The following have been modified:

ADDENDUM TO FAR 52.212-1

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS – COMMERCIAL ITEMS

1. Proposal Submission Instructions. Proposals shall be submitted electronically via email and are due no later than 12:00 PM Eastern Time on 04 May 2022 as specified at Block 8 of the 1449 and must conform to the requirements of this Request for Proposal (RFP) and its attachments. RFP responses shall be submitted prior to the closing date and time identified above electronically through email to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Katie Derra at katie.e.derra.civ@army.mil and the Contracting Officer, James Brown III at james.c.brown228.civ@army.mil. It is the Offeror’s responsibility to assure its proposal is received by the date and time specified above. In accordance with FAR 52.212-1(f), Offerors are responsible for submitting offers, and any modifications, revisions, or withdrawals, so as to reach the Government office (Contracting Officer's email inbox and Contracting Specialist's email inbox) at the email addresses designated above, by the local time and date specified in Block 8 of the 1449.

Any offer, modification, revision, or withdrawal of an offer received in the Contracting Officer's and Contract Specialist's email inbox after the exact time specified for receipt of offers is "late”. Offerors are hereby notified that the Government will not reimburse costs incurred for proposal preparation.

2. Deadline for Questions. The point of contact responsible for answering all inquiries and supplying additional information is the Contracting Officer via the Contract Specialist. Address all questions or concerns the offeror may have to the Contract Specialist, Ms. Katie Derra at katie.e.derra.civ@army.mil and the Contracting Officer, James Brown III at james.c.brown228.civ@army.mil. Any questions submitted will need to identify the pertinent document (Performance Work Statement (PWS), Solicitation Attachment, Solicitation Technical Exhibit, etc.) and include the applicable page number, paragraph number, and/or reference with each question. All correspondence shall reference Solicitation W91247-22-R-0010. The cut-off for questions is 18 April 2022 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

All questions will be answered electronically so that all offerors will see both the question and the answer. However, the identity of the person/company asking the question will not be disclosed.

3. General Instructions.

a. This requirement will be awarded on a Lowest Price Technically Acceptable basis considering two factors:

Technical Capability and Price. The Request for Proposal (RFP) will be issued as a commercial item acquisition under the procedures set forth in FAR Parts 12, Acquisition of Commercial Items, 15, Contracting by Negotiation, and 19, Small Business Programs.

b. The submission of the documentation specified below will constitute the offeror's acceptance of the terms and conditions of the RFP, concurrence with the Performance Work Statement, and contract type.

c. It is the Government’s intention to award without discussions although the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions, if warranted. Offerors shall present their best technical proposal and pricing in their initial proposal submission. However, in accordance with (IAW) FAR Part 15.306, should discussions become necessary, the Government reserves the right to hold them. If this occurs, a competitive range may be determined and offerors notified. The Contracting Officer may limit the competitive range for purposes of efficiency IAW FAR Part 15.306(c)(2). The Contracting Officer will promptly notify offerors of any decision to exclude them from the competitive range, whereupon they may request and receive a debriefing in accordance with FAR 15.505.

d. 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.

e. If an offeror believes the requirements in these instructions contain an error, an ambiguity, omission, or are otherwise deemed unsound, the offeror shall immediately notify the Contracting Officer 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.

f. All referenced documents for this solicitation are available on web site at http://www.sam.gov. Potential Offerors are encouraged to subscribe for real-time e-mail notifications when information has been posted to the website for this solicitation.

4. Proposal Preparation Instructions.

a. General: These proposal instructions 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. Noncompliance with the RFP requirements may hamper the Government's ability to properly evaluate the proposal and may result in elimination of the proposal from further consideration for contract award.

b. Offeror’s proposal will consist of two (2) volumes: Technical Capability and Price. Electronic copies of all two

(2) volumes shall be provided. Page limitations are indicated in Table 1 below:

Table 1

VOLUME TITLE FORMAT PAGE

Volume I Factor 1: Techncial Capabilty MS Word 2017 or earlier compatibility and Adobe PDF

Volume II Factor 2: Price SF 1449, Section B (Services and Prices);

Pricing Narrative in MS Word and Price Matrix in MS Excel

None

c. Proposal Limitation: The proposal shall not exceed the page limits stated above. If the page limits are exceeded, the pages in excess of the limit shall be removed and will not be considered for evaluations. The Government will not accept any changes to the offeror’s proposal after the closing date of the solicitation (See FAR 52.212-1(f) for further information regarding late proposals). If discussions become necessary, page limitations may be placed on responses to Evaluation Notices (ENs). The specified page limits for EN responses will be identified in the letters forwarding the ENs to the offerors.

d. Page Limit Includes: All appendices, charts, graphs, diagrams, tables, photographs, drawings, etc.

e. Page Limit does not include the labor category descriptions, technical experience submission, 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.

