer (PCO) listed below as the sole point of contact for this acquisition. All questions concerning this RFP MUST be received by 25 August 2017. All inquiries must be made in writing and submitted electronically to the Contract Specialist with a copy to the PCO. The SUBJECT LINE shall be “W911SF-16-R-0012, Question, ATTN: Katie Washington.” Offerors will receive a notice of receipt, but if they do not, it is their responsibility to follow-up electronically with the points of contact listed below:

Procuring Contracting Officer:

Katie C. Washington Email: usarmy.benning.hqda-aca.mbx.micc-ft-benning-migration@mail.mil

Contract Specialist:

Areatha M. Thomas Email: usarmy.benning.hqda-aca.mbx.micc-ft-benning-migration@mail.mil

1.3 PROPOSAL CLARITY

The proposal shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail enabling effective evaluation to substantiate the validity of stated claims. The proposal shall not simply rephrase or restate the Government’s requirements, but shall provide convincing rationale to address how the Offeror intends to meet the requirements. The Government will consider statements and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used", etc.

unacceptable. The Offeror shall assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of the Offeror’s capabilities or experience; and as such, the Government will base its evaluation solely on the information presented in its proposal and information obtained through sources identified in past performance. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 Alternate I (f)(4), the Government intends on conducting discussions with offerors whose proposals have been determined to be in the competitive range.

1.4 RESTRICTIONS ON DISCLOSURE AND USE OF PROPOSAL

A proposal may include data, such as technical designs or concepts, financial data, or management plans that the Offeror does not want disclosed to the public for any reason, or used by the Government for any purpose other than proposal evaluation and contract award. If the Offeror wishes to restrict the proposal, the Offeror shall mark it in accordance with FAR 52.215- 1(e).

1.5 DISPOSITION OF PROPOSALS

In accordance with FAR Subpart 4.8, Government Contract Files, the Government will retain the “original” copy of all proposals and supplemental documents provided. Unless the Offeror requests otherwise, at the completion of this acquisition the Government will destroy all extra copies of proposals and additional documents submitted.

1.6 POST AWARD NOTICES & DEBRIEFINGS

Post-award notices and debriefings will be conducted in accordance with FAR 15.506. The PCO will notify unsuccessful Offerors in accordance with FAR 15.503. Upon such notification, unsuccessful Offerors may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505 or

15.506. Offerors desiring debriefings must make their requests in accordance with the requirements of FAR 15.505 or 15.506 as applicable.

1.7 RESTRICTIONS OF CONTACTS

Concurrent with the release of this RFP, appropriate offices will be advised that a source selection action is in progress for the proposed award and that contact by participating Offerors on the subject of this RFP is inappropriate. Recipients of this RFP shall not attempt contact with other parties apart from the PCO and Contract Specialist identified in paragraph 1.1 during this period.

1.8 PRE-AWARD SURVEY

A pre-award survey may be accomplished on all Offerors submitting proposals to supplement the determination of contractor responsibility as defined in FAR 9.1. The Offeror shall be required to participate in a pre-award survey for the purpose of determining its financial and technical ability to perform. The pre-award survey is conducted with the assistance of the Offeror’s cognizant Government Contract Administration Office to determine its eligibility and ability to perform. Refusal to participate in a pre-award survey and failure to provide all requested information may be cause for rejection of the offer.

The pre-award survey may include performance of a formal financial capability risk assessment or an audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (DCAA), or Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA), or other personnel assigned by the PCO to perform the task. This effort would be performed in accordance with DFARS 232.072-1 and the information required for an audit would include, but not be limited to, the information identified in DFARS 232.072-2. The contractor agrees to provide the financial information for such financial capability effort in a timely manner. The Offeror must state whether or not DCMA, or DCAA has conducted a financial assessment within the 12-month period prior to proposal submission; and if so, provide evidence of the assessment results. Offerors that have not had a financial assessment within the 12-month period prior to proposal submission shall request a Financial Capability Risk Assessment by submitting the following information by email to the PCO. This request should be accomplished upon receipt of the RFP, but no later than 15 days after release of the RFP. Failure to provide the requested data could cause the Offeror to be determined financially irresponsible as discussed in FAR 9.103(b).

1) Company’s Full Name

2) DUNS Number and Cage Code

3) Address (where accounting records are held)

4) Company Point of Contact

5) POC Phone Number

6) Cognizant DCMA/DCAA Office (address, phone number, POC, email address

7) Indicate if you are proposing as a prime, JV, or team member

1.9 DISCREPANCIES

If an Offeror believes that the requirements in these instructions contain an error, omission, or are otherwise unsound, the Offeror shall immediately notify the PCO in writing with supporting rationale. The Offeror is reminded that the Government reserves the right to award this effort based on the initial proposal, as received, without discussion.

1.10 EVALUATION NOTICE (EN)

If any additional exchanges are required, a written EN will be sent to the Offeror. Offerors will be allowed sufficient time to submit written responses.

1.11 EVALUATION

The selection of a source for award purposes will be conducted using source selection (negotiated) procedures as delineated in FAR Part 15.3. Proposals will be evaluated IAW Section M of the RFP, Evaluation Factors for Award. The Offeror’s responses to this RFP will be used as a validation tool for the Offeror’s capabilities in reference to, and understanding of, the mission capability factors. Failure to comply with the RFP will render the proposal unacceptable, and may eliminate the proposal from consideration for contract award.

2.1 PROPOSAL FORMAT AND PREPARATION INSTRUCTIONS

2.2 PROPOSAL FORMAT

In the case of an identified dispute or variation in content, the electronic submitted proposal shall be deemed and treated as the official version for all purposes. Each CD-ROM case and the CD-ROM itself must be labeled as to the Offeror and numbered sequentially in the required number of copies.

