Recent is defined as within the past three (3) calendar years from the closing date of this RFP. Relevant is defined as work performed that is similar to that anticipated by the PWS.

Each narrative shall also include contract number and amount: the name, telephone number, and email address of the Government representative who can verify 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 Addendum 52.212-2.

Past Performance information described herein is required on the offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 50% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price.

1. 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 services for the submitted data. The past performance data shall document a successful history of past contract performance.

2. 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. Proposals that do not contain the information requested by this paragraph risk rejection or a less than acceptable performance rating by the Government. 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.”

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

(d) Volume III- Price – The offeror shall complete SF1449 – Continuation Sheets -- Supplies or Services and Prices/Costs section of the solicitation. 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.

ADDENDUM 52.212-2

ADDENDUM TO 52.212-2

EVALUATION FACTORS FOR AWARD

a. Basis for Contract Award

(1) This is a best value 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 will be made to a single offeror who is deemed responsible in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR), whose proposal conforms to the solicitation requirements, and whose proposal, judged by an overall assessment of the evaluation criteria and other considerations specified in this solicitation, represents the Lowest Priced Technically Acceptable offer.

(2) Trade-offs between cost/price and non-cost/price factors are not permitted. Unreasonably high, unbalanced, inaccurate or incomplete price proposals, may be the grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

The Government will evaluate proposed prices for reasonableness using price analysis techniques. Proposed prices evaluated as unreasonable may be grounds for eliminating a proposal from competition.

b. Award for All of the Work. The Government intends to award 1 contract as a result of this solicitation. Offers received for less than the stated number of items listed in the Solicitation Schedule will be considered ineligible for award. As set forth in FAR 52.215-1 (f)(4), the Government intends to evaluate proposals and award a contract without discussions with offerors (except clarifications as described in FAR 15.306(a), Clarifications and award without discussions). Therefore, the offeror’s initial proposal should contain the offeror’s best terms from a cost or price and technical standpoint. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. In the event that discussions are held, a competitive range determination will be made. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

c. Evaluation Criteria

(1) The proposals will be evaluated under the following three evaluation factors:

Factor 1: Technical Capability Subfactor 1A: Technical Ability Subfactor 1B: Management Approach & Staffing Approach

Factor 2: Past Performance Factor 3: Price

(2) Factor 1 - Technical Capability. The Technical Factor evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s minimum requirements.

Factor 1 Capabilities consist of Two Subfactors: Subfactor 1A: Technical Ability Subfactor 1B:

Management Approach & Staffing Approach SUBFACTOR 1A: Technical Ability The proposal clearly demonstrates that the Offeror has a very good understanding of the entire requirement; has a very good methodology to perform all tasks successfully and on time, and has a very efficient, effective and sound approach to plan, organize, control and perform the major performance objectives. The proposal’s overall technical approach has little potential to disrupt or degrade performance or to increase costs.

SUBFACTOR 1B: Management Approach & Staffing Approach The proposal clearly demonstrates that the Offeror has very sound procedures to monitor and manage performance of all personnel, in all locations, to ensure timely quality work and to control costs. The proposal clearly demonstrates that the Offeror has offered properly qualified personnel in the appropriate labor categories to perform this requirement, has a very sound recruiting and retention plan to ensure the continued availability of properly qualified personnel and has a very efficient, effective and sound staffing approach that ensures an appropriate number of personnel are available to perform this requirement. The proposal’s overall management and staffing approach has little potential to disrupt or degrade performance or to increase costs.

The Technical Capabilities sub-factors will be assigned an adjectival rating of Acceptable or Unacceptable. The subfactor ratings will be used to determine an overall rating for the factor. If any sub-factor receives an Unacceptable rating, the overall Technical Capabilities factor will be rated Unacceptable.

Table A-1. Technical Acceptable / Unacceptable Ratings Rating Description Acceptable Proposal clearly meets the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Unacceptable Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

(3) Factor 2 – The Past Performance. The Past Performance evaluation will assess the offeror’s probability of meeting the solicitation’s requirements as indicated by that offeror’s record of past performance. Past Performance is assessed at the factor level after evaluation aspects of the offeror’s recent past performance and focusing on performance that is relevant to the services being procured under this solicitation. Offerors are cautioned that in conducting the performance the performance risk assessment, the Government may use data provided in the offeror’s proposal and data obtained from other sources, such as the Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) or similar systems and State Department Watch Lists. Past performance areas of evaluation include:

- Quality of Service

- Schedule

- Cost Control

- Customer Satisfaction

(a) Each offeror will receive a past performance evaluation rating based only on the Offeror's recent past performance that is relevant to the Contract requirements.

(b) Regency Assessment. An assessment of the past performance information will be made to determine if it is recent. To be recent, the effort must be ongoing or must have been performed during the past three years from the date of issuance of this solicitation. Past performance information that fails this condition will not be evaluated.

(c) Relevancy Assessment. To be relevant, the effort must be similar in nature of work, size, and complexity. The Government will conduct an in-depth evaluation of all recent performance information obtained to determine if it is the same or similar in nature of work, size, and complexity to the services/products being procured under this solicitation.

