The basis of award is the Best Value- Tradeoff process, as authorized by FAR 15.101-1. Proposals will be evaluated and ranked using non-cost/price factors for relative strengths, deficiencies, significant weaknesses, and risks.

Tradeoffs are permitted. The Government reserves the right to accept other than the lowest priced offer. The right is also reserved to reject any and all offers.

2. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

In accordance with FAR Clause 52.215-1, Instructions to Offerors – Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to make award without discussions. Therefore, offerors should submit their best technical and price terms in their initial offer and not automatically assume that they will have an opportunity to participate in discussions or to submit a revised offer. The Government may make award of a conforming proposal without discussions, if deemed to be within the best interests of the Government.

In accordance with 15.306(c)(1) and FAR Clause 52.215-1(f)(4), Instructions to Offerors –

Competitive Acquisitions, the Government reserves the right to conduct discussions if the Contracting Officer later determines them to be necessary. If the Contracting Officer determines that the number of proposals that would otherwise be in the competitive range exceeds the number at which an efficient competition can be conducted, the Contracting Officer may limit the number of proposals in the competitive range to the greatest number that will permit an efficient competition among the most highly rated proposals.

2.1 Contractor Team Arrangements. The Government will recognize the integrity and validity of contractor teaming arrangements, provided the arrangements are identified and company relationships are fully disclosed in the offer. As further described in paragraph 2.3, below, the Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract. This is the legal entity represented in Tab E, as registered in System for Award Management (SAM) and identified by its specifically assigned CAGE Code.

AMENDMENT 0003

2.3 2.2 The Government will only evaluate the information submitted by the legal entity with whom the Government would enter into a contract.

In an effort to reduce paperwork and reduce cost, all proposals shall be submitted electronically.

Title the file(s) in the following format:

W912PM-17-R-0007_COMPANY NAME_VOLUME I

W912PM-17-R-0007_COMPANY NAME_VOLUME II

Submit the Price and Technical proposals electronically via the AMRDEC SAFE website at:

https://safe.amrdec.army.mil/SAFE/welcome.aspx. At the AMRDEC SAFE website, select the blue button labeled ‘Click Here’, below the ‘Non-CAC Users’ title. Register, access the site and submit your proposal(s). [Note: It has been reported that documents are more quickly uploaded into the AMRDEC SAFE website when using a Firefox web browser. The Government cannot verify that this is true and offers no guarantee that offerors will have more success utilizing any particular browser.

When your proposals are submitted via the AMRDEC SAFE website, the website will provide notification of the submittal to the Government recipients. When completing the information for transmittal at the AMRDEC SAFE website, you will be required to enter email addresses for the recipients. For this solicitation, the recipients will be the Contracting Officer and Contract Specialist. The Contract Specialist for this project is Carol Jayroe, whose email address is carol.b.jayroe@usace.army.mil. The Contracting Officer for this project is Mr. John Hill, whose email address is john.t.hill@usace.army.mil. These email addresses are the ones you will enter as recipients.

In addition, after uploading your documents, you will be required to verify your email address before AMRDEC will send notification to the Government recipients. This is a very important step – even if you successfully upload your proposal to AMRDEC SAFE, notification will not be sent to the Government until you verify your email address, which may result in the rejection of your proposal for lateness. Follow the instructions on the AMRDEC website and confirmation emails you receive from AMRDEC.

AMENDMENT 0003

Proposal due Date and Time:

Request For Proposal No: W912PM-17-R-0007 Due Date of Proposal: 08 May 2017 17 May 2017 Time by which Proposals are Due: 2:00 P.M. 10:00 AM (Eastern Time) Title of Project: TMKH003003, SOF Special Tactics Squadron (STS) Operations Facilities Fort Bragg, NC

The date and time of delivery will be established by the time of receipt of the email notification to the Contract Specialist and Contracting Officer by the AMRDEC SAFE website, not by the date and time of uploading of the proposal into the AMRDEC SAFE website. Do not assume that electronic communication is instantaneous – in fact, it can take several minutes or even hours in some cases. Please make allowances for delays in transmittal. If an electronic submission is uploaded minutes before the deadline but notification is not actually received in the recipients’ email inboxes until after the deadline, the submission will be considered late. The Government will not be responsible for proposals delivered to any location or to anyone other than those designated to receive proposals on its behalf. Offerors are responsible for ensuring that proposals are submitted so as to reach the designated recipient of proposals. Offerors are responsible for allowing sufficient time for the proposal to be received in accordance with the instructions provided.

