L-17 DISCUSSIONS

1. AWARD WITHOUT DISCUSSIONS: __________________________

A. In accordance with contract provision 52.215-1, INSTRUCTIONS TO OFFERORS COMPETITIVE ACQUISITION (Jan 2017), the Government intends to award a contract without discussions, but reserves the right to hold discussions, if necessary. Since Offerors may correct deficiencies, as defined in FAR 15.001, only through discussions, Offerors are cautioned to examine this solicitation in its entirety and to ensure that their proposals contain all necessary information, provides all required documentation, and are complete in all aspects. The Government reserves the right to conduct discussions as set forth in FAR 15.306(b).

B. During the conduct of this acquisition, the Acquisition Source Selection Interactive Support Tool (ASSIST) will be used by the Government to support the proposal evaluation and source selection process. A separate tool, the ASSIST2Industry, will be used in conjunction with ASSIST to accomplish all exchanges with Offerors after receipt of proposals pursuant to Federal

Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 15.306. ASSIST2Industry provides the ability for the Government to issue, and the Offerors to receive and respond to, Items for Negotiation (IFNs) and Evaluation Notices (ENs) in a secure online environment.

In order to initiate the use of ASSIST2Industry, the Government requires the Offerors group e-mail address as instructed in L-

17.2.

After the solicitations closing date, the Government will establish an account in ASSIST2Industry for the Offerors group e-mail address that has submitted with their proposal in response to this solicitation. Offerors group e-mail address will be

4 19

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

authorized access to that account. Two (2) separate system generated emails will be sent to the Offerors group e-mail address.

One of the emails will contain the ASSIST2Industry username. The other email will contain the temporary password. Using the provided username and temporary password, each Offeror can then go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account.

NOTE: The first time a user logs in, the user will be required to change the temporary password before the user can proceed to use the site.

Whenever the Government issues IFNs or ENs to the Offeror through ASSIST2Industry, the Governments Contracting Officer will notify the Offeror through a medium independent of ASSIST2Industry ( e.g., e-mail) that the Offeror has ENs in ASSIST2Industry waiting for a response. There will be no IFNs or ENs in ASSIST2Industry until such notice is issued by the Contracting

Officer.

All Offerors are advised that ASSIST2Industry has been updated and it is now the responsibility of PRIME Contractors to establish accounts for their SUBCONTRACTORS to respond to Government IFNs and/or ENs. A separate area within ASSIST2Industry has been created to allow authorized Subcontractor POCs to upload proposal files only. Subcontractors will not be able to access any other information on the ASSIST2Industry website (e.g. Questions/Evaluation Notices, Responses, etc.). Once a

Subcontractor has been added, they will receive a user ID (e.g. subcontractor0001) and password (an initial password) that will be sent via two separate system generated e-mails. A Subcontractor will have one user ID for all PRIMES and solicitation responses, i.e. if you are a Subcontractor to multiple Prime Contractors and multiple solicitation responses, you will only have one user ID. Once an account has been established for the Subcontractor, go to https://ASSIST2Industry.army.mil to access the account. Prime Contractors will only be able to see the number of files submitted by their Subcontractors; but, will be UNABLE TO VIEW the Subcontractors files.

ACCESSING ASSIST2INDUSTRY PRIME/SUBCONTRACTORS

Access to ASSIST2Industry will require a two factor authentication for each Prime and Subcontractor user. All ASSIST2Industry users are required to have a username/password (first authentication) and may select one of the following three methods for implementing the second authentication to access the site:

1. use an authenticator application on your cell phone (e.g. Google or Microsoft Authenticator) to receive a QR Code;

2. receive a code via an SMS Text Message to your cell phone; or

3. receive a code via e-mail.

If you have any other problems accessing your account, contact the Army Enterprise Service Desk (AESD) at the number listed below:

Phone: 1-866-335-2769 (ARMY), # Option 7

Please be prepared to provide the following:

To demonstrate proposed subcontracting effort and dollars planned at the IDIQ contract level, Offerors shall use the basic contract ceiling value of $800 million dollars with an equal distribution of anticipated funding obligations for each of the ten annual ordering periods (i.e., awarded order dollar obligations). The apparently successful Offerors SBSP shall be assessed for acceptability, or the need to be negotiated, in accordance with FAR 52.219-9 requirements and must be determined as acceptable by the Contracting Officer.

The SBSP is a material requirement of the solicitation and will be incorporated into any resulting contract. A SBSP deemed as unacceptable shall preclude an Offeror from being eligible for contract award. To the extent there is any overlapping content between an Offerors proposed SBSP and its proposed Small Business Participation Commitment Document (SBPCD) (see Section L.20.5 below), the overlapping content must be consistent for the SBSP to be deemed as acceptable.

(i) Each Offeror shall provide, if applicable, a summary describing the Joint Venture/Teaming Arrangement established for this RFP and documentation evidencing the legal relationship among the joint venture/teaming parties.

(ii) Offerors shall include in the Section J, Attachment 0066, Joint Venture/Teaming Information, a listing of the percentage of work to be performed by the Prime and each subcontractor and a description of the respective roles relative to each PWS paragraph.

Government. The Prime is responsible for ensuring that all Major subcontractor information submitted directly to the Government is received in accordance with the instruction at RFP Section L.16.

2. VOLUME 2 - TECHNICAL FACTOR.

This volume shall be sufficiently specific, detailed, and complete to demonstrate clearly and fully that the Offeror has a thorough understanding and knowledge of the various technical solutions to perform the broad requirements for worldwide U.S. Army Information

Systems Engineering Command (USAISEC) Total Engineering and Information Systems (TEIS) IV requirements. Unnecessarily elaborate or lengthy proposals are not desired. Simply stating that the Offeror understands and will perform the listed functions is inadequate.

Sample Task Cybersecurity Pkg.docx, ATT051, Sample Task-Satellite Communications.docx, and ATT059, Sample Task-

Tasks.

d. The approach for knowledge distribution to include sharing information with the Government and subcontractors;

e. Description of the Offeror's approach to change management and continuous process and service improvement. This description should include a discussion on how improvement initiatives will be captured and addressed and how such initiatives will be considered for contract-wide implementation that would reduce or prevent negative impacts to the requirement and its schedule.;

f. The identification of key positions that will ensure success on the program (including those that will be filled by subcontractors), minimum qualifications for those key positions, the rationale for using…