A relevancy determination of the offeror’s (including joint venture partner(s) and major and critical subcontractor(s)) past performance will be made. In determining relevancy for individual contracts, consideration will be given to the effort, or portion of the effort, being proposed by the offeror, teaming partner, or subcontractor whose contract is being reviewed and evaluated. In establishing what is relevant for the acquisition, consideration should be given to what aspects of an offeror’s contract history would give the most confidence that the offeror will satisfy the current procurement. The past performance information provided in the proposal and obtained from other sources will be used to establish the relevancy of past performance.

(d) The Past Performance Evaluation Team will review this past performance information and determine the quality and usefulness as it applies to performance confidence assessment.

(e) Assigning Ratings. The Past Performance Factor will be assigned one of the ratings defined below.

Table 4. Past Performance Evaluation Ratings Ratings Description Acceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the

Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown.

Unacceptable Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

(f) Offerors 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. Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

(4) Factor 4 – Price. Price will not be scored or rated. Evaluation of price will be performed using one or more of the price analysis techniques in FAR 15.404-1(b). Through these techniques the Government will determine whether prices are reasonable, complete and balanced.

Options. The Government will evaluate offers for award purposes by adding the total price for all options to the total price for the basic requirement. The Government may determine that an offer is unacceptable if the option prices are significantly unbalanced. Evaluation of options shall not obligate the Government to exercise the option(s). As part of price evaluation, the government will evaluate its option to extend services (see FAR Clause 52.217-8) by adding one-half of the offeror's final option period price to the offeror's total price. Thus, the offeror's total price for the purpose of evaluation will include the base period, 1st option and 1/2 of the 1st option. Offerors are not required to enter a price for the six-month period.

Unbalanced Pricing may be evaluated in accordance with FAR 15.404-1(g), as applicable, to assess potential performance risk which could result in unreasonably high prices definitions.

Reasonableness. A price is reasonable if, in its nature and amount, it does not exceed that which would be incurred by a prudent person in the conduct of competitive business.

Completeness/Accuracy. The offeror’s proposal is in compliance with the Price Volume instructions in the solicitation.

Part 1 General Information

1. GENERAL: This is a non-personal services contract to provide 17E Instructional Support as well as EW Range Operations for the Cyber School, Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE), Fort Gordon, Georgia. This effort will support the Cyber School in conducting U.S. Army Electronic Warfare training. The Government will not exercise any supervision or control over the contract service providers performing the services herein. Such contract service providers shall be accountable solely to the Contractor who, in turn, is responsible to the Government.

1.1 Description of Services/Introduction: The contractor shall provide Instructional Support for the U.S. Army Cyber School. The estimated staffing matrix can be found in Technical Exhibit 2. All Instructors associated with this effort shall instruct, update, and revise products in accordance with (IAW) Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) Regulation 350-70, TR PAM 350-70 Series (1-16) and all applicable regulations, Cyber School Training Development Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), and Higher Headquarters Guidance. All updated and revised products shall be submitted to the Government for review, approval, and submission to the appropriate agencies. Products shall be reviewed for educational soundness, conformance with the schools training philosophy, adherence to MOS training strategy, accuracy, deficiencies, and compliance with published guidance. In updating and revising products the instructors shall plan, organize, and carry out special studies, analysis, and evaluations effecting resident and nonresident training. The contractor shall provide EW Range Operations personnel to facilitate training at the EW range for all EW courses listed in this PWS as well as the 17E Senior Leader Course

(SLC) and 17E Advanced Leader Course (ALC). Range operations shall be performed by a blended workforce of Military and Contract personnel. The contractor shall conduct the EW Range for a minimum of 35 iterations, excluding range rehearsals. Systems to be trained and duration of training shall be identified in the course POIs.

These requirements are used to enhance the use of current and emerging technologies in all three Army training domains (institutional, operational, and self-development). Personnel shall be phased-in IAW paragraph 1.6.17 of this PWS. Material updated and revised shall facilitate adult learning through modern training techniques and methodologies and shall be Government-owned. Contract personnel shall meet the standards outlined IAW the requirements and deliverables of this acquisition.

As stated in Self Development for Cyber Warriors (Conti, Caroland, Cook, Taylor) "Aggressive self-development is a critical task for the cyber warfare professional. No matter the quality, formal training and education programs age poorly when facing the relentless advance of technology and agile adversaries. Self-development serves as a continuous complement to formal training and fosters the currency and depth of expertise a world class cyber workforce demands." In January 2009, the Army approved the first increment of the EW Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) and EW Functional Area (FA) authorizations supplemented by additional EW Additional Skill Identifier (ASI) 1J and 1K positions for units from the Army Service Component Command to the Company level. Subsequently, in October 2015 the responsibility for EW training was transferred from the Fires Center of Excellence to the Cyber Center of Excellence (CCoE). The CCoE established the U.S.

Army Cyber School with the Electronic Warfare Training Detachment (EWTD) as a tenant unit located at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Additionally, the EW Functional Area (FA29), the 290A EW Warrant Officer and the 29E EW Non- Commissioned Officer were re-designated as AOC 17B, MOS 170B, and MOS 17E, respectively. The EWTD will transition from Fort Sill, OK to be permanently located at Fort Gordon, GA during the life of this contract. This contract is to bridge the training capability gap for the 17E Advanced Individual Training (AIT) Courto ensure force projections are maintained while the courses are modernized and moved to the Cyber School campus at Fort Gordon, GA.