3.5 The contractor is responsible for including sufficient details in its proposal to permit a complete and accurate evaluation. Accordingly, the Contractor shall be clear and concise in its proposal. The Government will not make assumptions concerning the Contractor’s intent.

3.6 The technical data criteria specified for each factor identified herein and as described in these instructions shall be submitted as part of the proposal. Failure to submit all the data required by the RFP, and these instructions may be cause for determining a proposal incomplete and, therefore, not considered for award.

3.7 Do not include exceptions to the terms and conditions of the solicitation in either the technical or price proposal. Should the offer include any standard company terms and conditions that conflict with the terms and conditions of the solicitation, the offer may be determined “unacceptable” and thus ineligible for award. Should the offeror have any questions related to specific terms and conditions, these should be resolved prior to the submission of the offer.

3.8 Tabs. Proposal shall be organized and tabbed as follows:

3.8.1 VOLUME I: OFFEROR’S CERTIFICATIONS AND PRICE (FACTOR 6)

One (1) electronic copy Adobe PDF file as tabbed per the table below shall be submitted and one (1) original copy of the bid guarantee in both electronic and hardcopy shall be submitted.

TAB A – The proposal cover sheet is required by FAR 52.215-1 (c) (2) and must be submitted by all offerors. The format for the proposal cover sheet is as follows:

PROPOSAL COVER SHEET

1. The solicitation number;

2. The name, address, and telephone and facsimile numbers of the offeror (and electronic address if available);

3. A statement specifying the extent of agreement with all terms, conditions, and provisions included in the solicitation and agreement to furnish any or all items upon which prices are offered at the price set opposite each item;

4. Names, titles, and telephone and facsimile numbers (and electronic addresses if available) of persons authorized to negotiate on the offeror’s behalf with the Government in connection with this solicitation; and

5. Name, title, and signature of person authorized to sign the proposal. Proposals signed by an agent shall be accompanied by evidence of that agent’s authority, unless that evidence has been previously furnished to the issuing office.

Offerors should ensure telephone number; fax number, e-mail address, DUNS number and CAGE Code are all included. DUNS number will be used to access Contractor Performance Assessment Reporting System (CPARS) data. Offerors should also provide any other assigned number that identifies them in the CPARS database. If a separate DUNS has been created for a joint venture (J-V) it must be submitted. The offeror should also submit their Tax ID number on the proposal data Sheet.

Be advised that only the information of the prime contractor will be evaluated for experience and past performance. In the event that a proposal from a J-V is received, the experience and past performance of the J-V will be evaluated and not that of the firms that make up the J-V.

TAB B - Standard Form 1442, completed and signed by authorized individual(s) of the offeror. Offers submitted in the name of a Joint Venture must be signed in accordance with the terms and conditions specified in the joint venture agreement as evidenced in the proposal.

TAB C - If applicable - All amendments must be acknowledged by all offerors and duly executed with an original signature by an official authorized to bind the company in accordance with FAR 4.102.

TAB E - Section 00 45 00 – Representations and Certifications. Offerors shall include any narratives as it pertains to the requirement at 2.2 to document any teaming arrangement the offeror has or will enter into.

TAB F – Teaming Agreement Required Documentation, if applicable. See paragraph 2.1 and 2.2. Note to 8(a)—SBA must approve a joint venture prior to the award of an 8(a) contract on behalf of the joint venture.

TAB G - Offerors shall provide a fully executed Bid Bond as required by FAR Clause 52.228-1, Bid Guarantee in both HARD COPY and ELECTRONICALLY in Tab G.

For the purposes of this Request for Proposal, please note that in accordance with (IAW)

FAR 28.001:

“Bond means a written instrument executed by a bidder or contractor (the “principal”), and a second party (the “surety” or “sureties”) (except as provided in 28.204), to assure fulfillment of the principal’s obligations to a third party (the “obligee” or “Government”), identified in the bond. If the principal’s obligations are not met, the bond assures payment, to the extent stipulated, of any loss sustained by the obligee.”

Bonds shall therefore be executed in the name of the legal entity, whether a joint venture, partnership or the Prime Contractor of an informal teaming arrangement, with whom the government would enter into a contract for a successful offeror. The entity named on the bond must be able to acquire bonding capacity on its own merits, and not as the result of indemnification from a subcontractor or third party.
