52.212-2 ADDENDUM

A. BASIS FOR AWARD (52.212-2)

The resultant awards will be made to a maximum of six proposals and will be made to Offerors whose proposals are determined to be the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LTPA), with appropriate consideration given to the four

(4) evaluation factors: Technical Capability, Management Approach, Price and Past Performance. To receive consideration for award, a rating of no less than “Acceptable” must be achieved for the Technical Capability, Management Approach and Past Performance. Adequate price competition is expected to achieve fair and reasonable prices; however, in accordance with FAR §15.404-1, price evaluation techniques may be employed to ensure that offered prices are fair and reasonable. The Government intends on awarding the first Delivery Order(s) based on the proposals and pricing submitted as a result of this solicitation.

FACTORS AND SUB-FACTORS TO BE EVALUATED

The evaluation factors identified below will be used to evaluate each proposal. Award will be made to the offerors whose proposals are the lowest price, technically acceptable offers based upon an integrated assessment of the evaluation factors and subfactors -- which identify the minimum requirements that are key to successful contract performance -- described below. Offerors must meet the minimum technical requirements for acceptability to receive consideration for award.

Evaluation of the offeror’s proposal will address each factor and subfactor as they apply to the Statement of Work (SOW). The proposal will be evaluated to determine the extent that it demonstrates a comprehensive and complete capability to perform the work outlined in the SOW and as described in the solicitation. Offerors must be responsive to all of the requirements in the solicitation, and provide sufficient information to allow evaluation of the proposals per the Government’s Evaluation Approach and FAR 52.212–2 of the solicitation. The Government will assign an adjectival rating of either ACCEPTABLE or UNACCEPTABLE with a supportive narrative evaluation reflecting the identified findings.

The technical and management proposals must be specific, detailed, and complete. It must clearly demonstrate that the Offeror has a thorough understanding of contractual requirements.

General statements that Offerors understand the factors and subfactors, and can or will comply with the requirements of the solicitation, will be considered inadequate. Statements to the effect that Offeror understands, can or will comply with the solicitation, including referenced publications, technical data, etc...; statements paraphrasing the solicitation or parts thereof, including applicable publications, technical data, etc.; and phrases such as “standard procedures will be employed” or “well known techniques will be used,” etc., or parroting statement in the instructions to offerors, will be considered unacceptable.

Factor 1: Technical Capability

The Technical Capability Factor is further divided into the following subfactors:

a. Subfactor 1: Transportation, Storage and Fuel Fleet Requirements The offeror’s proposed transportation plan, interim storage (if proposed), and fuel vehicle fleet will be evaluated to determine their suitability for fuel delivery to all geographic areas of Afghanistan. To be acceptable, the offer demonstrates the ability to transport the volume of fuel identified in Attachment 0001 - MOI RFDOP Pricing Spreadsheet, from refineries to final destination. If the offeror proposes interim storage, its proposal demonstrates that its mix of storage capacity and transport vehicles is adequate to satisfy the demand indicated in Attachment 0001. If the offeror does not propose interim storage, its proposal adequately describes how its vehicle fleet can transport fuels from refinery to multiple final destinations within the ninety-six (96) hour timeframe required by the contract Statement of Work. The proposal includes a complete listing of proposed prime (and sub) contractor vehicles, by VIN or other unique identification, and describes a maintenance plan to ensure adequate rolling stock to satisfy delivery requirements.

b. Subfactor 2: Quality Control

The offeror’s proposed Quality Assurance/Quality Control Plan describes its internal and external testing and assurance policies, its Standard Operating Procedures, and corrective action methodologies to ensure that it consistently delivers compliant fuel throughout the life of the delivery order performance period. The plan provides for testing and validation of fuel quality throughout the offeror’s supply chain, including point of origin, any transfer points (between carriers, between prime and subcontractors, or from interim storage facilities into final delivery vehicles), and at point of final delivery. The offeror must also demonstrate that its proposed subcontractors possess mature and effective quality control plans, and that both prime and subcontractor plans will be updated to reflect any process that are unique to performance under this contract.

The Government will consider the completeness and feasibility of the Offeror’s proposed technical approach to assess the Offeror’s understanding of the requirement and its ability to successfully complete contract requirements.

To be considered technically acceptable Offeror’s proposal must clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation. Technical Capability will be expressed as acceptable or unacceptable:

RATING DEFINITION

ACCEPTABLE

Proposal unambiguously describes a technical approach to satisfy the minimum requirements of each subfactor, with sufficient detail to engender confidence that the offeror can provide all required fuels in accordance with contract terms and conditions.

