(b) Attention is directed to the Contract Award provision of the solicitation that provides that a written award or acceptance of offer mailed, or otherwise furnished to the successful offeror, results in a binding contract. The Government will mail or otherwise furnish to the offeror an award or notice of award not later than the day award is dated. Therefore, the offeror should compute the time available for performance beginning with the actual date of award, rather than the date the written notice of award is received from the

Contracting Officer through the ordinary mails. However, the Government will evaluate an offer that proposes delivery based on the

Contractors date of receipt of the contract or notice of award by adding

(1) five calendar days for delivery of the award through the ordinary mails, or

(2) one working day if the solicitation states that the contract or notice of award will be transmitted electronically. (The term working day excludes weekends and U.S. Federal holidays.) If, as so computed, the offered delivery date is later than the required delivery date, the offer will be considered nonresponsive and rejected.

(c) Only upon approval from the Contracting Officer, an accelerated delivery schedule may be acceptable at no additional cost to the

Government.

a. Volume I Past Performance Factor

8 14

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

b. Volume II Price Factor

c. Volume III Administrative

L.4.1 Volume I Past Performance Factor

L.4.1 Past Performance

For the Past Performance Factor, provide information for a total of up to two recent contracts performed by the offeror as the prime contractor, that the offeror considers to have relevance. These may include federal, state, local and private industry contracts. The burden of providing thorough and complete past performance information remains with the offeror. It is the offeror's responsibility to submit detailed and complete information so the Government may evaluate its Past Performance volume. The Government does not assume the duty to search for data to cure problems it finds in proposals. While the Government may elect to consider data obtained from internal and external sources other than the proposal, the burden to provide thorough and complete past performance information rests with the offeror. The below instructions are provided to advise offerors as to the information required by the Government to assess the contractors Recent and Relevant past performance. Since this information constitutes a basis of the Government's review, it is imperative that the offeror present its past performance in a clear and complete manner. Failure to provide the information requested under paragraph L.4.1.3 and L.4.1.4 (if applicable) below may result in an assessment that the offeror does not possess a record of

Recent and Relevant past performance.

For the purpose of this Factor, a Contract is defined as a written instrument that requires the performance of a distinct effort and demonstrates the distinct effort was actually performed. Written instruments containing supplies or services that can be ordered but typically do not demonstrate actual performance, such as Indefinite Delivery Contracts (FAR 16.5), Basic Ordering Agreements (BOA), Blanket Purchase Agreements (BPA), and Federal Supply Schedules (FSS) do not meet the definition of a Contract. Written instruments considered to demonstrate actual performance may include a single task or delivery order, a single work directive, or a single definite quantity contract provided it demonstrates a distinct effort was actually performed. An offeror may submit, or the Government may require, written instruments that enhance the Governments understanding of the distinct effort actually performed if it is not identified on the Contract itself. It is incumbent upon the offeror to demonstrate that a distinct effort was actually performed.

L.4.1.1 Recent Contracts are those performed within five years of the date of issuance of this RFP.

L.4.1.2 Relevant Contracts are those comparable in scope and magnitude of effort and complexity to the following statement of work requirements:

i: Fabricate a parachute system to a Government technical data package, to include a canopy assembly and deployment bag, with a quantity of 550 units delivered at a rate of 50 per month.

L.4.1.3 Contract Information: Refer to the definition of a Contract above (L.4.1). The offerors proposal shall substantiate what distinct effort was required and actually performed under each of the proposed Contract(s). For each Contract(s) submitted, provide the following information:

(a) Prime Contractor name and address;

(b) Contract Number (and delivery/task order number if applicable);

(c) Contract Type;

(d) Total Value of the Contract (beginning & ending value);

(e) Delivery or Performance Schedule;

(f) Government or private industry contracting activity address, telephone number and e-mail;

(g) Procuring Contracting Officers (PCO) and/or Contract Specialists name, or point of contact for private industry entity responsible for signing or administering the Contract, telephone number and e-mail;

(h) Government (DCMA) or private industry administrative contracting officer (ACO), contracting officers representative (COR), performance certifier, and/or quality assurance representative (QAR), name, telephone number and email;

(i) Specify the Government or contractor point(s) of contact for which the Questionnaire was sent, and provide the date(s) it was sent.

(j) A description of the work performed by the offeror, which shall include a narrative describing the similarities between (1) the relevant work performed under the statement of work requirements of the offerors cited Contract(s) and (2) The statement of work requirements identified in L.4.1.2. In its narrative, the offeror shall specify the location in the cited Contracts statement of work

(to include paragraph and page number) that substantiates the relevant work performed;

(k) Contract period of performance;

(l) Provide a brief self-assessment of Contract performance. The self-assessment must address performance to meet Technical and

Schedule; and

(m) Copy of the complete Performance Work Statement or Scope of Work for each of the submitted Contracts. If the proposed Contract was issued under or in connection with a related written instrument (e.g. Indefinite Delivery Contracts, BOA, BPA, FSS) and the details of the distinct effort actually performed needed to establish relevancy on the proposed Contract are further defined within the terms and conditions (e.g. statement of work) of that related written instrument, provide that information and any other information necessary to establish this instruments relationship to the proposed Contract.

