(b) Volume II – Technical

(1) 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 Section M, Evaluation Factors for Award. The proposal should not simply rephrase or restate the Government's requirements, but rather 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. 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.

(2) The Technical Capability Volume shall, at a minimum, be prepared in a form consistent with the 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 volume shall be organized according to the following general outline:

Tab A: Management Approach

i. An organizational chart identifying the management structure of key personnel with a description of roles and responsibilities required to fulfill the tasks outlines in this requirement.

ii. A narrative fully describing the management control system that will be used to effectively accomplish task simultaneously.

iii. Any other explanations or supporting data (matrix, charts, or other graphics) determined necessary for the Government to fully understand your methodology and approach;

Tab B: Staffing Approach (Corrected 3 Sep 19)

i. The offeror provided labor categories, number of personnel proposed for each labor category, associated labor hours deemed necessary to perform the requirements of the PWS for each performance period.

ii. The Offeror provided in detail a scheduling approach required to fullfill the requirements of the PWS.

iii. Job qualifications/certifications associated with each labor category that demonstrates the skills considered necessary for each labor category proposed.

(c) Volume III- Price – Electronic versions of the Price Proposal should be submitted 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 offeror shall complete Section B 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.

a. Schedule of Pricing. The offeror must submit a proposed unit price and amount for the Contract Line Item Number (CLIN) listed in the solicitation. The offeror shall separately price the Contractor Manpower Reporting CLIN. If the reporting of Manpower Equivalents is not separately priced, insert “NSP” in the blank shown. The Price Proposal(s) shall be organized as follows and contain the identified information.

(i) Exceptions/Assumptions. The contractor shall identify and explain any exceptions or deviations.

Additionally, any assumptions used in the Proposal preparation must be identified.

(ii) Schedule. The Pricing Schedule(s) shall be submitted fully completed. The Offeror shall indicate the price to be charged for each CLIN. Insert proposed unit price, and extended prices for the appropriate CLIN in the Pricing. The Offeror shall ensure the units prices are represented in two decimal positions only (example: $0.27, not $0.27458).

(iii) In accordance with the proposed instructions in FAR 52.212-1, the offer shall complete all CLINS including the total amount for each period and the total amount for total contract price. The Contractor shall include spreadsheet showing a roll up of these calculations (is CLIN, Option years and Total Contract Price).

VOLUME IV: 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 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 performing work that constitutes more than 25% of the total proposed cost of the contract. 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 performing work that constitutes more than 25% of the total proposed cost of the contract, 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

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

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.” Submission requirements: The offeror shall submit a Past Performance Volume containing the following:

(a) TAB A - Table of Contents

(b) TAB B 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 Attachment 5.

(c) TAB C 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 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.

(d) TAB D Specific Relevant Contracts Format. Sheets shall be in accordance with Attachment 6 and are limited to 3 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. The past performance information provided will be evaluated to determine the extent of:

a. Quality of Service

b. Similar Work Experience

c. Timeliness of Performance

d. Customer Satisfaction

2. Replace paragraph (c) entitled “Period of acceptance of offers” with the following instruction:

(c) Period of acceptance of offers. The offeror agrees to hold the prices in its offer firm for 120 days from the date specified for receipt of offers.

3. Replace paragraph (e) entitled “Multiple offers” with the following instructions:

(e) Multiple offers. Offeror shall submit only one offer presenting the terms and conditions or commercial items for satisfying the requirements of this solicitation.

4. Replace paragraph (h) entitled “Multiple Awards” with the following:

(h) The Government will award on an “all or none” basis.