UNACCETABLE

Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 2: Management Approach

To be acceptable, the offeror’s management proposal will describe the offeror’s management structure, key personnel, subcontract and lease management programs, and internal Standard Operating Procedures with sufficient detail to reasonably demonstrate its ability to manage a contract of this scope and complexity. The management proposal will include letters of commitment from fuel suppliers, any proposed transportation subcontractors, and any lessors of commercial interim storage capacity. The offeror’s supply chain will be fully described, from purchase of bulk fuels at refineries, importation of fuel consistent with Afghan law, transportation and storage (if proposed), and to ultimate destination, with particular attention paid to training and management of deliver personnel responsible for final delivery to MOI sites. The offeror will also demonstrate the financial resources necessary to acquire and deliver fuel for at least sixty (60) days prior to initial payment under this contract, and must provide letters of commitment from wholesale providers of fuel and/or letters of credit from recognized financial institutions sufficient to provide financing of contractor operations for up to ninety (90) days prior to initial payment. The offeror provides current licenses as described in Statement of Work ¶3.0.

General statements that Offerors understand the factors and can or will comply with the requirements of the solicitation will be considered inadequate. Statements to the effect that Offeror has, can or will comply with the licensing and credentialing, including referenced licenses; statements paraphrasing the solicitation or parts thereof, including applicable licenses.; and phrases such as “we have this license” or “will obtain upon award” etc., or parroting of instructions to offerors, will be considered unacceptable.

RATING DEFINITION

Proposal demonstrates that the offeror has sufficient management expertise and staffing to manage contract of this scope and complexity; has sufficient financial capability to perform while awaiting payment; demonstrates sufficient understanding of supply chain management techniques, and proposes a trained and qualified workforce.

UNACCETABLE

Proposal does not clearly meet the minimum requirements of the solicitation.

Factor 3: Cost/Price:

The resulting award will be firm-fixed price. Adequate price competition should guarantee that prices are fair and reasonable, but price evaluation in accordance with FAR §15.404-1 will be conducted if determined necessary.

Pricing offered in response to this solicitation, if selected for an award, must remain valid for 120 days after award of the basic contract of which will be the basis used for the first Delivery Order(s). Pricing must be submitted in U.S Dollars (USD).

4. Past Performance Factor. The Government will evaluate the offeror’s record of past and current performance to ascertain the probability of successfully performing the required efforts outlined within the SOW.

a. Evaluation of past performance shall be in accordance with this plan utilizing the forms and questionnaires set forth in Attachment 0003 Past Performance Questionnaire. The Contracting Officer may also review information pertaining to the Offeror from any source, and may review existing governmental past performance evaluation systems.

b. The Government will focus its inquiries on the offeror’s and subcontractor’s record of performance as they relates to all solicitation requirements, including price, schedule, performance and management of subcontractors. Subcontractors are defined as members of an offeror’s overall team that are expected to perform against the proposed effort. A significant achievement, problem, or lack of relevant data in any element of the work can become an important consideration in the evaluation process. Therefore, offerors will be reminded to include the most recent and relevant efforts (within the past three years) in their proposal. The Government may use data provided by the offeror in its proposal and data obtained from other sources, including data in Government files or data obtained through interviews with personnel familiar with the contractor and their current and past performance under International, Federal, State or Local government or commercial contracts for same or similar products.

c. Offerors shall submit all Government and/or commercial contracts for the prime offeror and each subcontractor in performance or awarded during the past three years, from the issue date of this RFP, which are relevant to the efforts required by this RFP. The Government may consider a wide array of information from a variety of sources, but is not compelled to rely on all of the information available.

d. The Contractor shall demonstrate acceptable or better performance on recent and relevant contracts, in accordance with FAR 15.305(a)(2). Absence of past performance would result in a neutral rating, which equates to acceptable.

e. The Offeror’s submission of past performance data provides the U.S. Government with a way to gauge the Offeror’s ability to successfully satisfy the requirements outlined within the solicitation.

f. The Offeror shall provide documentation outlining the Offeror’s past performance within at the last three(3) years with fuel transport and delivery of POL, as a prime or subcontractor, which is the same or similar in nature, size, and complexity to the product being supplied under this solicitation.

g. The Offeror shall provide and complete Past Performance Questionnaire (Attachment 0003 – Past Performance Questionnaire to the Solicitation, Appendix D of this document). For the contracts identified on each Specific Relevant Contract Reference, the Offeror shall forward a copy of the Past Performance Questionnaire to the points of contact responsible for monitoring performance under such contracts. The points of contact shall return the questionnaires the steven.b.piggott.civ@mail.mil not later than the solicitation closing date. Any questionnaires not returned directly to the POC will not be reviewed and evaluated. The information contained in the questionnaires will be used to evaluate the Offeror’s past performance. New entities that have no past customers shall annotate on the Summary Page that they have had no previous clients and that the minimum number of questionnaires cannot be provided.