L.4.1.4 Associated Entity, Predecessor Company, and Joint Venture. As stated above (L.4.1), only Contracts performed by the named offeror will be considered, however the Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity, a predecessor company, or joint venture as explained below.

L.4.1.4.1 Associated Entity. The Government may consider the past performance of an associated entity if the offeror successfully demonstrates meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

a) An associated entity may include a parent company, separate corporate division within the same parent company, subsidiary company, a legally affiliated company, etc. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offerors relationship to the associated entity.

b) The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the associated entity will provide to the proposed effort i.e. the work to be performed by the associated entity. Meaningful involvement may include a description of the associated entitys resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A Contract will not be considered unless the offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the associated entity in the proposed effort.

L.4.1.4.2 Predecessor Company. The Government may consider the past performance of a predecessor company if the offeror demonstrates the experience of the predecessor company is reasonably predictive of the offerors performance under the proposed effort.

It may also include other instances where the predecessor company was reorganized, restructured, or otherwise altered. A predecessor company does not include an entity which remains separate and distinct from the offeror. The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the offerors relationship to the predecessor company. The offeror shall support the narrative with documentation evidencing the offerors status as the successor company.

b) The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains why the predecessors past performance is predictive of the offerors performance under the proposed effort. Evidence may include, but is not limited to, continuity of operations such as the continued employment of the predecessors employees and the transfer of assets including buildings, furnishings, and fixtures.

L.4.1.4.3 Individual Partners of a Joint Venture. If the offeror is a Joint Venture, the Government may consider past performance of each partner of the Joint Venture and any work performed by the Joint Venture itself previously. The offeror must successfully demonstrate meaningful involvement by the partner to the proposed effort.

a) The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that discloses the individual partners of the Joint Venture and shall provide documentation evidencing the Joint Venture.

b) The offeror shall provide to the Government a narrative that explains the meaningful involvement the Joint Venture partner will provide to the proposed effort. Meaningful involvement may include a description of the partners resources, such as its workforce, facilities, and/or other resources that will be provided or relied upon in the proposed effort. A Contract will not be considered unless the offeror successfully establishes meaningful involvement by the partner in the proposed effort.

L.9 Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) Transition Information for Offerors (LS7002)

a. The Army Contracting Enterprise (ACE) is in the process of deploying new solicitation and contract writing software to

Army contracting offices worldwide. Known as the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS), this modern software suite will soon replace most existing Army contract writing systems, including the system used to create and release this Solicitation.

b. During this transition period, Offerors are hereby advised:

1. The Contracting Office may use any combination of contract writing systems to create and release documents related to this solicitation (e.g. solicitation amendments and awards, if any). Due to this:

i. This solicitation may contain different offer submission instructions than other solicitations released by the same

Contracting Office (e.g. requiring offer submission via the PIEE Solicitation Module vs. e-mail). Offerors should review all offer submission instructions contained in the solicitation documents and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract Specialist or

Contracting Officer.

ii. If the Contracting Office switches contract writing systems prior to award, documents you receive from the Contracting

Officer or view on SAM.gov or other forums may appear noticeably different than the initial solicitation or previous solicitations or awards from the same Contracting Office. This is normal and expected.

iii. A change between contract writing systems may cause important information concerning solicitation response

(amendments) or accepted terms (awards) to take on different formatting or appear in different parts of later documents issued. Offerors shall review all documents carefully to locate this important information and direct any questions or concerns to the Contract

Specialist or Contracting Officer.

2. The Government does not intend to use the transition between contract writing systems to effect any changes to solicitation or award terms and conditions without accompanying document narratives explicitly stating such changes are deliberate and desired. While the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer will take care to minimize or eliminate any inadvertent changes when adapting to the new contract writing software, you, as the Offeror, may still be the first to spot such errors. Therefore, Offerors shall:

i. Notify the Contracting Officer immediately if any observed changes, removals, or additions affect your award

13 14

Name of Offeror or Contractor:

PIIN/SIIN MOD/AMD

eligibility, violate or alter existing quote/proposal terms, or could affect Contract performance post-award.

ii. Take special care to ensure all fill-in Clauses are populated and remain populated across documents received from the

Contracting Office throughout the Solicitation and Award process.

iii. Contact the Contracting Officer listed on the first page of the solicitation or solicitation amendment for guidance if you notice or suspect any inadvertent change has occurred between document issuances.

3. The Contracting Officer will correct problems affecting award documents (if any) via bilateral modification, at no cost to the Contractor. Any such modification will reconcile the award with the latest version of this solicitation reflecting deliberate action by the Contracting Officer (e.g. the first issuance if no amendments, or the latest amendment with accompanying narratives), inclusive of any documented pre-award negotiations or accepted supplemental offer terms.

4. In the unlikely event a network disruption, contract writing system error, or financial system error threatens timely award of the requirement set forth in this solicitation, the Contracting Officer:

i. May elect to use alternative mechanisms to obligate funds and allow work or deliveries to legally begin to the benefit of, and with legal protection for, both parties.

ii. Will incorporate the latest version of this Solicitation into such mechanisms to serve as a framework for contract execution until any such system problems are resolved.

iii. Will ensure any action taken does not conflict with the stated offer evaluation and award methodology of this requirement.

iv. Will issue a complete, properly-formatted award accurately reflecting this requirement and all applicable terms and conditions once systems return to normal.
