(2) Factor 1 – Mission Capability. The Mission Capability evaluation provides an assessment of the offeror’s capability to satisfy the Government’s requirements. The evaluation will focus on whether the offeror’s proposal is either acceptable or unacceptable to meet the subfactors below.

Sub-Factor 1: Staffing Plan. The staffing plan must clearly depict the total number of hours and labor categories and shall not contain cost or price information. All cross utilization of personnel shall be clearly explained and depicted. Man-hour matrices shall be provided, depicting the proposed labor effort for core operations.

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 - Past Performance. . Past Performance evaluation will be conducted by the Government using, Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and will be used to determine the rating for past performance.

(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.

(a) Proposal Pricing. Proposal prices shall be good for 90 days.

(b) 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).

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

(c) A written notice of award or acceptance of an offer, mailed or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror within the time for acceptance specified in the offer, shall result in a binding contract without further action by either party.

Legibility, clarity and coherence are very important. Your responses will be evaluated against the Technical factors defined in 52.212-2.

Similarly, for oral presentations, elaborate productions are unnecessary and not desired.

(2) The Mission Capability shall, at a minimum, be prepared in a form consistent with the evaluation criteria for award set forth in 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 PSW.

-Table of Contents -List of Table and Drawings -Cross Reference Matrix -Exceptions/Assumptions (Identification and explanation of any exceptions or deviations). Additionally, identify any assumptions used in preparing the proposal.

-Evaluation Criteria

Sub-Factor One – Staffing Plan- In evaluating this factor, the assessment will concentrate on the offeror’s understanding and capability of providing the scope of services required. Proposals will be evaluated on proposed management, labor mix, and total number of full time equivalents (FTEs) per functional area, as well as proposed organizational structure, by functional area as depicted in TE 3 – Optimum Staffing. If the proposal lists alternative proposed staffing that differs from the staffing that the government deems optimal in order to support the requirements stated in the solicitation, the proposal shall support the alternative staffing in detail and explain how their proposed staffing will support the requirements stated in the solicitation. Otherwise, a proposal that lists alternative proposed staffing without this detail will result in an unacceptable rating for this factor.

Sub-Factor Two – Management Plan – In evaluating this subfactor, the assessment will concentrate on the extent to which it demonstrates a clear understanding of the organization, personnel, tools and processes required to address JPED’s challenges and issues. Proposals will be evaluated to determine whether the offeror’s organization, management techniques, processes, controls and personnel will meet requirements of the PWS and whether the proposal provides the government with confidence of successful performance may result in an acceptable rating.

SUB-Factor Three- Risk Mitigation Plan- In evaluating this subfactor, the assessment will concentrate on the contractor’s plan, on what to do in a time of a surge. After the surge is over, what will be the plan to ramp back down to normal operation. This evaluation will be done utilizing the attached scenario in Technical Exhibit 4 (TE4).

Past Performance- Past Performance evaluation will be conducted by the Government using Past Performance Information Retrieval System (PPIRS) and will be used to determine the rating for past performance. Should no past performance exist, the contractor will be rated neutral, which is acceptable.

(c) Volume III –Price Offerors shall ensure that no pricing information is displayed in the Mission Capability Volume; however, this restriction does not preclude the offeror from describing staff levels relevant to its proposal.

1. The offeror shall submit a price proposal for a one year base period and two one-year option periods. All final monetary extensions shall be in whole dollars only.

2. For each year, the offeror shall submit a monthly price for the contract line item for core operations (CLINs 0001, 0002, 1001, 2001, 3001,4001 and 4004).