h. Past Performance information described herein is required on the Offeror and all subcontractors, teaming partners, and/or joint venture partners proposed to perform 100% of the proposed effort based on the total proposed price. The Offeror shall submit, along with the information required in this paragraph, a consent letter, executed by each subcontractor, teaming partner, and/or joint venture partner, authorizing release of adverse past performance information to the Offeror so the Offeror can respond to such information. For each identified effort for a commercial customer, the Offeror shall also submit a client authorization letter, authorizing release to the Government of requested information on the Offeror’s performance.

i. The ratings for Factor 4 (Past Performance) will be expressed as acceptable or unacceptable:

Past Performance Rating

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has a reasonable expectation that the offeror will successfully perform the required effort, or the offeror’s performance record is unknown or natural.

UNACCEPTABLE

Based on the offeror’s performance record, the Government has no reasonable expectation that the offeror will be able to successfully perform the required effort.

Note: In the case of an offeror without a record of relevant past performance or for whom information on past performance is not available or so sparse that no meaningful past performance rating can be reasonably assigned, the offeror may not be evaluated favorably or unfavorably on past performance (see FAR 15.305 (a)(2)(iv)). Therefore, the offeror shall be determined to have unknown past performance. In the context of acceptability/unacceptability, “unknown” shall be considered “acceptable.”

DISCUSSIONS

1. GENERAL INFORMATION. In accordance with FAR 15.306(d), discussion sessions with each offeror may be held should the SSA deem them necessary. Should discussions take place, all offerors in the competitive range will be allowed a minimum of seven (7) calendar days to submit Final Proposal Revisions after discussions are complete.

2. DISCUSSION SCHEDULING. If discussions are conducted, the Contracting Officer will schedule the discussion sessions, and each offeror will be notified of the time and place at least one (1) day prior to its discussion session. The Contracting Officer will provide additional instructions with the notification.

ORDERING PROCEDURES

1. Requirements for all fuels, and all locations, will be competed among all contract holders every 120 days. A Request for Delivery Order Proposal (RFDOP) will be issued to all contract holders. The RFDOP will include Attachment 0001, MOI Pricing Worksheet, with estimated quantities for each Ministry of Defense (MOI)/Afghan National Police (ANP) Zone identified at Tab 1. Each contract holder will be provided a fair opportunity to be considered for each delivery order award.

2. Contractors will submit pricing, free-on-board (FOB) Destination, for each fuel type (Diesel, Mogas, and Propane) for each Zone (Attachment 0001, MOI Pricing Worksheet, Tab 2). Pricing for each Zone will apply to all locations within that Zone, as identified in Statement of Work §10.0. If additional delivery locations are subsequently added to the contract, pricing for those locations will be based upon the Zone in which they are located.

3. The proposed price (per liter for diesel and Mogas, per kilogram for propane) will be multiplied by the estimated quantities identified for each Zone, in Attachment 0001, MOI Pricing Worksheet, Tab 1. The resulting prices will be summed at Tab 3 of Attachment 0001, MOI Pricing Worksheet, and constitute the Total Evaluated Price.

4. The contractor that offers the lowest Total Evaluated Price for all fuels in a particular Zone will be awarded the entire CLIN associated with that Zone even if it does not offer the lowest price for a particular fuel within that particular Zone. During any 120-day performance period, only a single contractor will deliver fuels to all locations associated with a particular Zone, in order to avoid duplication of effort and delivery routes by multiple contractors.

5. Each Delivery Order issued pursuant to an RFDOP will be for five months; however, no deliveries will be required in the first month. Deliveries will commence on the first day of the second month after award, and will continue for four subsequent months. Award of ensuing delivery orders will be made one month prior to completion of deliveries under the prior delivery orders, and will allow the contractor – either the incumbent or a new contractor, if a different contractor offers lower pricing for the second ordering period – to mobilize for the next performance period. For example, award under the base contract is made on 1 August 2017; deliveries will commence, as directed in accordance with § 4.0 of the Statement of Work, on 1 September 2017. On or about 15 November, a new RFDOP will be issued, and award will be made on 1 December 2017, with first deliveries scheduled to commence on 1 January 2018. After initial contract award, subsequent RFDOPs will be issued on or about 15 November 2017 and 15 March 2018, with anticipated award dates of 1 December 2017 and 1 March 2018. Because this contract is for a one year duration, there will be only three separate four-month performance periods – September-December 2017; January-April 2018; and May-August 2018.