7.3.2.5 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.

7.3.2.6 Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheet - Sheets shall be in accordance with Attachment #6 and are limited to five (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 of work, size, scope 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, scope 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. The Offeror shall submit a minimum of five (5) but no more than a total of eight (8) Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets identifying active or completed contracts, either Government or commercial. Limits on Specific Relevant Contract Reference Sheets are as follows:

The points of contact shall return the questionnaires directly to Katie Washington, Contracting Officer (Email: usarmy.benning.hqda-aca.mbx.doc-offer@mail.mil) not later than the proposal due date and time. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the Contracting Officer 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 questionnaires cannot be provided.

7.3.3.1 Offerors shall provide a summary list of questionnaire recipients to include POCs and phone numbers.

A separate cost proposal must be submitted using cost summary format provided. The transition phase-in, base year and each option year shall be segregated.

8.2.2 8.2.1 COST/PRICE REASONABLENESS AND REALISM

These instructions provide the Offeror guidance in submitting data other than certified cost or pricing data that is required to evaluate the reasonableness and realism of their proposed cost/price. Failure to comply with such guidance may result in rejection of your proposal. The cost proposal shall be sufficiently detailed to determine the reasonableness and realism of the proposed costs plus fixed fee.

8.2.3 COST/PRICE INFORMATION

All information relating to the proposed price including all required supporting documentation must be included in the section of the proposal designated as the Cost/Price volume. Under no circumstances shall this information and documentation be included elsewhere in the proposal.

8.2.4 COST OR PRICING INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

8.2.4.1 A request for Certified Cost or Pricing Data is not anticipated for the award of this contract since adequate competition is expected; however, the Government reserves the right to request such information should it become necessary consistent with Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) Subpart 15.4, Contract Pricing. Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data is required to determine the proposed price fair, reasonable, and realistic and shall be submitted in the Labor Pricing Matrix spreadsheet provided at Attachment #7.

8.2.4.2 Data Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data is required for the Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF) Contract Line Item Numbers (CLINs).

8.2.4.3 Only CLIN level pricing information is required for the Firm Fixed Price (FFP) CLIN;

however, if reasonableness cannot be established based on price analysis, then other than certified cost and pricing data may be required.

8.3 Cost/Pricing Volume Content

The format of the Cost/Price volume shall be as follows:

Tab 1: Table of Contents, Glossary, and Definitions Tab 2: Estimating System/Methodology Tab 3: Accounting System Tab 4: Identification of Subcontract Effort Tab 5: Cost and Supporting Information Tab 6: Additional Information

8.3.1 Tab 1 – Table of Contents, Glossary, and Definitions

Offerors shall provide a detailed table of contents for this volume and provide a glossary of all abbreviations and acronyms used, with an explanation for each. However, use of abbreviations and acronyms should be limited. Offerors shall provide definitions as necessary.

8.3.2 Tab 2 – Estimating System/Methodology

Offerors shall provide a summary description of their standard estimating system or methods, current policies, and/or new policies. Offerors shall state whether they have Government approval of their estimating system and if so, provide evidence of such approval. Offerors shall also provide any known/cited estimating system deficiencies and identify any deviations from their established/standard estimating procedures used in preparing this proposal. See paragraph

8.3.5.4 regarding requirements for detailed basis of estimate narratives.

8.3.3 Tab 3 – Accounting System

Offerors shall state whether they have Government approval of their accounting system and if so, provide evidence of such approval. In accordance with FAR 16.306(c), no Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) contract may be awarded unless the limitations at FAR 16.301-3 and 15.404-4(c)(4)(i) are met. Therefore, no award can be made from this solicitation to an Offeror whose accounting system has not been determined to be adequate for cost-reimbursement contracts. This affects all team members/subcontractors if the prime anticipates awarding cost-reimbursement contracts to any of the subcontractors. If no cost-reimbursement subcontracts are to be awarded, the Offeror shall so state. If cost-reimbursement subcontracts are to be awarded, the Offeror shall provide the necessary information from the subcontractors. Offerors and subcontractors with cost-reimbursable contracts without an adequate accounting system shall email the Contracting Officer to initiate an accounting system review by DCAA. This request shall be submitted immediately upon receipt of the RFP but no later than 15 days after release of the RFP. Offerors are encouraged to initiate this process immediately. Note: if other than Firm Fixed Price or cost-reimbursable subcontracts will be written, the Offeror must justify the contract type. Note that an adequate accounting system is not an evaluation criterion but rather a regulatory requirement. An opinion rendered by a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) cannot be substituted for the Government determination.

8.3.4 Tab 4 – Identification of Subcontract Effort

Offerors shall provide the information required by FAR 52.215-22, Excessive Pass-Through Charges – Identification of Subcontract Effort. If the Offeror subcontracts more than 70% of the total cost of work to be performed the Offeror must comply with the requirements of this provision.

8.3.5 Tab 5 – Cost and Supporting Information

Offerors shall propose an estimated cost and fixed fee for each CPFF CLIN and a firm fixed price for each FFP CLIN in Schedule B. The Government has stated the ceiling cost for Other Direct Costs (ODC) and Material. No fee will be paid on materials and ODCs. Funding and ceiling amount will be included on the contract when awarded.

8.3.5.1 These Cost Proposal Instructions are applicable to subcontractors who are anticipated to have 10% or more of the anticipated labor effort. The Offeror is required to support subcontracts to the same level of detail and information as required from the prime Offeror. Proprietary subcontractor data may be submitted directly to the Government in accordance with Proposal Preparation Instructions in this announcement.