Pages 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. Additionally, page limits do not apply to discussion of Organizational Conflicts of Interest including, if necessary, an OCI mitigation plan.

f. What counts as a page? A page shall be an 8 ½ X 11” digital format. When both sides of a sheet display printed material, it shall be counted as two pages. The Offeror shall number each page in order to eliminate any confusion.

In the event the contractor creates an ambiguity in their numbering of pages, the Government may exercise its own discretion in counting pages.

g. Indexing. Each volume shall contain a more detailed table of contents to delineate the subparagraphs within that volume.

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

5. Proposal Content.

a. Volume I – Technical Capability. The Technical Volume shall be clear, concise, and include sufficient detail for effective evaluation and for substantiating the validity of stated claims in the Offeror’s proposal.

Legibility, clarity and coherence are very important. Your responses will be evaluated against the Technical factors defined in Addendum to FAR Clause 52.212-2, Evaluation – Commercial Items. The Offeror should address, as specifically as possible, the actual methodology used for accomplishing the PWS requirements. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather should 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 raise questions regarding an Offeror’s technical ability to perform the services contained herein and may be grounds to eliminate the proposal from further consideration for contract award. Offerors should assume that the Government has no prior knowledge of their experience, and that it will base its evaluation on the information presented in the Offeror’s proposal.

(i) The Offeror shall provide a plan demonstrating an understanding of the requirement and how the tasks in the PWS would be fulfilled. Please note the Offeror shall include in its plan, details regarding the six (6) non-tactical, dual axle, commercial vehicles, 4x4 extended cab trucks, which it proposes to use, if awarded the contract, and how the Offeror will ensure that it will provide working vehicles throughout contract performance.

(ii) The Offeror shall provide a realistic and effective phase-in approach that demonstrates how the Offeror would be fully staffed and operational to perform all the PWS requirements within 30 days after award.

(iii) The Offeror shall provide an organizational chart with a detailed explanation of its organizational structure, including key positions, qualifications of the position(s), and if applicable, identify specific work the prime, subcontractors, or teaming partners would perform.

(iv) The Offeror shall provide a feasible staffing plan that meets the requirements of the PWS, the minimum staffing in Technical Exhibit 5, and meets the minimum qualifications for each labor category as identified in the PWS. The Offeror also shall provide a unpriced labor matrix by labor category, number of FTE’s, hours, skill level, SCA applicability, and how the staffing proposed can successfully perform each task area of the PWS, to include any cross-utilization.

b. VOLUME II – Price. Contract Pricing Schedule & Priced Labor Matrix. Pricing must be provided for all line items in order for an offeror to be considered for award. The Offeror shall do the following:

(i) The Offeror shall separately price CLINs. The Pricing Schedule (SF 1449, Section B -Services and Prices) shall be submitted fully completed and error free. It shall contain the Offeror’s prices for the established Contract Line Item Numbers (CLIN) which shall be based upon fully burdened rates inclusive of Program Management Support IAW the PWS. Offerors shall provide the proposed prices for all CLINs in the Schedule, including Base Year, Option Period 1, Option Period 2, Option Period 3, Option Period 4. Prices for each year and the total of all CLIN prices shall also be provided. The Offeror shall provide a total price at the bottom of the Pricing Schedule for all CLINs (insert all total price under the Table 1 provided - Total Proposed Prices).

Submit prices out to a maximum of two decimal points. If prices are proposed to more than two decimal points, the Government will round down the number to two decimal points. As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services IAW FAR Clause 52.217-8 by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Offerors should not enter a price for that six-month period.

(ii) The Offeror shall submit a price matrix that mimics the un-priced labor matrix. The price matrix shall be submitted in Microsoft Excel format, should break out the fully burdended rate and contain a separate summary tab and a tab for each period of performance (Phase-in, Base, Option 1, Option 2, Option 3, and Option 4). The summary tab totals all periods of performance. Formulas used to calculate all prices shall be reflected in the electronic spreadsheets. Excel workbooks shall not contain hidden spreadsheets, and no links should exist to files not included with the submission.The Government reserves the right to require the submission of Other Than Certified Cost or Pricing Data as is deemed necessary to arrive at a fair and reasonable price.
