For services, systems, operations support and information technology and at the thresholds listed in AFARS, USACE will evaluate contractor’s performance and prepare a performance report using the Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), which is a web-based system.

INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS(AM#3)

SECTION L- INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS

General Information:

1.1. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Omaha District intends to issue a Small Business Set-Aside solicitation and award a Pre-placed Remedial Action Contract (PRAC) Multiple Award Task Order Contract (MATOC) for shared capacity estimated at $176.25M to a target of ten (10) contractors to support USACE Northwestern Division, Omaha District, and its customers. Individual Task Orders will be solicited and competed within the MATOC pool. Task Orders within the MATOC may be Cost-Plus-Fixed-Fee (CPFF) or Firm Fixed Price (FFP) task orders, depending upon project risk.

NOTE: The intent is to award ten (10) contracts; however, if the Contracting Officer determines during the source selection process that fewer or more than that number of contracts should be awarded, the Contracting Officer has the discretion of adjusting that number (higher or lower) or awarding none at all. In any case, the Government may not award any contract if the resulting contract would not represent a "best value" to the Government using trade-off selection procedures as required by the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FARS) and other supplementary guidance.

The base ordering period for this MATOC is three (3) years. There will be one (1) optional ordering period of two

(2) years, with a total ordering period up to five (5) years from the date of contract award, with an option to extend the MATOC an additional six (6) months in accordance with FAR Clause 52.217-8, Option to Extend Services. The Government’s decision to exercise an option will be contingent upon satisfactory contractor past performance and an informal survey of current market conditions. The decision to exercise the option is at the discretion of the Government. The minimum guarantee amount for this MATOC (to include all option periods) is $2,500.00.

Proposals submitted must be sufficiently detailed to allow for an effective and equitable evaluation by the Government. There will be no public proposal opening. Proposals submitted will become, upon receipt, the property of the U.S. Government and will not be returned. After evaluation of proposals, electronic copies will be retained for the official paperless contract file. All other copies will be destroyed or forwarded to the Field and Areas Offices in support of their contract administration functions.

1.2. There are no drawings associated with this Request for Proposal. Copies of the solicitation are available by INTERNET ACCESS ONLY. All solicitation documents will be posted through the replacement website to FedBizOpps, beta.SAM.gov.

1.3. To assure timely and equitable evaluation of proposals, offerors must follow the instructions contained herein.

Offerors are required to meet all solicitation requirements, including terms and conditions, representations and certifications, and technical requirements, in addition to those identified as evaluation factors. The offeror shall submit in the proposal all requested information specified in this section of the Request for Proposal (RFP) solicitation at or before the exact time specified. There will be no public opening of the proposals received as a result of this solicitation. Failure to meet a requirement may result in an offer being ineligible for award.

1.4. The Contracting Officer has determined there is a high probability of adequate price competition in this acquisition. Upon examination of the initial offers, the Contracting Officer will review this determination and if, in the Contracting Officer's opinion, adequate price competition exists, no additional cost information will be requested and certification under FAR 15.406-2 will not be required. However, if at any time during this competition, the Contracting Officer determines that adequate price competition no longer exists; offerors may be required to submit information to the extent necessary for the Contracting Officer to determine the reasonableness and affordability of the price.

1.5. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) code and Small Business Size Standard. The NAICS code for this acquisition is 562910. However, the small business size standard for a concern which submits an offer in its own name, but which proposes to furnish an item which it did not itself manufacture is 750 employees (13 CFR Part 121, effective 26 February 2016).

1.6. Bidder Inquiry. Technical inquiries and questions relating to technical requirements, proposal procedures, etc.

are to be submitted via Bidder Inquiry in ProjNet (https://www.projnet.org/projnet/) no later than ten (10) calendar days prior to the date set for receiving proposals, in order that they may be given consideration actions taken prior to receipt of offers.

With respect to relevancy, more relevant past performance will typically be a stronger predictor of future success and have more influence on the past performance confidence assessment than past performance of less relevance.

If the Government does not receive past performance information for the project(s) identified by the offeror and cannot establish a past performance record for the offeror through other sources, or the offeror has no past performance record, the offeror will be given a “neutral” confidence rating. In rating past performance, the Government may consider available past performance information on predecessor companies, employment histories of key personnel, or major subcontractors performing key elements of the project.

The Government reserves the right to obtain past performance information from any available source. The Government will consider information submitted by the offeror, as well as any other relevant and reliable information obtained from any available source. The Government will consider information submitted in Government databases such as Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS), as well as any other relevant and reliable sources of documented past performance information. The Government will evaluate the relevancy of the information, the source of the information, and general trends in performance, along with any other information, which may help the Government, assess performance risk.