6. Each RFDOP may result in multiple awards, or only a single award if one contractor offers the lowest Total Evaluated Price for each of the eight (8) Zone (CLINs 0001-0008).

7. Delivery orders will utilize “Not To Exceed” (NTE) quantities. The quantities listed in Attachment 0001, MOI Pricing Worksheet, Tab 1 are estimates only; the Government is only obligated to pay for the actual quantities delivered for each Contract Line Item Number (CLIN), in accordance with Statement of Work §4.10.

The NTE CLIN price will represent all fuel types for the corresponding Zone; however, the contractor will be paid based on its offered price for the total quantity of each fuel delivered pursuant to the particular CLIN, in accordance with Attachment 0001, MOI Pricing Worksheet, Tab 2.

8. The contractor may only bill for the fuel actually delivered. Any funding remaining on any delivery order, corresponding to fuels ordered but not delivered, will be de-obligated.

SECTION 1.0 – BACKGROUND

Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A), in coordination with North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) nations and partners, international organizations, donors and non- governmental organizations, supports the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) in its efforts to develop and sustain the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) and the Ministry of Interior (MOI); develop leaders and leadership structure; and establish enduring institutional capacity to enable accountable Afghan-centric security to the country. CSTC-A helps oversee training and equipping of Afghan forces throughout Afghanistan, and provides logistics support to ANDSF and MOI consistent with that mission. As an element of logistics support, the U.S. Government has identified an enduring requirement to ensure that adequate supplies of Petroleum, Oil and Lubricant (POL) products are available to MOI training sites, operating sites, operational forces, and national-level management and leadership activities.

SECTION 2.0 – SCOPE

The Contractor shall provide the services, resources, vehicles, equipment, tools, and management necessary to acquire and deliver POL products to MOI sites and other facilities throughout the country of Afghanistan. In no circumstance will the U.S. Government furnish POL products to the contractor. The contractor is solely responsible for all required commodity sourcing, as well as delivery to points specified herein and in individual delivery orders.

The Government will compete requirements based on MOI operational requirements. Requirements may vary in quantity, delivery suspense, and locations; the contractor shall maintain sufficient operational flexibility to satisfy requirements at a broad range of locations contained in this contract.

SECTION 3.0 - AFGHANISTAN BUSINESS REQUIREMENTS

3.1 The contractor must obtain all applicable licensing and authorizations to operate a business in Afghanistan. The minimum licenses required are outlined below:

1. Transportation Services License – Issued by AISA (Afghanistan Investment Support Agency) or equivalent to MoCI (Ministry of Commerce and Industry)

2. Transit & Forwarding License – Issued by MoCI (Ministry of Commerce and Industry)

3. Petroleum Import License – Issued by MoCI

4. Membership in Turkmenistan Security & Commodity Exchange (TSCE) (generally known as

Turkmenbashi)*

* Required if fuel is acquired on Turkmenbashi.

3.2 The Contractor is responsible for obtaining and maintaining all documentation required by GIRoA for the transportation of fuel in Afghanistan. All fuel deliveries to MOI are exempt from taxation by GIRoA and Afghanistan customs duties, as fuels are purchased by the US Government for use by GIRoA. However, Afghan companies are not exempt from GIRoA taxes on corporate profits associated with this contract effort.

3.3 The Contractor is responsible to initiate the required documentation with the Afghanistan Customs Department (ACD) associated with importation of fuel delivered under this contract (the “Mauffi Nama” process).

Upon award of a delivery order, the contractor must purchase a Mauffi Nama request form from the Afghanistan Customs Department, complete it in accordance with instructions thereto, and submit the form, through the Contracting Officer, to the Resolute Support International Customs Coordination Cell (ICCC). The ICCC will create a Diplomatic Note authorizing the importation of the estimated quantities of specified fuels duty free.

3.4 Upon completion of the delivery order performance period, the Contracting Officer will provide the ICCC the actual quantities of different fuels delivered pursuant to the order; the ICCC will in turn inform the Afghanistan Customs Department in order that the contractor can be assessed import duty on fuels imported pursuant to the Mauffi Nama but not actually delivered to an MOI site.

3.5 Except for United States contractors, all contractors and subcontractors shall be registered in the Joint Contingency Contracting System (JCCS) and maintain an active registration throughout contract performance. U.S.

contractors shall be registered in the System for Award Management (SAM).
